Fall 2006 – VIDEO AND PICS – Imagine coming to a new country with nothing but your suitcases, knowing no one…  It is hard… Through the Big Howdy events in August we helped to make the transition a little bit easier, sharing Christ’s love.

It seems that as soon as we got back from Japan, it was time to dive in with both feet into Big Howdy welcome events at UTA. This has been a fruitful fall ministry season for us. This year our colleague Ron did a great job coordinating the Big Howdy welcome party, attended by around 400 students this year. We gave away a great goody bag to new students containing a Jesus DVD, a CD on “How to Survive in the USA,” and other items of interest. We also did numerous airport pickups, helped with the annual care-a-van ministry taking students shopping at Walmart to get items for setting up their dorms, and the annual garage sale offering second-hand items cheaply to students.
