A woman came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give me a drink.” The woman said to him, “How is it that you ask for a drink from me?” Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.” The woman said to him, “Where do you get that living water?” Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water so that I will not be thirsty.” John 4:7-15 This is a familiar Bible story from the New Testament. The woman was thinking about earthly water: providing health and well-being to the earthly body. Jesus, however, had spiritual water in mind: God’s Word, providing spiritual health and eternal life in Heaven. As I was studying this story in preparation for teaching my Sunday morning adult Bible class, I was thinking about our Kuwaa Mission and the work we have done together with you, our supporters, in Liberia, West Africa. Through the Kuwaa Mission these past 10 years we have:
- Constructed 33 new freshwater wells in the 16 villages of the Kuwaa Chiefdom and rebuilt over 20 others.
- Distributed over 150 water filters to individuals, churches, schools and medical clinics.
Most importantly, we have:
- Conducted teacher training workshops for Lutheran evangelists and Lutheran school/Sunday school teachers
- Provided scholarships for students becoming evangelists and deacons in their local Lutheran churches
- Conducted vacation Bible schools averaging 150 students attending
- Helped to rebuild Lutheran churches and schools destroyed in the recent civil wars.
Water for the body and soul. Physical water and Spiritual water. Earthly water and Heavenly water. Taste and see what the Kuwaa Mission has done for our Kuwaa brothers and sisters in Christ through your prayers and financial support. Thank you on their behalf and God bless you all.
