A team of 12 people from Center Church in Brenham traveled to Honduras last week to drill a water well.  The group was working with Living Water International, an organization that drills water wells in impoverished areas around the world.  The original plan was to drill a water well in the courtyard of a school in the town of Olanchito.  Multiple problems were encountered as the team made three attempts in three days for a well there.  Center Church pastor and team member Kyle Ogle explains:

With only one day left to drill, the team decided to relocate to a small village about 20 minutes away that was in need of a well.  The noisy drilling rig and all the activity drew the attention of the villagers.  Ogle explains:

After a long day of drilling, the team was able to make a water well for the village.  The pump was installed the next day on a concrete pad that the village men had constructed.  A metal plaque was installed dedicating the well in the memory of Teresa Glasco.  Ogle explains:

The church has already made plans to return to Honduras next summer to drill another well.
