30 Hour Famine May 6-7

Come participate in the 30 Hour Famine!


For all middle school and high school students
Parents please read below:

Is fasting for 30 hours safe?

For most people, going without food for 30 hours is perfectly safe. There are a few exceptions — like kids under 12, the elderly, pregnant or nursing women, and people with certain medical conditions or eating disorders. The Famine is a juice fast, which means students are provided by their Famine leader with plenty of water and juice throughout the 30 hours.
If you have any questions or concerns about fasting, check with a doctor before your student participates. We’ve also got plenty of alternatives to a traditional food fast if you deem that more appropriate.


How will my teen be fundraising?

There are lots of ways students can fundraise: online, in person, by text, over the phone, and more. The hands-down best way to fundraise is by combining ALL of these.
Your teen may also be invited to participate in a variety of group fundraisers hosted by their group leader. 

What will my teen be doing during Famine weekend?

Tons of stuff they’ll love! Their leader will create a customized schedule that includes things like serving their community, learning more about God and His heart for the poor, participating in fun and educational activities like Trek challenges, and taking part in the Poverty Simulation, where they’ll face tough decisions and learn about life from a different perspective — all while hanging out with their friends and growing closer to Christ. The Famine will be one experience they’ll always remember!
