Recently, employees with the engineering firm Fleis & Vandendbrink gathered together with a common goal - to assemble 50 CPUs! Thankfully that goal was achieved and the CPUs should be headed overseas in 2027 where each will be able to help between 1000 and 10,000 people on a regular basis.

We are grateful for F & V's ongoing support of SWIM and are hopeful their example will inspire others to partner with us in this important work!

While some get excited because it's Fall season, U.S. football season, etc. - at SWIM, we love this time of year because its "Build Event" season! An important few months as we prepare to send more CPU kits to our trainers early next year.

We are so grateful and thankful for our current and new supporters in the Grand Rapids area who heard about our recent (and ongoing) activities in Nepal and came out and assembled 50 CPUs, and gave generously as well!

Here are a few pictures from "Rich's Garage" community build.

Does our CPU device "filter" unsafe water and remove contaminants making the water "clean" and safe to drink? NO!

Does our CPU device create food grade chlorine that is then added in small quantities to clear or muddy water and kills bacteria and microbes that can often lead to illness outside the U.S? YES!

We want to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who responded to our recent request for financial and prayer support for our flood relief efforts in Nepal! We appreciate you stepping out in faith to help, and many in Nepal are currently drinking safe water and hearing the Gospel because of your generosity!

NEPAL FLOOD RELIEF URGENT NEED:
We are supporting Nepali-led SWIM teams that are setting up 10 central production locations to produce chlorine to create safe water for thousands in affected areas.

Our trainers are currently in contact with 8 different churches that are providing information on the need and organizing relief efforts.

Our goal is to raise funds to support these efforts. We currently have 2 donors who have given $1600 and are asking for contributions to match this amount.

Please consider giving today to help us reach our goal!

"Show me!"

Sometimes when our trainers speak to a group for the first time, there is skepticism and debate about what is making them sick. Our trainers explain it is bad bacteria/microbes in the water, but often times in certain regions the audience wants proof. This is where the microscope comes in to play with a drop of water from the local water source being magnified so that the people in attendance can see the bad bacteria "swimming and dancing." Add to that a drop of chlorine produced using the CPU that stops the movement (indicating the bacteria is dead) and the group is convinced and ready to begin their own efforts to make safe water for many in their area.

What a beautiful picture of time in the word of God with those who are about to receive chlorine. Seeing those bibles open is amazing!

Can you imagine yourself being there talking to people about what God has done in your life, about His love and faithfulness? People need and want to hear your testimony!

If this picture speaks to you - please reach out to us. We would love to talk to you about possibly going on a mission trip with us!

(Thanks to the Katchale Safe Water Committee for their continued great work spreading living water and safe water, too!)

Kelly - thank you for your "yes" to our request!

We are so grateful to our ministry friends for taking along on their mission trip to Malawi an extra bag filled with 30 CPU kits! Thousands of people will greatly benefit from this small act of kindness!

If you or someone you know is going on a mission trip to a country we are very active in (Kenya, Uganda, Malawi, Tanzania, Zambia, and parts of Asia) please reach out to us as we could use your help transporting CPU kits! We are happy to cover bag fees.

If you or someone you know is going to a country that has widespread drinking water contamination - please reach out to us to see if we can partner to address the issue!

Typhoid - a word Africans don't want to hear when it comes to their village.

Recently, an in-country SWIM trainer in Kenya heard of a Typhoid outbreak, so he traveled to the village and gifted them a CPU kit that will be used to make the water safe to drink for a large number of people.

While there, the Gospel was preached, 2 accepted Christ, and Bibles were given out.
