World Health Organization reports that some 884 million people lack access to clean, safe drinking water and there is an answer The Bucket Ministry.. How do you provide clean and safe drinking water to 884 million around?
What is The Bucket Ministry™?
In the summer of 2012 we had an opportunity to be on mission on the Amazon River in Brazil.
With a quick backwashing of the filter daily it will continue to deliver clean, safe, drinking water for 20-plus years.
As part of The Bucket Ministry™ program we teach each family that receives and bucket how to clean the filter and many are asked to demonstrate to their peers so we can be assured they understand how to complete the task.
Our teams deliver introductory training, initially, on sanitation and hygiene and then our follow up teams will go into much more detail.
So just giving them clean water is not enough.
Many pastors that we work with consider the follow up to be one of the best parts of the ministry as it gives them an “open door” to return to the home of the recipient to continue the relationship.
Perhaps something as simple as sharing our social media posts will tell the story of God’s work in this ministry to many more people.
The only thing we ask in return is that you share the story with others and that you join us in sharing God love through the gift of clean, safe drinking water.
