Villagers used to walk more than seven miles to get water before local missionaries provided borehole wells for the community, which has brought good health. A vocational program that includes training health workers and traditional birth attendants has also fostered good will, and the village chief called residents together so local workers could talk to them about God; the message was well-received. In this area and three others, local missionaries provided borehole wells that serve more than 21,000 people and began planting churches. Donations are sought for such community engagement projects. Pray the Lord would protect His people amid many dangers.
