Fasting, prayer changed lives of 2 women

In 2002, a Spokane-based public relations and media representative for the Salvation Army met the owner of a real estate company from California while working on the Franklin Graham crusade. That chance meeting resulted in a lasting friendship and a recently released book, “Fast Friends: The Amazing Power of Friendship, Fasting and Prayer” (Broadstreet 2015). Of course, neither Suzanne Niles nor Wendy Simpson Little believes that meeting was random. “God called two average women into a relationship that answered the cry of our hearts for a sincere and dedicated support system,” Niles said. “I had felt led to fast and pray, and two weeks after we met Wendy called (from California) and asked if I’d be willing to fast and pray one day a week with her”/ Cindy Hval , SR.
