The Board of Trustees (BOT) of the Achievers’ Crew has also extended greetings to Christian members of the group on the occasion of the commencement of 40 days of fasting and prayers.
Christians globally are observing Ash Wednesday today, which signals the commencement of (LENT) fasting.
The BOT of the crew extends its love and solidarity in a statement today.
Incidentally, the Muslim faithful are also starting the Ramadan fasting today.
”Today, as the ash touches the forehead, it draws a sacred symbol in the shape of a cross, a humble reminder of where we come from and a hopeful glance at where we are going.
”To our Christian members of this crew observing Ash Wednesday, the BOT Achievers Crew extends a hand of love, respect, and solidarity.
”As you embark on this 40-day journey of prayer, fasting, and reflection, know that you are not alone. This season is a beautiful invitation to slow down, to look inward, and to make space for God to move in your life. It is a time to trade noise for stillness, distraction for devotion, and mere existence for purposeful living.”
Achievers’ BOT urged its Christian members to be of strong faith and believe in God.
”Fasting is not just about letting go of food; it is about holding tighter to faith. It is in the quiet emptying of ourselves that we make room for Him to fill us.
”The Scripture reminds us of the power of this sacred practice: “But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, so that it will not be obvious to others that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you (Matthew 6:17-18)”
”And in moments of weakness along the way, hold onto this promise: “But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint (Isaiah 40:31).”
“May these 40 days be a sweet surrender. May your prayers rise like incense, and may your fasting draw you closer to the heart of the Father. May you emerge from this season renewed, refreshed, and ready to walk boldly in His purpose for your life.
”We are cheering you on every step of the way.”
