Honduras or bust

We had our second annual mission's team fundraiser banquet a few weeks ago at Johnson and Wales. This event has turned into such a special evening. It is not only an occassion to raise support for our upcoming mission's trip, but it is also a time for friends and supporters of RUF to come and see the life at JWU. Our campus is such a unique place to house this type of ministry. Most students come with a determined focus and a mapped out plan for a future career in culinary arts. But, that is not all our campus offers surprisingly. There is fashion, hospitality, business, accounting and even sports management to name a few. Yes, they are well known for their culinary arts programs, but this place is so much more. We love ministering here and delight in being able to share it's richness and hidden qualities with the community. Especially those that share a vision with us to see the gospel spread like wildfire there. Thank you to all of you that were able to join us and please continue to pray for this place. Here are a few pictures of the evening. Once again our RUF students pretty much ran the entire evening, using many of the mad skills they have learned here.



Tyler and a few of his buds that came out to support the evening, thanks Adam and Dave.
This is one of our stellar students giving her testimony of what RUF has meant to her over the past year (as Tyler looks on like a proud Father). She is also going with us to Honduras over spring break, along with seven other students, and the four Dirks. The Lord has provided all the funds needed to go and we are so excited to head to La Ceiba in just a few weeks to see what the Lord has for us there. We hope to serve him well and to grow ourselves as we are stretched in another country.

Check out my sassy sidelong glance in the first shot. "I see you, Tyler!"
