And God, He's really a God of

And we celebrate what He's doing
today.

47
00:04:34,820 --> 00:04:37,900
Not only what He's done in our
hearts through salvation, but

48
00:04:37,900 --> 00:04:41,100
what He's calling us to do to go
out wherever He'll call us and

49
00:04:41,100 --> 00:04:43,100
says we continue and worship.
Let's lift him.

00:04:43,260 --> 00:04:58,540

00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:28,720
stand upon your name and keep my
eyes above the waves.

54
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:35,800
When oceans rise, my soul will
rest in your embrace.

00:07:52,710 --> 00:07:57,270
take me deep.
Deeper than my feet could ever

65
00:07:57,310 --> 00:08:01,110
wander.
And my faith will be made

66
00:08:01,110 --> 00:08:08,550

Savior spirit.

And take me deeper than my feet
could ever wander, and my faith

00:08:30,850 --> 00:08:36,890
will be made stronger in the
presence of my Savior.

And that mission is to see
people far from God discover

156

Jesus and man.

a word next week.
And that's because we get to

163
00:19:53,850 --> 00:19:56,610
experience and see and hear all
that God did through our

164
00:19:56,610 --> 00:20:00,610
Columbia Missions team.
And then not only that, man, we

165
00:20:00,650 --> 00:20:03,170
get to experience that as well
because they really are just an

166
00:20:03,170 --> 00:20:07,530
extension of our church.
So come on, get excited.

167
00:20:07,530 --> 00:20:09,690
We're going to kick this off
with the Mission strip video.

168
00:23:51,730 --> 00:24:01,670
It.
Was, I think his first real life

169
00:24:01,670 --> 00:24:03,630
video.
So nice work, Coleman.

170
00:24:03,630 --> 00:24:05,110
Yeah, let's give it up for
Coleman.

171
00:24:06,050 --> 00:24:07,730
Love to see people jumping in
and using their gifts.

172
00:24:07,730 --> 00:24:09,170
Hola.
Buenos Dias.

173
00:24:09,170 --> 00:24:11,570
See, you may have noticed a few
different things.

174
00:24:11,570 --> 00:24:14,890
I've got my friends over here
nodding gracious graciously.

175
00:24:14,890 --> 00:24:18,530
I can't say English words now,
but man, today is a really

176
00:24:18,530 --> 00:24:21,930
special day in our house as we
are getting to share and

177
00:24:21,930 --> 00:24:25,250
celebrate about all that God did
through our team in Bogota,

178
00:24:25,250 --> 00:24:27,930
Colombia.
A lot of people ask us why

179
00:24:27,930 --> 00:24:29,890
missions.
You know why global missions.

180
00:24:29,890 --> 00:24:33,010
And I can say today without a
doubt that missions is God's

181
00:24:33,010 --> 00:24:35,610
idea.
It wasn't real life's idea and

182
00:24:35,610 --> 00:24:38,090
as.
Believers, we are charged with

183
00:24:38,090 --> 00:24:43,090
following God's command to go.
It actually says in Mark 1615.

184
00:24:43,690 --> 00:24:46,730
Gee, he said to them that's
Jesus is telling them what to

185
00:24:46,730 --> 00:24:50,850
do, go into all the world and
preach the gospel to all

186
00:24:50,930 --> 00:24:53,010
creation.
So that doesn't leave us a lot

187
00:24:53,010 --> 00:24:56,170
of other options, right?
Go everywhere, tell everyone

188
00:24:56,170 --> 00:24:58,330
about Jesus.
And so that's why the heart

189
00:24:58,330 --> 00:25:00,210
behind why go?
Why do missions?

190
00:25:00,650 --> 00:25:02,850
Because God asked us to, because
we have the hope of the world

191
00:25:02,850 --> 00:25:04,770
and we get to share that
wherever we go.

192
00:25:05,170 --> 00:25:08,490
And so our team was actually
sent out as an extension of real

193
00:25:08,490 --> 00:25:10,610
life church.
You guys prayed over us as we

194
00:25:10,610 --> 00:25:12,090
went.
So many of you prayed for us

195
00:25:12,090 --> 00:25:14,410
while we were there.
Some of you have given, you've

196
00:25:14,530 --> 00:25:17,210
prayed for, you've encouraged,
you've sent us notes and all

197
00:25:17,210 --> 00:25:20,130
those things.
So we went as real life across

198
00:25:20,450 --> 00:25:23,290
not the whole world, but across
this part of the world down to

199
00:25:23,410 --> 00:25:25,610
Bogota.
And so while we were there, we

200
00:25:25,610 --> 00:25:28,130
were able to encourage, we were
able to support.

201
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:32,840
We invited, we cleaned, we
painted, we taught, we

202
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,240
connected, we served.
And I can tell you that our team

203
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:38,160
truly made a difference in the
lives of those partners that we

204
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,680
have there.
But it's significant, and you

205
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:46,160
will see today that God also set
out to do a work not just

206
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:50,480
through each of us, but inside
of each of us as we went on this

207
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,040
trip.
And so it was very early on

208
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:56,960
August 5th, very early, that our
team of nine from real life

209
00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,320
embarked on a journey to Bogota,
Colombia, which is in South

210
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:04,280
America to connect to the heart
of God and going to all the

211
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:06,160
world.
So while we were there, we

212
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:10,080
connected with Hugo and Uliana
at the Discipleship Training

213
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:13,800
School for young adults.
We encouraged Frank and Andrea

214
00:26:14,120 --> 00:26:17,400
new Church planters in the
Normandy region of Bogota.

215
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,800
We jumped in and worked
alongside with Rodrigo and Olga

216
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,160
at the man.
On a soccer project and served

217
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:26,760
with Viviana and Juan at the
Mana School Project in Verbenal

218
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:30,080
on the north side of Bogota.
So today you're going to hear

219
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:33,040
stories about all of those
ministries that we experienced

220
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:34,640
that you just saw a little sneak
peek of.

221
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,680
You're going to hear about how
they touch the heart of each of

222
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,360
the members of our team today,
because today there's not a

223
00:26:40,360 --> 00:26:43,680
message.
Today they are the message what

224
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:45,840
God did through them and what
they're going to share with you

225
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,290
because of that.
But you're also going to hear

226
00:26:48,290 --> 00:26:52,050
stories of each person on our
team answering this question.

227
00:26:52,170 --> 00:26:56,530
God, in light of what I've seen
and experienced, what are you

228
00:26:56,570 --> 00:27:00,570
asking me to do?
And I do know that today many of

229
00:27:00,570 --> 00:27:03,850
you are going to be challenged
to ask that same question.

230
00:27:03,930 --> 00:27:07,490
God, what will you have me do
today because of what I've seen

231
00:27:07,490 --> 00:27:10,860
and I've heard?
And so in my story, for me, one

232
00:27:10,860 --> 00:27:15,380
of the most powerful things that
I saw God do was to unite a room

233
00:27:15,380 --> 00:27:19,220
of Christian leaders and pastors
from Bogota, from real life,

234
00:27:19,220 --> 00:27:23,300
from manna worldwide together
through their common bond of

235
00:27:23,300 --> 00:27:26,020
ministry, a call of God on their
life and their heart to reach

236
00:27:26,020 --> 00:27:29,180
their city, their country, their
area, whatever God's called them

237
00:27:29,180 --> 00:27:32,340
to with the gospel.
And so on Wednesday afternoon of

238
00:27:32,340 --> 00:27:34,980
our trip, while we were sitting
at the training and discipleship

239
00:27:34,980 --> 00:27:36,900
school, we were actually sitting
in a room.

240
00:27:36,900 --> 00:27:40,820
It was very powerful where so
many young people make decisions

241
00:27:40,820 --> 00:27:43,100
about their life.
Are they going to follow God?

242
00:27:43,100 --> 00:27:45,980
What is God calling them to do,
to give up, to lean into?

243
00:27:46,020 --> 00:27:49,700
And so it was a special place to
sit and connect with these area

244
00:27:49,700 --> 00:27:52,500
pastors and leaders.
And we're sitting in that room

245
00:27:52,500 --> 00:27:55,140
where they have made huge
decisions for Christ.

246
00:27:55,140 --> 00:27:58,220
And together we dove into God's
Word.

247
00:27:58,460 --> 00:28:00,660
And then we connected in small
groups and courage.

248
00:28:00,740 --> 00:28:04,140
Reaching one another, realizing
that the struggles that we have

249
00:28:04,140 --> 00:28:07,660
in ministry and in the Christian
life, they kind of transcend

250
00:28:07,660 --> 00:28:10,220
language, they transcend
culture, they transcend

251
00:28:10,220 --> 00:28:12,980
location.
And that we're all as believers

252
00:28:12,980 --> 00:28:15,900
united in one front.
And so we see a picture here of

253
00:28:15,900 --> 00:28:18,380
some of those leaders.
This is a couple.

254
00:28:18,500 --> 00:28:20,780
This is Scott Hudgens in the
middle who led our trip.

255
00:28:20,780 --> 00:28:24,740
This is Harold and Deanita who
are two of the leaders at the

256
00:28:24,740 --> 00:28:27,060
discipleship school that are
just awesome people.

257
00:28:27,060 --> 00:28:29,380
Sean has actually Sean met
Harold.

258
00:28:29,810 --> 00:28:32,650
In 2013, when he first went to
Colombia.

259
00:28:32,650 --> 00:28:34,770
So he has been a part of this
ministry and pouring in the

260
00:28:34,770 --> 00:28:36,210
lives of people for so many
years.

261
00:28:36,210 --> 00:28:39,690
So to sit down and hear his
heart, he's actually in seminary

262
00:28:39,690 --> 00:28:42,770
now and getting to share with
what God is doing in him through

263
00:28:42,770 --> 00:28:44,890
this ministry is just really
powerful.

264
00:28:45,710 --> 00:28:48,230
But one of the most powerful
moments for me was that Hugo and

265
00:28:48,230 --> 00:28:51,590
Uliana are in a little bit of a
transition with what God has for

266
00:28:51,590 --> 00:28:55,110
the school.
And so I was able to share my

267
00:28:55,110 --> 00:28:58,190
story about the ministry losses,
the battles that Sean and I have

268
00:28:58,190 --> 00:29:02,030
faced in our past to let them be
encouraged that God's not done

269
00:29:02,030 --> 00:29:04,390
with them and he has something
big for them to not be

270
00:29:04,390 --> 00:29:06,870
discouraged.
And it was so powerful to get to

271
00:29:06,870 --> 00:29:09,510
encourage their hearts in that
way.

272
00:29:09,550 --> 00:29:11,270
And so today I'll share with
you.

273
00:29:11,270 --> 00:29:14,990
As a result of what I saw and
experienced, I will.

274
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,680
And you'll see these in we call
them I Will statements, and

275
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,200
we've encouraged our team to
share them, to have them and to

276
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:24,600
live by them Now says I will
create daily space to listen to

277
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,960
the spirits leading being still,
being quiet and being

278
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:32,330
intentional in personal worship.
I will cut weight from my life

279
00:29:32,490 --> 00:29:36,290
like frivolous spending, eating
out, buying fancy coffee,

280
00:29:36,610 --> 00:29:39,770
etcetera, to be able to give not
just generously but

281
00:29:39,770 --> 00:29:42,050
extravagantly and to live
simply.

282
00:29:42,050 --> 00:29:45,490
Should God call me to give up
American comforts for His glory,

283
00:29:46,170 --> 00:29:49,930
I will be frugal and save so I
can lead more teams and be

284
00:29:49,930 --> 00:29:52,530
prepared to go whenever the
opportunity arises.

285
00:29:52,890 --> 00:29:56,970
I will cut weight from my time
to more intentionally share the

286
00:29:56,970 --> 00:29:59,490
gospel and make disciples
wherever I am.

287
00:30:00,150 --> 00:30:03,350
I will be available.
That song hits different that we

288
00:30:03,350 --> 00:30:05,310
just sang when you're saying
that to God.

289
00:30:05,310 --> 00:30:08,590
I will be available and
regularly evaluate my

290
00:30:08,590 --> 00:30:11,990
willingness to go wherever God
calls and be used for ministry

291
00:30:11,990 --> 00:30:13,750
both internationally and at
home.

292
00:30:14,030 --> 00:30:16,470
I will train and prepare my
children to be ready to be on

293
00:30:16,470 --> 00:30:19,710
mission across the world.
And I will learn basic Spanish

294
00:30:19,710 --> 00:30:22,710
to be able to converse with our
mission partners, to share the

295
00:30:22,710 --> 00:30:25,230
gospel, but also to be able to
connect with and encourage their

296
00:30:25,230 --> 00:30:28,120
hearts.
And so now you are going to get

297
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:31,280
to hear from all of our team.
They are going to share what God

298
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:34,080
did in their lives, what parts
of the ministries we experience

299
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:37,680
touch them and what they will do
as a result of what they seen.

300
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:40,120
And so first up is Christy
Hardy.

301
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:50,640
We're in trouble.
I have the mic now.

302
00:30:53,750 --> 00:30:57,870
So our first day, like our first
full day when we were in Bogota,

303
00:30:57,870 --> 00:31:03,150
we were at Iglesia Viva and that
was we were had the privilege of

304
00:31:03,150 --> 00:31:04,990
spending time there at this
church.

305
00:31:05,390 --> 00:31:08,910
So we met Pastor Frank and his
wife Andrea.

