14. What is your favorite memory about another CHBC staff member?
We were making calls to every household in Snyder to find out if they went to church anywhere and then to ask if they had a prayer request. I dialed a number and went through my presentation. The lady on the phone said she was an atheist. I tried not to act surprised and went on with the call. I said I respected her choice and thanked her for her time, but asked her if she had a concern that we might pray about for her. She said we could pray for her mother. I asked what her mother’s name was because I like to pray specifically for people, and she told me the name of our CHBC Ministry Assistant Jeanie Rice’s mother who was in the hospital. For the first time, I realized I had been talking with Jeanie and hadn’t even known it. She had thought I knew who it was and was giving her a hard time, but I never had a clue.
