HUGE water tank needed...

GCH has recently started the large task of building a water cistern that can hold over 20,000 gallons. Why so much you ask?

The answer is complex...

1. We don't have a regular water source (that is, we don't have piped in city water. We depend on a truck that brings us water every day, at $21 per day);

2. We are constructing a few large buildings, which require fire sprinkler systems (to protect lives and the buildings); and

3. Water delivery is unpredictable (we can go days without water delivery... what would you do without water for a few days?... multiply that by 30+ kids & adults!).

Please pray with us for this important infrastructure for GCH! We know it's vital for our homes, our future, etc.

We are especially grateful for Mark Mesiti-Miller and his engineering company (in Santa Cruz, CA) for volunteering their skills in helping us to build the tank (as they did with construction of the Ed. Center). Once again, they are walking us through a difficult task.
