The Life Campaign is a movement of young people who believe in creating social change. It began with a gathering of Canadian youth leaders who knew they could do more together than they could apart. And from there, it started to grow. It was all about connection, and it reached out to people of all ages. What mattered most was being able to join together to work towards a just world and a hopeful future. Today, in the simplest terms, The Life Campaign is a network of people who know that how we live at home can make a difference on the other side of the world. We’re currently focusing on clean water and education projects in countries where we have people on the ground, so that we can be the hands of Christ in places that need our help. The world is a village, after all, and we believe that we can give love. That we can give life. That we can give hope. Whether we’re working to drill a well or build a school, we know that we can make a change. We can make a difference. We can make decisions that matter. Those leaders were right, after all: we’re greater together than we are apart.
There’s nothing more fundamental than water. And there’s nothing more important. It’s 70% of the planet, after all. Simply put, water is life. Without it, we can’t survive. But even as you read this, there’s a serious water crisis around the world. The United Nations has recognized access to clean water as a human right, but more than 1 billion people can’t get the water they need. That’s one in six of us. The facts tell the story: more than 5000 children die from contaminated water every day. But that’s where The Life Campaign comes in: we’re making it our mission to raise $150,000 in 2009 to add to the $150,000 we raised last year so that we can construct at least 26 wells in 12 countries. We can’t go it alone, though, and we’re going to need your help. If we join together, we can solve one of the most serious problems facing our world today. It doesn’t take much to save a life. It doesn’t take much to save a family. It doesn’t take much to make a change. We all have a part to play, and we’d love to have you with us.
The Life Campaign is based in Canada, but our current mission is to make clean drinking water available to communities in the developing world. We’ve already installed one well in Mozambique, and we’re working on others in Guatemala, Malawi, Ghana and Zimbabwe.


With your help, we’ll finish drilling 26 wells in 12 countries by the end of this year. As the work progresses, we’ll be posting information about the projects so you can stay connected to the people and the places that your donation will be helping. The world is a small place, after all, and we’re all in this thing together. If you join us, we can give the greatest gift of all. The gift of health. The gift of hope. The gift of life.
The funds we’re raising through The Life Campaign are going directly to Emergency Relief and Development Overseas, the Canadian humanitarian organization that will be installing the wells we’re funding. If you’d like to join us, it’s simple. It doesn’t take much to save a life, and even the smallest gestures can make a significant difference.

Love the Empire Loves Life!

Thursday, February 4th, 2010 at 12:44 pm

From Pete Klassen of Love the Empire: About 5 years ago I was in an accident that almost claimed my life and it was something that changed me profoundly since. I’ve been a musician since high school and have been writing songs forever…but since that accident I wanted to be about something more then just music.

I came across Life Campaign a couple of years back by a friend that told me about them, I read up on them off their website, I watched this video that they had up. I saw their heart for human life, and to impact lives. It inspired me and awakened something inside me. It was something that I’ve wanted to be apart of for a long time…I was blessed to have a second chance at life after my accident so why not help others have a second chance at life through the talents that God has given me.

I recently came out with an album called Actions, and the whole point of it is that actions speak louder then words…I can talk all day about how I want to change the world or do something positive, but it’s another thing to actually do something. We are giving $2. from the sale of every cd to the Life Campaign!

Showing love to others that are in need of it changes their lives…but also being the one to show it continually changes your life. It makes life a little changing at times but way more exciting and fulfilling.
