Hi Everyone!

So far in 2024, our Clean Water 4 Life teams have provided 35 "FREE for the needy" water wells. I will attach some pictures and information on a couple of them. Our teams will continue sinking wells until mid-December and then take a holiday break. I am praying for some new people to come alongside our CW4L ministry to empower our ministry to continue providing more wells in 2025. Everyone deserves a cup of clean water. As we approach Thanksgiving & Christmas please consider a gift of any size! 

Grace and I were invited back to Pingtung, Taiwan for a three-week ministry time where we will attend daily prayer meetings & preach and teach God's Word! We leave on Monday, Nov. 11 and then after three weeks, we will fly to Yangon, Myanmar for a one-week time of ministry to 40-50 Pastors and Church leaders! A little over a year ago we did a similar ministry trip so this is Part 2 of what God started on our previous trip. We covet your prayers as we travel to both of these nations which are predominantly Buddhist nations. 

Our invitation to Panama is delayed until next year. We still are in communication with Pastor John Blackwell about the right timing. This Pastor in Panama wants input on supplying water for rural jungle villages that currently fetch water from streams and rivers. I made myself available to go to do some surveys in these rural villages and share with this Pastor some of the things that I've learned from my experience in the Solomon Islands! 

As promised here are several CW4L wells recently installed in Ward 17 of East Malaita: 

Sifilo Community Zone 1 was in a state of EMERGENCY and in desperate need of a source of drinking water! A flash flood completely destroyed their water supply. One of the community leaders Mr. Jimmy Mani explained; “Since the landslide had struck our ward 17, East Malaita community which resulted in the destruction of our water supply, we made several requests to various authorities. But unfortunately, there has been no positive response until CW4L. Praise God for Clean Water 4 Life ministry, has provided a wonderful and timely gift of a FREE water well! Now we would testify we truly had felt God's love in action during our desperate times”. It is a great relief for this community, which normally hosts major church events within the Yuru association but has struggled for a clean water source. Thanks be to God.

Clean Water 4 Life has provided this beautiful water well source, which for decades has been a huge problem for the local community of Mafou. This community of 110 people in 13 households has been struggling to have access to clean water close to their homes. They have to rely on the main Abitona River to do their washing and swimming. Using the main Abitona River was not even hygienically safe due to the presence of upstream communities and surface runoffs from their respective cattle farms. They also rely on the Gwe’etarusi spring source for their drinking water, though it can get dirty during heavy rain. Walking long distances and carrying heavy loads of drinking water from this spring is no longer their daily routine!  

Mr. John Ge’a, one of their community leaders expressed their joy of taking ownership of this Clean Water 4 Life water well. They now can get access to clean water close to their homes. Big thanks to Clean Water 4 Life and its sponsor for this life-saving gift. They also extend acknowledgment to the drilling crews, for their technical competency which makes it possible to get quality groundwater in such challenging terrains. To God be the glory.
