Have you ever said, "I'm dying of thirst?"

If so, I bet you didn't really mean it.

If you're like me, you don't spend too much time thinking about water -- it's everywhere we go. When we're thirsty, we flip a handle or push a button. When we're dirty, we twist a shower knob. When our garden needs watering, when our pasta needs to be boiled, when we use the bathroom -- water is just there for the taking.

But for almost a billion people on the planet, it's not. Millions of women and children have to walk hours each day to get water from muddy ponds and rivers. And much of that water is infested with bacteria, parasites or leeches.

Just like our lives, water can be polluted or pure. Without Jesus, our lives are full of filth called sin. BUT, Jesus in our lives acts as a filter, cleansing us from our sins, just like these water filters cleanse the drinking water for these people. We have an amazing opportunity to help, like Jesus has helped us by us, purifying their water. We ask you, to partner with us now and help make a difference to the least of these all over the world in the name of Jesus through Charity water.

I've never actually been dying of thirst. I'm sure we'd all like to see a world where no one does.
