Birthday Party!

This is Jean Claude (Burundian), Nathaniel (Ethiopian), and Sam (Kenyan). They each celebrated the anniversary of their births last week. I had my homegroup (including them) over to my place in honor of the occasion. Mike and Julius were also in attendance. We had a great time! I fixed lasagne, corn bread, chai, and cupcakes. Nathaniel brought some interesting Ethiopian food - "njera" (a spongy pancake-like bread made from fermented rice) and "T'ibs We't" (a very spicy beef stew). He also sang a worship song for us in Amharic (his language). It was neat to hear him singing worship to our Lord, even though we couldn't actually understand the words! His story of how he came to know the Lord is quite amazing.

One day we will all bend our knee to the Lord in the presence of people from throughout the world - every tribe, every race, and every language!
