Christians Tweet to Donate Drinking Water

The Christian Post reports that humanitarian efforts going viral this May. Hundreds of people on social networking sites and blogs joined the “5 Days in May” initiative for a new kind of mission effort. “Simply put, 5 Days in May is an opportunity to drink nothing but water for the first five days in May and then, as a celebration, give what you would have spent on other drinks to give water to people who do not have clean drinking water,” Shawn Wood, Experiences Pastor at Seacoast Church in South Carolina, told Collide magazine. He launched the initiative solely on social networks like Facebook and Twitter, and ending up with hundreds of followers across the Web. Participants began the effort on May 1, and concluded yesterday. “Here it is Cinco de Mayo and I’ll be drinking water all day … But it is so worth it,” “scbubba” tweeted Tuesday.
