What is this all about?

Our second annual day of fasting for provision. Last year we had this epiphany... that our primary task in fundraising was to ask our Father to miraculously provide for those in need. So we decided to set aside a day in our calendar and do just that. For a whole day, we fasted and prayed, asking God to use us to supply for those in need around the world.

At the end of the year, when we counted all our pennies, nearly $45,000 had come through our little church. It was a miracle!

This year, we're going to ask God to provide again. The amount will be in his control, but the seeking will be in ours.

What's with the Strawberries?

In last years Lent meditations, Sig told a very personal story about his families past struggles with money. The story was about how God miraculously provided for them, and one of the signs of his provision came through the gift of strawberries to Ruth. Since then, every time they have needed something for themselves or another, they simply look at each other and recall: "Strawberries".

A number of people were touched by the story... and so we decided to incorporate the idea into our first fast.

The Plan

On June 29th, we're going to spend the day eating strawberries. Breakfast, lunch, dinner we're going to have strawberries (be sure to buy some in the days prior). If you choose to fast and only eat strawberries on the day - even better. But here is the key, every time you eat a berry, ask God to miraculously provide, through our churches, for people in need.

At the end of the day, we're going to break the fast with a big strawberry shortcake feast in the Lambkin's backyard.

It's going to be an amazing day!
