Dial a Prayer


Ralph sends this cool link over. To which gods shall I pray, sahib?
“...Stephanie,” whose real name is Reha Jain, is a Hindu woman who works at a call center in Mumbai and has prayed with “many satisfied prayer customers,” she says. “It’s like my old job at a Microsoft call center. The caller is happy if you deliver quality customer service.” Her fellow worker Rajneesh Tuwalla likewise had never heard of a single U.S. ministry, but was “sick of working at the Sprint call center,” he says. “The customers always got angry about their bill.”Tuwalla landed a job at a prayer center and learned to pray “Christian prayers” by watching Kenneth Copeland.“All the TV preachers pray good, but Copeland prays the best,” says Tuwalla, who mimics Copeland’s style on the phone with callers.Like many service reps, he uses an American name while on the job. In Copeland’s honor, Tuwalla calls himself “Ken.”
