Go Beyond | Water

Our team handed the water well over to the village of Los Cernas today. The people of this small village have been praying for a water well — a reliable source of clean water — for 11 years! We are so thankful that God chose us to be the answer to their prayers. We had a wonderful time of celebration as we dedicated the water well to God and presented it to the people of Los Cernas. We will never forget the prayers, testimonies, laughter, and fellowship we enjoyed at the dedication ceremony. Thank you for praying for our team and for following our adventure.

Today we put the well pipe in the ground and flushed water from the well. The sun hit the water spray and delivered a beautiful rainbow. A wonderful reminder of Gods promise.

We drilled to a total depth of 215 feet today. We were able to get to 180 using air drilling and then we had to switch over to mud rotary for the final push. But we did complete drilling today!!  The men from Las Cernas have really helped out … and always with a smile.

The hygiene team taught about flys and the germs they carry. The illustration tool used with the kids is glitter. Once it is out of the bottle the glitter is everywhere — just like germs — until you wash your hands.

Thanks to all who are praying for us. It is very much  appreciated.

Our team traveled from Houston to El Salvador yesterday to drill our 14th water well in Central America in partnership with our friends at Living Water International.

Today we went to the village of Los Cernas. A gathering of community members and school children were awaiting our arrival. It was quite the welcome.

We visited some homes and the nearby school before we began drilling. By 5:30 PM we reached 90 feet. Drilling was bit challenging at first because the ground was very soft and loose and we were afraid  the hole would collapse around us. But God provided yet again and we had a very successful day.
