January 14-February 3

2024 is shaping up to be a watershed year in the life of Providence Church. After years of dreaming, praying, and preparing, we’re only months away from breaking ground on the expansion of our home on Preston Road. But all of the efforts to build these facilities, expand our reach, launch more church plants, and send more missionaries are in vain if Jesus doesn’t go before us. We are dependent on his wisdom, provision, and blessing. “Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain” (Ps. 127:1).

As we enter into this crucial year, we invite you to join us for 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting. Beginning January 14, we’re setting aside this special season to confess our dependence on the Lord, ask for his guidance, and thank him for his blessing in this important endeavor.

How It Works

Beginning January 14, we’re praying together using a special guide that will be available in the Providence Church Mobile App. Each day, you’ll discover a Bible verse or passage to meditate on, an explanation of the daily focus, and prayer points to guide you throughout the day. Each daily prompt is designed to work alongside your normal quiet time and address a specific aspect of the Entrusted & Sent vision.

As you’re praying, we also encourage you to invite your Community Group, Huddle, or a group of friends within the church to join you. It’s also a great idea to fast in some way. You can fast by abstaining from a daily meal, social media, or anything that may be a distraction in this season. Here’s a look at our prayer schedule:
