Blood:Water Mission

Two weeks of sacrifice. Freshwater church has partnered up with Blood:Water Mission and has set a goal to raise enough money to build two wells in Africa.

"Clean water is a powerful way to begin a large scale conversation about AIDS. The 1000 Wells Project is a simple campaign that has very little controversy surrounding it. It is difficult to argue whether or not a person should have clean water. It is also difficult to deny the equation: $1= clean water for 1 person for 1 year. And it is vital that the church begin to build relationships with African communities. When a well is built, a conversation is started, a relationship between the church and the community benefiting from the project begins. This is the seed of a worldview shift. This is what excites us about this project." Dan Haseltine of Jars of Clay

Two weeks of sacrifice campaign asks people to make tap water their only beverage. For those 2 weeks, take the money you would usually spend on soda, juice, sports drinks, coffee, milk, etc., and collect it in a your favorite mug or cup. So here is my cup of pain! NO MCDONALDS COFFEE!
