We just had our 7th Annual Life of Christ Drive-Thru and several thousand people drove through our campus with their families, hot chocolate, and snacks, where they saw 13 live scenes depicting the Life of Christ. It was great! I always get a kick out of the exchange students who want to be a part. Many come from non-Christian homes from Vietnam and other countries so it’s interesting to see how they interact. The Drive-Thru starts with scenes from Isaiah all the way to the resurrection.

Duc is one of our exchange students and comes from a very prominent family in Hanoi. His dad is a leader there. Duc hopes to get into college and my son Ben is trying to help him. I wanted to check on Duc and see how it was coming so I walked into a room where more than a hundred people were waiting to go to their scenes. There was Duc dressed up like a shepherd, or something. Keep in mind his parents are probably officially non-religious.

Bob: Duc who are you in your scene?

Duc: I’m the one who say, "Cwuficy him, Cwucify him!" (he says it loudly shaking his stick.

Bob: That’s good Duc. Your Father would be very proud of you!

Duc: I know. He would! (with a big smile on his face.)

We both died laughing with those around us.
