This summer marks the 40th anniversary of the Summer of Love--a season in 1967 where 100,000 flooded San Francisco to experience the hippie movement, marked by drugs, casual sex, perversion, mysticism and rebellion against God and authority. Despite the outflow of creativity during this time, the purity and beauty of real love was tainted.
It's time we sought real love, wrought with compassion, worship and sacrifice. Through our rich histories, many have fasted and it brought new beginnings. It may have taken 40 years to get us where we are today, but may we seek God for 40 days to seek a new kind of authentic love. It is time to pray. It is time to fast. Starving our hunger, yes. But taking it farther. Starving our apathy. Our technology. Our consumption. Our greed. Our senses. This is a call to 40 days of starvation.
Let's have a Summer of Love in seeking the face of the one who loves us by starving our life so we can find real love and life again. Join us with Fast and Pray as we call for 40 Days of holistic fasting from Monday, May 28th to Saturday, July 7. Following Isaiah 58 and Joel 2, this is a call to starve ourselves so that we might see a new Spirit of Love on the face of the earth.
We are looking for fellow comrades to starve different areas of their life
(take your pick or do them all):
- Their Hunger
- Their Apathy
- Their Technology
- Their Consumption
- Their Greed
- Their Senses
