Newsletter: Volume Three - Summer Edition, July/August/September 2019 Oakland Athletics Hire Five Brand New Greeters Robert and Trevor flew up to the Bay Area near the end of August to meet with the retail departments of the Oakland Athletics and the San Francisco 49ers. They hoped to convince these teams to hire Greeters they recruited from the Down Syndrome Connection of the Bay Area and the Silicon Valley Down Syndrome Network.
They prayed for God’s favor prior to meeting with the A's Director of Guest Services. Afterwards she said, “I think the work you are doing is incredibly important and a true testament to the loving relationship you and Trevor share!”
She gave them a behind the scenes tour of Oakland-Alameda Coliseum + tickets to that night’s A’s vs. Yankees game! (Robert and Trevor have been to two Yankees games this year, neither of them at Angel Stadium.) They set up interview appointments for the next day between the DGS and the 5 Greeter candidates they had recruited.
They prayed that the Athletics would hire at least one Greeter and they ended up hiring all five: Dania, Marissa, Daniel, Matt and Christian! Tears of joy from Greeters, parents, Trevor and Robert after every interview.
There are only 12 regular season games left in 2019, and so the A’s are going to fast-track approval processes so the Greeters can work the last two home stands in September. The DGS said, “I believe this is the beginning of a wonderful collaboration between the Oakland A’s and Angels for Higher!”
49ers Hire Two Greeters
Robert and Trevor prayed for God’s favor prior to meeting with the 49ers at Levi's Stadium on Thursday afternoon. The General Manager of their retail operations liked what Angels for Higher was doing, but she was unsure if they needed a Greeter.
Just then, a guy shopping in their Team Store said, “Trevor, what are you doing here?” It turned out that Michael was in town on business, had some free time and decided to visit the huge 49ers Team Store. He recognized Trevor from interactions with him at Honda Center. The GM agreed to schedule interview appointments for the next day.
Robert and Trevor hoped that the 49ers would hire at least one Greeter and they ended up hiring two—one for their main store and one for their upstairs store! Trevor, Matt and Christian took a photo outside the stadium that looks like an album cover for some indie-rock group.
God has engineered Divine Appointments with people who knew Trevor in Cincinnati, New York, and now San Francisco that have helped inspire team executives to incorporate Angels for Higher's program at their venues.
"Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen!” (Ephesians 3:20-21) Trevor On The Cover
