This past week we celebrated the dorm, House of One Heart (BJD)'s 15 year anniversary. It was great to see the generations of students who lived in the dorm in the past return to celebrate the work God has done in their lives. At one point a speaker asked those in the audience to raise their hand if they first heard of Christ at the dorm. Many hands went up. Praise God! Now, many alumni are involved in different areas of ministry, some are staff at the dorm, others work to share the gospel with kids in the slums, and one guy is the pastor of a church. We give God all the glory for the lives changed!
While the celebration was great, the preparation was just as much fun. Here are some pictures:
We cut leaves and reeds from around the dorm, washed them, and de-thorned roses for decorating the entry way.
The students decorated like professionals. It came out beautiful!
Cooking was a giant job as well...
The celebration wouldn't have been complete without a cake (well, maybe it would have, but we enjoyed the cake anyway)...
and the smear-icing-on-everyone's-face-fight between all the students at the end of the night. :)
