We have done artesian wells successfully at MyaYarYoe village effected and destroyed by the cyclone. We have 15 artesian wells have been finished and now alleviate the major problem that they have to face every year at hot season. Please see attachments. shown as sample, we cannot send every picture due to internet problem.

The people who stay in that villages expect to drill artesian wells at their streets also as they also need artesian wells because almost their wells have also dried up at present. I fervently pray to God for more artesian wells can be done for those remain villages. By the grace of God, My brother-in-law John Sein Tun who is working at Unicef Office Yangon requested me to share gospel to his family at his home on Sunday(19 April)as his wife(my younger sister) and his children are non-believers but they just know about Jesus Christ who is our Lord and savior and want to know more about Him.

I invited to Saya Yan Lin Zaw, retired army officer, Army Major, who also has Spirit of Christ and very humble person, to preach and share the gospel at my sister's home yesterday. After Prayer meeting I just talked about our works at village and let them know for those remain villages. They promised me to give expenses to drill 2 artesian wells for those remain village, they gave sacrificially what they have. Praise God! I believe that this is God's plan for needy people at villages but we still need many more and also shelters to provide. The people in some of the delta areas are formerly poor people from the slums areas and effected by the cyclone. They are illiterate, poor and make their living as daily wage earners doing had a hard time to settle down as the area do not have electricity and lack water and sanitation facilities. Hardly able to make ends meet even for their daily food, they cannot spare money for a safe shelter. To make matters worse, during Nargis their small shabby huts were destroyed. Pastor Lu and his partners from Chiangmai visited those villages in and distributed rice and other necessary items to all homeless and hunger and provided some funds for the building of huts the shelters.Praise God! Anyway, we really appreciate and thank you for your generosity towards the needy people at villages to alleviate the major problem and urgent need for the community at present as almost all the wells have dried up in thes areas. The seed of the gospel was sowed by the deeds shown to this community through the donations of the Church Leaders just like you, it might take some time before it takes roots.Praise the LORD ! Our team will go back to villages very soon to implement another a few more artesian wells with the a little money we have. I will also send documentary photos to you OK? Hope to meet each other soon!

Please give my best regards to your family. Have a great time !
