Advent Conspiracy: Water

Advent Conspiracy exists to be a catalyst for the church to help us worship Jesus more fully at Christmas and therefore be transformed by the God of Advent. We believe that we are better together than we are apart and that each year the Advent of Christ should be an opportunity to declare to the world that God has given us the greatest gift.

On Sunday, December 23, we will be taking a special offering (besides our regular offering) with money we have saved by spending less this Christmas. 100% of this offering will be given to Living Water Canada, which "exists to demonstrate the love of God by providing desperately needed clean water and medical attention, along with the 'living water' of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, which alone satisfies the deepest thirst."

The vision is that in the next decade Christ- followers, acting as one people, can blot out the water crisis in the world. The estimated cost to solve the water problem is 10 billion dollars. This is doable given the number of churches and the amount of money that is spent on Christmas each year.

According to the World Water Council, 1.1 billion people live without clean drinking water; 2.6 billion people lack adequate sanitation. 1.8 million People die every year from diarrheal diseases and 3,900 children die every day from water born diseases.

Giving to solve this problem is truly a declaration to the world that Jesus cares and that is why He came and created the church to act on His behalf.
