Two MLB Pitchers Invest in Their Homeland
September 12, 2017
“I remember people getting sick and just accepting it as part of life, but now I see that it was because of the water they drank,” says Jaime.
For the past two years, his generosity has transformed six communities and bolstered the Water Mission country program’s capabilities. He enjoys visiting and engaging with the recipients of his projects, and shares his personal testimony as a powerful witness of his faith in action.
Earlier this year, Jaime introduced his good friend and countryman, Kansas City Royals pitcher Joakim Soria, to Water Mission. A native of Monclova, Joakim is also sympathetic to the daily struggle of the Mexican people, having seen it firsthand. He and his family immediately asked how they could help and are now funding three community projects.

“God gives us many blessings so we can share them with others,” says Joakim.
The way both men give of themselves and their resources demonstrates their commitment to serving others. Both strongly believe that the love of God conveyed through Water Mission’s work in Mexico offers lasting hope and opportunity for people there. Johny Bermudez, Country Program Director of Water Mission Mexico, and his team consistently share the Living Water message with people in the communities we are serving.
Water Mission is grateful for these two unique investors who have made it a priority to serve their fellow countrymen with safe and Living Water that is transforming thousands of lives.
