Fellowship Fast: A Call to Prayer and Fasting


Join Us for the Fellowship Fast

Join the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews (IFCJ) President and CEO Yael Eckstein and Chairman of the IFCJ U.S. Board Bishop Lanier for a day of prayer and fasting!

This year’s fasting and prayer event will take place on July 25th on Facebook.  Please join us to share your prayers, pray for others, and listen in on the encouraging words and sermons of our speakers throughout the day.

Together we can fast for a meal*, a day, or an activity in obedience to God, in hopes of “breaking” our fast with renewed clarity for His will for us all. Though we are apart in distance, our hearts are joined in faith. Follow along to our fasting and prayer journey live, here.

*The Fellowship Fast is a voluntary event. Though The Fellowship is inviting you to participate in a spiritual fast of a meal, fasting can never be forced or made compulsory. Please check with your healthcare provider before abstaining from food or drink for any length of time. Pregnant or nursing mothers, minors, and those with health conditions or concerns should not fast from food or drink. If you are not able or comfortable fasting a meal, The Fellowship encourages you to fast from an activity, like watching TV, movies, or other entertainment.
