An average American household consumes over 300 gallons daily. 40% of Navajo families residing on a reservation the size of West Virginia struggle to survive on less than 10 gallons of water per day. Yearly St. Bonaventure Indian Mission and School delivers over 1.5 million gallons of clean water to these families.

Send them to ouramericanstories.com. They're some of our favorites. If you want to know about the history of America, It's imperative that you know the role that the Bible played. in the shaping of our country. Our founding fathers, both Christian and non-Christian.
were heavily influenced by the Bible. You to share another story? is Robert Morgan, who is the author of 100 Bible Verses that Made America. defining moments that shaped our enduring foundation of faith. Take it away, Robert.
I vividly remember Christmas Eve of 1968. I was a high school student preparing for college in troubled times. The Vietnam War was ripping America to pieces. Campuses were battle zones. Cities burned from race riots.
and the land was violent. I registered with the local draft board and worried about my future. Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy had been slain.
Lyndon Johnson abandoned hopes for re-election. The Democratic National Convention in Chicago was engulfed in tear gas. and in November Richard Nixon won the presidency. but the Soviet Union was threatening America. both on Earth and in space.
On December 21st, A Saturn V rocket lifted off with Frank Borman, Jim Lovell, and Bill Anders strapped into a small capsule known as Apollo 8. Three, two, one. All engines running. Launch commit. Many within the NASA community wondered if they would ever return.
Experts gave the mission a 50-50 chance of success. and Frank Borman's wife, Susan, prepared his eulogy.
Some officials worried openly that if the astronauts perished in lunar orbit, no one would ever look at the moon or at Christmas in the same way. But John F. Kennedy had set a deadline to take men to the moon by the end of the decade, and NASA was determined to keep it. The astronauts traveled faster and further than anyone before them in history. And we effectively won the space race as Americans.
As Frank Borman gazed out the window at the receding marble of earth, he thought to himself, This must be what God sees. Robert Kerson wrote in his book, Rocket Man. To Anders, Earth appeared as a Christmas tree ornament. hung radiant blue and swirling while in an endless black night. From there, it was no longer possible to pick out countries or even continents.
All a person could see was the earth, and it occurred to Anders in this last week of 1968. this terrible year for America and the world. that once you can see the boundaries, you started to see something different. You saw how small the planet is, how close all of us are to one another. And how the only thing any of us have in an otherwise empty universe.
as each other. On Christmas Eve, We all stopped our suppers and celebrations. And gather around our television sets for one of the most extraordinary moments in television. A worldwide broadcast from lunar orbit. No one knew what the astronauts would say.
Not even mission control. but at 8.30 Central Time, The American networks interrupted their programming as grainy black-and-white images appeared on the screen. Through the static of space. Borman said. That's just a Paulo Aeta coming to you alive with the boat.
We all heard that, though we could hardly believe it. The men aim their camera At the moon, at the earth, and at the stars as they described their sights and their sensations. Then Anders said, We are now approaching uh lunar sunrise and uh for all the people back on Earth, the crew of Apollo 8 has a message that we would like to send to you. And then he began reading from Genesis 1. In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth, and the earth was without form, and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep.
One by one, The astronauts passed. Passed a fireproof copy of Genesis chapter one, taken from a Gideon Bible. and they read the creation account. And God said, Let there be light. And there was light.
And God saw the light. Then it was good. And divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light day, and the darkness he called night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters. And let it divide the waters from the waters. And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament, and the waters which were above the firmament. And it was so. And God called the firmament heaven, and the evening and the morning were the second day.
And God said, Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear, and it was so. And God called the dry land earth, and the gathering together of the waters called the earth.
Well, after Borman finished verse 10, He ended the broadcast saying And from the crew of Apollo 8, we close with good night, good luck, a Merry Christmas, and God bless all of you, all of you on the good earth. In mission control, scientists and engineers openly wept. We all wept. An estimated 1 billion people in 64 countries had heard the message. and all around the world men and women and children went outside and gazed into the sky, wondering at the words and sights, we have just witnessed from 240,000 miles away.
And a terrific job on the production and editing by our own Greg Hengler. And a special thanks to Robert Morgan, who's the author of 100 Bible Verses That Made America. defining moments that shaped our enduring foundation of faith.
