Dear Friends,
It is late on a Thursday evening and am having one of those epiphanies that I am living the dream and it just doesn’t get much better, and I have God and all of you to thank for it. First all the Waller clan is doing pretty good. All my adult kids, Matthew, Melissa, and Marcelina are healthy and working and responsible and productive. To top it off Dad is doing great and he and I got to eat Mexican food in Ballinger at a restaurant that has been just the same since the 1940! What a blessing. It was the real deal.
My little girls, Margarita and Marilu, are thriving and have community here in our little Paint Rock, Texas country school. I bought two milk cows (actually my Dad bought one as all I had was money for 1 cow but you need two cows or they aren’t happy) and 20 lambs to graze the weeds we grew this Spring out here on the WFA training farm (don’t worry I will pay pasturage to the project) so technically I am putting my animal science degree to use. The cows will be nurse cows to raise calves and also to teach WFAers in training how to milk cows, make cheese, and butter etc. All needed skills where they work. We are busy as can be this Spring doing training courses once a month and finally getting to do long needed R and D putting up windmills, making irrigation ponds and designing low cost irrigation pumps for use in our overseas projects and getting the place set up to teach ag missions in addition to drilling. It is my kind of work and I am just happy as a bird dog in the back of a pick up going hunting.
Then in the evenings I come in and check email and get word from our students and WFA programs of all the wells being drilled in far flung places. I looked on our Water for All Facebook page and saw Sherry who trained with us recently drilled a well in India and had a video of it just coming in. She wrote,
“Hey all, we just got back from India where we got a working well! This is before we fully finished it. The water got cleaner and we had more volume later but I loved the kids playing in this video.” Great video.
Click here https://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=847631667671 if you would like to see it.
Also in April, word came in of third well drilled in Niger by Steve’s group, lots of wells drilled in Ethiopia, wells in Uganda, and lots of wells and windmills and fish in Bolivia and news of groups trained by those we trained drilling in Kenya. It is fun knowing these are in way out of the way places all helping very poor families have water! It is just a dream come true in every way. I feel like someone who planted an orchard of mango trees and am realizing some of the fruit is now ripe and getting to eat the first ripe mangos. God is just so good!
What a great job I have and I fully realize it is only because of Southland and all of the many WFA supporters who pray for us and support WFA. We have a course week after next with folks from Sudan and Chad and also a new young couple who might come on long term with WFA. Plus we have an invite to start a new program in Malawi of all places and we are studying that. So please do keep praying for us. Rob and Almaz and Colin and Ronnie are in tough places but doing great, and James and Sarah will be headed with us to Bolivia in June and then later to Kenya long term. Pray especially for Colin and Ronnie who will be traveling by air, land, and sea (well lake Victoria) to help Geophrey in Tanzania test drill there and start a Water For All type project there. Pray for their safety.
Thank you all so much!!!
Terry

Dear Friends,
I have a friend who is a missionary in hard places, who ends his notes with “swept along”. That is how I have been feeling lately. God is blessing WFA so much some days I literally get weak kneed. This note is about reports coming in and how the work is being “swept along” Thank you all so much for making all this possible.
I recently read a funny but deep book, Lost in The Cosmos: The Last Self Help Book, by Walker Percy. He shows in a quirky way how terribly lost and silly, frantic, and ultimately depraved we as moderns can all become if cut off from God and swept along by ourselves and not by God. We are literally the most amazing “triadic” (his word, a term from semiotics) miracles in the Cosmos, but lost as can be. It reminded me of what a wonderful gift we have in God revealing himself and the testimony of the Bible and believers. Faith gives us a definite identity and place in the universe with definite work to do in loving each other. Being a creature and having fellowship with God just can’t be overrated. Faith and fellowship informs us, and it is so wonderful when we get reports that encourage us that God is indeed in charge and sweeping us along with his plans.
We start a course Monday with nationals from Zimbabwe, Kenya, and Ghana, Wycliffe folks working in Cameroon, and a missionary from Argentina, and an ASU student headed to Kenya. Pray for the course. And then the May course is full already with folks working in India, Chad, and Sudan. Plus we have requests to start a program in Malawi where Joe drilled several years ago. Pray God sends more career WFAers to us. Folks willing to sell out and go and live with and serve the poor, as Collin and Ronnie and Rob and Almaz have and James and Sarah are in training to do. They are such and inspiration. There is so much need, we just need more workers to go and live and work with the poor!
