On Wednesday, December 18, international students at Livingstone College received Christmas treats from Zion’s International Ministers’ Spouses & Widow(ers) Fellowship of the Sensational Salisbury District. From delectable dishes to residence hall essentials, students were showered with an abundance of love and support from members who are framed in an organization missioned to create positive cultural, intellectual, and spiritual growth, a love of fellowship, and supportive inspiration to challenge persons to excel in their Christian walk.
As the students and members gathered in the Honors Blue Bear Coded Lounge, both began to engage in organic conversations of love and service. Rev. Margaret Anderson shared stories of her undergraduate experience at Livingstone College, and Mrs. Judy Jordan discussed her late husband, Rev. Harold Jordan, who was also a Livingstonian.
Erika Steven of Jamaica said, “I am overjoyed with the consistent support of The A.M.E. Zion churches in Salisbury. They always remember us in very important times, and it simply feels good.” Overwhelmed with the generosity of the members, the international students individually thanked the organization for their thoughtfulness and sincere kindness. The afternoon convened with a collective prayer led by Rev. Margaret Anderson.
