Lives Impacted
Water is life. Hope is essential.
In Nicaragua, 80% of people live on less than $2 a day. Families walk miles to rivers filled with pesticides for water their children cannot safely drink. Aqua de Vida repairs wells, teaches maintenance, and shares the living water of Jesus Christ.
With your help, we have supplied over 1,500 homes across 50 communities with bacteria-free water — and we are just getting started.

John 4:14
What We Do
Three pillars of ministry in Nicaragua
Repair Wells
We fix broken wells and train communities to maintain them for generations — fishers of men with practical skills.
Share the Gospel
Daily Bible studies and prayer. We are Jesus' hands and feet, showing His love to villages that have felt abandoned.
Food Pantries
Bags of hope with fresh food for the hungry — a glimmer of hope and a sample of the generosity of Jesus.

At the Fork in the Road
The road into Santa Marta never gets easier. Every time I drive it, I wonder if the truck will make it through the rocks and riverbeds. Part of me wants to turn back, but deep down I know God put this road in front of me for a reason.
