There are thousands of villages in the desert regions of Central Asia where entire families live on less than five gallons of water per day.  Imagine only five gallons of dirty river water for all of the drinking, cooking and cleaning for a family of six people!

Clean water is a vital need for these families.  That’s why we are attempting to equip and train a team of national Christian well drillers who will, prayerfully, go from village to village drilling water wells.  But even more important than clean water is the need for Living Water.  These villages are one hundred percent Muslim.  Clean water projects provide an opportunity for XMA teams and national Christians to enter the villages, demonstrate Christ’s love through meeting physical needs and share Living Water through oral Bible stories.  Although our well drilling was not successful this time our team did share the Living Water of God’s Word with many people.  Our local host told us that this is the first time that any Christians have been allowed to visit the village and if it had not been for the well drilling we would not have been allowed to stay.

Please pray for God’s Word to continue working in their hearts and minds.  Also pray for our well drilling efforts.  Due to the harsh winter weather it will be next spring before we can try again.  We need volunteers for our next attempt. We especially need an experienced water well driller to help train the national drilling team.  Please contact our office if you’d like to be a part of this Adventure with a Purpose in Central Asia.
