LIVING WATERS FOR THE WORLD
Nancy Russell, Patrice Gensel and I just returned from a ten-day survey trip to Sacalum. Please join us on July 28th for an information meeting about Living Waters for the World and our upcoming water system installation trip to Sacalum, Yucatan, Mexico, which is planned for this fall. We are looking for a team of seven people to join us as we install a water purification system in the small village of Sacalum. We need several people to work with Nancy to educate residents of the town on the benefits of clean water and several people to work with Patrice to help install the clean water system itself. The residents of Sacalum were very welcoming and their leaders are well organized and enthusiastic. We hope to see you on the 28th to share our experience, tell you what to expect if you join us, and involve you in this outstanding Christ-led organization. If you have questions call me, Hope Anderson, at 320-3285.
