Water? Not needed in Ohio at this time. Lake Erie is full, the Ohio River is flowing and the skies keep us well supplied. Not so in other parts of the world.

Many church planters are working with a younger generation that really wants to make a material & spiritual difference for those in need. That is why I am posting this info.

We have some great Grace Brethren guys working to make water happen for a lot of folk in Africa. The organization is ICD International. I know Jim Hocking, Bob Belohlavek and Ted Rondeau.

Below is a VIDEO you will want to see and maybe use to encourage others to participate this Christmas. This is what Jim Hocking wrote me:

We drill wells for Living Water here in CAR (Central African Republic) and it looks like they put out this video.  We are maintaining about 500 villages wells affecting nearly 250,000 people.  Not to mention the 65 new wells we drilled this year and about 200 pump rehabilitations.   This means we have literally affected over 380,000 people if my figures are correct.

God has really blessed because in almost every village we have either distributed tracts or shown the Jesus film.  We are trying now to set up another 3 teams for film showing.

We would love help from people you know to do a better job of what we are doing.   Finances as you can imagine are tight and getting anything done in Africa is not easy these days.
