Financial Statement

2009-02-04T12:41:00.003-06:00

Hello Friends,

We pray you all are doing well. To the left I have pasted a copy of our year end financial statement prepared by our Treasurer. As you can see it was a great 4 or 5 months for us!!!! We feel so blessed to have been able to raise as much as we did. We will be sending our first big check to Blood:Water Mission this month. We plan on sending a quarterly check every quarter after this one.

Another thing you will notice is that we did have a substantial amount of Start-up costs which will not be in play this year and any year after. We will possibly have some "Promotional" cost. This would mostly be shirts.

We want to make sure that anyone who has given or wants to give, knows that we are and will be completely transparent with our financials. We will always give away 100% of any monies raised in our efforts. That is our whole mission. Our goal this year is to raise $12,000 so we can build 4 wells. It is a lofty goal, but we feel that we can accomplish this together. With events like concerts and fundraisers, the future holds no limits on what we can do...or better stated, how many lives we can help.

Thank you so much to everyone who has bought our water or has donated to the cause. Please know that your money is going to a truly worthy cause...to save a life.

If you ever have any questions about our financials or anything with Water 4 Water, please feel free to contact me at jmpobst@gmail.com.

God Bless

Merry Christmas

Now is the Time

2008-07-23T09:47:00.003-05:00

Now is the Time. It's the time to send a mass email to everyone in your address book. It's the time to call someone you haven't told about the movement. It's the time to take action. It's the time to not hold back, to not be scared, to not let the enemy slow you down.

I urge you to take 5 minutes today to spread the word. We are literally days away from the water being physically here and ready to be sold. Let's take advantage of these last couple days.

God Bless
