Mission

This summer, a handful of young adults from EFCC will be leaving San Diego and heading to the Andhra Pradesh province of India for a three-week, short-term project in July. While there, we will be helping an Indian organization by way of teaching English to college students on campus. These students have joined church planting teams so they can go out all across India to plant churches and assist in certain needs of many different communities (social work). In the first year, the students (called Freshers) come to campus for two months to learn English (by the way, all of their classes are taught only in English), and take other Christian courses as well (i.e., Spiritual Development, Penteteuch, Discipleship, SMS- research & citation, etc). If, after four years, they pass all their classes they will graduate with a degree in either theology or in Christian Studies which will help them in their church planting ventures.

Mark 16:15-- He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation."

Giving our students a taste of America

So today we are preparing to throw the American party of our students' dreams...
Tonight is American Party Night on campus! We have prepped by pre-making some pancakes & Jello (lime and orange of course).  We have syrup for the pancakes as well (can't have pancakes without syrup). We have glow sticks & glow bracelets for each student.  Chris will be leading all of us in some worship music (while playing the guitar plus he'll have a fellow student on the tabla -- which I guess is a music instrument).  We'll be teaching (and learning) the Cha Cha Slide with our students.  And if that isn't enough, the students will be able to try authentic Jelly Bellies for the first time (thanks to Nadia Van Otterloo)! 
We'll do our best to post some after pics so you can see the enjoyment on their smiling faces!

Talk to you soon,
-Tiffany
