To Answer a Question

A prudent question is one-half of wisdom. ~ Francis Bacon

A wise man will make more opportunities than he finds.  ~ Francis Bacon


To go to heaven, fully to enjoy God, is infinitely better than the most pleasant accommodations here. ~ Jonathan Edwards
 ..yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. ~ James 4:14

 What can we do?

It was a question asked by a handful of people sitting around a table late one night.  The question was directed at the desire to see children hear the Gospel of Jesus, children that have not had that opportunity. We sat around that table and batted around a lot of ideas and methods, trying to come to terms with all of our desires.  A couple of important ideas came out of that meeting.

First, WE must DO something.  We would not be satisfied with just sitting around and wishing that something could have been done. And second, God was clearly opening a door for us to minister to children on His behalf and He was calling US to action.  After that meeting we resolved to work together to ascertain God's will for us and this new direction.  That night, Grace Giving International launched and we have been running full speed ahead.

Please keep checking back in on us to see how we are answering the question, 'What could be?'

For Grace Giving,

Patrick
