Stories from Team 1

I got to see Team 1 on their last night in Malawi. I showed up at the hotel and got lots of good hugs and got to catch up with friends and meet new ones and hear some of the adventures. Here are some that I gathered during worship when we were asked to share where we saw love and God:

Team 1 installed 1,324 wells! (That's up from last year of 1,203.) And that is in the midst of some rain that stopped work and some demonstrations around Malawi in protest of this year's elections. This year's goal is 3,000 so that leaves us on Team 2 1,676...let's get to work!!

Translated from the villagers prayers at the dedication is the certainty that God has brought us all together.

Two of the partner teams agreed that here in Malawi we don't have AAA but we do have MMM. They called in truck issues (one was broken down in a field)...got to their hotels for the night and by the next morning they either had a different truck or the mechanic had come and the truck was ready for more installations!

Comments of how we are saving our children with this clean water at the dedications. That we are bringing dignity. That we share Christ's love by giving the human dignity of clean water.

A young man at the airport ran after one of the Malawian staff and said that many years ago, MMM had put a well in his village. He said life changed and now he was working at the airport! Glory to God!

Blessed are the hands that give, for they are the hands of God.
