Poori learned a painful lesson: avoid snakes when fetching water. It was a miracle she didn’t die from the snakebite or the polluted water. Who would bring relief to her remote village in northern India?

NARRATOR: Poori feared walking
to the open well to get water
because poisonous snakes
were always nearby.
INTERPRETER: (VOICEOVER) One
time I was bitten by a snake
while getting water.
My family thought
I was going to die.
One of the villagers told
the pastor what happened,
and he came to my house
and prayed for me.
INTERPRETER: (VOICEOVER)
After I prayed,
the Lord Jesus
Christ healed her.
She completely recovered.
INTERPRETER:
(VOICEOVER) That's when
my husband and I put our trust
in Jesus as the one true God.
NARRATOR: But Poori still had
to keep going to the well,
even though the water
she risked her life for
was almost as dangerous
as the snakes.
INTERPRETER: (VOICEOVER) It
is filled with garbage, dirt,
and bugs.
Drinking that water often
made my husband and me sick.
When we were sick,
we couldn't work.
That meant we couldn't eat.
NARRATOR: They knew
Jesus could do miracles,
so they asked Him for help.
INTERPRETER: (VOICEOVER)
We prayed that He
would solve our water problem.
And soon CBN came to our
village and dug a well.
NARRATOR: All the
villagers rejoiced,
knowing they could
easily and safely get
clean water from CBN's well.
INTERPRETER: (VOICEOVER) The
well is close to our home.
Now we don't have to walk
far or be afraid of snakes
while getting water.
Now we will not get
sick from dirty water,
and we will have
more time to work.
We thank God and CBN for
making this possible.
