"Joy in the Ark" Prayer & Fasting

The Ark is embarking on a 15-day corporate prayer and fasting siege, continuing from now until January 31, 2022. Mama Vera encourages all who are able to do a Daniel Fast. The theme of the prayer and fasting siege is: “Joy in the Ark!” With the joyous announcement of our new Senior Pastors (to be installed in March 2022), it is evident the Ark is entering a new season. Mama Vera felt a strong exhortation from the Lord for us to corporately and personally prepare our hearts for the new season by cultivating and releasing JOY over the Ark. Daily Scriptures will be posted on the new Ark app, with a members group thread that you can leave a comment on!

The class will be held every Wednesday on Zoom (including 2nd Wednesdays).

The class is open to all Arkers who have expressed commitment to the rebuilding season, or have communicated to us that they are still in process / undecided. We will provide a copy of the book for all participants. Please pick up your copy of the book at service on Sunday July 4th or email admin@arkministries.org for a Kindle copy.

We will embark on a 10-day fast with daily prayer prompts to seek God together and stoke the flames of fiery love for our first love.

Prayer prompts will be available online via the link below. These will also be emailed to you daily. We encourage you to comment and share what you have received from the Lord on the posts!

"It's Not Just Work!": Discovering Kingdom Purpose in Your Work

Monday November 30, 7:30 - 9:00
Learn More / Register Here

Work is part of God’s good design for mankind. There is no separation between the sacred and the secular. Jesus calls us “the salt of the earth” and “the light of the world.” Ark Ministries of Berkeley is hosting a seminar to explore how you can let your light “shine before people in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.” Join us in exploring questions such as:

  • How does your work intertwine with your calling?

  • How can you be salt and light in the workplace?

  • What does evangelism look like in the marketplace (and in a remote work setting)?

  • What does love look like in the midst of conflict and competition in the workplace?

Hear from accomplished business and tech leaders in the Bay Area whose lives are, first and foremost, committed to loving God and people well. Panelists include Ryan Longfield (Senior Pastor of Ark Ministries and Chief Revenue Officer at Gong), Nancy Liaw (Executive Pastor at Ark Ministries), John Boiles (CTO at My Mask Movement), and Michael Ishigaki (Design Manager at Google).
