Join us for our 2nd Annual Concord Road Walk 4 Water! Every day in developing countries, women and children walk an average of 4 miles to collect water for their family. Join us in walking 4 miles Saturday, Sept. 25 @9am to raise awareness and funds to sponsor a well for those in need of clean water. Not able to come in person? No worries, join virtually & take your own hike or walk anywhere & everywhere. Share your pics @ #Walk4Water checkout more details below to see how you can participate.
On Saturday, September 25th at 9:00 a.m., please come join us at Gene Record Park in Henderson as we Walk4Water. We will be walking in honor of those who have to walk so far every day just to get clean water. Not only does it give us a greater appreciation for something we take for granted every day, but it also gives us an opportunity to do something good for someone else. The money we raise can help to either (1) drill a clean water well for people who need it, or (2) buy parts to fix a well that may be broken. Clean water can change people's lives dramatically. We hope you'll join us. You can register online or on the day of the walk. If you can't be there we hope you'll still consider giving to the cause.
Join us for worship at 10:30am (Lincoln Park church of Christ) which will be followed by a meal. We will check-in/register and pass out t-shirts at the church building. The walk will start at 2pm and we will be walking at Heritage Park in Taylor.
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 October 2nd, we will be hosting our 4th 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 Africa. 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!
We are excited to be hosting Walk4Water at Bellevue Church of Christ on Sunday, October 3rd. This event is intended to raise awareness and funds for drilling wells and getting water to the countries of Nigeria and Zimbabwe, where clean water is not readily available. We are thankful for this opportunity and hope you will join us to make a difference in the world!
Join us Saturday, October 9 for our second annual Walk4Water at the Bernal Community Park. In America, we often take for granted that we have clean water. But did you know that in the nation of Haiti the average person walks 4 miles round trip to get 6 gallons of water? And often contaminated water at that. Walk4Water is an event to raise awareness and support for people who don’t have access to clean drinking water. The money raised will go to drill new fresh water wells and repair old wells. The event will include a 4 mile walk that represents the 4 miles that many people in the world walk to get water. We believe every person deserves access to clean water and this event is your opportunity to get involved. Join us to walk and make a difference in the world.
The Ham Lane Church of Christ will be the host sight of the 3rd Annual Lodi Community Walk4Water Event. Water is the most abundant substance on our planet and it is vital for the existence of all living things. Even during times of drought, such as we are currently experiencing here in California, we still take having access to clean drinking water for granted. However, in many other undeveloped countries around the world, people do not have easy access to clean, safe drinking water. The average distance women and children have to walk each day to get water is four miles. This is why we will do a four mile walk to help raise awareness and the funds to change the cycle. Will you register to walk and support our efforts? Our prayer is that we will walk so that they don’t have to. If you are unable to join us, any donation you can give will help. The promise of Jesus is “if you give even a cup of cold water to one of the least of my followers, you will surely be rewarded” (Matthew 10:42, NLV).
Clean water doesn't change anything, but it changes everything for people living in Northern Ghana! Often, in the dry season, temperatures can reach upwards of 105 degrees. It's common for women and children to walk for 2-3 hours each day to collect dirty water contaminated with bacteria and other contaminants, leading to sickness, missed school days, and less productivity. In partnership with GWAM|WfWA, you can help change this cycle for a whole village by participating in the Austin Walk4Water on October 23, 2021, 1-3 pm at Westover Hills church of Christ. We hope to see you there as we all create awareness and raise funds to help end the water crisis in Northern Ghana.
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. To register for the walk or to donate, please go to this link and join our team!
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.
The plan is currently to have a walk! We will be updating the details as they are finalized
