FASTING: Share your journey

Please give us your feedback as to what God is doing in your life through the spiritual discipline of fasting. For more information on the practical aspects of fasting, go to the Campus Crusade web site. Pastor Brent and I would love to hear the experiences you are having, struggles as well as successes, as you take the challenge to fast and pray. Just click on the highlighted comments button to do so.

The greatest thing I noticed last week as I fasted in preparation for my message was how much my desire for God and spiritual hunger increased. The most helpful thing was not the fasting of food, but the fasting of media and the news. Leaving some open space in my schedule instead of filling it with noise and media, allowed me the margin to experience God more deeply and to sense his direction more clearly. I am praying for those of you who are fasting with me this week.

Report from Kenya

Our team in Kenya, Africa is doing some amazing ministry. I would encourage you to read some of the incredible reports from Camille McInerny, one of our young adults on the team. They finally got the last of their luggage this past Tuesday, ten days after they left. They were so pumped about their ministry there that it didn’t seem to faze them in the least.

From their latest report, “a grand total of 2093 adults and children were seen in medical, dental and ophthalmology clinics!!! It is a wonderful number, and especially considering that most of those can’t afford to go to get medical treatment, or to have a dental check-up, and for some it will be the first time they have been able to see things clearly as they got necessary eye-glasses which were previously unaffordable. What a privilege to be able to serve these people, and to be part of God’s healing touch! We don’t have exact numbers of people that have come to accept Christ as their Lord and Saviour, but the estimate, including the men’s prison ministry, is between 650 – 800: alleluia for them also!” Share your thoughts about what is happening with our missions outreach by clicking on the comments button below.
