ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL YEAR
Watson Kapachika
MMM Field Officer, Malawi
"Remember that I have commanded you to be determined and confident. Do not be afraid or discouraged, for I, the Lord your God, am with you wherever you go.” - Joshua 1:9
Marion Medical Mission has been providing clean water to Malawi, Zambia and Tanzania for the past 37 years. Last year (2022), MMM took a step further by penetrating into Mozambique as an expansion area for the Nkhoma Synod Protected Water Programme. The reception of the programme from community leaders and gate keepers in the expansion area was warm and very encouraging, so much so that 20 new wells were constructed within a few days.
However, the local government through a “localidad,” who is the local political leader, had a different opinion and was reluctant to approve activities in his ward. He believed that behind the provision of clean water and the evangelism that came with this good gesture, was a pent-up motive. At some point, he instructed the installation team to cease the installation works until he consulted the central government for approval. In Exodus 33:14, The Lord said to us: “I will go with you and give you victory.” This was manifested when the localidad called a couple of days later and gave a green light to resume the installation.
Indeed we have overcome challenge after challenge and with the help of our God in Heaven through Jesus Christ who said that “I shall be with you until the end of the world,” we shall never stop. Fifty new wells are slated to be built and installed this year as a permanent solution to water crises in communities in Mozambique. The wells shall also save lives by curbing water-borne diseases which have been plaguing these communities. A village of 17 households perished from cholera disease during the past rainy season leaving behind only three survivors.
There is a new hope for the communities of Mozambique. We thank the Lord for assisting the needy and helpless communities at their darkest hour.
Application Question: Who can stop the work of the Lord?
Prayer: Our father in Heaven, we are aware that You have solutions to all our problems. We believe that these needy communities are in the palm of Your hand, please open Your doors for their blessings so much that nobody can bar them from getting their share. In the Mighty name of Jesus, Amen.
