Water from Rock

The Kilgoris Project has been working on a well at one of the schools for a while now. While we were preparing for our trip to Kenya, the team prayed that the project would get a drilling permit without cooperating with corruption and bribery. After a few weeks of praying and waiting, it was finally granted. They drilled and drilled and we prayed and prayed that they would hit water. Yet, after digging down more than 200 meters, they still had not struck water.

But, they then realized that even though they had not hit water at the bottom, this now 200 meter deep rock tank started to just fill with water every night. We essentially now had a giant cistern with enough water everyday for the school.

So, on Sunday, our last day, we all went and christened the well as the Kenyans sang songs about how God doesn't change and he can give us water. It was quite the modern day example of the Old Testament stories of God providing water for his people out of rock.

Here's the awesome video Jon made about it:
