62,000 Wells, 6 Million Lives, and a God Who Says Jump | Tom Logan — Supernatural Prayer Stories

from Get Face to Face with God

What does a hitchhiking teenager in apartheid-era Africa, a cliff face with no ropes, a KKK cross burning in the yard, and 6 million people with clean drinking water all have in common? One man's radical, lifelong yes to God.In this episode of Supernatural Prayer Stories, Rick Osborne sits down with Tom Logan — founder of Marian Medical Mission — whose journey reads less like a biography and more like a book of Acts for the 21st century.At 18, Tom hitchhiked alone across Africa, served alongside Dr. Albert Schweitzer, lived on a kibbutz in Israel, and marched in Washington in 1963 to hear Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. deliver "I Have a Dream" in person. He registered voters in Alabama, faced the KKK, and stood on the front lines of the civil rights movement. Then in 1985, he and his wife Jacqueline answered one more call — and it changed millions of lives forever.In this conversation, Tom shares:How Marian Medical Mission has built over 62,000 wells, bringing safe drinking water to 6 million of the extreme poor across Sub-Saharan Africa — at just $500 per well where others charge $3,000Why the mission works: it's run entirely by Africans, for Africans — 21 field officers, 1,100 well builders, and 4,000+ village maintenance peopleA hilarious and gut-honest answered prayer story from 1962 — free-climbing a cliff in South Africa with no ropes, making a promise to God, breaking it 10 minutes later for a pretty girl, and somehow surviving both timesThe story of an 81-year-old man hiding in the back of a truck to sneak into Mozambique to build wells — and how God opened the door anywayWhy Tom believes "sharing the love of Jesus is the best defense against war and terror"What it really looks like when calling becomes the most intimate thing between a person and GodTom Logan is living proof that God doesn't call the equipped — He equips the called. And He has a sense of humor about 18-year-old boys who can't keep a promise.🌊 Learn more or partner with Marian Medical Mission: mmmwater.org🎙️ Supernatural Prayer Stories is part of the Face to Face with God broadcast with Rick Osborne — real stories of people who pray and expect God to show up.🔔 Subscribe and never miss an episode.Watch this episode on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IsgD0OSXcw
