Acts 13:3
So after they had fasted and prayed, they placed their hands on them and sent them off.
A comment about the text.
While fasting is not widely practiced in many churches today, it was a vital part of the early Christian church. Let's ensure that we prepare for significant events in ministry and mission to the world with prayer and fasting, whether sponsored by our congregations or not. As we prepare to embark on God's work in the world and our mission to the world, our preparation should include times of prayer and fasting. A mission without the Holy Spirit, prayer, and fasting is an undervalued mission and an underpowered effort.
