Find a Walk
The Ham Lane Church of Christ will be the host site for the first ever Walk 4 Water event here in Lodi, California on Saturday March 9th, 2019. This one-day fundraising event will center around a 4-mile round trip walk from the church building at 600 S. Ham Lane to our beautiful Lodi Lake Park 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 are asking you to partner with us and do much more than just give a cup of cold water, by raising the funds to go towards 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.
Water…something we in the United States so often take for granted unless some sort of natural disaster befalls us. Imagine if you had to worry about finding clean water to drink every single day; not including all the other things we use clean water for such as laundry, dishwashing, bathing, etc. Much of the world does have to worry about this. Many cannot find clean water and just have to drink what is available to them. Many of those who do have some access to clean water have to walk long distances to get that water. People in our world have this struggle not once a week or once a month but Every. Single. Day.
Then imagine how life-changing it could be for these people to have access to clean water near their homes and businesses. Not only would it help eliminate sickness resulting from dirty water, but it would free up much of their time to engage in other prosperous activities. Homewood Church wants to be part of the solution to generate clean water for those in need. Won’t you help as well?
Sign up to walk in and donate toward our Walk for Water event. If you can’t walk in the event please consider donating. Be part of the solution!

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.
Most of us will never get the opportunity to visit a distant country where the basic daily necessities are not as easily accessible as they are for each of us. Walk4water provides us an opportunity to give to those who struggle to have what we take for granted each day. April 7th the Eastern Hills Church of Christ is proud to host a walk to raise awareness and funds to provide clean water for men, women, and children who are dying at an alarming rate. Registration will begin at 2:30 at the church building, 2705 E. Travis Street, Marshall, TX. Following the walk, we will host “The Gathering”, an area-wide youth worship event. People of all ages and all faiths are welcome to participate in our Walk4water day. Please help us reach our goal of $7,500 to dig at least one well. Matthew 25 reminds us of the eternal importance of how we treat our fellow human beings. “I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink. The king will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” Matthew 25:35, 40
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!

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. Details for the location of the walk will be released once finalized, but we anticipate a great morning walk near the Genesee River or the Erie Barge Canal. 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. We are asking everyone to bring a "unique" container to carry water in. You will not want to miss out on this day as our 8th annual walk will be focusing on raising awareness on how blessed we are to have access to clean water. The donations will go to Healing Hands International to help bring clean water access to the people of Haiti.
