1,000th
Water Well
For the 2,800 people living in Badvan, India, water had become their primary concern. In short, they didn’t have enough.
The village elders attempted to drill four water wells; however, only one was a success. With such a limited supply of water, strict rules were required: Families could visit the well only twice a day and for a limited amount of time.
For most, this meant walking a long distance, waiting in long lines and often missing work. Even then, there wasn’t enough water to go around.
Meanwhile, the small Christian community in Badvan met each Sunday to worship in a tiny hut made of mud. Because the walls of the church frequently collapsed due to rain, they had been praying and fasting, crying out to God for a new church building.
In June 2018, the Lord used you to answer the prayers of this small village when Joyce Meyer Ministries' outreach arm, Hand of Hope, drilled a freshwater well and constructed a brand-new church for the people of Badvan.
In fact, this is the 1,000th water well you have drilled in villages and remote communities like this one all around the world!
Today, because of you, the people of Badvan have more than enough water to go around. No more long lines, and no missing work. And their village has a safe, dry place to worship each week.
Thank you for sharing the love of Christ and quenching the physical and spiritual thirst for hundreds of families in need.
