About Our Mission
The purpose, goals, and spirit of the Ika Mission Water project are of the same spirit as the Stewards Company mission; to help the people physically and guide them spiritually. IMWP's main thrust is towards providing water wells to lessen the affliction of poverty without prejudice to tribe, affluence, or religion. We grieve when we see children suffering and hear of them dying because of water born disease. We strive to make their lives and future happier and healthier, and all the while we work we are ever mindful of being ambassadors of God; to show the Love of God and pray for more souls to be won for God's kingdom.
