I have been inspired by the work of a couple of different ministries. First, the blood:water mission started by the guys in the band Jars of Clay.
This ministry labors to dig wells in communities where water is unavailable.
What a great ministry. We take for granted the clean water that we have access to at any time. The (teenagers!) at drytears.org are also doing a great work, raising money for much the same cause. Check these sites out.
