al times while visiting the Sabbatarians in Western Ukrainian we have wanted
to help them with septic systems. It seems that the methodology that has been in use in
the United States and other places in the world was somehow unknown to them. We had
put out the call for some time to knowledgeable persons to help. United Church of
God elder, John Sackrider, owner of Sackrider Well Drilling in Wolverine, Michigan,
located in the northern part of the state, was able to provide a information about how to
construct such a system that would be useful for villages where there seems to be a dearth
of effective sanitation systems.

Included in the plans was information from the local health department which included guidelines on septic tank construction and installation. Also, there was drain field construction information and charts showing how to properly size and construct a drain field system for a home, business or church.
I was able to pass this information on to Ivan Yurishko, Sabbatarian entrepreneur from Khust.
John Sackrider was recredentialed as elder in the United Church of God in early 1998. He helps look after a group of 10-15 brethren in Wolverine, Michigan. They meet at the conference room at Sackrider Well Drilling.
