Missionary missing

We were planning to have missionary David Gates with us tonight in the church service. I knew David from the church we both grew up in. Sadly, he called a few hours ago to let me know that due to some vehicle trouble, he can't make it. We'll try to reschedule him soon. Since the former pastor of the church here, who usually preaches on Wednesday nights, is also out of town tonight, this means I'm scrambling to get a message ready myself. Thanks to the Lord for already-written messages delivered elsewhere that the people here have never heard!
