21 Days of Fasting



Join Pastor Brandon, CATF leaders and the LifeChurch.tv Network as we fast for 21 days. Let's seek God, humble ourselves before and ask his blessing on 2011. Put him First.

Why should I fast?

  • To hear God more clearly. God's voice will get stronger as I deny my own desires and say yes to him.
  • To more fully align my heart with God's plan for my life.
  • It humbles me as I realize how difficult it is for me to fast. I expose my weakness and my need of an all powerful God.
  • To grow spiritually, to seek God's healing for sinful habits.
What should I fast?
  • Whatever you sense God leading you to give up for the 21 days.
  • You could fast coffee, desserts, all meat, eat only vegetables, soft drinks, all alcohol, all TV, all social media, the internet (except for work purposes), you could fast all food and drink only juice and water. It's up to you to figure out what God is leading you to do.
What else should we do besides fast?
  • Pray for God to more fully work in your life, pray for healing physically, pray for release from sinful habits, pray for your family, for friends, for the salvation of people you know, for your church, for your pastor, for the needs of our community.
  • Read the Bible. http://www.youversion.com/reading-plans/21-day-fast
When do we fast?
  • Starting January 3rd for 21 days.
Who is fasting?
  • many from CATF
  • the LifeChurch.tv Network

Christmas Compassion

Christmas Compassion is beginning. We just loaded up one of our volunteers with diapers, wipes, newborn clothing to give to a young couple in the community. Praying God uses this gift to show his love to this family. Thanks CATF for giving. God will multiply this over and over.

On Friday afternoon we head to Greycliff Manor to bless 40 residents and then to the Rex Motel to give to another 10 people.

In addition we will sponsor a Compassion Child overseas.

What you keep is all you have, what you give God multiplies. Thanks for being part of this great micro-mission outreach to our community and our world. You are the best church in the world.

Hey CATF,

I am proud of the people that are part of CATF. I am proud that you are open to growing in your relationship with God. I know the last two weeks have been challenging talks (I have felt that personally). Even though they have been challenging, I keep hearing great feedback from so many about what God is doing in lives.
What is God asking you to do? Don't make excuses why you can't tithe and give, simply ask God what he wants you to do. Every single one of us has very unique dynamics in our lives that God is fully aware of and he wants to work through you regardless of the challenges you feel prohibit you from following him.

Here's the link to watch last Sunday's talk if you missed it or if you need to hear it again. Multiply week 2

If you haven't talked it over yet you can do that here, Multiply 2 Talk It Over.
