Nepal emergency relief: clean water is reaching families now.See field updates

Clean water + the Gospel

Health for today. Hope for tomorrow.

More than two billion people drink dirty water. Even more haven't heard about Jesus, the Living Water. One $50 filter gives a family both, right in their home.

$50 = clean water for one family for 10 years

The need

Two crises. One visit.

2B+ people drink contaminated water

Thousands of children die every week because they drink dirty water. And over 4 billion people face eternity separated from God.

We wouldn't give this kind of water to our pets, much less our children. But it doesn't have to be this way.

Our approach

Why filters, not wells?

A clean well can still make a family sick. Water gets dirty in the bucket on the walk home. Our filter cleans water right where people drink it.

It needs no electricity and no spare parts. It fits in a quart-sized bag, installs in about 15 minutes, and removes 100% of harmful bacteria for 10 years.

God Has Made Me New!

Carmen was very unhappy. She was married and had children, but felt alone and empty most of the time. Then a Filter of Hope team came to her home, gave her clean water, and told her that God loved her. These are things she never expected to receive or hear.

Little Juan and the Magic Filter

If you had to evacuate your home on a moments notice, what would you take with you? Juan realized he had forgotten something very important when he fled the floods with his family. He decided to go back—and he helped many families because he did.

An Angel Among Us

If you ever want to be challenged in your faith, take a mission trip. One way a mission trip helps you grow is by working alongside the in-country partners who trust God with everything and sacrifice to obey Him. That's Pastor Veronica in a nutshell.

As Sweet as Thanksgiving “Pai”

When Pai and Moo saw the filter, they knew the people needed it. They also know how much Thai people need Jesus. The water filter provided a key link to bring Jesus to the mountain villages.

A Miracle at Hacienda San Diego

Every year, José, the local health worker in Hacienda San Diego, stockpiled medicine each year in preparation for the rainy season—when the rivers in El Salvador turn brown with dirt and contamination. People would try to ask for extra medicine or offer him bribes. But then a church gave the village water filters and clean water.

When a Forrester Can’t See the Trees, the Forest, or the Truth

Thailand is about 95% Buddhist—it's not easy to see people come to believe in Jesus. But that doesn't deter Pai. He's ready to talk to anyone, like a reluctant forrester whose eye has been injured on the job and doesn't want to follow his wife into believing in Jesus.
