May I on behalf of the church development committee and the neighboring community would like to express the deepest gratitude to the Samaritans who have blessed us with the gift of a borehole. Your generous act of love has brought hope and new life to our surrounding community and the church at large. Truly you have been Gods hands in our times of need. Read Colossians 3:23-24, otherwise thank you in advance for your kind consideration. May god bless you and reward your kindness as you have rescued the lives of many. Yours faithfully, Justus Ondola.
Justus Ondola, a community member in SDA Korowe Church community in Kenya’s Kisumu County says that he had hope that one day their community will no longer suffer from the effects of consuming unsafe water. As years went by, Justus’ hope dwindled because the sources of water in the community started drying up, even though these sources were not clean sources, they were all the community had at the time. “If what was available to us started going away, how would we even get to have what was a distant dream,” says Justus. What was a distant dream to this community became an instant yet a beautiful reality, when Lifewater Canada, after receiving calls for help from SDA Korowe Church community, swiftly responded by funding the drilling of a new well, and installing a hand pump. “We feel overwhelmed by gratitude because of the blessing of our well for we can now easily enjoy uninterrupted flow of clean water. Our community is happy and thankful for you,” says Justus.
