Yesterday we got an e-mail from Nelson, ALARM’s Country Director in Uganda. He told us he had identified the next six locations for ALARM, Watermark, and Living Water to drill wells in Uganda. We will soon begin drilling wells at six of the following seven locations:
Palisa Eastern Uganda (ALARM ministered here)
Masindi – Mid Western Uganda (ALARM ministered here)
Bweyale – Te Okutu (ALARM ministered here)
Pader – Balakwa CER Community Farm (Te got Amoko)
Pader -Ngekidi Community (Dure)
Pader (Pader TC )
Pader Pajule SS School community (Pajule Center)
Palisa, Masindi, and Bweyale are three locations where Watermark either has or will be doing a conference. Bweyale is also the location of the Piggery Project we blogged about in November. Pader is the town where we have done multiple conferences, are building a trade school, have orphans we sponsor, and have drilled four other wells.
Please be praying for the drilling of these wells, the recipients of this gift, and for God to receive all the glory.

On previous posts, I mentioned that we as a church are partnering with ALARM to support about 300 kids in Uganda. As a church, we have provided financial support to these kids for three years. Now we have set up a chance for you to directly sponsor one of these kids and more personally increase your involvement in Watermark’s ministry to our brothers and sisters in Uganda and eventually in Burundi and elsewhere. So if you want to learn more about our objectives in Africa and sponsor one of the children we are ministering to, please go to http://watermarkworldwide.com/. You can click on THE OVERVIEW to learn more, and you can click on MEET THE CHILDREN to sponsor a child. This opportunity is open to all Watermark members.

| The below note was sent to all Watermark members tonight. Please be praying for the situation in Haiti and our response.
Thank you to the dozens of Watermark members who have reached out to us, asking what you can do as a part of the body of Christ to help the victims of Tuesday’s earthquake in Haiti. We want you to know that we are prayerfully considering our corporate response to these dire circumstances. Over the last few days, Watermark’s leadership has been in near constant contact with our key ministry partners (World Vision and others) and our friends on the ground in Haiti, including a conference call with those in Port-au-Prince who are assessing the situation firsthand. We are taking all the necessary steps to ensure that every dollar and every minute invested in the relief effort honors God and is reviewed wisely. Ultimately, we believe that a corporate response from Watermark will allow us all to make a long-term impact in Haiti for Kingdom purposes, so we hope that you will join with us in the relief efforts that we participate in with our ministry partners.
We hope to update you fully on Sunday with ways that you can be involved in the relief efforts and the long term recovery for the people of Haiti. Our goal is to deploy people with specific skill sets within the Watermark body in the coming days who will be instrumental to care for the physical and spiritual needs of the people of Haiti. In the meantime, please join with us as we continue to pray for the victims, their families, the relief workers who will be traveling to Haiti, our partners at the leadership level who are making decisions, in-country church and organizational leaders, and us, as we discern how God would have us respond.
For those of you who get this email in time, we want to let you know that tomorrow (Saturday, January 16), there will be a Rally and March for Life at noon in downtown Dallas, starting at the Cathedral Plaza (2215 Ross Ave at Pearl) and concluding at the Federal Courthouse (1100 Commerce St. at Griffin St.). Todd Wagner will join many others speaking at this event. |
