Title: Gospel for Asia
Topic: Water in the Name of Jesus
Discussed by Daniel Punnose
with Gospel for Asia (www.gfa.org)
Yesterday, Tuesday, March 22, was World Water Day. It is an
important day to reflect on and remember the 3.4 million people who die
worldwide each year from water-related diseases. We in America cannot fathom the
thought of traveling miles each day just to gather a few bucket-fulls of water
for our family to cook with. And forget about indoor plumbing and taking a
shower after a long day working outside. There is no such luxury in many
countries around the world – even in 2016.
Daniel Punnose is the Vice President for Gospel for Asia, a
Christ-following organization which brings help and hope to the millions of
people in the Eastern Hemisphere who have never heard of the saving grace of
Jesus Christ. GFA’s mission is simple: quench physical thirst by
supplying people with clean, safe drinking water and satisfy their spiritual
thirst by spreading the Good News.
What is a BioSand Filter? A BioSand Filter is a device which strips water of
impurities. They are inexpensive to make and the materials to construct the
devises are found locally. When water runs through the filter, it comes out 98%
pure and is so simple even a child can use it! Listen in as Daniel Punnose
recounts his many visits to various places in Asia with his father and the long
process of boiling and cleaning water. The water is so unclean in many parts of
the world that you cannot even accidentally swallow any while you are brushing
your teeth! That is how valuable BioSand Filters are to millions of people
across the globe.
As believers, we should all have the compassion of Christ and be moved to
action. We are all called to get involved by the Great Commission. Most
importantly, we can all pray. “This is not an awareness campaign. This is a
campaign to see a difference made,” Daniel Punnose implores.
Daniel urges listeners to sponsor a BioSand Filter for just $30. Click

Part 1 of 3
There are over 300,000,000 (that’s 300 MILLION) Dalits – or
“Untouchables” – in India. Millions more across Asia. These people
are considered outcasts and are often not allowed to use local water wells,
posing a serious health threat.
Listen in as Daniel Punnose, with Gospel for Asia, shares how you can
help.

How often have you had to walk for hours just to fill a dirty bucket with dirty
water for your family to use for bathing, drinking, and cooking? Many women in
Asia must do just that – along with their daughters.
I cannot imagine the difficulty these people face every day. They cannot simply
turn on a faucet to wash their hands or get a cold drink of water. Most have
never even had cold, clean water.
What can – what WILL – you do to help?

What happens when the wells and ponds dry up during the summer
months? How do these Dalits obtain water to survive?
Gospel for Asia has a goal to drill 5,000 water wells during the next
year. Each well costs $1,000. If you and 9 of your friends each gave $100 each,
you could provide clean, fresh water to people who are in desperate need. Do you
have 9 friends? I do.
Log on to www.GFA.org to learn how. Take
the information to work and ask co-workers to help. Tell your Bible Study Class
how you would like to sponsor a well and ask them to chip in. Invite your
neighbors for evening coffee and dessert and explain how they can be part of something amazing halfway across the world and change a life forever. When we all join together, wonderful things will happen in the Name of Jesus.
