Good Friday is going to be an amazing time of unity as we seek God and align our hearts with his during Converge\u2019s movement-wide National Day of Prayer & Fasting. This is an opportunity for you and your church to come together with Converge churches across the country and missionaries from around the world. Now, more than any time in our generation, uniting in spirit and being intent on one purpose is crucial for our movement and all of God\u2019s people.<\/p>\n

A Day of Fasting<\/h2>\n

Together, we will enter into a time of fasting from sunrise to sundown, giving up the meals we usually consume and replace our physical hunger with spiritual hunger. We\u2019ll reach out to God for divine intervention and prepare for this next season.<\/p>\n

Online Prayer Gathering<\/h2>\n

The Converge national office will provide a \u202flive, online \u202fguided prayer time \u202fat 9 a.m. in each time zone in the continental United States. In addition, there will be another prayer time later in the day for those in Hawaii and Alaska.\u202f\u00a0That means we will have gatherings starting at 9 a.m., 10 a.m., 11 a.m. and 12 p.m. EST, as well as at 3 p.m. EST (9 a.m. Hawaii\/11 a.m. Alaska). \u202fDuring this 45 minute time of seeking God, we\u2019ll align our hearts with his and pray on behalf of our world, as well as for our national, state and community leaders.<\/p>\n
