Wells of Hope: Where Clean Water Meets Living Water

“Water is life. But in these villages, water is often the very thing that steals it.”

When I stepped off the plane in India, I never imagined that muddy, unusable water would become one of the biggest emergencies of our trip.

The well at our children’s campus, the only source of clean water had collapsed. What came out of the pump wasn’t drinkable. It was muck. In 106-degree heat, with 70+ kids relying on that well daily, the urgency was overwhelming.

But that was just the beginning.

The Pond Isn't Enough

During a quiet conversation with a few local pastors, one of them leaned in and asked me, “Pastor, how do we handle persecution?”

It wasn’t a hypothetical.

In his village, Christians aren’t allowed to draw water from the communal well. They’re forced to drink from the same mud holes where animals bathe. No child should have to grow up believing that their faith excludes them from something as basic as water.

I asked him, “What’s the solution?”

His answer was simple and humble:

“If we had a well of our own, on the church property, we’d have clean water… and we would share it with everyone.”

From Desperation to Overflow

We prayed together, believing that God would provide. I didn’t know how or when. But within a week of returning home, two different people approached me—each wanting to fully fund a well.

Two wells. Two miracles.

• One drilled at our orphanage campus, now flowing stronger than any the drillers had seen in the region.

• One in that persecuted village, where believers now gather around a shared miracle and pass buckets of water as freely as they share their faith.

These wells have become more than a source of hydration. They are altars of gratitude, places where you can hear prayers shouted joyfully over the sound of running water.

Why “Wells of Hope”?

Because in these remote places, clean water is not just about sanitation — it’s about dignity, safety, and the ability to stand strong in faith.

Each $2,500 well:

• Provides safe water to entire communities.

• Protects Christians facing discrimination.

• Opens the door for ministry and discipleship.

• Is a visible sign of God’s faithfulness and of your generosity.

You Are the Hero

When you give, when you pray, when you share this story you’re part of this miracle. You’re the reason children drink clean water tonight. You’re the reason believers in remote villages know they are seen and loved.

And this is just the beginning.

Three more villages are still waiting. The need is urgent. But so is the hope.

“Whoever gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones… will certainly not lose their reward.” — Matthew 10:42

Will You Help Dig the Next Well?

• $2,500 provides one well for an entire village or church community.

• $100 provides clean water access for 5–10 families.

• Any amount brings us closer to the next well.
