If you aren't already aware, there is a story in circulation right now about an incredible 9 year old girl in Seattle named Rachel. You see, instead of asking for presents for her 9th birthday, Rachel had the simple idea to raise $300 for people in the world without clean water. This money would give 15 people clean water.
Tragically, 2 weeks ago, Rachel died in a car accident. However, since then, her campaign has raised over $750,000 and has already given clean water to more than 39,000 people!
I am absolutely stunned by this story.

I strongly encourage you to give to her campaign. Her heart for others and willingness to sacrifice has changed countless lives around the world.
No matter what your age, or perceived abilities, through the power of Christ we can truly be agents of love and reconciliation in this world. This little girl is an absolute inspiration.
