30 Hour Famine - Save the Dates!
We will grow closer to Christ and each other as we fast together for 30 hours and raise funds to fight hunger. What’s more, when you do the Famine you get to be a part of something bigger than yourself. To take action for God’s kingdom. To help save the lives of hungry kids. To permanently change the way you see the world.
Every year, hundreds of thousands of students in the U.S. — and thousands more around the world — unite through World Vision’s 30 Hour Famine to feed hungry children and families.
We will learn about life in Africa as we take part in “Trek Challenges: Africa.” We will play games, worship, take part in service projects and so much more! We will stay the night at church and at the end of our time together, we will share a fabulous meal!
