From @mmm_water ... 2023 Well Season: Daily Devotional

September 1 - October 31 is Marion Medical Mission Well Season for 2023. The season will include daily devotionals - one for each day the U.S. volunteers are overseas, sharing the love of Jesus by providing safe, clean, sustainable sources of drinking water to the extreme poor in sub-Saharan Africa. Marion Medical Mission is one of our mission partners at Grace Presbyterian Church of Midland, Texas, and we STRONGLY encourage you to read these devotions to learn more about - and pray for! - their mission.

HE SHALL STRENGTHEN YOUR HEART
Susie Selock
Volunteer, Illinois

"Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all you who hope in the Lord.” Psalm 31:24

know that there are many real issues with the use of social media, but I am so glad that Facebook gives me the opportunity to stay connected with our African MMM friends.

I was heartened by a recent post from field officer Happy Kamsonga about an incident in which villagers reported being without water from an MMM-installed well. The maintenance men were quick to respond to the problem and within one day they were able to restore safe drinking water to the village. There were no details given about all the individual efforts that were made behind the scene to make this happen but I know that the people involved demonstrated to the villagers that this was a priority. Courage, strength, and hope in the Lord were probably happening during that day.

This story made me pause to give thanks to all the faithful people that make the MMM program the success it is. This year we are celebrating 50,000 wells built since 1990. Take some time to ponder all the faithful people who made this happen and are continuing to make this happen and all the lives benefited as a result. What wondrous work has been done because of those who have shown and are showing the good courage and hope in the Lord.

Application Question: What has God placed in your life that needs his strengthening of your heart to make happen?

Prayer: Dear Lord, we pray for and give thanks for all the individuals in the MMM program that are willing to put themselves in harm’s way to do Your work. Please let them be an inspiration to us all. Amen
