One summer I had the joy of traveling with him to the eastern mountains of Tennessee to work with the Headstart program. What a great trip; he cared so much for the children and their families that were living in real tough mountain situations. I then also spent a semester studying Christian Social Action... Dr. Heddendorf was ahead of his time with this class.... nowadays it would be called living missionally. He truly embodied a passion of impacting the world through his teachings. Thanks for reminding me!<br /><br />Kerry SmelserAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1735040292604331611.post-57719827332196400032009-04-28T13:31:00.000-04:002009-04-28T13:31:00.000-04:00Walt,
Your comments were a wonderful tribute to D...Walt,<br /><br />Your comments were a wonderful tribute to Doc Heddendorf, and I couldn't help but relate to you and the similar sentiments that I've had when hearing about a mentor who was influential in my life, passing on to their eternal reward.<br /><br />For me, college was also a time of solidifying my Christian world view, adding the concepts of Christian professors based on Bible doctrine to my knowledge. They not only taught it, but they lived it. So I can identify with your thought of "other people's fingerprints" in shaping my life.<br /><br />Let's hope we can be just as influential to the generation behind us and keep the cycle going. Thanks for your ministry and articulating a Christian view and response to our culture.Steve Miskenoreply@blogger.com
