Ryan's Well

It started with the dream of a special young lady in the senior youth fellowship. Ready to begin her impact on Africa, she spoke of her desire to raise money to build a well now, instead of waiting for the years to come when she would one day visit and hopefully build wells with her own hands. So our youth group took advantage of the opportunity to help with this impact. The first challenge was placed to the children during out annual Vacation Bible School. Under the rules of "only coins allowed" they managed to bring in a breath taking $600! This was a quarter of the way toward the goal of $2250. God's grace then came into place and showed some extra money in the Christian Education account. This was graciously used to match the amount of money that the children had accumulated. So within one week we had raised $1200. This was over half way to our goal. It was then through the generosity of the church, for the goal had been opened up to the adults, that we were able to reach the set amount of money by Thanksgiving of the same year. So miraculously, with the seed of a dream and the love of our church, we were able to raise the money for a well in less than 5 months.
