After the end of the Summer Day Camp, we had 2 fasting prayer meetings on two Mondays from 11am – 4pm. Besides supporting God’s work all over the world through prayers, those on summer holidays and those who took time off work to attend the 5-hour fasting prayer meeting experienced how to draw near to God, wait on God and be drawn after God. Through the fasting, we understood how to lay aside our basic need (i.e., food) to discipline our spirit to focus on God and His will. We worshiped, prayed and even shared our experiences. Many brothers and sisters expressed that it was not difficult and felt even closer to the Lord and the church afterwards!
八月禁食祈禱會中的突破
暑期日營結束後，我們在連續兩個星期一，舉行了兩次禁食祈禱會。從早上十一時至下午四時，在五個小時的聚會中，一群放暑假或不用上班的弟兄姊妹，除了為神在世界各地的工作禱告外，更一同經歷怎樣親近神、等候神、被神吸引。透過禁食，我們學習放下自己基本的需要（如：食物），訓練自己心思專注在神和祂的心意上。我們一同敬拜、禱告，也分享大家的經歷。不少弟兄姊妹之後都覺得其實禁食並不是那麼困難，也感受與主和教會更近。
