Each year during the season of Lent, Kimball Avenue Church in Chicago and Faith E. C. Church in Lancaster, PA, embark on a corporate fast to fulfill God’s intent for true fasting (Isaiah 58:5-7). This year, we are hoping additional churches and individuals will join us as we fast to share our food with the hungry by limiting our food budget during the six weeks of Lent.
Starting on Ash Wednesday, February 13, we invite you to join scores of believers through the US and beyond in our “Fast For Feasting”. Our goal is to learn God’s heart for those who are hungry, learn about why so many are hungry despite the abundance of food, free up resources to feed people and advocate for fair food policies. Each day through Easter, we will post a Scripture related to food on this site for you to reflect upon. We will also post links to resources related to food policies, food justice and organizations that are working to ensure fair food distribution. We also invite you to post your thoughts and reflections to encourage others who are participating in the Compact.
