Orphans, Drought, and How You Can Help

Many of you saw the video and appeal for help last Sunday in our services: Zambia is experiencing a major drought; even the majestic Victoria Falls is drying up.  The orphanage we support, New Day Orphanage, does not have adequate water for its orphans.  So, we need to drill another well and construct a tower, tank, and water lines.  The total cost of the project is $15,000.

Our retirees, most on fixed income, raised about $2,000 just from an announcement at their monthly potluck.  The rest of us can surely join their commitment to provide a well and clean water for orphans.

LifeSpring Church has been involved in evangelism and church planting mission work in Zambia since before the New Day Orphanage was started by two couples, including Wes and Laurie Wilcox, members of LifeSpring.  Since that time more than a decade ago, we have sent teams to serve at the orphanage, and many in our congregation have “adopted” an orphan at New Day through monthly support.  Check out New Day at newdayorphanage.org

To give to the well project, make your gift to LifeSpring Church, and designate it for the “New Day Well.”  You can give through check or online.

Pray about how God would have you give above your normal tithes and offerings for this worthy cause.  We can make a difference!
