The First Country Program: A Commitment to Serve and Love in Honduras

Posted October 3rd, 2019 by Water Mission.

Guest Contributor: Hector Chacon, Honduras Country Program Director When I look back at the last two decades, I am reminded of the vision first shared with me by George and Molly Greene, our beloved co-founders: that all people have clean, safe water and an opportunity to experience God’s love. I remember the first time I met George and Molly. I was serving on leadership for the Rotary Club of Tocoa, Honduras, and they had been in the country after responding to the devastation caused by Hurricane Mitch. That first meeting in 1998 led to my partnership — and treasured friendship — ... Read More

The First Sip: Honoring Molly F. Greene

Posted October 2nd, 2019 by Cinelle Barnes.

“We must maintain a position of seeking Him first and praying about everything,” said our co-founder, Molly F. Greene, in a conversation about her hopes for Water Mission. “We need to be available to the Lord.” We take to heart a belief Molly carried with her since Water Mission’s founding in 2001: that we must remain in what she referred to as “a blessable position,” a place defined by God’s call and a reliance on His provision. In fact, it was a response to God’s call to love our neighbors as ourselves that birthed our first safe water project — ... Read More

Meeting Critical Needs after Cyclone Idai

Posted June 26th, 2019 by Cinelle Barnes.

“I was totally traumatized,” said Zainabu Lesitula, a mother whose home was destroyed by Cyclone Idai. “I lost everything. When the storm hit, I felt so scared.” Zainabu and her infant son were displaced when the cyclone tore through Malawi in March 2019. They had to live with thousands of other survivors in the Namicheni displacement camp. Initially, the only water available was from a local factory, which was trucked in inconsistently. The supply was insufficient and had yet to be tested for safety or quality. “The little drips of water were not enough. To get more, we had to walk a ... Read More

An important goal of each Water Mission project is to empower every member of the community we are serving, especially the fathers. “This job is a blessing from God,” said Hildebrando Ruiz Sosa, a father of four and a water treatment system operator for Water Mission in Nina Rumi, Peru. “My family and I are very thankful to God and everyone who supports Water Mission.” Hildebrando Ruiz Sosa serves his community of Nina Rumi, Peru, as the water system operator.

National Day of Prayer: Loving One Another

Posted May 2nd, 2019 by Molly Greene, Co-founder, Chair, & Chief Stewardship Officer.

What a privilege and blessing it is to live in a country where we have the freedom to participate in a National Day of Prayer. Created in 1952 by a joint resolution of the United States Congress and signed by President Harry S. Truman, the National Day of Prayer is significant because it prompts us to remember how our founding fathers sought the wisdom of God when making decisions. Each year, the first Thursday of May is set aside as a time to pray for our nation and to come humbly before God, seeking His guidance for ... Read More

Building Up the Local Church in Mexico

Posted April 23rd, 2019 by Kausha Luna.

At the end of 2018, Water Mission’s staff in Mexico connected with ASELSI, a nonprofit organization based in Guatemala. In partnership with Water Mission, ASELSI provides basic theology training to new believers in communities we are serving with safe water projects. Our relationship with ASELSI has created opportunities for spiritual growth within the communities we serve, and birthed hope for the deeper work we wish to accomplish. At Water Mission, we aim to build up the local church as it pursues the call to proclaim and demonstrate the gospel. Our vision spans wider than water: We are working toward ... Read More
