Vietnam Evangelical Covenant Church – In September 2026, the Community Development Ministry gave 4.8 million dong to buy 16 well rings, helping to finish a water well for Bru families in a mountain area where the families had already dug the well with their own hands.

When the Community Takes the Lead
About five Bru households live here, closely connected and helping one another in daily life. Every Sunday, believers from several villages gather at the chapel to worship God. Yet one basic need was still missing: clean water for everyday life.
Taking the initiative, the families dug the well themselves. When the digging was done, however, they did not have enough money to buy the well rings needed to finish the work and make sure the water would be safe and clean to use.
A Small Gift at the Right Time
Learning of their situation, the ministry gave 4.8 million dong to purchase 16 well rings. Thanks to this timely support, the families quickly bought materials and continued finishing the well. This is the way of working the ministry values most: the community stands up and does its part, and the ministry simply fills in what is lacking.
“The LORD will always guide you; He will satisfy you in a sun-scorched land and strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.” (Isaiah 58:11)
Waiting for Clean Water
To many people, a well is only a small project. But for families in remote mountain areas, it is an essential source of water that makes life easier and brings new hope. The ministry looks forward to seeing clean water rise from the new well, and the smiles of those who have waited so patiently.
From Vùng Kho in 2023, two Bru-Vân Kiều villages in 2024 and a well for 67 households in 2025, to a drilled well for a Giẻ Triêng church in 2026, clean water has always been one of the ministry’s priorities.
Let Us Pray Together
- That the well will be finished soon and give good water.
- For the Bru families to be healthy and at peace.
- That the chapel here will continue to be a place that brings the community together.
