Need Not Thirst

In February, I launched on Facebook a new ministry called "Need Not Thirst"NNT is designed, prayerfully, with the goal in mind to "Bring both eternal and earthly water to all thirsty nations...".

Need Not Thirst is a recognized campaign of Blood:Water Mission, and we are partnering with them to help the people of Uganda through B:WMs water mission projects to that nation.

On Tuesday, February 14th, the day of love... we'll be beginning "40 Days of Water".  During 40 Days of Water you simply make tap water your drink of choice.  That's right... trade out sodas ("cokes" for all my southern family), coffee, teas and bottled water for tap water.  When normally you would make a dash to Starbucks for that grande-yummy-tasty-latte-concoction-to-keep-your-life-moving-forward with foam add caramel sauce, put that money away and save it!  At the end of 40 Days of Water, on March 24th, join us for Water:Walk (details to be posted on Facebook) where we'll simulate a several mile hike (like so many make daily in Uganda) to a water source to collect water for the day.  We'll donate all of our money at Water:Walk on March 24th, and then donate every penny to Blood:Water Mission.  All during the 40 Days of Water fast, we'll be praying for the people of the world, specifically Uganda, who are thirsting for water.  More importantly, however, for the eternal water from Jesus we all need.  He told the lady at the well, "I have water, that if you drink it, you need not thirst again" (John 4 paraphrase mine).  It's that simple.

Please check us out on Facebook at www.facebook.com/neednotthirst and "Like" our page.  Begin something great, "pray and do" for those who are in need...
