WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.080
 Well, thank you for allowing me to come back.

00:00:02.080 --> 00:00:10.480
 I want to thank Pastor Smith and his faithfulness and his commitment to the Lord Jesus Christ

00:00:10.480 --> 00:00:13.839
! and to our ministry over in Burkina Faso.

00:00:13.839 --> 00:00:16.480
 And I do praise the Lord for that.

00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:20.640
 I believe that this church had taken us on when Brother Inman was here,

00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:25.120
 back when we were on deputation several years ago.

00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:28.400
 And I do thank you for that.

00:00:28.399 --> 00:00:32.399
 I want my wife to stand because she's the better half if she would stand.

00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:39.359
 This is my faithful help me for 42 plus years and God has blessed us.

00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:45.679
 And I thank the Lord for someone like her as my help me.

00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:49.840
 Okay.

00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:55.200
 On the table, there's a little brochure doesn't mean anything,

00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:57.520
 but basically it's just nothing but pictures.

00:00:57.520 --> 00:00:59.680
 And you're more than welcome to take that.

00:01:00.720 --> 00:01:05.120
 I wish I can give you all kinds of pictures, but I can't do it.

00:01:05.120 --> 00:01:13.680
 And then when we talk about pictures, we always want to stop and talk about something that we had done in relationship to them.

00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:18.240
 And I've had missionaries that would show their slides.

00:01:18.240 --> 00:01:20.400
 And before you know it, this is three hours later.

00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:25.520
 They're still talking because every picture has a story attached to it.

00:01:28.720 --> 00:01:32.320
 Now, I'm not sure how many people had heard me before.

00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:35.559
 How many people have been here with me before?

00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:37.319
 Okay.

00:01:37.479 --> 00:01:38.319
 So there's a few.

00:01:39.119 --> 00:01:43.919
 So if you find these stories repetitive, it's by design.

00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:50.319
 There are all kinds of stories.

00:01:51.119 --> 00:01:53.759
 There are all kinds of illustrations.

00:01:53.760 --> 00:02:02.180
 And the point of the stories, the points of these illustrations is to show you how God actually works.

00:02:03.140 --> 00:02:09.319
 Because the truth of the matter is, it has nothing to do with the missionary and everything to do with the grace of God.

00:02:10.379 --> 00:02:17.420
 And, you know, people say, well, the missionaries, the whatever.

00:02:17.419 --> 00:02:21.639
 And the truth is, I love what I'm doing.

00:02:22.559 --> 00:02:24.560
 I wouldn't want to do anything different.

00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:26.679
 So when people say, well, missionaries really suffer.

00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:27.839
 Not me.

00:02:28.979 --> 00:02:32.560
 I certainly enjoy what God has called me to.

00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:35.560
 And I would not want to do anything else.

00:02:36.099 --> 00:02:38.979
 And I know my wife feels the same way.

00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:44.879
 So turn in your Bibles to 2 Corinthians chapter number 1.

00:02:44.939 --> 00:02:46.619
 And I just want to give you a couple verses.

00:02:46.620 --> 00:02:49.039
 And then another one in Ecclesiastes.

00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:55.020
 And then basically share with you what we're doing in Burkina Faso.

00:02:55.620 --> 00:02:57.860
 And what we continue to do.

00:02:58.640 --> 00:03:03.319
 And it's the same thing that what we as Christians ought to do right here in Lincoln, Nebraska.

00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:07.080
 And what we ought to do all over America.

00:03:07.500 --> 00:03:08.620
 And all over the world.

00:03:09.460 --> 00:03:13.319
 The truth of the matter is, if Christianity is in trouble,

00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:19.900
 it's because Christians are not fulfilling what God had called them to do.

00:03:20.239 --> 00:03:22.699
 And I'll talk about that in Sunday school.

00:03:23.359 --> 00:03:27.000
 But 2 Corinthians chapter number 1.

00:03:27.939 --> 00:03:29.400
 Look at verse number 3.

00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:36.219
 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies,

00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:38.719
 and a God of all comfort.

00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:42.640
 God is a God of all comfort.

00:03:43.300 --> 00:03:43.939
 Is he not?

00:03:43.939 --> 00:03:48.460
 Now this verse is written to who?

