January 9-29, 2023
Join us as we start 2023 with a church-wide 21 days of prayer and fasting! Our desire is for our Promise Center Family to start off 2023, not just with resolutions, but with fresh revelations! During these 21 days, we are drawing closer to God in prayer, and pushing away the world through fasting.
Our 21 days will begin Monday, January 9th and end Sunday, January 29th. We encourage each person participating to prayerfully consider what kind of fast the Lord would have you do. You can find more information on fasting through the resources below.
We will be working through, "Pursuit - 21 Days Prayer & Fasting Devotional" by Pastor Dave Patterson as a congregation. Books will be available for purchase soon in the Connect Center.

Soul Fast
This fast is a great option if you do not have much experience fasting food, have health conditions that prevent you from fasting food, or if you wish to refocus certain areas of your life that are out of balance. Soul fasts do not involve fasting food, but rather fasting certain elements of your daily life that can serve as distractions from engaging with God. For example. You might choose to stop using social media or watching television for the duration of the fast.
Partial Fast
This fast is sometimes called the “Jewish Fast” and involves not eating any type of food in the morning and afternoon. This can either correlate to specific times of the day, such as 6:00 am to 3:00 pm, or from sunup to sundown.
Selective Fast
One example of a selective fast is the Daniel Fast, during which you remove processed foods and focus on consuming specific food groups.
Complete Fast
In this type of fast, you drink only liquids, typically water with light juices as an option. Please do not enter into a complete fast if you have medical conditions that will worsen due to lack of food and nutrition. We encourage you to choose another type of fast, like the ones listed above.
