Lessons from Biblical Fasting
Taking part in a Biblical fast is something that to most, even in religious circles, is a strange thing to do. Prior to observing the Day of Atonement, it's important to understand the importance of fasting and the proper way to fast. Through proper fasting, we recognize more deeply our dependence on God, we seek to grow in humility, and we seek to draw closer to God. There is much for each of us to learn through fasting as we seek to follow the Biblical example.

Michael and Laura both grew up in the Church of God. They attended Ambassador University in Big Sandy for two years (1994-96) then returned home to complete their Bachelor's Degrees. Michael enjoys serving in the local congregations as well as with the pre-teen and teen camp programs. He also enjoys spending time with his family, gardening, and running.
