Good morning fellow fasters! Welcome to the August 2014 Fasting Group. For many of you this is your first time participating in a fast through this ministry. Perhaps this is your first time fasting period! To give you some background, R.H.S. Ministries has been conducting fasting groups since 2009. When the ministry began it was localized and primarily consisted of small groups of approximately 10-15 people during each fasting season. Since then God has blessed the ministry to expand with an emphasis on global outreach to invite individuals to take hold of one of the Christian's most essential weapons of warfare: fasting.
Due to the tremendous growth in participation over the years, the format has evolved to be able to equip people not only to fast individually, but also to lead out in small groups of their own. Nonetheless, we are all fasting as one group, remotely. People have asked, "Where is the fast taking place?" The answer is, wherever you are :-) With R.H.S. Ministries primarily taking on the role of fostering distribution and communications amongst all group members, you are pretty much responsible for your own fasts. However, R.H.S. Ministries is not here to leave you high and dry but to offer guidance and support at all times. So please don't hesitate to contact us at rhsministry@gmail.com or through this message board if you have any private comments, questions or concerns.
And so, may the online discussions begin! As you will notice, there are entries posted on this board from previous fasting groups. And you are free to comment on any topic, whether new or old. Nevertheless, it would be best if our posts were strictly related to fasting and what we experience during this particular week. Posts may consist of general comments, questions, testimonies, and prayer requests. Still, I encourage everyone to keep the messages clean, courteous and considerate. Please be mindful! Should a heavy discussion or debate arise, let us remember to share our thoughts with love and kindness. As you know, each day we have scripture readings. Please feel free to share what you have learned regarding these readings and how they apply to your lives.
Well family, that is all for the moment. "Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen!" (Jude 24-25)
May God bless you and keep you throughout the week!!
