Water need in India still great

India (MNN) — There are 1.2 billion people without clean safe drinking water and many of them live in India. That’s why Living Water Internaitonal is involved in that Hindu nation.

President of Living Water International Jerry Wiles says many Indians aren’t allowed access to water. “In many areas, especially in rural areas, Christians in many cases are denied access to the community water supply. But, where believers are denied access to the community water supply we’re able to work with a small church plant, we will work with them in drilling a water well. They freely share their water with the other religions, which really opens the door for the Gospel.”

Ministry leaders believe this oppression isn’t expected to change much with the change of government leadership. Wiles says that’s why they need help to expand their work in India. “We’ve done well over 100 water project in India. Of course, the need is vast and we have many other requests to do water projects. We can drill a water well for about $1,200,” says Wiles.

To accomplish this, they’re working with many Christian groups, including Church planting movements. “It super charges everything in terms of evangelism and church planting as well as medical missions when you can provide a clean drinking water component,” says Wiles.

Consider what God would have you give to financially support this life sustaining outreach.