00:03:48.639 --> 00:03:49.280
 To us.

00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:52.579
 It's also written to Burkina Bay.

00:03:54.039 --> 00:03:55.599
 It's written to Chinese.

00:03:56.659 --> 00:03:59.520
 It's written to every single person in the world.

00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:05.199
 He is the God of all comfort for me, for you, and for all others.

00:04:05.199 --> 00:04:09.839
 And sometimes we don't really comprehend that.

00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:12.079
 Look at verse number 4.

00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:18.319
 Who, that is the God of all comfort, comforted us in all our tribulation.

00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:19.860
 Do we go through tribulation?

00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:22.180
 Who doesn't go through tribulation?

00:04:22.439 --> 00:04:23.459
 I think we all do.

00:04:24.899 --> 00:04:28.259
 Job said, man that is born of a woman is full of trouble.

00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:30.419
 Is that not true?

00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:32.319
 If you're married, you're full of trouble.

00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:39.560
 So, we live in a sin-saturated world.

00:04:41.060 --> 00:04:45.600
 We live in a body that is sin-saturated.

00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:51.019
 And so, certainly we're going to go through all kinds of trouble and tribulations.

00:04:51.740 --> 00:04:54.120
 That is the lot of life.

00:04:54.899 --> 00:04:58.579
 We can't escape the fallen nature of this world.

00:04:58.579 --> 00:05:02.939
 We can't escape the fallen nature of our own selves.

00:05:03.919 --> 00:05:07.359
 And so, we will go through tribulation.

00:05:07.579 --> 00:05:08.599
 We'll go through trials.

00:05:08.719 --> 00:05:10.000
 We'll go through temptations.

00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:12.240
 But listen to what he says.

00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:16.919
 That we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble.

00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:23.539
 Well, the question is, how do we comfort those who are in trouble?

00:05:23.540 --> 00:05:32.860
 See, that's the question that we have to pose ourselves, or that my wife and I pose ourselves, on a continual basis.

00:05:32.980 --> 00:05:39.720
 When we went to Burkina Faso, the average life expectancy was 37 years of age in our country.

00:05:40.379 --> 00:05:43.400
 Four out of ten children died by the age of ten.

00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:47.379
 Death is a reality in our country.

00:05:47.379 --> 00:05:51.019
 Now, I will say, we're over 60 years of age now.

00:05:51.100 --> 00:05:52.019
 So, we're increasing.

00:05:53.659 --> 00:05:57.620
 When we got to the country, we were the third poorest country in the world.

00:05:58.459 --> 00:05:59.399
 The third poorest.

00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:03.819
 Right now, we're the 19th poorest country in the world.

00:06:03.899 --> 00:06:05.639
 So, we are up and coming.

00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:12.319
 But the point I'm trying to make is that we see suffering on a daily basis.

00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:19.819
 We see people that are without constantly.

00:06:20.399 --> 00:06:25.980
 And we sit there and we pray and we wonder, how can we help these people?

00:06:27.740 --> 00:06:32.399
 How can we comfort them in their trials and tribulations?

00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:37.959
 That's a question that I think we all need to pose ourselves.

00:06:38.839 --> 00:06:42.699
 As we look around Lincoln and see people that are suffering.

00:06:43.679 --> 00:06:50.019
 Now, I'm not talking about people who put on that smile and walk around as if everything is fine.

00:06:51.459 --> 00:06:56.620
 Because we know, in the human heart, it's not fine.

00:06:56.620 --> 00:07:01.560
 We know, in our own families, we struggle.

00:07:02.939 --> 00:07:04.540
 And that's a fact of life.

00:07:05.840 --> 00:07:08.240
 And I want you to understand that.

00:07:08.620 --> 00:07:14.660
 How do we comfort someone who's going through all these trials and tribulations?

00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:20.639
 Many of the trials and tribulations that we ourselves have gone through and are going through presently.

00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:23.660
 Where does that comfort come from?

00:07:23.660 --> 00:07:27.720
 Well, turn over to Ecclesiastes chapter 4.

00:07:28.180 --> 00:07:35.280
 Now, as you're turning over there, when Jesus says in John 14,

00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:39.340
 If I do not go away, I will not send a comforter to you.

00:07:39.500 --> 00:07:40.879
 Who was he referring to?

