Prepare + Opportunity = Prepartunity
This is an old word coined by Baylor's own Coach Grant Teaff.

As Christians we prepare by prayer, reading God's Word, hiding it in our hearts, and inviting the presence of the Holy Spirit to direct our thoughts, words, and actions each day. Then we are to be on the lookout for the doors God Himself opens up. Especially ones we could have been knocking on for months or years then, one day, when we are not expectant, the door swings wide open, along with our mouths, and we are face to face with an opportunity - a divine appointment to share the Good News of God's Amazing Grace!
In that moment, you realize that preparation pays off. Repetition, note cards, songs to help you remember, word pictures, and most importantly personal experiences or testimonies of faith have been your training ground.
PREPARED
"Be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke, encourage, with great patience and careful instruction." 2 Timothy 4:2
OPPORTUNITY
"Therefore as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers." Galatians 6:10
"Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders, make the most of every opportunity."
Colossians 4:5
"Do not give the devil an opportunity." Ephesians 4:27