We have been super busy working with James and Sarah and also getting ready for the courses. We have done some practice drilling and put up a windmill to do some R and D for low cost irrigation I have been meaning to get to for years but never had the time.
The sweetest thing though are the wonderful reports coming from overseas. Rob and Almaz are just knocking a home run in Ethiopia. See Rob’s recent March update 2012. Rob’s photos are just amazing. Rob drilled way in the middle of nowhere with some missionary friends there.
Pray for Rob and Almaz. They are living in a small village and just doing a bang up good job. They are having some trouble raising living expenses. WFA pays all the drilling program cost, village housing, transport, helpers, etc. But Rob raises funds that go toward his personal salary from WFA. If you feel led you can designate support for their position. They are just knocking a home run. The pictures left show one of two new test wells drilled for a missionary clinic in a very isolated area of Ethiopia.
This is Rob and Almaz in Ethiopia in the area where they live. Pray for them. They doing a wonderful job!
Colin and Ronnie too are just knocking a home run. Below is a test well just drilled with families from their church in Uganda. It will help a very poor family and all their neighbors.
“We sang a few Ateso (that is the tribe of people we are working with) praise songs and then had a time of prayer to thank God for allowing us to do this work and to thank Him for the water that He was going to provide. Not much longer we started pumping the well and water kept coming out. Immanuel and Deborah (the youth/childrens pastor and his wife) are poor, even by Ugandan standards. Having a water well is going to completely change their lives. Because of the language difference they had a hard time expressing their gratitude to us for helping get them a well. I wanted to express our gratitude to you for allowing us to be here and do what we’re doing. This would not have been possible had it not been for your financial and prayer support. Thank you for allowing us to be here and share in the lives of others. We praise God for allowing us to be a part of what He is doing here.
I have included a few pictures so you too can share in our joy.
The first picture is of Ronnie and Sarah dancing as we sang praises to God for the successful well. If they want clean water they must walk across the swamp to the next village. My friend, Dan, is a wonderful man. He wants to continue drilling water wells for people, for no pay, because ‘as the body of Christ, we should love as Christ did.’ Only God could put me in contact with a man of integrity like Dan who wants to serve and love others like Christ.
The second picture is of Deborah filling her tea kettle from her new water well. Deborah is expected to have her 5th child in less than a week, and she spent a good part of week fetching water from the swamp so we could continue drilling. She and about six other women hauled water non-stop so we could get them a well nearby. I hauled two (yes only two) jerry cans full of water from the swamp to our drilling location and it was one of the hardest things I have done in my life. Drilling a well is difficult, but hauling water is by far more difficult. It is no wonder these folks are willing to give so much to have access to clean water nearby.
Thank you again for your support,
Colin and Ronnie”
Teo and crew in Bolivia are drilling again with clubs plus helping a new “windmill club” of families get windmills for their wells to really help them come out of poverty. They helped 180 families have wells in 2011 and already have clubs going this year. Kathy and I and the girls will go to help and encourage all summer. People can’t wait to see Kathy and the girls. WFA is also helping our church take care of at risk toddlers and old people. It will be a great summer and we will also train James and Sarah for Kenya. Plus we are able to purchase the Hoovers old place for a training camp, thanks to a generous designated gift. It will serve as the only Christian camp in the area plus as a training and demo area for Water For All!
These are the type reports I always dreamt of receiving from our missionaries around the world. Then on top of that we get other report Pastor Sam from Ghana (kneeling by me in the photo below).
From Pastor Sam in Ghana:
“13th April 2012.
I arrived at Agorta, my home town in the Sogakorpe district on the 6th April to attempt another well drilling process. I drilled 4 feet deep on good Saturday afternoon. Easter Monday morning was great in the sense that we drilled 16 feet more in addition. Lo and behold, there is well water. I quickly rushed to the city to purchase PVC pipes. By Wednesday 12/04/2012 I was able to finish the cement concrete and pump some quantity of water just near my father’s house. Hurray and Amen. I am more than excited.”
