HCC Programming

Every year the HCC community puts on hundreds of events. From day trips to Friendship Meals, it takes a lot of resources to engage with our international friends.

TESTIMONIES

“The first time I went to HCC was to attend the weekend hiking. I felt that the volunteers were very friendly and enthusiastic. While living here, I felt the devotion and sincerity of Christians, and I felt the power of faith. I will try my best to help more people in the future.”
----------------------

“I feel unfamiliar when I first came here, especially the language, but people were so kind that I relaxed a lot. My first experience with HCC was airport pick-up, I was picked up by Ms. Phyllis Ose, she was very nice and introduced Minnesota to me. I didn’t know much about Christianity before I came here, but I found Christians are very kind and helpful.”
----------------------

“I felt Minnesota Nice when (I arrived in) MN. People here are so nice to foreigners. I like the rivers and ice fishing. The difficulty is the weather here is much colder than that in my home town and the snow season lasts for a very long time. The first time I joined HCC is the pumpkin carving during Halloween. I had lots of fun to be with both Chinese and American friends.”

“You are all very friendly, I feel comfortable, not lonely when I have you around.”

“I was confused and tired for a while (when I arrived in MN), but after attending several friendship meals in HCC, I got my passion back!”

“When I first came to Minneapolis, everything was new to me. The people here are nice and hospitable but it is hard to meet local people and communicate with them at first. Things get better later on with continuous involvement with HCC.”
