Thank you friends for praying for the party in our home yesterday! We had a great time. It seems like our time together was truly marked with sweet joy. Such a grace from God! We thought guests would arrive around noon or a little after, but instead 8 girls were here at 10:00 am to help prepare food.
It was great that we got to host these friends without having to prepare all the food (just the shortbread cookies, brownies, lemon cake, banana bread!) and it was a special joy sharing the hosting responsibilities with our tutors who were the ones who invited all their friends.
There were 18 guests for lunch and almost all of them stayed till well past dinner time playing games, singing, a little bit of dancing, and lots of nibbling goodies and laughing and fun.
We are asking the Lord to bring move in these friends, to give them hunger to learn more about Christ. But we also don't want them to feel pressure to attend a Christmas event we host, because we've hosted this event for them for their holiday.
Would you ask for wisdom for us as we plan a study for this Christmas season? Perhaps we will have a party with them with celebration and some brief explanation of Christmas earlier in December and then we can invite everyone there to come to a more detailed study of what Christmas is for after that? (We also have to balance what we possibly can do schedule-wise.) We're unsure right now, how this will turn out, but we are eager for the Lord's leading for us and revelation for these precious friends!
Thank you for joining us in prayer!
