Compassions Water For Life






In December of 2011 the Mission Committee shared with our congregation at Eagle United Methodist Church Compassions Water for Life program. Right now, almost a billion people lack access to safe drinking water. Every day over 4,000 children are dying of water-related diseases such as cholera and typhoid that are easily preventable. We were blessed to receive enough donations to provide 125 families with safe drinking water!

Each $55.00 donation provides:
· A safe water system that provides a lifetime of safe drinking water for a child and his or her family in developing countries.
· Education for improving hygiene and sanitation.
· Support for improving community water sources and sanitation where needed. All as part of Compassion’s trusted care for the whole child, releasing a child from poverty physically, emotionally, educationally and spiritually.

The water filtration system is absolutely amazing because it is so simple. To learn more about this life saving ministry:
