Who Needs Clean Water?

No one understood what was causing the illness and premature deaths in their village. People used polluted, muddy water for everything, including cooking, not knowing the disease living in the water would harm them.

But a Gospel for Asia women's team changed that. These women brought a message of life to the village in two ways: Teaching the villagers how to have good sanitation and pointing them to eternal life in Jesus.

BioSand Water Filters and Jesus Wells

BioSand water filters were also distributed to the families in this village. Now the filters are providing clean, safe water—something they never had access to before.

Throughout Asia, countless villagers in rural areas have no source of good water. With a BioSand filter for a family or a Jesus Well for an entire village, you can provide the most basic human necessity and, at the same time, point people to true life in Christ.

Share clean water with a desperately poor family in Asia, and at the same time, let them know that Jesus cares about them.

What Christine thought about Jesus Wells ...

My devotion this morning was about "She Did What She Could
(the Gospel of Mark, chapter 14)."

We can't do everything, and sometimes the small gifts we CAN give seem so little compared to the Cost of the Need. I gave what I could. And that is my offering to the Lord. Also, it touched me to know that so much goodness in community happens around wells, even in biblical days. To give water, an ESSENTIAL element of life (a convenience we take for granted/expect in the US), is a decent thing to give.

The title, "Jesus Well," makes me think about all the biblical accounts of Jesus at the well. That's where God in the flesh, knelt down, drew in the sand, as each angry person reconciled themselves to their own sins, dropping the rocks intended to kill, and walked away. Then Jesus stood up, looked the woman in the eye and asked, "Who is left to condemn you?" "No one," she said. "Then neither do I. Go and sin no more." I pray the Jesus well will not only be a place where people can go and get clean water, but a place where people meet their Savior. God bless your ministries. "
