30 Hour Famine Consent Form

Dear Parent/Legal Guardian,
Your son/daughter has shown an interest in participating in World Vision's 30 Hour Famine (APRIL 24-25).  Participation means that your son/daughter will:
  • Miss three main meals by fasting for 30 hours, beginning Friday, 24th @ noon.
  • Arrive at Zion as soon as school is out, with a change of clothes and sleep wear (pillow, sleeping bag, etc.).
  • Drink only water and juice (or popsicles) during those 30 hours.
  • Take part in a lock-in style event at Zion.
  • Break their fast at 6 pm with a pizza party.
If your son/daughter is not physically capable of fasting for 30 hours, he or she can still participate in a modified fast.  Please contact me if you would like to discuss this option.  Before I issue our lock-in agenda, I would like your acknowledgment that you support his or her participation.  Please fill out the form below and when you are finished click on the "submit" button.

Thank You.

World Vision is a Christian relief and development organization dedicated to helping children and their communities worldwide reach their full potential by tracking the causes of poverty.

Fasting is a physical benefit for most people.  Exceptions are children under 12 years of age, the elderly, diabetics, those pregnant or nursing, and others who have had recent surgeries or have other specific medical problems.  Most youth will have no problems completing the 30 Hour Famine; however, modifications can be made as necessary.  If you have any health-related questions about your child's participation in the Famine, please consult your doctor.

For more information on fasting, you can click on the "Facts of Fasting" sheet on this site.  You can also obtain this sheet by calling 1-800-7-FAMINE or finding it at www.30hourfamine.org.  Please do not send this consent form to World Vision.
