Walk in a Bucket™: Autumn 2013
October 24, 2013
This fall 26 Walk for Water events helped support Water Missions International's initiatives around the world.
We invite you to help us reach our goal of serving even more people through 40 walks in 2014! We are building many new resources that will equip your walk in new ways as you share about the global water crisis and how people are changing lives through Water Missions International’s safe water solutions.
A beautiful African proverb comes to mind when thinking of our Walk in a BucketTM initiative: “Alone you go fast, but together we go far!” Will you consider joining us in 2014 so that even more people will be blessed with safe drinking water?
We are so grateful for all of the Autumn 2013 Walk for Water Events. We hope to see you again next year!
