Water, Glorious Water!

This morning marked another milestone for PPM in Leogane. Through our partnerships with Bethesda Ministry and the Living Waters for the World organization, we prayed and broke ground on a water treatment plant in the Chatuley section of Leogane.

The water plant will be the only source of clean water within a 3-mile radius of seven tent camps housing thousands of people in temporary shelters. We will be able to satisfy the safe water needs of more than 600 families per day.

This new partnership helps further our mission in Haiti. Not only will the community benefit from clean purified water, but also from our delivery of the Living Word and prayer. Living Waters is training our young people to operate and maintain the system. Our young Christian operators will be praying and passing out gospel tracks in Creole to each individual they serve.

Supplies & Equipment to Construct New Water Purification Station
The plant, located on Pastor Joseph’s property directly across from one of the largest camps, will be used as a means to provide jobs for at least three (3) of our young people. We are praying the God will raise at least one of them to a position of service where, in the future, they may be considered for Living Water’s technician training program scholarships. From my vantage point here on the ground, I clearly see the value in our emphasis in networking with people and organizations who are doing things well here in Haiti and helping them do it better…either through providing sweat equity or other resources. We are helping to make already good programs and resources better and more accessible to the Haitian people rather than wasting time, money and energy reinventing the wheels.

We prayed today that the water from our purification system will be used for God glory in furthering His Kingdom in Leogane and that it the members of the community will be healthier because He is providing safer, cleaner water to them through us. May they also drink freely of the Living Word of God because of our presence here!!

We want to thank Chris Mc Rae and the Living Water Team for working so hard in making this dream a reality for us at PPM and the Chatuley community in Leogane.

In His Service,
Roody
