Christmas isn’t a destination, it’s a journey. While we are waiting for the birth of our Savior, we don’t have to wait until Christmas to find him in all the little things. Maybe it’s a cozy Christmas movie on the couch, lighting the Advent wreath with your family, wrapping presents, impromptu hot chocolate with friends. Sometimes it’s the simplest things that show us the spirit of Christmas.

This Christmas Eve, as we have since 2009, The Gathering will give away our entire offering to build safe water wells in Mozambique.  To date, we've invested almost $3 million dollars to build nearly 200 wells throughout the country. Access to safe water means the difference between people spending all day, every day, walking miles to get water and simply having time to live their lives. Let’s make this Christmas Eve another record-breaking year so we can keep giving the life-changing gift of safe, easily accessible water to our siblings in Mozambique!
