30 Hour Famine

All High School/College Students
30 Hour Famine
November 12-13th
$30


It's time to make a difference here and around the world!

If you are a high school or college student then listen up! Did you know that over 850 million children around the world are with out food? How about the fact that every day 26,000 children die because of hunger, disease, and poverty, and of those, 14,000 die as a result of malnutrition? Shocking huh? We believe that God is calling the students of Westwood to do something about this.

As a result, this November we are partnering with World Vision to make a difference. World Vision is a Christ-based organization that seeks to provide food and the gospel of Jesus Christ to the hungry around the world. So, here's what we are going to do. On November 12-13th, we are doing a 30 hour famine. During this famine, you will be challenged to give up food for 30 hours (from after breakfast Friday morning till dinner Saturday evening), and $30 dollars of your hard-earned money. The best part is, your $30 will provide a kid in a developing country food for 30 days and a chance to hear about Jesus Christ!

In addition to the 30 hours of fasting from food, we will have three different worship services at AREA 51 over the course of the weekend. Micah Millican will be teaching and worship will be led by Shawn & Katie Sandlin. Friday night will be spent at a host home with your friends for Bible study and fellowship time, and on Saturday morning you'll step out of your comfort zone and serve people in our community through various projects and random acts of kindness. It's time to be the hands and feet of Jesus!

Registration forms can be picked up during Life Groups or at AREA 51. For more information contact the Student Office, 664.0122 x216 or email students@ewestwood.org.
