Water & the Gospel: An Integral Mission
Jonathan Wiles Vice President for Program Excellence
Living Water International
Globally, 1.8 billion people drink water that is biologically contaminated.
2.4 billion don’t use an improved latrine or toilet.
2.8 billion haven’t been reached by the gospel.
African women & children spend 40 billion hours a year carrying water over long distances.
Every year, 840,000 people die because of unsafe water, sanitation, and hand hygiene.
Living Water International exists to demonstrate the love of God by helping communities acquire
desperately needed clean water, and to experience "living water” the gospel of Jesus Christ—which
alone satisfies the deepest thirst.

Principles of Excellence in Integral Mission
accordnetwork.org/integral
Our Christian faith is at the center of our identity, motive, and manner of being.
We acknowledge the reality and significance of the spiritual realm.
The Church is central.
We recognize the whole system of poverty.
Transformational practices start with us.
