God has been doing some pretty amazing things this week at The University of Maryland.  I’m so encouraged by the faith, passion and dedication of a group of Gathering students on that campus who gave much of their week to bringing “Wells For Change” to life at College Park.  Wells for Change is an outreach dreamed up by GatheringUMD’s student leadership team and run in conjunction with our partners at Living Waters International.  The goal is simple – to ask college students to donate spare change to bring clean drinking water to people in Jesus’ name.  There’s two purposes in that sentence, by the way:  one, drinking water and, two, talking with college students about Jesus and His heart for the poor.

God was so faithful in accomplishing both through these amazing students.  It’s hard to measure the effect of spiritual conversations.  But I can share with you the effect the outreach made on people in need of clean drinking water.  Over 1,000 people will be getting clean drinking water for the next year thanks to Wells For Change.  That’s pretty unreal, if you ask me!

Just one example of why I love serving The Gathering and university students all over DC.
