International Dinners
6:30 - 7:30 pm
Monday · Wednesday · Friday
dinner · talk · interview
A space to think more about the big themes of Truth, Identity and Assurance, and how these apply to our own different backgrounds, over a home-cooked meal, with a short talk and interview.
We’ll be hosted by Josh Bell who’ll be helping us unpack these ideas and also interviewing our guests about their experiences too. Originally from Zimbabwe, Joshua Bell now lives with his wife and two kids in Cambridge, where he works with Friends International in Cambridge to befriend internationals and introduce them to Jesus. He loves early mornings, squash and fires.
