Christmas Parties celebrate Acts 20:35

During December Lahash friends around the country have been hosting Acts 20:35 parties. These are gatherings intended to blend a passion for East Africa's vulnerable with the celebrations of Christmas.
Advocates, board members, staff, and volunteers have gathered with friends and family to decorate and enjoy cookies and to remember the scriptures of the Christmas story. During the events we also each contribute $20.35 toward the needs of the kids in East Africa and we create Christmas cards!
We have an awesome collection of cards now for the kids!
And some of the cards have been made by kids for kids...
Thanks to everyone who's participated this year in hosting or attending the parties.
Merry Christmas!

A Portrait of Life

On Monday night, Lahash hosted the "A Portrait of Life" presentation. Guests were treated to videos, photos, and stories from Lahash travelers Nate Grubbs, Leisha Adams, and Dana Bertermann highlighting their recent trips to East Africa. You can view Nate's video from Dodoma Here (more videos coming soon).

Nate, Leisha, and Dana all spoke to the amazing sense of peace they felt spending time with the people of East Africa. God is moving with and through His people there, and the sheer joy is evident in each precious face!
