Interviews

Ever since about a month or so ago, I've been getting a feeling like I should be interviewing approximately 4 ministry leaders. In no particular order other than numerical, here are some of the people I would like to interview over the course of the semester:

1. JVR - I don't know him very well, but I hear he plays or has played racquetball.
2. Bob Doyle - He gave me a birthday card once, even though he didn't know me very well. And he has played racquetball with me a couple times. Nifty eh?
3. Chris Rohleder - In most ways, he's a much more mature disciple than I am. Chris, start preparing your answers!
4. Brandon Worsham - I hear he might have something to do with FOCUS. Also, if the past is any indication, he has many things he can teach me.
5. Any of the other several people who have been awesome examples and leaders to me. Any of my past corefas and people I worked with at service projects come directly to mind.

Outreach Project

So, Robby had this outreach idea of doing something like hospitality week, only on a more consistent basis. For those of you who are unfamiliar with hospitality week, the idea was for teams of a couple of people to host a dinner for people they don't know very well (or at all), and spend an evening being hospitable. This would include making sure people feel welcome, that food and the likes are prepared timely, that conversation exists, perhaps a few activities are planned for after dinner, etc.

Anyhow, Robby and I intend to have a hospitality night, probably every other week on Fridays. We're not sure on times yet, but obviously it'd have to be before racquetball club (which is 7 - 9 pm). This would be something that people in our respective cores would help with (in terms of helping prepare, inviting people they know/meet, etc). I rather enjoyed the hospitality night I helped Robby and Eric with last semester, as I got to meet some people I didn't know, hang out with some I did know, and it was a unique way of serving people on campus. If all goes well, the first one of these will be some time this month.

I wasn't really going anywhere with that, but it's good to know words, you know? You don't? Oh... :(
