Over a year ago, we presented the idea of a well to the community for approval and permission. They wholeheartedly approved as water is a big necessity here.
Then, we told people about the need and God raised over $20,000 for the project in just a few months.
At the same time, we contacted another mission agency to the north who drills wells. After a bit of dialogue, that fell through.
So, we contacted a private driller on the coast close to us. We met him through a friend. Once we had all the money, we contacted him again to work out details and dates for drilling. When he didn’t respond, my co-worker stopped by his office a few weeks ago and found out that he was no longer working at that job.
So, now with rainy season just a few weeks away, we are communicating with a third driller. They are an organization farther south in Mexico that works with the government to drill wells in small communities who need clean water. But, there’s not time before the rains begin and before the roads become impassable to complete the necessary paperwork and get all the equipment up there to drill.
So, at this point, we’re hoping to work it out to drill sometime after the rains end. Maybe during the winter! Please pray with us about this need!
