wells for kenya

greenspun.com : LUSENET : A.M.E. Today Discussion : One Thread

God called my husband and I to visit Kenya, Africa in 2001 and it was truly a blessing. The sad part is the people really need water wells, there is water under the ground, they need assistance to drill. Our prayer is to return in 2003 with the funds to provide a small rural community north of Nariobi, with a well, this community has the land for the well, they just need the funds to do the drilling, we have identify an evangelical organization that can do the work. Are there any takers, if so please contact us at gflwc@yahoo.com, stating your interest in helping to sponsor this first well or by calling 302-436-9929 God's Family Life Worship Center, Inc., a Church for All People:Global Ministry, Ecumenical, Multicultural Thank you for your prayers and interest in this project. Our brothers and sisters need our help in a big way. Water wells will bring true revival to this community, it is a farming community, they would be able to irrigate and raise crops every 45 days, in turn by selling the produce will provide the funds for the community to build their own schools, health clinics, etc. They are not looking for a handout, just a helping hand to get safe drinking water.

Rev. Wheatly you can count St. Paul Community Church in as a partner for the well project. Our vice presdient of the WMS is putting on a fund raiser in the next several weeks to raise money. We are excited that we can help. And I talk about you and your project during the service today. For being a Christian is also about justice and equality for all people. The idea that a mother would have to watch her child die for lack of water is too much for our hearts to bear! I pray other churches and individuals will come on board. Thank you for letting us know how to show the love of Christ!

Tom our church sent money to the christian children's fund for their well program that they have in Kenya. Below is the web address for that program. It is a long web address, so do cut and paste. Thanks for asking.
