A few weeks ago I sent an update and request for my support raising. At that point I was a little under half way to my support goal and starting to feel the pressure. I believe that returning to Uganda to continue working with Engineering Ministries International is where God is leading me. I know that he will provide for whatever I need to make that happen. But often there is a disconnect between what I know and what I truly believe. There is part of me that was uncertain if God would provide in time to return. As a result I was trying hard to do everything that I could to raise as much support as possible.
So as time has been drawing closer to my return date I was getting worried about it not happening in time. When I asked God what I should be doing to raise the remainder of the support, he told me to pray and ask other people to pray. That wasn't the response that I was anticipating. I was expecting that I would need to do something. But God wanted to show me that it is in his control and I needed to stop taking control myself.
So that is what I did and God has been faithful. In the following few days support came in and God has met my monthly budget as well as my initial startup costs. I am blown away at the generosity of God's people and how he uses community to do his work.
So I ask you to join me in thanking and praising God for his provision and desire to grow us through the process.
I am getting excited to be returning to Uganda. I leave Canada on January 1st. Soon I will share some of the things that I am excited about happening when I return.
Blessings,
Matt
