This is a project supported by World Vision.
Members collect pledges before fasting.
All in favor of persuing it, except Tyler Morrell who is still uneasy about 30 hours with no food!

Phil George discussed what this proposal was all about. 
It is to provide churches with tools to get the word out and invite more people into the ministry.
100% agreement to proposal.
Phil George typed up a letter to delegates showing our support over the issue.
Everyone signed the letter.

In past people have mentioned painting three walls in youth room. 
Putting the big FISH in the room has been an idea, too.
Someone needs to contact trustees for permission.
