Message from Valentine
Would you drink stagnant water like this? Neither would I. But to many people in Asia, this is their drinking water!
"In South Asia, finding water that will not cause death in the family is a difficult challenge many face. Women and children are forced to walk hours a day to find water sources such as filthy ponds or lakes, which are oftentimes contaminated with waterborne illnesses. Sometimes they know this will bring death and sickness to their families, but they have no other option. 3.4 million people die each year from water-related diseases. That’s almost the entire city of Los Angeles. Diarrhea is the second leading cause of death among children under five in the world. Around 1.5 million deaths a year, nearly one in five, are caused by diarrhea, which kills more children than malaria, AIDS, and measles combined. Globally, women spend 200 million hours a day collecting water. This is equivalent to building 28 Empire State Buildings each day." (Gospel For Asia).
JOIN me in raising enough money to help build a Jesus Well! Even $5 is a huge blessing! This is just a tiny way to bless and help with a physical need, and it carries with it the potential to help people find the fulfillment of all spiritual needs in Christ Jesus.
Thank you!
*note: have been doing this campaign for almost two years, in that time, we've used it for bdays and celebrations. So, its not for a bday right now, just to raise funds. :) just fyi. Thanks!
“For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; he will lead them to springs of living water. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.” - Revelation 7:17
About Jesus Wells
Read below to learn about where donations go.
Jesus Wells increase the health standards of a village, allowing for children to be nourished and animals to be watered. The wells you provide are located in the village or community, so women and children no longer have to walk hours to find water.
With one well you can save an entire village from waterborne illnesses.
Unlike the dirty water from stagnant ponds, streams or old shallow wells, this water is clean and creates an awareness of good hygiene, leading to fewer medical problems and healthier people.
