If one bottle of water can make one less thirsty, what can 20,000 bottles do?

If one bottle of water can make one less thirsty, what can a 20,000 bottles do? This is just an opportunity we have at Christian Service Mission, not only help one person but we have the ability to help multitudes. We cannot and do not do this alone but with volunteers, churches, and organizations walking and working alongside each other.  The words of Matthew 25:35 come to mind when thinking these 20,000 bottles:

"For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me."

20,000 bottles of water doesn't just quench the thirst, but it allows us to welcome strangers and become more than a stranger, but they become friends. We have the ability to create relationships and foster much more than thirst quenching--we can help foster spiritual growth.  

So this got us thinking... if one hammer can help make a dent for one home, what can 1,000 hammers do?   Those hammers mean nothing without the action  We all have the ability to not just make a dent but make a difference.  What can we do with those 1,000 hammers and 1,000 people? How many homes can be rebuilt?  How many relationships can be formed and how many people can walk together through the process of restoration and recovery?  


What can we do together what we cannot do alone?
