Andrew Gets Interviewed
I have joined the interview meme. For those of you unfamiliar with this trend that has been sweeping the blogging world (at least, it has been sweeping the blogs I read), it goes something like this: someone asks five questions, which you post along with tour answers to said questions. You then offer to interview five other bloggers, taking the first five who leave requests in your comment section. You then post your questions on your blog, and link to their answers.
Today I am responding to the questions put to me by Scott over at To Give an Answer.
1. How were you first introduced to Brazil as a mission field?
By a missionary slide presentation when I was 10 years old. (Remember slides? They are what we used before Power Point.) Anyway, for some reason I never forgot that presentation. When I was seventeen, I went to Brazil and spent two months with that missionary. I was never the same after that.
2. What currently living person do you think has had the greatest influence on fundamentalism or conservative evangelicalism?
Are you trying to get me in trouble?
3. Do you think that blogging itself can be an effective tool for evangelism? Why or why not?
"Effective" is a hard word to define. I think that bloggers can glorify God by their blogging, and that God can definitely use the testimony of bloggers to bring someone to Himself. I do feel that many times bloggers are "preaching to the choir", but not always.
4. What is the worst and what is the best aspect of life in Brazil?
Worst: The tremendous gap that exists between the haves and the have-nots in Brazil.
Best: The ease with which Brazilians develop friendships is amazing. American Christians could learn much from them.
5. If you were to die tomorrow, what three things do you hope would be said about you in your eulogy?
"He never gave up."
"The world is a better place because he was here."
"He consistently pointed people to Christ."
**So there you have it. Does anybody want to submit to a "Comings Communiqué" interview? If so, leave a request in the comment section of this post. First five takers will be interviewed.
Update: Apparently I didn't read the question right. Scott just pointed out that I was supposed to come up with THREE things to be said at my eulogy. My ammended answer is above.

so do you make up your own questions? and do they have to be hard thought provoking ones or just about anything? cuz i might would participate but I don't know what you would ask...

I'll consider it - but I think it depends on your questions... ;-)

Not a prob. :-P
Good answers, BTW. I forgot to mention in my first comment.

Hey, you cheated. I asked what three things you would want said in your eulogy. You only gave one. :-P ;-)
Oh, BTW, I wasn't trying to get you in trouble with question two. After all, nobody ever, ever gets riled up over personalities in our circles, right? ;-) (J/K, of course.)
