This new series highlights organizations that, in my estimation, are on the frontlines of mercy ministries, but not just any mercy ministries. They are ministries focusing on orphan care. They\u2019ve taken James 1:27 to heart.<\/p>\n
What is Sixty Feet<\/em>?<\/p>\n Sixty Feet is an action-based organization created At the turn of the 20th century, Winston Churchill described Uganda as \u201cthe Pearl of Africa\u201d. He was illustrating the beauty of the land. Indeed, in this lush African country, there is no shortage of water. Yet much of the water in Uganda is polluted. Experts tell us, often less than 60 feet down, they find crystal clear, clean water that changes these peoples\u2019 lives forever.<\/p>\n Less than sixty feet below the dusty little feet of these orphans is the purest water they could ever drink\u2026waiting for the children\u2026 just out of their reach. It doesn\u2019t take much to go sixty feet.<\/p>\n Sixty Feet is about changing lives forever.<\/p>\n
\nto bring hope and restoration to the imprisoned children of Africa in Jesus’ name. We are not referring to a figurative prison of poverty or circumstance, but real places, with real bars.<\/p>\n
\nFor us this is not even close to being just about water. We have big dreams for these children that if we told you, you might think we are crazy. We know God loves these orphan children at \u201cM\u201d. Everything does seem just out of their reach, but we are doing something about it.<\/p>\n
