”The LORD hears his people when they call to him for help.
He rescues them from all their troubles.
The LORD is close to the brokenhearted;
he rescues those whose spirits are crushed.”
-Psalm 34:17-18
Daniel, a 57-year-old farmer from Ghana, cried out to God for help when his spirit was crushed.
And God heard him.
Daniel shared, “Our well dried up. For three days we had no water. My children were crying from thirst.
I walked to the next community to find water, but when I got there, the line was very long, and people were fighting over who would fetch first.
I waited for hours, but before it got to my turn, the water was gone.
I came home with an empty bucket, tired and heartbroken. That afternoon, my little boy kept crying.
Out of desperation, I went to the old dry well in our community and scooped some dirty water mixed with mud from the bottom. I boiled it and gave it to my children because I had no choice.
The next morning, both of them started vomiting and had diarrhea. Our clinic is about 2-3 hours away, so we rushed there, and I explained what happened to the nurse. She said it was because of the dirty water.
I cried so much that day. I told myself, ‘If we had safe water, my children would not suffer like this.’
So, when I saw the borehole being drilled in Kwanware, I felt like God had finally remembered us. Now, my children drink safe water, and I never have to given them mud water again.”
