Prophetic Promise

Fast Offerings Change Hearts

President Henry B. Eyring

“In the Church today we are offered the opportunity to fast once a month and give a generous fast offering through our bishop or branch president for the benefit of the poor and the needy. …

“… Part of your fast offering and mine this month will be used to help someone, somewhere, whose relief the Lord will feel as if it were His own.

“Your fast offering will do more than help feed and clothe bodies. It will heal and change hearts. The fruit of a free-will offering may be the desire in the heart of the recipient to reach out to others in need. That happens across the world.”

President Henry B. Eyring, First Counselor in the First Presidency, “Is Not This the Fast That I Have Chosen?” Ensign, May 2015, 23, 24.
