21 Days of Prayer and Fasting
As we corporately seek the Lord with prayer and fasting, our theme this year is “Ready.” We are trusting God to move in a mighty way and we simply want to be ready. Just as planting a garden takes preparing the soil, we plan to use these weeks ahead in prayer and fasting to prepare our hearts for what God has for our lives, our families, and for Riverbend Church this year.
We believe these three weeks of consecration and reflection will radically change us forever and prepare us to partner with the Spirit of God for a global awakening! We are making every possible resource available to support you during this season of prayer and fasting. Please access the following and even more on our resource page.
