The spiritual disciplines of fasting and prayer have long been practiced by God’s people when they were longing for God’s intervention in a broken world. In times of desperation and confusion, fasting has been a way to draw near to God and express our dependence on Him.

On August 11, Hope College faculty and staff, along with Western Seminary and local churches, will do the same: ask for God's intervention in the chaos and uncertainty of our present circumstances. We invite you to join together in a day of fasting and prayer to seek wisdom for the Fall and protection against COVID-19.
