In case you are wondering why I do what I do... http://africa.reuters.com/wire/news/usnL25447044.html

1 billion people all over the world live with out access to clean water including the 13 million living in Mexico's border regions. 2.4 billion worldwide are without proper drainage and sanitation. I know how much our economy is suffering from high gas prices, I drive 20 minutes to work myself, but when I see these staggering numbers I can't help but think that I know nothing of suffering.

16"Never again will they hunger;
never again will they thirst.
The sun will not beat upon them,
nor any scorching heat.
17For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd;
he will lead them to springs of living water.
And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."
- Revelation 7:16-17

9"This, then, is how you should pray:
" 'Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
10your kingdom come,
your will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
11Give us today our daily bread.
- Matthew 6:9-11

Jesus, this is my prayer. I know that this earth is but a shadow of your Kingdom to come yet "on earth as it is in heaven". Let us be your instruments to lead them to streams of living water and wipe away every tear. Daddy, they are thirsty. Can I have some of your good water to give them?

The training and the work that I have put in so far at Amor has been featured on the founder's (Scott) blog page. Check it out.