Then finally we got this nice note from Dalene who visited the wells in Kenya where Russ Qualls (who earlier trained with us) and crew had drilled a batch of wells (photo shows one of the first wells in Kenya). Russ, who is an amazing guy, helped a group of street kids and others drill wells in an area around Kitale. Dalene and Russ and their group called Until Then are just doing a great job. She wrote,
“Hi Terry, I hope this note finds you well! I was recently in Kenya and I have to say you guys at WFA are amazing. The community where the majority of our wells are located reported that no children have gotten sick/died from water related illnesses since the wells have been in place. We wouldn’t be able to say that without you.”
And we couldn’t do any of this without all of you and your prayers and support. So many of you have done so much. We are just so grateful for all of you who have stuck with us and prayed for us and supported the work through the years. My knees get all trembly just thinking about. We are so blessed and we do live on your prayers!
Terry
P.S. A special thanks to Rotary of San Angelo who are helping us with drill bits for the courses! Thanks again to all of you who support and pray for WFA. Also Phoebe is doing better, still in chemo, still touch and go, but so far so good. Thanks for praying. Nathan her father is in the same picture above with Pastor Sam. Nathan has the big hat.

I am in that phase of reflecting after a drilling course. Last week was as busy as can be. We drilled two wells (one in the cold) and spent much time talking about the need to minister incarnationally (in the flesh and side by side) with and for the poor, and to acknowledge the spiritual dimensions of people’s lives and their need for joy and peace and forgiveness and God and his light and goodness as well as water.
The week was one of contrast for me. Of light and dark. During the week Cayo sent photos of 150 of the 180 wells WFA did with clubs in Bolivia in 2011. On two evenings during the course we watched documentaries, one about the suffering Karen people of Burma, and one about the terrible civil war in Liberia several years ago and how God mightily changed some of the most evil people imaginable. A thought provoking documentary that probes the edges of depravity and forgiveness. We were reminded by a viral video on the internet that the same evil still exists on the borders of Uganda where the leader of the LRA is still operating. In my recent trip to Uganda a pastor shared just horrendous stories of how the LRA tortured families and children. Also during the week while pounding away with our drill training we read in the press of churches bombed in Nigeria, kidnappings by terrorist in Mali, coming famine in Niger.
I couldn’t help but think people we train or our own WFA folks are working in many of these troubled areas. One of our friends and partners Dave Reirson (below) I think is in Nigeria drilling about now. Two wells were recently finished by Gary Mitchell in Niger with community development missionaries who trained with us who will continue on there. Rob and Almaz are drilling right now in a very remote part of Ethiopia and Colin and Ronnie drilling in Uganda in the same area were the LRA used to operate. In fact they are living on the Global Care girls school compound that was set up to minister to children who suffered under the LRA . Ronnie is making friends with those girls and already having a big impact. Many of those girls are going to sing songs at the little church Colin and Ronnie are attending out in a tiny village. And then in little old Paint Rock Texas WFA training folks to go to drill in Mali, Tanzania, and Kenya.
Seems as the world gets more dangerous the more some need to be called and go and the more we need your prayers. The more evil hurts people, the more we need to go and soothe and work hard to empower and equip both physically with skills like well drilling but also with the Good News that God understands, and is even at this moment overcoming evil. There is hope and good work to do even in the midst of evil. There is a balm for this tired cruel evil world. That balm is Jesus and the love, real love that knows how to sacrifice, that flows from his arms and of his follower, to widows and orphans and the beaten down and discouraged and those packing water for miles. James told me his parents in Kenya just reported a group that is hauling water 25 kilometers! All the kids have quit school to haul water. They say they are anxiously awaiting James’ and Sara’s arrival.
