Starting Sunday, January 10, SouthField will engage in Twenty-One Days of Fasting and Prayer. Like a great meal, a great season of fasting and prayer requires forethought and preparation.
We are playing off the acronym introduced by leadership expert Jim Collins year ago. He advised organizations to move beyond safe, comfortable goals and form some BHAGs:
BIG, HAIRY, AUDACIOUS GOALS
Following his lead we are going to engage in BHAPs:
BOLD, HUMBLE, AUDACIOUS PRAYERS
Last fall we studied the life of Joshua, a man who was commanded to be bold and courageous. It is time to put our learning to action and pray bold and courageous prayers.
To prepare, ponder these four questions:
What audacious prayers will I pray?
Who might I join in praying these prayers?
What will I give over to God for a fast?
How will it work practically over the twenty-one days?
