The banquet on Friday was a HUGE success!! Thank you to everyone who has prayed, donated, planned and prepared for this amazing celebration. We shared a meal together, then the kids played carnival-style games. Afterward, we all walked across the street to a new theater and watched TOY STORY 3 while enjoying popcorn and Fanta! Keep in mind that for many of these kids, this was the first time they've ever done anything like this before. Everyone had a blast!
The highlight for me was meeting a little girl name Frishta (which means Angel in Kurdish). She is the sister of Mohammed Star, one of the boys who went to surgery this past year. A smile and a wave, a few pictures together, and we were inseperable for the remainder of the banquet. What a precious little girl... created in the image of God and for His glory!

That's awesome! So glad you got to be there. I can't believe there is a movie theater!
A face and a name to bring home with you. I love it. : ) I'm sure she's not the only one. Can't wait to hear more...
