Consider Liberia. Liberia is a beautiful coastal country in West Africa. In the midst of its rolling plains and majestic wildlife there are 1.8 million people who do not have access to safe, affordable water. That is the population of the metropolitan area of San Antonio, Texas. Imagine an entire major American city with access only to unsafe, disease-infested water. In the US it is unimaginable. Yet, 1.8 million people wake up every day in Liberia without affordable access to safe water. Our goal is to remedy that problem.
Why Liberia? Liberia meets all the essential requirements for this world-changing mission:
It’s on the continent of Africa. We want to reach the neediest of the needy first. The need in Africa is great. We want to stop the death and suffering there now, in Christ’s name.
Africa is in the news. Governments, Hollywood, and NGO’s are focused on Africa. That focus doesn’t make Africa any more special in God’s eyes than any other continent, but we believe that God can use that focus to leverage what He will accomplish in Liberia to bring clean water to other nations in great need, in Africa and elsewhere. The ending date. With God’s direction and involvement, we believe clean water can be provided to all of Liberia in less than five years. This vision is possible in a finite timeframe. As we have shared this vision with young adults around America, they all say that they want to be a part of something that shows God’s grandeur and His ability to accomplish a task that is bigger than men can accomplish on their own. Geography. Liberia is a coastal country with very few topographical and geographical obstacles or limitations. In other words, the structure of the ground is such that wells can be drilled with relatively few limitations. This allows us to move quickly and maximize our efforts.
Politics. Although Liberia has many political challenges, it affords us a relatively calm political climate. Political upheaval creates many of the challenges to providing clean water to other African countries.
