On a recent trip to Uganda, our Unto™ team traveled to remote villages to drill new wells, repair old ones and help local Cru^® partners build relationships within the communities they serve.
In one village our team member asked a mom who had come with her children to the well drilling, “Where do you usually get your water?”
She and a couple of her kids took our team on a 2.5-mile walk. They stopped at a stream that had no water — it stops flowing during the dry season.
The mom picked up a shovel and started digging. She dug around 2.5 feet and then took a bucket and scooped out black water. That was the water their family used for drinking, cooking, bathing, and everything else.
When the group returned to the drilling site, local staff members began teaching about the Provider of the clean water — the Living Water. Before the well water flowed, 14 people responded to the eternal hope of Jesus!
Later that night, after showing a film about Jesus, another 80 people decided to follow Jesus in just this one village. Near the well, local staff teams established three churches. The first Sunday they held services, more than 200 people came and heard about the eternal hope of Jesus.
Today the churches that resulted from the well opening are allowed to meet in the nearby school building. The local government was so excited about the water that they provided desks for the school. Now the children no longer have to sit on the floor! Students and teachers have plenty of safe, clean water for drinking and hygiene. The children have school supplies.
All of this was made possible because people like you gave water. This family — and their entire community — was transformed by the gift of safe, clean water and the hope of Jesus!
