Vietnam Evangelical Covenant Church – In early May 2026, the project to build a drilled well for a Giẻ Triêng church in a mountainous part of the Central Highlands found clear, clean water at a depth of about 145 meters. This was the result of many prayers and the support of the Community Development Ministry.

A Church of 350 Believers Without Enough Water
In a small corner of the Central Highlands mountains, a Giẻ Triêng church of about 350 believers gathers faithfully. Last year, church representatives shared a very urgent need with the ministry: water for daily use. The church and the families around it struggled to get enough clean water, especially in the dry season.
The church hoped to drill a well near the kitchen and install a tank of about 2,000 liters with a pump, to serve shared activities, cooking for gatherings, and to share water with the surrounding community.
The First Drilling
On the morning of May 1, 2026, machinery and a work crew arrived at the church grounds. The first drill bits went down into the earth, marking the start of a project the community had long awaited. The ministry asked brothers and sisters to pray for smooth drilling, a good water source and the crew’s safety.
The Water Has Come Up
Just one day later, photos and videos from the site showed that the well had been drilled to about 145 meters and water had been found. The water flowing up was clear and clean, bringing great joy to the church and the people around it.
“I will open rivers on the barren heights, and fountains in the middle of the valleys. I will turn the desert into a pool of water, and the dry land into flowing springs.” (Isaiah 41:18)
The remaining steps are to install the pump and tank so the well can soon become a blessing to the church and the whole community. The ministry thanks all the grandparents, brothers and sisters who remembered this work in their prayers.
Let Us Pray Together
- For the pump and tank to be installed smoothly.
- For the well to serve for many years and become a blessing to the community.
- For the Giẻ Triêng church to keep growing in faith.
