World Vision Water Quality

“For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and
streams on the dry ground; I will pour out my
Spirit on your offspring, and my blessing on
your descendants.”
“They will spring up like grass in a meadow
like poplar trees by flowing streams. One
will say, 'I belong to the LORD '; another will
call himself by the name of Jacob; still
another will write on his hand, 'The LORD's,'
and will take the name Israel.”
Isaiah 44: 3-5
