Sunday is World Water Day.
As I write this I'm sitting at a coffee shop drinking a great big coffee made with about a cup and a half of water. And I'm thinking that what's in my cup looks alot like the water that people all over the world drink. Only mine is that color thanks to coffee grinds and milk. Their water is that color because of mud and algae.
The lack of clean water results in the deaths of millions of kids every year. And it is a totally solvable problem.
And we are committed to tackling the problem.
In the village of Lisanjala in Malawi, we are providing the funding for clean water wells that will give people access to disease free water that will save lives...in the name of Jesus.
So, in honor of World Water Day, we're going to try to appreciate what we've got and care for thsoe who don't have it.
Instead of serving COFFEE on Sunday, we're just going to serve WATER. So if you're one of those who really needs caffeine just to be out in public, you may want to caffeinate before you arrive. We'll have a donation bowl on the WATER table where you can contribute to our Meet Malawi project that will be digging wells in Lisanjala. But mostly, I hope you'll just enjoy a nice cold cup of water and be reminded of how God has blessed us...and how he is calling us to be a blessing to others.
Peace.
