Our Mission ...

... Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, Rivers of Living Water will flow from within them.

~ John 7:37-38

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Feb 15th, 2011 ... 

I had  this dream  

"... Masses of people were climbing up the side of the Rock and were hanging on by holding on to the rocks jetting out from the wall.

Then suddenly, like someone turned on this huge faucet ... water gushed out over the mountain like a mighty, rushing waterfall. The people hung there, reveling  in it.

Then after about a minute or so, the water turned off again. The people were laughing and thoroughly enjoying the fresh, cold water. 

It happened again and again, like someone was turning on and off a huge faucet ... a massive waterfall of white-water. 

There was a huge pool at the bottom and people were swimming and playing in the pool, in the cool, clean, fresh water."

Our organization was born out of a desire to follow God.  Jesus said, "I only do what I see the Father doing."  We totally agree.  We have seen the Lord go before us and open doors.  He has invited us to partner with Him.  His heart is towards the Orphans and Widows.

 

"Religion that God our Father accepts 

as pure and faultless is this:  

to look after Orphans and Widows in their distress 

and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." 

~ James 1:27

 

 

In 2010, along with thousands of other families, the founders adopted 3 children from Ethiopia.  These beautiful children live in conditions that are unheard of in our country.  Even the poorest of poor in the US, live better than the majority of people in Ethiopia.  

 

 

It has been estimated that there are over 147 million orphans in the world. In Ethiopia, out of a population of 78 million, 4.8 million are orphans.  The highest life expectancy is an average of 50 years.  

 

But most children don't make it past their first birthday, due to malnourishment, malaria and HIV/AIDS.  The ones who do make it, many of those die before their 5th birthday, often due to the lack of clean water and malnutrition.  Many die from diarrhea, caused by parasites and worms from drinking dirty water.  

 

They need hope. 

 

 

Women are abandoned or lose husbands to death.  Many are poor  or sick themselves and are unable to care for their own children. 

 

  They need help.

 

 

"Once our eyes are opened, we can't pretend we don't know what to do. God who keeps our hearts and weighs our souls, knows that we know and holds us responsible to act."

~  Proverbs 24:12

 

Our heart's desire has become to help Orphans and Widows in need, wherever the Lord leads us.  And He is leading us right back to Ethiopia.  

 

 

With His help, our Mission is:

 

  To help Orphans and Widows in Need, both domestically and internationally. 

 

 

  To provide Clean Water by placing water wells and clean water solutions where there is the greatest of need, in the remote villages.

 

 

  To offer Living Water by bringing the Good News of Jesus Christ to children and families in these villages, by evangelism, planting Christian churches and sending trained in-country missionary pastors out to serve.

 

 

  To help find sponsors for Orphaned Children.  To find Christian Homes and place them in families, so that their social, economic, physical and spiritual needs will be met. 

 

 

  To offer hope and a future to widows, by way of donations and grants for Micro Businesses.

 

 

  To organize and send Mission Teams to villages and orphanages with clothing, shoes, supplies, and help for the ones who remain.

 

 

  To eliminate the financial barrier by offering Adoption grants for Christian families who have the desire to open their hearts and home to adopt orphans.

 

 

  To pray for the sick, and see them get healed.

 

 

  To offer a cup of water in Jesus' name. 

 

 

  To be the hands and feet of Jesus.

... Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God ... you would have asked and he would have given you Living Water ... Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”

~ John 4:11,13

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Quote by

 Reinhard Bonnke

"The prophet Ezekiel saw the Holy Spirit - experienced in a vision. He saw a river with its source in the house of God.  

Ezekiel saw the waters became a deep river into which swimmers could plunge. 

God does not create puddles, ponds, or ankle-deep witness. God does not plan to make us damp; 

He wants us to be immersed in blessing, with water over our head, rollicking, reveling, full of fun and joy."
