2011 Everett Family Day Report
Everett Family day went really
well for BEBF. At the booth we try to cover a few different things.
As a club, we are interested in sharing what we do and how a person (Boeing or
non-Boeing) can be involved. In addition to that, we hand out Bibles and
offer a craft. Our strategy is to make our booth the happening place
where people hang out long enough to find out what we are about and discover
the wonderful opportunity to have God’s word, for themselves, hopefully in
their native tongue.
For crafts, this year I lucked out to have half
a table on one end of an L configuration. From opening to closing time
we were swamped with kids who wanted to make a little lanyard of pony beads
and plastic cording. The lanyard is to be a prayer reminder, because
“...we are all God’s children and he loves to hear from His kids."
Our hope is that while the kids are busy crafting,
the parents have a chance to talk to one of us about BEBF. It seemed
that every time I had a chance to look up that all of our booth folks were
engaged in conversation. Many parents hung out with the kids and were
never talked to.
There was a moment, early on, where I felt prompted
to ask a parent what languages he spoke. When he said, “Chinese” I
volunteered that the man at the end of our tables was handing out Chinese
Bibles; his eyes lit up and he acted on the information. It was so
busy that I didn’t get the chance to say much more than craft instructions
all day. We could have used several more adults to share at the craft
area.
When the day was over, we were
all excited about how well it had gone. We bubbled with ideas for
the future. “Wow, wouldn’t it be great if we had another two people?
Amazingly, 6 was not enough.” “I’d like to see some prayer
ministry here. Someone who has a heart to pray with others who can offer
that service to anyone who comes by - now that can make an immediate
difference in someone’s life right then and there.”
It is a fun time together and in His service.
If you are interested in participating as a booth representative in the
future, contact our BEBF President, Hank
Myers.

The
BEBF club
display at the
2011 Everett
"Family Day" event truly was honored
by
the Lord.
This
experience really blessed me in several ways:
First,
we
were blessed with the opportunity
to
give away a total of 815 Bibles
which went to Boeing employees
and their guests. Second,
the
enormous amount of people that stopped at our
display to see what we had to offer.
Many
of them were surprised that we were giving out
the Bibles
for free;
also some of them were amazed that we were able
to share Christian
materials at a Boeing event. There
were other faiths represented as well.
I had a great conversation with a young guy and
his two female friends about how much they
appreciated what we were doing there in the name
of the Lord, and these were not employees! I
talked to a lady that worked for Boeing of
Portland and she expressed how much she
appreciated what we were doing.
The
craft that Jen shared with the kids was a big
hit and attracted a lot of people to stop at our
display. We could definitely have used two more
people at the crafts table talking to parents
and friends who waited for their children to
finish their craft. Otherwise, we had
plenty of help with the display handing out
bookmarks with our club info and
scripture.
We
were very busy the
entire
6 hours, 9 a.m.
- 3 p.m.,
even with 6 of us working the display tables.
It was announced that there was a record
attendance of over 30,000 at the Everett Family
Day event.
God
Bless You

BEBF
Welcomes International Business Partners and
Associates to the USA
Are you in the Puget Sound as a member of a Global Partner Team, or are you an international guest, and you have business with Boeing, and you will be here for awhile? Perhaps you know someone who is?
The Boeing Employees Bible Fellowship (BEBF) welcomes our international friends to Boeing! We want to provide a warm, friendly welcome for you as our guest in America's Pacific Northwest. We hope that you will take advantage of the many opportunities for friendship partners and outings with Americans.
We are so pleased to participate in cultural exchange opportunities with our special international guests who are in our neighborhood. We are cooperating with several organizations in the area that have ongoing gatherings and special events for welcoming international guests and introducing them to Northwest living. Several of these associations provide relaxed, fun settings for practicing the English language. We hope that you will give us a chance to get to know more about you and your culture, and we hope to help you learn more about the American way of life.
It is our heartfelt wish that you will get to know our website and find out more about how we can serve you. If there is any way that we can help you feel more at home here, let us know.

English Conversation Classes
Conversation Partners - With a view toward helping international students achieve academic milestones, we offer connections with conversation partners to assist in overcoming the real hurdle that English poses along the way. Conversation partners also provide a way to develop friendships through weekly times of English conversation between native speakers and international students.
Contact Jeff Nelson at isiwa@comcast.net
Friendship Partners - Friendships develop through monthly meetings inside or outside an American home, with weekly phone or email contact made between the Americans and the international students.
Contact Simon Zeigler at isiseattle@aol.com
Professional Partners - another way to develop friendships is through Americans mentoring international students who are preparing to enter the same profession. They meet each other on or off the job site.
Contact Simon Zeigler at isiseattle@aol.com
Talk Time
Locations and contacts
- Friendships develop through weekly
meetings, usually at a church facility, using a
one-on-one or small group table-top discussion
format (e.g., www.speechtree.com)
