It is FINISHED!

The drilling rig is officially finished. After being custom built for the needs of Operation H2O and engineered and designed specifically for Africa, and after extensive testing WE ARE FINISHED! Or should I say we are ready to START?! Today Cheryl from Sign Co in Pleasanton went to Austin with me to put the decals on the rig. It looks GREAT! We want to thank all of our supporters who made this rig possible and we hope you will continue to pray for us as we get ready to start using this rig in Africa in the coming months. It is now being prepared to be transported by boat from Houston to Kenya which will be a 62 day journey and we will let you know when it has shipped. For now enjoy the pictures below of the finished RIG that we believe will bless hundreds of thousands of people in the coming years. The yellow air compressor at the bottom will provide the massive amounts of air needed to drill through the hard rock formations with our air hammer. This was a huge blessing that God provided through a very generous donor.

The drilling rig progress is coming along well. The main frame of the trailer has been completed and is going out for paint this week. Once it is returned we will be ready to have the motor, tanks, drill pipe, and pumps installed on the rig. That should take a few weeks then we will be ready to dig some test holes. Thanks for your prayers below are some more prayer requests and pictures of the rig that we took before it went out for paint.

Prayer needs:
1. Pray for wisdom as we try to find a truck that can tow this rig.
2. Please start to pray that we have no problems with customes in Kenya.
3. Pray that God continues to bring supporters to our orginization. Once this rig is up and running in Africa we will be drilling wells faster then we are currently raising money.
