MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM THE EBENEZER BAPTIST FAMILY IN MBALE!

"For to us a child is born, to us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder, And His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government, and of peace there will be no end, on the throne of David and over His kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time forth and forevermore." Isaiah 9: 6-7

It is our prayer that the joy and peace that is talked about in the above verses will find a resting place in your hearts during this Christmas season.  Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all that each of you have done to make 2018 and incredibly unforgettable year!!  May the love of Christ fill your homes and your lives throughout the coming year and we look forward to celebrating the Lord's goodness in even greater ways with each of you as God continues the work which HE is doing in Mbale, Uganda.

We received this Christmas Card from Pastor Fred this afternoon and he asked me to share it with the Mission Mbale Family. Merry Christmas!!!

ALL FOR HIS GLORY!!

Warren and Mary Faye and the entire Mission Mbale Family

ONE CHILD AT A TIME ... GIVE THE LIFE-CHANGING GIFT OF AN EDUCATION THIS CHRISTMAS!!!

"But my life is worth nothing to me unless I use it for finishing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus ... the work of telling others the Good News about the wonderful grace of God."  Acts 20:24

WHAT IS THE GREATEST WAY TO IMPACT A CHILD'S LIFE IN MBALE?  This is the question that we get asked over and over again by those who sponsor children through our Child Sponsorship Program (more information about this can be found by clicking here: Child Sponsorship Link) and from those just wanting to know how to come along side of the ministry in transforming lives of the children who live in the Namatala Slum.  The answer to that question is reflected over and over in the letters that the children write to their sponsors as most of them are very intentional in thanking their sponsor for helping them be able to consistently attend school!

As this year draws to a close you have a unique opportunity to help provide the children who will be attending the inaugural classes of Primary 1-4 of Ebenezer Christian School the gift of a fully furnished school.  The building will be finished, the desks are purchased and on site, the school administrator is at work bringing in the best teachers and your year-end gift to Mission Mbale will help purchase chalk, text books, pencils and other miscellaneous school supplies. 






BUT the greatest gift that your donations will provide will be the gift of Education because a majority of the children who will be attending Ebenezer Christian School are orphans or from very needy households.  These are children who without our help would not have an opportunity to even attend school!!!  So in essence your gifts are truly providing that "future and hope" that God's Word promises that He wants for His children in Jeremiah 29:11

Thanks to each and every one who has chosen to walk with us in ministry to the precious children of Mbale in 2018!!!  It has been a truly unbelievable year and we give ALL the glory to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords!!!  May you and yours experience HIS joy during this beautiful season!!  MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM THE MISSION MBALE FAMILY!!! 

The following pictures are of Ebenezer Christian School which will open for Grades 1-4 on February 7, 2018! It is hard to believe that in July 2017 plans for this school were still nestled away in our "long-range" plans...BUT God had different plans.  Celebrate with us during this Christmas season the endless supply of God's love and goodness as this school will provide for the children of the Namatala Slum an opportunity that many of them would have never had...A QUALITY, CHRIST-CENTERED EDUCATION!!!!

  

 

These pictures are from the Honors Day Program that the leadership of Ebenezer Baptist hosted last week for the children of Ebenezer to recognize them for their excellent work during the 2017 School Year.  Most of our students at Ebenezer Baptist ranked at the top of their classes in the government schools they attended last year. They have begun their long mid-year break and when school resumes on February 7, 2019, many of these students will be a part of the inaugural classes of Ebenezer Christian School!!!
