NOW THERE IS WATER, WATER, EVERYWHERE, BUT …
From mid-May till mid-October, the monsoon season usually brings an abundance of rain. During that time the mountain spring provides a generous supply of excellent water which is collected in a huge reservoir for the Silver Oak campus. However, about two months after the rains cease the spring dries up. From early in the new year we are faced with purchasing water from truckers who bring it up from the river.
Years ago another large cement reservoir was constructed just below the spring. However, it has been neglected and overrun with weeds and dirt. For the last month we have had a couple men working on cleaning and re-plastering and covering this valuable hole in the ground. If my calculations are anywhere close, it should contain more than 80,000 litres which will be very precious in a couple months.
Precious stuff, that water! I wonder what all might be included in Jesus’ claim to provide “the water of life”.
