It is not too late if you would like to donate to financially help with this final phase of bringing clean, running water to our DOWM widows & orphans in Kenya. We appreciate all who have helped to make it possible for these dear people to get their water from a nearby pump and not have to make the long trek to the river each day.
For nothing will be impossible with God.” Luke 1:37

DOWM ORPHANS &WIDOWS SAY THANK YOU!
We are so happy and blessed to be helping the DOWM Widows & Orphans and others in their community to get clean water to their homes or to a water spicket close to there homes. No more walking for miles to get dirty water from the river. God is good and these people are thankful!
And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19
But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. Matthew 6:33

Many thanks to Kathy Bothwell and family for making The Long Walk For Water in the great state of Texas. While Michiganders had a respite from the heat on Saturday these folks in Texas walked in 3 digit heat. Hope you opened your water jug and used the water for drinking as you walked.
Thanks to Teresa Krause for being the first to register for the walk and to also encourage family and friends to participate too.
Walking in Michigan

Friends from Bellevue
This group of friends from 1st Baptist Church in Bellevue were supposed to be with us in Kenya when the Covid-19 pandemic hit. All travel was cancelled, but we praise the Lord that we were in the US when the lockdown began. It is our desire to be in Kenya in December with Nick (the photographer of this group) and then again in March with all four of this group and the rest of the team that had to cancel this last trip. Lord willing we will be there together in 2021. Thanks much Nick Barnes, Luke & Tera Julian and Parker Hall for making The Long Walk For Water with us.
Friends from Nashville, Michigan
Thanks to the Allwardt family for making the Long Walk For Water for this cause. Art & Ella made a short term mission trip with us to Kenya a few years ago. They had the opportunity to meet our DOWM family and have shared their memories with many since their return home.
