Days 9 - 14 Isaiah 61 Fast

I apologize for not updating those of you who are following what God is doing during the Isaiah 61 Fast. I got swamped with responsibilities last week and didn’t have the energy to keep posting, but I am back in action! I am hoping to keep daily updates coming this week.

We continue to gather a daily core of 10-12 people each day. We really appreciate those who have come to visit us for a morning. It is very encouraging. In line with Isaiah 58, God has mobilized some of us into action. Dave Csinsi is heading up teams of people to go out to befriend and pray for the homeless on Saturdays. They went out for the first time yesterday and were able to minister to a few people. One of whom wants Dave to come visit his shelter. In addition, this week Fenway Church is kicking off three Alphas (Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights). Alpha is a ten week introduction to Christianity by addressing important questions and discussing them in an open forum. Last year, several people come to Christ through it. We are already expecting several seekers at each gathering.

A few of the themes that continue to emerge in prayer:

1) Those who hunger and thirst for righteousness will be filled. God is looking for a people who will “press in to know him.” We are seeking the face of God and expecting to meet with him and be filled with the power of the Holy Spirit.

2) Isaiah 35:3-4 Two keys to seeing an outbreak of signs and wonders that marked Jesus’ ministry are proclamation of the good news (“Do not fear, God will come to save you”) and the formation of a great community that “strengthens the weak” and “encourages the fearful.”

3) A growing belief that it is Boston’s time for revival. We believe we are partnering with God’s plan for Boston. May his kingdom come and will be done!
