​

My church already has a mission relationship with a clinic/school/church/etc.  Can we covenant with them for an LWW water project?

​

You may propose a community with which you have an existing relationship for your LWW partnership. LWW’s in-country team will visit your requested partner to assess their potential for a sustainable water project.  LWW partners are selected for their need as well as their commitment and capacity to serve their community with clean water for the long-term.  

​

 

I know of a community that needs a well, does Living Waters for the World train for that?

​

No.  Living Waters for the World trains teams to work with communities that have available but contaminated water.  Some water teams may independently decide to pay for a well for a community, but LWW, as an organization, does not train for or engage in drilling wells.  LWW trains and supports teams in the installation of water purification systems using a process of micro-filtration and disinfection to make safe water available for consumption.

What’s Clean Water U like?  Do I need to have any special skills?

​

Clean Water U is a five-day hands-on intensive training experience in the lush, green setting of Hopewell Camp and Conference Center in Oxford, Mississippi.  Clean Water U empowers everyday people from all walks of life to lead and build a water mission team.  No special skills are required, and we believe that all who are called to this ministry have a role to play. To date, over 2,100 volunteers just like you have been trained.
