A story from the field

A well in Ethiopia, dedicated to a daughter

When Ben Murray joined Designs for Hope, he brought more than seven years of relationships — he brought his family's story. Ben and his wife dedicated a water well in Ethiopia in memory of their daughter Henrietta, who went ahead of them to heaven.

That well doesn't just provide clean water. It tells a community that someone who never visited their village loved them enough to give. That's the Gospel in action — physical provision opening a door to spiritual truth.

— Ben Murray, Director of Donor Relations
“

Water wells aren't just clean water wells. They're opportunities to share the Gospel and the love of our Heavenly Father. Every project exists to open a door to the good news of Jesus Christ.
