Christian Leaders Call for 40-Day Fast in Run Up to Election

More than 80 prominent Christian leaders are endorsing a 40-day fast leading up to the midterm elections that kicks off Sunday with a simulcast event from Washington, D.C.

Organized by California pastor Jim Garlow and Prison Fellowship founder Chuck Colson, Pray & Act has gained support from a cross-section of Christians, including Bible teacher Kenneth Copeland, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, Generals International co-founder Cindy Jacobs, Southern Baptist Convention leader Richard Land, Atlanta pastor Creflo Dollar and Campus Crusade for Christ co-founder Vonette Bright.

Garlow said the campaign aims to address a "severe spiritual crisis" in the nation. In a reference to 2 Chronicles 7:14, participants are being asked to fast and pray from Monday at 7:14 a.m. Eastern until Oct. 30 at 7:14 a.m.

"Politics—of either party—cannot save us," said Garlow, pastor of Skyline Church in San Diego and a leader in the successful Yes on 8 campaign that banned gay marriage in California. "We need God. And we need Him now. Positively, we believe it is not too late. At least, not yet."

1. Low blood sugar and guns, what a happy combination.

Jesus is going to appear on lots of food items.

2. 40 days with no food?

I'll believe it when I see it. On the bright side, many of them would be too weak to make it to the polls.

3. I'm sure it'll be like Ramadan ... no food during the day

Of course, that will make them seem like Muslims...

4. Even better!

Perhaps a few intrepid folks will go to the event with signs that say "Muslims Fast Too" or something :)

6. That would be funny.

5. 40 days? Why, that's slightly longer than a lunar month.

Looks like somebody's got a serious case of pious envy.
