- New Faith

As believers
in Jesus Christ…
We fast to release supernatural breakthroughs and
generational blessings; and to break strongholds and
destroy generational curses. We fast to restore and
rededicate our lives to the One who gave His life
for us. Fasting is a voluntary abstinence from food
or things that give you pleasure. It is a practice of
physical self denial for spiritual strength.
Matthew 17:20 -21, Jesus said, “I tell you the
truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed,
you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to
there’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible
for you. Mark 9:29. But this kind does not go out
except by prayer and fasting.”
On February 10, we will commit to a fast
to answer the call of God to walk in obedience to
Him in 2016. It is God’s Will that we experience
an abundance of blessings, power, healing and
provision in every aspect of our lives. The things
God call us to can only be achieved through a life
consecrated (dedicated wholeheartedly) unto the
Lord. We must seek Him. “O God, you are my God,
earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, in a
dry and weary land where there is no water.”(Psalm
63:1 NIV) He promises to fill us. “Blessed are those
who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they
will be filled. (Matthew 5:6 NIV) Thus, as a body
of believers in Christ Jesus at New Faith Baptist
Church International we are committing to a
47-day fast.
VISION
To be a people of faith
who seek the heart of God through
worshipping, witnessing and
sharing the love of Christ (God’s Son)
with the world.
MISSION
Living the faith through worship, witness
and wondrous works.

We will eliminate all sodas/alcohol/dairy
caffeinated coffees and teas for the entire fast.
Drink as much natural juices, smoothies
and water as necessary.
Eat as much fruit, nuts and vegetables
as your body requires.
Strive to eat 3 meals with 2-3 snacks in line with the
fast throughout the day. Grab a hand full of nuts
or take several pieces of diced/cut up fruit with you
in a plastic bag for easy access.

Only on ½-Day Saturdays and Sundays will we add
poultry/fish, and on Sundays, we add dessert to our meals.
Do not eat any red meat, and do not drink caffeinated
beverages, sodas or alcohol.
Our financial fasting
will also begin on February 10 and end on March 27—
no fun or luxury shopping (in store or on-line), no use of
credit cards and reduced dining out.
During this season of fasting, commit weekly to a lifestyle of
stewardship. Biblical giving is tithing in addition to an offering.
To continue our assignment to improve the quality of living and
answer the cry of the needs of people living in poverty all over the
world, we must commit to faithful worship through giving.
Our goal is to become a 100% tithing church,
so that we may continue to do God’s work through
missions, evangelism and outreach.
On Resurrection Weekend, we will sow our tithe,
first fruit offering and sacrificial missions offering out of reverence to
God for all that He has done and will do in our lives. It pleases God
when we love and serve Him and one another through giving.
*Please consult your doctor before starting this fast.
Please fast according to your medication guidelines.