306
00:31:08,910 --> 00:31:13,150
So Andrea has been doing the
children's ministry and it

307
00:31:13,150 --> 00:31:15,710
wasn't something that she feels
equipped to do.

308
00:31:15,710 --> 00:31:18,790
It wasn't something that she
feels prepared for at all.

309
00:31:19,150 --> 00:31:21,670
It was just a need and she said
yes, so.

310
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:26,600
When we went, we were told ahead
of time to please bring a craft

311
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:30,000
to share with the kids.
So I took two different ideas

312
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:33,520
and the supplies for it.
But the day before we left, I

313
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:37,960
just felt God urging me to do
take one more thing, do

314
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:43,440
something else just in case.
So I went and I purchased the

315
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,440
things to make these bracelets,
and they are.

316
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:48,320
I don't know if you've heard of
A Wordless Book before.

317
00:31:49,130 --> 00:31:52,410
There's also they getting soccer
balls there, but these bracelets

318
00:31:52,410 --> 00:31:57,010
and so we I presented that idea
to Andrea and I said what would

319
00:31:57,010 --> 00:31:58,490
you like?
I have Noah's Ark, I have

320
00:31:58,490 --> 00:32:00,770
bookmarks or I have this word
list book.

321
00:32:00,770 --> 00:32:03,970
It's a bracelet where kids can
wear it and easily be able to

322
00:32:03,970 --> 00:32:07,010
share Jesus with others.
And she got tears in her eyes

323
00:32:07,050 --> 00:32:09,200
and she said.
The bracelet, she said.

324
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:13,360
I do not know what I'm doing.
I don't know how to teach these

325
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:16,160
kids Jesus.
She started in Genesis and she

326
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,080
was just going to teach straight
through the Bible.

327
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:22,360
If you've ever been in kids
ministry, might get lost in

328
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:28,440
Exodus.
So, so, so when she saw you she

329
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:30,240
just had tears in her eyes and
she said.

330
00:32:30,580 --> 00:32:32,380
That's it.
That's what God wants you to do.

331
00:32:32,700 --> 00:32:36,460
So we did these bracelets, and
if you have not seen them

332
00:32:36,460 --> 00:32:40,460
before, the black bead
represents how our heart is

333
00:32:40,460 --> 00:32:44,260
black with sin before Jesus.
The orange bead is supposed to

334
00:32:44,260 --> 00:32:46,180
be red.
The kit did not have red.

335
00:32:47,220 --> 00:32:50,540
That is Jesus's blood, which is
oxidized a little bit in this

336
00:32:50,540 --> 00:32:53,390
bracelet.
So then the red one was for

337
00:32:53,390 --> 00:32:56,430
Jesus's bloodshed for us.
The white one is after we

338
00:32:56,430 --> 00:32:59,550
received Jesus our hearts that
we are made clean through his

339
00:32:59,550 --> 00:33:02,430
blood.
The blue one, which was a super

340
00:33:02,430 --> 00:33:05,670
huge step for them is
representing baptism.

341
00:33:05,670 --> 00:33:08,390
And I talked about how baptism
has nothing to do with your

342
00:33:08,390 --> 00:33:11,190
salvation, but it is the first
act of obedience.

343
00:33:11,630 --> 00:33:14,510
And then the green one, I always
say green like the grass.

344
00:33:14,510 --> 00:33:17,430
It's after we have Jesus in our
heart and we've taken that step

345
00:33:17,430 --> 00:33:20,830
and we are living for him and
our lives are like we are made

346
00:33:20,830 --> 00:33:23,310
new and.
The yellow one is because we are

347
00:33:23,310 --> 00:33:25,390
promised streets of gold in
heaven.

348
00:33:25,390 --> 00:33:28,150
So we made these bracelets you
saw in the video.

349
00:33:28,830 --> 00:33:33,270
Actually Alyssa and Audrey were
doing that with the kids.

350
00:33:33,310 --> 00:33:39,110
It was a huge hit, so much fun.
So we did that and through that

351
00:33:39,110 --> 00:33:42,950
I just the verse that we did
devotions every morning together

352
00:33:42,950 --> 00:33:46,950
as a as a team and the verse
that verses that really stuck

353
00:33:46,950 --> 00:33:52,790
out to me is Philippians 127.
Through 29, like the second-half

354
00:33:52,790 --> 00:33:58,510
of 27.
It's not the same on there as it

355
00:33:58,510 --> 00:34:00,390
is in my Bible.
That's what it is.

356
00:34:00,670 --> 00:34:04,750
So you will be saved in that by
God, for it has been granted to

357
00:34:04,750 --> 00:34:09,070
you on behalf of Christ, not
only to believe in him, but also

358
00:34:09,070 --> 00:34:14,830
to suffer for Him.
OK, so sorry.

359
00:34:14,949 --> 00:34:17,150
It just looks a little different
than what I had done.

360
00:34:17,510 --> 00:34:19,130
So.
I know.

361
00:34:19,210 --> 00:34:22,810
So that was a huge punch in the
gut for me.

362
00:34:22,810 --> 00:34:26,370
We talked about how the where
it's talking about suffering for

363
00:34:26,370 --> 00:34:31,650
Christ, how as Americans we can
very easily make up our own.

364
00:34:31,650 --> 00:34:34,770
It's like an imagined suffering.
It's so easy.

365
00:34:34,770 --> 00:34:38,010
I work for the school district
so it's so easy to think I can't

366
00:34:38,010 --> 00:34:40,650
share Jesus or I can't do that
because I might lose my job

367
00:34:40,810 --> 00:34:42,370
because we're we're not allowed
to do that.

368
00:34:42,810 --> 00:34:45,969
I do not know one person that
has ever lost their job from

369
00:34:45,969 --> 00:34:50,540
sharing Jesus so.
That was just a huge, huge thing

370
00:34:50,540 --> 00:34:52,300
for me.
And with that, you know,

371
00:34:52,300 --> 00:34:54,620
sometimes I'll go home and I'll
think that was a missed

372
00:34:54,620 --> 00:34:56,580
opportunity.
I really missed that opportunity

373
00:34:56,580 --> 00:34:59,180
today.
And Scott encouraged me that

374
00:34:59,180 --> 00:35:02,660
it's so much more than a missed
opportunity that in those

375
00:35:02,660 --> 00:35:06,620
moments where I do not share
what God is urging me to share

376
00:35:07,060 --> 00:35:09,540
in that moment, the gospel isn't
real to me.

377
00:35:10,180 --> 00:35:12,780
And that was huge.
I thought all those times where

378
00:35:12,780 --> 00:35:15,460
I was like, oh, bummer, you
know, I kind of missed that so

379
00:35:15,460 --> 00:35:17,940
much more than I missed that,
so.

380
00:35:18,380 --> 00:35:23,380
With all of that said, my I will
statements reflect that, so I

381
00:35:23,380 --> 00:35:26,820
will be more bold with the
gospel and not create this

382
00:35:26,820 --> 00:35:31,500
imagined persecution.
Or I'm really good at inviting

383
00:35:31,500 --> 00:35:34,980
people to church.
But I will take that a step

384
00:35:34,980 --> 00:35:38,740
further and I will share the
gospel, not just an invitation.

385
00:35:39,470 --> 00:35:41,550
I will grow leaders to grow the
kids department.

386
00:35:41,750 --> 00:35:44,070
Those kids are going to lead
their friends and their families

387
00:35:44,070 --> 00:35:46,670
to Jesus and we are just going
to see our church.

388
00:35:46,870 --> 00:35:50,150
We're going to be busting at the
seams and then I will be

389
00:35:50,150 --> 00:35:51,990
available for what God has for
me.

390
00:35:52,470 --> 00:35:57,110
And that first step was being
able to go on this trip and

391
00:35:57,390 --> 00:36:01,150
listening to his urging and
having these bracelets.

392
00:36:01,150 --> 00:36:03,550
So that was pretty amazing to
see him in action.

393
00:36:09,860 --> 00:36:13,140
Hey, Jews, making your way up
nice.

394
00:36:25,100 --> 00:36:26,540
Come on, give it for Judy one
more time.

395
00:36:26,540 --> 00:36:37,930
Come on.
This was an this was an awesome

396
00:36:37,930 --> 00:36:42,930
experience for me, and on the
very first day that we did a

397
00:36:42,930 --> 00:36:47,250
family visit, something
miraculous happened to me and

398
00:36:47,250 --> 00:36:51,700
for me through the Holy Spirit.
And I'm going to read it to you,

399
00:36:51,700 --> 00:36:55,460
because otherwise I'm going to
end up in tears to tell you

400
00:36:55,460 --> 00:37:00,860
about it.
In prep work for the mission

401
00:37:00,860 --> 00:37:06,260
trip, we were asked why we
thought God was leading each to

402
00:37:06,260 --> 00:37:09,180
go.
My response was I don't have a

403
00:37:09,180 --> 00:37:14,420
clue other than an overwhelming
desire to go and I was sure God

404
00:37:14,420 --> 00:37:16,980
would show me why before the
trip was over.

405
00:37:18,310 --> 00:37:23,150
On our first family visit, a 38
year old mother who was not a

406
00:37:23,150 --> 00:37:27,670
follower of Jesus told her story
of having a life threatening

407
00:37:27,670 --> 00:37:30,870
disease and needing treatment
appointments.

408
00:37:31,190 --> 00:37:34,870
She had two small children and
she was concerned about them.

409
00:37:35,670 --> 00:37:38,750
In her country, medical
treatment appointments were

410
00:37:38,750 --> 00:37:45,590
difficult to get and not always
granted in full measure as she

411
00:37:45,590 --> 00:37:49,640
told her story.
The Holy Spirit clearly spoke to

412
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:53,000
me and said she needs to hear
your story.

413
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,000
She will come to Christ through
her children.

414
00:37:57,720 --> 00:38:01,760
When others had spoken to her,
Scott asked if anyone else had a

415
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:06,000
testimony for her.
I took a deep breath and offered

416
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:10,080
her my personal testimony that I
had not told anyone for 50

417
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:13,520
years.
In a nutshell, I told her we

418
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:17,530
would all pray for her.
But she needed to pray for her

419
00:38:17,530 --> 00:38:21,930
children, and I said to her, I
will tell you why.

420
00:38:22,930 --> 00:38:27,250
I explained that my mother had
died at the age of 36, when I

421
00:38:27,250 --> 00:38:30,850
was 14 years old.
I had six younger brothers and

422
00:38:30,850 --> 00:38:34,930
sisters.
I went on to explain something

423
00:38:34,930 --> 00:38:39,570
more to her, that at the age of
five, my mother had given me a

424
00:38:39,570 --> 00:38:42,050
children's book with pictures
and a scripture.

425
00:38:43,330 --> 00:38:47,530
I described the pictures.
And the Scripture and the

426
00:38:47,530 --> 00:38:51,770
purpose of that book with a very
clear memory.

427
00:38:58,410 --> 00:39:02,330
It was my first real
introduction to who God and

428
00:39:02,330 --> 00:39:05,290
Jesus were and how prayers were
answered.

429
00:39:05,890 --> 00:39:10,210
I shared with her that it was my
mother's childhood teachings

430
00:39:11,170 --> 00:39:15,210
that had sustained me in faith
and prayer all of these years.

431
00:39:15,740 --> 00:39:20,500
And that next year I would be 80
years old, that this legacy my

432
00:39:20,500 --> 00:39:23,140
mother left me was still with
me.

433
00:39:24,180 --> 00:39:30,060
The Holy Spirit had instructed
me that she needed to hear my

434
00:39:30,060 --> 00:39:32,820
childhood story for multiple
reasons.

435
00:39:32,940 --> 00:39:36,980
One, because her children would
come to Christ through her.

436
00:39:38,700 --> 00:39:43,060
Then we heard of the miracle.
Two days later, we heard our

437
00:39:43,060 --> 00:39:45,360
prayers.
Her August treatments were

438
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:48,440
answered.
She had been given all 12

439
00:39:48,720 --> 00:39:53,880
appointments that she needed
both very timely and Scott told

440
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:58,040
us this was a very rare
occurrence in Bogota, Colombia.

441
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:07,920
Pastor Sean also explained to us
at our debriefing that a calling

442
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:12,640
to go on a mission trip like
this and and with all the things

443
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:15,810
that had happened.
In the way that they happened to

444
00:40:15,810 --> 00:40:21,250
me to be sat next to her and to
be able to tell her my story for

445
00:40:21,250 --> 00:40:27,090
the sake of her, her personal
salvation and her children's was

446
00:40:27,090 --> 00:40:34,370
called a divine appointment.
The best scripture that fits

447
00:40:34,370 --> 00:40:39,450
this calling is John 20, verse
21 and 22.

448
00:40:40,130 --> 00:40:42,610
Again, Jesus said, peace be with
you.

449
00:40:43,240 --> 00:40:46,120
As the Father has sent me, I am
sending you.

450
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:52,600
And with that he breathed on
them and said, receive the Holy

451
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:55,720
Spirit.
Given this experience, there's

452
00:40:55,720 --> 00:41:01,040
only four wills that I will be
telling you I promise to do.

