Summary: My father built homes and subdivisions - developing areas, buying land, and building houses and roads. He met Mr. Rogers, a fellow businessman, and this man shared the Good News Gospel with my family. I am so grateful he did! My father was passionate for Jesus Christ. He and Mr. Rogers spent their free time sharing the Good News Gospel with everyone around them. In nine summers, my dad and Mr. Rogers planted nine churches in nine towns of Argentina. In all nine of those cities, my dad used his skills and talents and cash to build a chapel, a baptistery, and an outhouse. Yes! My dad was a builder. That was his profession. When he came to know Jesus, he became an evangelist, but he continued his business as a builder. And, he used those talents to glorify God. The churches he built are still standing today, 70 years later! Use everything that God has given you to spread his Good News — your job, your talents, your words. Colossians says, “Whatever you do in word or deed do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus!” You never know the difference that you can make. Just look at how God used Mr. Rogers in my family, and then my dad impacted the lives of so many others. God wants to use you too! Life is short. Today, look for ways to use your gifts to reach your world for Christ.
