Campus Crusade for Christ to Asia
Angie
Zimmerman presented a program on her travels in East Asia. Angie is a
senior at Cornell University, and belongs to a group called Campus Crusade
for Christ. This
group shares Jesus with 20,000 other college students. About $3,000.00 had
to be earned for the 7-week trip. Angie told the club she had to rely on
symbols and a few English signs to get around. Children's day was
celebrated while she was there and kids participated in games and came to
play. Angie thought the most important thing while she was there was
getting to know the people. The dorm rooms were half the size of our
meeting room and 8 people shared a room, but they did not mind because
they are so eager to learn. At mealtime, large bowls of food were on the
table and everyone ate out of the bowls. Angie had her first experience
eating chicken feet, she also said it would be her last. Every day there
were language classes. The same words mean different things depending on
how they were said. Parks in East Asia were well maintained, and there
were lots of neon lights in the city. After coming home, Angie
tried to cook some Asian food with little success. This trip has perked an
interest in international study for Angie. Discussions could be held about
religion, but she was not allowed to preach.
