Ever consider a mission trip?

Marion Medical Mission is seeking volunteers to join them building & dedicating 3,000 wells in Africa this fall. Exact dates of the trip will be announced soon, but each volunteer will travel to Africa for three weeks of service between mid-September and the end of October. Volunteers will travel to villages, dedicate the new wells and celebrate with the people receiving clean water. All volunteers are responsible for financing their own trips. Volunteers must be over 21 years old and in good health.

While the wells are actually dug by the Africans, our volunteers drive the manual transmission trucks to each well site, carry parts to & from the installation and walk over occasionally rough terrain to reach the work sites. MMM trips are as life-changing for the Americans as for the villages who receive the wells.

A volunteer from the 2016 trip shared, “I saw such joy on all of the village faces at each site as they received this wonderful gift, but I will never forget the happy amazement on the faces of the older men and women who said, ‘We never thought we would see this in our lifetime.’ What a privilege to represent Marion Medical Mission and all of the donors who made this possible for over 2,500 villages this year.”
