Outman's Dig Deep
by Michelle Outman
Our Campaign to Raise funds to develop Water and Sanitation for the village of Chuko Weyama. It is estimated that 1.1 billion people in the world do not have access to safe, clean water.
When our family traveled to Ethiopia to adopt Phelix and Phisher God changed our lives and our hearts forever. With our own eyes we saw the desperate need for life's basic necessities: food, clothing, shelter, loving parents and WATER! We watched as animals drank and stood in the same water the people drank from. Think about the disease in water where animals stand, use the restroom in and walk around in. It is not okay with us that the people in Ethiopia do not have safe, clean water. We were excited to reconnect with the Neal family at Kanakuk Kamp this summer. They shared with us their plan to bring water to the village where one of their adopted sons was born. We are excited to partner with them and humbled that the Lord would allow us to serve Him in this way. All of us at DIG DEEP know we can not accomplish this project ourselves. We are praying and depending on our Lord and Savior for every penny it takes to bring clean water to the rural, southern village of Chuko, Ethiopia. Would you prayerfully consider how you and your family can support DIG DEEP and further HIS kingdom in Ethiopia, Africa?
