Two weeks ago, here at Warner Camp, we learned the 6 connections (eye contact, smile, greet, hand, name, ask). Here I am, back at Warner Camp with a different group, putting the 6 connections into action. I memorized the names of 30 people today! For me, that’s miraculous, because I am usually pretty bad about remembering names.
Matt, Josh, Taylor, Keeley, Andrew, Derek, Ben, Brian, the other Ben, Gabe, Gabe 2, Tori, Sami, Brianna, Chloe, Korrine, Aaron, Mark, Morey, Max, Amanda, Dean, Laura, Garth, Jared, Charlie, the tall Charlie, Sam, Nate, Tim
It’s amazing how much more connected I feel with my new friends here just by knowing their names. How do I feel when someone greets me by name? I feel affirmed, known, and connected. I want to give people that same feeling.
Now, if I remember to do the people prayer today, I can pray for each one by name when I see them.
