Fund-Raising Idea: 30-Hour Fast Excerpt taken from the STL_Digisource_Everywhere
Purpose:
To fast and pray for God's moving in your youth group, church, community, and world.
To experience the reality of world hunger.
To raise money for STL.
How it works:
Students will fast for 30 hours.
The students need to find pledges and sponsors for this event. Sponsors may:
Pledge an amount per hour fasted
Give a one-time donation.
Important:
Each participant under the age of 18 must have a Liability Release/Permission to Participate Form on file signed by his or her parents or legal guardian.
These 30 hours need to have a well-packed schedule. For example, plan praise and worship, teaching, field trips, prayer, games, missions videos, visits/phone calls from
missionaries, and of course, a time for sleep!
Have juices available during free time and breaks.
Have breath mints available at all times.
At the end of the 30-hour fast, plan to have a celebration luncheon for all of the participants (or go out to a local pizza buffet).
Give each participant an "I Survived the 30-Hour Fast!" certificate or t-shirt.
