Tim S. – “The famine is a good way to have fun while raising money, learning about God and fundraising for the hungry. It’s a good experience.”
Claire S. – “30 hr. Famine was great! I learned tons of stuff and I loved to play the games. I realized how people survive with NO FOOD!”
Hope R. – “I learned a lot during my 30 hour famine experience. I had fun with the shelter building activity.”
Our youth had such an amazing time with this year’s famine experience and I can’t wait for next year’s experience to see what the famine will teach us. I am very proud of our youth group for how they responded well to the lessons and activities for this year’s experience, especially with an adaptive schedule.
~Marc M. (Youth Director)
30 Hour Famine is a mission project sponsored by World Vision that raises money for kids that are suffering from hunger and poverty.
For more information about 30-Hour famine, click here!
We had our 30-Hour Famine experience on May 12th and it was a complete success. We had 3 of our youth participate in a condensed version of the famine this year along with 3 different volunteers over a 12-hour span and had a bunch of fun. We were also able to hit our goal of $1,500 this year; this will feed 38 kids for a month.
A big thank you goes to Tom & Diane Hendricks, Elizabeth Whiting, and Sue Hilgris for their volunteer help for this event; without them, we wouldn’t have been able to do this.
Of course, a great big thank you goes out to all who donated supplies and money, prayed about us, and just sent any and all positive thoughts to us during this time. Thank you so very much. You don’t know how much this means to me.
