Raving Fans

I first bumped into Topher when he managed a link to our Children's Chapel on a text-only free-net, back in the days before there was a web. I'll never forget the day he challenged me to create a web page. I told him he was nuts. Undaunted, he said nothing but sent me to an award-winning web site, which, after much digging, I discovered had been created by a 12-year-old. I said to myself, "If that kid can do that, I certainly can, too!" The rest is history. Topher patiently mentored me, pointing me to learning tools, helping me whenever I got stumped, prodding and encouraging me to keep doing better. Topher's nudging launched us into a massive Internet ministry which continues to this day.
