When we joined the Mbale Mission Team, we knew there was a vision of starting a university here in Mbale. It sounded so far off that the vision didn’t seem like a reality at all, just a dream someone had. Perhaps I even doubted that something that huge would ever take place.
Thankfully, God is not allowing my inability to grasp this vision to hinder His work. I have only been in Mbale for a little over five months, and I have already had the opportunity to sit in on a university planning committee, hear the reports of teammates broadcasting the vision to Uganda through a University Debut, enjoy the fruits of teammates casting the vision at the North American Christian Convention, and today walk the future land for LivingStone International University.
Today a crowd gathered to walk the perimeter of the 64 acre plot of land that may very well be the future site of LivingStone. As we walked the land, I began to understand more fully just how big this university project is and how real it is. This is not a passing whim. God is going to establish a Christian University in Mbale. He is preparing to radically reach out to the people of this country. Our God is indeed a mighty God.
I am honored to get to be a part of the work that God is doing here, even if it is just a small part. I picture myself standing in the middle of 64 acres and feeling tiny and insignificant. Then I picture God in the middle of that land, and the land changes drastically. It becomes a place of hope and a place that has the possibility of impacting a nation.
I stand amazed at the ability of our God to dream and accomplish big things. He knows just what to do to reach His people. Today He reminded me that it is ok to dream big dreams. LivingStone International University is great proof of that.
