Water Wells In Burundi
I mentioned in the past that we are doing wells in Uganda and hoped to have a door opened to do wells in Burundi. We have been praying about this and responding in faith to the doors that appeared open. About ten days ago we were extremely encouraged as the door seemed to open as wide as we have seen thusfar.
Living Water, our drilling partner in Uganda, has been working with us on raising the funds necessary to purchase equipment and fund the first year of operations, including drilling the first fifteen wells. Over the past few months, Living Water acquired the well, which is being stored in Rwanda. They just needed funds for the first year of operations. Ten days ago, Watermark was able to call Living Water and share with them that God provided the funds through our local body.
In preparation for this, Living Water sent us 17 questions in September that are standard issues in launching a new country. Our team that went to Burundi in September went throught the questions with ALARM to leverage their experitise and resources to allow for a quicker launch. With that information in hand, Living Water’s Rwanda team is heading to Burundi this week to meet with ALARM to begin the process of Living Water launching operations. God willing, we will be drilling wells by the summer.
Living Water has committed to allowing ALARM and Watermark to identify the locations for the first fifteen wells. We are in prayer for clarity on location and how this might dovetail with our broader ministry efforts in Burundi.
Praise God!
