Jesus, food, community.

One thing we all have in common is food.
In North America, we usually all eat 21 meals a week. Couldn't we share more of these meals together in a way that builds friendships and community? We've been inviting people over for meals several times per week and it's been a great experience.

Last night we had 16 people over for Thanksgiving dinner. We had students from India, UAE, Africa, China, and Germany at the table with us (not to mention many Canadians)! We talked about why God exhorts us to give thanks, we read the first part of Psalm 103, and took turns sharing about what we're thankful for.
Some students at the table were not Christians and we had the pleasure of talking a little about faith with them.

Pray for those we meet and invite for dinners. Pray for our students to be hospitable to their peers and to shine the light of Christ in word and deed.
