Water Ministry Transforms Africa's Largest Slum, Yielding a 'Great Harvest' of 22,000 Soul

NAIROBI, Kenya – In Kenya, hundreds of thousands are crammed into Africa's largest slum. Known as Kibera, it's a world where hope is often in short supply. In this darkness, however, a miracle is unfolding as a Texas-based ministry goes door-to-door, bringing God's love and life-changing water filters.

Infamous for its gritty reputation, where crime and violence lurk at nearly every corner, Kibera faces extreme poverty and gang violence, while lacking basic necessities like clean water and sanitation, earning its reputation as one of the "darkest, filthiest, and most hopeless places in the world."
