This is a new type of movement. Global Fast empowers anyone to make an impact as big as their vision. It's about your words and actions, not the size of your wallet. They give you the necessary tools to reach your community and change the world through charity and personal sacrifice.
"By fasting and being uncomfortable for the afternoon, I am forced to remember how good I have it. And regardless of how much I want to complain (and still do), I am confronted by the fact that missing a meal is not even comparable to having to drink muddy water out of a hole in the ground. My hope is that by doing Global Fast, my heart starts to change, so that I actually care more about people in desperate need than I do my own comfort, at least for one meal a week. Its a step towards compassion, something that the world can always use."
This video includes shots of Pepperdine University students, where leaders created a one-day fasting event that raised over $10,000 to help refugees in Darfur. It also includes new footage from water wells built in India, as a result of a one-day fast for World Water Day 2010.
