After college, I reconnected with a childhood friend, Mark Metternich, who I had confided in about my frustrations. He encouraged me to meet a 61-year-old woman in Beaverton whom he admired greatly. Though my past experiences with church and TV evangelists made me hesitant, I decided to go anyway.
What I found in Bettie Mitchel was transformative. Over several months, tentatively, I observed her, unsure if I could trust her. However, I soon realized that she respected and genuinely loved me. She knew things about me that resonated deeply in my soul, and she embraced the journey of my discovery. Bettie became the catalyst that led me into the heart of God and towards a life of service to others.
