If you could really change the world, and it was easy, would you do it?

(******Important Directions are below)
Imagine a parent watching their sleeping child and knowing they may not live long because they don't have clean drinking water. Now imagine that same person's tears when they find out you will be giving them the clean water they never thought they would have.

You were born with a God-given desire to change the world…weren't you? Right now, you have an opportunity to do just that in the Sahel region of West Africa. To get contaminated, diseased and dirt colored water in this place is painful and exhausting. To get them clean water is easy for you by giving generously to help make it happen. Partnered with Charity Water, we can help bring clean water and a better future to 100,000 people in Mali and Niger. And the good news is that 100% of every dime goes to Clean Water. That's right, the Story church will not see one penny.
The mission of the Story church is to help people find their place in God's story. This is one big way to do this. Join us to change the world and don't be surprised if part of the world that is changed…is your world.
This is a virtual run so anyone can run anytime and in any place. The more than run, the more the world is changed. So run with your heart, soul and mind and not just your legs.
Help us to blow this goal out of the water!!! By surpassing our goal of $1000 for the Virtual Run and $6000 toward our campaign overall, we will bring clean water to over 150 people.
