Please visit his blog to see what is going on in Orissa, the work he is doing, and how you can help. The photos on this blog show the devastation caused by people who oppose the work that Christians are doing in this region.

TIF Creative Art Workshop Photos
This weekend, TIF held the first of two Creative Art workshops in Tenth's catacombs. We had a great time creating artwork, talking, laughing, and sharing fellowship. One of the attendees has not yet been to a Tenth Sunday service, but walked out with some Tenth materials so hopefully that day will come in time!
Our teacher, Jesse White, explaining our writing practice. We wrote for five minutes on anything that came to mind without editing ourselves. Jesse mentioned that this is a good activity for everyone to practice daily. A few people chose to share what they wrote.
After writing, we moved on to collaging. We cut out pictures, colors, textures and shapes from magazines and decorative papers. Then we glued them in different patterns on paper, and had the option of using oil pastels to add to the design.
Though some of us weren't so sure about our creative abilities, and many of us hadn't done any artwork in a long time, we all produced beautiful, colorful works of art that everyone appreciated.
At least one of us is so gifted she had time to create two masterpieces!
Our last stop was the painting station, where we used a special kind of opaque water color paints to paint anything we wanted! Again, we all created unique works of art and enjoyed
sharing them with the group.
It was an afternoon well spent!
Join us for the next workshop, coming soon!

The Bible
Any thinking person who reads the Bible is going to come across parts that seem confusing, disturbing, or downright offensive. With this comes a temptation to pick and choose which parts of the Bible we are going to believe or accept, and which we are going to write off as not applicable for whatever invented reason.

Penn Latin and Ballroom Dance Fall Ball
From Arthur Lim, Social Outings Coordinator for PLBD:
Greetings Fellow Dancers,
We will have our Fall Ball this Saturday, November 8th. For those of you who are new, here are the answers to some frequently asked questions about this event.
What is the Fall Ball? The Fall Ball is the once-a-semester SOCIAL event on campus organized by our club, the Penn Latin & Ballroom Dance Club. It is NOT a competition or a test of how well you dance. The only thing that matters is that you are interested in dancing. This event will be a good opportunity for you to meet and socialize with others who share the same interest. We don't even care if you haven't learned how to dance yet since there will be a beginner lesson during the first hour of the ball.
Do I need a partner? NO ONE is expected to come with a partner. In the past, 99.9% of those who attended did NOT come with a partner. Try to meet as many new people as you can. Remember, this event only takes place ONCE A SEMESTER.
How should I dress for the ball? Just try to dress as nicely as possible. There is definitely no need to get a new or special outfit though.
Will there be salsa dancing at this event? Although we will definitely have salsa, bachata, and merengue dancing, we will also be playing music for the other ballroom dances (waltz, tango, foxtrot etc.) You are NOT expected to know all these dances though.
Here are the details:
What: Fall Ball
When: Saturday, Nov. 8th
Where: Houston Hall's Bodek Lounge
3417 Spruce Street - Across Hospital of UPenn
Philadelphia, PA 19104
Time: FREE dance lesson from 7 PM to 8 PM
Social dancing from 8 PM to 11:30 PM
Admission: $5 with a student ID; $10 for everyone else
Feel free to let me know if you have any questions or suggestions. Happy dancing!

And the new believers rejoice in the Lord.
