Terry Tedford

Hi There!

My name is Terry Tedford. My family and I live just south of Denver and I have practiced family dentistry in Centennial Colorado for 36 years. Linda and I have been married 40 years and have 4 children and 5 grandchildren, all in Colorado!

I am thankful to have the opportunity to join the September 2018 Kilimanjaro Clean Water Climb and am hopeful and eager to ‘summit’ the highest mountain in Africa.

While the adventure of hiking 19,341 feet above sea level has an exhilarating appeal, it is not the main purpose for the Clean Water Climb. Rather, the CWC exists to raise financial support and awareness for Child Legacy International. Approximately 30,000 die each year in Malawi due to a lack of clean water. Child Legacy’s purpose is to eradicate sickness and death caused by contaminated water among Malawians by repairing broken water wells and providing clean water to communities throughout Malawi.

All of the money raised on my behalf for this climb, 100%, will be donated to Child Legacy International to further their efforts in Malawi. CLI also brings the truth of the Gospel to thousands in this country.

Jesus speaks to the Samaritan woman in the Gospel of John:

“…but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up to eternal life.” John 4:14

Our Kilimanjaro team will visit Malawi after the climb to assist with water well repair. We will present 5 Bible stories to these beautiful people. Lord willing, many will turn and receive God’s gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ.

The process of preparation and the attempt for the summit of Kilimanjaro will be challenging and most likely the hardest and most exhilarating thing I’ve ever done. I ask for your prayers for our team and as you see fit, your financial support to help me reach my goal of raising $5000 for Child Legacy International.

Thank You and God Bless,

Terry
