Hi, my name is Kelly
Erickson, I am 12 years old, and I will be participating in this
year's confirmation class at PFUMC. |
| Building one well in Africa
provides water for 3,000 thirsty people in one village. That's
equivalent to 3 PFUMC congregations!!! The cost to build one well
is $2,500. Our goal is to raise $8,000 so we can build 2-3 wells in
the Liberian area of Africa. The Missions Committee at church is
matching dollar per dollar up to $3,000 for the well project which is
called "Water for Life". "Water for Life" is organized under the
United Methodist Church Partnership with the Bishop of Liberia.

Wristband available for
every $3 donation. |
At church, we have set up a "bank account" which
we can put all of the collected funds into to keep safe until they are
used. Any checks can be written to PFUMC and in the memo line
write "wells in Africa". The confirmation class will be taking on
this project as their service hours. We have only one year to
complete this entire project. It is my hope that I can go to
Africa and see the well being built.
Thank you for visiting this
website and for your donation!
