First Baptist Church of Andrews has blessed us! They bought a generator for us! We have frequent power outages that often last over 4 hours - the longest so far has been 14 hours! For light, we use candles, but with children, candles are dangerous. And candles can't cool a refrigerator or run a fan!
For those interested in the technical stuff... We purchased a Kama KDE 7000E3 Diesel Electric Start 3-Phase Generator.
It is wired into our house between the meter and the breaker panel with a switch (see picture). At 6.5 KVA, it is large enough to run most things in our house, although we cannot run certain combinations of appliances at the same time (i.e. the electric water heater and the microwave cannot run at the same time). We purchased an extra long detachable cable so it can be hooked up to our house, or it can be moved to other locations for ministry, like showing the Jesus Film.
