Would you drink from this "puddle"?

Pastor Abraham stood in front of hole partially filled with water. “I was told about a challenge with a drinking water issue, so I came to see,” he said.
 
Two leaders from a village in southeast Liberia showed Abraham what the people use as their drinking water source. Amazement showed on Abraham’s face. “You can drink this water now?” he asked as he looked at this “puddle” of water.
 
“Yeah! You can drink it!” one responded.
 
“Are you serious? Show me!” Abraham requested.
 
The two men knelt down on the muddy ground, cupping dirty-looking water into their hands to drink it. Then Abraham had to try it, so he got down by the edge of the hole and tried the water. He got up with a grimace on his face.
 
“There is a serious need here!” Abraham said.
 
Thankfully, the village was given a way to purify the water. Abraham showed them how to produce chlorine with a CPU (chlorine producing unit). “Bless God for our Magkie Foundation for providing the CPU,” he said.
 
Consider the question again: Would you drink from this “puddle”? The people in this village in Liberia have no choice, but at least now a CPU will help to make the water safe to drink.

Your Generosity Creates a Powerful Impact!

Your generosity is powerful! We see the impact of your support in smiles of joy and eyes full of hope as people are able to experience clean, safe water for the first time. With your gift, you are changing people’s lives!
 
Will you help two SWIM team members – Earl Ratcliff and Lorn Heyne? They are planning to travel to Liberia in August to deliver 50 more chlorine producing units (CPUs) to people in isolated areas to help them have clean, safe water and share the love of Jesus with them. The team there has already identified the communities by name who will benefit from receiving a CPU.
 
While there, Earl and Lorn also plan to install an automatic injection system in the medical clinics water supply.
 
One of our goals is to raise money for the batteries and solar panels to go with each of the CPUs. The cost of a battery and solar panel together is $250. The total amount needed is $12,500 [50 CPUs x $250 (cost of a battery and solar panel) = $12,500].
 
So will you prayerfully consider giving to help us reach that goal? In addition to receiving clean water, the people will hear about Jesus, the Living Water!
 
Your support can make an immeasurable impact to their daily lives. Together we can share the hope of Jesus and help them improve their lives.
 
Here’s how to give:
  • Mail a check to: SWIM, PO Box 227, New Sharon, IA  50207         
You can also give to the Magkie Foundation International Inc. to donate for batteries and solar panels:
Thank you for your support!
What is SWIM? Here’s a Great Explanation!

Per the Abundant Life Ministries in Malawi, here is a great explanation of what SWIM is and what it does.
 
“There is a saying that says, ‘Word is Life,’ but this saying is incomplete because only safe and clean water is life. Many communities drink unsafe water in most villages, leaving them sick with waterborne diseases. Some even lose their lives.
 
As a ministry, with support from Safe Water International Ministries (SWIM), we train communities how to make their own chlorine using a simple device called a CPU (chlorine producing unit) while we preach to them the Love of Christ who is the Living Water.
 
In addition to the CPU, communities are provided with a solar panel and battery which are the key components in making the chlorine with table salt added to the water.”
 
When you support SWIM you are making an incredible impact that is helping to create positive change, eternal hope, and better health.
