40 Day Fast Food Fast!

In Kosova, wood burning stoves are the primary source of heat and cooking. However, the price of wood has doubled this year, due to police being more strict on who and where people can get wood.
There are several families in our church that do not have the finances to supply food for their families, let alone wood for the winter months. In light of this situation, we are presenting you with a new challenge, to raise money to help these poor families get through the winter months.
We are hosting a 40 Day Fast Food Fast! For 40 days, starting September 22, we are asking you to sacrifice at least one fast food drink or meal once a week, and donate the money you would spend on those meals or drinks towards the purchase of food and firewood for these families. How does this work?
Fast at least one fast food meal or drink each week. For example, one Grande Mocha from Starbucks per week can add up to $25 over 40 days. One fast food meal could easily add up to $50 over 40 days. Imagine what a family of 4 could accomplish! $50 would buy enough firewood to heat a family's home for a month. $100 would feed a family of 4 for an entire month.

No participation is too small! Every dollar helps!

If you are up to the challenge, please let us know that you will be joining us in fasting by sending an email to: changedbyhislovebug@yahoo.com

At the end of the 40 days, send your gifts to:
