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.” Isaiah 41: 17
Marion Medical Mission is celebrating another amazing year - 38 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 accomplished the impossible.
Together, we have built nearly 50,000 wells, and these wells are a permanent solution to the water crisis in villages in rural Malawi, Tanzania, Zambia, and Mozambique. 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 again, in 2021, there were no U.S. volunteers in Africa during well season. In 2022, we were blessed to send a small group of seasoned volunteers to witness the miracle that occurs when wells are installed. And now in 2023, we are sending two full teams of volunteers!
Our staff in Africa is the best of the best! Covid-19 may have stopped U.S. volunteers from going to Africa, but it did not stop MMM from building the wells! Our 2023 goal is to build 3,500 wells, providing 3,500 villages with urgently needed clean drinking water, covering roughly 60,000 square miles in Malawi, Zambia, Tanzania, and now in Mozambique. These new wells will provide an estimated 350,000 people (210,000 children) with a sustainable source of safe drinking water. Think about it! 350,000 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!
