Friday Night Fellowship (November 30)

For our final Friday Night Fellowship with the students, we had everyone over to our house for a night of games. We started on the roof with a time of singing together, and then we played several games. Here you are seeing the men and women preparing to go head-to-head in a game of Send the Message.


The next game required the students to search through the rooms of our house, looking for small packages on which was written the clues needed to complete a puzzle. It was fun to see them running up and down our stairs, digging through our rooms, and hurrying to be the first to find all of the packages. Here you are seeing several of our students writing down the clue from one of the packages they found in our guest bedroom.


After the game, we located all of the packages, and they were used as an illustration for Tiffany’s message about entering the Christmas season. Each package contained a character from our Nativity set, and as we talked about them, one by one the students came to carefully place their character in our manger scene.


It was a great night of fun, and as we shared a treat together, Tiffany and Zanda paused to take this picture together.


It was interesting to see how our Khmer students placed all of the characters closely encircling the Baby Jesus in the manger. We often have then traveling toward the stable, but our students placed them in a tight circle, all adoring their Messiah.

Isaiah 9:6 (NIV)
For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

God’s blessings to you all,
Tim and Tiffany Gallant
