Water Rationing Begun

Sue says:

Thanks to you who are praying about our water situation. Rationing has been put in place for the students because so little potable water is left in their tank. Each family (or group of four singles) is given one bucket of drinking water per day. The picture shows our student body president (left) overseeing the distribution from the water tank.

We are learning new things about trusting God in this process. Today I was reading Exodus 14:13: But Moses said to the people, "Do not fear! Stand by and see the salvation of the Lord which He will accomplish for you today."

This verse reminds me that there is water for today. (And it even sprinkled a bit last night to water our gardens.) There's water in the tank that's being drawn for each family for today's ration. I don't need to worry about tomorrow. It isn't here yet.

By the way, our cell group outreach went well last Sunday. The gal on the left of the picture in the previous entry taught the congregation an observation and application method for learning from Bible stories. The man in the center gave an application for the story of Jesus calming the wind and the waves. The other gals walked around the village inviting people before the service began. The guys led singing. The whole group sang a special song for offering time. We thank God for helping us adapt to the situation in that congregation. We pray they will continue to grow in their faith as they use the method we taught them.
