WATER FOR LIFE

A number of ministries and churches in Namibia are also reaching out to our neighbours – Angola, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Zambia. In the coming days Kunene for Christ , a ministry in the Kunene Region of Namibia will continue their work in Angola. Their vision is: All people in the Kunene region must know, worship and serve the Lord Jesus as Redeemer. Kunene for Christ wishes to plant very small congregations which are self-governing, self-sufficient and self-evangelising, to be established with discipleship training of the local leaders. They also have a heart for those across our borders.

 

In partnership with several churches and ministries in Namibia and South Africa, they are involved in establishing a training facility in the north of Angola at Kikuni. One of the greatest needs in the area is for clean water. As in the rest of Africa, water not fit for human consumption, causes health problems and deaths.  

Every 21 seconds, a child dies in the world from a water-related illness 

  Women of the world spend 200 million hours a day collecting water.

This problem needs to be addressed before progress with the training facility can be made.

Here is the team who discussed the water project in Windhoek. Prof Jurgens Hendriks from the University of Stellenbosch, French Ferreira from Upington (SA), Brian Stokes from George (SA) Clem Marais (DRC Synod Namibia), Willie Coetzee (Kunene for Christ Council), also a representative of IERA in Luanda, and Jacob Schoeman from Kunene for Christ.

This coming week a team will travel to Kikuni to further investigate the issue and work towards a lasting solution. Please pray for -

• Timely issuing of visas for Angola.
• Safe traveling.
• Wisdom in finding the best solution.
• Good cooperation between all teams.
• Total dependence on God.

Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God and 

who it is that asks you for a drink, 

you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.

Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, 

streams of living water will flow from within him. 

John 7:38

For the Lamb at the centre of the throne will be their shepherd; 

he will lead them to springs of living water. 

And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.
