Oh, Mission Mbale Friends, we’re here! We finally made it! We praise God for blessing us with a safe
journey to Uganda, and we’ve spent the day getting settled in. Our friends at Ebenezer Baptist Church have
welcomed us with great enthusiasm--today
has been a celebration! In the
coming days, I will update this blog with posts on all that we have witnessed, but
as you can easily see from today’s photos, God is doing a great thing here among the
people of the Namatala slum. The
children have grown since we saw them last, and they are excited to begin another
school year in the coming days. We had
so much fun catching up with them and introducing them to Matt and Hannah. We visited a storefront where women from the
church are sewing and selling adult and children’s clothes and teaching the children to sew. We visited Ebenezer's farmland and prayed as we
walked this property. Growing season has
not begun and Uganda is very dry. As we
stood in the middle of the land, I looked out across the vast dusty field, only
to turn around and find a dozen dusty, hungry children had gathered out
of curiosity, following close behind us. In that moment the Holy Spirit was quick to remind me:
in a dry and weary desert, we can come to the Savior, our Living Water,
the Bread of Life, a well that will never run dry. He is our message, He is the reason for our journey, and He is the source of strength and joy that has carried us this far. Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings...
