This message is a celebratory mixture of the 700th Daily Thunder episode, The Ellerslie Sunday sermon, and the kick-off day for our Fall 2021 5-week training. This is also the very first episode in Eric Ludy’s epic fall Daily Thunder series, entitled “Daring to Do as Stanley Dale”. This series draws on the boldness and bravery of the fearless missionary ventures to Irian Jaya (Papua New Guinea) during the thirty-five years from WW2 up until the massive harvest of souls in the late 1960’s and 70’s. In this episode he explores the way God intentionally builds His men and women for the key swings in history — the key moments in the grand story.  But, God doesn’t just build His heroes to share the Gospel Truth, but He also prepares the lost to respond to the Gospel Truth.
