INTERNATIONAL WATER CONFERENCE

Here is another Conference that looks good. It is coming from our Medical coordinator for GBGM. If anyone wants to go, the registration information is linked below. It would be at your own expense. If anyone is going to attend I would like to visit with you after your return.

We are getting information out to mission minded churches, leaders, and individuals about how ordinary people can save lives empowering indigenous people to provide safe water for themselves and their communities. Most of us participating in missions can say we encounter hurting people because of poor water quality situations. Twenty-five thousand people die each day because of water related issues (most of them children).
That's why EDGE OUTREACH has been empowering church mission teams, mission organizations, missionaries and indigenous people to provide pure water for communities for over 7 years through our water school in Louisville, KY and our International Water Conferences. Go to this link to learn more about water ministry and how it can enhance your current mission activities. This training allows a more integrated and holistic approach to mission work. Mission teams serving in church building, orphanages, hospitals, and community centers, to name a few, experience a widened capacity to serve the physical needs of those they minister to, while providing an expanded field of outreach to those who would otherwise never approach a church. The vision is simple: Equip missionaries to be able to provide pure water for those they are serving, even if they have no background in water.

We would love to help you to extend your lasting mission impact by adding water ministry as part of your missions work, and we encourage you to attend our International Water Training Conference October 8-11. Join over 100 people from around the world committed to changing lives and unleashing the "Living Water" of Christ. Clickhere for conference information & registration. Also, if two or more people register at the same time, then we are happy to offer a group discount.
Please let Jarrod Johnson Jarrod@edgeoutreach.com of EdgeOutreach know if you have any questions or concerns. We would be honored to be joined by you and others who have a heart for serving the poor.