So pray for us and for the folks we train. The need is so great. Pray for our WFA missionaries. Pray that we can be carriers in some small way of the love and redemption God has and wants for the world. We have two more courses this Spring and then Kathy and I and the girls and James and Sarah head to Bolivia for the summer. Then more courses in the fall. Pray WFA can keep up! The week’s news and my recent trip to Uganda reminded me we are in a spiritual battle every bit as much as we are in a physical battle. Pray we can truly make Jesus known both in Word and Deed and be a little bit of a light in dark places. Being with wonderful folks this past week who are headed out to the hard places encourages me. Thank you all for making it happen! Pray for Matt and Lee and Craig and Bill and two others (can’t use their name for security reasons). They were just great committed folks going to hard places like Mali, India, Kenya and Tanzania.
Also please do continue to bathe us and Colin and Ronnie and Rob and Almaz and Yosi and Macdee and Teo and Serio and Elias and Cayo and Neli and Amalia and James and Sarah in prayer. We do live on your prayers! Colin and Ronnie need special prayer this week as they drill in an isolated area. Pray for their safety and success.
Terry
P.S. Phoebe seems a bit better today! See her blog at http://atypicalmiracle.com/ And we have a house full of our girls’ friends for spring break plus Marcelina and Odette my grandbaby for a visit! Below a few of the 180 wells done in Bolivia in 2011.

Dear Friends,
Greetings from Uganda. Rob just wrote me that He and Almaz are spending their first night in their new little house out of the small town where they will live. Colin and Ronnie are all set up here in their little house. We went and looked at 8 wells done so far between Rick and Joe and Bosco and crew. One was serving 800 people. And Gary just wrote from Niger where he has a rig all ready and they are headed up and moving out tomorrow to do test wells with missionaries there. All is well with our little crew in Bolivia. Sam from Ghana sent pictures of a well they are starting in Ghana and Dave should be arriving Nigeria about now to do some trial drilling. And Ivo who we trained in Bolivia is still at it and just wrote saying he makes his living drilling and has trained 35 more who do the same in Cameroon. He said he and his guys have done 125 wells in Cameroon. From San Julian to Cameroon. Amazing.
So, all is well with WFA and WFA friends. Starting to see lots of fruit from the courses and all is well. Except for the suffering. The suffering we see all around us. All over Uganda as the need for water is just incredible. People haul water so far here it amazes. Seeing people drinking and hauling water from such dirty places and for so far just makes one ache. For so many here just having water for the day, and maybe the evening, is about a full days project. And I know the same for Niger, and Nigeria and Ghana and Togo and Cameroon and so many other places in Africa. And people suffer. Here the suffering has been brutal. A pastor told us of the brutality of cattle raiders, rebel raiders, LRA raiders and floods all in recent years. And on top of that, still barely enough water can be had. The need is so great. Pray for our WFA family, as we at least try and relieve a little of the suffering in this world and encourage our brothers and sisters that live day after day with heavy loads. Please pray for Colin and Ronnie and Rob and Almaz and Teo and Gary and Sam and Dave and Ivo. Pray we can figure out in all these places how to drill and how to teach others to drill. The need in these places is just incredible.
And also pray for Amey, Pheobe’s mom. Phoebe is in chemo now and it is tough. (see below) Seems no end to the suffering. Our situation is dire. Our only comfort is we worship a suffering servant who understands and promises to overcome.
Thanks so much for praying for us!

Medicine woes
Phoebe finished round 1 of her chemotherapy this morning! She had a restless night, lots of whimpering and feeling bad although she never seemed to be in extreme pain.
Our big issue is that Phoebe has learned all of our medicine giving tricks and has put her little foot down. Before we came to the hospital, Phoebe was a great medicine taker. Today she held her steroid medicine in her mouth for 2 hours and then slowly let it dribble out when no one was paying attention. Last night she started rejecting her Blue Bell ice cream thinking that we had put something in it although we had not. She will not drink for fear that meds are in her drink..*sigh…
So, we are trying the “Phoebe, you will take your meds in 5 minutes” approach and then squirting it in the back of her throat. We have tried this once so far, and she still spit a good bit out, so we’ll see how it goes.
This morning I gave her the ddavp shot for the first time. It went well and neither of us cried. I just finished a two hour meeting with the endocrine nurse and to be honest, it was overwhelming. I don’t think I really understood until now what Phoebe’s hormonal future and the necessary maintenance meds would look like. I have been so focused on her ddavp shots and regulating her sodium, when it seems the big deal is realy her inability to control her Cortisol levels.
