History pt 6 -- 30 Hour Famine

As a Youth Pastor, I am always looking for new things. I have heard about the 30 Hour Famine for a while, I usually get a few things in the mail from them each year. The folks at GenX told me they do a big event for the 30 hour famine each year in the spring.

Sometime in the fall of 07, the GenX people told me they were beginning the planning meetings for the next 30 Hour Famine to be held in Feb of 08.

I decided to get involved and simply provide a new event and experience for the youth of Generation Hope.

I found out that this event has a several year history and about 10 different churches are involved every year. This year about 20 churches were initially involved. The event is really cool, not only do you not eat for 30 hours, you also do different service projects all around our area. It seems I am not the only one who see the youth of this generation need a hands on experience with God.