453
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:05,760
I will continue to walk where
God leads me through the voice

454
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:09,720
of the gift of the Holy Spirit.
I will continue to be grateful

455
00:41:09,720 --> 00:41:14,480
for the hands Christ Jesus sends
me to travel life's journey,

456
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:18,760
both spiritually and physically.
I will continue to support and

457
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:22,480
encourage the younger generation
and their journey to follow the

458
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:27,520
way Christ Jesus taught in both
spiritual and physical endeavors

459
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:30,920
and challenges.
And I will strive to hear more

460
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:35,120
clearly and submit to God's will
as I am led.

461
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:41,340
The amazing thing for me is that
74 years after a seed was

462
00:41:41,340 --> 00:41:46,300
planted by my mother at the age
of five years old, that it set

463
00:41:46,300 --> 00:41:50,140
my path for the rest of my life
to seek God in Christ.

464
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:09,440
Yeah, Come on.
Come on up, buddy.

465
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:11,280
Yeah.
So you see this picture real

466
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:13,080
quick, Judy, Go back to the last
one.

467
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:15,120
So Judy is actually in the back
of the room.

468
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:19,720
And it was just crazy how God,
like, just moved her over before

469
00:42:19,720 --> 00:42:21,760
they got in.
And she ended up holding her

470
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:25,080
hand over there and and praying
with her and sharing the story

471
00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:27,240
and probably one of those
powerful parts of the trip.

472
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:28,920
And so get it for Judy one more
time.

473
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:30,320
This is incredible what God did
through.

474
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:41,880
All right, now get up for
Coleman Bogota.

475
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:43,960
Colombia is a city of 12
million.

476
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:48,880
A massive city by all standards
as large as New York City and

477
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:51,680
Los Angeles combined.
A mega city full of people who

478
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:55,680
need Jesus and to hear the word
of God everywhere we went other

479
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:57,720
than the church.
And like parts, you can see

480
00:42:57,720 --> 00:43:02,100
people who need Jesus.
The church we went to was doing

481
00:43:02,100 --> 00:43:05,220
great things, bring people off
the streets into the light of

482
00:43:05,260 --> 00:43:06,940
Jesus.
They have their square mile

483
00:43:06,940 --> 00:43:09,340
covered.
But there are 600 other square

484
00:43:09,340 --> 00:43:13,260
miles inside Colombia, inside
Bogota, that need to hear Jesus.

485
00:43:13,980 --> 00:43:17,060
You might wonder why Bogota?
Why not here in the States?

486
00:43:17,980 --> 00:43:21,140
And I think that national
missions are just as important

487
00:43:21,180 --> 00:43:24,740
as international missions.
But because of this ongoing

488
00:43:24,740 --> 00:43:27,980
opportunity we have with Hugo,
Frank and Andrea and others,

489
00:43:27,980 --> 00:43:30,060
down in Bogota is a perfect
place to go.

490
00:43:31,690 --> 00:43:35,210
John, the verse I'm going to
share with you that ties to the

491
00:43:35,210 --> 00:43:39,290
whole trip we went to is John
2021.

492
00:43:40,050 --> 00:43:43,410
So Jesus said to them again,
peace be with you as the Father

493
00:43:43,410 --> 00:43:46,770
has sent me.
I also sent you as Scott did.

494
00:43:46,770 --> 00:43:49,410
I want to make an an emphasis on
the last part.

495
00:43:49,570 --> 00:43:53,250
I also sent you this is the one.
This is one of two main points

496
00:43:53,250 --> 00:43:55,250
that Scott really drove home
throughout the trip.

497
00:43:55,810 --> 00:44:00,480
Jesus calls us to do missions,
not This isn't just the getaway.

498
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:02,800
Far from if you're doing it
correctly.

499
00:44:03,720 --> 00:44:05,160
We didn't go there for the
scenery.

500
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:07,600
Although it was beautiful, we
didn't go there to buy things

501
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:10,320
for the markets.
We went there to share Jesus, to

502
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:14,480
bring who we can to Him.
I will share the in the I will

503
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:17,120
statements I have, I will share
the gospel, and I will devote

504
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:20,720
myself to His word.
Before this trip, I didn't share

505
00:44:20,720 --> 00:44:24,600
the gospel that much and I and
irregularly read my Bible.

506
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:27,600
Now I will continue what I was
doing through the mission strip.

507
00:44:28,290 --> 00:44:31,450
It's kind of weird what Mission
strip can do in your life if you

508
00:44:31,450 --> 00:44:34,490
go into it with the right
attitude and intentions.

509
00:44:34,890 --> 00:44:37,090
You can't just go into it
thinking I'm going to help these

510
00:44:37,090 --> 00:44:39,370
people as part of the reason we
do missions.

511
00:44:39,370 --> 00:44:42,970
But it's not the main reason We
do missions to spread the word

512
00:44:42,970 --> 00:44:44,970
of God, to bring people to
Jesus.

513
00:44:45,570 --> 00:44:48,010
If you go into missions solely
with the intention of help

514
00:44:48,010 --> 00:44:49,930
people, you won't see much
change in your faith.

515
00:44:50,290 --> 00:44:52,490
You have to do it.
You have to do missions with

516
00:44:52,530 --> 00:45:00,950
Jesus on your heart and mind.
Come on.

517
00:45:01,910 --> 00:45:03,590
He's like, I'm going to go
change Columbia and Columbia

518
00:45:03,590 --> 00:45:06,110
changed me.
And it's always works that way.

519
00:45:06,230 --> 00:45:08,390
Great jump on the video too.
Coleman Alyssa, come on.

520
00:45:08,390 --> 00:45:10,830
Look at you jumping up here.
You're ready to go.

521
00:45:10,830 --> 00:45:16,030
Thank.
You So on Friday morning we were

522
00:45:16,030 --> 00:45:19,590
able to visit Scott's church,
Combibo Norte, two people from

523
00:45:19,590 --> 00:45:22,750
their church, Viviana and Juan.
They run a before and after

524
00:45:22,750 --> 00:45:25,270
school program for the kids in
the neighborhood.

525
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:28,120
They play educational games,
They have a Bible story, and

526
00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:31,280
then they eat lunch on the bus
ride there.

527
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:34,440
Scott encouraged us to really
get involved with the kids and

528
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:37,840
to not just stand to the side
during the first part, the

529
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:40,200
learning game.
It definitely would have been

530
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:43,440
easy to stand it in the corner
and watch because we had no idea

531
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:47,640
what was going on.
And Audrey and I oh, sorry, but

532
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:50,600
jumping in was and doing it with
them was really fun.

533
00:45:51,720 --> 00:45:53,960
Audrey and I also had the
opportunity to lead them in a

534
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:55,880
craft.
We built Noah's Ark with

535
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:57,720
construction paper and pipe
cleaners.

536
00:45:57,720 --> 00:46:00,080
You can see one little girl
holding hers there.

537
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:06,920
So sorry.
The first time around was

538
00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:10,280
definitely a little rough, but
by the second time we and the

539
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:13,240
kids got the hang of it, it was
really cool to connect to them

540
00:46:13,240 --> 00:46:15,720
without ever really even having
a conversation.

541
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:18,800
Me and a couple kids actually
went back and forth and telling,

542
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:20,600
telling each other the names of
the animals.

543
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:24,040
We were able to play a very
confusing games of Pato, Pato

544
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:28,520
Gonzo or ducked out goose with
the second group and it was

545
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:31,600
really cool to see how rewarding
just jumping in can be.

546
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:35,120
I saw this in a kids ministry in
Colombia, but it was a good

547
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:37,080
reminder of how I should see it
everywhere.

548
00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:40,680
I just have to look.
Philippians 127th through 30

549
00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:44,240
says whatever happens, conduct
yourself in a manner worthy of

550
00:46:44,240 --> 00:46:48,800
the gospel of the Christ.
This then, whenever I come and

551
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:51,080
see you, or only hear about you
in my absence.

552
00:46:51,500 --> 00:46:54,340
I will know that you stand firm
in one spirit, striving together

553
00:46:54,340 --> 00:46:57,780
for the faith of the gospel,
without being frightened in any

554
00:46:57,780 --> 00:47:01,180
way by those who oppose you.
This is a sign to them that they

555
00:47:01,180 --> 00:47:04,300
will be destroyed, but you will
be saved, and that by God.

556
00:47:04,980 --> 00:47:07,860
For it has been granted to you
on behalf of the Christ of

557
00:47:07,860 --> 00:47:11,420
Christ, not only to believe in
him, but also to suffer for him,

558
00:47:11,420 --> 00:47:14,620
since you are going through the
same struggle you saw I had, and

559
00:47:14,620 --> 00:47:17,970
now hear that I still have.
We use this verse to remind

560
00:47:17,970 --> 00:47:20,490
ourselves that suffering for
Christ is a privilege that we

561
00:47:20,490 --> 00:47:23,890
should be open to.
Scott connected this verse to

562
00:47:23,890 --> 00:47:26,890
show us that many times in our
life we create fictitious

563
00:47:26,890 --> 00:47:29,370
persecution.
We choose not to share the

564
00:47:29,370 --> 00:47:31,490
gospel because of what may
happen.

565
00:47:32,250 --> 00:47:35,050
But this verse shows us that if
we are led to share the gospel,

566
00:47:35,330 --> 00:47:38,410
he has already taken care of it.
God is ahead of us and is taking

567
00:47:38,410 --> 00:47:41,050
care of us.
And if we do face persecution,

568
00:47:41,050 --> 00:47:43,850
we can trust that it brings
glory to his name and

569
00:47:43,850 --> 00:47:46,250
combivenorte with the kids.
I could have not joined in the

570
00:47:46,250 --> 00:47:48,060
game.
Or not in the craft because I

571
00:47:48,060 --> 00:47:50,500
didn't want to get looked at
funny, or I didn't want them to

572
00:47:50,500 --> 00:47:53,300
dislike me.
But I did join and nothing but

573
00:47:53,300 --> 00:47:56,140
good happened.
How many times here at home have

574
00:47:56,140 --> 00:47:59,060
I passed up an opportunity to
share the gospel because of what

575
00:47:59,060 --> 00:48:01,060
others thought?
Because I didn't want to offend

576
00:48:01,060 --> 00:48:03,260
somebody?
How many times have we all

577
00:48:03,260 --> 00:48:06,580
passed out these opportunities?
How many people did not hear the

578
00:48:06,580 --> 00:48:08,700
gospel because of our worldly
fears?

579
00:48:09,540 --> 00:48:11,740
We can use this verse to
remember that God is with us and

580
00:48:11,740 --> 00:48:14,970
has a plan.
Columbia has changed me, so

581
00:48:14,970 --> 00:48:16,890
these are the changes I will
make in my life.

582
00:48:17,530 --> 00:48:20,530
I will learn and know the Bible.
I will share the gospel.

583
00:48:21,250 --> 00:48:23,810
I will devote more time to
learning and worshiping God.

584
00:48:24,610 --> 00:48:28,090
I will be more flexible and gain
perspective.

585
00:48:28,610 --> 00:48:32,690
I will be unashamed of my faith.
I will stop caring what others

586
00:48:32,690 --> 00:48:35,330
think and remind myself that
God's opinion is the only one

587
00:48:35,330 --> 00:48:37,930
that matters.
I will give my life to what God

588
00:48:37,930 --> 00:48:39,970
wants me to do and leave my own
agenda behind.

589
00:48:40,850 --> 00:48:43,090
I will get outside of my comfort
zone to bring others to God.

590
00:48:43,770 --> 00:48:46,010
I will be willing to suffer for
God, and I will grow my

591
00:48:46,010 --> 00:48:49,610
relationship with God.
Come on.

592
00:48:53,490 --> 00:48:56,290
I felt like she just preached
the message right of the holy

593
00:48:56,290 --> 00:48:57,890
smokes.
That's a young person with God

594
00:48:57,890 --> 00:48:59,850
in her heart.
I mean, absolutely incredible.

595
00:49:00,410 --> 00:49:02,730
And so I think, God, you're up
next.

596
00:49:03,370 --> 00:49:05,050
Give it up for her.
Come on.

597
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:14,080
So the thing that impacted me
the most for the home visits,

598
00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:18,760
which were we went to families
and brought them groceries when

599
00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:20,840
they were nonbelievers and they
were going through some

600
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:24,720
difficult times.
So many people played impact on

601
00:49:24,720 --> 00:49:29,200
that and impact on the family
and everyone who was on the trip

602
00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:32,680
and who are there, and being
able to see the connections

603
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:35,920
recreated through those home
visits were awe inspiring at our

604
00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:40,140
first home visit we were with.
Olga, a single mother who was

605
00:49:40,140 --> 00:49:43,900
just out of the hospital for a
very bad intestinal cancer.

606
00:49:44,940 --> 00:49:48,620
Why we were there.
Judy was sat down right next to

607
00:49:48,620 --> 00:49:50,980
Olga and it was God.
Leading Judy to share her

608
00:49:50,980 --> 00:49:54,580
testimony, testimony she hasn't
shared in 50 years, which is I

609
00:49:54,580 --> 00:49:57,940
think is incredible.
And at the beginning of the day,

610
00:49:57,940 --> 00:50:00,860
Judy wasn't expecting to share
her story, but it was through.

611
00:50:02,180 --> 00:50:05,340
But it's through God who allowed
her to tell her testimony to a

612
00:50:05,540 --> 00:50:08,140
family that needed it.
There was also there that

613
00:50:08,140 --> 00:50:11,260
Coleman used his incredible
speaking Spanish speaking

614
00:50:11,260 --> 00:50:16,500
skills, which I do not have, and
he's in Spanish.

