Twelve More Wells!

As the rains began to fall in South Sudan on the Darfur border, the sounds of heavy machinery and large, pounding hammers could be heard all day and into the night. It was PPF’s drilling team frantically digging to beat the rains. By mid-May, twelve brand new wells were complete. Twelve new communities now had […]

Giving with Wisdom

Poverty is Africa’s biggest industry. Every year, $ billions flood into Africa in the form of government and privately funded charity.

Into the Void: Part I

Into the Void: Part I

Void: An empty space. What I just witnessed never happened. You won’t read about it anywhere in the news. No one is talking about it.

What Men Mean for Evil, God Uses for Good

What Men Mean for Evil, God Uses for Good

Less than a year after a UN official announced the official “end” of the war in Darfur, Sudan, the UN released a document stating that May, 2010, was the deadliest month in Darfur since 2008. Fighting between rebel groups and government troops cost nearly 600 lives, which is the highest death toll in a single […]

Christians Gather in "Heart of Dixie" to Support PPF

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 […]

Small Group Supports 100 Wells Project

Dear PPF, One day, I was listening to a local radio station, and they did an interview with someone about Persecution Project Foundation and the 100 Wells Campaign. When I got home from work, I went to the website and watched the video, and it really touched my heart. I did a little research on […]
