At Redeemer we seek to be faithful disciples of Jesus, and believe that establishing a discipline of regular fasting is part of following him. We also believe that fasting and praying for specific events or situations in our life can build our faith, and lead to breakthrough for us and those around us.
Below is a short paper put together by our eldership team which we hope clarifies why we believe fasting to be so important, and encourages you to begin to, or continue to establish it as part of your walk with Jesus.
