Give the money. Help drill the well. That’s what First Baptist Church in Hempstead has done over the past nine months through Texans on Mission’s Water Impact ministry in Peru, with an assist from First Baptist Church in Melissa.

Akot Hellen Odong is a mother of eight. She and her husband, Odong Bir Jackson, are farmers who grow maize, soya and eggplant, mostly for home consumption. They are among beneficiaries of a well drilled this year by Texans and Ugandans on Mission in the village of Alepu. The well is now providing water for 420 residents.

Royal Ambassadors and others at First Baptist Church in Keller have supported Texans on Mission's Water Impact efforts in Peru, and last week Savion Lee and Mitch Chapman visited the North Texas congregation.