00:07:42.300 --> 00:07:43.820
 The Holy Spirit.

00:07:44.820 --> 00:07:45.920
 Is that not true?

00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:48.640
 The God of all comfort.

00:07:49.400 --> 00:07:53.520
 God himself, the Holy Spirit, is the one that comforts.

00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:57.939
 We don't have the ability to comfort people in tribulation.

00:07:58.540 --> 00:08:00.160
 We don't have the knowledge.

00:08:00.379 --> 00:08:01.500
 We don't have the know-how.

00:08:02.060 --> 00:08:07.900
 We don't have the resources to help others that are going through tribulation.

00:08:08.080 --> 00:08:10.020
 But there is something we do know.

00:08:10.019 --> 00:08:13.839
 We know one who can.

00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:16.579
 Is that not true?

00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:20.319
 Look at Ecclesiastes chapter 4, verse number 1.

00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:22.899
 The wisest man in the world that ever was.

00:08:23.319 --> 00:08:24.259
 The smartest man.

00:08:24.819 --> 00:08:26.319
 The richest man.

00:08:26.819 --> 00:08:30.879
 The one that said he tried everything under the sun.

00:08:32.220 --> 00:08:34.240
 This is what he said in verse number 1.

00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:35.519
 He said,

00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:39.840
 So I returned and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun.

00:08:41.159 --> 00:08:42.340
 So I looked around.

00:08:42.879 --> 00:08:44.259
 I saw the oppressions.

00:08:44.340 --> 00:08:45.100
 I saw the trouble.

00:08:45.340 --> 00:08:46.799
 I saw the tribulations.

00:08:47.100 --> 00:08:51.039
 I saw the afflictions of people throughout the world.

00:08:51.860 --> 00:08:52.600
 He said,

00:08:52.700 --> 00:08:54.019
 That are done under the sun.

00:08:54.100 --> 00:08:57.139
 And behold, the tears of such as were oppressed.

00:08:57.419 --> 00:08:58.399
 And listen to what he said.

00:08:59.480 --> 00:09:01.019
 And they had no comforter.

00:09:01.019 --> 00:09:03.220
 The comforter is the Holy Spirit.

00:09:03.220 --> 00:09:07.519
 When a person accepts Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior,

00:09:07.940 --> 00:09:09.860
 according to the Word of God,

00:09:10.279 --> 00:09:12.160
 they receive the Holy Spirit of comfort.

00:09:12.440 --> 00:09:14.180
 The moment they're saved.

00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:22.060
 One of the hardest things that I have in relationship to teaching the Burkina Bay

00:09:22.060 --> 00:09:25.139
 is that, hey, the same Holy Spirit in my heart

00:09:25.139 --> 00:09:26.800
 is the same Holy Spirit in your heart.

00:09:27.480 --> 00:09:28.100
 See, they think,

00:09:28.100 --> 00:09:30.000
 Well, because you're an American,

00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:33.460
 you don't have the need of the comfort of the Holy Spirit

00:09:33.460 --> 00:09:34.980
 because you have all you ever want.

00:09:35.139 --> 00:09:37.720
 They don't understand human nature at this time.

00:09:38.820 --> 00:09:41.080
 And Solomon continues,

00:09:41.220 --> 00:09:43.000
 And on the side of their oppressions,

00:09:43.580 --> 00:09:44.480
 there was power.

00:09:45.379 --> 00:09:45.820
 But,

00:09:46.620 --> 00:09:48.940
 they had no comforter.

00:09:48.940 --> 00:09:51.960
 The point I'm trying to make is,

00:09:52.560 --> 00:09:57.920
 the greatest thing that we can do to anybody in trial and tribulation

00:09:57.920 --> 00:10:01.760
 is to present to them the Lord Jesus Christ.

00:10:01.760 --> 00:10:04.440
 To point them to the Savior of the world

00:10:04.440 --> 00:10:07.620
 that will send them the Holy Spirit of comfort.

00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:10.040
 That will lead them and guide them

00:10:10.040 --> 00:10:13.960
 and help them overcome the trials and tribulations

00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:15.120
 that they're going through.

00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:18.419
 Anywhere in the world,

00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:18.960
 it works.

