Note the enclosed flier about World Vision’s upcoming “30-Hour Famine.” The 3DYouth group is planning to participate in next weekend’s “famine” in Angola. This year’s theme is “Overcome Hunger With Love.” The program is meant to (a) increase awareness of the plight facing so many in the world; (b) raise money for World Vision; and (c) experience some of the spiritual benefits that come through the disciple of fasting.
Be praying for our young people this
Friday noon through Saturday evening.
