From @mmm_water ... 2019 Well Season: Daily Devotional

September 14 - October 28 is Marion Medical Mission Well Season for 2019. 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.

CALLED TO WORK TOGETHER
Rev. Elisha Mwasakifwa
MMM Program Coordinator, Tanzania

“If one member suffers all suffer together with it. If one member honored all rejoice together with it.”
1 Corinthians 12:26

I would love to do more to give thanks to God, who has called us to work together with this precious family of Christ. Above all in this family, all of us are Christ’s body. Each one of us is a separate and necessary part of it.

In this army of Christ I can see there is more volunteer work, more affirming of others, more supporting the poor in the rural areas of our three African countries, Malawi, Tanzania and Zambia. This is more good deeds for good causes and it is the sacrifice that God wants. Together we can make changes in the lives of many.

When a village gets a well which provides safe drinking water, it means saving lives of many people of all ages, particularly children who are the most vulnerable from suffering and deaths caused by waterborne diseases.

God has provided most of us with enough and more than enough resources to do his will as one body of Christ.

God has given each of us together, Africans and “Mzungus” particular skills and talents to use them for his glory.

Application Question: Are you called to participate in His lovely mission of serving others? Maybe, yes, or no.

Prayer: Lord our God, teach us to dig our roots into your promises and to know that we are part of your body. Help us through your Holy Spirit to serve you in others. Amen
