Seven Day Fast

International House of Prayer, Kansas City, MO USA
On Monday we start a seven day fast. IHOP staff fasts the first Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of each month. In the month of December, the staff fasts for 7 days. This completes 40 days of fasting for the year.
Hatcher is fasting meat, Reid and Harrison are fasting everything but fruit for lunch each day. I am fasting all food. As a family we have agreed to fast for God to prepare our hearts for our travel time on the mission trip. Harrison and Reid praising the Lord in the Malachi 4:6 prayer room. Reid is playing the bongo drums.
My prayer is (and has been) that God would give us servant’s hearts. God continues to work in us to change and mold us. He is drawing us closer to Him. We are blessed.

My new friend, Jordan and his step mom, Megan. I met them in the airport waiting for a delayed plane. I told Jordan I was going to pray for him and asked what he wanted me to pray for. Without hesitation he answered, “You and your 3 boys.” I was touched by his generous heart. Please pray for him and his family.

Dorota, Ewa and friend - all part of the Polish church leaders who visited IHOP. Far right my mom, Gloria White and aunt, Dorcas Holman helping serve the group Sunday lunch. Please pray for Poland and for God to pour out His spirit there.
Two chapters of scripture God continues to lay on my heart to study.
2 Peter 3 which reminds me that Jesus is returning soon and I am called to live a life that welcomes His return. This scripture grips my heart to tell others about the goodness of God for sending His son.
Zechariah 4 is also prophetic about the second coming and rich in symbolism. This chapter has many correlations with the book of Revelations. I encourage you to read these two chapters.
