Update on the Well!

Good news - we have confirmed with experts in the water purification industry that Living Water is a good organization to use for digging the well. We had heard that several organizations will dig a well for a lower cost but that after a year there is a huge risk that the well may not be operating correctly, that the filtration system may be broken and the cost of repairing the well could be thousands of dollars. Hearing that Living Water is a reputable, trustworthy organization is wonderful news.

More good news - we are going to dig 2 wells for the school!

When I first got the news that we would need 2 wells for the school I was immediately discouraged. Instead of raising $10,000, we would now need to raise $24,000 and in my mind that was just too much. But as I began to think about it more, I realized a few things: 1) there are many people out there with generous, giving hearts that will support this goal, 2) God is good and will provide for His people and 3) nothing will be accomplished by worrying or stressing out.

God is fully capable of providing $24,000 for the wells and I need to believe that with all my heart. While I am fully aware that God works according to His time and not mine, I would still really love to have the wells dug by Christmas!

I will keep this updated as we learn more information.

Thank you all for your love, support and prayers.

"Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the Lord." Psalm 31:24
