“. . . I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink . . . .” (Matthew 25:35)
I do not understand how I can give water to Jesus, the Creator, the invisible God. His Words says I can, so I take a step of faith. Testimonies share the unseen fruit.
South Sudan Update
One such testimony comes from deep inside the war-torn and newest country on earth, South Sudan. This is one of my favorite places—no ocean, stores, gas stations, hospitals, good water, or roads in this very hot, dusty, desert brushland. Mango trees, like lollipops, grow on the barren, distant mountains. A national, Samuel Muta, works with me. He has documentation of distributing both waters to millions of people in over 1,000 villages.
I asked Samuel to take me to the first village he served. As we crossed a small stream on the edge of “town,” a lady was shaking her finger at us as she filled her water container from that stream. I asked Samuel why. He said she was telling us that she was no longer afraid of sickness or death from drinking bad water because it was treated. We sat down in the village, and the person in charge of village water came out of her hut, bringing the Klor-Gen system with her, and treated our river water. We sat down, and I was greatly taken aback to see this unfold before my eyes. Throughout the day, people would stop us and give us good words of the work being done.
Life is simple, as it’s a new nation, yet it is unstable. On February 14, 2025, one more system was used to show the Gospel and treat water (see pictures). The testimony dated February 14 was:
• Attendance – 1,415
• Salvations – 416
• Baptisms – 3
• Physical improvements
Democratic Republic of the Congo Update by Pastor Saidi
The lost world needs Christ. Yes, it needs the Gospel of grace, the love of God, the message of the finished work of Jesus Christ on the Cross, and water systems freely distributed to village groups. This remains a great way for us to help others while fulfilling the Great Commission. Sometimes we are terrified and discouraged. Our faith in Christ in obedience is always under trials.
After about five years of experience with the Pure Water Systems ministry, we have seen more than 8,000 souls receive Jesus Christ as Lord and personal Saviour within cities and villages in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. This includes surrounding countries, such as Zambia, Malawi, and Uganda, where we have reached out with the water-systems ministry.
Recently, just after our annual conference in November 2024, 2 more churches were planted under the blessings of water systems. Now we have 9 churches that have been planted, with the help of the water systems. Seven more churches were established; these 7 churches were already planted, but because of the help of the water systems, they have become much stronger in quantity and in fellowship with God.
So, 16 churches in general for now are beneficiaries of the water-systems ministry, and each church has more than 200 members. As an example, in my church today, we have more than 400 church members because of the help of the water-systems ministry.
If God opens a way, our next mission trip in February will be a soul-winning and church-planting mission trip to the western part of the country. We already have many expectations from God. Please help us realize this precious, divine mission and touch thousands of souls for Christ.
As the lost world needs Christ, in the same way, the fulfilment of the Great Commission needs the water systems to bring more souls to Christ and establish God’s kingdom in people’s lives. Christ is coming soon, and we have to work to prepare for His appearing as we fulfill His mission and purposes.
God of all grace bless you so much,
Pastor Saidi
Pakistan 2024 Update by Pastor Shaukat Siddique
Last year, we visited 70 villages, and we were able to plant 40 new churches in different villages. By the grace of God, we witnessed in front of 3,000 people and saw 1,700 receive Jesus Christ.
We humbly gave Pure Water Systems (Klor-Gens, I call them) to 1,933 villages in more than 24 countries during 2024. Praise the Lord! It’s all from obeying God’s Word—giving Jesus a drink of water.
Pray for the 600 villages receiving both the Gospel and the Klor-Gen water-treatment systems in Congo, Ecuador, Pakistan, Ghana, Brazil, Nepal, and other countries. The battle is never ending, but God is in control.
His humble water boy,
John Hays
