Unlike most yard sales, this one isn't about getting rid of old things in order to make room for new things. This yard sale is all about raising money, and not for the church, but for an organization that is saving lives in Costa Rica. The Turning Pointe is continuing its partnership with Agua Viva Serves.

Agua Viva Gives the Gift of Clean Water

It's hard (I dare say impossible) for me to imagine not being able to get a drink of water any time I want. Whether I'm at work, at home, or at a friend's house, I assume that when I turn on a faucet, I can expect clean, safe, drinking water to come out - and that's the case for just about everyone reading this. That is NOT the case, however, for a lot of people around the world. Agua Viva (which literally means Living Water) is trying to do something about that.

Agua Viva Serves is a non-profit organization that works to provide clean, safe drinking water for rural areas of northern Costa Rica. This is done by drilling deep enough wells into the ground to reach sustainable, clean, safe water. They drilled their first well back In 2010 and it is still providing clean water today. By 2017, they had drilled more than 70 wells, providing clean water for nearly 7,000 people. Visit the Agua Viva Serves website to learn more or to donate directly to them.

Be a Part of This Life-Saving Partnership

The Turning Pointe Church has been a part of the Agua Viva Serves mission since 2017. Over the years they have sent teams to Costa Rica to assist in laying water lines and building water towers, which they will do again this summer. The Turning Pointe will also donate all of the money raised from this year's yard sale to Agua Viva Serves.
