30 Hour Famine
30 Hour Famine Originally uploaded by pastorjay_photoalbum
The youth are doing the famine thing this weekend with half a million others around the country. World Hunger is an international organization that provides a way for individuals to sponsor a child for as little at $30 a month. In this picture, though they will not eat for another 26 hours, these youth were handing out free cookies at a major intersection in town to draw attention to hunger around the world. They also had pictures and information of “adoptable” children. The youth will stay together all night and sleep outside in a cardboard village and then conclude the famine with a lunch after church tomorrow. They will also be serving “unimix” from a tent in front of the sanctuary after the morning service to give us all a taste of one meal that is used to nourish impoverished areas of the world.
