Jeff and Deborah Climie used their son AJ’s first birthday party to draw some of their unsaved Dominican friends together. They invited three families—all with children between 11 and 12 months of age—to celebrate AJ’s birthday. They often invite families to their home, but usually the people never show up. This time, all the families came.
They planned age-appropriate activities for the children, and the parents participated and got involved. One father commented that he felt his son most likely enjoyed himself more at AJ’s party than he did at his own! Pray that the Climies will continue to establish friendships with these families.
