On the weekend of Oct. 24 Milligan University’s International Justice Mission (IJM) chapter participated in the Freedom Fast.
“The mission of “Freedom Fast” is to fast for 24 hours, say 24 prayers, and give $24. We asked participants to give what they can as we understand that $24 can be a big ask, “ said sophomore Molly Dycus, chapter president. “All the proceeds went to the International Justice Mission as an entity, not Milligan’s Chapter.”
Currently IJM as a whole has earned $31,599 with 437 partciapnts and 86 teams for the mission of rescuing those trapped in human trafficking. .
Milligan’s chapter contributed with 20 participants and raised a total of $251 dollars.
Dycus states, “Everyone seemed to have different experiences fasting, I personally got a little dizzy and was shaking so I ate just a little bit around 2 pm (the fast ended at 6pm).”
Dycus mentions it was definitely an insightful experience overall.
Milligan’s IJM chapter has no events planned for the remainder of the semester.
“We are currently working on what we want to do next semester,” Dycus said.
