Bringing Clean Water and Living Hope to Hawassa region, Jinka, Addis Ababa and Beyond
This spring in April, RipplAffect had the tremendous blessing of partnering with It Is Written Ministry for an unforgettable mission trip to Hawassa, Ethiopia. Together with Parousia Ministry, local pastors & translators led by Abinet Yohannis, and the incredible support of the community, we embarked on a life-changing journey to deliver both clean water and the Living Water of Jesus Christ to thousands of people in desperate need.
Each day was filled with incredible teamwork, joy, and gratitude. Our dedicated mission team—alongside Pastor John Bradshaw, Pastor Wes Peppers, Dr. Gohalem Felema, Abinet, and many faithful local leaders—worked tirelessly to distribute over 550 water filtration systems in just a few days providing clean water to over 3,000 people. These simple yet powerful filters will provide safe drinking water for up to 10 years to families who have long struggled without it. And the work is not yet finished. An additional 450 filters are scheduled for distribution very soon, continuing the wave of hope and health throughout the region.
The Need is Tremendous — and So is the Opportunity
In Shisho and the surrounding villages, access to clean water remains a daily challenge. Contaminated water often leads to devastating health problems, especially for young children. Yet with each filter placed into the hands of a family, we witness more than just physical transformation—we see new hope spark in their eyes.
The filter is more than just a tool for survival; it becomes a bridge to share the Good News of Jesus Christ, the true source of Living Water.
A Partnership of Compassion and Faith
The collaboration between RipplAffect and It Is Written TV Ministry represents what is possible when we unite in compassion, faith, and purpose. Together, we are reaching beyond the borders of hardship to bring life, dignity, and eternal hope to the people of Ethiopia.
We are deeply grateful for every team member, supporter, translator, and local pastor who made this mission possible—and for the countless donors who made it a reality through their generosity.
