WOW!

Last Sunday, we had our World Outreach Weekend - WOW. Actually, it turned out to be WOW!

Brenda Wahl, from Russia, came and shared. We hosted a Family Fun Night on Friday evening. What a blast! People came in and had to take off their shoes. We provided cheap slippers for the night.

We spread table cloths on the floor, so people had to eat while seated on the floor. A group provided DELICIOUS Indian Tacos - on a donation basis.

Following the meal, Brenda shared a few words from the Bible and we went to 4 different "theme" rooms.

PC - created a New Orleans room complete with laptop slide show quiz. Everyone made Mardi Gras masks and received prizes and beads.

Brenda W. - created a Russia room with lots of games and toys from Russia. She had pictures running on a laptop.

LaVina V. - created a Cambodia room with Cambodian games, food and prizes. She also had a laptop with pictures AND a scrapbook from her recent trip.

The Bonfleurs (Bruce and Marsha) - created a "555 Whiteclay Project" room that highlighted their ministry in Whiteclay, NB. They talked about the Lakota Crafters Initiative - crafts from native people.

We capped off the evening with ice cream and everyone came away with a truly cosmopolitan mission experience.
