Multiple parts to our mission... (keep up the prayers)

First United Presbyterian Church has worked in cooperation with multiple villages to install water filtration systems in areas where it is needed. We were trained by Living Waters for the World. There are many villages that have access to water but it is not potable. The systems we install enable them to have clean water for their village. It is usually a multi-year process, the first year, we will scout a site (making sure there is a need). Next, we will build a building that can be used to install the system. Finally, we will install a system - training the village people on operation and maintenance as well as how properly use and distribute the water. Additionally, we always have a vacation bible school type program for all of the children in the community. 1) This year part of our team are putting a water filtration system in, in this small village of Veracruz, Quintana Roo which is several hours south of Cancun near the border of Mexico and Belize. 2) We have another group teaching the people of the village (today we had 12 ladies and 6 men) about the water system. 3) We also had about 30 kids today in our vacation bible school. We thank you all for the continued prayers of support for our team.
