Why Clean Water?

PS: This experience has caused my wife and I to re-invent Christmas this year. I posted some flawed planning thoughts here.

We need more people who will record what people who are the ‘hands and feet of Jesus’ in our current world so people like you will re-think their financial giving period; not just at Christmas or Thanksgiving but everytime they are paid for doing something.
A thought that maybe complicated: do missionaries (long-term) get paid for what they do?? or do they get “financial support?”
Great and inspiring video. I hope mine comes out half as well as yours did.
Nicely done Mo. What a fantastic representation of the Kingdom work that we got to be a part of. Cant wait til next time.
