5th Anniversary iask Tea 2009
iask Sister Buddy Groups
21 Day Fast for Renewal & Rejuvenation
Jan 1, 2010 Sun-up-Jan 21, 2010 Sundown
(If you cannot start on 1/1 start on 1/4)
1. Again, this year the buddy group sister Fast will be in the form of a “Daniel Fast” which is a partial fast. During the consecration members will be asked to abstain from certain foods each week during the month.
2. Members are asked to get up one half hour early each morning for prayer, bible reading and meditation. For example, if you typically get up at 6:30 a.m., you are asked to rise at 6:00 a.m. for devotional time. This is important as it will set your mind and spirit for the day ahead. You should also get to be no later than 11PM daily to rest your body-sleep is a natural healer and critical for hormone production in women’s bodies.
3. Some members fast regularly as a spiritual discipline. If your fasting routine is more rigorous than what has been set forth for our consecration, please feel free to do more than has been requested. I only ask that people not do less.

What to Read & Write during this Time
The following is a suggested reading list for each morning’s devotion. If you already have a devotional regiment that you follow, I am going to ask that you suspend that regiment for the month of January so that we are all reading the same thing. However, feel free to do more. You should be praying alone or with an accountability partner no less than 2-3 times per day. Early AM, Mid Afternoon-Evening.