615
00:50:16,940 --> 00:50:20,780
God wants nothing more than to
have a relationship with you and

616
00:50:20,780 --> 00:50:23,220
you can find it with Jesus.
Even though I didn't understand

617
00:50:23,220 --> 00:50:26,300
him at the time, I could see and
feel the change and connection

618
00:50:27,140 --> 00:50:28,820
growing in the family at the
moment.

619
00:50:29,460 --> 00:50:32,780
We traveled to a country where
we where they don't expect us to

620
00:50:32,780 --> 00:50:37,020
speak Spanish and for Coleman to
say something so hot felt in

621
00:50:37,020 --> 00:50:41,380
their language created a very
personal connection with the

622
00:50:41,380 --> 00:50:45,980
people in that room and the next
home visit we were we were there

623
00:50:45,980 --> 00:50:52,100
for a man who was having kidney
problems and it was there.

624
00:50:52,380 --> 00:50:54,740
Oh yeah, it was there that I
heard.

625
00:50:54,740 --> 00:50:57,240
Diane.
Say something very powerful it

626
00:50:57,240 --> 00:50:59,960
was.
Doctors treat people, but it's

627
00:50:59,960 --> 00:51:03,720
God that heals people.
And from the silence that

628
00:51:03,720 --> 00:51:06,400
followed, you could tell the
power that God had in that

629
00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:09,040
moment and never forget what she
said.

630
00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:12,800
Even though I did not say much
during those home visits, I

631
00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:15,400
witnessed the start of new
relationships and the

632
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:18,160
strengthening of current
relationships with God.

633
00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:22,120
It was incredible to witness
what God did in those moments.

634
00:51:22,530 --> 00:51:26,970
And in Philippians 225 to 27 it
says.

635
00:51:27,810 --> 00:51:32,970
But I think it is necessary to
send back to you Epheditis.

636
00:51:33,810 --> 00:51:37,810
Yeah, my brother, coworker and
fellow soldierer who is also

637
00:51:37,810 --> 00:51:41,970
your messenger whom you sent to
take care of my needs, where he

638
00:51:41,970 --> 00:51:46,010
longs for all of you and is
distressed because you heard he

639
00:51:46,010 --> 00:51:49,720
was ill.
Indeed, he was ill and almost

640
00:51:49,720 --> 00:51:51,560
died.
But God had mercy on him, and

641
00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:56,160
not on him only, but also on me.
To spare me sorrow upon sorrow.

642
00:51:57,240 --> 00:52:02,200
We were sent from real life as
coworkers as from God, and where

643
00:52:02,200 --> 00:52:05,200
his messengers connect with
these people who are far from

644
00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:07,920
God.
A city full of 12 million

645
00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:11,240
people.
We were able to share the gospel

646
00:52:11,240 --> 00:52:13,720
with only a few.
But numbers don't matter.

647
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:16,400
I mean, Jesus only had 12
disciples.

648
00:52:17,140 --> 00:52:19,740
Is the connection you make with
people that matter?

649
00:52:21,100 --> 00:52:24,180
The people we connected with
learned more about the gospel

650
00:52:24,180 --> 00:52:27,220
and now have the knowledge to go
out and share that gospel with

651
00:52:27,220 --> 00:52:30,220
people even though we didn't
speak the language?

652
00:52:30,220 --> 00:52:32,540
This connection that only
happened through God's loved,

653
00:52:33,020 --> 00:52:36,700
and if you weren't sent by real
life or by God, we wouldn't have

654
00:52:36,700 --> 00:52:38,700
been able to make those
relationships with people who

655
00:52:38,700 --> 00:52:41,940
are going through a very
difficult time in life and as a

656
00:52:41,940 --> 00:52:44,270
family.
That week in Columbia is

657
00:52:44,270 --> 00:52:47,230
something I'll never forget.
A week spending with new people

658
00:52:47,470 --> 00:52:50,790
and being able to experience how
God can impact the lives of many

659
00:52:52,310 --> 00:52:53,830
after what I've learned on the
mission ship.

660
00:52:54,630 --> 00:52:56,830
I will not be silent in the
gospel.

661
00:52:57,470 --> 00:52:59,150
I will read and learn more of
the Bible.

662
00:52:59,590 --> 00:53:03,030
I will would use what I've seen
on this trip to create

663
00:53:03,030 --> 00:53:04,830
relationships with others in the
gospel.

664
00:53:05,190 --> 00:53:10,670
And I remember that God is with
me through suffering and whoa,

665
00:53:11,030 --> 00:53:12,910
anxiety.
And overthinking.

666
00:53:12,910 --> 00:53:15,590
And I will submit to God's bill.
So thank you.

667
00:53:18,270 --> 00:53:19,470
That was awesome.
Thanks for sharing.

668
00:53:22,270 --> 00:53:24,630
Yeah, you don't learn this on a
typical Sunday morning, right?

669
00:53:25,510 --> 00:53:26,350
This is cool.
The spirit.

670
00:53:26,350 --> 00:53:28,110
God, we went through our team
and what these guys are

671
00:53:28,110 --> 00:53:31,630
learning.
Dennis the Dennis the Menace.

672
00:53:31,630 --> 00:53:35,030
As we started calming the trip.
The man that we give it all give

673
00:53:35,030 --> 00:53:36,310
it up for Dennis.
Come on.

674
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:41,720
Everybody's been patiently
waiting for you to explain your

675
00:53:41,720 --> 00:53:47,680
pants.
These are from Ecuador, not from

676
00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:51,400
Colombia.
Well, that's a long story.

677
00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:54,160
I'll tell it to the outside
because they only give me 4

678
00:53:54,160 --> 00:53:58,000
minutes and it's going to take
me 4 minutes.

679
00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:02,160
OK.
First of all, I'd like to go to

680
00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:08,040
Philippians 2 versus 3 and four
and it says.

681
00:54:08,540 --> 00:54:11,780
In your relationship with one
another, that's not the what I

682
00:54:11,780 --> 00:54:13,980
got.
Here we go.

683
00:54:15,940 --> 00:54:18,900
We'll start it down here.
Do nothing out of selfish

684
00:54:18,900 --> 00:54:23,780
ambition or vain conceit, but in
humility, consider others better

685
00:54:23,780 --> 00:54:27,780
than yourselves.
Each of you should look not only

686
00:54:28,540 --> 00:54:32,660
to your own self-interest, but
also to the interests of others.

687
00:54:33,420 --> 00:54:36,740
Well, when I went down there, I
got to admit I didn't even want

688
00:54:36,740 --> 00:54:42,110
to go.
Somehow or another, my wife kind

689
00:54:42,110 --> 00:54:47,030
of convinced me to go and it was
all about me when we started in

690
00:54:47,030 --> 00:54:48,150
order.
It says that you're about

691
00:54:48,150 --> 00:54:51,310
conceit and you know, thinking
about you got to do something

692
00:54:51,310 --> 00:54:53,950
for other people.
Well, the first day we were

693
00:54:53,950 --> 00:54:56,710
real, they are there for the
first whole day.

694
00:54:56,710 --> 00:55:02,190
We went to church and all I'm
sitting there thinking is, oh

695
00:55:02,270 --> 00:55:05,750
boy, church is going to get over
and we got to go out and pound

696
00:55:05,750 --> 00:55:07,860
on doors.
Is they were going to have a

697
00:55:07,860 --> 00:55:11,300
reception at 4:30 in the
afternoon and we're going to

698
00:55:11,300 --> 00:55:13,740
have lunch and we're going to go
out and fall on down doors.

699
00:55:13,740 --> 00:55:16,660
This just didn't sound like
something I really wanted to do.

700
00:55:17,780 --> 00:55:23,420
But anyway, we got a team
together and we started walking

701
00:55:23,420 --> 00:55:26,900
down the stairs and I don't know
what hit me, but I said, well,

702
00:55:26,900 --> 00:55:29,460
this doesn't look like it could
be that bad.

703
00:55:29,460 --> 00:55:33,340
So we started knocking on doors.
I don't speak much Spanish, I

704
00:55:33,340 --> 00:55:34,920
mean.
What was it?

705
00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:40,160
Con, which is bread, and lychee,
which is milk, and Manzano,

706
00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:42,600
which is apples.
It didn't really come into the

707
00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:48,600
conversation very much, but
anyhow, they gave us

708
00:55:48,600 --> 00:55:53,320
invitations, which was cool
because I I had the privilege of

709
00:55:53,320 --> 00:55:56,120
working with Coleman and he had
a little bit of Spanish, so I've

710
00:55:56,320 --> 00:55:58,160
got a little bit there.
But they also sent a couple of

711
00:55:58,160 --> 00:56:02,480
people that could speak Spanish.
So we went to a few doors and

712
00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:05,680
knocked on, you know, and.
Gave out these invitations and I

713
00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:10,200
was good at doing it, giving the
invitation, but you know, it

714
00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:13,280
still was kind of out of place.
But something was coming over

715
00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:14,560
me.
All of a sudden I felt like,

716
00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:17,760
wow, this is pretty cool.
Well, we started seeing people

717
00:56:17,760 --> 00:56:21,080
walk down the street.
Well, I didn't wait for us to

718
00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:22,760
knock on doors if they were
walking.

719
00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:27,680
I was talking and I started
handing out these different

720
00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:31,470
invitations.
Notice this is at 3:00.

721
00:56:31,470 --> 00:56:34,710
Between 3:00 and 4:00, we have
to we have the thing at 4:30.

722
00:56:35,670 --> 00:56:39,830
Well, by 4:00 we are done.
Just about done.

723
00:56:39,830 --> 00:56:43,750
It was about 3:45.
Well, Pastor Frank and Scott,

724
00:56:43,750 --> 00:56:45,870
they grabbed me and they said,
hey, you're doing pretty good at

725
00:56:45,870 --> 00:56:47,790
this.
And so we started hitting

726
00:56:47,790 --> 00:56:49,990
everybody that was walking up
and down the sidewalks.

727
00:56:51,150 --> 00:56:54,790
It really changed me because all
of a sudden it wasn't about me.

728
00:56:54,790 --> 00:56:58,430
It was about getting people to
come to this, to the church.

729
00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:02,960
It it was just one of the most
fantastic things.

730
00:57:03,480 --> 00:57:06,160
Realizing that, hey, it is not
about me, it's about this

731
00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:08,040
church.
We want to grow this church, and

732
00:57:08,040 --> 00:57:10,200
the only way is to get the word
out.

733
00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:19,440
The nice thing about being me is
being tall and not, you know,

734
00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:21,880
having a little bit of humor
along with it.

735
00:57:21,880 --> 00:57:24,880
And so they grabbed me because
they figured they could do a lot

736
00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:27,870
with me is.
So we were handing it out and

737
00:57:27,870 --> 00:57:30,670
they he, they introduced, you
know, after I handed it out and

738
00:57:30,910 --> 00:57:34,990
said, you know, hey, you know,
happy pan or happy Manzano or

739
00:57:34,990 --> 00:57:38,430
whatever.
Anyway, what do you call it?

740
00:57:39,230 --> 00:57:44,430
You know, because I was so big,
it was easy to start a

741
00:57:44,430 --> 00:57:50,030
conversation and once I got the
the invitation in their hand,

742
00:57:50,710 --> 00:57:54,030
the other two could talk in
their their language and we got

743
00:57:54,030 --> 00:57:58,670
to go get it together.
Well, in in that hour we ended

744
00:57:58,670 --> 00:58:03,270
up having eight people attend
this, this little get together

745
00:58:03,630 --> 00:58:09,230
at 4:30, which that's probably
more than 5% of all the people

746
00:58:09,230 --> 00:58:11,750
that we handed out invitations,
which was great.

747
00:58:14,190 --> 00:58:19,670
It taught me a lot about
humility, you know, You know,

748
00:58:19,670 --> 00:58:24,150
it's being that way.
It's, you know, just.

749
00:58:24,400 --> 00:58:28,240
Serving other people is a lot
different than I ever thought it

750
00:58:28,240 --> 00:58:31,360
would be.
But anyway, they used to call me

751
00:58:31,360 --> 00:58:37,520
the Grande loco Viejo gringo,
which meant the giant crazy old

752
00:58:37,520 --> 00:58:41,880
man.
And that's and that's what Scott

753
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:46,440
and and and Frank they they kind
of did that and I lived with it

754
00:58:47,480 --> 00:58:52,040
but after that it was so much
easier to.

755
00:58:52,550 --> 00:58:54,870
All of a sudden it wasn't about
me anymore.

756
00:58:55,350 --> 00:58:58,550
And every place we went, I tried
to serve the best I could.

757
00:58:59,230 --> 00:59:01,270
And I think that was one of the
big things.

758
00:59:01,270 --> 00:59:06,310
So on the I wills, the things
that I will try to do is I'll

759
00:59:06,310 --> 00:59:11,470
try to play more fervently and
for other people, mainly because

760
00:59:11,510 --> 00:59:15,230
I saw a miracle, Judy's miracle
down there.

761
00:59:16,230 --> 00:59:19,910
I will not try to judge people.
Even though I don't like you, I

762
00:59:19,910 --> 00:59:25,310
won't try to judge you.
Because I I met a lot of people

763
00:59:25,310 --> 00:59:27,590
down there that I didn't know if
I liked or not.

764
00:59:27,590 --> 00:59:29,150
But what do you call?
I didn't judge them.

