Memories of our Christmas outreach party--the best party yet:
-Sitting with a college student who was at the office early. Asking him if he knows what Christmas is about, and getting to tell him.
-The college students dressing up to the Christmas play for everyone. The guy (from a previous post) that was scared to get in front of everyone, had the main role of Joseph! He did great.
-Being in charge of the "Soi Daw" which were stars on a tree. They paid like 15 cents and got a star. Depending on the number in the star, they got various prizes. Such a fun tradition of Thailand.
-Hearing Pat's strong voice inviting everyone to "accept the best gift of all this Christmas."
-Seeing an English student's mom for the first time since coming back to Thailand. She was so excited to see me, she started to cry!
-Many church members came and ALL of them brought neighbors and friends who didn't know Jesus!
-Sitting around kids, teenagers, college students, parents, and older folks all in the same packed church celebrating Jesus!
-After everyone left, our staff got in a prayer circle and praised God for his work that evening in many people's hearts.
-Once I got back home, I got a text message from a friend telling me how she got to share the Christmas story more while on the way home with her friend she had brought!
Praise God! Thanks for the prayers! One more Christmas party tomorrow after church!
