Find a Walk
Nothing is better than a nice warm day with the sun shining perfectly! This is exactly what we got to walk in at the famous Cascades Park. With Great Heron's flying around and ponds to fill up our jerricans in we loved being able to walk together so people in Haiti can experience clean water! We also really enjoyed the great food and the new addition of bouncy houses this year!
With all the high school students walking to bring clean water, we were able to fill up the field where we walked. And not one jerrican was left behind! We had a great day and fantastic weather! Thanks to all the students that put forth so much work so that clean water can be keep flowing to families in Haiti.
The Lanett Church of Christ will be the host site for the first ever Walk 4 Water event here in Lanett, Alabama on Saturday, March 30th, 2019. This one-day fundraising event will center around a 4-mile walk at the Lanett High School track at 1301 S. 8th St. which will symbolize the average distance traveled by young children and women searching for water in underdeveloped nations such as Zimbabwe and Haiti. The promise of Jesus is that if we “give even a cup of cold water to one of the least of my followers, you will surely be rewarded” (Matthew 10:42, NLT). We desire to be a community that is mindful of the difficulty around the world and are hoping you can use your blessing to partner with us and do much more than just give a cup of cold water. We desire to raise the funds needed to cover the cost of drilling deep wells, called boreholes that can benefit up to 10,000 villagers by providing water for years to come, restore health and save lives. We hope you can help through prayers, donations, and joining with us for this event.
It begins with water... Many of us in the United States take such a simple resource as water for granted until a natural disaster or tragic event strikes. Now imagine if you had to walk average of 4 miles to get that water that was contaminated by a hurricane, earthquake, or tornado. That is the daily reality of many people in the world today.
The sounds of thunder filled the skies on Sunday morning along with heavy rain. The first Walk4Water in Marshall, TX did not budge. "We have a backup plan but the walk is on" was the message everyone heard. When it came time to walk the rain stopped and 120 plus people took the journey around Marshall Middle School. The walk ended back came the rain! People have to walk every day to get water because it is a necessity and they do not have the luxury of not walking because it may rain or it may be hot. The participants at the walk were able to get a small sample of what life is like for others. They decided not to just walk but to make a difference by raising enough money to sponsor two wells!! Way to go Marshall.
Join the Old Hickory Village Community in a Walk4Water! About 3 years ago the children at the Old Hickory Church of Christ discovered that there are people in the world who do not have access to clean water as we have here in Nashville, Tennessee. Because of the compassion our children experienced, they made it their mission to donate the money they earned so that people in Haiti could receive clean water to drink. We surpassed our goal last year and the children in the Old Hickory Village continue to passionately support clean water efforts in Haiti. So, please join us in supporting the children of Old Hickory Village and Healing Hands International in a Walk4Water, because “It all begins with water.”

After having to take a year off due to construction on campus, we are excited to have the opportunity to host our 5th Walk4Water in Cookeville, TN on the Campus of Tennessee Tech University. We want to bring awareness to college students of how blessed we are with basic necessities that most do not have. Most importantly, clean drinking water. By bringing awareness to so many people from different areas, we hope it will spread the message or how vital it is for all of us as Christians to do our part in helping people around the world with this life-threatens problem they deal with each and every day. We hope to get as many students along with local churches involved on this encouraging day to see what we can do when we all work together!
People in developing countries walk an average of 4 miles to get water that is clean enough for them to drink. Most of these people are the women and children of the communities thus perpetuating a downward spiral of poverty and a lack of education. With the clean water source in the villages the people can manage their homes and receive a proper education. As the missionaries in these villages provide physical water they can also introduce them to the Living Water, Jesus Christ.

How often do you get a drink of water? If your like me, the answer to that question is many times a day; whether from a faucet, a bottle, the refrigerator door, or the end of a water hose. Most of us never consider just how valuable this precious commodity is. On May 11, we will be hosting our 3rd annual Walk4Water event at the McKenzie City Hall. Our desire is to raise awareness about the need for clean water around the world and to gain monetary support to install water wells in Haiti. We ask that you join our cause and support our efforts by give a small donation or more importantly, come out and walk with us. Let’s walk, so they don’t have too!

Funds raised from this event will go towards providing and maintaining wells in Haiti, while also sharing the good news of the Living Water.

Lawson Road church of Christ is pleased to sponsor the first Walk4Water in all of New York State on June 1, 2019. We are excited to work together with many others to generate funds to bring life-saving clean water to those in need. The walk will be held in Mendon Ponds park and start at the Canfield parking area and use the North Meadow trail through the woods and gentle rolling hills. The goal of the walk is two-fold: 1. To raise awareness for the urgent need of clean, safe water in many parts of the world, and 2. To generate funds to be used to dig and install wells in areas of need. The fact that a child dies due to waterborne illness somewhere in the world is simply unacceptable. In Rochester, New York, we intend to do something to change that statistic. Please join us.
Come join us as a gathered community on Saturday, September 7th as we will experience a unique twist this year. We are moving to a new location!! We will be at Waterford Bend Park in Northville.
