The Value of Water

Life in East Africa is challenging sometimes to say the least.  There are many things that you have that should work but don’t and that is frustrating … but that is just part of the life in East Africa. 

This week we have had a big challenge about having water.  The water stopped coming to our house probably about a week ago but we just realized it when our two water tanks finally emptied out.  This was a great challenge for us as we had to spend about a week without water.  This made us appreciate the nationals who have to go and “fetch” water daily and thus was the case with us as I made several trips with our water containers to “fetch” water.  We praise God that Friday the water did return after many calls and a trip to the water company!

We did learn something from this experience and that is just how valuable and precious water really is.  You can live without a lot of things but you just can’t make it without water!  You know our Lord Jesus Christ said that He is the living water and if you drink from Him you will never thirst again!  How awesome is that in knowing that He is the living water, He is all we need in our lives and with Him we will never thirst again!!  Please pray with us as we do water projects for the Sudanese who are in desperate need of water and that they will come to really know the supplier of Living Water - our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ!!
