.: free water…
So… I got a totally random phone call on Wednesday the 12th from some guy named Phil from some company called Aquasis. Phil had discovered my info online and was contacting me because he needed me to hook him up with one of my high skool students who could help him display some signage at a little concert that they were sponsoring in Salisbury.
I said that I would make a few calls and find him a responsible student who could partner with his company to hang a some signs before the show, and then take them down afterwards. It just so happens that the little concert actually turned out to be a national tour that is headlined by a little band called Casting Crowns. The tour also featured one of my favorite bands right now… Leeland.
In the end, Mitchell Melton literally “jumped” at the opportunity to help Phil and the good people of Aquasis… and in return he got a sweet-action backstage pass… and the Weavers got a pair of tickets to catch the show from some great seats at the Wicomico Civic Center. In the process, we were able to hang out with several of our students who were also attending the show with their families.
In my research since the show, I have discovered that Aquasis is a great ministry (and much more than the hookup for free tickets and backstage passes… hahaa) that is partnering with World Vision to install water wells in third world countries all over the world. You can check out their vision for reaching the world with the Message of Christ’s love by first providing them with clean drinking water by watching this video.
It is our plan to begin carrying Aquasis water in our AM/SM Lounge because I believe in the mission of World Vision… and now I believe in the mission of Aquasis.
A candid moment with Tyler Ringer at the show.
