Well-drilling photos: Part 2

Our second two weeks were drilling in Tamakat, Cekol Koba, and Gorom-Gorom, with the help of Nigel, Andy, Tom, and Dave, from my home church, Glenwood Church.

Wherever we went people gathered to watch, but also to listen. Pierre in particular was constantly sharing the good news of God's compassion in Christ that was the motivation not only for the well-drilling, but also for Christ's sacrifice to bring us back to the Father.

We had two good wells in Tasmakat. But Cekol Koba and the ground of the Gorom-Gorom school were completely dry. We managed to repair a pump that we shall be able to use for the Gorom-Gorom school, and will repair another one at Tasmakat, and another at Coffalboy.

It was a tiring month for everyone involved, and disappointing not to get more water. But we are thankful to God for what we have been able to accomplish. Thank you to all of you who have supported this work. God bless you.
