 International Hunger Challenge
Youth leaders: give your group this excellent opportunity to
connect with peers,
develop empathy, and
raise funds for the world’s poor.
What:
|
A 24-hour fast for youth and their leaders, families, and friends |
I know this Hunger
Challenge has forever changed my views on how other people live in the
world and about my role in doing something to make a difference.
—Kayla, youth participant 2005
|
When:
|
Be part of a worldwide fellowship of fasters the first weekend
of March each year in coordination with a Community of
Christ World Hunger Emphasis
Sunday. |
Having our young people throughout the world fast together
will help them experience solidarity with the poor, build friendships,
and connect their efforts to the church’s mission.
