Butler - Project

We have two ongoing projects in Mali, which support our primary mission of evangelism and church planting.

1) The ongoing improvement of our base housing in the village of Koyala, where our team lives. We would like to: 

- Improve our local mud-brick houses with solar power for our team members' living quarters, and for guest rooms. 

- Fence in more of our land for gardens.

- Build another two-room, mud-brick structure to house visitors. This enables us to host short-term teams who come to do medical outreach, children's ministry, and evangelism. 

2) The Village Drill: This is a hand-powered, portable well drilling system that can drill deep wells at a fraction of what it costs to drill with a traditional rig. We have received a grant from Rotary International to purchase the Village Drill, and our team will be trained to use it in villages throughout the region. We need funds for consumable supplies such as cement, PVC pipe, etc. which are used each time a new well is drilled. The estimated cost is $500 per well. This well-drilling service will give us many more opportunities to share the Gospel.
