| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Storytellers Live podcast where everyday people share real and personal stories of encounters with God. |
| 0:11.1 | I'm your host Robin and I am here with Lindy, Katie, and special guest Dawn has returned. |
| 0:18.0 | We have a story today that we just knew that Dawn's voice was really important to be a part of. |
| 0:24.1 | And so we're thrilled that she's coming back. |
| 0:26.9 | So today we have Salem and she is from Birmingham. |
| 0:30.8 | And Salem has been on our list of potential storytellers for what? |
| 0:35.0 | A long time. |
| 0:35.6 | Three years. |
| 0:36.8 | Yeah. And one of the one of the real exciting and neat things about this quarantine and this period |
| 0:43.4 | where we can't have live gatherings is that we're able to call these women whose |

| 1:27.0 | Before we start today's story, we want to tell you all about a new partnership that we are so excited about. Never Thirst. It's a ministry based out of Birmingham that brings clean water to the most remote villages in the world. And they reached out to us wanting a long-term partnership over the next few months. I know. We are so excited about it. One of the things that just really spoke to me when we met with them and they were telling |
| 1:46.8 | us about their mission is I've been to Africa, several occasions. I know the need for clean water |
| 1:52.0 | and I know the burden that is placed on women and they're addressing those two specific issues. |
| 1:56.8 | Yes. And it is the woman in the villages that is tasked with providing water for their families. |
