But whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life. - John 4:14

Farewell Kajo Keji

Today Robbie and I leave for Juba to help with the work going on there to establish a compound. We have really enjoyed our time in Kajo Keji and working alongside the staff of Water Harvest International and learning from the staff of Mobile Health International, which is a sister organization to WHI. It has been such a great experience to worship with our South Sudanese brothers and sisters in church, to pray with them in the mornings and to have fellowship with them everyday. I have learned that the community here in Kajo Keji seeks to know the Lord better, desires to do His will and is a light to the surrounding communities. I am thankful for the East African Ministries and their work here in Kajo Keji. As we leave for Juba, we realize that we will not drill any more wells during this trip. Our efforts are needed in Juba, where they have not yet started their well drilling operations. We will help them with the construction of the compound, so that they can begin using the compound as a base for their well drilling team. During our time in Kajo Keji, we were able to help drill 4 water wells, which should provide water for at least 700 people (a conservative estimate). I am so thankful for my brothers here, and I look forward to our time in Juba.

To my partners, thank you again for your prayers and support of this trip. I am blessed to be sent by you, and I think of you often. Thank you to those who are sending me emails saying that you are praying for me. I appreciate every prayer that you life up for me and please continue to do so. I will try to post once we get settled into Juba; however, the internet in Juba will be less accessible than it is here at the compound in Kajo Keji. God bless you!
