Well Project

ICE CREAM.

Did you know that Americans spend $30 billion a year on ice cream alone? Only $23 BILLION is needed to build a well in EVERY place where there is no clean water.

Burkina Faso, West Africa

A PLACE WHERE
women and children walk an average of four miles ONE WAY to get water.

A PLACE WHERE
people eat boiled mud and wood just to quiet their hungry bellies.

A PLACE WHERE
one in every three children dies of disease and malnourishment before the age of 10—most deaths would have been prevented if only there had been access to water—clean water.

2 Cor. 5:14—Christ’s love compels us…

• to raise as much money as we can ... to build as many wells as we can
• to stamp out poverty, hunger and disease for as many people in Burkina Faso as we can

Jesus loved BIG. He gave up his life for us. So we love BIG back—giving all we can so these precious people in Burkina Faso can have water; water that gives life, not takes it away. We can’t do it without YOU. What will you sacrifice so they can live? Will you help us build wells in Burkina?
