WATER!

Drilling a fresh water well at Ilturisho Kenya

Drilling a fresh water well at Ilturisho Kenya starts with prayer.

Thank you to all who prayed with us yesterday! We began drilling at 9:30 on Wednesday morning. The process went smoothly with one minor breakdown. We hit water just after 10:30 at 55 M. It was awesome! Everyone jumped to their feet clapping and got as close to the borehole as possible. We all thanked God and just enjoyed the moment.

These families won't be drinking from this muddy spring much longer. Praise God!

We continued to drill as the geology report predicted a larger water source at 130 – 160 M. We reached 150 M just before dark last night and had about three times the flow we had reached at 55 M. We continue this morning to drill to a stable depth and then begin casing.
God is faithful and so, so good!

UPDATE: We finished drilling at 180 M today and will test volume and quality of the water and finish casing the well tomorrow.
