A Need for Water
Posted by Maker Manyang on Tuesday, January 20, 2009 at 4:08 PM (PST)
I thank God for the time I've had here in Nimule with my family. My daughter Akur is now back in Arua, Uganda staying with her grandmother, and they are doing well. Near my family's compound there is one water well that serves thousands of people. Many have come from the refugee camps to Nimule and there are not enough wells to support the people. My wife, Rebekah has been going to fetch water at 3 in the morning so that she does not have to wait in line for many hours. This has been a great challenge for my family and for so many people in our area. Now, there is a greater problem because that well is broken and no one has come to fix it for several days. This well is the only source of water for thousands of people and now it is broken. These are difficult times for my family and many other people.
Please pray for this well to be repaired very soon so that these thousands of people can have access to clean water.
Please pray for me as I say goodbye to my family next week to return to the United States. I will be back with them in July when I return with a medical team and other short term workers.
Thank you so much for your prayers.
