Fayetteville State University Hosts 700 Youth for Week of Service
Approximately 700 teens from throughout the East Coast and Midwest have come together at Fayetteville State University (FSU) for an exciting week of service learning, fun, and empowerment, culminating with a massive meal packaging event to feed nearly 50,000 hungry people locally and from Africa, June 26, 8 a.m. to noon in FSU’s Capel arena.
The Lott Carey Baptist Foreign Mission Society, Inc., will host its 65th annual International Youth Seminar at FSU through June 27.

The youth, mostly teens from Georgia to Connecticut and several Midwestern states are expected to package more than 50,000 dehydrated, high protein and highly nutritious meals for local agencies and the hungry in Africa.
The youth seminar promotes community impact, biblical study, dynamic worship, and Christian fellowship.
