My Birthday is December 16. I am asking everyone who reads this to donate $30 (or whatever you can afford) in honor of my birthday!
That's a $1 gift for every year I’ve been alive to help give life and sustain life for the multitudes of people who do not have clean water through Charity:Water.
While we worry that we don’t have the latest X-Box game or the newest album from our favorite artist or the newest article of clothing that’s hit the retail stores, millions of people around the world worry about having what’s actually necessary for LIFE. Clean, drinkable, usable WATER. God’s blessed me with a healthy family, a home, a car, food and clean water. This year for my birthday instead of getting more of what I don’t really need, I want to be the hands and feet of Jesus to help bless other people.
“Then these righteous ones will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry and feed you? Or thirsty and give you something to drink? Or a stranger and show you hospitality? Or naked and give you clothing? When did we ever see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ “And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!’ Matthew 25:37-40
I’ve accepted the birthday challenge presented by Charity:Water at the 2010 Catalyst Conference. I’ve set a goal of $1,500, which comes out to 50 people giving a $30 gift to provide 75 people with clean water for 20 years. If we can raise $5,000 that will provide an entire village clean water. By the Way…this is HUGE…100% of your donation goes to provide clean water to the people in need, it does not go to administration fees or anything else. It all goes to provide clean water!

Except for when I was a child, I’ve never asked anyone to give me anything for my birthday, but this year I will ask you to give a $30 gift in honor of my birthday to provide people clean water. Will you do that? You can give that gift on this site.
Hope that you have had a Great Birthday! Thanks for the Great example that you show! - Nick
