The Seeds of Possibility

Today the men stayed at Ebenezer Baptist Church for a Pastor's Conference and the women and girls went to visit Ebenezer Christian School.  In both locations, we spent the day cultivating relationships.  Pastor Eric brought an incredible word to encourage pastors from Mbale and the surrounding mountain region.  It was such a great time of discipleship and fellowship.  At the school, the women and girls attended classes to observe and encourage the incredible teachers and their students.  The P3 class was learning about the germination of seeds into plants, and tonight some of our girls even came back to the hotel with homework!!  The men joined the women in the afternoon to lead a sports camp with soccer, volleyball, games, and lots of giggles.  All around the property playing were church members and students of Ebenezer, as well as many small children from the surrounding village.  These children are mesmerized to see a white person, much less shake hands and greet one.  Most speak no English, but that didn't stop anyone from enjoying our time together.  All this in front of a back drop of a school in operation, with one building and 2 temporary classrooms, dormitories, farmland, and another wing of the building halfway through construction.  So many seeds of possibility, we cannot wait to see what--and who--the Lord will grow up out of this fertile ground.
