Living Water
If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that asks you
for a drink, you would have asked him, and he would have given
you living water.
John 4:10
We preach the good news of the gospel so that people might know
the gift of God, eternal life in Jesus Christ.
In Tete Province, Mozambique, we preach the gospel, and we assist
communities in digging wells. Deep wells are necessary in this
area, and special equipment is needed in order to reach the pure
water. To survive in this place you need clean water from deep
wells and in-depth Christian discipleship in the living Word of
God. Paul claims in second Timothy 3:16 that this Word of God
can thoroughly equip a person for all that they are called to
do and be. The combination of God’s Word and life-giving
water is powerful medicine in this poverty stricken country. Though
we do not live in poverty, we are thirsty. Jesus said, “If
anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes
in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will
flow from within him” (John 7:37-38). |
