The Bucket Ministry, a nonprofit committed to sharing God’s love through the gift of clean water, today marked the completion of a five-year effort to provide generational access to safe drinking water and the love of Jesus to every resident living in Kibera, a challenging community located outside Nairobi, Kenya.
Through the efforts of 100 local Kenyan missionaries, the majority (98%) of whom live in Kibera, The Bucket Ministry distributed 81,777 Sawyer© PointONE filters connected to buckets, providing all 408,478 Kibera residents with access to clean water.
The missionaries subsequently conducted three in-home, follow-up visits with each recipient, ensuring water filters were properly maintained and building relationships to share a Gospel message and disciple individuals.
According to The Bucket Ministry’s proprietary Mission Mapping system, over the past five years, the local missionary team shared the Gospel 500,000-plus times, experienced 21,000 professions of faith and conducted 1,400 baptisms in Kibera.
