“Water is Life” is a quote from Pastor John Garang. He is the pastor overseeing the care of our Sudanese refugee children. The children came from Maar Sudan, a village in southern Sudan where Pastor John, a lost boy of Sudan, grew up. John is just returning from that village this week with reports that many children are dying. Pastor John brings children to Kenya to live and go to school.
God gave John land, a church and now as of January 2009….a water well on the property! They can drink, bathe and wash without fear of illness or lack. The well is deep (about 280 ft) and the water has tested excellent in clarity and purity. The water is life for them and can be sold cheap enough for the people in the surrounding area to buy it. Many were using river water to wash and drink!
Thank you Lord for providing the water and the health it brings.
