COVENANT KIDS CONGO

Global 6K for Water

EVERY STEP YOU TAKE IS ONE THEY WON’T HAVE TO

Six kilometers is the average distance a person in the majority of the world walks for water. On May 16, 2026, walk or run the Global 6K in your neighborhood for clean water in northwest DR Congo. When you and thousands of others cross the finish line, you’ll help change the lives of women and children by freeing them from a life spent collecting dirty water.

Help Us Hit $250K!

Last year, 2,300+ Covenanters across 78 teams raised over $236,000 for life‑saving clean water in the Democratic Republic of Congo. This year, we’re aiming for $250,000—will you join us?

How to Run a Team World Vision Endurance Race for Covenant Kids Congo

Want to go even further? Run an endurance race for Covenant Kids Congo through Team World Vision! Follow the steps below.

  1. Go to TeamWorldVision.org and search for events in your area. Sign up for a race. Follow the Team World Vision training plan to prepare for your race, and check out the fundraising tips. If there isn’t an event listed in your area, you can sign up for a DIY race.
  2. Email Covenant Kids Congo to ensure that your fundraising is designated for Congo. If you’re signing up with your church, only your church team needs to contact Covenant Kids Congo. (It also helps to put “Covenant” or “CKC” in your team name so we can easily find you.) If you’re signing up as an individual on your own, please email us so we can make sure to count you for Covenant Kids Congo!

Regardless of where you go next, keep praying for our sisters and brothers in Congo. Merci Mingi – Thank you very much!

Prior to moving to the USA, I was a professor at the National University of Colombia and served with the International Fellowship of Evangelical Students in Colombia for 16 years. Starting in 2001, I served as InterVarsity National Staff in the USA. I have a master’s degree in Christian Ministries, and I serve in Spiritual Direction to those who want to be fully present and available to God and receive His grace over them. My joy is to see professors and college students coming to know Jesus and being transformed into people that bring the good news of righteousness and justice to others.
