Give Clean Water for Christmas


2009
12.09

Advent Conspiracy is a movement to SPEND LESS and GIVE MORE this Christmas season. We learned about the water projects that our church is embracing this season to give CLEAN WATER to those who have never had it before. We learned that only $100 will be a BioSand Filter for a family or community in a country that does not have fresh water. We also learned that our youth group spends approximately $100 on snack every week. So what if we SPENT LESS…what if we gave up our snack every week to buy a family clean water? And what if we GAVE MORE…what if we gave part of our allowance every week to add to the money? What if we asked our parents to give us $ towards a filter instead of a Christmas present? What if we sold something we had but didn’t need so some people could have clean water.

What if?

A month ago we threw out an idea to give up snack, which our youth group spends $100 on every week, and donate that money to buy a BioSand filter to a family who has never had clean water before ever. But what if we did more? What if we, as a youth group, took from our allowances and piggy banks and GAVE MORE? What if we MATCHED that $100 every week?

WHAT IF WE DARED TO CONSPIRE?
