Thank you so much joining us in prayer for for UT’s Thanksgiving outreach, Friends-for-Dinner. The program was a great success, and UT Bridges is planning on doing it again next year. Here is some feedback from international students and hosts:
- It went great! We all had such a fun time and they want to come back over again. They kept saying they felt like they were with family. We may try to host them again over Christmas break. I’ll see if they’d like to attend a Christmas Eve service if they’re in town that week. Thanks for giving us this opportunity!
- Me and my friend really enjoyed yesterday’s dinner. Our host, and her daughter hosted us very well. Also the host’s friends treated us very warmly.
- As me (visiting scholar from Taiwan) and my friend (visiting scholar from India) here, we really experienced American hospitality and felt like home yesterday.
- Here is the verse that I think of you, and I believe what your organization doing is so meaningful for many people: “Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.”-Hebrews 13:2 NIV. May God’s peace and grace be with you.
- We had a wonderful Thanksgiving day. Here are a few pictures. We plan to see them again when they return from India over the holidays. Thank you for entrusting us with this opportunity to love on these sweet girls.
- It was great! The hosts were so kind and wonderful. I invited a Chinese PhD student as the other guest. He gave the hosts Schezwan sauce for the turkey and I gave them some Indian sweets. The food was all home cooked and delicious. The student I brought along also had a lot of questions about Christianity.
The Lord answered so many prayers for this event!
