Though he was God,

did not demand and cling to his rights as God,

but laid aside his mighty power and glory,

taking the disguise of a slave and becoming like men.”

Samiratan’s Purse – 5 Wells in 5 Days

We’re Overflowing with Gratitude

We are thanking and praising God for the way you responded to the “5 Wells in 5 Days” campaign. We asked for $50,000 in one short week. But you went above and beyond. We met the entire goal on the first day. Before noon on the second day, the total had doubled. By the end of the week, God used your prayers and support to bring in an astounding $242,327, which will help transform entire communities in South Sudan.

We surpassed our goal for this particular campaign, yet the need in South Sudan remains great. And donations to provide fresh water around the world are always needed.

Thanking God for the money given for new wells and all the people who will be able to have clean water.  I’m praying they will soon learn of the Living Water.

We made it to Kuwait! We have some training for the next 4 days then we move to Camp Arifjan for to long hall. God must have wanted us to feel at home because its starting to rain!

We visited “Miss” Susie Wales yesterday and loved every minute of our visit.  She will be entering the hospital about 7:00 this morning to have surgery at 9:30.  She should be in the hospital three days and in rehab for nine days.  Then, she will be living a mile east of us.  She will be our closest neighbor on the southeast side of the road.  I look forward to her stay in our neighborhood following surgery.  Keep her in your prayers.
