30 Days of Prayer, Day 9: Giving Update and Prayer of Thanksgiving!

Luke 6:38 “Give, and it will be given to you. They will pour into your lap a good measure—pressed down, shaken together, and running over. For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return.”

What an amazing week! Just days into our campaign and we have already raised close to 20% of our goal of $200,000 for the construction of church building for Ebenezer. In addition to that, donors and friends of Mission Mbale have raised nearly half the funds needed to purchase a bus for Ebenezer’s school. Having this vehicle will allow the children to be moved from the temporary tent where they live to the new school site in Namabasa—permanent dormitories in real actual buildings! The school construction is nearing completion and we are hopeful that Ebenezer Christian School will be opening in the next year! So many of you are hearing the call of the Holy Spirit to give, and in your obedience, blessings overflow!
And this is just the beginning! Sunday’s message from Pastor Jimmy Patterson was powerful and encouraging. I am so grateful for the way that he really shared his heart for this church build project, his love for the people of Ebenezer, and the beautiful way these efforts are an extension of our church’s desire to be obedient to God’s call for racial unity through the blood of Jesus. It was just the right message for the people of FBC and incredibly encouraging for our Ebenezer church family, as they watched via live-stream from Uganda! Pressed down, shaken together and running over, for sure!

Heavenly Father, we praise You for the promises of Your word. We are thankful that You do not hold back Your blessings—they are poured out in abundance. We are so grateful to You for the gifts that have been given for Ebenezer. We trust in Your perfect provision and Your timing, and we give You all the praise and glory for Your wonderful works and Your everlasting love! Amen.
