Find a Walk
During this global pandemic, Walk4Water is still committed to bringing clean water to people in need around the world, but we acknowledge the need for precautions. Find and click on your walk page below to find updates about your Walk4Water event. We thank you for your support!
Have you ever been sitting on the couch, wishing you had a glass of water, but at the same time thought, “Nah, I don’t want to walk to the kitchen”? You’re not alone, we’re all guilty of doing that at least a couple of times in our lives, but let me ask you, how far is that actual walk to the kitchen? Twenty, maybe 30 feet? Well, what if your walk was four, maybe five miles...at the least. Guess what, for some people not even too far from us...it is. You can help make that walk just a little shorter though! Come join us at Maysville Church of Christ on November 6th and let's take part in making someone’s #Walk4Water just a little bit shorter by raising funds to help a third-world community in need have a water well drilled so that water can be made more easily accessible, and maybe even spread some love and the good Word, as well. We look forward to walking with you!
On November 6th at 10 AM on the Rock Creek Greenway in Tullahoma, Highland Hills Church of Christ would like to have the community join us in our initial Walk 4 Water. We are raising awareness of the needs of other communities around the world that are not blessed to have the access we have in our community to clean water. We in the U.S. take for granted the simple convenience of the water that comes through our faucets daily, unlike those that have to walk an average of 4 miles, roundtrip, to bring 5 gallons of water for their cooking, cleaning, hygiene and drinking, daily! Money raised will go to enhance current projects and/or build another well for clean water access. Please join with the brothers and sisters of Highland Hills at Frazier McEwen Park, Ramada #2 in either walking or volunteering on the 6th of November. Donations and prayers are welcome in any amount as we continue to “Love One Another” 1 John 3:21.
Water is an essential part of life, yet there are still many places in this world with limited access to clean water. The Rutherford County Walk4Water makes a life-changing difference in the world each year. Our community comes together with the common goal to raise money to dig wells in developing countries. These wells will bring clean water and with it, life to these communities. Last year we were able to fund a new well in Nigeria.
As disciples of Jesus, we are called to be servant-hearted people who strive to make this world a better place. Jesus said that his true followers are those who care for others, especially those who are less fortunate and in need. In Matthew 25, Jesus teaches that to truly follow him and be his disciple means being compassionate and of assistance to those in need. This walk is an opportunity to show compassion and make a real difference to those who are in need. Please consider joining this cause by participating in our walk or by making a donation.
We’re excited about partnering with Healing Hands International to dig some clean water wells! Our goal is $30,000, and when we get there, we’ll be able to dig 4 wells for communities who don't currently have access to clean water! Our Walk4Water event will be Sunday afternoon, November 14, at Veterans Park on Valleydale (near Spain Park High School)--we'll be headquartered under the pavilion next to the volleyball courts. Registration begins at 1:30pm, and the walk starts at 2:00pm. Some will choose to walk the 4-mile distance out of respect for the millions of women and children in developing countries who walk this distance daily to get water, which — in most cases — is contaminated by different kinds of bacteria. Others will simply attend the event to show their support and raise awareness for this very treatable problem. It’s also an excellent opportunity to show our kids that we can make a difference in the lives of fellow human beings who are struggling.

Clean water has the incredible potential to change lives forever for people living in Northern Ghana! Yearly, during the dry season, children often walk for miles to collect water from muddy dugout holes in the ground. In partnership with GWAM|WfWA (Ghana West Africa Missions and Water for West Africa), you can help change this cycle for a whole village by participating in the Moulton Walk4Water on November 14, 2021, 2-4 pm at Moulton's Alexander Mini Park (Splash Pad Park). The Moulton church community has a long history of helping those in need in Ghana, and we are excited about the hope of drilling a new well for a community in the future.
We will once again host a Walk 4 Water this year on Saturday, November 20th. Check in will be at 9:00am and we will begin the walk at 9:30am. We use this as an event to raise awareness for the need for clean drinking water.
This is a great opportunity to make your family and children aware of the need for clean drinking water in other places in the world, and we hope you will join us as we Walk 4 Water!
As a side note, please do not create a personal financial goal for this event. Instead, plan to also join us for our Day of Thanks and Giving service and save your financial contributions for the collection on that day. We will meet the overall financial goal for Walk 4 Water through the giving at that service as a part of our Day of Thanks and Giving collection.
