Dear Co-Worker with Christ:
Many of our Co-Workers MISUNDERSTOOD my letter of December
29. Some of them thought I was saying that Christ has called them
to actually stand in a pulpit and preach--or to go out and preach
on street corners, or to preach to every person they see, or to
become a missionary.
But NO!!! I did not mean any of those things.
At first, when letters began coming back to me expressing
this misunderstanding, I was perplexed. I thought I had EXPLAINED
PLAINLY what I meant in my letter. And, on reading it again, SO I
DID--but not near enough to the beginning of my letter.
I'm real sorry if you misunderstood. Let me explain--and
will you keep reading, till you have read EVERY WORD, please?--and
then I'm sure you will understand what I meant.
One woman wrote to me, answering my letter, saying: "Does
this mean I'll get out and preach like you once did? God really
called you--(that's for sure)--and you really got out and preached
His Word. I'll soon be 71 years old. I'm wondering if God wants
an old woman like me to preach. Am I to be a preacher like you?
That's what I want to know."
No, that was not THE WAY I meant. Keep reading, and I will
try to make it PLAIN, this time.
Another woman writes: "I understand that Jesus Christ spoke
to you and called me to preach the Gospel to the world. Does this
mean for me to be a missionary worker? If so please give me your
advice at once what to do as I want to do God's will."
These letters show that these people are willing to do as
God says, even though they misunderstood my letter. God LOVES
these people whose hearts are right toward Him!
I'll quote just part of one more, and then try to EXPLAIN
clearly! A man writes: "But, Sir, here is one thing that bothers
me. How do I preach to 615 people a week? I don't come in contact
with that many. Maybe I could send that many pennies to be able
to pay for some other means of getting God's Gospel out, but, Sir,
