Lost in Translation

We just returned from helping with our international dinner at church. Ah yes, it brings back good memories of working with international students. Holly and I did the children's program for kids Kindergarten through 3rd grade. It went pretty well--we had eleven kids.

Our church's motto, "Reaching Ames to Reach the World," is being realized through our international ministry. How else can you gain access to the creme of the creme of students from around the globe? They are usually open to the gospel too. They know that the U.S. is "successful," and they wonder why. Many of them think that all Americans are Christians (If only that were true!), so they visit churches looking for what makes our country great. They hear about Jesus Christ, and some of them respond in faith to His offer of eternal life. They later return to their countries to spread that Good News around the world. Now that's exciting!
