Living Waters for the World
Schedules Two Spring Training Sessions

Living Waters for the World is offering two sessions of Clean Water U, March 9-13 and April 13-17. Located deep in the woods of Hopewell Camp and Conference Center outside of Oxford, Mississippi, Clean Water U (CWU) is a simulation experience designed to equip mission teams with the skills necessary to form partnerships with communities in need of clean water, install the Living Waters for the World water purification system and equip local leaders to lead ongoing health, hygiene and spiritual education.

These learning objectives are taught in three separate courses which run concurrently during the four-day session. Typically a mission group sends three or more representatives to ensure that all courses are covered (total cost per student: $300).

Graduates of CWU then serve as their mission group’s team leaders in subsequent water-focused mission trips. All system parts, curriculum and related materials necessary for successful completion of these trips are available to CWU graduates via the organization’s fulfillment center, based in Louisville, KY.

Mission groups, in conjunction with Living Waters for the World, installed a record eleven purification systems in 2004, largely due to the train-the-trainer impact of the CWU program.

CWU is open to all who have a desire to help those in need of clean water. Churches without an existing mission partner may begin the process of establishing a partnership by contacting Living Waters for the World.

Space is still available for the spring CWU sessions. For more information, contact Emily Dunbar, synod administrator, at 615-261-4008.
