San Luis Obispo, Ca – 2/1/2015 – Lifewater International 501 (c) 3, a Christian water development organization dedicated to effectively serving vulnerable children and families with safe water, sanitation, and hygiene since 1977, is pleased to announce the appointment of Bobby deLancellotti as the organization’s new Church Mobilizer.

“We are excited to have Bobby in this new role as we work to increase our impact across the world. To do this, we must further our relationships with the local church in the United States,” said Justin Narducci, Lifewater’s CEO/President. “‘The local church is the hope of the world,’ and we are committed to activating it to make a positive difference and grow our time-tested program. Bobby is a key component to realize our vision of a movement of transformed people, serving together, to end the global water and sanitation crisis. Bobby’s knowledge of Lifewater, his ministry experience, and his passion for justice is the perfect fit to make this happen.”

• Worked with individuals to improve lives in over 40 countries
• Helped over 2.5 million people realize safe water, sanitation and hygiene – often for the first time
• Trained over 400,000 community members to better equip themselves against unsanitary water

In 2014, alone, Lifewater International:

• Helped 88,000 people realize new forms of sanitation solutions
• Helped over 89,000 people achieve new levels of hygiene that were previously unknown
• Trained over 30,000 local leaders on the benefits of clean and hygienic water

“As Church Mobilizer I am truly excited to have the opportunity to work with hundreds of thousands of dedicated individuals and their churches in a way that empowers them and changes the world with every new drop of clean water provided to those in need,” said Bobby. “I’m very passionate and energized by Lifewater’s ministry and their successful model for addressing it as it has true lasting impact on vulnerable children and families. I am humbled by this opportunity to grow these relationships and spread Lifewater’s message across the United States.”
