Final JW Advent Conspiracy Video + News
Andy Michael, our own resident Welshman, has been putting together amazing little films for the Jacob's Well community for a couple of years. Some of you will remember three films he made during Advent last year. You can refresh your memory or see Andy's artistry for the first time here.
Throughout the Advent season this year Andy chronicled our liturgical observance as we joined the Advent Conspiracy. He then assembled his footage and an amazing collection of other images, ideas, and music together into the video that we showed on Epiphany Sunday (January 6). This was also the Sunday that we revealed to the JW community the amount collected for redistribution for fresh water.
After showing the film we then announced that our church community, and many people that surround our church community, contributed $65,000 towards fresh water for communities without access to this basic human need - specifically, people living in the Pokot region on NW Kenya. Amazing...and money is still coming in. In partnership with Living Water International and a few other communities of faith who also participated in the Advent Conspiracy it looks like we are going to be able to dig the five wells necessary to allow this group of people to become settled. That is good news. I will be continuing to provide updates on this in the near future.
In the meantime, here is the video summary of the Advent Conspiracy at Jacob's Well. Andy sent me a link to the video that is hosted at a high quality on his website. It takes awhile to load because of the size of the file, but it is worth the wait.
If you want a lo-res/quick-to-download version, then here is the same video that I uploaded to YouTube. By the way, the opening music is from Don Chaffer's wildly creative alter-ego band, The Khrusty Brothers.
That is good news. It will be continuing and to provide updates on this in the near future.
