Haysville Christian Church, First Christian Church and West Haysville Baptist working together to make a difference...

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. We raise money to save kids’ lives. 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 25,000 children die because of hunger, disease, and poverty. Of those, 13,000 die as a result of malnutrition. Around the world, millions of people are hungry – including millions of young children.

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 a 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. Volunteer to help at our Famine event.