I was taught how to give an intramuscular “emergency” shot for when she is not doing well, ie: cloudy, doesn’t recognize us, etc. The cause for this would be that a stressor has been introduced to her life, maybe a beloved pet dies or she has an injury like a broken bone and her body’s inability to control Cortisol levels compromises her. I will carry this shot around for the duration. It will be one of the things I check off my mental list before I leave the house each time. Whoever I leave Phoebe with must be able to administer this shot should the need arise. It holds her over until we can get her to the hospital.
When she is older she will have Human Growth Hormone injections to make her grow, and when it is time for puberty, that will be an intervention as well. When she is sick, I have to alter her standard every-day meds (which are many) based on if she is vomiting or not and re-calculate doses. Oy…I’m horrible at math!
The nurse talked about the importance of having people/ a hospital familiar with her situation if/when she has an emergency. It made me wonder how we can ever live away from here? So many concerns today…just feeling overhwelmed and needing prayer.

Dear Friends,
I am back from Bolivia where Colin and Ronnie trained. We have a had great drilling course already out here in Donkey Flats, and it rained in West Texas the day after the course was over! Doesn’t get any better than that. Praise God! It was a great two and half months in Bolivia but it is good to be home in Texas with my sweet family.
Here is a brief update on Bolivia where our guys are knocking a home run, 125 plus wells already this year. Also some pics of the recent course and of the great young people headed out with WFA to serve the poorest of the poor. I am humbled at young people giving up everything to give their lives and fortunes to serve the poor. Thanks for praying for Water For All and making all of this possible! Also I got word from Kenya the folks are drilling and just got word from Uganda this morning Bosco and crew are back drilling there. Keep us in your prayers! We need them! Pray God will guide us and open ways for these young people to serve. We have another course in just a few weeks!
Sincerely,
Terry

Thought I would share a picture and note that just came in from Russell who trained with us at one of our courses. He sent a great picture (well just being finished not clean yet). Russell is an amazing guy with lots of adopted kids from Africa and still finds time to go to Kenya to teach the poor to drill wells. God’s people are amazing. Thanks for praying for projects and for our courses too.

Russell wrote
“Terry,
I wanted to touch base with you to let you know I just returned from a second drilling trip to Kenya. Together with the Kenyan men I trained during my trip in December, we just completed the fifth well using your method (during my five day visit, we installed your pumps in two of the wells they had already drilled (by your method), finished drilling and cased a fourth well, and drilled/cased an entire fifth well. I will get the geographic coordinates and some information for you in a subsequent email, but they are all just south of Kitale, Kenya, which is about 3 hours north of Kisumu, in Western Kenya. The Kenyan drillers are very excited about your method, as am I, and I am optimistically hoping that they might be able to drill about one well per week, if I can get enough funding to pay their salary and day wages for some street boys we are employing.
I’ll send coordinates and depth information soon.

As you know we are learning to drill in Uganda. After Rick’s last well at “Thirsty” village, now name changed to “ Where Water Flows” he took some time to build some complete drilling outfits and find better material for rock bits etc. and found a better cheaper source of bentonite. Well Rick is out now drilling in a new village. First he couldn’t keep fluid in the hole (a must for our drilling method). Apparently he hit a cave in the surface 15 or 20 foot laterite rock layer. He thought he was defeated but overcame by adding toilet paper to the drilling mud and managed to stabilize the hole and got through the rock and drilled down to 24 meters or so in several meters of really good sand. (Remember that if you ever need to clog a hole). Then he cased with some less expensive casing (we always look for ways to make wells truly affordable to the poorest of the poor. So we test the limits of locally available materials. After developing the well some the sand and water zone was so good it collapsed his casing! He tried to pull the casing and lost a section down the hole. Looked like defeat again. I have been where Rick is and it is incredibly frustrating. So frustrating I can’t describe it. Rick decided to redrill the same hole and see if just maybe he could drill right through the casing and save the hole. Below is what happened. Do keep praying for us and for Rick and Sherry! The work they are doing figuring out low cost drilling in Uganda is incredibly important and I admire them so much for having the patience and fortitude to do this grindy gritty work so that the poor might be able to drill their own wells in Uganda. Some one has to do this and Rick and Sherry have stepped up to the plate. Enjoy below. God is good!

