I underestimate the worth of clean drinking water. At my tap, water free of disease-causing bacteria waits for my cup. I’ve lived my entire life with no concern for the water I drink.

Not the case for much of the world. Many people drink dirty water every day. Children suffer from diarrhea, endure constant stomach aches and die from bad water. Older people deal with intestinal ailments and shortened lives. This water crisis exists outside my view, and so I miss the scope of suffering.

Today I’m with a group in Guatemala confronting dirty water. We’re working with Filter of Hope, an organization that believes:

No one should have to live without clean drinking water.
Everyone deserves the opportunity to know Christ personally.

Thirsty, Jesus encountered a women at a well. He asked her for a drink of water, then went on to say, if you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.

People everywhere deserve clean water to drink and living water leading to eternal life. In working with Filter of Hope we attempt to provide both.

Please join me in praying for these efforts to bring both fresh water and eternal life to thirsty people around the world.
