Godfrey First United Methodist Church Water Project
Help Fund a Water Project
We at Godfrey First seek to follow Christ's command given to us in John 15:12 - "My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.".
The gift of water that we hope to provide these people is nothing compared to the gift of his life that Jesus gave on the cross for our sins. It is our hope that through the gift of water we will shine the light of Jesus throughout Africa.
Will you join us? Will you be a blessing to the least of these? Will you help change the world?
"Then the righteous will answer him, "Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you 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 25:37-40
Jesus answered, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life." - John 4:13-14

Why It Matters
Did you know nearly 1 billion people don't have safe water to drink?
Together, we can change that. Let's fund a new source of drinking water for those who suffer needlessly without it!
Our gifts will be used to construct or rehabilitate a water project, like a well or sand dam, in Africa. We'll see pictures, GPS coordinates, and updates as they come in from the actual water project we fund so we can celebrate the results along with the community we help.
About The Water Project
The Water Project, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization unlocking human potential by providing clean, safe water to communities around the world who suffer needlessly without.
Working with local partners in countries like Kenya, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, South Sudan, and Uganda, we build long lasting water projects that are organized, owned and managed by the communities receiving them.
Together, with our partners we identify, implement, report on and follow up on every project. Then we share the whole story with you to inspire confidence in the work being done and the impact it has.
