We Arrived!






Have you ever been somewhere where it immediately felt like home? From the moment we arrived our Hosts greeted us with warm and loving hugs and beautiful smiles. Our hosts have made the housing so cozy you feel right at home.  It’s been a delight getting to know them and look forward to growing a stronger connection as the trip goes on. 


The day has been filled with great conversations with plenty of laughs during our Travel.  It almost feels like this group has known each other for ages. We thank you Jesus for getting us to our destination safely. 


This evening we begin our work on the water filters. We have team members drilling holes, filing the holes, cutting chains and chaining the syringes on the buckets. Our goal is to get 50 buckets done today, but this group works hard so I wouldn’t be surprised if we exceed that amount. It’s been a lot of fun working with the team and it’s inspiring to see their love for Jesus shine through today!

In the Field - Day 2

The team woke up to another beautiful morning! We enjoyed a great breakfast with a prayer and a devotion.   We headed back out on the field to help more families with water filters! The kids team had a fantastic day with the Bible story, hygiene lessons and playing lots of games! The kids were adorable and full of hugs and love. A special moment was when a little girl came running to join the group and instantly gave out a hug to a team member. Another special moment was when the teens showed us a game they play called “Hot Potato” but not how we play in America. It was awesome to experience a game of theirs. The adults had another great engaging crowd with lots of applauses and grateful hearts. It’s heartwarming to see their appreciation for the gospel and the water filters. We distributed another 50 water filters to the families.  Afterwards the woman who owns the community center made the team tacos for lunch. We learned during lunch that she has been here for 21 years. She...

In the Field! - Day 1

Today is exciting! We begin distributing our water filters and teaching hygiene lessons while sharing the gospel with the families.  We arrived at our destination and got to work quickly. We started to assemble the filters and prepped for our lessons.  Those working with the kids got to hang out outside and teach them lessons and do a Bible study and then played a couple of games.  The team members working with the adults had similar lessons and a Bible study. They had an engaging group who were asking a lot of questions and applauded the team members after each lesson! You could hear their gratitude from outside! We then distributed 50 water buckets to the families. It was heart warming to see how thankful they were to receive their new water filters. A moment that I found special was an older man who was so proud of himself that he was able to demonstrate how the filter worked and with the back washing that he clapped and said “I did it!” with a huge smile! We learn...
