During the times when a person is not needed in the studio, there is always a phone in the phone room that is waiting. Of course, we also use these days as an opportunity for our Area Representatives to meet with their supervisors or have a meal with a good friend with whom they have exchanged Emails throughout the year. Ideas and tips are shared and friendships are strengthened. Receipting goes on, mailing lists are updated, the web site is maintained, and equipment is maintained. Area Representatives keep watch on their local radio stations and a staff works hard to get the letters and envelopes out to new contributors.
Email continues to come in, as do messages from the web, and of course, seed packet requests.
It is always thrilling, though, when God gives the victory, as He did this week. It is interesting to see how people are using the seed packets . This listener in Sharpsburg, NC has requested many of them and has found many ways to distribute the cards and packets. I go to church with a gentleman who visits the prison once a month. I speak with for the day.