00:10:19.659 --> 00:10:20.000
 You say,

00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:20.220
 Well,

00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:21.779
 what do you mean it works?

00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:23.639
 I mean the Word of God is true.

00:10:24.940 --> 00:10:28.139
 I mean the Word of God is effective.

00:10:30.060 --> 00:10:34.980
 If I could solve all the problems in Burkina Faso

00:10:34.980 --> 00:10:36.840
 with my own intelligence,

00:10:37.019 --> 00:10:37.480
 I would.

00:10:38.100 --> 00:10:40.440
 If I had a pocketbook big enough

00:10:40.440 --> 00:10:42.639
 to alleviate all the suffering

00:10:42.639 --> 00:10:45.480
 because of the financial distress that people are under,

00:10:46.139 --> 00:10:46.779
 I would.

00:10:47.519 --> 00:10:49.399
 If I had all the knowledge of

00:10:49.399 --> 00:10:52.559
 the greatest medical profession in the world,

00:10:53.500 --> 00:10:56.840
 I would help if I could.

00:10:58.460 --> 00:11:00.120
 But I'm not smart.

00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:02.340
 I'm not rich.

00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:04.759
 I don't have a whole lot.

00:11:05.819 --> 00:11:07.299
 But this one thing I know.

00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:08.139
 I know Him.

00:11:08.139 --> 00:11:11.340
 And I know He is able

00:11:11.340 --> 00:11:13.960
 to help them

00:11:13.960 --> 00:11:15.860
 that call on Him by faith.

00:11:17.360 --> 00:11:19.500
 And one of the greatest joys

00:11:19.500 --> 00:11:20.919
 that I see in ministry

00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:23.240
 is to be able to

00:11:23.240 --> 00:11:24.860
 point people

00:11:24.860 --> 00:11:27.419
 without any knowledge of Jesus Christ,

00:11:27.799 --> 00:11:29.240
 point them to Jesus Christ

00:11:29.240 --> 00:11:31.379
 and let God work in

00:11:31.379 --> 00:11:32.779
 and through their hearts and lives.

00:11:33.500 --> 00:11:34.480
 And you know what's amazing?

00:11:34.899 --> 00:11:35.700
 He does!

00:11:36.500 --> 00:11:37.799
 That's just amazing.

00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:39.559
 God's Word is true.

00:11:40.359 --> 00:11:42.639
 It actually works.

00:11:43.579 --> 00:11:44.379
 What do you mean it works?

00:11:44.740 --> 00:11:45.359
 I mean,

00:11:45.559 --> 00:11:47.539
 when a person comes to Jesus Christ,

00:11:47.639 --> 00:11:48.879
 immediately they get that

00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:51.079
 Holy Spirit of comfort in their hearts.

00:11:52.339 --> 00:11:53.459
 How does he do that?

00:11:53.500 --> 00:11:54.079
 I don't know.

00:11:54.879 --> 00:11:56.399
 I never claimed any knowledge.

00:11:56.639 --> 00:11:56.759
 You know,

00:11:57.059 --> 00:12:00.759
 I'm like that blind man in John chapter 9.

00:12:00.859 --> 00:12:01.939
 I don't know anything.

00:12:02.079 --> 00:12:03.199
 But this one thing I know.

00:12:04.240 --> 00:12:05.039
 Where I was blind,

00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:05.819
 now I see.

00:12:08.159 --> 00:12:09.759
 We don't need to have

00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:11.000
 all the knowledge in the world.

00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:14.519
 We don't need to figure out

00:12:14.519 --> 00:12:15.620
 what these people

00:12:15.620 --> 00:12:16.459
 ought to do

00:12:16.459 --> 00:12:17.399
 and ought not to do.

00:12:18.359 --> 00:12:19.819
 That's not my function

00:12:19.819 --> 00:12:20.839
 as a missionary.

00:12:21.659 --> 00:12:22.740
 I wish I could.

00:12:22.859 --> 00:12:23.979
 I wish I understood

00:12:23.979 --> 00:12:25.799
 the problems of the world.

00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:28.039
 I'll give you a little hint.

00:12:28.339 --> 00:12:29.919
 I'm still trying to figure out

00:12:29.919 --> 00:12:31.179
 the problems in my own life.

