Welcome!
Every year NextGen would set-aside the last two week of February for our Annual Prayer
and Fasting. The purposes are two-fold. First, to spiritually prepare ourselves individually
as we begin the new year. It means spending special time with God to ask for His bless-
ings, wisdom and favor to be upon us, our loved ones and our daily endeavor. Secondly, to
pray as a body of Christ and lift up our church to God. It means spending special time pray-
ing for our pastors, our church leaders, the various ministries of NextGen, outreaches and
a host of others.
WHAT IS FASTING?
Fasting is a spiritual discipline that is taught in the Bible. Jesus expected His followers to
fast, and He said that God rewards fasting. Fasting, according to the Bible, means to volun-
tarily reduce or eliminate your intake of food for a specific time and purpose.
