Message from Charles
Sue went to be with the Lord, Monday March 30th at 10:20 pm. Thank you all for your kind words and support this last week.
Instead of doing flowers and gifts, and because Sue was always a big supporter of Women's and Children's Ministries, I wanted to create an opportunity for you to bless us by blessing an entire village.
In underdeveloped areas in India and across Asia, women and children will walk up to four hours a day to fetch water. Water that will eventually make them sick, and keeps kids away from school and women from work.
But we can break the cycle of poverty by giving the gift of clean water and their lives back.
GFA drills water wells in easily-accessible small villages and hires local contractors to do the work which keeps cost low and helps the local economy. Each well is inscribed with this message of Good News: “Whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
Please help us by making a donation. 100% of what you give will go straight to fund the well. Any funds over the goal will go to purchasing cows and goats for milk, Something also dear to Sue's heart.
I hope you'll give generously to this campaign. What better thing could you do with your money than this? Thank You.
About Jesus Wells
Read below to learn about where donations go.
Jesus Wells increase the health standards of a village, allowing for children to be nourished and animals to be watered. The wells you provide are located in the village or community, so women and children no longer have to walk hours to find water.
With one well you can save an entire village from waterborne illnesses.
Unlike the dirty water from stagnant ponds, streams or old shallow wells, this water is clean and creates an awareness of good hygiene, leading to fewer medical problems and healthier people.