00:12:31.819 --> 00:12:33.219
 To worry about the problems

00:12:33.219 --> 00:12:34.179
 that everyone else has.

00:12:34.179 --> 00:12:37.000
 But I'm not there

00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:38.839
 to solve the problems

00:12:38.839 --> 00:12:40.379
 of the Burkina Bay.

00:12:41.620 --> 00:12:43.339
 I'm there to introduce them

00:12:43.339 --> 00:12:45.359
 to the one who can.

00:12:47.259 --> 00:12:48.699
 And that's our goal.

00:12:49.299 --> 00:12:51.259
 I'll give you an illustration.

00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:52.919
 Actually, there's several.

00:12:53.599 --> 00:12:54.539
 And I'll give you more

00:12:54.539 --> 00:12:55.839
 if you ask me afterwards.

00:12:55.840 --> 00:12:59.000
 But these are the three

00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:01.320
 main illustrations

00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:02.940
 that really touched my heart

00:13:02.940 --> 00:13:04.460
 and proved to me

00:13:04.460 --> 00:13:06.519
 that I don't know anything.

00:13:07.220 --> 00:13:08.139
 But God does.

00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:11.300
 And God actually fulfills His Word.

00:13:12.800 --> 00:13:16.759
 We had a young lady.

00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:21.620
 Of course, everyone's young

00:13:21.620 --> 00:13:22.519
 compared to my wife.

00:13:22.659 --> 00:13:23.299
 I want you to know.

00:13:23.639 --> 00:13:26.960
 But we have a young lady.

00:13:27.519 --> 00:13:28.419
 For some reason,

00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:29.639
 she knocked on our door

00:13:29.639 --> 00:13:30.840
 in Wagadougou.

00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:33.100
 And so I went out

00:13:33.100 --> 00:13:33.899
 and answered the door.

00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:35.120
 She said,

00:13:35.179 --> 00:13:36.000
 Hey, I understand

00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:37.559
 there's this old fat missionary

00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:38.659
 that picks up people

00:13:38.659 --> 00:13:39.379
 to come to church.

00:13:40.279 --> 00:13:41.220
 And I looked at her

00:13:41.220 --> 00:13:41.379
 and said,

00:13:41.419 --> 00:13:42.039
 Well, I don't know about

00:13:42.039 --> 00:13:43.200
 the old and the fat part,

00:13:43.299 --> 00:13:44.179
 but we pick people

00:13:44.179 --> 00:13:45.059
 to come up to church.

00:13:45.059 --> 00:13:46.279
 So she said,

00:13:46.339 --> 00:13:47.179
 Well, will you start

00:13:47.179 --> 00:13:47.819
 picking me up?

00:13:47.859 --> 00:13:48.379
 I said, sure.

00:13:48.539 --> 00:13:49.719
 So Mary and I,

00:13:49.799 --> 00:13:51.500
 we went out every Sunday morning,

00:13:51.599 --> 00:13:52.579
 picked her up in our car

00:13:52.579 --> 00:13:53.619
 and brought her to church.

00:13:53.959 --> 00:13:54.859
 She would come

00:13:54.859 --> 00:13:55.759
 with her three kids

00:13:55.759 --> 00:13:57.439
 and they were faithful.

00:13:57.819 --> 00:13:59.459
 They were excited.

00:13:59.839 --> 00:14:00.859
 It was amazing.

00:14:01.479 --> 00:14:02.559
 And then one Sunday,

00:14:03.459 --> 00:14:04.299
 she came forward

00:14:04.299 --> 00:14:04.939
 and got saved.

00:14:05.099 --> 00:14:06.259
 We were excited about it.

00:14:06.259 --> 00:14:06.479
 She said,

00:14:06.479 --> 00:14:07.279
 I'll never get baptized.

00:14:07.839 --> 00:14:09.339
 Well, guess what happened?

00:14:09.459 --> 00:14:10.159
 She got baptized,

00:14:10.319 --> 00:14:11.359
 became a member of the church.

00:14:11.819 --> 00:14:13.539
 Everything was going great.

00:14:13.539 --> 00:14:15.599
 Now, you understand

00:14:15.599 --> 00:14:19.319
 that she's a typical Burkina babe.

