Living Water Through Clean Water Wells

Dear Friends,

We are thrilled to share a beautiful testimony of God’s goodness and your generosity. Over the past several months, new water wells have been installed in poor and needy communities across India. These wells have truly transformed daily life for countless families.

 Life-Changing Impact

Over the last 9 months, by God’s grace and your faithful support, 21 water wells have been completed in some of the most unreached and underserved areas. For the first time, men, women, and children now have fresh, clean water right at their doorstep. No longer do they have to walk miles to rivers or unsafe sources. Especially during the hot summer months, they are now able to drink, cook, and live healthier lives—all thanks to the gift of safe water. Their joy and gratitude are beyond words.

But this project has brought more than just physical refreshment—it has opened hearts. Each well is a reminder that God sees their needs and cares for them. Through this simple act of love, we are able to show the compassion of Christ, build trust, and share the gospel in a natural and powerful way. These wells are not only life-giving but also soul-reaching.

Many are beginning to ask—Why would strangers, who don’t even know us, show such kindness? These acts of love are prompting deep reflection, not only on the gods and goddesses they’ve long believed in, but also on the God we serve and proclaim—the God who knows them by name and loves them personally.

 New Requests

Because of the incredible impact these wells are making, we continue to receive new requests from other villages in need. As of now, there are 12 new requests waiting for water wells to be installed. Each well costs $1,500 to complete.

If the Lord is willing, you can sponsor a well—or even several—individually or through your church. Every well is more than just water for a village—it is a testimony of Christ’s love and a doorway for the gospel.

 Praise & Prayer Requests

Praise:

• We have safely reached India and have adjusted well to the weather and surroundings.

• The kids have begun their homeschooling journey.

• Joshua, our youngest, is growing well and healthy.

• Our church family was overjoyed to see us, and we were just as blessed to reunite with them.

• The Bible College students are faithfully attending their classes and are on track to graduate in December.

Prayer Requests:

• We are still in need of 300 shares to keep the ministry going strong—each share is just $10. Please pray for the Lord’s provision.

• Bible College Ministries – Pray for wisdom, strength, and God’s blessing as I return to teaching next month, and that the students would be fully equipped for ministry.

• Pray for the 12 new water well requests, that the Lord will provide the resources needed.

• Pray for Outreach Ministries, that God would open doors for the gospel to reach unreached people.

• Pray for the ongoing work of Jesus Water Well Ministries, that every well would be a testimony of Christ’s love.

• Pray for the Free Medical Camps, that they will touch lives physically and spiritually with Christ’s compassion.

• Please lift up Christians and churches across India in your prayers. Persecution is increasing at an alarming rate, and many of our brothers and sisters are facing serious pressure, hostility, and even violence for their faith. Entire congregations are gathering under the threat of opposition, yet they continue to worship with boldness and trust in Christ. Please pray for God’s divine protection, unwavering courage, and steadfast faith to strengthen them daily. Ask the Lord to surround them with His peace, and to make them bright lights in the darkness, holding fast to the hope of the gospel no matter the cost.
