Moved with compassion for others, Elyssa Strand and Mandi Moore were on two separate paths to make a difference in the lives of those in need. God interlaced their separate motivations, weaving them together to create the perfect fabric of community needed to fulfill an even bigger purpose than they’d imagined.
Elyssa Strand was given the vision of raising funds to help dig wells in Africa. Mandi Moore was given the vision of raising funds for those in need.
Mandi started a blog to raise awareness and generate momentum to involve as many people as possible, (http://www.dolivingwater.blogspot.com/). Elyssa contacted EFCA Student Ministries in Minneapolis to find out how to get more churches involved. She was pointed to Dave Bostrom who helps lead the North Central District Blitz (conference). The offering project this year’s conference just happened to be digging wells. Elyssa and Mandi were given the opportunity to share their vision with over 3,000 students at the conference in April. A record $8,500 was raised which will be given to EFCA TouchGlobal to dig wells in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Africa. And a car wash is planned in August to continue the effort!