00:14:19.439 --> 00:14:21.799
 She did not have any education

00:14:21.799 --> 00:14:22.399
 being a woman.

00:14:22.539 --> 00:14:24.039
 She was from a village,

00:14:24.179 --> 00:14:24.860
 married a man,

00:14:24.980 --> 00:14:26.639
 and they moved into Ouagadougou

00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:28.599
 and had three children by him

00:14:28.599 --> 00:14:29.379
 and then he left.

00:14:30.539 --> 00:14:32.179
 Here she is in the capital city,

00:14:32.279 --> 00:14:33.339
 two to four million people,

00:14:33.719 --> 00:14:34.899
 without any income,

00:14:35.500 --> 00:14:36.579
 without any ability

00:14:36.579 --> 00:14:39.639
 that they even communicate effectively.

00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:42.620
 and she had to go

00:14:42.620 --> 00:14:45.259
 and do whatever she could

00:14:45.259 --> 00:14:46.080
 to feed her kids.

00:14:46.740 --> 00:14:47.620
 I've seen her

00:14:47.620 --> 00:14:49.419
 out there on the street corner

00:14:49.419 --> 00:14:52.220
 with a mango in her hand

00:14:52.220 --> 00:14:53.080
 that fell from a tree,

00:14:53.740 --> 00:14:54.679
 holding it up

00:14:54.679 --> 00:14:56.460
 for the pastor buyers

00:14:56.460 --> 00:14:57.120
 and the cars

00:14:57.120 --> 00:14:57.919
 and the mopalettes

00:14:57.919 --> 00:14:58.699
 to stop by

00:14:58.699 --> 00:15:00.620
 and buy that mango

00:15:00.620 --> 00:15:01.759
 for a penny

00:15:01.759 --> 00:15:03.659
 or less than a penny.

00:15:04.659 --> 00:15:06.259
 And she did that

00:15:06.259 --> 00:15:07.019
 over and over again.

00:15:07.019 --> 00:15:08.939
 And I remember one time

00:15:08.939 --> 00:15:10.120
 going to her house,

00:15:10.220 --> 00:15:12.259
 and this was after a while,

00:15:12.399 --> 00:15:15.340
 that she had a goat's head

00:15:15.340 --> 00:15:17.279
 that she was cooking.

00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:18.799
 And I said,

00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:19.699
 wow, I said,

00:15:19.840 --> 00:15:21.899
 your kids are going to eat good today.

00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:22.759
 She said,

00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:23.559
 oh, no, missionary,

00:15:23.699 --> 00:15:24.879
 that's not for my kids.

00:15:25.159 --> 00:15:26.159
 I'm going to take them out

00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:26.879
 on the street

00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:28.319
 and sell them

00:15:28.319 --> 00:15:29.259
 to the pastor buyers.

00:15:29.519 --> 00:15:31.179
 That's how she made her money.

00:15:31.179 --> 00:15:32.639
 Now, she also had

00:15:32.639 --> 00:15:34.179
 one advantage

00:15:34.960 --> 00:15:36.220
 that most of these other ladies

00:15:36.220 --> 00:15:37.040
 don't have.

00:15:37.340 --> 00:15:39.840
 She had her in-laws

00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:41.120
 live in the capital city.

00:15:41.700 --> 00:15:42.519
 So they said,

00:15:42.580 --> 00:15:43.379
 we'll give you money

00:15:43.379 --> 00:15:43.980
 each week

00:15:43.980 --> 00:15:45.040
 to feed our grandchildren.

00:15:45.680 --> 00:15:47.139
 So she took it.

00:15:47.920 --> 00:15:48.820
 Well, one Sunday,

00:15:48.940 --> 00:15:50.200
 Mary and I went to pick her up

00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:51.620
 and she got in the car

00:15:51.620 --> 00:15:53.340
 and she was really quiet.

00:15:55.080 --> 00:15:56.180
 We come to church.

00:15:56.259 --> 00:15:57.080
 She got out of the car.

00:15:57.180 --> 00:15:58.300
 She went into church

00:15:58.300 --> 00:15:59.519
 and she sat down

00:15:59.519 --> 00:16:00.160
 in the front row

00:16:00.160 --> 00:16:01.560
 as she always does.

