About their Ministry...

Jim McGill serves with the Evangelical Church in the Republic of Niger (EERN) to improve its water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH). The EERN is the largest Protestant church in Niger. He recently penned an article in the Mission Crossroads magazine titled “Water is Life,” which amplified the importance of water in the mostly-desert country. He notes that having access to water leads to improvements in standards of living for a country with one of the lowest standards in the world.
