* We will teach about fasting at Oxygen leading up to the Famine. If you cannot/choose not to fast from
food, there are other ways to fast. Please do not fast from food if you have an eating disorder,
hypoglycemia, diabetes, or another health concern. God will lead you to other ways to fast for Him! Talk
to Logan or Lindsey if you have a concern.
