Marion Medical Mission: Elizabeth

St. Mark donated $3275 to MMM with Christmas Alternatives, which will fund 8 new wells in Africa this year.  Kimberly Richey is coming to speak to St. Mark’s Adult Sunday School class on Palm Sunday on March 25^th at 9:20.  Today, Kimberly shares some of her memories.

A well installation with Marion Medical Mission is a life-changing moment, as much for the volunteers as for the villagers who will use the well.  Every single time a well shares its first drops of clean water, the village breaks into cheers, tears and singing. 98 year-old Elizabeth overcame pain of severe arthritis to walk down a steep hill to celebrate when her village's well was installed. Even though the terrain was rough and it took her a long time to reach the well site, Elizabeth wasn't about to miss this special occasion.  This well answered prayers of her entire lifetime! She's prayed over several generations of children who were ill from drinking unclean water -  she's attended too many funerals!  She's lived to see a major change for the entire village!
