Are you thirsty?

It is still really hot here in Texas and I'm constantly thirsty! It seems like I can't get enough icy cold water on days like these. Then I stop and think... 1.1 billion people with no access to clean drinking water, not to mention refreshing water to drink. Sometimes it haunts me...thinking of a child with no way to quench such thirst. How can we Christ followers say we love and turn away from such need? I've found two wonderful groups that have made it easy for us to love in the name of Christ: Dry Tears and Living Water International.
I'm sure there are many great ministries, but I have found these two wonderful to work with and passionate about their desire to meet this need. http://www.drytears.org/ is student led and currently my 9th grade Bible Study group has launched a Facebook group called Have1Give1. These sweet girls hope to reach all of their friends who might, in turn, reach their friends. Check out the great work at Living Water at http://www.water.cc/. 1.1 billion people without clean water! We've got to do something!
