God continues to bless us with more wells

Today I sat down and added up how many successful wells Water For All International and Global Care have been able to drill in Uganda.  The best I can figure, God has blessed us with 26 wells so far.  We are hoping to add 2 more wells next week.  We recognize that it is only by God's grace that we are living and working in Uganda.  It is only by God's grace that we have such a wonderful home church and an amazing group of young men that are willing to donate days and days of hard work per each well.  I don't think we've been able to drill a well in less than 4 days time yet, and some wells have even taken up to 2 weeks to complete.  That is a lot of time and hard work these guys freely give just to love and serve their communities.  We also recognize that the strength needed to drill through the tough marrum rock that covers everything here comes from God, the knowledge required to develop this simple technology comes from God, these wonderful smiling appreciative families were created by God and for God, it is God who puts the water deep down in the ground, it is God who made a way for us to be here, and it is God who invites us to join Him in His work.
I was told by these ladies that this well is serving hundreds of families over an area several square kilometers in size.

This family is already using their family well for all their household use, watering animals, and watering the father's orange and mango seedlings that he sells as a business.
