Clean water

We have been working at a nearby rural health clinic to upgrade the maternity ward and bring better conditions to the area. One part of this project is to dig a bore hole that will eventually provide clean water to the clinic and many of the surrounding villagers. Below are some pictures and short video of the drilling machine doing its work. We hit rock from 35 meter-50 meter but eventually found water around the 55m mark. The drill people continued the hole until 65 meters and then inserted steel metal casing to protect the hole from collapse. 

We hope this week to install the solar panels, submersible pump, tank stand, and 10,000 liter tanks! So excited to see the Lord do this work and provide for these people. So many have come to church saying they have seen the love of Christ through these type of works. It is great that we can provide clean water but our ultimate goal is that the Lord would provide Living Water to the people!
