IN A SMALL CITY IN WEST VIRGINIA THIS FALL, high school football teams labored through two-a-day practices. Around noon, the coach blew his whistle and the team scrambled to collect lunches they had brought from home.
While they ate, one player noticed several teammates sitting, doing nothing, having nothing to eat. Moved to do something, this high school football player moved toward the group and offered to share what he had…
IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE that in our own communities scenes like this could actually play out, but the reality is that many in our own communities will not have enough to feed their families this fall.
THE 58 CONFERENCE and FOOD DRIVE will encourage students to care about those in need around them and to mobilize parents, families and churches to meet the needs of those in our commuities: our friends, our neighbors, our co-workers.
the 58conference is a state-wide gathering of high school and middle school students in West Virginia passionate about standing up for those who cannot, putting our faith in action
[oct 18-nov 9]
the 58conference is also spear-heading a state-wide food drive, calling on churches across West Virginia to help those in need. [click here for details on how your church can get involved].
we hope you will join us!
“is this not the fast which i choose,
to loosen the bonds of wickedness,
to undo the bands of the yoke
and to let the oppressed go free
and break every yoke?
“is it not to divide your bread with the hungry
and bring the homeless poor into the house
when you see the naked, to cover him;
and not to hide yourself from your own flesh?
“then your light will break out like the dawn,
and your recovery will speedily spring forth;
and your righteousness will go before you;
the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard.”
ISAIAH 58
