Mr. Matume could not wait to tell people about the new life he found in Jesus.


Families in his village used to lack access to safe, clean water. They had no choice but to walk for miles in search of clean water — or to drink from contaminated sources. With the pandemic sweeping across the globe, their need became even more critical.


Without a source of clean water, families nearby were at risk of deadly waterborne diseases. And without the ability to practice proper hygiene, they were also more likely to contract COVID-19.


Despite travel restrictions and COVID-19 lockdowns, faithful partners like you helped drill a new well in Mr. Matume’s village. Local Unto® staff team members were able to share about Jesus during the well opening ceremony, and he responded to the message.


He immediately joined a discipleship group with our in-country staff member and started attending church with his wife. Mr. Matume and his wife would walk over six miles to be part of the nearest Christian community.


Our team member challenged Mr. Matume to start a church in his own village. With his pastor’s blessing, he and his wife began hosting services in their home. Today the church has grown to 11 people. They are eager to tell others about Jesus.


Your support provides safe, clean water AND helps share the eternal hope of Jesus that transforms individuals, families, and entire communities by helping to provide a functioning well.
