New Hope Manoa

21 Days of Prayer & Fasting
2026-01-11 - 2026-01-31
Let’s start off 2026 united in fasting and prayer. Please carefully and prayerfully read through our Prayer and Fasting Guide. Join us beginning Sunday, January 11th.
All believers are invited to join us whether they attend another church, our church, or no church. Small groups, families, youth, keiki, kūpuna—everyone can participate in some way.
You pray. You choose the amount of days you’d like to fast. You don’t need to feel obligated to fast the entire 21 days. Maybe you’d like to fast one or two days each week? Also, you pray and you choose what you’d like to fast and how often.
There are no rigid rules. No obligation. No pressure to perform. Just a willing heart to pursue God!
Our BIG DESIRE is for the family of God to draw closer to and grow mānoa (deep, vast, solid) in their relationship with God, one another, and our world! May we surrender our hearts and lives to Him, hear His voice, and be transformed in obedience to Him.
