After much preparation, we have finished two boreholes just north of Lusaka. One of these boreholes is located at Cure Hospital, who specializes in the treatment of bodily deformities. More information will be located in our next newsletter which is coming soon!

Ministry Donations


Water. It is the most precious resource on the face of this planet, and yet in some areas of the world, it can be the scarcest to find. Our mission is to bring water to even the most remote villages in Zambia, but it takes time, effort, and financial support. Do you enjoy having water at every turn? You can give the gift of water to someone who desperately needs it. Your donations can be used in the following areas:

  • Drilling New Boreholes,
  • Rehabilitating Existing Boreholes,
  • Pump Replacements,
  • Health and Hygiene Training,
  • ...and sharing the Gospel with those who thirst for the "Living Water" of Jesus.

Update from the field


Leslie and I would like to update you with the work that has been accomplished in Africa. First, in January (2008) we came on board to partnership with Living Water International in various east African countries. Living Water International (www.water.cc) is focused on one goal—reaching the world for Christ by giving the gift of clean water. I (CW) will help LWI on the ground with various drilling issues and training native people to drill. Leslie will focus on Health & Hygiene Training in remote villages in Africa.

We arrived in Kigali, Rwanda in March and were a part of the day to day operations until September. Leslie and I were able to assist the local drilling crew with various training as well as being a host to several mission teams. In addition, we were able to complete quite a few Health & Hygiene trainings during our time in Rwanda, some of which had anywhere from 250-450 people in attendance. The villages that we are working with are quite far from the capital city of Kigali. The people of Rwanda are very receptive and are eager to learn how to drastically improve their lives through the simple techniques that are taught at each class. Most importantly, we are able to present the Gospel message which is intermingled into the lessons.
