Our College & Career Christmas Party !

After we knew that Kami was going to be seen locally for the duration of her medical care, I asked our Pastor for some duties to keep me busy.  One of his ideas for us was to start a Wednesday night College & Career class.  It has been fun and such a blessing to not only keep busy in the ministry, but to be able to work with this great group of young people!  (Some of which were in our teen group when I was youth Pastor!)

Here is a glimpse from our Christmas party that we hosted at the church mission's house where we are currently staying!

The Edman family who is working along side of us, helped us to prepare a feast!  
(Nacho Bar, Wings, Pizza Rolls, Veggie Tray and plenty of desserts!)


Of course, we had to have a "dirty Santa" gift exchange! The idea was to not get a "girly" gift!

Like Ben's new ladies' scarf....which surprisingly matched the color of his pants!

Is it really an "exchange" if you steal someone's else's Skeet Clay-Pigeons!
(Yes...with this group you have ammunition, Clay-Pigeons and hunting gloves!)

Everyone made sure to know exactly what had been opened!




Then we broke out the "Headbands" game!  If you have never tried it, it makes for a great game for young people...

And older ones....His card said, "Lightbulb"...We kidded with him that his light bulb finally "went off!"

There was a Ping-Pong Tournament...

And some billiard games as well...the young man in the back is Zak.  He accepted Christ as his Saviour just two weeks ago after our Wednesday night class.   

We praise the Lord for these young people.  It is my prayer and desire to help these young people to love the Lord our God with all their heart, with all their soul, and with all their might!  We look forward to what God is going to do in our hearts and lives for the cause of Christ!
