WHAT IS WORLD VISIONS 30 HOUR FAMINE?
Its a worldwide hunger awareness program to
help feed the worlds poorest children. Our
youth group goes without food for 30 hours to get
a taste of true hunger. Through family,
friends and group fundraisers we raise money to
save kids lives. (30 will help feed and care
for a child for an entire month!) The
experience teaches us about Christs compassion,
and about how we can help change the world.

IS WORLD HUNGER STILL A BIG ISSUE?
Every day 29,000 children die because of
hunger, disease, and poverty. Of those, 15,500
die as a result of malnutrition. Around the
world, more than 850 million people are hungry
including over 300 million children

WHY DO THE FAMINE?
We want to feel the power of Christs
compassion. It brings our youth group closer
together, and in a closer relationship with
Christ. If we dont step up, who will?

HOW THE 30 HOUR FAMINE MAKES A DIFFERENCE
Just 1 can feed and care for a child for an
entire day. The price of a family dinner we
eat at a restaurant in the U.S. can provide food
and care for several months. Were offering
children more than a chance to survive were
giving them hope for a better future.

HOW YOU CAN HELP
Pray for our group members as we do the 30 Hour
Famine. Sponsor a Famine participant (or two
or three!) as they do the Famine. Support our
group fundraisers. Volunteer to help at our
Famine event.

BEYOND THE FAMINE
You can have a deeper relationship with one
child through World Visions child sponsorship
program. Child sponsorship is one of the most
effective ways to change a childs life while
helping an entire community become
self-sufficient. To sponsor a child, check
with your churchs youth leader, visit our Famine
Sunday table after the service, or call
800-7-FAMINE (800-732-6463).
