You think God didn't plan ahead for America consuming the amount of water it does? I thought this was a good organization, but now it sounds like a bunch of hippies. Jesus will return before God's resources will run out. God is sovereign and knew us horrible Americans who created this compassion program would consume lots of water. Do you think he is distressed over this? Do think God didn't plan ahead for this? Americans are the most generous people on planet earth. Fact not for you emotions. The most generous period! Yes we need to be good stewards, but if my business uses more water and I generate more money because of this and am able to sponsor a forth child because I am using the water good provided and God knew and made provision for this water before I was born. Am I a bad person like you want me to feel for using it? Listen folks, Jesus is returning in the not to distance future, use all the water you want, but use it to make money to sponsor more children.

It simply is not sustainable. Of course, we all know that is true but we don't always think about it in how we encourage the growth and development of young people around the world. Maybe those of us in the rich West need to take some lessons from others on how to build lives rich in relationships and less focused on material stuff.
