Central Asia (MNN) — For many organizations, being allowed into a Muslim country to do ministry is nearly impossible. But, being allowed in isn’t the problem facing Living Water International. Money can clear the way for a ministry to go to work in a number of Muslim countries.

Living Water’s Jerry Wiles. “We have some inroads to do some projects in Iraq and Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Mongolia. And, those would all be brand new areas that we have not worked in before. It’s time and money. Because if we have enough money to go into those areas, we can do it, because we have the technology, we have the people, we have all the other resources available.”

According to Wiles they do have the invitations. “Invitations continue to come in,” says Wiles. He says, “We have about 10 times more requests than we can meet right now.”

Wiles says they’ll be providing more than just clean water. “So, while we’re primarily involved in drilling water wells and providing integrated water solutions, our main objective is the kingdom of God. Because, if we just provide water without taking the Gospel we’re missing what we’re all about.”

According to Wiles there are 1.1 billion people worldwide who need clean safe drinking water.
