A Safe Arrival in Bangkok

Todd, John and Tim have arrived safely in Bangkok on time and with everything they came with! The government assured them that getting visas will not be an issue and once that process is complete they will be taken by boat 5 hours into the Irrawaddy Delta.

Jim Cluney, Phil Perdock, John Hays and Mike Phillips, from Harmony Bible Church in Danville praying over the water units before they are distributed.
God is doing so many good things for International Water Management Systems! Yesterday Mary Hays spoke to a Mennonite congregation about a recent trip to Mexico and now has the financial support of a couple of the SS classes as well as some individual donations!

"We certainly serve an awesome God."

Cameroon

Several months ago a water unit was sent to Cameroon to help 4 small Pygmy villages. Read below to hear about the wonderful news and hearts of thankfulness from the people of Cameroon.



"Dear mr John, On behalf of my family, Destinee Charity Foundation and the indigenous communities in Kribi south cameroon, i thank you for providing the water purification system and all other support you have provided to ensure the project was successful. Here is the message from the indigenous communities/pgymies to you: Since we have been living in this forest, no person/persons nor the government has ever provided us with such a valuable gift.Though that you are not here with us, we believe that nature will transmit our joy and thanks to you.We are poor but have a little graps of the nature.We will remember you and always add you in our prayers that God give you more days on earth to continue to serve the poorest of the poor like us.We have good drinking water through your grace and hope that our little childrens will have better health and one day they will be able to read and write.

Sincerely, Laurence Jumbo Ekale"




This is John, named after their hero John Hays