765
00:59:32,590 --> 00:59:37,510
I will also not be afraid to
show my emotions, which I I

766
00:59:37,510 --> 00:59:45,590
laughed a lot, I cried a lot,
and I will be more generous to

767
00:59:45,590 --> 00:59:48,270
the Church, but also to these
missions.

768
00:59:49,010 --> 00:59:51,130
I mean, it costs money to run
these things.

769
00:59:51,170 --> 00:59:53,290
And I'll tell you what, I'm
going to do what I can.

770
00:59:53,290 --> 00:59:58,450
I saw what it's doing, you know,
what a few $100, a few $1000 can

771
00:59:58,450 --> 01:00:02,170
do for these people down there.
It's really important.

772
01:00:02,210 --> 01:00:06,890
And so I'm going to try doing
something crazy this next within

773
01:00:06,890 --> 01:00:09,490
the next year about whether I do
drive sales or what.

774
01:00:09,490 --> 01:00:11,530
But we're going to raise some
money for these people.

775
01:00:12,370 --> 01:00:15,010
I want to say thank you for
everybody that took and prayed

776
01:00:15,010 --> 01:00:19,430
for us and I want to thank.
That team that we really got

777
01:00:19,430 --> 01:00:22,590
together, we really have a
special bond and I thank

778
01:00:22,590 --> 01:00:25,070
everybody for it and the
opportunity.

779
01:00:25,070 --> 01:00:36,510
Thank you, Sean.
Well Dennis was a life blow the

780
01:00:36,510 --> 01:00:41,110
trip and honestly that means a
true servant of God.

781
01:00:41,110 --> 01:00:44,710
And it was it was fun watching
him because God was working all

782
01:00:44,710 --> 01:00:46,390
over him.
And that guy shed more tears.

783
01:00:46,390 --> 01:00:50,470
I'm telling you, we actually had
a day no tear Thursday and.

784
01:00:51,480 --> 01:00:53,840
But I mean, you can't even
encapsulate in words what God

785
01:00:53,840 --> 01:00:55,680
did in through Dennis.
So thank you, Dennis.

786
01:00:55,920 --> 01:00:57,160
You're for Logan.
Come on.

787
01:01:01,280 --> 01:01:03,800
If Dennis wrote a book about
paint drying, I'd probably

788
01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:09,000
preorder it.
Segue I'm going to talk to you

789
01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:12,160
guys about the process of
painting the discipleship

790
01:01:12,160 --> 01:01:15,120
school, and I'll contextualize
it a little bit and actually

791
01:01:15,120 --> 01:01:18,420
explain what it was.
So Hugo, the man that runs it,

792
01:01:18,420 --> 01:01:21,940
he used to be a part of a few
evangelistic projects, but he

793
01:01:21,940 --> 01:01:24,220
didn't really like the culture
of the catch and release that

794
01:01:24,220 --> 01:01:26,940
was going on.
So he opened a school, and the

795
01:01:26,940 --> 01:01:30,980
whole point of his school was to
build up disciples into the next

796
01:01:30,980 --> 01:01:33,660
generation so that they would do
the same thing, and on and on

797
01:01:33,660 --> 01:01:36,540
and on.
But right now, they're in a

798
01:01:36,540 --> 01:01:39,060
transition period where they
didn't have enough students to

799
01:01:39,060 --> 01:01:44,020
open a semester justifiably.
So Hugo being the person he is,

800
01:01:44,020 --> 01:01:47,700
he isn't taking it as a step
back, but as an opportunity to

801
01:01:47,700 --> 01:01:49,940
expand networks.
He's going across the country

802
01:01:49,940 --> 01:01:53,060
with his team to meet new
churches and find a steady,

803
01:01:53,740 --> 01:01:56,020
steady flow of students for his
deception of school.

804
01:01:56,660 --> 01:01:59,220
And the other thing he's doing
is where we came in, he's

805
01:01:59,220 --> 01:02:03,820
updating the building itself.
So we came in being told we were

806
01:02:03,820 --> 01:02:07,380
going to paint and I was under
the impression it was maybe 2-3

807
01:02:07,380 --> 01:02:10,160
rooms at the most.
I'd never painted before and I

808
01:02:10,160 --> 01:02:12,360
could have imagined I wasn't
going to like it very much.

809
01:02:13,120 --> 01:02:16,280
So a little bit in it turned
into about half the building,

810
01:02:16,280 --> 01:02:19,720
and when I realized that I was
like, ooh, I'm not very good at

811
01:02:19,720 --> 01:02:22,160
this, I don't quite enjoy it,
and I don't know how much I'm

812
01:02:22,160 --> 01:02:27,960
going to have fun doing this.
So for the next few hours I was

813
01:02:29,120 --> 01:02:31,480
fumbling with my paintbrush.
I was messing up everything I

814
01:02:31,480 --> 01:02:33,880
was painting and I was wiping
off a lot of mistakes.

815
01:02:34,280 --> 01:02:37,040
But slowly and surely, I was
actually beginning to enjoy it.

816
01:02:37,040 --> 01:02:40,240
And what sort of hit me?
Was that my passion for what we

817
01:02:40,240 --> 01:02:43,360
were doing was inconsequential
to my passion for why we were

818
01:02:43,360 --> 01:02:47,760
doing what we were doing.
We were there to be a very small

819
01:02:47,760 --> 01:02:50,000
part of the foundation of future
disciples.

820
01:02:50,360 --> 01:02:53,200
We were there to make ourselves
nothing and to serve not on our

821
01:02:53,200 --> 01:02:56,200
pretenses or on our schedule,
but how we were called to by the

822
01:02:56,200 --> 01:02:59,520
people we were helping.
And I'm going to contextualize

823
01:02:59,520 --> 01:03:03,520
that with First Corinthians 919
through 23.

824
01:03:04,100 --> 01:03:07,060
Though I am free and belong to
no one, I've made myself a slave

825
01:03:07,060 --> 01:03:09,940
to everyone to win as many as
possible to the Jews.

826
01:03:09,940 --> 01:03:14,060
I became like a do, a Jew to win
the Jews to those under the law.

827
01:03:14,460 --> 01:03:17,380
I became like one under the law,
though I myself am not under the

828
01:03:17,380 --> 01:03:19,340
law, so as to win those under
the law.

829
01:03:19,780 --> 01:03:21,620
To those not having the law, I
became like 1.

830
01:03:21,620 --> 01:03:24,300
Not having the law, though I am
not free from God's law, but I'm

831
01:03:24,300 --> 01:03:26,940
under Christ's law so as to win
those Not having the law.

832
01:03:27,060 --> 01:03:30,140
To the weak I became weak.
To win the weak, I have become

833
01:03:30,140 --> 01:03:32,780
all things to all people, so
that by all possible means I

834
01:03:32,780 --> 01:03:35,130
might save some.
I do all this for the sake of

835
01:03:35,130 --> 01:03:37,410
the gospel that I may share in
its blessings.

836
01:03:38,210 --> 01:03:40,850
Jesus came from the most High
point and he made himself

837
01:03:40,850 --> 01:03:43,770
nothing and he calls us to do
the same, which where we are

838
01:03:43,770 --> 01:03:47,290
shouldn't be very difficult.
But to contextualize that even

839
01:03:47,290 --> 01:03:54,170
further, John 20/21 He calls us
to do it in partnership with

840
01:03:54,170 --> 01:03:55,930
him.
As Jesus said, peace be with

841
01:03:55,930 --> 01:03:57,690
you.
As the Father has sent me, I am

842
01:03:57,690 --> 01:04:00,070
sending you.
He calls us to serve in

843
01:04:00,070 --> 01:04:03,270
partnership as he did to walk
the same beaten path he and many

844
01:04:03,270 --> 01:04:05,430
more righteous than us have
walked a long boat ago.

845
01:04:05,950 --> 01:04:08,870
And the cool thing I think is he
gave us the largest shoulders to

846
01:04:08,870 --> 01:04:11,430
stand on and the greatest
example to follow as we work in

847
01:04:11,430 --> 01:04:14,590
partnership with him, even at
something as simple as painting.

848
01:04:15,150 --> 01:04:17,910
I was showing a lot of great
people on this trip and I'm

849
01:04:17,990 --> 01:04:20,390
learned a lot of things, but the
two most important things I'm

850
01:04:20,390 --> 01:04:23,430
going to carry back into the
States is a heart of servitude

851
01:04:23,430 --> 01:04:25,430
and a heart of submission as I
was shown on the trip.

852
01:04:25,710 --> 01:04:29,150
Thank you.
Come on.

853
01:04:29,150 --> 01:04:32,470
Thanks, Logan, man, it's in
power.

854
01:04:33,310 --> 01:04:35,230
I kept telling Logan it's not
send the drift of paint.

855
01:04:35,230 --> 01:04:36,310
It's just send not to wipe it
up.

856
01:04:36,310 --> 01:04:40,830
It's like, come on, Logan.
Oh man, I can see God has moved

857
01:04:40,830 --> 01:04:42,030
to every single person on this
trip.

858
01:04:42,030 --> 01:04:43,870
And there's a couple of thoughts
I just want to share with you.

859
01:04:44,230 --> 01:04:47,870
I'm really just there's so much
I could say and I'm not going to

860
01:04:47,870 --> 01:04:50,190
have the time to say it.
I'm just not.

861
01:04:50,430 --> 01:04:52,950
And it's it's almost one of the
things you got experience.

862
01:04:53,380 --> 01:04:55,580
And so God just put my heart to
say just a few quick things.

863
01:04:55,580 --> 01:05:00,180
One is thank you Jesus, that he
chose us to make a difference on

864
01:05:00,180 --> 01:05:02,580
this trip.
Thank you Jesus for divine

865
01:05:02,580 --> 01:05:03,580
appointments.
Amen.

866
01:05:04,180 --> 01:05:06,700
Thank you Jesus that we got to
go over there and play a small

867
01:05:06,700 --> 01:05:10,620
part of the story of encouraging
these people that there is so

868
01:05:10,620 --> 01:05:13,580
much that happened on that trip
that was just gospel centered

869
01:05:13,860 --> 01:05:16,620
and to strengthen those leaders
for Christ.

870
01:05:16,620 --> 01:05:18,140
So thank you, Jesus.
Amen.

871
01:05:18,700 --> 01:05:20,220
And that that's to your account
as well.

872
01:05:20,220 --> 01:05:22,120
Amen.
You guys play a part of this

873
01:05:22,120 --> 01:05:25,560
story so we just give it up for
Jesus today, what he's doing.

874
01:05:28,840 --> 01:05:32,040
There's a it's reminded of
verses in the Philippians but

875
01:05:32,880 --> 01:05:34,600
that he began a good work and
you would continue today

876
01:05:34,600 --> 01:05:36,840
completion.
It's Philippians chapter one and

877
01:05:36,840 --> 01:05:38,600
Paul says it's why he's in
prison about the Church of

878
01:05:38,600 --> 01:05:40,280
Phillip I.
And you guys know why.

879
01:05:40,280 --> 01:05:43,440
He said, well what is the good
work that he's referring to?

880
01:05:43,440 --> 01:05:46,800
They continue the good work.
It's the gospel going out.

881
01:05:47,590 --> 01:05:50,070
Literally says it very clearly.
The gospel starred, they were

882
01:05:50,070 --> 01:05:51,870
new believers.
They begin to spread it and even

883
01:05:51,870 --> 01:05:54,830
know persecution and suffering.
And he's in prison.

884
01:05:54,950 --> 01:05:56,630
They continue to preach the
gospel.

885
01:05:56,630 --> 01:05:58,790
Amen.
And I'm just telling you in

886
01:05:58,790 --> 01:06:02,670
Colombia, I've been around there
about 10 years and the ministry

887
01:06:02,670 --> 01:06:05,510
that started work coupled with
has been going on almost 50

888
01:06:05,510 --> 01:06:08,630
years and the God has continued
to work in Colombia.

889
01:06:08,630 --> 01:06:10,510
Amen.
And we get to play a part of

890
01:06:10,510 --> 01:06:11,670
that.
I kind of feel like we're like,

891
01:06:11,830 --> 01:06:14,830
I don't know, like spiritual
gold diggers.

892
01:06:14,830 --> 01:06:17,210
Almost right.
Because what God is doing down

893
01:06:17,210 --> 01:06:19,970
there, it is so impressive and
it's so cool to see part of

894
01:06:19,970 --> 01:06:21,810
their story.
And so thank you, Jesus, that we

895
01:06:21,810 --> 01:06:25,210
could even partner with them and
not just for financially, but

896
01:06:25,450 --> 01:06:26,930
just just soul to soul.
Amen.

897
01:06:27,450 --> 01:06:29,490
I mean, we learn more than than
we ever taught.

898
01:06:29,810 --> 01:06:31,170
And you saw that with these
guys.

899
01:06:31,410 --> 01:06:33,530
Which kind of brings me the
second point that the power of

900
01:06:33,530 --> 01:06:37,570
just going on on a trip and and
the power, what did what God did

901
01:06:37,570 --> 01:06:40,090
in us, You know, we always say,
well, we go to Africa and change

902
01:06:40,090 --> 01:06:41,730
Africa.
I mean, across the world, God's

903
01:06:41,730 --> 01:06:43,650
going to change us through this
trip as well.

