Tonight was our annual Christmas Party for IFO
(International Friendship Organization)
During the year, IFO reaches out to international students in our area helping them to acclimate to life in the US....providing rides, helping get apartments, and meeting with them to practice their English, be their friend. The year culminates in a Christmas party and it is in the one place where IFO sets out to share the gospel of Christ. My church hosts the party and we look forward to it every year!!
This year we fed well over 500 people!!!
It is always amazing to see how God stretches our food!
We even had leftovers that we sent to a local shelter.
We had many countries represented...china, Korea, Iraq, Rwanda, India to name a few. Many of the students are muslim and have never been inside a church.
It was standing room only for the program!
So amazing to see all these people inside our sanctuary! And very cool to hear silent night sung in so many languages at the same time!!!!
But the best part was hearing someone sharing Christ in the hallway!!
What a blessing to be part of this!!!
