"We are so much healthier"
I hear this comment so often now, that I made it the post title. Here's the rest of the comment - "We are so much healthier now that we have clean water, thanks to the filters that you brought us in the name of Jesus!" - I have said this before and I will say it again - please know that from many generous donations, we are making a difference in the lives of many, many people, young and old. I have a Chaplain friend, Philip, whose Grandmother is drinking clean water for the first time in her life! She's eighty years old. One of the Guesthouse cooks, Cecilia, told me that she was recently praying to God whether or not to save up some money to try and purchase some sort of water filtration system for her six children; and today, she told me that God answered her prayer by bringing the two of us together!
The filtration system that they use in the Guesthouse has broken and they are not sure when the new part will arrive, so I have placed one of the Sawyer filters in the common area for all the visiting guests and doctors to use. Fetching water and then cleaning water is a time consuming part of life here in Kenya and many places throughout the world. All day long you will see children and women with their buckets going to get water and many walk for miles to get it - and it's dirty! But with these filters, we are making a difference in their lives and it's very exciting!! Thank you!!!
Here's a short list of proud owners of our water filters:
-Livingston - cook at the guest house
-Helen - cooks at the guest house - she has four children
-Richard - cleans and cooks for one of the visiting docs - he has nine children
-Vivian - cleans at the guest house
-Cecilia - cleans at the guest house - she has six children
-Beatrice - works at the guest house - she has five children
-Wendy - a mother that heard that I had some sort of water filtration - "Could I buy one from you?" I said, "No, I'll give you one" She then ran out and got two buckets and we put them together.
-And the he list goes on and on...

16 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters. 17 If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person? 18 Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth
