You want to draw closer to God, but the noise of the world keeps drowning Him out.
For years, people have said:
“I’ve fasted before… but nothing changed.”
“I start strong and then fall off by Day 5.”
“My fast ends, but my life stays the same.”

This is alignment.

This is restoration.
This is God repaying you for the years the enemy tried to steal.
What is the Daniel Fast?
The Daniel Fast is a biblically rooted season of consecration modeled after Daniel’s example in Scripture (see Daniel 1 & 10). It’s a focused time (in your case: 21 days) of intentionally drawing near to God by simplifying daily life, primarily through a plant-based dietary reset, reduced distractions (a “soul fast”), structured prayer and Scripture, and community accountability. It’s not a diet trend or mere self-denial. It’s a spiritual technology: a structured, repeatable process designed to create margin for God to act, to clarify vision, deepen intimacy, remove strongholds, and position you for lasting change.

The Daniel Fast: Closing the GAP Between Where You Are and Where God Called You to Be
You've been stuck in the cycle — starting strong, fading fast, wondering why breakthrough
never seems to last. You've tried willpower. You've tried programs. You've even tried
pretending you're fine.
But deep down, you know there's a GAP.
A gap between your prayers and your progress. Between your potential and your reality.
Between who you are and who you were created to be.
"I came into this fast feeling lost and disconnected. By Day 21, I had clarity I hadn't felt in years. This isn't just a fast — it's a reset for your entire life."
October is your month of Divine Repayment.
But divine repayment requires divine preparation.
Join thousands across 6 continents who are choosing to GROW. ALIGN. PROPEL.
— not just for 21 days, but for a lifetime of breakthrough.
Start October in faith. Finish with a testimony.

Pastor John Marvin’s Ministry
He joined a 5 AM prayer call during his own valley season — broken, searching, desperate for something real.
He didn’t know it would change everything.
Pastor John Marvin spent decades advocating for the overlooked and underestimated. As founder of Empowered Services, an Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities agency in Oregon, he impacts communities across 36 counties — giving voice to those the world often ignores, dignity to those society sidelines, and opportunity to those others wrote off.
Then God wrote a new chapter.
On that 5 AM call, he met Dr. Nicola McFadden-Marvin. They didn’t fall in love in a coffee shop. They fell in love in a war room. Today, they co-minister across six continents through Ignite the Nations, building God’s Kingdom one transformed life at a time.
Pastor John is a teacher of the Gospel at his core — an evangelist whose fire hasn’t dimmed with age, it’s only burned brighter. Husband. Father. Grandfather. Outdoor adventurer who finds God on mountaintops and in the faces of those others overlook.
His ministry isn’t performance. It’s presence. His calling isn’t platform. It’s people.
He empowers the overlooked because he knows what it means to be found.
Dr. Nicola McFadden-Marvin’s Journey
She emailed prayers to herself at 10:23 PM because she had no one else to send them to.
Bathroom floor. Divorce papers. Two sons asleep down the hall. A million-dollar life collapsed into boxes with no forwarding address. Medical leave. Spousal support paid from disability checks. Three days from homelessness when God opened a door that shouldn’t have existed.
That was 2014.
Today, Dr. Nicola McFadden-Marvin stands on the other side of everything that tried to bury her — happily married to Pastor John Marvin, leading a global movement across six continents, and teaching others the systematic transformation that brought her from the bathroom floor to the boardroom and beyond.
She didn’t just survive. She built a system so others wouldn’t have to figure it out alone.
Through Nikimac Solutions Inc. and UpowerUp Canada Corporation, she leads initiatives that fuse faith, psychology, and leadership into practical transformation: Chayah Club with The Daniel Fast: Closing the GAP and 365: Live Fearlessly for spiritual breakthrough, Mastermind CAFÉ for professional excellence, and Legends & Legacies Publishing for those ready to tell their own stories.
Her testimony isn’t theory. It’s receipts.
The crown never fell off. It just got knocked crooked in the climb. Now she helps others straighten theirs.

The GAP is Closing
Stories from the Daniel Fast Community
When Pain Bowed to Prayer
She entered the fast carrying agony that had become her identity—chronic pain in her neck and back that stole sleep and whispered the cruelest lie: healing wasn't for people like her.
Doctors managed symptoms. Medicine dulled edges. But the ache remained her constant companion.
Then something shifted during consecration. The community surrounded her with targeted, relentless prayer. Scripture became medicine reaching deeper than pills ever could.
On Day 16, we prayed—and before the day was done, breakthrough exploded:
"Praise Report! Thank You Jehovah Rapha! The pain in my neck and back is completely gone! Chain of pain broken and destroyed in Jesus' Name!"She sleeps through the night now. Wakes without wincing. Her body is the proof.
When a Daughter Caught Her Mother's Fire
She watched her mother transform—and it wrecked her in the best way.
"I saw the shift in her and our family when we dedicated time to the Lord together."The mother who once prayed timid prayers now commanded mornings with authority. The woman who carried generational shame now walked in blessing. Patterns that haunted their bloodline—suicidal thoughts, poverty mindset, broken relationships—began snapping like dry twigs under holy fire.
"After watching her transform twice, I couldn't just observe anymore. I needed my own encounter—not borrowed faith."
She joined Chayah Club independently, desperate for revolution. Six months later, she led her first small group. Her mother's ceiling became her floor—now she builds ceilings for others.
"One woman's obedience didn't just change her. It ignited a generational blaze still spreading."
When Truth Became Tears
Her message arrived mid-fast, raw with breakthrough.
"I am in tears right now after completing my SOAP journal entry today. The GAPS are CLOSING."For years she had believed the lies—unworthy, forgotten, disqualified. Nobody. They had become so familiar she mistook them for truth.
"Today I decided to receive truth instead—and it's taking me to a different level so suddenly!"
She had tried fasting before without the I DECIDE preparation. Every attempt ended in defeat by Day 5. This time was different.
"The daily documentation made me face what I'd been avoiding. When I wrote it down, I couldn't unsee it. When I applied it, I couldn't unfeel it. When I declared it, I couldn't unlive it."
Her voice cracked with holy emotion:
"God will get the glory out of this! The gaps I thought would take years to close—they're closing NOW. Not someday. NOW."
The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
What He did for them, He will do for YOU.
