India Well Project Update

July 10th, 2008 by Erik Rogers

Dear Victory Family,

The rig drilling for water

I want to give you a report of the wells we have been able to drill because of your generosity. The first well was drilled at Rays of Peace Church premises. We drilled 600 feet deep and tapped into clean drinking water. The drilling people told us that this water is sufficient for the seven-story building that we are believing for God to enable us to construct in the future. (We already have approval from the government to do so.)

The second well was drilled at Victory Children’s Home (Rays of Peace Orphanage). The well is 350 feet deep and we are blessed with clean water. We have now built a cistern to store the water. We use it for the orphanage and to bless the people of our community. The drilling people told us that the water which we got from this well is sufficient to irrigate 10 acres of land for growing crops, etc.

The third well has now been drilled at the Precious Children Home (the first Orphanage of Rays of Peace). We drilled 250 feet and instead of putting in a pump and pipes, we have installed an overhead tank which provides running water for the orphanage, office and another building.

With the funds we received through iCare and the Advent Conspiracy, we will soon drill one more well in another village where we have our branch church. And, as the Lord provides the funds, we have also planned to drill five more wells in different villages where the people are desperate for drinking water. Thank you, Victory World Church, for giving so generously towards our water project in India.

Fresh water pours into the storage tank
