My church community fasts during Lent each year. For the past few years, we’ve partnered with the Blood:Water Mission in a water fast to support the building of wells in Sub-Saharan Africa. This is a short clip from a sermon I did recently about the redemptive nature of our Lenten fast, particularly as it pertains to the work of the Blood:Water Mission.
We fast and say “I know you suffer and in whatever way I can, I will bear your suffering with you” … and the world says that you live on the other side of the planet and what happens to you doesn’t matter to me but I am going to choose to say that what happens in your life affects me.”

I recently got angry with my wife because she didn’t get me Welch’s grapejuice when she went to the store. I felt a little ridiculous then… even more ridiculous after reading this.
Thanks for posting this Justin. Hope to see you in Ohio sometime…
