There have been a few problems recently with the water bottling project. Timbala Foods has recently pulled out of the business arrangement but the church has decided to push on with the project and become fully independent. It has meant quite a lot of investment, learning to label the bottles and buying a small shrink wrap machine. The 3 men who work in the bottling house say they’re prepared for hard work and are really keen to move forward.

Jane asks us to pray for the re-launch of the water, that it will find its place in the market and it will soon generate funds to support other work in the area.

So how can we encourage the Bates family?  We can pray for them:

• That God will keep them healthy and safe
• That God will bless them in their respective jobs and give them opportunities to share God’s love with their patients. For Vincent that he will respond to the gospel.
• For Mkokomo water – that it will find its place in the market and soon generate funds to help the church continue with its mercy ministry.

We can support them financially through Pip n Jay offerings.

We also have a team getting ready to visit and join in with some of the work.
