Agua Viva: October 2012

Agua Viva is an opportunity for the body of Christ to work together and provide clean drinking water to men, women, and children who live in extreme poverty. We pray and believe lives will be changed as the love of Jesus Christ is revealed through meeting their physical need.

As followers of Christ we are called to help those who cannot help themselves. "Jesus said, 'Truly I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me'" Matthew 25:40

Supporting Agua Viva is an opportunity to put our faith into action, to be a voice for those who can't speak up, and to go out into the world to show the love of Christ. You can make a difference and provide hope for the lives of widows, orphans, and those less fortunate people in countries who have little to no hope themselves.

Our prayer is that by meeting a physical need, we will be able to share the gospel and point people to the one true Savior. Join us as we seek to provide clean water for those in need in the name of Jesus Christ. For God's namesake and His Glory!

If you would like to get involved or if you would like to schedule someone to come and speak at your church/event to learn how you can join others in this project, please email Josh at andrewsfam@charter.net

Our Mission Team was blessed to be a part of a Well dedication at El Cacao on Thursday, September 20, 2012. It was amazing to see how joyful people were to receive clean water. I know I have never rejoiced over water like this and it was a true blessing to see how God had provided the most basic of needs to these people through this dedication. May God bless the people of El Cacao and our prayer is that this water will lead more people in this village to the Lord Jesus Christ.

We love because he first loved us. If any says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen. And this commandment we have from him: whoever loves God must also love his brother.

1 John 4:19-21 (ESV)
