30-Hour Famine

  
 
2013 Famine Dates
April 5-6, 2013
 
Fasting. Funding. Praying. Learning. Feeding. Loving.
A child dies from hunger-related causes every 13 seconds. It shouldn’t be that way. It doesn’t need to be that way. God has called us to respond. We can do something.
 
On April 5-6 we will do something. We will go hungry for 30 hours to just get a glimpse of what life is like for many across the world.
This is an event for 6th-12th graders. We will have fun with games, spiritual growth in worship, and fellowship time. The goal our youth set this year is to raise $5,250. Please encourage and support our youth in this event.
 
World Vision International, a Christian aid organization that is active in many of the world’s poorest countries, will be receiving all of our funds.
