A selfless group of missionaries from Living Waters for the World who worked from sun up to way past sundown for nearly two weeks installing a 100% solar -powered water plant for us. The leading-edge technology developed by Living Waters for the World specifically for Haiti is called "Solar Under the Sun". Promised Provision is truly honored to be the first recipient of this technology.
The water plant was dedicated on June 27, 2010. Our Marie Michelle (at right in photo -- who was so instrumental in helping us deliver baby formula following the earthquake) and another woman are now employed manning the plant during its hours of operation from 8:00am to 5:00pm each day. They received training in how to troubleshoot and maintain it as needed, so they have new skills that may translate over into other area of their lives.
We were especially honored that our funding partner, William "Bill" Mendenhall and project director, Chris McRae (in photo at right) were on hand to join in the celebration. Their dedication to bringing hope through health is truly inspiring.
Having clean water readily accessible will have untold advantageous long-term health effects in this community. Please join me in praying for the people here to take this wonderful opportunity seriously and for them to work hard to keep it operational for years to come. I am so grateful to the folks from Living Waters for bringing this dream to life and for choosing us to install their first revolutionary solar-powered system.
We thank all of the members of the team who gave up the comfort of their lives in the U.S. to toil in the filth and oppressive summer Haitian heat to provide this awesome gift.
