Wells Will Be Dug

One of the many ministries you support through your gift to the Great Commission Fund is the digging of clean water wells.

Young women and children in Burkina Faso often walk up to four miles roundtrip to obtain water; about 3 million people lack access to clean water. “Digging a well is a wonderful testimony of God’s love to the Burkinabe!” says Alliance international worker Doug Conkle.

“Earlier this year,” notes Conkle, “we partnered with a team from Greenview Alliance Church (Montoursville, Pennsylvania) to dig wells in four remote areas without adequate clean water sources. Each community also has lacked understanding about the living water (see John 7:37–39).

“Our first well site was in the village of Nana, populated by the Marka people, who are devoted followers of West Africa’s predominant religion.

Wells Will Be Dug“When an elderly leader heard that a group was installing a well, he visited the pastor in Nana, expecting to see a team of Burkinabé drilling. He found instead a group of mostly North Americans, who had left their families and the comforts of home to freely give his village a well.

“‘What have we done for these people that they would come all this way to provide clean water for our village?’ he exclaimed, tears streaming down the face. The pastor told him that it was the love of God’s Son, Jesus, which compelled the team to travel thousands of miles to provide the well for his people, whom they had never met.”
