A CALL TO FASTING AND PRAYER
Will you join us?
The UCS Staff will be fasting every Wednesday starting February 26 and ending on Wednesday,
April 8.
We desire to see the Lord move mightily at UCS! The Bible mentions in Matthew 17:21 that some things will not change except by prayer and fasting.
What is the favorite thing you could give up?
It could be a meal, coffee, soda, sweets, no food for a time period during the day, etc.
Below is a prayer agenda that will make our prayer times more meaningful and effective.
REPENT - Psalm 51 - Ask the Lord to wash us, cleanse us, and create in us a pure heart.
TRUE FAST - Isaiah 58 - Ask the Lord to help us to do what we need to do so this will be a fast that is acceptable to Him.
INTERCEDE - Praying for the needs of UCS, all families connected here, financial blessings, increase in favor, wisdom, unity among staff and families, enrollment, healing, peace, etc.
