To Live as Jesus Lived and Love as Jesus Loved
The International Student Fellowship Dinner was held in
Bethel’s Fellowship Hall on Saturday, January 29th from 6-9pm.
Bethel’s Missions Committee organized the event this year
while staying in communication with the ISF office at Case
Western Reserve University. The theme for the dinner was
architecture, and fliers advertising the dinner were emailed to and
distributed around Case. Regina P. headed up the
decorating and was joined in the process by Meredith N and
Chelsea and Polly M. Childcare was provided by Joan W
and her team.
Colors, maps and faces from around the world decorated the
walls to welcome all peoples and cultures to the event. Carol S
and Barb S led a creative event to see what kind of structure
each group would create using things like cardboard boxes,
packing tape, balloons, markers and paper. Everyone had a lot of
fun! Before the craft, God’s truth was briefly shared through some
simple, but entertaining magic tricks. Just before the conclusion
of the night, En, a Chinese graduate student shared her story
about how God had given her hope and purpose in her life after
she learned who He was when she visited Bethel Church with
Marilyn Herget. She encouraged the students to come to Christ
and begin a relationship with the One who would satisfy their
questions with Himself.

Our magician tried some fun tricks– with Ethan as his assistant.
Some of the “magic tricks” were actually object lessons for how Christ died to save us from our sins.
After the magic show, the creative activity was announced. All the students were eager to work with their teams.

After receiving a few basic instructions, the students creativity was let lose. They worked in groups and had fun getting to know one another as they shared ideas and brainstormed about the different structures they aimed to create.
Smiles, laughing, and giggles demonstrated the happy mood of the group.

International Student Potluck
Messy tables produced fantastic creations... Plus a lot of communal fun.
After the creating, the students were able to share their projects with each other.
