SMU/NUS Students Goodbye Party...SUSHI!!!!











Being that the semester is coming to an end, this past Monday night, November 17th, we hosted a sushi party for the outgoing exchange students of SMU and NUS, on the seventh floor of the Jacob Ballas Centre. The evening was a resounding success, with thirty five students attending. The sushi was specially prepared by a renowned sushi chef from the Singapore Hilton. We all enjoyed ourselves immensely, and the party continued late into the night.......We'll really miss you guys, make sure to keep in touch!!

Sunday Funday-Abraham's Tent!!













This past Sunday the children in our community were treated to a fun filled day in Abraham's Tent!!! After eating lunch, the kids were invited into the tent by Abraham himself to witness his hospitality toward the three angels. Next, they proceeded to roll their own pita bread, which they got to take home at the end of the day! After a movie that they watched in the tent, the children got busy with some exciting arts and crafts projects. Then some more fun games, and a special story by master storyteller Tami!!
