Blood Water Mission

Blood Water Mission is empowering communities to work together against the HIV/Aids & water crisis in Africa. This ministry organization builds fresh water wells in Africa, which is significant to health and AIDS prevention. By recycling your bottles and cans using the Recycle Bin located in the OVC parking lot, we can continue to help provide fresh water to those in need. http://www.bloodwatermission.com/

JUSTICE611

 “The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me, because the LORD has anointed Me to preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound” Isaiah 61:1
