Prayer and Fasting

Our Church's Prayer & Fasting Rhythms

Twice a year, we set aside 21 days to intentionally seek God in prayer and fasting and believe for Him to move in a powerful way.
We feel the heart of our fast in this season should be about alignment, consecration, and obedience; asking God to release us into his purpose for 2026.

“Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.” 
-Ps 127:1

When and Where

October 4th-24th

Join us as we intentionally seek God in prayer and fasting and belief for Him to move in powerful ways.

Equip. Encourage. Engage. Extend.

This October, AppChurch will again enter 21 days of prayer and fasting with a simple Kingdom focus:
Equip, Encourage, Engage, Extend.

Rooted in our mission to make disciples who love God and love people, we are asking the Lord to align our hearts, consecrate our lives, and release us in obedience to His purposes. We are praying to Equip believers for spiritual maturity and leadership… Encourage weary hearts with healing and hope… Engage our community with bold Gospel witness… and Extend Christ’s compassion across Ashe County and across Appalachia. Our petition to the Lord for 2026 is laser-focused—50 baptisms and 10 people sent into mission as phase one toward our 10-year vision of 500 baptisms and 70 sent ones by 2036.

We are seeking His provision, His power, and His presence—because, “Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain” (Psalm 127:1).

What is Fasting?

Fasting means voluntarily abstaining from food and sometimes other comforts for a spiritual purpose, like drawing closer to God and seeking His guidance.
