WILLS POINT, TX – A GFA World provided Jesus Well clean water did more than fill jars. It helped families feel stronger, spend less on sickness, and think past survival. As clean water became reliable, the next generation gained time for school, work, and better plans for the years ahead.
For Mai and the other children of her community, daily life carried risks. One of the biggest risks was getting sick with typhoid, diarrhea, malaria or another waterborne disease. And it was a risk these children couldn’t avoid: Their only water sources were open wells, ponds and rivers, which were contaminated by cow dung, leaves and trash. In the summer, these sources dried up.
GFA pastor Raffe saw the residents’ hardships, and he and other Christians in the village began to pray for a well that would supply clean water. The next year, ministry leaders approved Pastor Raffe’s application for a Jesus Well. When the villagers heard they would receive a new well—one that could yield pure water for years to come—excitement buzzed around the village.
After the well was drilled, families began using it daily. They finally had clean water for drinking, washing produce and watering their cattle.
