2.1 billion people worldwide lack access to safe water at home. The global water crisis claims 3.4 million lives each year. Every 43 seconds, a child dies from preventable waterborne diseases.

Crossings is partnering with Water4, one of our strategic global ministry partners, for the annual Walk4Water4 event on Saturday, September 28 from 8:30-11:00 a.m. Help support Water4’s mission to unlock the potential of African communities with safe and Living Water through businesses on mission.

Walk4Water4 is an opportunity for you to take action in the global fight to bring safe water to all people. By participating as a volunteer or by walking in the event, you help create a world where all people have access to lifesaving safe water in contexts of poverty while also sharing the love of Jesus in locations like Fogbo Sierra Leone, where our Crossings team saw, firsthand, how lives were being transformed with clean and Living Water this year.

You can walk in-person at Scissortail Park (any distance with any quantity of water), walk wherever you are, or sign up to volunteer!

This is a fun and meaningful way for everyone in the family to make a difference and to be reminded together of the blessings we all enjoy.

All participants are also encouraged to raise funds to help provide access to safe water in partnership with Water4. These funds help to provide jobs and provide clean water to households, schools, and hospitals. In each location, Discovery Bible Studies are ensuring that communities are being discipled in God’s Word. Fundraising resources can be found at water4.org/walk.

Only $350 provides piped, safe water to a home, which means every individual and group can make a tangible and lifelong impact for a family in rural Africa. 

In addition to the walk, there will be interactive activities for children, food trucks, music, and more!
