There are moments when God calls His people to step away from the noise and draw closer to Him.

Our 40-Day Fast is a sacred invitation to realign our hearts, renew our minds, and seek God with greater intentionality.

Fasting is not about restriction,  it’s about surrender.

It’s about creating space for deeper prayer, clearer direction, spiritual breakthrough, and renewed intimacy with Christ.

“Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.” – James 4:8
