Over a year ago, we presented the idea of a well to the community for approval and permission.\u00a0 They wholeheartedly approved as water is a big necessity here.<\/p>\n

Then, we told people about the need and God raised over $20,000 for the project in just a few months.<\/p>\n

At the same time, we contacted another mission agency to the north who drills wells.\u00a0 After a bit of dialogue, that fell through.<\/p>\n

So, we contacted a private driller on the coast close to us.\u00a0 We met him through a friend.\u00a0 Once we had all the money, we contacted him again to work out details and dates for drilling.\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n

So, now with rainy season just a few weeks away, we are communicating with a third driller.\u00a0 They are an organization farther south in Mexico that works with the government to drill wells in small communities who need clean water.\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n

So, at this point, we’re hoping to work it out to drill sometime after the rains end.\u00a0 Maybe during the winter!\u00a0 Please pray with us about this need!<\/p>\n
