Safe Water

 

Are you following the instructions for frequent hand-washing?

What if there’s no clean water?

 

According to charity: water, 785 million people in our world lack access to safe water:

“That’s nearly 1 in 10 people worldwide. Or, twice the population of the United States. The majority live in isolated rural areas and spend hours every day walking to collect water for their family. Not only does walking for water keep children out of school or take up time that parents could be using to earn money, but the water often carries diseases that can make everyone sick.”

May 16 is World Vision’s Global 6K for Water, a virtual fundraiser for desperately needed clean-water projects.

Walk, give, pray:

Lord Jesus, You are our Living Water.  We pray for these people who live without clean water. Meet their needs–provide the means to collect rainwater, dig wells, install filters, redirect waste and protect resources. Show each of us how we can virtually offer a cup of clean, cold water, in Your name.
