Christmastime is something we thought would get in the way of starting a well in December. It is the toughest month to ask for money. Little did we know that YOU ALL would absolutely blow our goals out of the water (literally) and change that thought process of ours!! Not only did we already build a well this month, we are on our way towards getting January’s well built!!
December’s well is named after Gwendolyn Hope Cushman. She is the beautiful daughter of Blair & Erin Cushman, who went to be with Jesus on October 20, 2010. Little Gwendolyn’s well will provide safe drinking water to 2000 people, saving 1000 of them from water-related deaths each year.
We are simply humbled by your outpouring of love. I listened to Matthew West’s song “My Own Little World” today. I thought of you all. You have given your lives to serving a greater purpose. Thank you!
Our God is so, so GREAT!  I am yet again shown how much bigger His plans are than ours!
My Own Little World
In my own little world it hardly ever rains
I’ve never gone hungry or always felt safe
I got some money in my pocket shoes on my feet
In m own little world
Population me
I try to stay awake through the Sunday morning church
I throw a twenty in the plate but I never give ’til it hurts
and I turn off the news when I don’t like what I see
it’s easy to do when it’s
population me
What if there’s a bigger picture
what if I’m missing out
What if there’s a greater purpose
I could be living right now
outside my own little world
Stopped at the red light, looked out my window
Outside the car, saw a sign, said “Help this homeless widow”
Just above this sign was the face of a human
I thought to myself, “God, what have I been doing?”
So I rolled down my window and I looked her in the eye
Oh how many times have I just passed her by
I gave her some money then I drove on through
in my own little world there’s
Population two
What if there’s a bigger picture
what if I’m missing out
What if there’s a greater purpose
I could be living right now
outside my own little world
Start breaking my heart for what breaks Yours
give me open hands and open doors
put Your light in my eyes and let me see
that my own little world is not about me
