Two Dollars. That’s home much money 2.1 billion people in the world live on each day. Today more than 840 million people will not get enough food to eat. 26,ooo of those people will die. Oh and that is just those who are under the age of 5. Hunger may not be a problem for you, but it is a problem.
That’s why we are participating in WorldVision’s 30 hour famine. We are going to go without food for 30 hours so we can experience just a little of what a lot of people in the world deal with every day.
Here are the Details for the 30 Hour Famine-
– Stop eating at 1pm on Friday April 23rd- no snacks, no candy, just water and juice
– Meet at the church at 7pm Friday night for the 30 hour Famine Event
– We will stay the night at the church so bring a sleeping bag, pillow, change of clothes, toiletries, etc.
– Wear comfortable shoes, we are going to be walking through neighborhoods collecting non-perishable food for the Pickerington Food Pantry
– We will attend the Saturday night Service at Sycamore Creek and then break fast together after the service.
– Parents can pick you up any time between 7 and 8 pm Saturday Night
I know it may be hard to think about not eating for 30 hours, but that is only because you have never had to do that before. Join us for the 30 hour famine and see what it means to be truly hungry!
