“For many years, we struggled with water. The handpump provided by the government was unusable due to iron contamination and bad smell. We had to walk more than half an hour to fetch water from streams. Today, we are so happy to have a bore-well for drinking and daily use. This is a great blessing and we thank God.”

—K. Haraobi, Churchgoer

In the northeastern Indian state of Manipur, located between Myanmar and the rest of India, many villages are remote and rooted in agricultural life. Access to basic infrastructure like adequate shelter and clean water is often limited.

Last month, we had the privilege of supporting the planting of a new church in Leirongthel Pitra. What was once a long-standing prayer has now become a place where people can gather, worship, and grow together. Alongside the church, a new bore-well now provides clean, accessible water.
