Isaiah 58 is where reaching out gets real; where simple actions can translate directly into feeding hungry people. It’s the most basic, tangible way of showing the love of Christ: providing for physical needs, with no catches, stipulations, or tricks.
The main source of funding for Isaiah 58 is the Fast Food Force. One truckload of food costs about $2,000 and will help feed 800 families. To be part of the Fast Food Force, all you have to do is pray, fast, and give.
The Fast Food Force begins its mission by joining in corporate prayer on Wednesday nights. Then we fast one meal per week. You can do it at any time; many of us skip dinner the night that we pray. Then we take the money that we would have spent on that meal and give it to Fast Food. It’s only about five or ten dollars, but when we all do it, it adds up to feed thousands.
Isaiah 58 tells the rewards that come with this kind of fast:
Then your light will break forth like the dawn,
and your healing will quickly appear;
then your righteousness will go before you,
and the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard.
Then you will call, and the LORD will answer;
you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I.
