Chuck Goodrich

Chairman – White River Christian Church, Noblesville, IN

As the newly appointed Chairman of David’s Well in the USA, I am excited to relay some of my thoughts and prayers. Throughout the last few years, David’s Well has been blessed to receive various donations to serve as Jesus would have us do by His example. Some members of my own family and many from our home church have experienced the joy and warmth of being able to help others. There is no greater love than to share the Word of God with service and monetarily. White River Christian Church has faithfully challenged others to give and to support David’s Well along with David’s Well in Panama.

In the last 15 years or so, I personally have traveled to Panama along with many others to help build schools, medical facilities, erect wells for fresh water and more. The look on the faces of the Panamanians is the greatest of “Thank You’s”. They are so appreciative of our efforts. The hard work and energy given by those on the mission trips is nothing compared to the JOY and LOVE expressed.

Yolanda Whitney

Executive Director – David, Panama

For more than 30 years I have shared experiences and life lessons with the villagers in different places. I have met their poverty and major needs. This has deeply impacted my life, especially when we are taking about the children – those most vulnerable. As far as I am able, I have tried to turn difficult situations into opportunities offered by the Lord in these isolated areas.

I think this is what life is all about: to Love and Serve others regardless of skin color, race, nationality, or beliefs. We are all created by God. Jesus has been our example for serving. He loved us unconditionally. He gave absolutely everything for us without expecting anything in return. He continues to fulfill our needs.

I recognize this is not an easy task. It definitely requires sacrifices, courage, and determination to face obstacles we encounter. However, by trusting in the Lord, He gives us strength to keep on going. My best reward after all this work and effort is when I return to these villages and see smiling children. Children that are happy because of improved health conditions, housing, education, and clean water. Now they can get government benefits that were previously unavailable due to living in a remote area and not even counted as part of the country’s census.

I am very grateful and thankful to God for His faithfulness and mercy through all these years I have ministered. I know HE is with me. He has always taken care of me and He has protected me in the most difficult moments. It is an honor for me to take Jesus’ Gospel to others and restore souls in His Name for His Kingdom.

I pray and thank our God so much for all the wonderful and extraordinary people He has placed in my path to work together in this ministry, in Panama, other areas of Central America, and in the United States.
