At the Bucket Ministry, it’s more than just clean water. Their mission is to provide clean, safe drinking water and the Living Water to families living in under-resourced areas around the world. They give away long-lasting water filters and share the gospel in communities afflicted by clean water scarcity and spiritual darkness.
Community Pastor Matt Arnett joins Dale on today’s 95Podcast to share how providing these long-lasting water filters creates an open door for evangelism and discipleship in many countries around the world. Matt also serves as the Director of “Business on Mission” and “Church on Mission” for The Bucket Ministry.

Key Takeaways
1) Even the most skeptical people will often open their homes to someone who can provide practical help to improve the living conditions of their family.
2) Each water filter has a barcode that allows us to track exactly how many families we have helped by providing clean water.
3) It is normal for us to have at least four visits with a family once they have received a bucket with the filter.
4) Our hope is to create disciples of Jesus who will also reach many more people with the Gospel.
