We started 3 weeks of missions focus - theme water for life. Tonight at the evening service, I asked who cares? Who cares if 1.2 billion people don't have clean water and every 8 seconds a child dies of disease related to dirty water? Who cares that the average American uses 200 litres of water a day, while the average Ghanian uses 5 litres. Who cares?
And asked if anyone would like to try living for a day on water from an outside tap. And that perhaps they could be sponsored. I had 5 buckets and all 5 buckets disappeared. 5 people are going to try to live for a day, not from running tap water, but from lugging buckets in to wash and clean dishes and do toilet.
