Carmel hosted a team from First Presbyterian Church of Ambler's Clean Water Ministry for a Mission Sunday on April 12. After worship and a pot luck lunch, FPCA team members described their efforts since 2015 to provide pure water to El Salvador communities in need. Partnering with local Salvadoran communities and PC-USA's Living Waters for the World, the Ambler team installs clean water systems, provides education on their use, and maintains a relationship with the community. Results have been dramatic in reducing deaths and chronic diseases from unsafe water. Ambler invited Carmel to explore a variety of ways in which we could participate in this ministry.
