SUBMERGE TO EMERGE

21 Days of Prayer + Fasting

January 5th – January 25th 
The Vision

Submerge to Emerge is a 21-day journey of intentional prayer and fasting. It is designed to cultivate spiritual growth and maturity – being forever changed from the inside out – through surrendering your life to the process, saturating yourself in the presence and Word of God, and having your transformation permanently sealed by the Holy Spirit.

Whether you are new to fasting or experienced, you are invited to participate at a pace that honors both faith and wisdom. This journey is not about comparison, performance, or restriction. It is about being willing and obedient to trust God’s process.

John 3:30

He must increase, but I must decrease. 

Galatians 3:27

For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

2 Corinthians 3:18

But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
