Is it really more of a blessing to give than to receive, like Jesus said???
Of course! But most of us might readily admit that our lives are not always a very good reflection of that. So, in an effort to follow Christ's example, a few of us have come together to give to some of the people in greatest need...and provide a way for others to join us.
Around the world (especially in areas where people are separated by class), groups of people are labeled as "untouchables" and are not allowed to access or share local, life-sustaining resources. These people must daily walk for hours just to find a source of water, which is often dirty and full of bacteria. In many cases, they are forced to eat from trash dumps and areas that are used for bodily waste because they are not even allowed to beg for food or money in public.
Our goal is to raise $2800 so our partner organization (Gospel for Asia) can build two centrally located wells which will make clean water available to hundreds of men, women, and children.
Each well also displays a plaque with a reference to the living water that Christ provides, and is near a church or home of a missionary where people can receive Biblical guidance and prayer.
If just a few of us come together we can make a life- changing difference for people who so desperately need it. Better than that, we can make an eternal impact on people who have never even heard of Jesus or the love that God has for them.
Please take two minutes to watch our video, share this with others in your social media circles, and help us make a difference. No donation is too small, and will help us get one step closer to our goal.
Thank you for your love and support.
~ "In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus Himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’" -Acts 20:35
About Jesus Wells
Read below to learn about where donations go.
Jesus Wells increase the health standards of a village, allowing for children to be nourished and animals to be watered. The wells you provide are located in the village or community, so women and children no longer have to walk hours to find water.
With one well you can save an entire village from waterborne illnesses.
Unlike the dirty water from stagnant ponds, streams or old shallow wells, this water is clean and creates an awareness of good hygiene, leading to fewer medical problems and healthier people.
