Fasting

We believe that God works miracles today by the power of the Holy Spirit to bless people and advance his kingdom. We’re believing God for miracles that will testify to his power and create new opportunities for the gospel to advance. Our devotional material focuses on miracles from the book of Acts, where we see God showing his love for people, resulting in the kingdom of God advancing.

Let us know God by praying through His attributes.
