Clean Water for Nigeria Fundraiser Update

Special thanks to all who participated in our Advent Conspiracy campaign during the 2011 Christmas season. Together, we raised $5607.02 which will be used to drill fresh water wells in Northern Nigeria. The two villages likely to receive these wells are the Shiti (“shee-tee”) Village in Kano State and the Dutse (“doot-see”) village in Jigawa State.
 
These villages are deep in the Northern part of Nigeria, and the implications will be huge in light of all of the recent violence there by radical Islamic groups. Pastor Isaac has begun the work in Kano and will be starting the work in Jigawa soon. Pastor Jason from EastHill will be in Nigeria from   February 14th-28th and plans to send us an update on the work that is being done as soon as he can. Please pray for the safe travel of the team and the Lord’s anointing, as they teach several training sessions for pastors and   leaders in the region.
