World Vision 6K Walk for Water
5/17/2025
UPDATE: Surely God is Walking with Us
Our final total donations collected for the World Vision Global 6K for Water on Saturday, May 17, 2025 was $6,770, far exceeding our $1000 goal... nearly seven times over! Thanks to Janet Locklear for getting Good Shepherd involved in this effort to bring life-changing clean water to those who need it the most. Although our 13-member team was small, we placed in the top 10% of funds raised (#50 of 504 teams worldwide). A special thanks to our approximately 100 generous donors and to all our participant fundraisers: Natalie Sweeney ($1,825), Tim Hall ($1,605), Charlene Fu ($1,380), Peggy Carter ($700), Janet ($305), Colonel Locklear & Judy Hall, and the six Lebanon, NH teammates ($300). Natalie placed #44 out of 14,747 individual fundraisers!
We pray a blessing on the Christian workers at World Vision who will be bringing life-giving water to those in need and spreading the good news of living water that never runs dry through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. God is indeed good… all the time!
Our Previous Appeal: CLEAN WATER IS LIFE
-
More than 800 children under the age of 5 die every day from diarrhea caused by contaminated water, poor sanitation, and improper hygiene.
-
Furthermore, the average distance many women and children in the developing world walk for water is 6K (3.7mi).
-
Together, with others around the world, we can fix this ...
Good Shepherd’s goal is to raise $1,000 for this truly life-changing event! -
