Water Well Celebration

WOOHOO!!!! Can you hear the excitement in my voice?? Last night we gathered all 7 families that committed for one year to raising funds to help build a water well in Africa. This project was focused on the children and one of the goals was to plant seeds and make them aware that not all kids live with the privileges that we have. I am pretty sure that was accomplished and it makes me so gitty to think of how God will nourish and feed those seeds. I pray that this will only be the beginning for all 21 of the children who participated in this project and that He will use them to feed the hungry, give water to the thirsty and minister to any who have need.

We had an extra special blessing as well...Corinne, a missionary from Fresno who is permanently residing in Swaziland, Africa, was able to join us and teach the kids a bit about what it is like for the children over there. She is starting a preschool there and our water well will be built by the preschool and will provide clean water for the school and the entire village that surrounds it. It was so special to here first hand from someone who sees it every day, the extreme impact that clean water has on a village. On top of that, Corinne took a video of our kids saying hello to the kids that will be in the preschool drinking the water that we helped to provide. Powerful. I was brought to tears and I am so thankful that God allows us to join Him in his work. I will continue to pray that He will allow us to be His hands and feet and that our children will experience the pure joy that comes from following and serving Him!!
