Marion Medical Mission Devotional Book
"For where two or three come together in my name,
there am I with them."
Matthew 18:20
Daily Devotions for Well Season
September 1 - October 31
3,000 villages are waiting. Field officers in Africa are handling a myriad of details. No American volunteers are going, but you can still be a valuable part of our mission!
We need prayers! Join with us to pray daily over the work of Marion Medical Mission through our short devotions. There's one devotion for every day of well season.
You can receive a devotion each day via email - just click here to get on the distribution list OR click here to download a complete set of devotions from Amazon for e-reader.
Please share this with any of your friends who might be willing to partner with us in prayer. Would you also ask them to add us to prayer lists during well season? 3,000 wells is truly an impossible goal, but together, we can make the impossible possible!
Only together can we be who God created us to be!

GraceWorks Ministries
Due to the generosity of many within the FPC Franklin congregation, GraceWorks Ministries just had their second best year ever with the Golf Fore GraceWorks event that took place in August. The generous donations will help put food on our neighbors' tables, help cover rent and mortgage payments for those who have lost jobs or been furloughed, help with utility bills and other vital life support for folks who live in our midst. The gross fundraising total is over $123,000 and this is during a once in a lifetime pandemic! Thank you for being a blessing both this year and in the past. Please keep GraceWorks and its important mission in your prayers. If you would like to donate please go to the GraceWorks Ministries website: https://www.graceworksministries.net/donate/.
