The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Luke 21:13, “It will lead to an opportunity for your testimony.”

Opportunities are always important. For one thing, it means

yhat you are important to someone. No one offers an opportunity

to someone they don’t like or to someone they believe to be

incompetent to the task. Thus, it is a complement to be wanted.

Every opportunity also is an opening for your testimony. There

sre some things I am not competent to do. But, don’t tell me

I can’t, because I won’t accept that. Any opportunity offered

me is an opportunity for me to share Christ. Even those

things I did not personally want to do, I found He could do

through me. I only had to be available.

Honestly, as I think of it, I have always sought to undertake

everything that crossed my path. I was invited and took on

a radio program that turned into six stations in four different

countries. I’ve accepted invitations to speak that led to an

around-the-world evangelistic tour that led to a week’s meeting

in the largest evangelical church in Europe. The editor of an

expanding Christian newspaper gave me the opportunity to

become a writer, which I did until the death of the editor. In

Australia, my radio interviews led to television opportunities,

one station in Victoria offering me a regular weekly program.

Don’t be afraid of opportunities! You never know where they

will lead. And whether they are for an extended period or a

one-time occasion, they are “an opportunity for your testimony”;

and they just might open doors you didn’t even know were there.

Love and prayers,

Nana & Dado III
