Fasting Update - WOW, WOW!

The 21 Day Fast is just a week underway and NUMEROUS people are growing in their faith. Here is the rundown!

Approximately 450 people are involved in some fasting endeavor.

20 people are doing the full-on 21 Day Daniel Fast. Most are fasting from all meat, bread, sweets (including coffee, caffeine, soda, etc) and anything else that most of us find enjoyable to consume. :)

115 people chose at least one full day to fast completely from everything but water (including 2 children). This number also includes a few duplicates as some are fasting more than one day. Regardless, this should produce some amazing results over the next three weeks as most every day has at least four or five people fasting for themselves to get closer to God, for Impact, and for unchurched people to get saved at our Easter Series, "It's Personal".

An additional 334 people are fasting from various things for various time periods over the next 21 days. This includes 92 children who are fasting for 21 days from 'something.' It could be sweets, 'fast food,' video games, technology, etc. Some adults are fasting for 21 days in several areas of their life as well. For instance, my kids are fasting from desert for 21 days - WOW! And my daughter is fasting from sweets as well (with just one slip-up so far with her grandparents... it's hard to say 'no' to root beer floats).

The point is, some 450 people are growing in their faith, stretching their comfort level, going deeper, and prayingfor our church and its ministry to the unchurched. (This even includes about a dozen prison inmates from Folsom who are joining us in the fast.)

May the fires of evangelism remain WHITE HOT at Impact. May YOU continue to reach OUT as people are more receptive than ever to a word about God! These are amazing times we're living in... be a part of it!
