Living Water

Compassion, not Consumption.

Since 2006, Christians have been joining the Advent Conspiracy to "Worship Fully, Spend Less, Give More, and Love All".

One compelling success story is that by targeting global poverty instead of indulging in consumerism each Christmas, over 340 wells have been drilled which have drastically changed the lives of more than 200,000 people for the better!

Not only are lives being impacted in real, physical, tangible ways... Doors are opening for the sharing of the gospel.

"Everyone who drinks this water will be thristy again, but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life" (John 4:13-14 NIV).

This is just one way that we can share the love of Christ and store up treasures in Heaven this Christmas.
