A shared fast your whole church can see

People choose the days they can manage

Not everyone can fast for 21 days, but most people can commit to one or two. Fasting events open all-day commitments, so each person picks the days that fit their life and health, and together the church covers the whole fast. Any number of people can share a day.

See every day of the fast covered

Coverage shows how many fasting days are taken and how many are still open, so you know which days to mention on Sunday instead of guessing from a spreadsheet.

A reminder before their day

Email reminders on any device, with a lead time people choose. The default arrives the evening before. The Android app also sends a notification 15 minutes before.

Set up your church fast in three steps

  1. Step 1

    Create a fasting event

    Choose Fasting, name your fast, and pick the start and end dates. Each day becomes an all-day fasting commitment people can choose. A 40-day range produces 40 days.

  2. Step 2

    Share one link or QR code

    Use it in your announcements, newsletter, website or social media. People join your church as they sign in, then tap Choose a fasting day.

  3. Step 3

    Watch the days fill

    See which days are covered and which still need someone, and pray together through the fast.
