THE CALIFORNIA FAST
[September 1st – October 10th, 2021]
The original Jesus Movement began with a 40-Day fast in the wilderness by Jesus Christ. Immediately following his fast, he came out of the wilderness in power of the Holy Spirit. In the same way, we believe that this 40 Day California Fast could unleash a new era of salvation, healing, freedom, and awakening all over California!
Join the 40-day
fast and devotional.
