Students in the U.S. and abroad will fast for 30 hours this weekend to draw attention to the plight of starving people around the world.
Sponsored by World Vision, the 30-Hour Famine will begin Friday and run through Saturday. Participants will not only turn their plates down but also will perform community service projects and make donations to help earthquake victims in Haiti and support World Vision's work to feed hungry families in nearly 100 nations.
Organizers say that since 1992 students worldwide have raised more than $130 million. "During 2010, more than half a million teens nationwide will participate and hope to raise $12 million," said Pat Rhoads, manager of the 30-Hour Famine.

Twenty-three humanitarian workers from a church in South Korea were kidnapped in 2007 in Afghanistan. Two of them, including a pastor, were killed by their Taliban captors. After wrenching negotiations the remaining workers were freed. They came home—but not to accolades. They were castigated for bringing “shame” on their nation.
In Kenya, 10 short-term mission workers from an affluent Presbyterian church in Dallas were ambushed in the jungle and robbed at gunpoint in 2007. They finally escaped after a terror-filled hour during which their fate was debated by the gunmen.
These are not isolated incidents.
