The beginning and the end of 21 day fast and pray.

It was indeed a very good and meaningful experience that I have ever had. Pastor has called out a 21 day fast and prayer from 13th Aug till 2nd Sept ’07. This is to prepare ourselves to the new place called the Dream Centre. It is located at Sect 13 now. You may see the pictures below to take a look at our new church. ;)

During this 21 day fast and pray, Pastor also encourage us to come for the morning prayer which starts from 5.30am to 7am everyday to pray together. Initially my sister and I were reluctant to go cuz it is too early, we don’t know whether we are able to wake up at this time. But we were encouraged by cell group members and so we start our journey.

The first day we went, my sis and I were thinking how would it be attending church at this early hour? Will there be many people turn up? But as soon as we reached church, we were astonished! The parking lot was full with cars and people were rushing in to the church. Wow, it’s so amazing and we felt so encouraging ever since that day. I’m so touched to see so many people, young and old, parents bringing their babies along and I even saw one disabled person coming with a wheelchair. They were all willing to sacrifice their sleeps and come to church to worship and pray to God. Praise the Lord!

My sister and I were so happy that we can be part of this family to do something for church and for God. During this 21 day fast and pray, we encountered hardship, problems and temptations but praise God that in the end, we see breakthroughs. We felt the hungriness and heat for God, looking forward to seek Him every morning. It’s just a good experience that we have ever had with God. A lot of my friends and family members said that we are silly waking up so early to go to church but they will not know what we have gain.
