WHAT IS WORLD VISION’S
30 HOUR FAMINE?
• It’s a worldwide hunger awareness program to
help feed the world’s 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 feed and
care for a child for an entire month!)
• The experience teaches us about Christ’s
compassion, and about how we can help change
the world.
IS WORLD HUNGER STILL A BIG ISSUE?
• Every day 29,000 children die from hunger and
hunger-related diseases.
• As many as 1 in 5 children die before reaching
their fifth birthday.
• One sixth of the world’s population does not have
access to safe drinking water.
WHY DO THE FAMINE?
• We want to feel the power of Christ’s
compassion.
• It brings our youth group closer together, and in a
closer relationship with Christ.
• If we don’t 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.
• We’re offering children more than a chance to
survive – we’re 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 Vision’s child sponsorship
program.
• Child sponsorship is one of the most effective
ways to change a child’s life while helping an
entire community become self-sufficient.
• To sponsor a child, check with your church’s
youth leader, visit our Famine Sunday table after
the service,or call 800-7-FAMINE (800-732-6463).
