PHYSICAL and SPIRITUAL WATER NEEDS ABOUND IN LIBERIA

Liberia (MNN)-13 years of civil war in Liberia did incredible damage to the country. It killed people, destroyed villages, and also destroyed infrastructure. Living Water International's Bruce Whitmire says it was especially hard on the water supply."Where hand pumps were once constructed, they have now been destroyed--the pumps absolutely ripped out of the ground and sold to buy bullets. And over the past three years Living Water [International] has been able to rehabilitate and drill over 300 new wells," says Whitmire.However, he says that just a small portion of what's needed to serve a population of three-million people. "When you look at the capital city of Monrovia (a city that was built for 600,000 people), about 1.5 million people live in and around the capital city. So, if all of the infrastructure services worked, there would still be 900,000 people without basic services such as water and sewer."But none of those services work, so the needs are great.Water is an open door for evangelism. "Water is merely a tool to share the Gospel. And, as Living Water International works in 25 countries throughout the world, our goal is to reach the world with water and the Word of God."
