Nearly 8,000 kids die each day because of hunger. Some starve. Some get sick and their hungry bodies are too weak to fight. Either way, the result is the same.
Another child dies every 10 seconds.
You can do something about it. You can band together with students and youth groups all over the world to fight hunger. Save lives. Write a different story for the planet.
Just imagine. We could be the generation who banished hunger to the history books.
So what exactly is the
Students around the world loving God and fighting hunger. It's that simple.
Every year, hundreds of thousands of students do the Famine. They go without food for 30 hours. They learn what it takes to stop hunger in its tracks. They raise funds to help feed and care for tens of thousands of kids all over the world.
And because the 30 Hour Famine is powered by World Vision, you're not just feeding kids for a day. You're helping them overcome poverty for a lifetime.
What do students get out of the Famine?
Their eyes are opened to a world of hunger and hope. Their minds are filled with the understanding needed to fight poverty and injustice. They experience hunger firsthand to help feed and care for hungry kids.
The result? Not only are students helping save lives by doing the Famine they are growing closer to God and each other while they change the world.
Ready to change lives? Let's do this.
Friday, May 6th, beginning between 12 & 12:30 students will start fasting (not eating anything - just drinking water or juice). At 6:00 Friday night, we'll meet at First Christian Church...and stay there until 6:30 on Saturday night (when we'll eat!).
In the mean time, students should be asking for donations to World Vision to save the lives of starving children. One dollar will feed a child for a day!
When you know you're saving lives...you can really
