Day 349: Water

Several months ago, I mentioned this precious six-year-old boy at our church who has leukemia. He was in remission and then relapsed. He decided to raise money to build water wells in developing countries through The Water Project. The first go-around he raised over $16,000 and now he's back at it again.

A couple of weeks ago, it looked like he was again in remission. And then the shocking and devastating news today - the leukemia is back and this time there is no further treatment. Tomorrow he'll leave St. Jude's and come back to Abilene to spend his last few days at home. This is devastating news for Liam's family and our church family.

But it's pretty amazing to see the kind of difference a young boy can make in the world as Liam builds wells and gives life, even as his own slips away.
