Every attempt to drill had failed. For the families living there, daily life was shaped by this need. They would travel nearly two miles by bicycle just to purchase cans of water.<\/p>\n<h3>A Step of Faith<\/h3>\n<p>During a season of prayer, the pastor sensed a deep and quiet assurance that God would provide water. Taking a step of faith in a place marked by disappointment and continuing to trust God\u2019s promise, they chose to try once more.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6696\" style=\"width: 498px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/ptp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/05\/IMG-20250528-WA0112.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6696\" class=\"wp-image-6696 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/ptp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/05\/IMG-20250528-WA0112.jpg\" alt=\"drilling for water\" width=\"488\" height=\"488\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/ptp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/05\/IMG-20250528-WA0112.jpg 488w, https:\/\/iphc.org\/ptp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/05\/IMG-20250528-WA0112-270x270.jpg 270w, https:\/\/iphc.org\/ptp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/05\/IMG-20250528-WA0112-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/iphc.org\/ptp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/05\/IMG-20250528-WA0112-375x375.jpg 375w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 488px) 100vw, 488px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6696\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">drilling for water<\/p><\/div>\n<h3>A Miracle<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The drilling began. 100 feet, 200 feet, 300 feet, there was still nothing. The workers recommended stopping. But believing the Lord had spoken, the pastor asked if they could continue just a little further. At 330 feet, the answer came. Clean, abundant water flowed from the ground. The pastor was overcome with emotion and tears of gratitude. The Lord had kept his promise!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6697\" style=\"width: 609px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/ptp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/05\/IMG-20260404-WA0039.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6697\" class=\"wp-image-6697 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/iphc.org\/ptp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2026\/05\/IMG-20260404-WA0039.jpg\" alt=\"water from well\" width=\"599\" height=\"468\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6697\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">water from well<\/p><\/div>\n<h3>God&#8217;s Provision<\/h3>\n<p>What once was a place of scarcity is now a place of provision.
