ANOTHER YEAR OF BLESSINGS ...

"When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue is parched with thirst, I the Lord will answer them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them. I will open rivers on the bare heights, and fountains in the midst of the valleys; I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water.” Isaiah 35:5-6
Marion Medical Mission is celebrating another amazing year - 36 in all! God has blessed us beyond belief, allowing us to bring clean water to an estimated five million people. We have overcome challenge after challenge - and with your help - we have accompiished the impossible.
Together, we have built more than 42,000 wells, and these wells are a permanent solution to the water crisis in villages in rural Malawi, Tanzania, and Zambia. Your support is saving lives and improving health for generations of people. A Marion Medical Mission well in an African village means the children no longer die from water-borne diseases. It means healthier people who work longer in their fields, producing more food, meaning less starvation.
In 2020, the coronavirus pandemic meant we could not send U.S. volunteers to Africa, the first time in 35 years. And now again, in 2021, there will be no U.S. volunteers in Africa during well season.
However, our staff in Africa is the best of the best! Covid-19 may stop U.S. volunteers from going to Africa, but it cannot stop MMM from building the wells! In 2020, our goal was 3,000 wells -- and the African staff installed 3172! Our 2021 goal is to build 3,000 wells, providing 3,000 villages with urgently needed clean drinking water, covering roughly 60,000 square miles in Malawi, Zambia, and Tanzania. These new wells will provide an estimated 375,000 people (225,000 children) with a sustainable source of safe drinking water. Think about it! 375,000 people will get the message this year that Christians in the U.S. shared the love of Jesus with them.
God has given us more than enough. We have the resources, and we are called to share them. Thank you for joining the adventure, the excitement, the joy of making a difference. Together, we make the impossible, possible.
When we pray, we move our feet!
