Global Fast! One of our very own, Trevor Hightower just got married this weekend in Colorado. Not only did he marry this gorgeous girl on the right, but they used the celebration of their love as an occasion to serve those in the most need in the world. In response to the water crisis, they decided to make their Big Day a big day for an impoverished community. In addition to setting up a regular registry for household items, Trevor and his bride created WeddingGive.com to enable his guests to give clean water to kids in Africa through Global Fast and Generosity Water. Check out the website http://www.weddinggive.com/Site/Home_.html

So not only will they get their household necessities but hundreds of people will be drinking clean water because of the Hightowers. This is an amazing example of someone taking their life, their influence, their situation and using for the good of those in most need. Amazing!

Can You Imagine Drinking This?

Last night I heard Scott Harrison of Charity Water speak at CAA about the water crisis in the world. While many of us have heard that over a Billion people do not have access to clean water and that thousands are dying daily, Charity Water has done a great job of helping people connect their hearts with ways to help. So while I love their innovative communication. I am thankful that our partner Generosity Water is able to build wells at an even better price per well than Charity Water. So watch this PSA and let's figure out how we can save even more lives through Global Fast and Generosity Water.

This Will Change Because of GF Team!

These are kids from the specific village in Gulu, Uganda that are going to be helped by the fasting team featured below. In a month or so, they will no longer drink that dirty water, they will be more healthy, and will hopefully be in school instead of carrying those little yellow jerrycans.

The more people that we get to join us, the more of this we can do!

Two new wells in Uganda save 3,000 lives

Thanks so much to the Michael Muniz team building two wells in Uganda! ... First off, the team began with 30 people on Michael's team fasting together one meal each week for a few months, then Joe Smith threw a fasting event ... The two combined raised enough to build one well for $5,000. .... And then, to our surprise, Generosity Water had found matching funds to build a second well along with all that we raised! ... As a result of your fasting, some cool events, and a generous matching donor, 3,000 lives will be changed in one of the most needy areas of Uganda!
