A local Christian radio station is having a Father's Day contest, with the winner and nine family members being flown to San Antonio for two nights at a hotel and tickets to various area attractions. I decided to enter my dad, and this is what I wrote (in 50 words or less):
When I tell people that my parents were missionaries, they often ask, What's your dad's name? then shake their head because it's not one they recognize. That's because my dad is not a "look at me" type of person; instead, he is a humble servant who has quietly served in the pastorate at home and in church-planting overseas for over 35 years. A loving dad to three daughters; a faithful husband to one wife; and a counselor, comforter, and friend to many ... for these and many other reasons, I would love for my dad to enjoy this San Antonio reunion.
I love you, Dad!
