“Our calling is not simply to change the world but perhaps as important, our calling is to be changed ourselves.”

Global 6K for Water
-
EVERY STEP YOU TAKE IS ONE THEY WON’T HAVE TO
Six kilometers is the average distance a person in the majority of the world walks for water. On May 9 or 16, 2026, walk, run or roll the Global 6K for clean water in northwest DR Congo. When you and thousands of others cross the finish line, you’ll help change the lives of women and children by freeing them from a life spent collecting dirty water.
HELP US HIT $250K!
Last year, 2,300+ Covenanters across 78 teams raised over $236,000 for life‑saving clean water in the Democratic Republic of Congo. This year, we’re aiming for $250,000—will you join us?
