Drip Irrigation on the Mission Field
Dr. JL Williams comments:
"For a number of years I have been involved in supplying drip irrigation “bucket” kits to third world partners as a way of helping national Christians provide for their families and do outreach in their villages, neighborhoods. For several years I have served on the board of directors for Chapin Living Waters ” bringing hope to the poorest people in over 150 countries and the opportunity to solve their own problems.”

Rural Empowerment Initiative Photo at Marketplace Revolution
A group picture of a meeting of REI, Rural Empowerment Initiative people. REI is an Affiliate with Partners Worldwide.
http://www.ruralempowermentinitiative.org
Rick Slager is a small business owner of 13 years, with a love for Africa, has become a part of Partners Worldwide. He will be creating income generating activities that will create jobs and lift people out of poverty in the name of Christ. REI's strategy is to use International Development Enterprise (IDE) proven method of Prosperity Realized through Irrigation and Small Holder Markets (PRISM) to enable small holder prosperity by integrating small holders into sustainable, expanding agricultural markets. These methods will be used initially at the Small Farm Resource Development Center (SFRDC) with small pilot programs and training.
I will offer my help and assistance with drip irrigation and other ways to help Rick in his ministry.

How Can We Help You?
Ok, you found us.
Now how can we help you Change The World?
Yes, you can change the World!
BE SURE TO SEE OUR WEBSITE. HTTP://WWW.CHAPINLIVINGWATERS.ORG
See new videos of a current project in Africa! The two videos at top of BLOG!
By helping start a small pilot project in a developing country, you can help one or more families grow enough food for themselves and some extra to sell!
If several families participate in the area and do the same, it makes a small but important change not only in their family but also in the community!
And if they "tithe" any profits from their extra veggies that they sell, it helps the church in it's mission!
A small step!
Want to help?
You can contribute towards a project. People are waiting!
