Two villages were sharing one water source but it was not enough. One village cut Napho village off. A pipeline was built which brought fresh clean water from a river. Everyone now has all that they need. Everyone is enthusiastic and grateful, especially the ladies who no longer have to walk a long way to get water. Circle of Love also sponsored a truck for ministry use in Vientiane. It is used to transport young people to our ministry house where they worship, hear the Gospel, fellowship over food and sometimes sleepover. Many young ladies who work in the garment industry have responded to the Gos- pel. A baptism/picnic is held periodically on the banks of the Mekong River. Pray for these young ladies who have a tough life and often face persecu- tion for their faith. Circle of Love has started supporting 10 pastors inside Laotian men excited about having Laos who oversee the church. These people are key leaders in the work of their own fresh water pipeline. the Gospel.
