We use it without thinking. It's almost like the air we breathe or the electricity in our house, and if it were gone... our lives would drastically change. Water. Not only water, but clean water-- non-toxic, thirst-quenching, soul satisfying water.
Through a specific water filtration system that our friends in Cambodia have developed, they are reaching hundreds and thousands of people by meeting the most physical of needs. What we take for granted, the Cambodians thirst for and they don't even know it. They don't know why they get sick or why they have chronic headaches, but the answer is as simple as the most necessary of substances: clean water.
What a beautiful picture! Water is providing the way for sharing the love of Christ and His message for mankind. Just as they don't realize why they get sick or why their water is unsatisfying physically, they don't realize why their lives as a whole are unsatisfying spiritually. They continue to feel empty; their spiritual attempts to find meaning in this world continue to make them feel dry and parched. They are "thirsty" and they don't know why.
For as Jesus said to the Samaritan woman, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. The water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life." - John 4:13-14
Prayer Requests:
1.) Pray that the Holy Spirit will continue to give the Cambodians a strong thirst for the gospel message.
2.) Pray for the physical needs of Cambodia and that we could be the true hands and feet of Christ as we try to meet them.
3.) Pray for our friends and that God would continue to give them the creativity to find ways to impact their neighbors.
4.) Pray that as Jesus Christ's body, sharing His message would be a necessity in our lives everyday.
