So for the rest of this day, I'll be getting texts from 17 other people responding to this prayer request.

Edit: Other than the initial flurry of hearts and replies pictured below, it's actually been pretty quiet, thank goodness.

Cousin. Or rather my wife's cousin. And I know he grew up in an Assembly of God (evangelical) church and I'm pretty sure he's still some kind of evangelical. But at least he's legitimately helping people and not doing the "let's convert the native heathens" thing.

Edit: He's also a big advocate for universal healthcare and spent years working at a free clinic for drug addicts. He's a really good person other than the Evangelical Christian thing. And to his credit, he has never once tried to convert me. I don't know that he knows I'm an atheist, but he definitely knows I'm a Jew.
