\"UK
UK Summit Team - Ga'dang Water Project<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Recently I had the privilege of participating in a two-week water project for the Ga\u2019dang people, a remote people group in the Philippines. Along with 12 members of a short-term missionary team from the UK, one other missionary from Manila, Erik Peterson, and the missionaries who live in this village, Chuck & Shannon Talbot<\/a> (their partner Christina Canapp was out of the village due to illness), we laid water pipe from a mountain spring to the village below that had never before had running water (about 20 homes). They now have six different water stations strategically located around the village to provide a fresh source of water where in the past they had struggled, especially during dry season.<\/p>\n

Of course water alone is not the primary goal of this project. As our missionaries in this village continue to study the local language and prepare to teach, our prayer is that one day these people will see what was done for them as not just another \u2018good deed\u2019 but more importantly as a \u2018Gift of God!\u2019 We look forward to the day when this unreached people group will one day stand and give glory to God for all He has done for them, not just just providing water to get them thru the dry season, but more importantly, providing living water to get them thru all seasons of life.<\/p>\n

The total cost estimation for this project was set at $3500 (not including individual missionary expences for travel, supplies, etc…). Should the spirit of God compel either yourself personally or that of your church to partner with us, please send your gift directly to and made payable to:<\/p>\n

New Tribes Mission, 1000 East First Street, Sanford, Florida 32771-1487<\/strong><\/p>\n

Please send a note also stating what the gift is for: Ga\u2019dang Water Project, Philippines<\/strong>. You can also visit our\u00a0GIVE<\/a>\u00a0page for other ways to give.<\/p>\n

As Christ has said, \u201c\u2026 anyone who gives you a cup of water in my name<\/span>\u2026 will certainly not lose his reward<\/span>.\u201d <\/em>(Mark 9:41)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
