The Reverend Jack Van Impe has REACHED OUT!

For a very long time my father has talked about the Reverend Jack Van Impe, and how he changes peoples' lives through his televangelism. I largely ignored him, since he does tend to elaborate when telling stories, and I couldn't imagine anything that strange being real. Then one night, after spending 10 hours in the emergency department only to come home hopped up on Zofran and unable to sleep, I turned on the television, and found the Reverend Jack Van Impe and his lovely wife on my screen. I seriously thought I was either hallucinating or it was an incredibly funny SNL skit. Either way, strange. But no, it turned out that Zofran doesn't make you imagine elaborate infomercials, and SNL isn't really funny. The Reverend Jack Van Impe is very real.

For a while after discovering that my father wasn't lying about the hilarity of the Reverend Jack Van Impe's broadcasts (they really are funny, seriously, you should be on the lookout for them!) I forgot all about him, and his lovely wife. And then, inside a box of books I bid for and won on ebay, I found this:
I am so touched. The Reverend Jack Van Impe has reached out, TO ME!! He wants me to pray for the millions of lost people, pray for his ministry team, and mostly pray that God's people provide the financial resources necessary to meet the needs of the ministry this very summer! I am honored. Thank you Reverend Jack Van Impe, for believing that I am not one of the lost ones, and that I have the power to change things through prayer (and a hefty donation to your ministry.) It really means a lot. I'll start praying for you just as soon as I finish bidding on my latest box of cheezy romance novels!
