Put it on your calendar: October 20, 2010. That’s the day thousands of students across North America will skip a meal and give their unspent cash to Compassion International to help feed hungry children around the world. And it’s the day that changing the world comes down to a simple equation: You + Small Action = Big Impact.
You . . . and your friends, family, student ministry—pretty much anyone you know who eats.
Small Action. Skip a meal and give the unspent cash to Compassion International.
Big Impact. Feed hungry children around the world.
Now, that’s a small act with a huge impact! But it’s not the only impact of One Meal One Day (OMOD).
The OMOD movement is much bigger than a single act of sacrifice. It’s about empowering students to lead the church by raising awareness and funds to feed the hungry. And it’s about spiritual transformation—helping students to become more like Jesus as they discover his heart of compassion for the poor and commit themselves to be his hands and feet in service.
Watch this video to hear sixteen-year-old juniors Claire and Katie share their own story of transformation—how God opened their eyes, multiplied their efforts and changed their hearts.
