We're calling NCC to Fast for Favor on Friday. Give up a meal. And pray for the favor of God as try to figure out our next location. For the record, everyplace we're considering would take a miracle!
The favor of God is God doing for you what you cannot do for yourself. And that's what it's going to take!
It was the favor of God that put NCC on the map. The Washington Post did a front page article, Sunday edition, on NCC. It took us five years to grow from 19 people to 250 people. After that article we doubled in a year. We had hundreds of people visit because of that article. And what I love about that is this: we cannot take credit for it. All of us are capable of bad press. But good press is the favor of God.
It is the favor of God that got us to where we are. And it is the favor of God that will get us where God wants us to go. So we're going to fast for favor!

We'll be praying for you, Mark that you get "favor...fast!"
I am glad to see corporate fasting. I am in the middle of doing a four week series on Fasting. (Week 1 - Fasting Why Should I do that? Week 2 -Fasting Prayerfully Considered. Week 3 - Fasting: A Corporate Call. Week 4 - Fasting: God's Perspecitive) I believe that God will honor His church when his people fast. Thanks for your leadership in fasting.
Mark, I'll join you in fasting and prayer. As we navigate our own risk/ faith- adventure, we stand with you in yours. Scary to the human eye, but just the front end of a miracle to God. If there is any way we can help but pray, let us know.
Mark: Can't wait to see what God will do. I am following your blog and will join you in prayer support over here in Arizona! Lori
We at Bethel Church in Grass Valley Ca. are praying for FAVOR for you and NCC.
I stand with you in prayer believing that Revelation 3: 7,8. God has an open door for you and HE will help you locate it.
