Clean Water for Burkina Faso

As many of you know, last year I went on a well drilling trip to Burkina Faso, West Africa. Once again I will be traveling to Burkina Faso with Friends In Action International to help on a drill crew. This year we will be working in the bush for 2 weeks in April, average temperatures will be 110° to 120°. It is very difficult work, in very harsh conditions and 2 weeks away from my family and loved ones, but it is SO worth it! I will be traveling with my friend, church-mate and brother in Christ Bill Buck.

Last year we were blessed with funding for our missions trip through a missions fund and other church sources. This year with only Bill and I going, through the drill operators from Friends In Action International, we are seeking help in funding this trip for ourselves. Please consider partnering with us financially in any amount and you can, be a part of giving people fresh, clean water for the first time in their lives. Even if you can not help finanically, we ask that you help spiritually and include us in your prayers.

Burkina Faso is the 3rd poorest country in the world. 20% of children die before the age of 10 from a water borne diseases. Most families have to travel 2 hours or more to get water, and most of the time this water is not clean.

If you want more information or just curious about our trip to West Africa please let me or Bill know.

Thanks!
Mike


This is a finished well with life giving water! Praise the Lord!