Hey Terry,
Thought I’d catch you up on the work today . . . After being so incredibly discouraged after the casing collapsed yesterday, today was a better day – by far! I know you said that you didn’t think we could drill through the busted pipes . . . but we actually did. The guys wanted to try, even though I told them it could really be a waste of time. We started drilling, using a reaming bit, and just like they always seem to do, they refused to start slowly and get the flow going: instead they rammed the bit into the mud and getting the pipes completely clogged.
I allowed them their mistake and chafed at the time lost, but used it as a (another) teaching experience. Anyway, we finally got the drill working like it is supposed to and blew through most of the sand and mud that had clogged the hole. By about 4:30 today, we had also broken up almost all the old collapsed filter and got to the place where we were only 1/2 meter from the place we cased originally. At that point, the drill was getting stuck pretty regularly, so I called it a day and we cased the well AGAIN, at 24.5 meters. As we finished the casing, water was actually pushing out the top of the case. Does this mean I’ve hit my first artesian???
The villagers were so excited that they planned to work tonight under the moonlight (supposed to be a full moon) to get all the backwashing done. So, tomorrow, we’ll swab and condition, then set our pump. I expect this one to produce plenty of water.
Thanks for praying!
Blessings!

Dear Friends,
A dry front just hit here in Bolivia bringing no rain. A lot of dust but no rain. Great clouds of dust that are filling my room here as I write. People here are beginning to wonder what they will do if it doesn´t rain soon. The window for planting rice this season is closed now. Ponds are dried up, cattle are thirsty, fields sit idle and parched waiting for rain.
Teo just told me about a talking to Daniel. ” How will we eat this year? ”
Teo´s reply was “you can use the pond from the new well and windmill to irrigate and plant corn and plant a garden too.”
Each new well represents a new kind of security for families and their neighbors. For families with a well, they and their neighbors know they can make it through a drought, that at least their cattle (savings accounts) won’t die of thirst. That they can at least plant enough to survive and bring in some income till the rains come.
We have three clubs working today as I write. I think probably over 150 wells here in Bolivia will be drilled in our clubs. With Joe and Rob´s 24 wells in Ethiopia plus others that have reported to us, the wells drilled this year by us or those we have trained will be around 400! Wow we have surpassed the magic 1 per day mark. Just think everyday as you go through your day, you can think, today somewhere in the world a poor family has a brand new family water well. They don´t have to worry about hauling water anymore, and the fear of ruin by drought is lessened enormously. And a lot of folks we have trained don´t report back to us. So really it is a lot more than that. Pray we can keep the ball rolling and train more and more folks and start more WFA programs or train others to. The March course is filling fast. We have several new folks interested in long term service possibly, to train to go start new programs in new countries. Rick and Sherry head to Uganda in January. James is coming on with us in April to go to Kenya eventually. In each country we hope to start well drilling movements where the poor take charge of their water crisis and many thousands of wells get drilled. So pray for us. Pray especially we get our own training farm in Texas worked out. We are still working on leasing a place. Do pray about that with us. The opportunities are just tremendous for training more folks if we can get our own place to multiply training.
We watched a group of families yesterday complete a well, develop it, find the water was salty, pull the casing and decide to go deeper. It was quite an operation and to see all the women and men working together was just a treat. They went one hundred feet but need to go to 200 feet in the area where they were drilling. They were all super grateful for the WFA program that equips them and teaches them to drill. On their behalf I want to say thank you to all of you!
Below are fotos of a well club in action this year and a well just coming in. (Don´t worry the water will clear up just fine. Friends and neighbors drilling deep wells and making and installing their own sturdy reliable high volume WFA pumps. We really do actually equip families to take charge and solve their own water problem. It really does work. It still tickles me everytime I see it and I know it could be used in so many other places.
Thanks for praying for us! We do live on your prayers.
Sincerely,
Terry
