30 Hour Famine

 

Assuming it takes you two minutes to read this announcement, 36 children under the age of five will have died by the time you have finished. 36 CHILDREN. And those deaths are from hunger, poverty, and hunger-related diseases — all completely preventable. The good news is that our youth group has decided to do something about it: World Visions’ 30 Hour Famine.

     The problem is huge, but the solution is not. Just $30 a month—roughly $1 a day — can help feed and care for a child in most developing countries.

     As older students go 30 hours without food on March 13 and 14, they’ll get a taste of what it’s like to be hungry, all the while reaching out to others in need. And as they do that, their compassion will grow: for people around the world, and right here at home.

     Please help our youth group by:

1. Praying for the Famine participants, and for those they’re working to save.

2. Supporting Famine participants with a donation. It’s through your gifts that lives are changed forever.

Younger students are asked to participate in a TV Blackout for 30 hours on March 13 & 14. For information see the special flier after church or at Sunday School.

Thanks and God bless! Barbara Debner (628-7131)
