Pure Water, Pure Love and WorldCrafts Make an Impact at Hill Top Crafts in Thailand

WMU Compassion Ministries Pure Water, Pure Love (PWPL) and WorldCrafts work together to provide clean water resources to artisans and their communities around the world.

The Need for Clean Water

Every day, individuals in communities around the world walk miles to gather water, and in most of these situations, the water is unclean, causing illness and unsanitary conditions. Through PWPL, communities and individuals are gaining access to clean water resources and hearing about the Father, who is the Living Water. Through the provision of clean water and meeting physical needs, many lives are being changed and the Father is at work.

Hill Top Crafts

Many years ago, a WMU group began a relationship with Hill Top Crafts, an artisan group in Thailand. As a result, the need for clean water resources in the community was realized, and in 2019 a PWPL grant was provided to Hill Top Crafts to build a well in the community.

A team from the United States traveled to the community where the well was being built. During their time meeting and building relationships with those from this community, they began discussions of Hill Top Crafts becoming a WorldCrafts artisan group.

A team member shared, “While we were there, I watched the Father at work. The Father is wonderful, and He connected us.” She said it’s apparent the women creating these purses now see “the Father is at the center of their story.” The artisans now have dreams for Hill Top Crafts. “This is their own journey,” the team member said. “They can see their work as more than just producing a product to sell—the products are making a difference.”

Celebrating 25 Years of Transformed Lives

The story of Hill Top Crafts is one example of the Father’s work through WMU Compassion Ministries, as each ministry connects together to further His plan. Grants for water projects are regularly provided for WorldCrafts artisan groups so artisans and their families have access to clean water. The Father has been at work over the last 25 years through PWPL and WorldCrafts, and He will be faithful to continue working in the years to come.
