Jesus Embassy organized a 'welcome party' for the new batch of students on Saturday the 6th of October. The party which started at 7pm received an overwhelming response. Over 70 students from Nigeria, India, China, Vietnam, Turkey, Malaysia and Russia turned up for the party. Keat Leong and Lily who were the MCs, kick-started the party with an ice breaker. Our guest were required to get to know 5 new friends from different parts of the world, these people enthusiastically got out of their seats to shake new hands and exchange sweet smiles. Ice breaking session was then followed by a very tricky game called "Yes and No", where the interviewee must never ever use the word 'Yes' and 'No' when answering the interviewer's questions. Listening to their answers was really amusing. Our dear guests were also taught to dance to a song called 'The Cannibal King' by Johanan. Chuckles and laughter could be heard as Johanan showed the groovy dance moves. To add to all these, Bollywood actors and actresses from Impressions of God came up with an impressive sketch, about introducing Jesus Embassy and its ministries.

Later on, Kelvin came up and shared some words with the people. The verse he quoted from the bible was very true, 'Mix with the wise,and you will become wise; mix with the fools, and trouble will come upon you'. He mentioned about the importance of making friends and supporting each other in this foreign land. Vinodh, Keat Leong and few others hyped the party up when they started break-dancing, flashing some really bone-breaking cool moves. Towards the end of the party, food was being served. On the menu was delicious-finger-licking-good spicy curry chicken and salad. All was grabbed to the last bit. After dinner, a video-clip of Dennis the leader of Jesus Embassy saying 'priviet' from Malaysia was being showed on screen along with other clips of Jesus Embassy's activities. All the fun, joy and laughter came to a temporary end, when it started to get late. Sad to say it was already 9.30pm.However it is just the beginning of many new friendships and more parties that rock.
