Living Waters for the World: Clean Water Ministry in Peru

Living Waters for the World (LWW) is an international non-profit organization that trains and supports volunteers in forming global, clean-water mission partnerships. The organization connects a church or community group in the US with communities in the developing world that lack access to safe drinking water. These mission partnerships empower communities to install and sustain water purification systems and health education programs that transform lives.

Beginning in 2019, Grace First Presbyterian Church in Long Beach created a Water Team, sent the members to LWW for training, and started working with members of a highland community in Huanuco, Peru. In this Zoom session, we will share our experiences in this exciting, relational ministry and reach out to other congregations or individuals in the Presbytery who might be interested in collaborating with us in this clean water ministry.

Two water teams—Grace First and Iglesia del Dios Vivo— came together to discuss and sign a Living Waters covenant during the second Development Visit in 2022.

Leslie and Ron Reese are members of the Grace First Water Team. Leslie currently serves as moderator of the LWW Peru Network, which includes 6 congregations in the US and 27 communities throughout Peru where water systems have been installed.
