Our youth were inspired to donate towards this cause after attending a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldvision.org\/forms.nsf\/hope-sunday-event-kit?OpenForm&amp;ce=2&amp;campaign=2030951\" target=\"_blank\">Hope Sunday<\/a> event that talked about the living conditions in the Democratic Republic of Congo, as well as child sponsorships. In Matthew 14, the disciples ask Jesus to send away the crowd, so that they may get something to eat. Jesus replies to His disciples in verse 16, \u201cThey do not need to go away. You feed them\u201d. Today we still take that command seriously. Our prayer for the funds donated is that God would multiply them many times over to stop hunger, thirst, and disease and to be a blessing to the people in Congo.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-report-this\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/covenantkidscongo?moderation_action=report_form&#038;object_type=post&#038;object_id=2022&#038;width=250&#038;height=300\" class=\"thickbox\" title=\"Report This Post\">Report This Post<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written by Paul Scholz, High School Director at\u00a0Hope Center Covenant Church in Pleasant Hill, CA 30 Hour Famine is the best thing we do with our youth group all year.
