Luke's 7th Birthday Wish - UPDATED

Luke has been consistently praying for the Haitian people to have clean water.  He heard about their need at Sunday School about six months ago, and it has stuck with him.  Luke is celebrating his 7th birthday next week on Thursday, August 16th, and he wants to give clean water to Haiti for his birthday.

Dear Friends, will you prayerfully consider donating something, anything, to Living Water International in honor of Luke's 7th birthday?   Living Water International has created a link especially for folks who want to give. You can also make checks payable to Living Water International and send them our way.

Every time Luke earns money around the house, he puts some of it in this jar.  He's collected cans from the neighbors and redeemed them for the jar.  We even included a request in his birthday party invitation for folks to bring a donation rather than a gift.

As parents our greatest desire is that our boys understand who Jesus Christ is AND that they can be used by Him in this broken, hurting world to accomplish His purposes and bring Him glory.  The "Clean Water for Haiti" jar on our kitchen counter has become an awesome opportunity not just for Luke, but for our entire family, to experience these truths.  To sponsor a well in Haiti will cost $3,000.  We have $207.16 so far.  Will you join us?

Wow, this seriously made me tear up. Praise the Lord for tender hearts! It's got to be moments like that that make you say, "YES! What I'm doing every day is worth it!" ;)
