The 30 Hour Famine is an International youth movement to fight hunger. Students decide to go 30 hours without food. As students go 30 hours without food, they’ll get a taste of what it’s like to be hungry, all the while reaching out to others in need. And as they do that, their compassion will grow: for people around the world, and right here at home. As a fundraiser, our students held a coffeehouse event, which was May 16th through May 17th. In order to share the plight of those suffering from famine, Evangel’s seniors sang, danced, and delivered spoken word. They also presented skits, power point presentations, and a video documentary. In addition to all of that, they served food – a commendable feat since they were fasting. After the coffeehouse (Friday – Saturday), students played games, prayed, participated in Bible studies, completed a service project (adding murals to the first floor bathrooms of the school), had communion, and broke the fast with a pizza party! This experience brought our group closer together, allowed us to help feed hungry children, and blessed us with an opportunity to change our world forever.
