SERVING WITH HAYS PURE WATER

ABOUT

 John Birthday 12/06

I grew up in church. I do not remember ever hearing the Gospel. It was in college that I was asked what the Cross of Jesus meant to me. I did not know.  I studied the Bible and realized He loved me and died for my sins. I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Saviour on September 21, 1974. I was baptized shortly after in the university swimming pool. I am now a member of and sent out of Marion Avenue Baptist Church under the leadership of Pastor Joseph Brown.

Farming was my god, but I followed Christ’s calling to enter public water treatment for three decades, starting in 1980 till 2010. He placed on my heart the need to invent and distribute a water-treatment system in 2004. I believe these Scriptures for my ministry:  Matthew 25:35 and John 4.  I serve Jesus in each thirsty person and witness to offer living water. I am in my second decade of this ministry. God has let me manufacture 5,000 systems and distribute them in 50 countries. In Sudan, Africa, for example, 1,200 villages were given both waters.  More information and testimonies can be found at Hays Pure Water.

I began working in the ministry in 2005 and have seen many in 50 countries in 5,000 villages saved, grow in Christ, and become fruitful soul winners. My burden is to reach more around the world with both drinking and living water and to train them to become effective and fruitful soul winners. I have developed and manufacture a water machine that perfectly treats water for up to 5,000 people for several decades.

My desire is to work with the missionaries of Fundamental Baptist Missions International and assist them in planting churches. I want to see people saved and then train them to become soul winners. In addition, I have a strong burden to reach their entire village for Christ. This will be most effective through the water ministry-serving missionaries.

This will take much labor and sacrifice. I am ready to reach more of the world. I invite you to pray and consider partnering with me in this effort through your prayers and finances. Please contact me if you would allow me to share my burden and calling with you and your church.

If I can serve you in any way, please allow me to do so.

In 2006, after traveling around developing nations on missions trips, John Hays was burdened to create a low cost, portable solution for water purification. After reading the historical account of Elisha cleansing the water of Jericho in II Kings 2, John put his 30+ years of experience with municipal water works to use and developed the Khlor Gen system.

Through the years, the design and look has been changed and improved, but the mission has stayed the same. Provide people with clean water, reaching out to them through word and deed. Eight years and 4,000 units later, that mission continues full steam ahead.

  • John Hays Prayer Letter: Your Support Encourages Us!

    John Hays Prayer Letter: Your Support Encourages Us!We are so grateful to have you as part of the Pure Water for All family. Your support encourages us to continue bringing clean, life-changing water—and the message of hope—to communities around the world. Here’s a look at what your generosity has helped accomplish this past month.

    Life-Changing Mission in Lima, Peru

    This month, our team, joined by a dedicated preacher, traveled across eight villages in Lima, Peru, spreading both clean water and the Gospel. In addition to visiting these remote areas, we were able to make meaningful stops at one hospital, two medical centers, five schools, and a local market. We also had the honor of equipping three local pastors and two mayors with water systems, empowering their leadership to better serve their communities. The greatest joy of all—72 individuals accepted Christ as their personal Saviour, including three doctors and one nurse! What an incredible reminder that our mission is not only to quench physical thirst but to reach spiritual hearts.

    Impact in Liberia

    Our work also extended to Liberia, where we provided pure-water systems to military leaders—opening a path for cleaner water access in their regions. In a noble act of commitment, leaders from surrounding villages walked miles on foot to receive systems for their villages. This moment was a powerful testimony of the value clean water holds for these villages and the determination of local leaders to provide for their people.

    Thank You

    These victories are only possible because of your continued support, prayers, and generosity. Each system distributed, each life touched, and each heart transformed reflects the impact you’re making through this ministry.
