    Wow! this is amazing! I am currently studying Darfur in my history class, and it’s crazy what is happening there! It is so encouraging that you are doing this Jon! I want to be part of this! So I am setting Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday aside to fast, in support of Darfur! I need to find others way that i can get involved with this! It is unbelievable what is occuring over there! thanks for doing what you do jon!

  3. The heart recognizes that the stories of the displaced people in Darfur are closely intertwined with mine. But a full stomach can sometimes muddy the clarity in the busy streets of a harried mind. This is a timely reminder even for a grad student struggling to pay rent in a “3rd world country” where inner & outward poverty is as close as glancing outside the window, stepping outside door, looking in my mirror. Thank you, Mr. Foreman for believing, & walking these beliefs, & singing about it. Thank you for inspiring me to take a closer look at what one—no matter how tiny and obscure—can do about something as huge as a continent & as important as human dignity. This is something I’d take the time to let others know. Joining in the fast for life and dignity,

    I admire what you are doing & I respect your reply on your fast , I to am a Christian but it seems sometimes we can be too religious/legalistic . You are tring to get public awareness to the suffering of the many innocent people .
    God Bless you !
