About

Our mission is to bring clean drinking water and the gospel of jesus christ to families worldwide in desperate need of both. We carry out this mission through short-term trips in latin america and partnerships with church planters reaching unreached people groups. Filter of hope exists to create socio-spiritual transformation for families living in severe poverty worldwide. This is DONE by providing clean drinking water through the distribution of household water filters and sharing the "living water" of jesus christ in partnership with local churches and ministries around the globe. The filter of hope ministry model allows families in desperate need to experience "health for today and hope for tomorrow"

In care of Frank Barton Smelley
