The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

1 Thessalonians 5:25, “Brethren, pray for us.”

A few days ago, I mentioned a verse or two that I’ve often

thought of as humorous. The verse above often strikes me

humorously, although it is not intended that way in Scripture.

The Australian Baptist was a national Baptist paper that

circulated in every state and in the Northern Territory. Just

about every meeting I held was mentioned in the Baptist

paper. They would give some information about where the

meetings were being conducted, and a brief bio on me. But,

at the end of every piece there was this verse, “Brethren,

pray for us.” Thankfully, many did and our meetings were

greatly blessed of the LORD. Still, I’ve often wondered how

many who read the paper viewed the verse as an urgent

request, seeing this Yankee evangelist was preaching.

Now, without any sense of humor, please pray for us. We

need your prayers as much as you need to pray. God bless

you abundantly!

Love,

Nana & Dado III
