Don’t Be Afraid…
Greetings, friends! Beginning this Sunday, October 4th, our church will join together in a 40-day period of prayer and fasting in order to seek God’s favor, healing, provision, and direction. We have had a great response to the online signups to participate, but there are still many of you that have not done so yet. I know that the thought of fasting may strike a chord of fear in many, but I want to put your minds at ease…this should not be scary! Your commitment to participate does not mean that you must not take another bite of food for the next 40 days (although some may choose to do just that!). You get to choose what your fast looks like for you by prayerfully considering this commitment. Some may fast from social media or TV, some from sweets, some from alcohol, some from food…some may choose to fast one day per week, some may decide to fast daily…fasting can take many different forms. Once you have discerned what is right for you, click on the link below to sign up for a daily email with a prayer devotional to get you started each day of the fast. The signup only takes seconds (just name, email address and your community are required…we don’t ask what you plan to do for your fast…that is between you and God!) This is going to be an amazing time in the life of our church and I know that God will honor it. Please commit to fast with us here.
Also during this time of prayer and fasting, ACF will be holding weekly prayer meetings in each community from Oct 3 to Nov 22. These promise to be sweet times of prayer with your friends and neighbors. I hope that you can make arrangements to attend in your community (or in other communities, if you can!). Below are the times and addresses for each community:
Round Rock will be Mondays from 6-7 AM

What does God want to do in me (and my extended family)?
What does God want to do in my neighborhood?
What does God want to do in my ACF community?
What does God want to do in Austin?
