21 Days of Prayer & Fasting
Beginning February 9th, we will enter into 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting as a church family. For three intentional weeks, we are setting aside space to seek God together and align our hearts with His direction. Alongside this journey, we will provide a 21-day devotional for download that explores the themes of our BEYOND sermon series.
Each day includes Scripture, reflection, prayer prompts, and a family-friendly section designed to help you lead conversations at the dinner table, in the living room, or wherever your family gathers.
Fasting is not limited to food. While some may choose to fast from meals, others may fast from distractions such as social media, entertainment, or habits that compete for attention. The purpose is not restriction for restriction’s sake, but renewal. When we remove something temporarily, we create room for God to speak, refine, and strengthen us.
Day of Prayer
We will then continue this rhythm of seeking God with a 24-Hour Day of Prayer, beginning Friday, February 27th, at 6:00 PM and concluding Saturday at 6:00 PM. A sign-up will be available for you and your family to choose a time to pray from home. Signing up helps us ensure that someone from our church covers every hour of prayer for the full 24 hours.
On Saturday at 5:00 PM, we will gather together as a congregation to close our time of prayer in unity before the 24 hours conclude.
Celebration Sunday
The purpose of these moments is simple and powerful: unity and accountability. As we pray and fast together, we are strengthening one another, stretching our faith, and preparing our hearts to go Beyond.
On March 1st, we will recommit — or for some, commit for the first time — to go beyond in our serving, in missions, and in our giving. This is about cultivating a lifestyle of prayer and living boldly as followers of Christ in every space we enter.
This month is not just a series.
It is a step forward.
It is a unified declaration.
It is our church choosing to go Beyond.
WHAT IS BEYOND?
We are committed to raising $1.3 million over the next two years to pay off Hallmark Church’s remaining debt.
What does this mean for our future? Freedom. By eliminating this financial burden, we open the door to incredible opportunities to “go further together.” Being debt-free opens the door to:
- Investing more into our ministries that equip the next generation to find and follow Jesus.
- Expanding our community outreach efforts to meet more tangible needs.
- Sending the Gospel into the world by supporting more missionaries and global projects.
This is a big but achievable goal. We believe that God has called us to be radically generous in every area of our lives. Just like the Macedonian believers in 2 Corinthians 8, we have the chance to give beyond what is expected, trusting what God can do with our faithfulness.
Being debt-free means being ready. By positioning ourselves spiritually and financially, we are saying “yes” to whatever He calls us to do, whenever He calls us to do it.
WHY WE NEED TO GO BEYOND
Imagine the possibilities of the impact a debt-free Hallmark Church could have:
Blessing the Community
- A food pantry providing for families in need
- A medical clinic offering care, hope, and healing.
- Opening our 8-acre property for community programs throughout the week.
Investing in Redemption
- Partnering with Freeway Ministries to bring the Gospel and support to those rebuilding after incarceration.
Global Missions Expansion
- Sending teams and resources to spread the Gospel in every corner of the world.
- Supporting church plants and missionaries on the front lines of ministry.
Beyond is about more than paying a bill. It’s about transformation. It’s about saying yes to God’s call to be Jesus’ hands and feet in South Fort Worth and around the world. It’s about dreaming and preparing for what God can accomplish through us for His glory.
FIRST FRUITS
First Fruits is the first step of BEYOND. It’s praying through what areas are you willing to step out of your comfort zone to let God use you. Commit to stepping out in faith even if its scary, making that sacrifice so that the Lord may use you more.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Why Is Beyond Necessary?
God has called us to be radically generous. Our current debt limits our ability to accomplish things for the Kingdom. Eliminating this burden will enable Hallmark Church to focus fully on life-changing ministry.
How Long Will Beyond Last?
BEYOND is a two-year commitment to serve, go, and give.
What is a First Fruits Offering?
A First Fruit offering is a symbolic offering of thanksgiving for God’s provision. Hallmark is beginning this spiritual journey with this offering in the hope of the future harvest of souls God will provide through this ministry.
What Happens When The Goal Is Met?
Praise God! While a financial goal can be met, spiritual growth never stops. Any additional funds will accelerate key local and global ministry projects, ensuring Hallmark continues advancing His Kingdom in exciting new ways.
Where Are We Going On Mission Trips?
Missions are at the heart of Hallmark. We will regularly share new opportunities to go on domestic and international mission trips.

Where are we in the Journey?
God is good! We have just started our Beyond journey and people are already giving. We have raised 555 thousand towards our debt, which means we owe under one million! This is just the beginning and we look forward to going Beyond, not just with our treasure but with our time, talents, and testimony.
