Heaven Keeps Score
Differently than We Do

Steve Shultz     Dear ElijahStreams Family,

     Can I just share something from my heart?

     I am overwhelmed by the generosity of YOU, our ElijahStreams family.

     Month after month, you show up. You read these emails. You pray. You give. And I know—truly, I know—it would be easy to start tuning it out. To think, "I've already done my part." But I'm asking you—please don't set this one aside. Because what we're seeing happen in Uganda right now is so deeply on God's heart.

Steve Shultz     I've been thinking a lot about the word "loyalty" lately—not just what it means, but how it looks in real life. In my own life. Loyalty isn't about the things people see on the outside. It's about the quiet yes in your heart that says, "God, I'm still with You. I still care about what You care about."

     2 Chronicles 16:9 tells us: "The eyes of the Lord search the whole earth in order to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to Him."

     That's the kind of loyalty He's after—hearts fully committed. Hearts that feel what He feels. Hearts that can't turn away when they know someone is suffering.

     And right now, His heart is broken for the poor—especially those without access to something as basic as water.

No Water. No Dignity. No School.

     Agnes is a smart, hopeful 13-year-old girl. She is full of potential. But every month, when her cycle comes, she stays home from school for an entire week. Why? Because there's no water at her school. No way to clean up. No private space to manage what every girl her age goes through.

     "Sometimes I feel like I'm not supposed to be at school... like I'm nothing."
-Agnes

     Can you imagine feeling that way at 13? She's not alone. There are hundreds of girls just like her.

When There's No Water—
Not Even in the Delivery Room


Steve Shultz     And then there are the mothers. We just got an update from the Show Mercy team in Uganda. They visited a rural clinic and left in silence... stunned. A mother had just given birth in a room with no water. No way to clean the space. No way to wash hands. No supplies to keep her or the baby safe. And the next mother was already being brought in. All the clinic had to offer was cloth rags... and a prayer.

     Families dig deep holes into the earth by hand, lowering one another down with ropes, hoping to find water. People have died trying. And yet they keep trying—because they have no other choice.

     Everything is done by hand. Cooking. Farming. Washing. Even burying children.
Life is already hard enough. Water shouldn't be the struggle.

     But here's the good news: we can and are doing something about it.

Steve Shultz     Thanks to your support, we've already helped drill HUNDREDS of wells. And when the big rigs pull in—real equipment, with real answers—people run to them. Crying. Laughing. Praising. Because they know: God remembered them. He sent someone.

That someone... is YOU

     There are still more waiting. More mothers. More girls like Agnes. More villages where water could change everything.

     Will you help us again?

     Let's keep saying yes.

     Let's go after what matters most—and bring life-giving water to those who are still praying for a miracle.

      
With love and urgency,


Steve and Derene Shultz
