The adventures of Air Mobile Joe


THIRSTY

8-6-25  Wednesday 6:31 AM ( U.S. Eastern Time) – At the Air Mobile “Retreat Cabin” – In the Mountains of East TN –  Report submitted by: Air Mobile Joe  

When was the last time you were thirsty?  Now, I don’t mean like driving down I-95 and realizing that you forgot to bring a bottle of water with you.  

You can just pull into the next exit and buy one or two bottles of drinking water at one of several convenience stores. 

No, I’m talking about being really thirsty.  I recall when Cindy and I were leading a team to bring in life-saving water purifiers on Nias Island, Indonesia following the deadly Boxing Day Tsunami.  

We had deployed all of our Rescuer Water Purifiers and hiked back to the landing zone where we were waiting for a U.N. helicopter to pick us up and fly us back to the Mainland.

Our whole team was extremely thirsty. Several of us were on the border-line of “heat Stroke”.  

Then, like an epiphany, we saw coconuts hanging over our head.  We sent a young Indonesian boy shinnying up the tree and throwing down a coconut for each team member. 

I so well recall how delicious and satisfying was that coconut milk.  A little while later, the UN MI-8 landed and brought us bring us back to the mainland.

Now, just imagine how many millions around the world lack clean drinking water.

Your donation makes it possible for us to GO and bring the love of God and clean water to the thirsty!