904
01:06:43,650 --> 01:06:46,010
Amen.
And those I will statements we

905
01:06:46,010 --> 01:06:48,250
get to sit down last Sunday
night and at this time of

906
01:06:48,250 --> 01:06:51,170
debriefing and we call a spec.
You kind of look through some

907
01:06:51,170 --> 01:06:54,370
scripture and we ask you what's
what's a sin to avoid right.

908
01:06:54,890 --> 01:06:58,050
What's a promise of God, what's
an example to follow, what's a

909
01:06:58,050 --> 01:07:00,250
command to obey.
What's a knowledge to obtain.

910
01:07:00,410 --> 01:07:02,370
And we looked across the whole
trip and everything God taught

911
01:07:02,370 --> 01:07:04,970
us and all the teaching all
these pieces and they they wrote

912
01:07:04,970 --> 01:07:08,210
these I will statements And so I
I put these into a little slide

913
01:07:08,530 --> 01:07:10,050
and this is actually missing to
kill people.

914
01:07:10,050 --> 01:07:12,210
But these are statements from
our crew.

915
01:07:12,790 --> 01:07:14,910
Of what God has asked them to
do.

916
01:07:15,230 --> 01:07:17,670
Is that incredible?
I feel like I can preach for six

917
01:07:17,670 --> 01:07:19,750
years and not get that list.
Come on, somebody, right.

918
01:07:20,230 --> 01:07:22,310
I mean, I don't know that's
worth the price of admission.

919
01:07:22,670 --> 01:07:24,590
This.
This trip is about 1800 bucks.

920
01:07:25,310 --> 01:07:26,110
That that's dirt.
Treat.

921
01:07:26,350 --> 01:07:29,190
The food is fantastic.
It is really good.

922
01:07:29,430 --> 01:07:31,470
The people are amazing.
But more than that, God is

923
01:07:31,470 --> 01:07:32,830
moving down there.
Amen.

924
01:07:33,270 --> 01:07:36,180
And he moves in us.
And this is a result of just

925
01:07:36,180 --> 01:07:38,740
showing up and being available.
It was interesting because we

926
01:07:38,740 --> 01:07:41,940
read this book called Before We
Go and it's just a devo and kind

927
01:07:41,940 --> 01:07:44,300
of prepping your expectations
and your heart and all these

928
01:07:44,300 --> 01:07:45,820
things.
And there's a story in about

929
01:07:45,940 --> 01:07:48,380
serving lemonade and that I'm
not going to do, but made the

930
01:07:48,380 --> 01:07:50,460
opportunity to serve lemonade as
laid serves lemonade.

931
01:07:50,460 --> 01:07:52,620
So it's kind of the running joke
being Dennis had like I was

932
01:07:52,620 --> 01:07:54,900
going to serve lemonade, you
know, and I'm telling you over

933
01:07:54,900 --> 01:07:56,900
and over again through trip.
I just looked at Dennis and

934
01:07:56,900 --> 01:07:59,300
said, well, looks like God's got
bigger plans of serving lemonade

935
01:07:59,300 --> 01:08:02,910
on this trip.
Over and over and over.

936
01:08:03,310 --> 01:08:05,190
How many guys have been on an
international mission trip

937
01:08:05,190 --> 01:08:06,950
global missions trip cross
culturally.

938
01:08:07,390 --> 01:08:09,190
Some of you guys live that
right?

939
01:08:10,310 --> 01:08:12,710
It's amazing what God has done.
How many have not been on an

940
01:08:12,830 --> 01:08:15,910
international trip.
All right, all right.

941
01:08:16,189 --> 01:08:18,990
I'm just telling you like
they're just a blessing if you

942
01:08:18,990 --> 01:08:21,470
get a chance to do that.
But God did something in us.

943
01:08:21,670 --> 01:08:24,790
Also, the power of going away
doesn't other people Ugo,

944
01:08:24,790 --> 01:08:26,790
there's a there's a picture
coming up and I got a chance to

945
01:08:26,790 --> 01:08:28,670
do an equipping huddle.
If you're on our team, you're

946
01:08:28,670 --> 01:08:30,700
familiar with.
Sit down and kind of sharpen the

947
01:08:30,700 --> 01:08:33,420
acts and just like just get
heart to heart, soul to soul

948
01:08:33,420 --> 01:08:36,660
conversation on some stuff and I
get a chance to to talk to you.

949
01:08:36,660 --> 01:08:38,460
Go if you don't know who is,
he's the one that's wearing the

950
01:08:38,460 --> 01:08:39,899
Chiefs hat.
Come all somebody.

951
01:08:40,310 --> 01:08:42,470
He's the only Chiefs fan in
Columbia, right?

952
01:08:42,870 --> 01:08:45,069
He's rocking it.
You guys got connections with

953
01:08:45,069 --> 01:08:47,029
some chief stuff.
He would love to have it.

954
01:08:47,510 --> 01:08:50,109
Dude's fantastic.
He actually came up here for

955
01:08:50,109 --> 01:08:53,310
heart and soul last year and he
shared his story and he talked

956
01:08:53,310 --> 01:08:55,590
about the the pain that God had
kind of pruned his life and

957
01:08:55,590 --> 01:08:57,550
taking some things and he shared
that here.

958
01:08:57,750 --> 01:08:59,790
He touched our hearts.
Remember you guys remember Hugo?

959
01:08:59,910 --> 01:09:01,350
Who knows Hugo?
You guys remember Hugo.

960
01:09:01,630 --> 01:09:03,430
A lot of you guys know who go,
all right, so let me just tell

961
01:09:03,430 --> 01:09:05,870
you a quick story.
And we we were down there.

962
01:09:05,870 --> 01:09:08,149
I got a chance to this quipping
huddle and he's in the season

963
01:09:08,149 --> 01:09:10,859
where they don't have the funds.
They lost a huge ministry.

964
01:09:10,859 --> 01:09:13,260
You used to be 20,000 kids going
to camp and the Rollins

965
01:09:13,260 --> 01:09:16,020
Foundation pulled out millions
of dollars and so they lost

966
01:09:16,020 --> 01:09:17,899
their network.
But he has a passion for this

967
01:09:17,899 --> 01:09:21,899
Apple ship and had the school.
There's a lot of things that got

968
01:09:21,899 --> 01:09:23,740
set up on this.
But during the season of like

969
01:09:23,740 --> 01:09:26,260
having to build a network and
get more funds and reach more

970
01:09:26,260 --> 01:09:28,380
people.
And I went down there and

971
01:09:28,380 --> 01:09:30,979
knowing that and I shared a
story out of John 15 about how

972
01:09:31,180 --> 01:09:33,100
he got the fathers of the the
gardener.

973
01:09:33,420 --> 01:09:35,180
He prunes the things.
And if you don't think about

974
01:09:35,380 --> 01:09:38,620
pruning, like if you just grow
and the fruit is small and it's

975
01:09:38,620 --> 01:09:40,850
bitter.
But if you prune it, you create

976
01:09:40,850 --> 01:09:43,970
more fruit and healthier fruit.
And I was just talking to to

977
01:09:43,970 --> 01:09:46,930
Hugo and the guys, Albero, all
these other pastors and just

978
01:09:46,930 --> 01:09:48,290
pulling into the things of
Christ.

979
01:09:48,490 --> 01:09:49,970
And he came to me.
He said this the last year I

980
01:09:49,970 --> 01:09:52,810
went to your church in Kansas
City and God spoke through me to

981
01:09:52,810 --> 01:09:55,330
your people and encouraged them.
And this is tears rolled down

982
01:09:55,330 --> 01:09:58,370
space and said this year you
guys come here and spoke to me

983
01:09:58,730 --> 01:10:00,930
and he he just bawling and he's
put his arms around me.

984
01:10:00,930 --> 01:10:03,290
And I'm just telling you we had
a we had a chance to make a

985
01:10:03,290 --> 01:10:06,610
difference in people's lives.
Amen to sharpen the leaders down

986
01:10:06,610 --> 01:10:08,410
there that really need the
encouragement.

987
01:10:08,780 --> 01:10:10,620
Well, the coolest things that I
want to see happen, this is

988
01:10:10,620 --> 01:10:13,980
really vision on my heart is
that he gets to open a a a

989
01:10:13,980 --> 01:10:18,340
check, a statement, I should say
that says, hey, real life,

990
01:10:18,340 --> 01:10:21,820
church is funding you with a
good amount of money.

991
01:10:21,820 --> 01:10:24,140
Amen.
Because that guy's making a

992
01:10:24,140 --> 01:10:26,940
difference for souls.
I I feel like I'm on the

993
01:10:26,940 --> 01:10:29,060
coattails of some of these guys.
You know, I'm looking up to

994
01:10:29,060 --> 01:10:30,300
them.
I'm trying to chase down the

995
01:10:30,300 --> 01:10:31,820
things that God's doing in your
life.

996
01:10:32,340 --> 01:10:34,260
And so I would encourage you
guys to play a part of the store

997
01:10:34,260 --> 01:10:36,870
that God's riding.
We talked about Philippians 4.

998
01:10:37,030 --> 01:10:38,830
We would be a lot of Philippians
today, right?

999
01:10:39,230 --> 01:10:42,150
But Philippians 4:15, and it's
just very powerful passage and

1000
01:10:42,150 --> 01:10:43,950
I'll just repart of it.
It says, Moreover, as the

1001
01:10:44,150 --> 01:10:46,630
Philippians know, this is Paul
talk in the church there in the

1002
01:10:46,630 --> 01:10:48,550
early days of your acquaintance
of the gospel when you were

1003
01:10:48,550 --> 01:10:51,430
first Christians, when you were
new believers, When I set out

1004
01:10:51,430 --> 01:10:54,230
from Macedonia, not one church
share with me in the matter of

1005
01:10:54,230 --> 01:10:59,390
giving and receiving, except for
you, the Philippian Church was

1006
01:10:59,390 --> 01:11:01,910
the one church.
Just think about that.

1007
01:11:02,390 --> 01:11:04,150
Wouldn't you would like to be
the one church?

1008
01:11:05,020 --> 01:11:07,500
Here's the only church that
support give and received to

1009
01:11:07,500 --> 01:11:09,420
Paul, he said.
For even when I was in

1010
01:11:09,420 --> 01:11:12,780
Thessalonica you sent me even
more and more than once when I

1011
01:11:12,780 --> 01:11:14,500
was in need.
If you know the book of Acts,

1012
01:11:14,540 --> 01:11:15,820
man.
He was chased out Thessanica in

1013
01:11:15,820 --> 01:11:19,460
a hard way.
He was chased being persecuted

1014
01:11:19,460 --> 01:11:22,940
for the gospel And this church,
the Philippian Church was the

1015
01:11:22,940 --> 01:11:25,580
one church, he says.
I don't really desire a gift for

1016
01:11:25,580 --> 01:11:26,620
me.
This is Philippians for he's

1017
01:11:26,620 --> 01:11:28,540
he's wrapping this up.
He says I'm not asking for

1018
01:11:28,540 --> 01:11:30,340
something, but I want you to.
I want you to receive something.

1019
01:11:30,700 --> 01:11:33,260
I desire that.
That it more be credit to your

1020
01:11:33,260 --> 01:11:35,300
account.
I I want you to get the glory.

1021
01:11:35,580 --> 01:11:38,780
And I think they did because
this is forever like in stone

1022
01:11:38,780 --> 01:11:42,900
and engraved in the Bible for
all eternity that the Philippian

1023
01:11:42,900 --> 01:11:45,300
church was the one church that
gave Amen.

1024
01:11:45,940 --> 01:11:48,900
And so they get some credit.
He wants to them to get the gift

1025
01:11:48,900 --> 01:11:51,620
and the blessing and the reward
and the diligence, the things

1026
01:11:51,620 --> 01:11:53,900
all God has for him by thanking
them.

1027
01:11:53,900 --> 01:11:55,820
He said that you supplied
everything for me.

1028
01:11:56,260 --> 01:11:57,780
He goes I'm I've received full
payment.

1029
01:11:57,780 --> 01:12:00,170
I I have.
More than enough I've able

1030
01:12:00,170 --> 01:12:04,770
supply now received from a
paphroditis the gifts you sent

1031
01:12:04,770 --> 01:12:06,250
me.
Not only paphroditis was sent to

1032
01:12:06,250 --> 01:12:08,410
him, but they came with a gift
to Paul.

1033
01:12:09,050 --> 01:12:11,250
They say it was a this how you
describe that gift and this is

1034
01:12:11,250 --> 01:12:12,970
what happens when you give to
these guys.

1035
01:12:13,650 --> 01:12:17,630
It's a fragrant offering, right?
It's acceptable sacrifice.

1036
01:12:17,630 --> 01:12:19,950
It's pleasing to God.
There's a promise that maybe

1037
01:12:19,950 --> 01:12:21,870
you've heard preached before,
but here's the context of the

1038
01:12:21,870 --> 01:12:24,150
promise.
This context, this next verse

1039
01:12:24,390 --> 01:12:27,510
comes to the fact that this
church had given to him, had

1040
01:12:27,510 --> 01:12:29,990
blessed him, had said the best
to him.

1041
01:12:30,150 --> 01:12:33,270
And he says this is Flippian
church in verse 19 and said, and

1042
01:12:33,270 --> 01:12:36,430
my God will meet all your deeds
according to the richest of his

1043
01:12:36,430 --> 01:12:40,390
glory in Christ Jesus.
We preach that verse like come

1044
01:12:40,390 --> 01:12:43,630
on God, give me something, but
this isn't the context of

1045
01:12:43,630 --> 01:12:45,310
because you gave and supported
me.

