Set the Tone of Generosity with Testimony
“We were fed, spiritually and physically, and left with ideas and enthusiasm, and ready to take action.”
– Jeanine Wang, Stewardship Chair, Court Street UMC, 2018 Participant
Dr. Saul Ebema currently serves as the Senior Pastor of Lombard Bible Church, a member of the Christian & Missionary Alliance. After fleeing Sudan on a harrowing journey to South Africa, Saul attended the Baptist Convention College in Soweto and received his undergraduate degree. Saul came to the United States after receiving a presidential scholarship in 2005 to attend Northern Seminary. He graduated with both Masters of Divinity and Doctorate in Ministry degrees. Pastor Saul lives in Lombard with his family and loves to play soccer.
Generosity in churches flows from a culture of being in mission together and feeling part of something bigger than yourself, but often local church cultures are held back by distractions and a lack of hope. Dr. Saul Ebema named some of the obstacles to help us overcome them and move on in our churches to change and action! (Download MP3)
