Go, Give and Pray

I had a chance this evening to get together with some people with kindred spirits. Because one of my good friend's crazy ideas, this group of people are going to put together a banquet/fundraiser for Living Water International here in the Permian Basin. Most of us have been on a trip with LWI and have seen God move in many ways through water. We want the people around us to be moved to go, give and pray as well. So, we're going to be putting together an event on May 25th at Rock the Desert's facilities to raise up volunteers to go and to give as well. There is going to be plenty of food, music, video, pictures and stories of reaching the thirsty with water and the Living Water. Please pray that God begin to move and stir up hearts to go, give and pray.

I'm thankful for people that see no difference between our outward actions and what God has done on the inside. These two should be so intertwined and mingled that there is no discernible difference between who we truly are and who we portray ourselves to be by our actions. God has rescued us and is satisfying our thirst, so we should be rescuing and satisfying the thirst of others too with physical water and the Living Water, Jesus Christ.

I really can see God doing some big things through this event. We really don't know how big or small this thing could be. Our goal is to stir up hearts to go, give and pray. This literally could raise millions of dollars of impact, or just a few hundred dollars. This could begin to change hundreds of lives, or just one. Either way, we seek to honor God and be used by Him.

Father, use our talents, influence, monies and skills to bring you glory and honor. We pray that You would begin the work of reconciliation in many people's hearts through this. We pray that You would use the wealth of the Permian Basin to bless countless people. We pray that You would usher in Your Kingdom through the drilling of these wells. We pray expectantly, knowing that You can do far above all that we can hope for.
