A Fast that Lasts
Dear Friends:
Thanks for your interest in "A Fast That Lasts" - the new youth hunger resource from Week of Compassion. Designed for both junior and senior high youth, the purpose of a "A Fast That Lasts" is to raise awareness about the root causes of hunger in the local community and the world and to challenge each participant to examine his/her personal and community lifestyles in response to Christ's call to care for "the least of these." Participants are also given new and creative opportunities to raise money for hunger ministries supported by Week of Compassion and the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). This resource has been prepared in cooperation with our partners in the United Church of Christ, the Reformed Church in America and the Presbyterian Church USA.
For a complimentary copy, including a resource video and cd, please contact Elaine Cleveland in the Week of Compassion Office:
