Accounting Associate Job in Stafford 77477, Texas Us

About Living Water International:

Living Water International exists to demonstrate the love of God by helping communities acquire desperately needed clean water, and to experience “living water” – the gospel of Jesus Christ – which alone satisfies the deepest thirst.

 

Living Water was born in 1990 when a group from Houston, Texas trav­eled to Kenya and saw the desperate need for safe drinking water. They equipped and trained a team of Kenyan drillers who began operations the next year. The fledgling organization, committed to “provid­ing a cup of water in Jesus’ name,” worked along­side local churches and ministries, helping them make disciples in the communities being served. Now 21 years old, Living Water has seen incredible growth, particularly in the past five years.
