Good news! The well rig has been purchased. But, a new truck to mount the rig on is the next thing that will be looked into. Thanks for your generous giving.

About the project.
Water is an issue at the "Light of Hope Orphanage." It is hauled to the orphanage 350 gallons at a time in 2 big tanks, which is then pumped up into a 650 gallon tank. This tank then gravity feeds to both locations. We investigated hiring out a well drilling rig, but for a well 120 feet deep, they would have charged us $16,000.00 US. So, it was decided to purchase a rig, and one is in the process of being purchased for the orphanage. The goal is to dig at least one reliable well for the orphanage. There is a possibility that the rig would then be used for a well drilling ministry.
