International Potluck

Every year Asbury Seminary celebrates God's global vision during a week-long Kingdom Conference. Though we have not participated in it much in the past we do look forward to seeing and hearing all about what God is doing around the world. This year our family was asked to represent Hungary during the annual International Potluck (held at the end of the eventful week). We were honored and excited to represent. Viktor prepared a delicious Hungarian dish, we all dressed in our Hungarian attire, and we grabbed the few decorations/books we had on hand to help decorate our table. We were super surprised by the turnout at this great event. If any of you have ever attended a potluck at ATS you know they don't get more than 30, 40 or maybe 50 people in attendance. Boy were we shocked to walk into the cafeteria filled with nearly 400 people, representing 50 nations!! It brought tears to my eyes several times as I reflected on God's glory and the representation in this one room. Asbury really is a special place! :)  We enjoyed visiting with our friends and neighbors from other countries and sharing a little about Hungary, too. The food was delicious. Perhaps the best part was listening to the various choirs that came to share. We heard the Burundi children's choir, Korean choir, Indian choir, and a Ukrainian youth choir. So, so beautiful! Sadly, I only got one picture before the festivities began, but here is one of our family ready for the evening...
