Reminder: "So we fasted and implored our God …"

"So we fasted and implored our God …"

We will be live this afternoon!

Dear ###USER_name###,

we would like to remind you that our online seminar on the topic “'So we fasted and implored our God …' (Ezra 8,23). Is there something like spiritual discipline? Is fasting a helpful element of being a Christian?" is taking place today at 4pm (South Africa) or 3pm (Germany).

„Starving our bodies from God-given food – how is that helpful??” „You should try it, it is a wonderful tool to help cleanse and then focus my body and mind on God’s presence!”

These might be some of the diverse reactions to the topic of fasting as part of Christian spiritual life. We would love to share insights with you and hear from your experiences or thoughts on the matter – from our lived reality in South Africa and Germany.

Join us for a Zoom meeting starting promptly at 4pm South Africa Time (3pm German Time) this Saturday 14 February 2026.

This online seminar will be held in English only.
