A Bigger Mission
I’m Joni Eareckson Tada, and my husband’s got the heart of an evangelist. Back when I was undergoing cancer treatment, Ken considered it a chance to talk about Christ. What could have been a bad experience, turned instead into a mini-mission. Whenever we were in the hospital, Ken would write down names and email addresses of technicians, head nurses, doctors. Now, sure, it was helpful to have their contact info, but all those names became a prayer list, and we continue to pray for those people, even now, writing notes with updates and scriptures. All of it took the focus off my treatment and placed it, instead, on others’ need for salvation. And that is a lesson for you the next time you have a scary medical diagnosis. Turn it into an opportunity to advance Christ’s kingdom. It’s a way of doing everything – even your medical treatment – to the glory of God! I’m Joni Eareckson Tada.
