Theme Song
The Spirit of God is flowing here.
Love me tenderly, Lord,
with the power of your presence
that is flowing here today.
Our 9th Installation and our 1st in a Hospital
​Through heat and humidity, tricky plumbing & electrical work, a power outage, and a loud back-up generator, the GMP and In-Country installation teams persevered. Meanwhile outdoors under the cooler and quieter covered patio, the education team and the kitchen staff enjoyed with the health and spiritual lessons. When the installation and training were successfully completed, all the partners joyfully celebrated together and presented the 1st bottle of purified water to the hospital director.
​​​​​​
​The Chiquimula National Hospital no longer needs to buy expensive bottled water for preparing patients' meals or requires patients, visitors, and staff to bring their own costly drinking water. ​The hospital will save $1,100 per month to be used for patient care and will provide free clean, safe drinking water.
Clean water is a critical resource in a region where waterborne illness is a daily threat. The hospital’s leadership expressed deep gratitude. In the coming year, we partners look forward to improved patient health outcomes as clean water becomes a consistent part of daily care — reducing infection risk, supporting families who accompany loved ones, and easing the strain on an already overburdened medical system.
A Three-wheel Motorcycle Expands Clean Water Delivery
​
The GMP and In-Country teams traveled next to Peniel Church, where they installed their 7th water system in 2022. Since then, the church is successfully producing clean water for their children's feeding program and selling bottles of clean and affordable water to local villagers. To expand distribution, the pastor purchased a 3-wheel motorcycle in advance with money loaned by the GMP. The church can now quickly and efficiently deliver twice the bottles of clean water to nearby needy communities.
When the teams arrived, the pastor and church members gathered around the new delivery vehicle to bless it and to take turns riding it for the 1st time. They expressed their gratitude with a lunch enjoyed by everyone, a waterdrop-shaped award, and surprisingly, their 1st loan repayment. The thick roll of cash was many small denominations from those who gave free-will donations or bought the church's clean and affordable water.
The small denominations were like the poor widow's offering of two very small copper coins. Jesus said, "She, out of her poverty, put in everything--all she had to live on." (Mark 12:44) ​ The pastor told us when he evangelizes to villages, he presents them with the 5-gallon bottles of clean water. And he tells them that clean water is a gift from God.​
