FASTING INSTRUCTIONS FORCHILDREN AND YOUTHGod gives us pastors according to His heart who will feed us with knowledge and understanding (Jeremiah 3:15). We must obey our pastors for they watch over our souls (Hebrews 13:17).Parents should teach and guide by their example the importance of following the leadership of our pastors. When Pastor Caldwell proclaims the fast, children and youth are capable of obeying and participating.Parents, please prayerfully consider including your children and youth in the Church Family Spiritual Fast. It will be a blessed experience for them and it will begin to lay a foundation for their future. Your support and encouragement are recommended to maximize your child’s success.What is a Fast?The Hebrew word for fasting means “to cover the mouth.” Fasting has been a part of Christianity through the ages. It is a form of spiritual and scriptural sacrifice. Fasting does not change or impress God.Fasting changes us. Through fasting, Christians are empowered to discipline their daily relationship with the Lord.Why Should Children and Youth Fast?To have a closer relationship with God our Father and Jesus Christ; To become more sensitive and responsive to the Holy Spirit;To present the opportunity for you to spend more time waiting on the Lord; and,To build your prayer life.As children and youth fast, they, too, will receive the benefits and blessings of obedience and fasting.How to FastEat breakfast, lunch, and dinner.Eat healthy vegetables, fruits, meats, breads, milk, and cereal. Eat a healthy snack betweenmeals such as fruit, vegetables, etc. Drink WATER, 100% JUICE, and MILK as the only beverages.NO SWEETS, PIZZA, FRENCH FRIES, CHIPS, CANDY, CHEWING GUM, SOFT DRINKS,OR ANY OTHER JUNK FOODS!IV. What Are We Praying About During the Fast?Please help your child (ren) pray each prayer on the appropriate day as designated by the Prayer TopicCalendar.5

The Three Hebrew Boys and The Fiery FurnaceDaniel Chapters 1 and 3Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were four Hebrew boys who lived in Babylon.These four boys loved God. They worshipped and obeyed the only true and living God. Daniel 1:17 tells us that because they obeyed God, He gave them knowledge, skill and wisdom. God blessed them to be very smart and to make very wise decisions.The king of Babylon was Nebuchadnezzar. King Nebuchadnezzer made a golden statue as an idol god and he decreed to the people of Babylon, “When the music plays, you must bow down and worship this gold statue.” One day the music played and Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego refused to bow down and worship the gold statue. The king became angry. He was so angry that he ordered his men to throw the three Hebrew boys into a hot furnace.Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego trusted God to take care of them in the fiery furnace. Even though the fire in the furnace was very hot, God did not allow the fire to hurt them. When King Nebuchadnezzer saw how God took care of them, he made a decree and said that there is no other God like their God. Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were faithful to obey God and God was faithful to His promise to take care of them.As you prepare for the new school year, this story will help you to remember, that as you prayand study, trust God to give you wisdom, knowledge, and understanding in all of your classes. Also, when you maintain a life of integrity (honesty) and good character (responsible), expect God’s best for your life.25
