December Review


Although we were all about drilling wells, the people on whom we were dependent were all about the December holiday. In Malawi, many workers are given the entire month of December for a break. Despite the challenges of the season, Larry was able to drill two more wells successfully. Truthfully, he needed to take a break. Drilling is hard and doing back-to-back wells takes its toll on him and the crew.

The experience for Larry and Andy in the village has been a tremendous blessing and benefit. Not only for them, but for the presentation of the Gospel. The crew that Larry takes with him are Bible college graduates with a heart to teach about Jesus. Rita, Andy's fiance went with them for a few days and taught the kids about Jesus.

Larry said the people in the second village did not want to help the chief because they did not like him. He smelled of alcohol when they arrived, but one of our workers was able to share the Gospel with him. We pray his heart will be changed by the presence of Christ being in his village that day. The chief's heart melted somewhat when the clean water flowed from the well and he grabbed a bucket to save water for his bath. It's a start. The people were given hope that day - teaching about Jesus, the Living Water, and clean water to make their lives better.  
                                                                  

Please continue to pray for the Lord's provision as wells continue to produce water and the hope and presence of our Savior is presented in villages. 

CHE

Rita and Grace continue to serve the Lord developing the village of Lemesi. They recently reported that the people are so receptive of CHE principles. One lady who was not a Christian said she would never have stayed around to listen about Jesus, but the way He has been presented, she wants to hear more. She is a woman of influence in the village. We are praying that she will become a fully-devoted follower of Jesus Christ as she hears more about His great love and mercy. 

Please continue to pray that our CHE work will increase, thus spreading the message of Jesus in the Lemesi and surrounding communities that many more will come to know Christ and be discipled to lead others.

TRUCK NEEDED!

Please pray with us that funds will be received soon for a good truck. If you feel led to help, please give through this link: http://www.gofundme.com/truck-clean-water or send a check to the address listed below. We still have a ways to go, but we are confident that the Lord will provide. 
 

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

We realize some of you will be seeing this after Christmas, but if yours is like our family, the holidays sort of run into each other and we enjoy the whole season and squeeze as much as we can get out of it. We don't like it to end. May you be blessed beyond measure during the season and may you experience true worship and peace in your heart.
