More than 50 youths chose to spend part of their spring break without eating. With help from youth ministers and college volunteers, area middle and high school students took part in World Vision’s 30-Hour Famine. Participants from Pittman Park United Methodist, Statesboro First United Methodist, Connection, Statesboro First Baptist, Southbridge, First Presbyterian, Brooklet United Methodist and Statesboro Primitive Baptist churches fasted for 30 hours to learn about hunger and support those in need.