1046
01:12:45,700 --> 01:12:48,940
God's promise is he'll give and
support you and you'll be

1047
01:12:48,940 --> 01:12:51,420
blessed in all ways maybe not
financially but he will take

1048
01:12:51,420 --> 01:12:52,300
care of you.
Amen.

1049
01:12:52,860 --> 01:12:54,740
And so I just think about this
and I think man, I want to be

1050
01:12:54,740 --> 01:12:56,180
that church.
Amen.

1051
01:12:56,980 --> 01:13:01,740
I'll be the one church you guys
feel me today be the one church

1052
01:13:02,140 --> 01:13:04,860
that that that gets behind and
serves and goes and makes a

1053
01:13:04,860 --> 01:13:08,420
difference has in Kingdom impact
for the cause of Christ.

1054
01:13:08,820 --> 01:13:10,740
And so today I know what God's
asking you to do.

1055
01:13:10,740 --> 01:13:12,900
I can't imagine that you sat
through listening to these

1056
01:13:12,900 --> 01:13:15,960
stories and.
Assault these people that had no

1057
01:13:15,960 --> 01:13:18,960
idea they're getting into some
of them and said yes to Jesus

1058
01:13:18,960 --> 01:13:21,680
and served him and followed him.
That God isn't speaking to you

1059
01:13:21,680 --> 01:13:23,440
today.
Maybe walked in, had no idea

1060
01:13:23,440 --> 01:13:25,800
what you're walking into.
And you just know, man, God must

1061
01:13:25,800 --> 01:13:28,360
be real because look what he's
doing across the world and even

1062
01:13:28,360 --> 01:13:31,720
here today through these people.
And so I know what God's asking

1063
01:13:31,720 --> 01:13:35,080
you to do, but I know God's
asking you to follow him, to be

1064
01:13:35,080 --> 01:13:38,200
submissive to him being to him
and say yes to whatever he has

1065
01:13:38,200 --> 01:13:40,080
for you today.
It's always going to have you

1066
01:13:40,080 --> 01:13:41,640
guys close your eyes and bow
your heads.

1067
01:13:42,800 --> 01:13:44,520
I'll also talk to you guys that
are Jesus followers in the

1068
01:13:44,520 --> 01:13:46,800
house.
Those that you know Jesus may

1069
01:13:46,800 --> 01:13:48,320
know Jews for a long time.
Maybe the starless.

1070
01:13:48,360 --> 01:13:50,920
But Jesus last week and how do
you say you know what God just

1071
01:13:50,920 --> 01:13:54,840
stern in me a little passion to
be part of this thing called

1072
01:13:54,840 --> 01:13:57,880
global missions.
God stirred me a passion to to

1073
01:13:57,880 --> 01:13:59,760
pray fervently for the things of
Christ.

1074
01:13:59,960 --> 01:14:02,880
The church in Phillip High was
held together by prayer and the

1075
01:14:02,880 --> 01:14:05,400
Holy Spirit working through
those people.

1076
01:14:05,600 --> 01:14:06,840
This kept in ground in their
faith.

1077
01:14:06,840 --> 01:14:09,120
We could pray for these people
overseas.

1078
01:14:09,640 --> 01:14:12,280
Maybe God stern in you the
ability to to give.

1079
01:14:12,970 --> 01:14:14,010
Maybe you're saying, you know
what?

1080
01:14:14,010 --> 01:14:15,810
I can see myself going one of
these trips down the road.

1081
01:14:15,810 --> 01:14:18,010
I don't know what God has for
me, but I'm willing to do what

1082
01:14:18,010 --> 01:14:19,010
it is.
How many days?

1083
01:14:19,010 --> 01:14:19,570
Say it today?
God.

1084
01:14:19,570 --> 01:14:21,170
Just stirring something hard
about global missions.

1085
01:14:21,170 --> 01:14:22,010
You guys put your hands in
there.

1086
01:14:22,010 --> 01:14:24,010
If that's you, come all across
this room.

1087
01:14:24,410 --> 01:14:25,810
Nobody's looking around.
I'm going to call you out.

1088
01:14:25,810 --> 01:14:27,170
Say, come put those hands high.
If that's you.

1089
01:14:27,170 --> 01:14:28,970
Don't be bold today.
Be bold.

1090
01:14:28,970 --> 01:14:31,130
The things of Christ.
And I see your hands all across

1091
01:14:31,130 --> 01:14:32,170
the room.
Father.

1092
01:14:32,170 --> 01:14:34,290
You see the hands, man.
Bless God.

1093
01:14:34,290 --> 01:14:37,410
Let's get perspective.
Let's get gospel truth on this

1094
01:14:37,410 --> 01:14:39,850
thing of missions.
Let's be a light.

1095
01:14:40,560 --> 01:14:42,080
That shines bright across the
world.

1096
01:14:42,400 --> 01:14:44,360
Let us be able to send our best
Jesus.

1097
01:14:44,600 --> 01:14:46,160
We just call people out of here
to go.

1098
01:14:46,720 --> 01:14:49,240
Call people to encourage and
strengthen and stand up and

1099
01:14:49,440 --> 01:14:50,600
maybe don't know where they're
going to go.

1100
01:14:50,600 --> 01:14:52,520
They don't know how they get
there, but God, they have you.

1101
01:14:53,280 --> 01:14:55,360
And that's enough.
Today, I pray for one group of

1102
01:14:55,360 --> 01:14:56,760
people, and that's those of you
who say, you know what, that

1103
01:14:56,760 --> 01:14:57,920
mission is tripping around the
world.

1104
01:14:58,200 --> 01:14:59,880
But guess what?
That gospel came to me today.

1105
01:15:00,720 --> 01:15:05,280
I'm the mission today.
I'm the reason for Jesus today.

1106
01:15:05,280 --> 01:15:06,960
I'm the reason for this meeting
today.

1107
01:15:07,520 --> 01:15:08,840
The gospel is making good sense
to you now.

1108
01:15:08,880 --> 01:15:11,760
You've seen the power of Christ,
just talked about why we serve

1109
01:15:11,760 --> 01:15:13,280
others and Philippians chapter
2.

1110
01:15:13,280 --> 01:15:16,200
And it goes on the talk about
Jesus, how he humbled himself

1111
01:15:16,200 --> 01:15:19,120
and took upon reputation and
wrapped himself in your man.

1112
01:15:19,120 --> 01:15:23,160
He lowered his characters of of
who he is and and all the

1113
01:15:23,160 --> 01:15:25,560
divinity and he lowered him,
becoming human and he became

1114
01:15:25,840 --> 01:15:27,560
obedient, even the death of the
cross.

1115
01:15:27,560 --> 01:15:30,360
And he died for our sins.
That's the good news of the

1116
01:15:30,360 --> 01:15:33,640
gospel, that you were helpless.
Jesus died for us.

1117
01:15:33,640 --> 01:15:36,400
There's nothing we could do on
our own apart from what God has

1118
01:15:36,400 --> 01:15:38,420
done.
So they may recognize you need

1119
01:15:38,420 --> 01:15:40,780
Jesus.
You need that good news that

1120
01:15:40,780 --> 01:15:43,900
Christie shared that we all walk
through, we all talked about

1121
01:15:43,900 --> 01:15:45,860
today.
You need forgiveness.

1122
01:15:45,980 --> 01:15:48,420
There's one moment in your life
make that decision where Holy

1123
01:15:48,420 --> 01:15:51,500
Spirit comes in you that you're
changed forever in the power

1124
01:15:51,500 --> 01:15:54,220
Christ is put into your life.
The Holy Spirit.

1125
01:15:54,420 --> 01:15:57,020
And today me recognize man.
I need what what?

1126
01:15:57,020 --> 01:15:58,660
What I'm hearing today.
I need the gospel.

1127
01:15:59,180 --> 01:16:01,060
So battle says today's your
dad's a day of salvation.

1128
01:16:01,060 --> 01:16:02,620
And because they more shall be
saved.

1129
01:16:03,110 --> 01:16:04,390
So I just want to give this
invitation to you.

1130
01:16:04,390 --> 01:16:06,590
God be looking around.
I can call you out if you say

1131
01:16:06,590 --> 01:16:08,750
you know what I need Jesus.
I need forgiveness.

1132
01:16:09,070 --> 01:16:12,390
I am the mission today.
I recognize this trip around the

1133
01:16:12,390 --> 01:16:13,910
world.
But this trip was for me.

1134
01:16:14,070 --> 01:16:16,230
This trip isn't over yet.
We just raise your hands.

1135
01:16:16,230 --> 01:16:17,990
I need Jesus.
So that's you today and nobody

1136
01:16:17,990 --> 01:16:19,150
looking around.
Put your hand high.

1137
01:16:19,590 --> 01:16:21,230
Maybe you're online.
So I need Jesus.

1138
01:16:21,670 --> 01:16:24,430
Come on and be like that today.
What spiritual is moving through

1139
01:16:24,430 --> 01:16:26,510
you?
Well that's you that's asking

1140
01:16:26,510 --> 01:16:29,910
you to pray as per and say
Father God thanks so much for

1141
01:16:29,910 --> 01:16:32,070
bringing Jesus.
Rushed around the world but to

1142
01:16:32,070 --> 01:16:33,910
me today.
God forgive me.

1143
01:16:33,910 --> 01:16:35,870
God make me new.
God change me from the inside

1144
01:16:35,870 --> 01:16:38,150
out that you could have my life.
I want to serve you.

1145
01:16:38,830 --> 01:16:41,710
God call me.
I'm willing to go and pray this

1146
01:16:41,710 --> 01:16:43,510
in Jesus name.
Amen.

1147
01:16:43,510 --> 01:16:45,270
Come on, give it up for crisis
during the day.

1148
01:16:45,270 --> 01:16:52,270
Come on, we're going to be late
today.

1149
01:16:53,680 --> 01:16:54,760
It's just going to be what it
is.

1150
01:16:54,800 --> 01:16:58,520
So, but I I would encourage you
guys to play play part of the

1151
01:16:58,520 --> 01:17:00,080
story.
If we came to Jesus today on

1152
01:17:00,080 --> 01:17:01,560
your connection card, just let
us know.

1153
01:17:01,560 --> 01:17:04,280
Give me life to Jesus.
Make part of the family God and

1154
01:17:04,720 --> 01:17:05,880
encourage you in your first
steps.

1155
01:17:05,880 --> 01:17:08,240
Don't you just do this alone?
Don't you feel like you're on

1156
01:17:08,240 --> 01:17:09,760
your own, isolated?
We have a book we're going to

1157
01:17:09,760 --> 01:17:12,160
mail you, so if you just turn
that card in, it'll help you the

1158
01:17:12,160 --> 01:17:14,400
first step with Jesus.
We also have something very

1159
01:17:14,400 --> 01:17:16,720
special coming up.
We have baptism.

1160
01:17:16,720 --> 01:17:18,600
We're turning 6 years old next
month.

1161
01:17:18,600 --> 01:17:21,000
Do you guys believe that your
life is 6?

1162
01:17:21,000 --> 01:17:23,750
Come on.
It would have thought that we'd

1163
01:17:23,750 --> 01:17:26,310
be 6 years old.
But baptism, If you never

1164
01:17:26,310 --> 01:17:28,670
baptized, you know Jesus is Lord
and Savior.

1165
01:17:28,670 --> 01:17:30,310
I would encourage you to get
signed up online.

1166
01:17:30,750 --> 01:17:33,470
It's just gonna be incredible
time of what God's gonna do.

1167
01:17:34,310 --> 01:17:36,150
In your life.
And it's just basically saying

1168
01:17:36,150 --> 01:17:38,390
I'm all in for Jesus.
It's a really picture of what

1169
01:17:38,390 --> 01:17:39,670
Jesus did in you and he came to
him.

1170
01:17:39,910 --> 01:17:41,550
You're actually baptized the
Holy Spirit.

1171
01:17:42,030 --> 01:17:44,830
You're baptized through Jesus.
And so when you baptize the

1172
01:17:44,830 --> 01:17:46,270
water, she's a picture of Christ
in your life.

1173
01:17:46,270 --> 01:17:47,990
And so we got four people signed
up already.

1174
01:17:48,310 --> 01:17:50,230
And so I would encourage you to
be apart what God's doing.

1175
01:17:50,950 --> 01:17:52,950
I'd also say this today if
you're interested in going on a

1176
01:17:52,950 --> 01:17:57,150
trip in the future.
We have a trip coming in next

1177
01:17:57,150 --> 01:17:59,150
year, next summer.
We're still lying out, dates to

1178
01:17:59,150 --> 01:18:01,790
go to Columbia, but I encourage
you let us know.

1179
01:18:02,110 --> 01:18:04,190
We'll start praying for you.
We'll give some ideas how to

1180
01:18:04,190 --> 01:18:06,550
raise funds, but you're
basically looking at 1800 bucks,

1181
01:18:06,550 --> 01:18:09,750
$2000 Max.
It is absolutely incredible what

1182
01:18:09,750 --> 01:18:11,870
God can do.
And so man started saving them

1183
01:18:11,870 --> 01:18:12,990
money.
Pray about coming if you've

1184
01:18:12,990 --> 01:18:14,750
never been.
We love taking new people on the

1185
01:18:14,750 --> 01:18:16,190
trip.
I know we've had about 20 of us

1186
01:18:16,190 --> 01:18:18,230
have gone to Columbia in the
past, but I encourage you to

1187
01:18:18,270 --> 01:18:21,030
play a part of the story.
I also encourage you this.

