     Dear Elijah Streams Family and Friends,
     All we can say is WOW! Your generosity and
 ÂÂ
sacrificial giving is impacting lives. About every 3
  days, a new water well is being drilled in Uganda
  (not to mention the other Kingdom focused ministry
  giving happening because of you).
     Clean, safe, drinking water is becoming available
  to thousands every month. As a background, Mike and I (we have been close personal friends of Derene and Steve for more than 20 years) have been working in Uganda for nearly two decades, and we know from personal experience how these water wells dramatically change lives. And now YOUR choice to
give to Elijah Streams is helping to fuel a new move of God in these areas of Uganda.
     And it IS an exciting move of God! Thousands of men, women and children are giving their lives to Jesus! New churches are being planted. Physical healings are on the rise. And the growth seems to never stop now.
     BUT, honestly, I'm not sure the word "lives" truly paints the picture of what I am trying to say. When I say "lives" or I say "THOUSANDS" it becomes almost like a news headline and then we move on. But none of this is about statistics.
     Not at all!
     It's about God's people! It's about God's friends and family. And it's about one person at a time,
whose life you are changing!
     If you could see the impact firsthand, you'd see that YOU just changed a new mom's world. And her tiny, malnourished baby Olivia...she was struggling for nourishment, but now has access to baby formula mixed with CLEAN, SAFE water. Each day baby Olivia is getting stronger and putting on weight. Your giving towards clean water helped with that.

     You also helped Jaja (Grandpa) Edward. He's a 75-year-old widower. He's been struggling to survive. He never had easy access to clean water and regularly went days...YES DAYS...without water!
     It's been a depressing hard life for Grandpa Edward, that is, until he heard the news...that YOU, through your giving to Elijah Streams, wanted to provide water to his village. The minute he heard this, he jumped at the chance to help. He knew he was to be a part of this project and donated a portion of his land for the community well!
     Now he, along with his neighbors, can easily access water. They know it is a gift from above. And they don't take one drop of it for granted.

     So THANK YOU for all that you've done! It makes our hearts grateful to be on the Elijah Streams team. To be partnering with YOU.
     As Mike and I have been out and about, meeting some of you, we are amazed at how many people love the prophets that Steve brings on Elijah Streams. We've been encouraged to hear YOUR stories of reawakened hope and faith as you listen daily and weekly to Elijah Streams. We are inspired by you!
     Today, will you prayerfully consider making a generous donation to help more babies like Olivia and grandpas like Jaja Edward? They are precious in God's sight! Together, we are changing the destinies of many people around the world, not only physically but spiritually. Your reward will be great both here and in the age to come.
Mike and Lori Salley
PS. Derene and I can't thank you enough
for the love and support you continually
show through your generous giving. We are honored to be advancing God's Kingdom together with you.
