One of our strategies in reaching out to international students with the gospel is connecting them with believers. Last Tuesday night, we put together a game night at an American believer's house near UTA. We invited lots of our international friends and ended up with 4 Indian students, 3 Persian students, and one Japanese students. We also had 14 American believers.
We taught the students Phase 10, and they really enjoyed the game! It was fun to see the cross-cultural competitiveness come out from everyone.
The best part about the evening was the fact that relationships were formed between the believers and these international students. I am so excited to see the light shine among these lost friends through these relationships.
"You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let you light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." (Matthew 5:14-16 NIV)
