The Grismore’s Garage

One of the joys of my job is watching the way the Lord weaves together each missionary’s story, background, and gifting to minister to those they serve in their own special way. Our staff’s creativity, compassion, and commitment open doors for the gospel that might otherwise remain closed. This is certainly true for Cadence staff, Dwight and Letty Grismore, who serve near Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio. Their unique gifts are channels of God’s grace and hope, as they shared in a recent letter to supporters:

“Grismore’s Garage has been busy! One of our airmen melted down a piston on his engine and didn’t have the funds to pay for a shop to fix it. The estimate was around $4,000! I (Dwight) told him that if he was willing to help, we could get a lower-mile engine and do the swap in our garage. Letty supplied us with food and coffee while we worked to get the old engine out and the new one installed. We had a good time wrenching together and had some great conversations as we worked. This also opened the opportunity to perform six oil changes and add several more friends to our Bible study group.”

God’s good design in each of us is a powerful expression of His grace and love as we allow Him to use our gifts and skills, passions and hobbies. God has created each of us uniquely and calls us to participate in the good works He prepared in advance for us to do (Ephesians 2:10). Your participation in this ministry makes the gospel tangible to servicemembers through missionaries like Dwight and Letty every day.

By His grace,

Dave Hutchings, President
