Most Welcome

You will not find a more joyful welcome this side of Heaven than right here at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Mbale, Uganda.  A little rain and mud could not dampen the spirits of those who received us today.  “You are most welcome!” they say as we squeal together, hugging and kissing hello.  It is the best kind of family reunion.  Honestly, I’ve never felt more welcome anywhere else. 

That welcoming, that greeting, that joy is a gift from the Lord.  He is our perfect creator and sustainer, and He goes before us every step, preparing the way.  We can trust Him completely with the future because He is already there.  The people of Ebenezer live in the abundance of this truth, and it lovingly overflows into the slum village of Namatala and into the hearts of everyone they greet.  There is no doubt:  We are most welcome.
