Cheers for Water!

Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses,
let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us,
and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith;
who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame,
and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Hebrews 12:1-2

Water is so essential to one's life that without it we cannot do much, either in our surroundings or even for our crops and animals. Marigat is an area that is dry, although there was a great change in vegetation this time when we visited. This time we saw some green vegetation and a more fertile soil.

This trip was a blessing to me and I felt really good, after going there for several years now, I was at last, able to take goods news. You can see how dusty the road is on the way to our destination of Marigat.

We pass the equatorial line that divides Kenya into two parts, north and south.

A word of prayer accompanies our mission here. As always prayer is so much needed and in this case we are praying that today we will find water potential in this dry land.

Did you know that Kenya has ostriches?

I don't understand it all but the car and many other things are needed to conduct the survey. I stand by.

Even a rooster comes to look at the work.

The drought in this land has been too much for many cattle and local wildlife.

I was happy to travel with a water geologist (this is the person who works on water) and conduct a survey on water availability in this very dry land.

After travelling most of the morning, we arrived and we were so much welcomed by the host pastor and community leaders. I was so happy to be with them and share the joy's of finding water at last.

After the hard time we had driving there and the long journey. What a joy we had! It is really a great joy to see hope of getting water after so many years of prayers.
Thanks so much for your prayers. The years of praying and hoping for a well has been an endurance race for us. It is not yet finished but we give praise to God for helping us this far!
