International Student Ministry Weekend Oct. 11-12


International students and their families from Memorial Lutheran, Ames and Iowa State University enjoyed a weekend of events hosted by St. Paul Lutheran Church.  Mrs. Bessie Fick, Memorial Lutheran's Coordinator for International Student Ministry, and her husband Jeff, accompanied the visitors to Ida Grove.

Saturday we visited Mission Central, enjoyed lunch and relaxation at Crawford Creek, toured the Battle Hill Museum, watched soybean harvesting at the Don Schultz farm, stopped at Hultgren Implement to see farm equipment up close, toured GOMACO Trolley and stopped at Lake LaJune to enjoy the beauty of a wonderful fall day before heading back to church for an evening of food and fellowship.

 
   
   
   
   
   
   


Our international guests spent the night with host families and then returned on Sunday morning to attend fellowship hour and church services. Our new friends introduced themselves and told about their respective countries (China, Korea, Taiwan and Chile), businesses and families during the Bible Study hour and also introduced themselves after the Sunday morning church services.  It was an awesome weekend that provided Christian friendship to our international visitors.  We're looking forward to next year!!
