WE DID IT!!!!

Dry Tears Update- GOAL MET!!

Well, God has done it! We have raised over $4,500 dollars, so we've met our goal! As of Monday night, God provided the funds we needed to drill a well in Sono, Burkina Faso! The people of Sono will now have acess to a clean water well, and ultimately, this will result in thousands of lives saved, and the name of Jesus will be magnified through this project as well.

Its been amazing to see how God has provided in miraculous ways. It took us six weeks to meet this goal, and at times I wondered if that was even possible. I have such little faith sometimes. But, we have to give God ALL the glory in this, because He loves Sono more than we ever could, and He wanted this well for them even more than we did. I'm reminded of several verses that talk about God's desire for His children to help the poor. "He who is gracious to the poor man lends to the Lord, And He will repay him for his good deed." (Proverbs 19:17) And, 'Then He will answer them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’' (Matthew 25:45). Its amazing to know that God has allowed us to take part in helping some of the world's poorest. And we acted in obedience to a request from our Savior to serve and love his children halfway around the world. I'm SO excited!

We'll be sure to keep everyone updated with pictures and progress reports as we continue to stay connected to Dry Tears and Sono!
