WMU Change Fund
Loose CHANGE can make a difference!
April we are collecting our change for Pure Water, Pure Love.
Change adds up to dollars and dollars can help give pure water
to missionaries and the people they serve.

Pure Water, Pure Love in Haiti


In 2006, Pure Water, Pure LoveSM partnered with Mission Waco to provide safe, clean
water for the people of the village of Ferrier in the northeastern part of Haiti.
While there, Mission Waco also helped repair three older
and defunct wells. All are located in an impoverished village
of 13,000 where the average family income is less than a
dollar a day.
The director of Mission Waco, Jimmy Dorrell, says it best,
“Clean water is one of the most precious commodities for
this nation that often resorts to bacteria-infested river water
to drink.”
In 2010, just a couple of months after the devastating
earthquake in Haiti, Pure Water, Pure Love once again
provided a grant to provide a clean water source to so
many in the capital city of Port-au-Prince.
Mission Waco has been involved in ministries in Haiti for more than 20 years.
WLBC Change collected to date... $155. For Pure Water, Pure Love
