Dear Beloveds,

RE: Come alongside us and sow into God's Kingdom!

"He who is generous will be blessed, For he gives some of his food to the poor." Proverbs 22:9

Bear with me for a moment and imagine being so thirsty and dehydrated that you are grateful to drink dirty, stinking nasty water, scantily, and feeding that to your children. Imagine your husband or wife handing you a dirty bucket, sending you to walk 10 miles till you find a dirty puddle from which to draw. Then you take that home to drink, cook with, and feed to your baby. Everybody is sickly but you have no medicine. You are literally feeding them disease just to keep them from starvation and death. You are desperate, and weep often.

Now, imagine a foreigner suddenly appearing with a huge jug of fresh, clean water, and he leaves it right inside your home. Without saying a word or asking for anything in return, the foreigner blesses you in the name of Jesus and leaves. Day after day, you discover that well never runs dry, it is always full with fresh clean delicious water! Your wife/husband and children are becoming healthy, your mind is functioning more clearly. You begin to experience life on a level you had never dreamed possible! How do you feel about that foreigner that brought you clean water?? And how do you think God feels about him?

Be that person. If you were considering buying us a Christmas gift, or just know you are called to contribute, please give for the clean water project. We bless you to ask God whether He wants you to give. Give what He says to give with happy heart, for God loves a cheerful giver! (2 COR 9:7) He will be so delighted in us; He will reward you, and that's a promise! (Hebrews 11:6)

I know the Lord wants to bless you beyond measure. He has made His law very clear: as you sow, so shall you reap. He who sows sparingly will reap sparingly; He who sows bountifully will reap bountifully! (2 COR 9:6) Don't fear. Believe in the word of God and STAND on His promises! This year, we could give clean water to more than 150 people who right now are dying from dehydration and preventable disease. This is why we celebrate Christ, because He came to earth to proclaim the good news to the poor, release the captives, give sight to the blind, set free those who are oppressed!!!

Thank you so much for your heart for God, God's purposes, and to answer your call as a Kingdom bringer. May you reap a hundred-fold what you have sown, in Jesus' name!

With LOVE and GREAT expectancy!
