Jars of Clay to Host Blood:Water Mission Fundraiser

Jars of Clay will be performing at Greer Stadium on August 8th to raise money and awareness for their non-profit organization Blood:Water Mission with funds specifically going to the Ochieng' Memorial Lwala Community Health Center in Lwala, Kenya.
The clinic in Lwala was birthed out of two Vanderbilt Medical Students’ father’s dream for his community. After his death from AIDS his sons carried on his dream. "Our parents' deaths were hard, and disheartening, but it made us realize even more how much we could help, how fortunate we are to have all of this support, and how special this clinic is,” says Fred Ochieng’.  Brother Milton says, "For me, it symbolizes the hope that we have in Lwala, in Kenya, and in all of Africa, that despite all the obstacles, when people share a vision, they can make a difference. We've come this far, and we started from nothing. There are a lot of people who aren't that lucky."
This night will be Jars of Clay’s 3rd Faith Night to benefit Blood:Water Mission, specifically the clinic and water needs in Lwala, Kenya.
The Faith Night will also feature a performance by singer-songwriter Christopher Williams. Various items will be auctioned and raffled off throughout the night. The gates will open at 5:30 pm with the concert beginning then as well.
Blood:Water Mission is a non-profit organization founded by the members of Jars of Clay to address the HIV/AIDS and water crisis in Africa.
