Welcome to Advent Impact!
Advent Impact is a new website dedicated to supporting ministries around the world. We are just getting started, but we are excited to see the Lord lead, and the positive response we have received from ministries. Please come back soon as the site will develop quickly.
As you may imagine, community work and church planting isn't always easy. It takes a lot of hard work, prayer and support from many individuals to really make an impact in people's lives. Each time we see the Holy Spirit work in a person's life, we're thrilled. When that person starts to respond to the Spirit of God and ultimately make a decision to commit their life to Christ, we are ecstatic.
This gentleman was one of several who committed their life to Christ at the conclusion of a campaign we conducted at one of our church plant sites recently. Not only is our team thrilled, but we understand that a few angels in heaven sang a very special song during his baptism. "There is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents." Luke 15:10

Water for Life: A Closer Look at God’s Call to Bring Clean Water to the World
At Water for Life, we believe every drop of water tells a story—a story of hope, transformation, and God’s unending love for His creation. This collage tells the truth in a powerful way, snapshots of communities touched by the gift of clean water. Pause a moment, zoom in, and see the faces of those whose lives have been changed by something as simple, yet profound, as a sip of safe water. You are invited to look, reflect, and respond to God’s call to love our neighbors through action.
The Bible reminds us in Isaiah 41:17, “The poor and needy search for water, but there is none; their tongues are parched with thirst. But I the Lord will answer them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them.” God’s heart beats for those in need, and He calls us, His people, to be His hands and feet in answering their cries. For millions around the world, access to clean water isn’t a given—it’s a daily struggle.
Contaminated water sources lead to illness, keep children out of school, and trap families in cycles of poverty. Yet, through the work of Water for Life, we see God moving, bringing wells and hope to villages that have prayed for change.
As Christians, we are called to reflect Christ’s love in practical ways. Jesus Himself said in Matthew 25:35, “For I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink.” Providing clean water is a tangible way to live out this command. At Water for Life, every well drilled is a declaration of God’s love and a step toward fulfilling the Great Commission. Clean water opens doors to share the Gospel, as communities see the love of Christ through the actions of His followers.
But the work is far from done. Over 700 million people worldwide still lack access to clean water, and God is calling us to respond.
This is where you come in. We challenge you to take three steps this week to join Water for Life in this mission:
Watch and Share a Video or Image: Take five minutes to let the stories sink in. Share it on your social media or with your church group to spread the word about God’s work through Water for Life. Your voice can inspire others to act.
Pray for the Thirsty: Commit to praying daily for those without clean water and for the work of organizations like Water for Life. Ask God to provide resources, open hearts, and guide our efforts to bring water and the Gospel to those in need.
Give Generously: Consider making a donation of your time, treasures or talent to Water for Life. You can also organize a fundraiser with your church or small group to multiply your impact.
What does your day to day life look like?
Work, shopping, school, driving on the interstate?
Here is just a small snapshot of what our church planters in Central America do on a daily basis. They are connecting with people in the community, giving bible studies, praying, encouraging, distributing necessities, traveling, planning outreach activities and more. Our mission is to move people closer to Jesus and towards better health.
Would you add one small item to your daily routine? Would you pray for our church planters and the people they serve? We would be incredibly grateful.

It's hard to fathom that many globally still do not have clean water. This little one is experiencing something many dream of. Clean, fresh water. Water for Life has partnered with many organizations, donors and locals for nearly 4 decades to provide a resource some have never seen. We try to make this one idea clear. Water for life contracts with a village to dig a well. We trust that it is only God that will provide water-for-life!
Not only are we a church planting ministry, working at establishing new groups of believers where there are no churches, we also build churches. When funding allows, we look for opportunities to build churches to give congregations in Central America a place to gather and worship the Creator. Through a team of staff, volunteers, lots of prayers and the generous support of many donors we are able to help grow God's kingdom! In this photo several volunteers are helping us to place concrete pillars in place as part of a prefabricated concrete construction system. Large blocks, with tongues on their edges are then slid down between the pillars from the top. Almost like a walled fence. An interesting system and just one step towards constructing a beautiful church for the community. Sign up for our free digital magazine on our website.

In the Book of Ecclesiastes, work is portrayed as both a profound gift from God and a meaningful endeavor that brings purpose to human life. Ecclesiastes 3:13 states, “That each of them may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all their toil—this is the gift of God” (NIV). This perspective underscores that work is not merely a means of survival but a divine calling, imbued with significance and the potential to reflect God’s creative and redemptive purposes. For Water for Life, an organization dedicated to providing clean, fresh water to communities in Guatemala, this understanding of work as a gift from God resonates deeply, connecting our labor to the urgent needs of those in dire circumstances.
The labor of Water for Life’s staff, volunteers, and supporters—whether drilling wells, fundraising, or teaching—seeks to mirror the Ecclesiastical view of work as a gift. Each task, no matter how small, contributes to a larger purpose: restoring hope and health to those in dire need. The satisfaction derived from this toil, as Ecclesiastes describes, comes not only from the physical outcome (clean water) but from knowing that these efforts align with God’s heart for justice and compassion. By working diligently, Water for Life (WFL) participates in God’s redemptive plan, bringing life-giving water to those who thirst, both physically and spiritually.
Water for Life’s mission in Guatemala exemplifies this truth, as our dedicated labor provides clean water to those in dire need, addressing both physical and spiritual thirst. Giving water acts as a spring board to reach others with the gospel. As we view this work through the lens of Ecclesiastes, efforts become a powerful testimony to the transformative impact of God-given toil. Each well drilled, leads to many lives changed, and reflects the joy and purpose of work as a gift—one that flows like water, bringing life to the weary and hope to the hopeless.
