Why I Serve - Bob McHone

Bob McHone joined ACC’s Board of Directors in 2002 after serving on the Advisory Council. “I first heard about Associates in Christian Counseling 5 or 6 years ago,” he shared. “I was having lunch with a friend, Bill Brown, who was serving on the Board at that time.”

The more Bob learned about the ministry, the more he wanted to do something to help promote it. “Having worked in radio and other media, I was able to use my experience to write and voice the early radio commercials which were aired on WBFJ,” stated McHone. It was a privilege to be able to use my talents to contribute in this way.”

When reflecting on the impact ACC is having on our community, Bob talked specifically about those who suffer from depression, stress, and low self-esteem. “Since I have struggled personally with these issues, I recognize the value of Christian counseling,” he said. “I believe that those whom ACC serves receive a double benefit—they are cared for by a professionally-trained staff and introduced to the comfort of God’s love at the same time.”

McHone’s desire is that ACC become more known in our community through both advertising and word of mouth. Bob’s late wife, Jeanette, worked as a wound care therapist and believed greatly in comforting those who struggle to heal. “We need people to know that ACC is a comforting place, a safe place, a place where hurting people will have time to heal.”

Mr. McHone concluded by saying that he considers it an honor to serve on the Board of this ministry. “Under the guidance and fine leadership of Dr. Joe Verga, and with a caring and loving staff of Christians, Associates in Christian Counseling is dedicated and committed to seeing ‘that no one misses the grace of God.’”
