Dear Friends,
Calling the church to fasting and prayer is a vow every Free Methodist elder takes at their ordination. We, your bishops, are calling all to a month of fasting and prayer that will begin on Tuesday, September 3. Here's all the information you need to know to connect with this united effort:
OUR THEME AND FOCUS
"Seeking Together" is our theme as we unite in seeking the face of God around four weekly themes: Turning to God/Repentance, Awaken Your Church, The Next Generation, and Leaders in the Church/Society. We highly encourage the participation of as many Free Methodists as possible to give your voice to prayer and join the chorus as we seek God together.
HOW IT WILL BE COMMUNICATED
Each day a video with Scripture, a devotional thought, and prayer will be presented from our Superintendents and other FM leaders. Included with their prayer will be prayer prompts for you to use to engage your own voice in added prayer. As you watch the video and pray, you will be joining others in our family who will be doing the same.

Questions? Email [email protected] and our communications team will do their best to provide you with answers.
May the Lord hear us as we storm the throne of grace with our requests for the Lord to visit us and ignite a Spirit-fueled movement "by calling on the God in whom we believe - the God who gives life to the dead and calls into being things that were not" (Romans 4:17).
We also pray that every local Free Methodist Church would be a House of Prayer for the Nations. Thanks for your participation.
Blessings to you,
Keith Cowart, Kaye Kolde, Kenny Martin
The Board of Bishops of the FMCUSA
