Water For Life in Haiti

1 week ago

Dearest prayer partners and supporters, the staff of Water for Life joins its voice with hundreds of thousands of beneficiaries in Haiti to say “HAPPY NEW YEAR 2020”. We are very grateful for you and all your support that makes all of us part of the working out of the love of Jesus Christ. 1 John 3:16 says-- “By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren”.
In a spirit of appreciation and thanksgiving, we are pleased to give you an account of what your prayers, your financial contributions and your time have accomplished for the needy people in Haiti during the fiscal year 2018-2019 despite all the political unrest, violent street demonstrations, and roadblocks…
WELLS DRILLED: 108 wells serving 37,800 more people this year;

PUMPS: 749 pumps installed and maintained serving 262,150 people; more than 680 thousand people get their daily water supply from Water for Life.

DIVINE HELP SCHOOL: 490 students from Pre-K through 12th grade have had access to quality Christian education and received a hot meal every school day;

HEALTH CARE: From 8,335 consultations 5,758 people were treated, including 16 who got their sight back from cataract surgery and 9 women saved from cervical cancer after having pelvic surgery.
Praise to our Father through the work of His Spirit who makes us ONE in our Lord Jesus Christ and brings us together to fulfill His Word in Psalms 133 and Jesus’ prayer for all the believers in John 17.
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! Psalms 133:1 (NKJV)
John 17:20-23, “I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; 21 that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. 22 And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: 23 I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.” (NKJV)

Our prayer for 2020 is to stay together in the loving and compassionate spirit of Jesus Christ as we bring clean water, health care, and schooling to the needy people of Haiti and fulfill the Word of Jesus Christ in Luke 4:18-19 (NKJV):
18 “The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me,
Because He has anointed Me
To preach the gospel to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To set at liberty those who are ]oppressed;
19 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD.” ... See MoreSee Less

Water For Life in Haiti

1 month ago

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to You--Heroes Despite Yourselves!!!
Would it be right not to believe in God when man, made in His image, is capable of so much compassion?
We don’t know you personally, prayer partners and supporters of Water for Life, but we want to say thank you. Perhaps without even knowing it, you have done the almost-impossible by the grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
We (teachers and workers in Pasbwadòm school), whose soul is so tormented by misery and social injustice, no longer believed in the future. In fact, daily life in Haiti is sadly made of a succession of environmental misfortunes (hurricane, drought) and political unrest that deprives us of food and stability. How many times have we wanted to give up as many have already done (in evidence the mass exodus of Haitians to other countries).

But thanks to the Light in YOU, our flame has lit up to watch lovingly over more than 500 children who are experiencing a blessed school year. Your support and prayers have revived hope in us. Being part of this adventure gives us the opportunity to partner with many who wants to save a life. Indeed, your contributions toward Water For Life’s drinking water, health care, and education projects have changed thousands of people’s lives in Haiti.
Binding with you in Jesus, we, as drillers, teachers, doctors and collaborators, are messengers of the Word that gives hope and life. Your values have taught us what it really is to be a human.
On behalf of 850,000 people who now have access to clean water, 20,000 who have benefited from quality health care and 549 students who have the joy of going to school, we thank you for your faith in the Love of Jesus Christ
We just needed so much to say THANK YOU!
We hope these words can, to a small degree, show you the effect you have made on our lives. To all of you “ heroes despite yourselves” we wish you a
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! ... See MoreSee Less
