Awaken City Church

Awaken City Church….. “Awakened Hearts Loving Our City”

As most of you know, we began a 40 day fast some time ago in preparation for our January launch. The beauty of this fast is that we have left it up to everyone to decide how they wanted to fast. This certainly has been of time of spiritual preparation along with all the other practical preparation we are in the process of as we approach January 10.

A few days ago I was made aware of another fast that will begin on January 10 that will include hundreds of churches all across the globe. The name of this fast is “Awakening” and it is simply a 21 day fast to seek God as we prepare to enter into, not just a new year, but a new decade! As I began to learn more about this event my heart was overwhelmed with excitement! I don’t believe this is a coincidence! I think this is an appointed time for the Church as a whole, but more specifically for us as we launch a brand new work in our city. Because I feel so strongly about this, in that I truly believe God is calling us at Awaken to this, I am challenging us ALL to participate as a church. I think God is setting us up to do more than we can even ask or imagine (Eph. 3:20). Right now, all over the globe, thousands are being swept into the Kingdom. For example, it is estimated that right now one million people come to Christ in just one week all over the world! I’m convinced more than ever that this church was God’s idea and over the past few months we have certainly seen the evidence of that! As we approach the new year I want to encourage you to begin to prepare yourself for this corporate fast as we look forward to all that God is getting ready to do. As you know Jesus himself set 40 days aside to pray and fast before he started his public ministry! As the Lead Pastor of Awaken City Church I don’t believe there is anything greater that we can do as God’s people to release all that He has for us, therefore I am calling all of you who call Awaken City home to participate in this great event! I will be sending out more info in the coming days and we will certainly be talking more about this in our Sunday morning gatherings in January, but I wanted to go ahead and let you know so we are all on the same page.
