Global Bridegroom Fast

Global Bridegroom Fast

“Can the friends of the bridegroom mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them . . . then they will fast.”

—Matthew 9:15

In January 2002, we began to call our friends from many different streams in the Body of Christ to join us in crying out to the Lord for revival, a great harvest of new souls, and to establish the first commandment in first place in the Body of Christ.

The Global Bridegroom Fast is a monthly, three-day “global solemn assembly” of believers unified by the Holy Spirit in worship, prayer, and fasting. Focused on and sustained by experiencing the love of Jesus as the Bridegroom God (Mt. 9:15), this fast is a worldwide concert of prayer when believers unite to seek the Lord’s face—at the same time, with the same burdens, and in the same Spirit.

“Then King David said, ‘I will surely buy it from you for a price; nor will I offer . . . to the Lord my God that which costs me nothing.'”

—2 Samuel 24:24

When Is the Global Bridegroom Fast?

The Global Bridegroom Fast is held the first Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of every month during the months of January to November, and the first Monday through Sunday of December, making a total of forty days of fasting each year.
