[NBC] I Met Chetin Basaran
Posted by: davepear <davepear@...>
Forgive the lag in posting, but I have to tell you about my experience
meeting Chetin Basaran and his family. THE nicest group of folks you could
ever hope to meet! Chetin and his fam are on the Outer Banks of NC, as many
of you know, and it happens that he isn't too far from where I'm stationed
in Virginia. I happened to have a power amp collecting dust in my garage
that I was led to donate to the cause. He is starting an outreach band, and
I'm psyched for him and his mates and the opportunity for them to minister
to others 'in the world'. Not an easy task, but from my experience in
chatting with him for an hour or two, he's just the man for it. He and his
wife Jill were kind enough to send me home with THE most
INCREDIBLE!!!!!(!!!!!) Turkish sweets, including Baklava (melt in your
mouth) and Turkish Delight. Hey Chetin- what was that cool white
chesse-looking stuff that was actually finely-spun candy (which ROCKED!!)?
Thank you so much for a great day- it really made my day and my week to meet
with and talk to a like-minded believer. It's been very dry in this part of
Virginia. Work is very lonely (one other believer) for fellowship and
there's a weird vibe in the music team of the church I just joined. It was
very refreshing to meet you and your wonderful family. Say hi to Zu-Zu and
the rest!
BTW, is anyone else in the Tidewater area of Virginia? I'd love to meet
with some more CBers!!
God bless,
