New Partnership with Living Waters for the World

Living Waters for the World (LWW), a ministry of the Synod of Living Waters, Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)  is bringing their hallmark training program, Clean Water U, to Johnsonburg June 23-27, 2020. This is an expansion from LWW’s base of training at Camp Hopewell in Oxford, MS.

Living Waters for the World takes a unique approach to water ministry. The organization trains volunteers, mostly from Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) churches, to form international water partnerships. Teams engage directly with communities and train them to purify contaminated water, as well as help install and teach the local community to maintain the water purification systems.

“This is a wonderful opportunity coming at an important time,” says Steve Young, LWW Executive Director.  “LWW’s mission teams have now partnered to install 1,000 water systems in communities throughout the world.  By expanding our training into the northeast, we hope to welcome more churches into this life-changing work, as we look to the next 1,000 clean water partnerships.”

“How exciting to be part of a global mission community via Clean Water U! Johnsonburg has trained leaders for the national and international church for 60 years. Now, we are partnering with Living Waters, to educate new generations of people who feel called to make a difference. The Johnsonburg Board and staff look forward to welcoming clean water teams to the beautiful campus in northwest New Jersey,” adds Elise Bates Russell, executive director of Johnsonburg.

 “Camp Hopewell has been our training home since the beginning,” says Kendall Cox, LWW’s Director of Education. “Now we are expanding to Johnsonburg with Hopewell right alongside us to assist. What a gift God has given us by making us partners so that clean water may flow. We can’t wait to see what grows from the seeds God has planted.”
