Water Update
March 17, 2008
Praise God! While drilling for wells last week, we hit water!!! We now have two wells, that are producing 2.5 times the projected need for the life of the project- 12,800 liters per hour. It is so like God to give us exceedingly above and beyond what we think that we need, isn’t it?!

Dear Family and Friends,
Greetings from Uganda! We pray all is well with each of you.
We have been drilling wells all week that your generous donations and prayers have made possible. The first borehole produced little water and was then totally spoiled when they dropped 53 meters of casing down the 89 meter borehole and could not retrieve it. The second borehole produced 2,800 liters per hour which was half of our projected needs for the life of the project. Then the third borehole was done without extra cost according to our contract if we did not get the needed 5 liters per hour from the first two drills. This third drill produced 18,000 liters per hour, but this was reduced to 10,000 liters per hour because of difficulty getting the casing in. Still with a capability of producing 12,800 liters per hour this is 2.5 times what we need as far as water. We are way blessed and we are so grateful for your part in this huge blessing. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
We have also been greatly blessed by having one of our workers receive a 25,000 dollar heart surgery for free to correct a critical valve stenosis. He is making an uneventful recovery.
God is sooooooooooooooooo good. Have a great day.
Love,
Janice and Tim
P.S. Please pray that we will know the
best way to store and distribute this water.

Today Is The Day
January 17, 2008
Just a quick praise. We had about 150 people at devotions this morning to interview for six jobs at Restoration Gateway. We had 27 professions of faith even after we announced beforehand that their decisions would have no bearing on job acceptance. Pray that we will have wisdom in conserving the harvest. Praise God for more mature Christians that have come and are coming to help in discipling God’s new family.
Blessings,
Tim
