RULES FOR WEEKEND FAST CAMP

1.All campers MUST attend the pre-fast briefing and register. This briefing is held on the Saturday before the camp weekend at 10:00 am, especially if you are attending camp for the first time.

2.It is important that you follow the Detoxification Diet Sheet to prepare your stomach for the period of fasting. This also helps to alleviate illness during the camp. As you reducethe quantity of your meal, increase you intake of water. Drinking lots of water helps to flush the toxins from your system. Detox. Diet Sheets are available at the pre-fast briefing at $2.00 per sheet.

3.Ensure that the atmosphere you leave behind is one of peace.

4.We do a complete fast, which means abstaining not only from food but, from your everyday practices. Therefore we ask that you DO NOT bring the following:

  • Deodorant, Anti-perspirant, under arm lotion
  • Scented soaps, talc, perfumes, oils, body lotions, bath lotions etc.
  • Facial Makeup, powders, foundation creams, toners, moisturizers etc
  • Toothpaste, mouthwash
  • Confectionery –Mints, Chewing Gum etc.
  • Jewellery – with the exception of Engagement or Wedding rings / bands.
  • If you wear nail polish (hand & toes) take off before coming to camp.

If you must workon Friday morning before coming to camp, please ensure that you do not arrive on camp wearing any of the above.

During fasting, the senses are heightened and scented cosmetics cause nausea and headaches. We need to be sensitive to others. Using toothpaste or mouthwash - the sweet and mint flavour activates the taste buds and the stomach and brings on the desire for food.

5.Arrival time at camp is Friday morning 9:00 am. No admission after 9:00 a.m

6.While on camp you are to keep in the attitude of prayer. Avoid idle conversations. Avoid discussions about food.

7.Wear comfortable and loose clothing e.g. slacks, loose jeans, long dresses/skirts.

Things you need to bring:

  • Bible, Pen and Notepad (Notepads can be purchased at the campsite when registering)
  • Linen for bed & cover, pillows & cases– (necessary if you do not want to use those provided)
  • Mosquito net or unscented insect repellent (if you have a problem with insects)
  • Lots of water
  • A meek and humble spirit to receive what will be taught.
  • An Offering.

Fasting is a highly spiritual activity. It is imperative that all the rules are followed. Disobedience by one person can disrupt the flow of the Holy Spirit and therefore the purpose of the camp. Therefore, if anyone is found to be disobedient, they will be asked to leave.

If you are not able to attend one of our Pre-Fast Meetings, youshould send a representativeto receive the necessary information. Be sure to read the above rules carefully to follow them.
