Providing Water to Haiti!

Haiti Earthquake Response
Living Water International is mobilizing to help communities in Haiti restore clean water after the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere was rocked by a catastrophic earthquake on Tuesday.
The massive 7.3 magnitude earthquake was the strongest to hit the country in 200 years and was felt as far away as Cuba. It brought down buildings including the presidential palace, hotels, hospitals, and the UN headquarters in Port-au-Prince, Haiti’s capital. Tens of thousands are feared dead.
LWI teams are already on the ground in the midst of unimaginable devastation to do what they can, but the problems for affected communities are only beginning. The most urgent need during the coming days and weeks will be water.
Homes can take months to re-build, electricity can take weeks to restore, but people can’t last long without water.
Earthquakes destroy water systems. Pipelines break, electrical distribution systems fail, and hand-dug wells–—already questionable water sources–—are rendered useless or become contaminated with cholera, typhoid, and other waterborne diseases.
“In Haiti, clean water is a terrible problem even at the best of times,” said LWI Executive Director Gary Evans. “After a quake like this, it’s a crisis of epic proportions.”
“This isn’t the first time we’ve been part of disaster response in Haiti,” said Evans, referring to LWI’s response to the devastating hurricane season of September 2008, when four major storms including Hurricane Ike slammed the country. “But this could be the worst we’ve seen.”
In response to the Haiti earthquake, Living Water International is setting a goal to repair 500 incapacitated handpumps in Haiti during 2010, serving at least 250,000 people.

New Series Begins! NEW FRIEND REQUEST
Posted by Dan in Information on January 8, 2010
NEW FRIEND REQUEST:
We all want friends—even if we don’t want to admit it. We all want someone to hang out with, someone to talk to, someone who knows us. But friendship requires something from us. It’s not just what we get or what makes us feel comfortable or happy. There’s a smart way to do friendship, a way with intention, a way that will draw us closer to God’s heart—if we surround ourselves with the right people. That doesn’t mean our friends have to be clones of us—but it does mean that they at least help us move in the right direction.
Session One: Accept? (Sunday, Jan. 10th)
Session Two: Respond? (Sunday, Jan. 24th)
Session Three: Ignore? (Sunday, Jan. 31st)
(JAN. 17 – SPECIAL CONCERT @ lifechurch for sr. high and LASER TAG EVENT for jr. high. Both @ 5:30pm)
