oUR PHILOSOPHY
According to most of cultures a "Cup of Cool Water" is given to a guest or pilgrim to express to him or to her that they are proud of him or her. It is an act of generosity, which does not require reward or payment. A guest is offered that for free! Surprisingly, Jesus promises wonderful rewards to whoever supports one of believers as you can see it in Mathew 10: 40 - 42.
Our ministry is not limited to believers only. Instead, we assist whoever in need as Jesus Christ encourages us to do: “That you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous” (Mat. 5:45, NIV). This way, a cup of cool water can be any of the least or the most of needs that one cannot substitute by anything else unless it is properly met for fulfilment of the needy either partly or fully.
Cup of Cool Water operates in a variety of domains to uplift the poorest and give an opportunity to willing and talented people from all over the world to do something to improve critical Burundi people’s conditions. We are involved in a holistic mission, which encompasses evangelism, counselling, advocacy, promoting Christian songs and literature. It is accompanied by Pastoral and Social Care, Community Development activities, Reconciliation and Healing of wounds caused by painful memories.
