Good Morning from Mbale!
Today is our last day of ministry with the people of Ebenezer and our
last day to spend with the children. I
can’t wait to share with you about the special services we have planned for
today—dedicating the beautiful new prayer shelter and distributing the goats
that were purchased with funds raised by FBC Newnan’s children at VBS. I hope that you will remember our team and
pray that our last moments with the children will be tender and sweet. Pray that God would give our people strength to
reserve our emotions until we return to the hotel, as we don’t want to upset
the children.
It is hard to fully understand if you’ve never come to
Uganda. It’s hard to know the pain and
struggle—and the incredible joy—unless you’ve experienced it with all your
senses. And there is no way to
comprehend how, even in such a short time, we have come to love one another
so dearly—only to say that it is by the Lord’s design.
But I also know that many of you have been following Mission
Mbale and our ministry teams on this journey for some time. You have heard our stories of destruction and
despair, of hope and restoration. Your hearts
have been opened to love people you may never meet this side of heaven, and out
of obedience to the Lord and because of the love of Christ, you have given your
time, your resources, and your prayers.
To just say thank you feels hopelessly inadequate.
Our prayer today for the people of this place is the same as
our prayer for you. We hope that you will
lift this blessing up to the Lord as well. For the beautiful people of Mbale, Uganda…
“May the Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord to make his
face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance
upon you and give you peace.” Numbers
6:24-26
