Lofters International

We have many members at TWUMC and The Loft who are active with Living Water International and its mission to provide water resources around the world, or as they put it "to provide a cup of water in Jesus' name." They've been involved in over 5,000 water projects around the globe.  I will provide some TWUMC "insider" stories about how we are involved with LWI with a later post.

Today, I wanted to focus to two organizations affiliated with LWI.  First, is ONE. I'm sure you've seen the recent advertisements with Jason Bourne (aka Matt Damon)...they are powerful.  One's goal is to help make poverty history and their campaign of over 2.4 million people (and growing) represent every state and over 100 of the best known and well respected non-profit humanitarian organizations.  ONE is fighting, not only to eliminate AIDS and extreme poverty, but to provide basic needs like health, education, clean water (through LWI) and food to the world's poorest countries.  I encourage Lofters to join their cause...because it is a go and do cause.

Secondly, check out One Million Witnesses.  It is also affiliated with LWI and OMW tag line is "the ultimate faith experiment."  They have set out to find 1,000,000 Jesus Followers who will testify to God's work in their lives.  Participants add their faith testimonies to the website's wall and make a donation to help fund LWI wells in desperate communities. Join me and give up a lunch and make a contribution to OMW. What a terrific concept...how Lofter International.

We TWUMC and Lofters Jesus Followers are already involved with LWI.  I hope you are planning to attend the LWI Houston Gala 2008 on Friday, September 26th.  If you can, sponsor a table, but at least purchase a ticket.  We are go and do people.

As an aside, I want to thank my Facebook friends who have joined my cause for LWI...you guys are great!
