The Water Project

what kind of water 

did you drink today?

tap?

filtered?

fiji?

voss?

surely you made sure it was laced with electrolytes..

maybe even spiked with a dash of citrus for flavor

If I'm wrong so far, 

I can be sure that none of you resorted to sipping toilet water

or drawing a bucket from a manhole.

who would do that?  

well.. these children in Sudan would

so would these residents in Kenya

certainly not because they want to, however..

but because it is the only kind of water they have access to..

Thanks to 

The Water Project

that can be changed

By making a small donation

you can make a huge difference for a community by 

helping to bring clean water to them

Clean water for 

drinking

cleaning

personal hygiene

cooking

and farming

One of the greatest things you can do 

through The Water Project is 

fund an entire well

courtesy of

this takes a generous donation, or a team,

but carries the greatest result in 

providing a community with 

continued access to clean water

If you would like to serve 

in this small but significant way,

you should consider helping our personal friend 

Bernard Chung

shown here with his fiance, Janice

Bernard will be 30 next month

and in lieu of birthday gifts, 

he has requested that his 

friends and family instead

donate to his 

personal Water Project

Not only is his birthday coming up, 

but with an impending wedding, 

these two could easily accept

many gracious gifts..

instead, they want to GIVE.

how awesome is that?? 

He has a pretty great goal, 

but I know he can reach it!  

Please, take a look at his page

and the donation options available

Any amount will help get clean water

to a child that needs it!!

seriously.. 

think about it.. 

This is the reality

What will you do about it, today?

2 Million Dollars for REFUGE CHURCH

When I was young, I had the chance to meet

Krystal Stewart

She lived down the street from me.  

A few of my memories of her include figure skating together, walking to 7-11 for slurpees, and then swinging on her front porch, trying to touch our toes to the ceiling of the overhang.  She also had a huskie that could say "I love you".  So awesome!

Her father, York Ash, was a Pastor at a church in our neighborhood, WestWayne Christian Academy, and her home was always 

full of love and Jesus.  

She was one of my first "gateway friends" to the Lord.  

Later on I became a believer and found her again on Facebook.  
She is married and has three beautiful children.

I now have the pleasure of following her through the process of growing the church her and her husband, Ronnie, started just two years ago, in New Port Richey, Florida.

Refuge Church

In the following video you'll "meet" her husband, 

Pastor Ronnie Stewart

and hear his prayer for funding for their new church.  

Yes, you heard that right; 2 Million Big Ones!
In our day, that is not much at all.. reallyIf we can pay athletes to play games (even when they, *ahem*... drop the ball..)Build skyscrapersDrive luxury carsand so on..
We can help Refuge Church meet their markto build a church and serve GOD!
My challenge for all of you is to simply share the heck out of this video and donate if you can!
Help Pastor Ronnie and Krystal meet their goaland build a church that can grow their communityand serve the entire world!
If you have any questions, please refer to the above linked Refuge Church site, or message Pastor Krystal through her blog, facebook page, or her twitter
