(Photo: AP/via CBN News) The renowned Gospel singers and multiple Grammy Award winners are partnering with Penske Corporation, Wayne Metro and Wal-Mart to hand deliver 6,000 cases of water to the Michigan populace who have suffered from lead contamination. Perfecting Faith Church, where Pastor McClurkin serves as the overseer, raised $5,000 to purchase over 2,000 cases of bottled water to donate to residents of Flint. "This is not a one-time donation. We will put forth out best efforts to continue to aid and assist Flint residents as long as there is a water issue," McClurkin said. The PFC donation will be a part of the shipment scheduled for delivery on Thursday that's spearheaded by Winans, who serves as Perfecting Faith's bishop. "As a show of support for the residents of the city of Flint—due to no fault of their own—we the churches of Perfecting Fellowship International join with the efforts of Penske Corporation, Wayne Metro, Walmart and Rutherford Winans Academy to bring relief to all affected by this water crisis," Bishop Winans said. "We pledge to continue our support with this effort," he added. Winans' and McClurkin's congregation are not the only churches to hand deliver bottled water. Members of Gideon Christ Community Church drove 40 miles from the church's Saginaw location to hand out 350 cases of water. "Jesus said that they would know that you are my disciples when you have love for one another and that was the need," explained Pastor Chet Atkins. "I was prompted by the Holy Spirit that I had to do something." "Flint residents were concerned with 'somebody do something about this,'" he said. Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder has proposed to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to address the water crisis. His plan would direct $195 million toward the water emergency and $165 million for the statewide infrastructure needs, including replacing a portion of lead and copper water lines.
