When the Presbyterian Church of
Ghana held its 11th General Assembly
at Ramseyer Training Centre in the
West African city of Abetif-Kwahu Au-
gust 25-28, more than 600 participants
from Ghana, Europe, Australia, North
America and other African countries
enjoyed refreshing clean water pro-
cessed by LWW Ghana Network.
Our own Rev. Wil Howie, visiting
Ghana in April 2011, had encouraged
the Revs. Daniel Opong-Wereko and
Kof Amfo-Akonnor to follow through
with their idea to bottle and use LWW
treated water for the GA meeting. And
so they indeed let the clean water fow!
On August 25, during a pre-assem-
bly GA Council meeting at Pepease-
Rev. Daniel Opong-Wereko

has installed systems all over the Hai-
tian peninsula, as far north as Port-de-
Paix and as far south as Les Cayes.
Knowing that even more teams
plan to visit Haiti and install systems,
the LWW Haiti Network has already set
its sights toward 2012. In late January, a
warehouse will be opened in Palmiste-
Au-Vin, just north of Leogane. This will
enable Operating Partners in Haiti to
buy specifc parts to maintain their sys-

In the Port-Au-Prince airport in
October, a gentleman came up to me,
noticing the Living Waters For The
World logo on my shirt. He had been in
Arcahaie all week with a medical mis-
sion team and had been drinking clean
water from an LWW system.
Stories like this happen every time I
visit Haiti. Either someone has heard of
our organization,or they have seen our
logo while driving down the road.
When Jerry Goode, former Haiti
Relief Project Manager, set a goal of
having 11 Haiti clean water systems
installed in 2011, he thought he was
dreaming big. Never in his wildest
dreams did he think the Living Waters
for the World teams would practically
double that goal, but they have!
At press time, LWW teams had over
the years installed 48 active clean water
systems in Haiti. This does not count
scheduled system installations in No-
vember and December. The year 2012
may even break this year’s record!
Following the massive earthquake
on January 12, 2010, water teams
showed up in massive numbers to help
Haitians meet a foundational need of
life – clean water. This year, LWW, in

Village, proudly display their banner. Bondlo + Men Pwop =

Haiti installations smash projections
tems and troubleshoot as needed.
The last weekend of February, the
network will host the Second Annual
Operators Conference in Montrouis.
Operators and educators will gather for
continuing education, problem-solving,
sustainability goals, and more. It is an
exciting time to serve with our Haitian
family in Christ!

Coordinating Team and a CWU instructor.
Kwahu, the Ghana Network Coordi-
nating Teammembers, led by Daniel,
Kof, Michael Asaimah and Lydia
Opong-Ansah, presented an initial 3,000
(500 ml) bottles of LWW treated water
to the clerk of the General Assembly,
Rev. Herbert Opong.
Present at that time were the
45-member strong GA Council, led
by the moderator of the General As-
sembly, the Rt. Rev. Prof. Emmanuel
Martey.
The network continued to supply
water for the assembly until it ended
three days later. The total cost of the
LWW water provided for the assembly
was 1,680 Ghana cedes, equal to $1,098
U.S. The entire General Assembly was
informed of the gesture from LWW’s
Ghana Network, and it was greatly ap-
preciated.
