To get to know them better, we wanted some insight into what leaders enjoy when they’re not busy serving our com- munity. That’s why Good News Wants to Know… If you were gifted two tickets to any event or attraction of your choice, what would it be? I’d like to take my daughter and wife to a concert or a Marlins/Yankee game. Bill Hobbs, Director, Urban Youth Impact Two tickets to see the Masters in Au- gusta for the week. I love playing golf and visiting Bobbie Jones’ dream course would be a real treat. On my bucket list for sure. Andy Mitchell, President/ CEO, The Fairwinds Group My preferred event or attraction would be to head out west to Texas and at- tend a Dallas Cowboys home game in AT&T Stadium. I have been star struck as far back as an eleven year old kid. Bernard King, Pastor, Cornerstone Bible Fellowship Amonth ago I would have responded that I would like to see “Wicked” yet again or go to the Country MusicAwards, but after being at the Chris Tomlin concert, meeting him and seeing his heart for orphans, I would like to have two tickets, up front, to another Chris Tomlin concert. William C. Davell, Director, Tripp Scott Attorneys at Law We'd hope those two tickets would be to a Weezer concert. My wife, Dani, and I are fans and would love to do some 'My Name Is Jonas...' screaming together. Bob Denison, President, Denison Yacht Sales If he was still alive, I would love to see Johnny Cash in a small, intimate venue. Charles Bender, Founder/CEO, Place of Hope I would like to get backstage tickets to Charlie Hall, my favorite musician, for my wife and me. William “Chip” McCulloch, Co-owner and Partner, Highland Wireless Since I go to so many Marlins games and have been to a Super Bowl, NBA and NHL games and playoffs, sporting events are not that big of a deal anymore, and I’m not a big concert guy at all. I’ve seen my share of Broadway shows, so to be honest, I think that I would go for a weekend retreat with my wife at the Cove in North Carolina. To spend a weekend in the NC mountains with my wife getting refreshed would be great! Chris Lane, President , First Priority of South Florida As a child I was inspired to be an astronaut by the space program and my dad's training fighter pilots in WWII. However, I was told women weren't allowed to do that sort of thing. Sally Ride is my age, and she was the first to break the glass stratosphere along with seven others who followed her. Now the stars are the limit for women, so I would like round trip tickets to the moon or beyond. Who else wants to go with me? Deborah Cusick, intervarsity Christian Fellowship FAU Campus Volunteer It has been my lifelong desire to travel to Israel and take a Christian-history tour. I would so love my husband and I to do this together, especially with some treasured friends I have in mind, and led by one of a number of friends that are experts in Christian history, specifically in the land of Israel. Dolores King-St. George, Station Manager, WRMB 89.3 Moody Radio A Miami Hurricanes or Miami Heat game. (My wife calls me her Renais- sance Man) Doug Sauder, Pastor, Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale I would likely choose the Miami Hurricanes football team playing in the national championship. The excitement around such an event would be hard to turn down! Fred Scarbrough, DVM, Founder, Scarbrough Animal Hospital and Hope South Florida I would enjoy two tickets to the Masters Golf Tournament. This is the toughest ticket in sports, and the golf course is quite the sight to behold in springtime during the annual golf tournament. George R. Moraitis, Jr., Moraitis, Cofar, Karney, Moraitis & Quailey It is an honor to be a part of the Luis Palau National Women's Prayer Team, and for the last three years we have been praying for revival in Africa. They are now preparing the way for an evangelistic outreach uniting the churches in Abidjian (population 7 million). Two tickets plane tickets for my husband and I to attend and join the team on behalf of Love Côte d'Ivoire with Andrew Palau and the har- vest movement in February 2019 would be a memory of a lifetime. Gita Santangelo, Community Prayer Partner The ultimate choice for me would be tickets to attend a seminar where Abraham Lincoln was the keynote speaker. It would be fascinating to hear how he navi- gated the country through the most difficult time and yet managed to reunite it with his outstanding leadership and vision. Gregg Wallick, President/CEO, Best Roofing My wish would be for two tickets to an Earth, Wind and Fire concert. My fa- vorite band… Gregg D. Sjoquist, Wasie Foundation My ultimate wish list sporting event would be to attend a World Cup final with Colombia hoisting the trophy at the end of the match! John Novoa, Financial Associate, Southeast Region, Thrivent Financial ® I would want to go to the Summer Olympics in Tokyo. I went to the Summer Olympics with my husband in 1996 and loved seeing the world come together. Julie Mullins, Pastor, Christ Fellowship I’d love tickets to the “Backstage Magic” tour at Disney World to learn how every- thing operates behind the scenes. I’d also love to go on the “culture tour” at Chick- fil-A in Atlanta someday.
