30 Hour Famine

Thank you for reading this post.

During the weekend of February 25th & 26th I will be purposefully fasting for (at least) 30 hours. Why do such a thing? Well, when Jesus was talking about our "acts of righteousness" in Matthew 6 he says, "When you fast..." signifying that, as one of His followers, this is an activity in which I should be participating. Additionally, disciplining your body when it's telling you it needs food can assist you in disciplining yourself when you are tempted by sin. Finally, I'll be fasting on these specific dates in an effort to raise money to help feed starving children around the world.

That's right, I'm going hungry for food.

That's where you come in. I would like to give you the opportunity to sponsor my fast. Sponsoring me at $1 per hour that I fast would feed a child for 1 month. If $30 is not an option for you, any amount that you can give is greatly and sincerely appreciated. You do not need to feel bound by the "amount per hour" model, even if you can donate $2, that is money that will help those in need. (Donations of over $30 are also welcome).

The organization through which I participate in the famine is called World Vision. Please feel free to visit their website and if you have any questions regarding the famine, please contact me or you can visit the 30 Hour Famine Website.

You can donate online on my personal donation site here. Any amount that you give will also be counted in the total amount for the Youth Group that I co-lead. We are expecting between 30-40 high school students to willingly go without food for more than a day to raise money for starving people worldwide.

If you are unable to give financially, please pray for me, my fellow leaders, and the youth that will be participating. This can be a live changing event. It truly helps to put into perspective the abundance that we are blessed with in America.

If you are feeling adventurous, feel free to support us by fasting with us. We will have our pre-fast meal at noon on Friday the 25th and we will Break Fast on Saturday the 26th at 6 PM.
