The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Psalm 31:2-3, “Incline Thine ear to me, rescue me quickly; Be Thou to me a rock of strength, A stronghold to save me. 3 For Thou art my rock and my fortress; For Thy name’s sake Thou wilt lead me and guide me.”

The rescue of the Thai soccer team and their coach is reason to praise the LORD. Although a worldwide effort was convened to humanly assist the rescue, it was the LORD who held back the waters that were feared would come and make it impossible to save their lives.

We are prone to praise what we see; but so often what we do not see is where the praise is due. The LORD alone knows how many Christian believers prayed for the trapped boys. The LORD alone knows how many of the boys looked beyond themselves for hope. We have received no word on the demeanor of the boys, as days went by. Surely, they were scared. Did anyone even know where they were? We may never know these things. What we do know is that the prayers of believers touched the heart of God. He alone is to be praised!

The most important factor, however, is that thousands of young people throughout the world need to be spiritually rescued. The LORD has revealed Himself to every one (read Romans 1:19, “… that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them”). Still, thousands die daily without the LORD, which is far worse than being trapped for weeks in a cave. Who do you know that doesn’t know Jesus? Are you thinking about them? Are you praying for them?

I’ve previously told you about Amber, the Chinese lady who trusted Christ via Skype. The message I sent to her, I am attaching with this letter. I want to challenge you to send it to friends you know who do not know Jesus Christ. Remember, they are trapped in sin and desperately need rescuing! Send them a note (“I’ve been thinking about you and praying that you may come to know Jesus.). Be a partner in their rescue! Someone shared Jesus with you. Now, it’s your turn to share Him with someone else. God bless you!

We’re praying daily for you, and we’ll be praying for your friends,

Nana & Dado III
