Water Missions Internationals ministry is made possible with the gracioussupport from our volunteers and donors. Without your time, talent, andtreasure, our brothers and sisters in developing countries and disasterareas around the world would not have access to clean, safe water or havethe opportunity to hear the Living Water message.
