Gracewater
Our mission is simply to give grace with water. We are driven by the desire to help communities experience god's grace through the gift of water. 783 million people and millions of communities around the globe are in a water crisis! We are passionate about being a part of the solution, as well as pursuing our mission to educate their community about the love of christ. Through the drilling of wells in communities, we found a need for orphan training and have begun to help train and equip them in discipleship and life skills.
