Believing Jesus Christ is the only Way, the Truth and the Life (John 14:6, Colossians 3:4), our mission is to proclaim the Gospel to the lost, and to meet the physical needs of the people we serve by following the example of Jesus in His earthly ministry (Matthew 4:23, 24; John 4:14; Luke 4:18) through leading volunteers on short-term missions trips to serve in medical clinics and well drilling projects. Through these projects, Life Water Medical Ministries is committed to helping mission trip volunteers fulfill the good works God has prepared for their lives (Ephesians 2:10).
TRANSFORMING LIVES - CHANGING HEARTS
Every day 5,500 children across 21 countries in Eastern & Southern Africa die before they reach their fifth birthday. The leading cause of this mortality is malaria.
In sub-Saharan Africa, almost 50% of the children (& their parents) drink unsafe water causing millions to suffer from water borne illnesses.* Malaria & most water borne illnesses are easily treated with inexpensive medications. However, extreme poverty prevents most families from securing these treatments. Through the provision of medical treatment and clean water, we can significantly impact the health and mortality of the people we serve in Africa. Though the physical needs in Africa are great, more important and more burdensome are the spiritual needs. While some of the disease may recur and in fact some diseases can not be cured, we can offer the only true healing, the Living Water: the gift of salvation.
