Greetings to you in the precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
We pay our heartfelt thanks for your great love and sympathy towards Hebron orphan children.
Thank you so much for witnessing about the Hebron ministry to the brethren in USA.
The water problem remains here at Hebron. Our water lines were cut back in 2012 and we have to pay for water trucks to fill our cistern once very three days to provide enough water for us to bathe and drink. Today, we are still buying the water from the Palakol municipality. Recently the municipal water truck has broken down so we are hiring a truck and paying the double price for its rent to get the water to bring it to Hebron.
There are two ways to improve the water situation at Hebron.
1. As you may know we are living in the Palakol rural area ( non municipal) the rural government authority is giving new water connections to the individuals in our area. The problem is we (Hebron) have to pay the taxes ( land and building taxes of Hebron) which are in pending by 2014 March. The amount of the pending taxes are about 2000 US $. Until we pay this tax the authority will not give us permission for the new water connections. We will apply for three water connections on individual names because if we apply as Hebron organization, that would become commercial and the water tax will be very high. We want to get three individual connections to get this water supply. Each connection costs 100US $ . We need three connections to get good supply which will come 1 hour in the morning and 1 hour in the evening.
2. We need to repair the present water filter system at Hebron to get sufficient water supply. The water filter system is getting frequent repairs . To fix this problem we need to put in water softeners. The present filters are completely damaged and we need to put the new ones. This costs 1800 US $ .
Please consider this is a greatest need at Hebron. We pay our heartfelt thanks for your great support to find the sponsors for this particular need.
I also am making a special prayer request for Suneeta as we are conceived by the abundant grace of God . Suneeta ‘s blood sugar is going up as the weeks are increasing as she suffers from diabetes as many do here in rural India. She is taking insulin now. We need continues prayers of the brethren for Suneeta. Thank you for your prayers on our behalf.
Sagar and all at Hebron

Dear brother Ron and sister Cynthia,
Greetings to you in the precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
I am sad to tell you that Suneeta had miscarriage again yesterday. I know it is God"s will as He is still testing me . These trials are causing me more near to Him to know His purpose and will. Thank you for your prayers for us.
Yes , the Geo life inc of Chennai tested our bore well water . This was happened about 10 to 12 years ago. They found there is much sand and red oxide in the water. Richard helped to dig bore wells at that time. These bore well are not much deep . They are between 25 to 30 feet. Two years ago I tried with the larger bore well which goes up to 490 feet. I found nothing but fresh high salt water. So we continued the same lesser deep bore wells for filtration.
As we applied for three individual water connections from the local water supply for drinking purpose we can use this filtered water for all the other purpose. This water can be used for drinking also.
By this way we can resolve the water problem at Hebron.
We pay our heartfelt thanks to you all for your love and concern towards Hebron.
Your brother in Christ,
Sagar and all at Hebron.
