Well project starts in Liberia!

By the grace of God and thanks to a generous donation, we have been given funds for the purpose of constructing a well in Liberia. This will take place in a poor village community just outside of Monrovia. This will be a hand dug well that will provide fresh water for all of the 200 residents of this small village.
David and his wife Esther pastor a small church there and also have a small school called Triumphic Transformation Children Outreach Ministry (TTCOM). They have had to vacate their former school building due to lack of funds to rent this and are now teaching kids out of their home, as many as they can fit in.
The inital funds have been sent and construction of this will hopefully take place this week.
Chris, our ground worker in Liberia, will be overseeing this project and he will send us pictures as soon as he has access to a camera. Together with David, they will also manage security of this well once it is completed.
Please pray for the people of this poor community, that they will be blessed not only by fresh water but that they may experience the love of Christ by this action.

The pictures below were taken last year when this project was first presented to us. The students and school building you see are at their former location which they have since had to vacate. Notice the lack of desks and the dirt floors.
