This is Bonnie and Abby writing on Stan's behalf. He is having trouble with his email, but wanted you to be updated on their progress.
After some difficult days accumulating the remaining needed supplies in Kinshasa , they arrived in Ndjoko Punda on Friday via MAF airplane. Since then they have done much planning, praying, coordinating, and have started the work of getting water to the village. They have cleared 150' between the spring and where the pump will be installed. They are happy with this progress. The most urgent need right now is for 2" pipe. Fred went back across the river trying to find some. Please pray for this. They have had a lot of willing and hard working helpers from the village.
They are staying in the same house that Stan lived in as a child. It is very hot. Last night's supper was bedia (cassava flour mush), matamba (cooked greens), dikdik meat, and bananas. The time difference is seven hours ahead of us.
There have been many God-appointed circumstances which I'm sure Stan will write more about later. Please keep praying for them. The needs are great but God is sovereign!
God bless you all for your care and concern!

I would be glad to hear from you on what happened there. I lived in the village of the Biyenge people from 1988 to 1989 as an anthropologist, and was called Shaamba Kaambwaat.
