After all of the excitement of setting up, our first official EFC Small Group meeting was held yesterday. It was a great time of fellowship before we knuckled down to business.
First on the agenda were some praise reports from the team members on what they have received from the Lord during their time of fasting. The team, together with many other Small Groups throughout the country, have answered a call to fast for 360 days. This would be exercised through a cycle of nine 40 day fasts. Starting from skipping one meal a day and continuing to a full three meal a day fast.
Next up was a discussion on what our group project would be. There was much talk but unfortunately due to the vast array of projects mentioned, consenus could not be reached. Each member has a heart for something but as a group we need to channel our focus into ONLY one for NOW. By the next meeting post we will have our project and will be posting progress...in Jesus Name... Amen!!
What could follow such a discussion but time alone with the Lord...prayer time!! Sister Piek See led us into the courts and then each of the members took turns to pour their hearts out to God. There were words of love, passion and comfort to name just a few. After an intense Spirit-filled prayer time, with words of encouragement and wisdom, Sister Piek See enlightened us of the days that are to come - 40 days liquid fast! She told us that these days are not going to be easy and will be filled with lots of temptations to quit and loose words especially among married couples that we should be steadfast and remember the bigger cause.
At the end of the meeting, people left with high spirits and renewed faith to face the upcoming challenge knowing that Jesus is their ROCK.
