Dear MOC Prayer Warriors,
We have an urgent prayer need at the Center in Parras and are asking you to join us in praying for God to answer the need! See below for details….
“Spring up, O well.”
Prayer is a change agent—a catalyst of dynamic proportions. Prayer really does change things. When God’s people seek His face and pray according to His will, God moves. The Scripture declares, “You have not because you do not act” (James 4:2). Prayer moves God when we pray together in faith.
We have a prayer need on and around the Mexico Outreach Center property in Parras, Mexico. A large commercial tomato farm has moved in above the property farther up toward the base of the mountains. This farm is drawing tremendous amounts of water from the underground aquifer that supplies the wells of the people living in the valley and the MOC property. We have dealt with pump issues for a couple of years, but the water level is very low and the aquifer cannot supply the water needed.
We need a miracle, and our God is a miracle-working God. Therefore, we are asking God to supernaturally supply the aquifer with an excess of water so that those who need it will have what they need. God promised in Isaiah 44:3—“For I will pour out water on the thirsty ground and streams on the dry ground; I will pour out My Spirit on your offspring, and My blessings on your descendants.”
A friend with whom I shared our dilemma shared this story with me. It seems that during the worst of the Civil War a large number of prisoners of war at Andersonville Prison in Georgia were dying due to contaminated water. The contamination was caused by the huge number of dead and decaying bodies leaching into their water supply. A handful of bold men began to cry out to God for fresh water. God answered, and a fresh, uncontaminated well sprung up out of the ground. If you visit that Civil War site today, that water is still springing up!
We are asking you to join us in praying very specifically these words from Numbers 21:17—“Spring up, O well.” God says we are to ask and keep on asking so we might receive. To seek and keep on seeking, so that we might find. And to knock and keep on knocking that the door might be opened.
This water and all water, belongs to God—not to “them” or “us” or “anyone else.” It’s God’s water! And His people need it. Therefore, we need to ask in faith, believing God will give us the water that we need to sustain, grow, and continue the life-changing ministry He has established in Parras. Please join us in this prayer until God answers!
