Earlier this year, I was fortunate to join Cherith, Bruce, and their team on a visit to the Indigenous community of Achullay in the province of Chimborazo. The community celebrated the inauguration of a water system recently completed by Life Giving Water Int'l. The timing of the trip was truly part of God’s plan for my life as the spiritual encouragement of the team and community came at a challenging part of my walk with Christ. It is amazing to see how access to running water impacts the lives of the people in the community forever, and how grateful they are to Cherith and Bruce. The people were unbelievably generous, especially since I was not part of the project in Achullay, and yet they included me in their festivities and fed me so much food! More importantly Life Giving Water Int'l's ministry bore fruit in the lives of all who were involved. The power of coming along side a community to assist the capability that already exists is what I think makes this organization unique and effective on a developmental and spiritual level. I feel so blessed to have been given the opportunity to see how God has used Life Giving Water Int'l and I am excited how God will use it in the future.
