X-Out: Drought, Thirst, Disease

By Karen Brown

As a mom, I can’t imagine the devastation of losing a child. The heartbreak and despair would be almost unbearable. What if the loss of that child was totally preventable? What if all it took to save my baby were people willing to share a little from their excess with my family? So simple.

One child dies every 15 seconds due to a water-related disease. So much avoidable grief, family devastation, and loss. It is truly mind boggling. Sometimes we’re left wondering what we can possibly do to help. Wondering how we can make a difference in a place a half a world away.


This Christmas we have the opportunity to make Christ’s birth Good News for all. REUNION has partnered with Old Try to make Christmas cards that support the mission of transforming communities by digging clean water wells. Three dollars from the sale of each cards goes directly to Living Water. And that may be the coolest part. You aren’t just giving Christmas cards; you’re giving hope to those who may need it the most. You’re loving the thirsty in a way that changes lives.


You can buy your cards online here, or grab them in person at any REUNION gathering.


Clean water really is living water.
