The Navigators

Have you ever considered praying through fasting? Through fasting, we can humble ourselves to seek God in new ways, partnering with Him by putting our focus purely on Him and prayer for a dedicated period of time. During these times, we can see God move in powerful ways, whether through answering our questions or requests or by deepening our relationship with Him. Are you curious how fasting can be implemented in your prayer life?

When Doug Heric switched careers to become a police officer, he felt disconnected from his church and faith. He found himself growing cynical and distant, unable to find time for God under the demands of his taxing schedule. However, when Navigator Chris Green started discipling him by meeting him where he was, he started to refocus his faith. “He would come on ride alongs with me, and he would meet me at times when church doesn’t happen,” Doug recalls. “And I saw that working in my life. It worked for me, and I wanted to do that kind of ministry for others.” Now on staff with The Navigators, Doug uses his past experience to connect with first responders and share the gospel with them. Across Seattle and the United States, Doug and his wife, Christine, have created disciplemaking communities of first responders, and they’ve seen the Lord work in powerful ways.
