Dear Volunteers,
What a year! 2018 was full of challenges and victories around the world. Because of you, hundreds of communities experienced radical transformation through the blessing of safe water. Click here for a recap of the year’s highlights from Water Mission co-founder Molly Greene.
2019 is now upon us, and with it springs hope for an even brighter future. This future is not only available in our own lives through the love of Christ, but it is also available for the many communities we will engage around the world thanks to your partnership.
Remember not the former things,
nor consider the things of old.
Behold, I am doing a new thing;
now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?
I will make a way in the wilderness
and rivers in the desert.
Isaiah 43:18–19
Read on for ways to engage with Water Mission in January. And while you're making those New Year's resolutions, go ahead and save the date for our biggest event of 2019 — the 13th annual Charleston Walk for Water on March 30, 2019! Sign up to volunteer today.
Blessings,
Bonnie Hanna
