14 DAYS OF PRAYER AND FASTING
January 5-19, 2025
"I am creating something new. There it is! Do you see it? I have put roads in deserts, streams in thirsty lands." Isaiah 43:19
Hey, Calvary Family! We are so excited to start our 14-day journey of prayer and fasting on January 5! What a wonderful way to start off a new year! We received so many powerful testimonies of how God moved during our last series of praying and fasting together corporately and are expecting great things to take place again. We are believing God for personal and corporate breakthrough during this time, and would love for you to join us! Don’t ignore that call you feel in your heart to step out in faith and try something new. Nothing is too hard for God! We encourage you to get involved in whatever ways big and small that you can!

Scripture – “Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. He was priest of God Most High, and he blessed Abram, saying, ‘Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth.

DAY 4 – January 8
Theme - Missionally Driven
Prayer Focus - That God would move on people's hearts at Calvary to go out into the community, visit the sick, visit those in prison, those that are the least of these. We pray that our hearts desire to know Jesus by knowing the people that are hungry, thirsty, and strangers. Pray that we would be people of strategy and serve the Lord’s heart where it is needed in our region.
Scripture – “When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, He will sit on his glorious throne. All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on His right and the goats on His left. ‘Then the King will say to those on his right, “Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.”
‘Then the righteous will answer him, “Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give You something to drink? When did we see You a stranger and invite You in, or needing clothes and clothe You? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit You?”
‘The King will reply, “Truly I tell you, whatever You did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, You did for me.”
‘Then He will say to those on his left, “Depart from Me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave Me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe Me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after Me.” ‘They also will answer, “Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help You?”
‘He will reply, “Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for Me.” ‘Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.’”
Matthew 25:31-46

We pray the truth is revealed how this destroys children's lives.
