Our Partner e3partners made another mission trip to 3 villages in India

On this trip Al and his team shared the gospel of Jesus with the people in 3 villages: Karcha, Khareta and Modipurva along with supplying the families water filters. In one of the villages, the police was in the process of kicking them out, until they showed them that they were there providing safe drinking water to the people….God is good.

India’s enormous and growing population is putting a severe strain on all of the country’s natural resources. Most water sources are contaminated by sewage and agricultural runoff. The World Bank estimates that 23% of communicable diseases in India are related to unsafe water. Diarrhea alone causes more than 1,600 deaths daily—the same as if eight 200-person jumbo-jets crashed to the ground each day. Most of these daily deaths are children under 5 years old.

As is the case all over India, the water that was accessible to the people in the villages they visited contained many contaminates which causes many of the local diseases.

Water4Life Ministry’s early strategy the first half of 2011, has been to partner with as many mission organizations as possible, supplying the first mission team with each organization with a few of the life saving Sawyer water filters. Then get feedback as to how many filters each mission organization can deploy in the world for the second half of 2011. Then Water4Life Ministry will go out and do everything possible to raise as much funding as possible to supply as many filters as possible to these wonderful mission organizations to take all over the world, helping to save children/lives where they go.

This is real. This is not just a number on a page. These are real people, real children, dying every day because of a lack of safe drinking water.

Thanks for caring enough to save lives through your donation to provide the water purification filters to children and families in India. It is great to bless these families both with physical water and living water as they learn about Jesus and put their faith in Him. Your involvement will make a big impact on lives in India!
