As so many wait in lines and scurry to pick up their Black Friday deals, we are excited to make another donation of proceeds on behalf of you, our faithful readers, to Living Water. As a result of your book purchases, prayers, and willingness to spread the word about our books, a couple dozen more people now have clean drinking water for the coming year.

After spending a week drilling a well in Honduras, this opportunity to provide even a small measure of assistance brings me great joy. Having seen the smiles on young faces as they played football, futbol, and Frisbee, the looks of pride as teenagers helped dig dirt and mix concrete, and the expressions of gratitude from the leaders at the school where the well was located, I will likely never view this ministry quite the same. The need is real.

As I've reflected on all that I have to be thankful for, I am most thankful for organizations like Living Water that make it possible for someone like me to connect with, and make a difference in, these lives that are so vastly different from my own, and yet so strikingly the same. I pray that each of you will have an opportunity to touch and be touched by someone with such great need in the year to come.

Thank you!
