Program accomplishments

  • We had 2 fundraising campaigns in 2024 during the 2nd quarter in May- a Walk 4 Water and the October Water Relief Gala events to raise money for the ministry. Both functions were reasonably well attended by about 250 participants or volunteers with many also donating money to support the ministry. Key accomplishments: 1. We drilled 13 new wells in Nigeria and rehabilitated 7 well projects. 2. We drilled 10 new wells in India and rehabilitated 7 existing wells. Total new wells: 23 and rehab wells: 14 for a total of 37 well projects accomplished by RNM field teams alone. Distribution of gifts and refreshment are given during these well projects dedication ceremonies with gospel proclamations, and some Bible distribution as needed in a given area or location. 4. Other Accomplishments include: A. WASH Hygiene and Sanitation teams - conducted 8 Well Site visits of previous projects done by RNM for water quality testing, hygiene training for behavior changes and evangelism. B. Dorcas Tailoring Training in India ran their annual program supported by RNM with the addition of 3 more new sewing machines, and materials provided to the women. C. Provision of food and supplies to 4 Orphanages - 1 in Nigeria, and 3 in India. One of the orphanage got a tricycle for a crippled man to help him buy and resell vegetables. The Boys in the Boys Orphanage got shoes for Christmas, and some got job skills training as well. D. The Orphanage with the CH Jayama Ministries in Andra Pradesh got some funding to help advance their building expansion project in which the living area was build and sealed with improved kitchen and toilets. E. We also sponsored a Medical Outreach in India where basic health checks were done, vitamins distributed with other gifts as the we shared the gospel of Christ and demonstrated his love.
