CEO Statement
In most of Latin America there is no safe drinking water. All surface water is contaminated and not fit for human consumption. Imagine as a parent having to give that contaminated water to your children to satisfy their thirst. Not because you want to, but because you have no other choice. In the developing world the drinking of contaminated water is the number one cause of death for children under the age of five, and each of those deaths is 100% preventable.
Living Water World Missions exists to share the Good News of Jesus Christ in the context of installing sustainable water purification systems for communities in need.
Our theme for our 2024 Annual Banquet was taken from John 4:14 which in the Amplified Bible says:
"...whoever drinks the water that I give him will never be thirsty again. But the water that I give him will become in him a spring of water, satisfying his thirst for God, welling up, continually flowing, bubbling within him, to eternal life."
So, what is the Living Water? Living water can be understood in various ways, but the clearest way is that living water is a symbol for salvation and a true knowledge of God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. God provides us with everything we need and is the "living water" that continues to always give to us.
It is true that clean drinking water is necessary for sustaining human life, but what is even more important is the Living Water which is necessary for eternal life. We strive to provide people in need with access to both.
Thank you for your faithful participation in the ministry. We can only do what we do because of faithful partners like you.
