Far More Abundantly Beyond

It's time!  As the team makes final preparations for our trip to Uganda, as we zip up the suitcase and lay our heads down in our beds at home for one final night, I want to extend an extra-large thank you to all of you for your prayers and support.  Tomorrow our 30-person team will board a plane headed for Uganda.  Some of us have never flown before.  Some of us will earn our first passport stamp.  Some of us have never been to Africa, and some of us are returning to our home away from home.  Praise God for the way He has assembled this team, and praise Him for bringing so many into the family of Ebenezer and Mission Mbale.  We hope you will continue to check this blog site, as we update it regularly during our trip, so that you can follow along on our journey and continue praying. 

This week I had the opportunity to speak to campers at Camp Sonshine about Ebenezer Baptist Church and Mission Mbale.  I enjoyed answering their questions about the village, and I was absolutely humbled by the prayers for Uganda lifted up by these precious kids.  It was such a joy to share God's story of Namatala, to tell about the beautiful children whose lives have been transformed by the love of Jesus through the family of Ebenezer.   At the end of my slide show of pictures, the campers and I read aloud a scripture verse that perfectly summarizes our purpose, our motivation, and the direction of our praise.  For we can already testify to the amazing way that He has done far more abundantly beyond what we could've imagined.  And as Warren loves to say, the best is yet to come...


"Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever, Amen."  Ephesians 3:20-21
