Water in Mozambique is a precious commodity.
Recently, they have had a serious drought and people are dying of thirst! Crops are turning to dust. It rained last week for a bit and the people rejoiced! Continue to pray for enough rain.
While we were there this July, Titus showed us the pump that needs repaired or replaced in order for him and his men to continue to drill wells. Our Clean Water Team from Crossroads UMC is preparing to go in April to facilitate some wells being drilled and hopefully equipping the Mozambicans to continue to be able to drill wells on their own. Like anything else in the world, it will take money, planning, and technical abilities to accomplish this.
But we are seeking to provide so much more than manpower and economic power for the provision of water there. We are seeking to provide the people of Moza
mbique with water that will quench their thirst forever ~ the Living Water. How wonderful it is that we do not have to have a pump; we do not have to drill a well; we do not have to wait for rain to drink this Living Water. So as we provide materially for the people of Mozambique, let's not forget for a moment that our mission is provide spiritually for them as well. Let's pray that as the wells of the land gush forth with water for their bodies, that the Living Water will flow abundantly into their spirits. Amen.
I enjoyed reading this Sue and it reminds me of the importance of getting the spiritual living water so that we will never thirst again. Its my desire for the Mozambiqueans that the wells will quench their human and spiritual thirst. How awesome it will be if all those who draw the water will get to know the Lord through this touch of unconditional love being extended to them. I enjoyed this Sue. May the Lord continue to give you more and more of His messages to share with believers and non believers.
