FIRST FRIDAY FASTING + PRAYER 2026

Join us on the 1st Friday of each month as we pray and fast, taking our prompts from the book “Forests in the Seed.” It is written about prayer and kingdom movements where the gospel spreads rapidly through multiplying disciples and churches in challenging parts of the world. Real stories that show how Ordinary People, empowered by the Holy Spirit, use biblical principles and practical action for Global evangelism. We believe Jesus changes everything! Pray and fast, however God is leading you- whether partial, full, or a particular item.


May 2026


Luke 10:5-7 “When you enter a house, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’ If someone who promotes peace is there, your peace will rest on them; if not, it will return to you. Stay there, eating and drinking whatever they give you, for the worker deserves his wages. Do not move around from house to house."

Pray for persons of peace, as a bridge to the Gospel, to be discovered in workplaces, schools, and homes in our communities here and around the world.
