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: God Is Doing Amazing Work!

    John Hays Prayer Letter: God Is Doing Amazing Work!I labor in the water ministry. I fall on my knees and pray for His strength. God says, “He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.” (Isaiah 40:29) Another verse that comes to mind is, “But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” (Isaiah 40:31)

    I have fainted in the mission field. I look on the poor, and my prayers and my eyes are tear-filled as I look unto Jesus. This is my limited view of what God is doing in the Pure Water for All ministry.

    God is doing amazing work!

    In 2024, there were 1,933 villages in 22 countries that were given Living Water and drinking water: Morocco, Ghana, Liberia, Zambia, Guam, Philippines, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, Brazil, Burkina Faso, Kenya, DRC (Congo), Uganda, Bangladesh, Peru, Laos, South Sudan, Nepal, Malawi, Guatemala, and Panama. There were 20,000 salvations and over 250 church plants reported, along with hundreds of thousands of lives helped. Thank you for your prayer partnership! Please continue to pray for God to send more laborers into the harvest.

    A large distribution of over 100 systems was made in DRC Congo in March 2025. This was 500 miles from the capital. It was dangerous. Christ was made known to a very far corner of the world. The fruits were great.

    Praise God for a completed distribution! Pray for another large distribution of 400 systems in 2025. The labor of love in Christ has never been in vain.

    Pakistan gets 20 systems monthly. March’s report shows many got saved. Praise God for 180 people who have trusted Christ in Pakistan!

    Please pray for more to be saved in Ghana and Sierra Leone because we sent 150 more water systems to those countries in March.

    Peru has more exciting news! More systems were sent, which adds to this testimony:

    “We visited 8 villages. We also visited 1 hospital, 2 medical centers, 5 schools, and 1 market. We also provided systems to 3 pastors and 2 mayors (local political authorities). As a result, approximately 72 people received Christ as their personal Saviour; among them were 3 doctors and a nurse.” – Bro. Allan

    Many systems are being distributed in Liberia, Ghana, Peru, Uganda, Nepal, India, and Pakistan. Please read upcoming testimonies in the next newsletter.

    Please pray for funding, open doors, and the perfect will of God to be done.

    His water boy,

    John Hays
