Since 1998, New Life International, Inc.’s mission has been to provide safe water and deliver the Gospel of Jesus Christ throughout the world. A very durable, yet cost-effective and simple-to-operate, water purifier was invented by Duvon McGuire that creates chlorine to disinfect water. One purifier has the capability of serving a school, orphanage, clinic, hospital or even an entire community. In 2020, NLI began to expand its solutions by launching a cutting-edge Innovation Center that introduced automated water purification as well as wound healing, hand sanitation, and surface disinfection solutions.
We envision a world where all people have access to solutions that enhance physical and spiritual well-being. To that end, our technology has been deployed to over 80 countries globally, including more than 4,000 of our flagship water purification systems. Missionaries, pastors, and church leaders who know of a need for our solutions come to our campus in Underwood, Indiana, for a free, one-day training on proper placement and installation. It is through these relationships that New Life International is able to bring hope and healing to the uttermost parts of the world.
Whether you’re currently on the mission field or your present stage of life doesn’t allow you to go on mission, you can play a part in making a difference in communities around the world.
