   Chris Beth - The Bucket Ministry (S04E05)

   In this episode of Mission Chats, Chris Beth, founder of The Bucket Ministry, shares the remarkable story of coming to faith later in life and the “aha” moment when God revealed his calling in a remote house on the Amazon River. What began as a desire to help people have access to clean water has grown into a ministry impacting the health and well-being of people around the world. Chris is passionate about using clean water as a doorway to the Gospel. Through simple but effective water filters, The Bucket Ministry meets a very real physical need while creating opportunities for meaningful spiritual conversations and sharing the hope of Christ.
