20 questions with dehonians
Favorite color? What makes you happy? What are you good at? What is your greatest fear…
“Twenty Questions” is a regular feature in which SCJs and those with whom they minister and collaborate share a bit about themselves in an informal Q&A. Participants are given the same list of questions and are invited to answer as many as they would like.
