Large areas of liberated Ukraine do not have running water. Many people have had to get buckets of water from rivers and streams. For drinking water they had to buy bottles or line up to get water from a water truck (pictures below) This is a huge impact on life.
We are partnering with pastors and towns, installing water filtration installations that give entire areas a consistent, on demand source of pure clean water. Our first water purification installation is in a church. So in a very real way, people are being offered ‘living water’ as well as normal water !!
This equipment produces better water than their communities had before. The installations are not cheap, but people come from miles around !!
Blown up dams, surface water polluted from destroyed industry and petroleum depots, agricultural chemical spills … war has devestated the water supply for millions.
Pastor Sergiy and his crew are just finishing the second installation. This one has gone into the city hall of Bila Krynytsia, also in Kherson. Like many parts of Ukraine, Kherson Oblast continues to be under constant shelling and rocket attacks.
Thanks so much to everyone for your prayers and financial support !! Pray for the peace and safety of the people there. Our friend Daniel (w/ his young wife and baby) had a missile land in his yard this week. Thank the Lord, when it hit their house it did not explode … it was a miracle !!
We and everybody here appreciate you all so much !! Everybody has been so very generous and I know that the Lord is looking down with great joy on all of you !!
Love and Blessings,
Allen & Katy Lake, Directors
