Advent Conspiracy

The fall sermon series has been entitled "rEVOLution" and about how we can best live out this love revolution of Jesus.  Echoing Mother Teresa, "we can do not great things, only small things with great love.  It is not how much you do, but how much love you put into doing it."

We've talked about some of these small things, and a few sundays ago, I alluded to the small things we can do differently this year to celebrate Christmas. Following up on that, this Christmas, we are encouraging everyone at the Tap to buy a goat for someone in the Third World.

A number of you have seen the promo video for the Advent Conspiracy (great video WATCH it!) - and you'll see it at the Tap one of these Sundays - but what small thing can you do this Christmas?

Get Your Goat!

If you are not an attendee at the Tap and still want to get a goat this Christmas, you can buy one via our donation link on the contact/donation page off our website.  Fill out the donation form at Canadahelps.org (goats are $25 each) and just make sure to note "goat" in the message/ note box.

The challenge is the get 200 goats, and if we do, Pastor Kathy has agreed to kiss a real live goat! 

Advent Conspiracy

It all began in 1990, when a group from Houston, Texas traveled to Kenya ray ban sunglassesand saw the desperate need for clean drinking water. They returned to Houston and founded a 501(c)3 non-profit. The fledgling organization equipped and trained a team of Kenyan drillers, and LWI Kenya began operations the next year under the direction of a national board.

One of the organization's co-founders, Harry Westmoreland Jr.prada sunglasses , worked in the seismic drilling industry. He first saw how important clean water was in 1989 when he visited a missionary who was having difficulty drilling a water well in Peru. In 1989 he invented a portable rig called the LS 100 that could be transported in the back of a pickup truck or in a small boat. The LS 100 can drill 100 feet through soft formations.

That pattern continues today in LWI’s 25 countries of operation; LWI trains gucci sunglasses , consults, and equips, empowering local people to implement solutions in their own countries.
LWI’s world-class training programs in shallow well drilling, pump repair, and hygiene education have equipped thousands of volunteers and professionals in the basics of integrated water solutions since 1997.
