June will mark four years since we watched God miraculously make provisions to complete a six-month quest for the first piece of property that we were able to help Ebenezer Baptist Church in Mbale, Uganda acquire. And if we are to be totally honest, it was ALL that we had intended to do ... not because we didn't want to continue serving God but mainly for the reason that we honestly didn't understand how we could be of further use to Him in that area of the world!!!

BUT, God had different plans and today, although we still struggle with the "understanding" part, we are so amazingly blessed that HE is so much bigger than our inadequacies. What an awesome journey this continues to be and our fears have turned to expectant anticipation as we realize without ANY doubts that HE IS MORE THAN ENOUGH!!!

As we approach this huge milestone we will be sharing often of the many things that God is doing, but today we just wanted to share a little of our heart that is so full of gratitude and give you a glimpse of why we have chosen to stay the course.

People often ask us what it is that strengthens and enables us to continue in an ever-expanding ministry to the precious people who live in this filthy, smelly place known as the Namatala Slum! There is only one way to answer them and this is it ... we move forward in faith, a deep and abiding faith that is grounded in the fact that God has met EVERY need we have encountered in the past 4 1/2 years with overflowing sufficiency!!!

His faithfulness alone during this time provides ALL the peace and assurance that we need to continue the journey!!! It has also given us the ability to accept the fact that "understanding that we don't have to understand" is perfectly OK!!! WHY? Because He is good and HIS ways are ALWAYS PERFECT!!!

Thanks to each of you for your continued faithfulness to stand with us in ministry in so many ways but most importantly, through your "effectual, fervent prayers"! YOU ARE LOVED!!!

"And God is able to make ALL grace abound to you, so that having ALL suffiency in ALL things, at ALL times, you may abound in EVERY good work!" 2 Corinthians 9:8

ALL FOR HIS GLORY!

Warren and Mary Faye and the entire Mission Mbale family!!
