We're a couple of guys who work for Living Water International, a Christian organization that helps impoverished communities in the developing world acquire safe, clean water (video).
Because of the work we do, we get glimpses into lives and communities far from our own, which have changed the way we think about life and faith, and are transforming the way we see our place in the world. How can we love God and people authentically, both on our own streets and across the globe?
We don't have all the answers—in fact, we're just beginning to get a handle on the questions—but we want to invite you along on the journey.
We Are:
