Washed by the water


Today started off for Zac, Todd, Danni, and Tiffany, with an early morning trip to the beach. It was amazing; Tiffany has the pictures to prove it! Zac couldn’t fight the temptation to go for a run, Todd sat and listened to the waves, Danni wrote in her journal. (Danielle and Allan stayed back at the guest house and enjoyed a little extra sleep)

As we traveled to the “well-site” the sky was an amazing color of blue, the kind you see in postcards. I had an overwhelming feeling that God had something amazing in store for us. And He did. We arrived at a well site that 12stone provided for, World Hope found; a place where the many villagers were displaced due to a flood. They had no place to get water freely but had to actually pay for any water they needed, and if they had no money, they didn’t have water.

When we arrived, the area around the well-site was surrounded by villagers as they helped the WHI people drill. God used the people of 12stone along with WHI to give the gift of water to many of His thirsty children.

They all took a break to greet us, singing songs that told us “you are welcome” and “God bless you all for bringing us this gift”. All of us were very overwhelmed, but knew the Lord brought us here to share in the celebration of love only He can give. Tomorrow we are privileged with the opportunity to return to same village to witness the completion of the well. That’s correct; God brought us to a spot in Mozambique to leave a mark for Him for a village that moved away from a river to find a “promised land”. (Joshua 1)

We all are sleeping tonight eager with anticipation for what is to come. We want to thank you all for the prayers you’re sending our way. Please keep them coming…

-Todd
