Amor is on its way back to Cancun!  We are on the journey of creating (from the ground up) a Training and Retreat Center.  There is so many more details about the center in Cancun that we will share, but for now we just want to share that we have broken ground with the help of eMi (Engineer Ministries International).

eMi is currently looking to fulfill some opportunities to serve as part of eMi to help Amor!  There are a few of the details below, but check out their listing for more information HERE.

Pastor Jose Luis leads the Amor Team delivering water filtration systems to families.

Pastor Jose Luis assembles the water filter and instructs on its use and maintenance.

It is this simple: Dirty water....

...becomes clean, potable water...

...which is one less thing for this family to worry about.

Give the gift of Clean Water For Life.

The Project Hope program Clean Water for Life is here! Many meetings and many prayers have brought us to this point and all because of a vision God gave one of our founders, Scott Congdon. It has always been our purpose to support the ministry of the local church in Mexico. This is one of the many ways that you can help out!

Clean Water for Life is a Project Hope program that provides families with a sponsored water filtration system that will filter whatever water a family in need can access. The Sawyer Point One Filter is the definition of Appropriate Technologies. This small filter uses the same technology as kidney dialysis called hollow fiber membrane technology. The filter meets and exceeds EPA requirements for drinking water and maintains a very efficient flow rate of five gallons in 13 minutes. The design is very simple and easy to use. The filter is attached to a hose that attaches to a five gallon bucket. Non potable water goes in the bucket and potable water comes out the filter thanks to the motivating power of gravity. It removes harmful organic compounds from the water such as bacteria, protozoa, cysts, E. Coli, Giardia, and Cryptosporidium making the water safe to drink. The filter is guaranteed for one million gallons which is essentially a life long guarantee for the family. It never has to be replaced. The only maintenance required is a simple back flushing of the system with clean water when the flow rate slows down using a bulb that is provided with the filter.

For our families this filter means that they can save, on average, $80 per year on drinking water. That is enough in savings to send a child to school for a year. There is no easier way to make a difference in the life of a family. For $100 you can give a family clean water for the rest of their lives!

How? You or you and some friends can sponsor a water filter for $100. The family will receive a certificate containing information on how to contact the local pastor to redeem the certificate for a filter and information on the filter in general. The family will then call or go to the pastor’s church and get their water filter packet including the bucket and instructions on care and maintenance of the filter.

Please partner with us. Buy a water filter online or next time you are down on a trip with us in Mexico.
