“Raving.” As an adjective, this word is translated as “talking wildly,” “delirious,” and “frenzied.” As an adverb it translates as “furiously or wildly.” We’ve all used this term in phrases like, “he’s raving mad” or “the show got raving reviews.”

Lately I’ve been considering this idea of “raving” as I’ve thinking about my role as a pastor both before I came to NPH and now as I continue to minister here. Before I came to serve Christ here at NPH I would not categorize myself as a “raving fan” of NPH. Don’t get me wrong–the Lillenas Choral Club was a lifesaver in the worship area and I always had a sense of “ease” as a Wesleyan when I ordered WordAction curriculum. But I probably wouldn’t have put those feelings of comfort and ease in a raving category of how I felt about NPH.

I sometimes wonder if you are in the same boat as I once was: comfortable with NPH, but distanced enough to be unaware of all the great ministry tools and resources at your fingertips. I often wonder what it would take to create a movement of “raving NPH fans.” From my vantage point now, as a pastor serving at NPH, I have had the privilege of working with some phenomenal people, have helped to create some transformational resources, and have caught a glimpse of our future (and it is bright!) to be able to say that I am a raving fan of NPH! My only prayer is that somehow, someway we can partner in such a way with you that you too become a “raving fan.”

Maybe you could drop me a line and let me know what it would take to get you to become a “raving fan?”
