Here’s the challenge for the month of February:
When you go out to eat this month I want you to order water with your meal rather than a soda. Can you do that? Can you give up your diet Coke or Cherry Pepsi? Take that dollar that you just saved and donate it to the Blood:Water Mission. While you’re drinking that water you can be reminded that, because of your small sacrifice, a person in Africa will have clean water for a year. That’s right, just one dollar can provide an African with clean water for an entire year! How many times will you go out to eat this month? How many lives can you change by just drinking water?
And here is the extreme challenge for all the Starbucks lovers out there:
Take those three plus dollars that you normally spend on coffee and donate them to the Blood:Water Mission instead. As you are going through those caffeine withdraws you can remember that you sacrifice is changing the lives of our neighbors in Africa. Now, for some of you the thought of giving up coffee is preposterous. So here is my challenge for you. For the entire month of February keep track of all the money you spend on your fancy coffees. Then, at the end of the month, donate that amount to the Blood:Water Mission. That way our friends in Africa get access to clean water and you are still able to enjoy your delicious coffee.
To donate the money you saved check out the donations tab above.
Great challenge, Rebekah! I also like the ice pictures from your previous post. The boys and I were outside almost forty minutes this afternoon; the snow was almost up to Luke's hips and the storm hasn't even hit us yet. Have fun tomorrow!
