Hunger 4 Good @ HYP

HYP in June saw the culmination of the 40 HR Famine by some of our HYP members, and we were joined by treasured visitors Tahlia, Jake, Micah and Noah!

After breaking our 40hr Famine fast 4️⃣0️⃣ 🕰️ with Pizza 🍕 (that tasted so much nicer than usual!!! 👅 ) - we enjoyed a discussion around the theme of Giving 🤲, led by Estelle Southall. We considered Prov 3.9, where we are called to honour the Lord with the first fruits 🍇 🍈 🍉 🍋 🍊 🍎 of all our produce, and that this is not just about money, but about our time ⏰ and our energy 💪 and our imagination 🧠 … everything we freely receive from God. And that if we do that, we will be blessed 🙏.

We considered how giving and sharing with others relies on us trusting in God ⬆️ , and many of us loved the ideas in 2Cor 9.7 - about giving with an open hand 🖐️ because God loves a cheerful 😁 giver, and is able to make grace abound ⛲️ to all those who give.

The Faminers were able to raise $3000, enough to feed and alleviate hunger for over 12,784 kids for a month. And while many groups are getting ready for the famine on the official weekend in August, for a while our HYP group was top of the global leaderboard, and Jesse Tahlia and Matisse were top individuals. Wow!!!

Thx to Jesse for getting us going, and on behalf of all faminers, thank you to friends, family, ecclesias and donators for your support and encouragement!

Well done all xxx

Our Faminers all acknowledged how truly blessed we are by our Father in Heaven that we have enough to eat, and we pray for a just future when no child will need to go without food, hope or love.
