JOHN HAYS

SERVING WITH HAYS PURE WATER

ABOUT

 John Birthday 12/06

I grew up in church. I do not remember ever hearing the Gospel. It was in college that I was asked what the Cross of Jesus meant to me. I did not know.  I studied the Bible and realized He loved me and died for my sins. I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Saviour on September 21, 1974. I was baptized shortly after in the university swimming pool. I am now a member of and sent out of Marion Avenue Baptist Church under the leadership of Pastor Joseph Brown.

Farming was my god, but I followed Christ’s calling to enter public water treatment for three decades, starting in 1980 till 2010. He placed on my heart the need to invent and distribute a water-treatment system in 2004. I believe these Scriptures for my ministry:  Matthew 25:35 and John 4.  I serve Jesus in each thirsty person and witness to offer living water. I am in my second decade of this ministry. God has let me manufacture 5,000 systems and distribute them in 50 countries. In Sudan, Africa, for example, 1,200 villages were given both waters.  More information and testimonies can be found at Hays Pure Water.

I began working in the ministry in 2005 and have seen many in 50 countries in 5,000 villages saved, grow in Christ, and become fruitful soul winners. My burden is to reach more around the world with both drinking and living water and to train them to become effective and fruitful soul winners. I have developed and manufacture a water machine that perfectly treats water for up to 5,000 people for several decades.

My desire is to work with the missionaries of Fundamental Baptist Missions International and assist them in planting churches. I want to see people saved and then train them to become soul winners. In addition, I have a strong burden to reach their entire village for Christ. This will be most effective through the water ministry-serving missionaries.

This will take much labor and sacrifice. I am ready to reach more of the world. I invite you to pray and consider partnering with me in this effort through your prayers and finances. Please contact me if you would allow me to share my burden and calling with you and your church.

If I can serve you in any way, please allow me to do so.

In 2006, after traveling around developing nations on missions trips, John Hays was burdened to create a low cost, portable solution for water purification. After reading the historical account of Elisha cleansing the water of Jericho in II Kings 2, John put his 30+ years of experience with municipal water works to use and developed the Khlor Gen system.

Through the years, the design and look has been changed and improved, but the mission has stayed the same. Provide people with clean water, reaching out to them through word and deed. Eight years and 4,000 units later, that mission continues full steam ahead.

    John Hays Prayer Letter: Thank You!THANK YOU

    Thank you for being a faithful supporter of Pure Water for All Foundation. Our mission is not only to provide clean water but also to share the Living Water of Jesus Christ with those in need. In Pakistan alone over the past two months, nearly 500 people have accepted Christ, and 13 new churches have been planted. None of this would be possible without your prayers and generosity. Your donations truly make a difference and are changing lives for eternity.

    AFRICA PROJECT

    We are excited to be sending 200 water systems to Africa, bringing clean water to villages in desperate need. Please continue to pray for our efforts so that even more villages can experience health through safe water. This project will impact thousands of families, helping children stay in school and reducing sickness caused by dirty water. Together, with your prayers and support, we can see entire villages transformed for generations to come.

    PRAYER REQUEST

    Pakistan is facing devastating floods from heavy monsoon rain, leaving nearly 1,000 dead, thousands displaced, and entire communities destroyed. Families are struggling with contaminated water, food shortages, and disease outbreaks like cholera and malaria. Urgent help is needed for clean water, medical care, shelter, and food. Please pray for Pure Water as we do as much as we can to help these people.

    His water boy,

    John Hays
