25 in Change: The Beginning



25 in Change. 

A church revolution to change the way we eat, think, and live in the world. 

3 billion people suffer from malnutrition: 

  • 1 billion are suffering from chronic hunger
  • 1 billion are suffering from eating foods without nutrients
  • 1 billion are suffering from eating too much food

For the next 25 days, myself and 49 others from my church and another church in our area, have committed to be Advocates for 25 in Change. As an Advocate, we commit to eating only 12 oz. of beans and rice, three times a day, for 25 days. But there is a catch! Wait for it...

We only eat a 12 oz cup of rice and beans if we have a Partner for that meal! No Partner - no meal. 

Partners are people who join with us by:

  • Giving $25 (100% of it goes to provide 100 meals for school children around the world through the World Food Program)
  • Committing to not eat any fast food for 25 days

The awareness is two-fold. The world has a hunger problem. America has an obesity problem. So let's take a step back and gain some perspective.

I am going to try and be good about blogging. If you look at the last time I blogged on here - what - 5 yrs ago? So I don't know what that says about me and my blogging skills. But I am committed to taking these next 25 days seriously and desire to learn what God has to teach me. Would appreciate your prayers!

If you would like to be one of my Partners - please go to 25inchange.org/advocate/liz-guille/ and sponsor me now. Help provide much needed meals for school children around the world.
