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.

Six years ago we partnered with HHI to host our first Walk4Water. This has truly become a community event. Area churches, community groups, schools, and businesses are joining together to help make this year’s walk a success. We need your help too. Get your team together and register online today.

Our walk is Saturday, April 27 at the Wilson Stage at the foot of Broadway on the banks of the Ohio River. Registration will be at 8 AM with the walk beginning at 9 AM. This is a free event and everyone who registers receives a free T-Shirt. Let’s raise awareness and money to help others around the world to have clean drinking water for themselves and their families. 

Eleven years ago Mary Etta Whitelaw contacted HHI and set up Midcounty’s first walk 4 water. Mary Etta started Midcounty on this great journey raising money to drill water wells in third world countries. Mary Etta passed away in January of 2019, but her memory and legacy live on. On May 4, 2019, Mid County will host our 11th consecutive walk. We will dedicate this walk to the memory of this fine Christian lady. Mid County has embraced this wonderful Christian endeavor of service with all the glory to God.

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!

Please join us for Cedarburg’s second annual Walk 4 Water, hosted by the Cedarburg Global Scholars Club! We are hoping to raise $7500 this year and have even more people show up to the event! The walk starts at 9:00 am and food will be provided after the walk. We hope you will donate, or join us for the walk and have a good time!

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. 

Hosting a Walk4Water in Boyden, Iowa is an event our community is very excited about.  A year ago, a friend of mine suggested that I get involved with Walk4Water. I brought the idea to my community in hopes of including a walk in our annual celebration.  The committee graciously said yes and has set a goal to raise $7,500 to fund a well in Haiti. I’m very fortunate to live in a Godly community that wants to serve God by serving others.
