Thanks so much for praying! God has answered in miraculous ways! Many of you know that our compressor for the well drilling rig had broken down in December, and after weeks of work it was still not operational. Without the compressor, no wells. The rest of ICDI's operations depend upon the well drilling operation, so this was a serious problem. Thanks to an emergency trip to Africa by specialist Bruce Kelso, we were able to get the compressor going again.

We drilled a 180 foot well and struck water...A school here in Berberati has water, and the well drilling crew is back on schedule, all because you prayed!
