Pentecoste lake – almost empty

I was looking at some Internet information on Pentecoste and ran across a photo that showed the lake at full levels.  The lake today is at less than 1% capacity and is expected not to be able to provide for the community after December 2016.

This is one of the region’s God has brought Ranalto and the Jacobs Well ministry to Pentecoste.  Jacobs Well works with the government to provide the care of the well and pumping equipment for the people.  The government drills and provides the initial equipment for each well.  The Jacobs Well ministries then plants a church for each community to provide for the living water needs as the gospel spreads breaking the hold of religion on the people in these areas.
