Why We Fast

To fast is to set food aside for a time so hunger itself becomes a prayer. It's not a technique for getting God to move. It's a way of saying, with our bodies and not just our words, that we want Him more than our next meal.

"The Lord will guide you always… you will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail." Isaiah 58:11

Guidance. Direction. Clarity for the road ahead. That's exactly what we're asking God for as a church in this campaign.

What We're Asking For

  • Reconnection with Him — abiding, not just believing
  • Clear vision for Union Chappel in a rapidly growing city
  • Wisdom to equip our church family for the work ahead
  • Boldness to reach the harvest field around us and make disciples

Full Guide

Choose Your Fast

Talk to your doctor first if you're pregnant or nursing, have diabetes or another blood-sugar condition, take medication that requires food, are under 18, or have a history of disordered eating. The Non-Food Fast is a full and meaningful option for anyone in that group.

Recommended

Modified Fast

Dinner to dinner. Skip breakfast and lunch on your fast day. Water, black coffee or tea, and clear juice or broth are permitted.

Optional

Full Fast

Water only for 24 hours. For those who've fasted before, have no health concerns, and have their doctor's blessing if uncertain.

Alternative

Non-Food Fast

Set aside your phone, social media, or television for 24 hours. Use the time to pray and listen, same as everyone else.

Share What You're Hearing

As you fast and pray this season, God may speak through Scripture, a picture, a burden, or a quiet impression. Use this form to send it to our Prayer Team. We're gathering what He's saying to the whole church, not just to individuals, so nothing you share is too small to submit.
