MAKE A $30 DONATION.  FIGHT RACISM.  GET A SHIRT.

Racism is real.  Racism is also sin.  As people of faith compelled by Jesus to love our neighbors, the work of fighting racism runs parallel to the liberation we find in the cross of Christ.  At Living Water Ministries, our mission calls us to bring together all of God’s children.  In pursuit of this mission, we are intentional about how we develop and implement our programs, our staff, and our partnerships.  One of the most profound ways we have joined the fight against racism is through our Bridge Builders camp program that trains high school students as leaders equipped to fight racism as an expression of faith.  Learn more about our Bridge Builders week-long camp program.

This summer, the pandemic has resulted in the cancellation of our summer season.  Despite this cancellation, racism unfortunately persists.  Against the backdrop of the murder of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and others the work of Bridge Builders has never felt more necessary than it does today.  Once this pandemic settles, and we are able to again bring together all of God’s children, we will be amplifying the important work of our Bridge Builder program and we need your help.  Proceeds from a $30 donation made to support our Bridge Builder program will go to offset travel expenses for campers that attend from all over the United States, and other program costs.  In return for your $30 donation, you will receive an exclusive “BE A LEADER. FIGHT RACISM” t-shirt usually only obtained through attendance at Bridge Builders.
