“Me kuke ɗokin yi? Tambayar kenan. Da sunan Allah me kuke kwadayin yi? …Dole ku zama masu ƙwazo da ƙarfafawa domin matasa suna buƙatar masu ba da shawara, kuma majami'u suna buƙatar annabawa, kuma duniya tana buƙatar ku.

Saƙon rufewa yana kira NOACers su 'zama shakatawa' na duniya, ba wai kawai neman nasu wartsakewa a cikin coci ba.

Ko da yake ya ɗan yi dariya ta wajen tunanin amsoshin tambayar nan “Sa’ad da ’yan’uwa biyu ko uku suka taru, me kuke tsammani suke yi?” a wasan nunin Iyali Feud – rera waƙoƙin yabo, yiwa wasu hidima, da amsa lamba ɗaya (ding, ding, ding) cin ice cream!)–Kurt Borgmann bai gamsu da barin NOAC ta ƙare ba kawai ta hanyar bikin raba abubuwa masu kyau.

Da yake lura cewa Kiristoci da yawa suna tunanin cewa “manufa ta farko na coci ita ce mu ba kanmu abinci da abinci,” ya tuna wa masu bauta wa NOAC a safiyar ƙarshe na taron cewa ’yan’uwa za su iya yin abin da ya fi haka kuma sau da yawa.

Yawancin Kiristoci na zamani suna duba coci don abin da suka samu daga cikinta. "Shin jiran wartsakewar mu ya zama tsarin mu?" Borgmann yayi mamaki. "Wataƙila coci ya kamata ya yi kama da zamantakewar ice cream kuma ya zama kamar sandwich ga marasa gida." Da yake ambaton kiran da Ishaya ya yi ga aminci da almajiranci ya ce, “Kuna son wartsake? Ka daina jira a layi da kwanonka kuma ka ɗauki leda don yin hidima!”

Tambaya, "Da sunan Allah, me kuke ɗokin yi?" ya ba da labari game da kungiyar matasan Manchester da suka dawo daga wani taron karawa juna sani na zama dan kasa na Kirista a New York da Washington, DC, inda suka kuduri aniyar rage sawun Cocin nasu. Da farko sun cire firjin da ba kasafai ake amfani da shi ba a cikin azuzuwan matasa. Sai suka ba da shawarar cewa cocin ya shuka ciyawa a wani yanki na lawn da ke kusa da ginin cocin.

A ƙarshe ya yi tambaya, “Wane abin shakatawa kuka shirya don ba da duniya? Kuna son sabuntawa? To me kuke jira?"
