Even an iPhone can be used as a ministry opportunity. Waiting for our flight in the Denver airport, Wendell and I were simply playing on our phones when Mr. Faye walked up. He was a young lawyer right out of law school, on his way to Montana to decide whether or not to represent a client. He asked us if we’d help him out by searching for an AT&T store near his destination. That morning he’d lost his own iPhone in San Francisco. Turns out, we were able to assist him in finding a location to replace his phone after landing. We sympathized with him by lending an ear to listen and understand him in his predicament.
After helping out Mr. Faye, it was time to board our flight so we said goodbye and headed to the terminal. Turns out our flight was delayed.. again. We were waiting in line when Mr. Faye walked up again. He asked us who we were and where we were going. This became an opportunity for us to tell him what the ICC was all about and explain the importance and impact of communication in our culture. Because we had already helped him, he gave us an open ear and listened intently to our cause. Being a lawyer he agreed with our idea of communication and said he would check out our website.
I see this as the perfect example of the message Mrs. Moon has been sharing with thousands of students for over a decade: people don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care. Period.

That’s really neat that you were able to talk to Mr. Faye again. Keep up the good work guys!
