Jars of Clay Wins Myspace IMPACT Award

MySpace.com has announced the winner of their "MySpace Impact Awards" contest for December, 2007: Blood:Water Mission. For those unfamiliar with Blood:Water, the organization was founded by the Jars Of Clay guys several years ago to fight the poverty and sickness in Africa. Also, the winner of "MySpace Impact Awards" receives $10,000 in support. MySpace posted the following on their site:

"Blood: Water Mission is privileged to be a part of two rescues. The first is the tangible rescue from disease and poverty that plagues so many communities in Africa. We do this by supporting Africans as they use their knowledge and wisdom of their people, geography and customs, to create sustainable ways to rise out of poverty. The other rescue is the one that happens in the West: we, the chronically wealthy, being rescued from our trivia. We are helping people become aware of their choices, and how they affect people across oceans. It is an honor to win this award. The MySpace community is a fertile place to grow the seeds of justice, compassion, love and action."
