A GIFT FROM GOD
Jamie Erikson
MMM Executive Director
"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.” James 1:17
Something as beautiful as MMM could only be a gift from God. From every act of giving, from the beginning to the end of each Well Season.
MMM coordinators, field officers, installation supervisors, and well builders diligently serve God, going way above and beyond. Though they receive no additional compensation, they build many more wells than their job description requires of them. They know the impact these wells will have for their brothers and sisters in Christ. It is a righteous act, a gift from God.
Every single donor throughout the year is a gift from God. Without every penny God graciously provides, these wells would not be possible. He stirs in the hearts of His children to be a part of the miracle of MMM. We sometimes receive donations with precious notes apologizing that the donation could not be larger, yet it is because of all of these donations together that these wells are possible.
Unwavering office volunteers weekly commit to doing office tasks. Faithful trip volunteers pay their own travel expenses and work with the African staff to install pumps, record well data, and dedicate the wells to the Glory of God. Devoted board members lead and guide the way forward. Faithful ambassadors tell friends and family about MMM and make presentations at church and Sunday School. God has gifted donors to orchestrate fundraisers; from little children doing household chores to raise money for a well, to large golf events funding multiple wells, and church fundraisers funding the annual salary for a Field Officer!
The love of Christ propels MMM. Every intricate detail is a gift from God. We do not bring anything to the table other than what good gifts, talents, and blessings God has given us to share. We can do nothing on our own, but with Him working through us, MMM is unstoppable. God is our source for all of the beauty and miracles we have seen over the past 40 years and will continue to see. He is unstoppable.
Prayer: Father, Thank You for Jesus, our right standing with You. Thank You for making a way for us to spend eternity with You. Thank You for Your Holy Spirit, empowering us to do whatever You call us to do. Help us to be who You have created us to be. Help us to commit every act unto You. We pray for Your good and perfect will for MMM. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen
