21 DAYS
of PRAYER AND FASTING
We are joining with our wider movement and family of Churches, the Australian Christian Churches for a 21 Day National Prayer and Fasting Initiative.
Over the 21 days, we will focus on Local, National and Personal matters. It also includes our support for the National Day of Prayer & Fasting on 10th February 2018.
We encourage all individuals, families and lifecoms to participate over this 21 day period. There is a prayer journey in terms of focus we will be taking as listed below.
