This week the students were encouraged to fast. After discussing it between themselves, a four day fast was decided upon. It was left to each individual as to just how they would fast, with yoghurt, milk, and fruit juices permitted should they so desire. Each day they were given the choice of breaking their fast, but nobody wanted to do so until their four days were up.
Praying to end the fast.
Today, their four days were up and it was time to break their fast. So at 5pm we had break-fast with the students. For many of them it was a significant time where God had spoken clearly into their lives, producing some deep changes in them.
Some staff also chose to fast during this time alongside the students. I did so for the first two days, but the heavy physical demands of building the bathroom required that I eat so the work could continue.
Allowed to eat again. Break-fast at 5pm.
