Ahh the joys of leaders’ meetings. Due to a huge phase that our church is going to embark on, we are canceling our leaders’ meetings for the next four months or so. This saddens me greatly since I really love my leaders and all the enthusiasm they bring to the ministry. For instance, yesterday we spent a good 6 hours watching a video about outreach. After the video ended, Rob asked me to shoot a video about what the people of Kaneohe think about Hope Chapel. Luckily Peter agreed to come with me and become my cameraman/interviewer (we switched off). It was fun even though there weren’t too many people out in the shopping center at 9:45pm. We did interview several people so I hope it comes out.

However, the real joy of the night happened during our meeting. The first hour of the meeting we had some business stuff to take care of, but the second half was all about making phone calls. Since we have our Mexican night coming up this Saturday we did a phone drive. It started rather simply since we all just called our MiniChurches first. After that we just took our database list and did some cold calls. For most people this isn’t too fun since not everyone likes callng people that they do not know. This applies to Keao more than most. I know she doesn’t like calling people just in general (I know this because she was making phone calls right next to me and she kept muttering under her breath “please don’t pick up, please don’t pick up”). But on the last call of the night (maybe her life) we had a winner.

I asked her to call this one person (because I thought he’d be pretty stoked if a girl called him) and like a nice girl she did. But the strange thing is she didn’t. She actually misdialed the number and called the wrong person. Of course we could only hear her side of the conversation, but it was pretty funny. She apparently called some dude named Roger by mistake. Now the great thing about this is that she was an answer to prayer! Apparently ol’ Roger had been praying that he would meet a nice girl and guess what? A nice girl just called out of the blue! What are the odds I ask? Probably pretty slim. Man, that God sure does have a sense of humor (luckily we did too). I truly hope that Roger shows up this weekend and gets a chance to meet his “answered prayers”.

Oh and I must remember to remind Keao to make sure she calls the original person tomorrow…