1188
01:18:21,470 --> 01:18:24,070
We didn't move from day to week
when it comes to missions, you

1189
01:18:24,070 --> 01:18:25,310
know.
How did you guys say they went

1190
01:18:25,310 --> 01:18:27,390
to Colombia?
They prayed, they went, they did

1191
01:18:27,390 --> 01:18:29,550
this stuff, They preached.
But I encourage it.

1192
01:18:29,790 --> 01:18:31,590
We need maybe switched up to say
we did that.

1193
01:18:31,590 --> 01:18:33,470
Amen.
Like I played a part of the

1194
01:18:33,470 --> 01:18:35,950
story.
Like I gave to this.

1195
01:18:36,310 --> 01:18:39,950
Like I served in this.
Or like I sent somebody on this.

1196
01:18:39,950 --> 01:18:42,110
I was really into it.
I gave towards the thanks of

1197
01:18:42,110 --> 01:18:44,350
Christ.
So I would encourage you to to

1198
01:18:44,350 --> 01:18:46,470
shift that mentality.
There's two ways to do it.

1199
01:18:46,470 --> 01:18:50,430
One is crash course that's going
down today at 2:00 over the Hope

1200
01:18:50,430 --> 01:18:53,310
center is me Diane's Mercru.
It really just connects to

1201
01:18:53,310 --> 01:18:55,030
connect but plug you into the
mission.

1202
01:18:55,030 --> 01:18:57,470
God's purpose to you.
He's giving you gifts and

1203
01:18:57,470 --> 01:18:59,750
talents and we just going to
help you plug it into the things

1204
01:18:59,750 --> 01:19:03,150
of Christ here locally in our
city and our church.

1205
01:19:03,790 --> 01:19:05,670
But also what you do this and
this is something we've really

1206
01:19:05,670 --> 01:19:09,150
never asked our church but we've
never really put this this kind

1207
01:19:09,150 --> 01:19:11,230
of burden or wait or call on
your shoulders.

1208
01:19:11,230 --> 01:19:12,870
But I'm going to ask you guys
this today this is.

1209
01:19:13,190 --> 01:19:15,870
Had the biggest take away today.
I'm going to invite you guys to

1210
01:19:15,870 --> 01:19:19,270
go global with us, to partner
with us together for the things

1211
01:19:19,270 --> 01:19:21,150
of Christ.
Who knows prayer makes a

1212
01:19:21,150 --> 01:19:23,190
difference.
You guys believe that today?

1213
01:19:24,030 --> 01:19:25,190
Who?
Who knows going makes a

1214
01:19:25,190 --> 01:19:26,390
difference.
You guys believe that today?

1215
01:19:27,350 --> 01:19:29,070
Well, yeah, I love that you can
keep it up.

1216
01:19:29,590 --> 01:19:32,630
But I'll also say this giving
makes a difference.

1217
01:19:32,630 --> 01:19:36,230
You guys believe that we get
excited about that.

1218
01:19:36,830 --> 01:19:39,630
We need we need be like a
mission sending church.

1219
01:19:40,110 --> 01:19:41,230
Like it's not about how many sit
here.

1220
01:19:41,230 --> 01:19:43,800
It's something we send.
So I would invite you to be part

1221
01:19:43,800 --> 01:19:46,080
of the vision that really God's
put on my heart and our heart

1222
01:19:46,600 --> 01:19:49,560
for missions.
We we love to fund what God's

1223
01:19:49,560 --> 01:19:52,560
doing in Columbia.
We have a vision to give $2500 a

1224
01:19:52,560 --> 01:19:56,040
month to Columbia.
We want to support Hugo in his

1225
01:19:56,040 --> 01:19:58,680
ministry 1500 a month.
We want to give this stops with

1226
01:19:58,680 --> 01:20:00,600
school.
We want to see more kids or

1227
01:20:00,600 --> 01:20:04,480
young people be trained for the
gospel God for Christ that that

1228
01:20:04,480 --> 01:20:07,040
allows that to happen.
Matter fact I was I was leaving

1229
01:20:07,040 --> 01:20:08,970
there.
And Scott told me this.

1230
01:20:08,970 --> 01:20:10,690
He's the missionary that's
connected to all those pieces.

1231
01:20:10,930 --> 01:20:15,250
He said they have the people,
they don't have the money and

1232
01:20:15,250 --> 01:20:18,290
they want to do this and this.
I mean, I don't know about you.

1233
01:20:18,290 --> 01:20:19,850
I love Hugo.
You guys love Hugo.

1234
01:20:20,090 --> 01:20:23,130
We can get behind this.
There's a Man of School project

1235
01:20:23,130 --> 01:20:24,770
that's before and after school.
It meets one day a week.

1236
01:20:24,770 --> 01:20:27,450
We can make it two days a week,
$250 a month.

1237
01:20:28,320 --> 01:20:31,960
What's incredible when you give
to Columbia, and it it may be a

1238
01:20:31,960 --> 01:20:35,040
little selfish reason, but every
dollar is worth four times more

1239
01:20:35,040 --> 01:20:37,040
at Columbia.
So if we give $30,000 at

1240
01:20:37,040 --> 01:20:40,320
Columbia this year just saves
120,000, that incredible.

1241
01:20:41,200 --> 01:20:43,720
I mean I'm just telling you, but
that just the souls that we're

1242
01:20:43,720 --> 01:20:46,480
reaching down for the cause of
Christ, like we can play a part

1243
01:20:46,480 --> 01:20:48,080
of that.
And so I'm asking to do is go

1244
01:20:48,080 --> 01:20:49,720
above and beyond what you
normally give.

1245
01:20:49,960 --> 01:20:53,570
There's a cue on your screen and
be generous to the things of

1246
01:20:53,570 --> 01:20:55,170
Christ.
Some of you guys can write a

1247
01:20:55,170 --> 01:20:57,090
check and say, man, you're not
going to miss this.

1248
01:20:57,250 --> 01:21:00,010
And then next year we come back
as we give updates on Columbia.

1249
01:21:00,010 --> 01:21:01,730
You can be like, I sowed seed in
that.

1250
01:21:01,730 --> 01:21:04,570
Amen.
I played a part of that story

1251
01:21:04,570 --> 01:21:06,850
and I'm telling you, it's a good
investment for the Kingdom of

1252
01:21:06,850 --> 01:21:08,770
Christ.
And things got to do.

1253
01:21:09,010 --> 01:21:11,010
And so we need to learn how to
be generous.

1254
01:21:11,450 --> 01:21:14,330
That's one of the I ams, right?
Like, I didn't get out all week.

1255
01:21:14,330 --> 01:21:15,850
I had nothing.
I didn't cook at home all week.

1256
01:21:15,850 --> 01:21:17,770
Come on, somebody.
Because I'm like dude, I can

1257
01:21:17,770 --> 01:21:20,950
give more towards missions.
So for us like we're multiplying

1258
01:21:20,950 --> 01:21:23,270
things in Christ and willing to
give towards this.

1259
01:21:23,270 --> 01:21:26,470
I'm going to invite you to play
part of the story, invite you to

1260
01:21:26,470 --> 01:21:28,590
play a part of the story what
God's writing internationally.

1261
01:21:28,950 --> 01:21:30,190
And so this is kind of an all
skate.

1262
01:21:30,390 --> 01:21:32,270
If you're new to church, I would
say church is free.

1263
01:21:32,270 --> 01:21:34,030
Amen.
And we're talking about money.

1264
01:21:34,390 --> 01:21:36,110
But if you're new to church,
church is free.

1265
01:21:36,310 --> 01:21:38,750
But if you are calling to life
home today, there was four ways

1266
01:21:38,750 --> 01:21:41,230
to give.
Come on, somebody, not three.

1267
01:21:41,630 --> 01:21:45,000
There was four ways online text
buckets pass.

1268
01:21:45,000 --> 01:21:46,440
That's where connection cards as
well.

1269
01:21:46,920 --> 01:21:48,520
But you can give through this
QR.

1270
01:21:48,520 --> 01:21:50,040
There's also a drop down for
missions.

1271
01:21:50,320 --> 01:21:52,040
Now how challenge you guys give
to missions.

1272
01:21:52,040 --> 01:21:54,080
Amen.
Don't hold back.

1273
01:21:54,080 --> 01:21:56,640
It doesn't matter the amount
it's your heart to give it.

1274
01:21:57,040 --> 01:21:58,720
God will bless it.
God will use it.

1275
01:21:58,960 --> 01:22:00,840
And some of you guys just need
to open your heart's neurosity

1276
01:22:00,840 --> 01:22:02,800
and say man, I can see God
moving here.

1277
01:22:03,080 --> 01:22:06,910
And if you don't know exactly
what to give and pray and ask

1278
01:22:06,910 --> 01:22:09,030
God.
And when he tells you, just be

1279
01:22:09,030 --> 01:22:10,190
faithful what God asks you to
do.

1280
01:22:10,230 --> 01:22:12,150
That's all.
That's all we ask him in and

1281
01:22:12,150 --> 01:22:14,430
we'll move with the vision of
what you guys move.

1282
01:22:14,670 --> 01:22:17,910
Our vision is 30,000 a year.
Right now we don't have 30,000

1283
01:22:17,950 --> 01:22:20,270
Okay.
But we'll give as God lead you

1284
01:22:20,270 --> 01:22:22,270
to give.
And we'll multiply that and give

1285
01:22:22,270 --> 01:22:24,390
it to those people to make a
difference.

1286
01:22:24,390 --> 01:22:26,030
And I really want to make a huge
impact.

1287
01:22:26,030 --> 01:22:28,990
I want Hugo and those guys to be
like you're thanking Jesus for

1288
01:22:28,990 --> 01:22:30,030
real life.
I've known these guys for a

1289
01:22:30,030 --> 01:22:32,110
decade.
I will stand behind them.

1290
01:22:32,150 --> 01:22:34,350
I'd put them as the next pastor
if they spoke English.

1291
01:22:34,350 --> 01:22:36,720
Come on, somebody believe what
they're doing.

1292
01:22:36,720 --> 01:22:39,120
And so let's get behind that for
the cause of Christ.

1293
01:22:39,600 --> 01:22:42,000
And so today, if you got the
catch start, drop it in.

1294
01:22:42,040 --> 01:22:43,840
As always.
If you need food, clothing,

1295
01:22:43,840 --> 01:22:45,520
shelter for your family, your
friend need.

1296
01:22:45,520 --> 01:22:47,000
Reach in and take it for you
guys.

1297
01:22:47,240 --> 01:22:48,400
And I'll pray and we'll be out
of here.

1298
01:22:48,400 --> 01:22:51,040
Father God, thanks so much for
what you're doing today.

1299
01:22:51,040 --> 01:22:53,640
God, we love you.
God, we thank you for who you

1300
01:22:53,640 --> 01:22:55,800
are and just bless us giving
God.

1301
01:22:55,800 --> 01:22:58,840
If you have a heart for you, God
bless this time as we continue

1302
01:22:58,840 --> 01:23:01,640
to to worship you and follow you
with our generosity and praise

1303
01:23:01,640 --> 01:23:02,280
Jesus.
Name.

1304
01:23:03,320 --> 01:23:04,520
Amen.
Leave us out here, Drew.

1305
01:23:04,520 --> 01:23:06,080
Amen.
All right, real life.

1306
01:23:06,080 --> 01:23:08,280
Let's get Bulls for mission
starting today.

1307
01:23:08,280 --> 01:23:09,880
There we go.
Coming in, hot, man.

1308
01:23:09,880 --> 01:23:12,360
I am excited to see what God
does through our church for

1309
01:23:12,360 --> 01:23:14,920
missions next year.
I'm excited to invite you to

1310
01:23:14,920 --> 01:23:18,200
come back next week as we
continue that series, asking for

1311
01:23:18,200 --> 01:23:21,000
a friend diving into a really
tough question.

1312
01:23:21,000 --> 01:23:24,800
This idea of, you know, why does
God ask us to forgive people

1313
01:23:24,800 --> 01:23:27,600
who've taken advantage of us,
even if they don't even care

1314
01:23:27,600 --> 01:23:28,960
that they did it in the 1st
place?

1315
01:23:29,440 --> 01:23:31,440
Tell you what, there's a lot of
pain in that question.

1316
01:23:31,680 --> 01:23:33,680
But even more important than
that, there's a lot of healing

1317
01:23:34,000 --> 01:23:36,160
that can go through that.
So I want you to come back and

1318
01:23:36,160 --> 01:23:38,640
find out more about that as Sean
leads us through an awesome

1319
01:23:38,840 --> 01:23:41,880
message of asking for a friend.
If you need prayer this morning,

1320
01:23:42,080 --> 01:23:43,400
we'd love to pray with you
upfront.

1321
01:23:43,400 --> 01:23:45,200
So come on down here.
We'd love to pray over you and

1322
01:23:45,200 --> 01:23:48,600
your situation this week, and
we'll see you next week at 9:30

1323
01:23:48,600 --> 01:23:51,240
or 11.
Remember, whoever finds Jesus

1324
01:23:51,400 --> 01:23:55,240
discovers real life and purpose.
Have a great week,

1325
01:24:05,800 --> 01:24:08,600
