The Fall 2010 SBFM is underway! On Saturday night we piled into a van with our students (we had an overflow car, since 16 students + staff can't legally fit in a 15 passenger van) and headed up to our opening night event.
The spinach dip was awesome, the 36 new DTS student faces were overwhelming, and the worship time was sweet. It was an exciting evening of expressing all of the base's anticipation of what the Lord is going to do in the lives of both the DTS and SBFM students ... and an all around good time!
Then tonight (Sunday) we had a welcome BBQ for the SBFM - my hours spent thawing and marinating chicken in the kitchen at 11pm last night were rewarded when the meal I planned and prepped turned out delicious. It was very gratifying to see how much the students enjoyed it, since I had prepared it all with an aim of blessing them .
Best of all, the evening was full of fellowship and bonding- the students getting to know one another through stories from their widely varied DTS outreach experiences, testimonies of God's work in their lives, and lots of laughter. I loved sitting with them and talking story for a couple hours- it was a great start to the coming few months we will be together...
