Summit Team Visit in August

What a blessing and a joy it was to have this team visit us from the Summit, our home church in North Carolina.

They helped us follow up with the students who attended the Connexion Conference.

Actually they did anything we asked them to do.

Most of all they just loved on us.

The whole gang with our regular students

During the time they were here the Muslim community was observing Ramadan...which is a religious feast where they observe fasting for the month of August from sunrise to sunset.  Late afternoon food markets set up around town and they have delicious Malaysian food.  We were fortunate enough to have a Ramadan market just a short trek down the street from us.  So we enjoyed some delicious food

They, also, joined us at our weekly ConneXion activities....we ate, played games, listened to a message from Daniel

 Wendy (in red and Daniel’s wife) had a blast playing the games....and she LIKES to WIN!!!

 The balloons were attached to our ankles and we had to burst each other’s balloons

 It seems like we were always eating.  This is an outing on Sunday with some local students from Cornerstone Baptist Church....one of the churches we partner with here in KL

 banana leaf eating...Indian food

 Of course, the food is eaten with hands....so,yes, we did!

 The banana leaf was our plate

 Folding the leaf over indicates you are finished

 A trip to another country is not complete without sightseeing:

 These coconuts were used in some sort of ceremony, the insides were on fire, then they were taken and thrown into this huge concrete vat and broken
