Our birthdays have always been quiet events. For every birthday that has come along each year, we have simply chosen to celebrate as a family. But this year was Loyal's sweet sixteen, and her friend Olivia thought we should have a big celebration. Well, that made sense to us, and so we planned. I suppose it was a typical party - good food, teens, games and laughter, with brownies and ice cream to top it off. However, this birthday still held a unique touch. Instead of presents, Loyal asked each of her guests to bring a gift ...

Fairlawn Baptist Church's children's ministry, "Prayground" got active in raising financial support for the 100 Wells Campaign this summer. The children's ministry is made up of about 40 children ranging from 1st to 5th grade.
"Prayground" chooses a monthly mission project to support. In August, 2011, they chose to support PPF's Safe Water Projects. Their donation will help us bring more clean water to the Darfur refugees in Jaac.

Although my family has supported PPF for several years, it wasn’t until last year that I began to read about the 100 Wells Campaign. I live in one of the rainiest states in the U.S., so no one worries about not having enough water to drink. I’ve never wondered where my next meal will come from or lacked clothing or a roof over my head.
When I learned that people in Sudan were not only suffering from extreme persecution, but that they also lacked basic necessities, my heart felt torn. I had always known people around the world suffered ...
Persecution Project Foundation is feverishly working to provide a basic water canopy for the population in Jaac. The 100 Wells Campaign has drilled 62 clean water wells in Jaac to date, with plans to complete 100 by the end of 2010. But this aggessive goal is totally dependent on God's grace working through the generosity of thousands of Christians in America.

By using your community in America to support their community in Darfur, thousands of lives are saved. But, most importantly, many souls are ...

Enterprise, Alabama, is a unique town, because it's the only municipality in the world with a monument dedicated to a pest.
More than 100 years ago, the boll weevil destroyed much of the area's cotton crop and forced farmers to diversify by planting other plants - including peanuts, which became a new cash crop. In gratitude for the unexpected blessing of this little bug, citizens of Enterprise built a monument in the center of town as a reminder that good things can come from unexpected places.

Recently, a PPF supporter organized a "Walk for Water" at Northern Florida Christian Center in O'Brien, Florida. The event was designed to raise funds for PPF's 100 Wells Campaign to provide clean water for thousands of Darfur refugees.
Carol Hudgins contacted our office and told us her idea to raise money for PPF to drill another well. She recruited church members, family and friends to seek sponsors and to participate in the walk. On March 14, 41 walkers gathered for the event.

"For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ. Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually." - 1 Corinthians 12:12, 17
By its very name, a divine appointment is when an individual or a group of individuals meet one another not by chance, but by an orchestration of events governed by our heavenly Father.
We've all experienced divine appointments at some juncture in our lives. When we met our spouses, when we found the perfect job, and even when ...

Dear Friends,
Each year for Christmas, I give my family's "gifts" to a ministry that would be of interest to each one. There are 26 of us, and when we get together, I tell them where their gift went, and give them some literature about that project and ministry.
This year, the gifts for the married men (6 plus my husband who lives in heaven) were sent to PPF for the well project. I said I knew how they would feel if they couldn't even provide safe water for their families, then each one (all 24 who were there) received ...
