Hospitality is the glue for thriving relationships. 

Each of the students pictured above (except for 2 that returned to their home countries) have continued to be in our lives this semester.  Some are attending Bible studies for the very first time! Bridges and conversations continue…

We just took internationals to a restaurant taste testing. Two years ago we took Shiba. Now she is a young believer and she told me (Mary Kay) last night during our video Face Time Bible study that she had attended a Christian retreat for the first time!

She heard testimonies of other internationals coming to know Jesus.  She now gets up early in the morning to spend time with Jesus, reading His word, and her unbelieving husband is noticing how self-disciplined she has become. 

Her love for Jesus is so evident!
