Give the Gift of Water... literally!
$100.00.
One Benjamin. A C-note. One bill.
What if I told you that by giving just $100.00, you could change a family’s life? Would you do it?
What if I told you that $100.00 could be the single most important ministry gift you make this year because it could save someones life? Would you make that donation?
And what if I told you that by giving one C-note, you might save a little boy or girl from dying of dehydration? Would you empty your change jar and instead of turning it into Coinstar, give it to Adventures in Life Ministry?
Here’s the newsflash... it’s all true!
That’s right. A single donation of $100.00 to Adventures in Life Ministry, in response to this appeal will literally save lives.
Let me explain.
More than 10% of all babies born to indigenous women in Mexico will die before they reach five years old. I have personally heard from many parents that one of the reasons they have so many kids is that they assume at least one child will die young.
One of the main reasons for these early deaths is lack of quality water. Many rural parents lack an ability to buy clean water and often, they are living in an area with no potable water source or sewer system. That means two things... one, outhouses and two, water from polluted wells near those outhouses.
Taken together, this is a recipe for disaster, especially mixed with a lack of quality medical care when your baby does get sick.
So, how can you help?
With a Sawyer Water Filter.
It really is as simple as that.
A $100.00 donation will help a family in our little corner of Oaxaca, Mexico have a water filter that will literally change their life. Pastor Chable, with whom I’ve worked for many years told me in March that his family has not been sick since they got their filter in August. It is the first time in all his life that his family has ever gone 6 months without being sick!
Incredible isn’t it?
In an age when almost everything we want is at our fingertips here in the United States, our neighbors just to the south are needlessly dying for need of quality water. And we have within our grasp the ability to change that equation for less than the cost of a few Vente Mochas at Starbucks.
Think about it.
Every $100.00 will give us one filter to put into the hands of a family in Oaxaca and help support the ongoing ministry of Adventures in Life and Pastor Chable in this challenging area.
Are you able to help us save a life today so that we will have the opportunity tomorrow to share about an eternity with Jesus?
If so, follow this link to our support page and then drop me a line to let us know you are on board.

Conspiracy, apparently like a lot of others who comment anonymously, you also are unable to communicate without resorting to name calling and unsubstantiated accusations.
I typically delete comments from people who have no grasp of the facts of a situation and who choose not to communicate in a way that would not instantly offend people.
