We want to add Kurtis and Claudia Daniels as Missionary Water Staff. As fulltime missionaries they will go to countries with water problems, design solutions and prepare a location for the water team that will install the appropiate water treatment system.
Place – Overseas Travel
Cost - $70,000
Project Targeted - yearly
In the heart of Santo Domingo is a six-story hospital that sees over 80 people a day. The water supply comes from a contaminated well or a cistern that cannot be safely sealed.
Confined to a wheelchair due to an automobile accident, a pastor hopes to have a mini-water treatment plant customized for his vision. He passionately wants to supply pure water to his community of over 2,000 people.
Working in 2 communities in the Puntarenas area of Costa Rica, a team will build and install a mini-water treatment in each. At the same time community members will be taught basic health education.

My team has a trip planned for November 5 - 16 to do purifier installations near Nalerigu, Northern Region, Ghana, West Africa. I would be interested in working with SWIM and/or leading teams into Ghana and other countries where safe water is a major health issue.
The web site listed above is being used as a tool to promote participation and to educate people of this drastic need, starting in Ghana.
What I at first saw as a single mission (to install a single system at Nalerigu) has become a Co-mission of taking the “Living Water” to the world.
I am signing up as a paying memeber because I believe in what you/we are doing, and the major opportunity this gives us to tell the world about Jesus, but, I would like to also become an active member in going, leading, learning, educating, and any other possible way to further this mission.
If you have your passport it is not too late yet to join us leaving from Cincinnati airport, really in Northern KY, at 10:30 AM Monday, Nov. 5. The plane tickets from the Cincy port(CVG)to Accra(ACC), Ghana, are over $300.00 less than from Louisville or Lexington and it is only about an hour drive from Frankfort and Louisville.
At present, we have three going from Frankfort. We will be at the Oct. 19 - 21 Edge Outreach Conference and hope to meet some SWIM members there.
