My friend Jody (well, we've never actually met, and I only "know" her through blogland, but she feels like a friend) is leading the way for those of us who are constantly asking ourselves "what can one person do to make a difference in Africa?"
She is gathering a team of 300, who will do 2 things.
1. Commit to sending $20/month to charity: water.
2. Share with others about water.
Okay, I guess she is only asking that you commit to #1, but is pretty confident you will just be compelled to do #2.
This is a team effort.
300 voices going strong.
Can you imagine the power and effect God will have through THREE HUNDRED people passionate about water?
Water is life.
300 Voices for LIFE.
Will you join us?
Leave a comment below if you will, then go to HERE to hear what Jody has to say. Then go HERE to sign up to be part of the team.
I'm secretly hoping to have a little branch of the 300 right here in the tri-valley. I am yearning for like-minded friends that will come together who want to DO SOMETHING with me. Not with their extra time, 'cause none of us have that. I want a group of us who will sacrifice, and carve out a chunk of our already hectic lives to do something beyond ourselves. Beyond our families. Beyond our comfort zones. Where are you friends? The ones that think BIG?
Wow I didn't really plan on calling you all out, but since I am, I might as well do it. Leave a comment if you're on board. If it's too uncomfortable for you to leave a comment on my blog, then you're not the Big Thinker I'm looking for. NO OFFENSE.
Okay, now I'm going to be nervously watching my empty comment section all week. You can still comment even if you are not feeling like being part of the 300 voices. You can still send me a word of encouragement, or tell me that once again I've gone off the deep end =) That just may very well be true.
Because I do like to swim.

HI Amy! I was able to meet Jody a few years ago...she is really sweet and has an amazing heart. I love that you have the water bug too. I have had this on my mind as well.

Amy. I am so glad I found you. It was so nice of God to lead me here. I don't know exactly what he's doing with me as of late, but something's stirring.
Doesn't it seem so basic? Water. I mean it's 2009 and there are still places and people without clean water. It's hard to wrap my brain around that. Why would governments support things like 'the arts' and such when there are actually people without water. It doesn't make any sense. Why don't people do something. Why do people think someone else is taking care of it and they can just go on about there merry day without doing something? It doesn't make sense. Really.
