What is the 30 Hour Famine? The 30 Hour Famine is a World Vision program that allows people to make a significant impact on the problem of world hunger while growing closer to God and to each other. By pledging to go without food for 30 hours, participants not only raise money to help feed and care for children worldwide, but also gain an understanding of how it feels to experience hunger.
I made the following video to demonstrate how to ask for sponsorship. (It was done in two takes, so please pardon that I forgot my lines in the middle.) If you have any encouraging stories or tips about asking for sponsorship, please share them as comments below. It can be helpful for all of us to learn.
On the day of the fasting (6/26), we will use the extra time that we get from not eating our meals to raise extra money for 30 Hour Famine as a group via yard sale, bake sale, and making balloon animals.
this year, i made a list of people that i am going to ask. i am just going to go down the list, not worrying about their responses. so far, the response rate is 100% with varying amount of donation. but hey, every dollar counts.
