International Thanksgiving Banquet - November 21, 2009

We had another VERY successful banquet this year. In the last few years, we have had 80-85 people. This year, we had just over 100. It was great to see so many students.

This is clearly the biggest event we do all year. It is where we put so much effort. Why? It is the greatest chance we have to share the Gospel to this many students. Christmas and Easter are other great opportunities, but there are not many students on campus during those holidays.

This year, on Thanksgiving Day, we were blessed to have Richard join us. We went to a friend's house for lunch, then to Carlita's parent's home for dinner. It's the first time we ate two meals on the Day, and we were stuffed. Richard had a great time and it helped him feel part of a family.

Richard is a Christian from Ghana. He is new to campus this year, but is already planning to be instrumental in the growth of our ministry in the future. He comes from a strong background, so we are looking for ways to use him to grow our outreach. Look to hear great things about him in the very near future.
