International Women's Day Home Party #2

A Night to Remember

When Florence, an immigrant from Rwanda, decided to host a special outreach dinner party for young African women at her home on International Women’s Day, she wasn’t sure what kind of response to expect. But when 27 guests accepted the invitation, she knew she’d made the right decision.

““It’s not about how you look on the outside,” explained Nadia, a former Muslim who immigrated to Canada as a refugee at 14. “We will all get old and beauty doesn’t last. It’s about finding the One who made you and loves you and makes you complete. Jesus can take all your pain and give you good things instead. He is the friend you need.”

Later in the evening, when a gospel presentation was given, two guests indicated decisions for Jesus. Four days later, Florence was thrilled when two more women accepted Christ.

Overjoyed at the fruit she is seeing, Florence has since decided to start a Bible study where seekers can learn more and new believers can be grounded in their faith.



Florence and Casey Drent opened her home to host IWD 2007 in her place of worship which is her beautifully decorated basement. Young single women from Ethiopia, Kenya, Sierra Leone, Ghana, Kelowna, India, Rwanda and Canada came on 10 March.
