Today is the first day of our (the Santa Cruz church plant +1) Daniel fast.
















We are taking the next 21 days to fast: meat, sugar, processed foods, caffeine (ouch), nicotine, alcohol, fried foods, and that’s right, burritos too!













We have also set up numerous prayer times for the fast, so that we stay focused on Him and not on what we are not eating: This Friday we will have a 24hr prayer time in which each of us (9 people) take shifts throughout the night praying (I drew 1am to 3:40am!?!!?); Sunday nights we will worship and pray together; each person will have a nation to pray for; and each member will share a prayer request for the group to pray for during the fast.
Too, we are praying for our trip to India. We go July 14-28 and are eager to see what God would have us do in this nation, both long and short-term. India has the greatest amount of unreached people groups (those who have never heard of Jesus!) on earth. God our Santa Cruz church wants to be a part of what you’re doing. What would you have us do?








We would love for you to join us; just a small buy-in cost: your life.

I'm concerned.

WTF?! said...

the only question I have is...

Like, duuude, where did Daniel get his Odwalla's and Cliff bars?

WTF?! said...

...and just what qualifies as 'processed' food anyway?

Cooked?

Mixed?

What would a (I'm in love with Jesus and want to follow the Spirit of God)vegan do?

WWAVD?

...protest wool clothing as exploitation of the economic assets of ovine persons!

...protest omlettes as an evil canniballistic-abortion practice!

...protest dairy production as slavery uniquely designed for the mass exploitation of the reproductive systems of female bovine persons!

...protest the outdoor housing of feline and canine persons as a cruel and unusual, double-standard treatment.

Thanks for the meatballs from your helping of spagetti.

Santa Cruz isn't the only place with space cadets! It just happens to be a little more acceptable to wear your space helmet in public there!

Are you in Santa Cruz now? We should grab coffee when you fast ends.