00:16:02.680 --> 00:16:04.460
 But when the singing commenced,

00:16:04.460 --> 00:16:05.639
 she did not sing.

00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:06.920
 That's unusual

00:16:06.920 --> 00:16:08.080
 because she's loud

00:16:08.080 --> 00:16:08.680
 and boisterous

00:16:08.680 --> 00:16:09.300
 when she sings.

00:16:09.879 --> 00:16:11.220
 But she wouldn't sing

00:16:11.220 --> 00:16:11.940
 and she just kept

00:16:11.940 --> 00:16:12.600
 her head bowed.

00:16:13.360 --> 00:16:14.320
 After the services,

00:16:14.680 --> 00:16:16.500
 we said,

00:16:16.580 --> 00:16:17.160
 something's wrong

00:16:17.160 --> 00:16:19.400
 with Jermaine

00:16:19.400 --> 00:16:20.240
 and so let's bring

00:16:20.240 --> 00:16:20.800
 her home last.

00:16:20.860 --> 00:16:21.460
 So we brought everyone

00:16:21.460 --> 00:16:23.019
 home first

00:16:23.019 --> 00:16:23.700
 and then we brought

00:16:23.700 --> 00:16:24.440
 her home last.

00:16:24.540 --> 00:16:25.460
 She was getting out

00:16:25.460 --> 00:16:25.900
 of the car.

00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:26.259
 I said,

00:16:26.300 --> 00:16:26.960
 Jermaine, honey,

00:16:27.460 --> 00:16:28.700
 tell me what's wrong

00:16:28.700 --> 00:16:29.120
 with you.

00:16:29.800 --> 00:16:30.800
 And tears began

00:16:30.800 --> 00:16:31.860
 to flow down her cheeks.

00:16:31.860 --> 00:16:33.620
 She said,

00:16:33.680 --> 00:16:34.019
 missionary,

00:16:34.240 --> 00:16:34.560
 she said,

00:16:34.580 --> 00:16:34.940
 I don't know

00:16:34.940 --> 00:16:35.440
 what to do.

00:16:36.379 --> 00:16:36.740
 I said,

00:16:36.779 --> 00:16:37.259
 what do you mean?

00:16:38.139 --> 00:16:38.620
 She said,

00:16:38.639 --> 00:16:39.539
 my in-law said,

00:16:39.620 --> 00:16:40.580
 if I keep coming

00:16:40.580 --> 00:16:41.419
 to your church,

00:16:41.500 --> 00:16:42.379
 they will not give me

00:16:42.379 --> 00:16:43.019
 any more money

00:16:43.019 --> 00:16:43.879
 to feed my children.

00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:46.460
 And that made me mad.

00:16:47.580 --> 00:16:48.399
 And I thought,

00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:48.700
 well,

00:16:48.940 --> 00:16:49.759
 who are they?

00:16:50.300 --> 00:16:51.840
 Don't you worry about it.

00:16:51.940 --> 00:16:53.240
 I will take care of you.

00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:54.220
 I got the money.

00:16:54.300 --> 00:16:55.120
 It wouldn't cost much,

00:16:55.399 --> 00:16:56.860
 two dollars a week

00:16:56.860 --> 00:16:58.019
 to feed her kids.

00:16:58.019 --> 00:17:00.100
 But I really felt

00:17:00.100 --> 00:17:01.779
 God touched my heart

00:17:01.779 --> 00:17:01.960
 and said,

00:17:02.039 --> 00:17:02.679
 now wait a minute.

00:17:03.480 --> 00:17:04.639
 Are you her God?

00:17:05.460 --> 00:17:06.619
 Or am I her God?

00:17:07.799 --> 00:17:08.700
 And I knew God

00:17:08.700 --> 00:17:09.240
 didn't want me

00:17:09.240 --> 00:17:09.980
 to say anything.

00:17:11.400 --> 00:17:12.079
 And you know

00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:13.180
 how hard that was?

00:17:15.019 --> 00:17:16.019
 It's devastating.

00:17:17.019 --> 00:17:17.920
 And so I said,

00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:18.319
 Jermaine,

00:17:18.420 --> 00:17:18.920
 we can't,

00:17:18.920 --> 00:17:21.319
 we can't do anything.

00:17:21.619 --> 00:17:22.339
 We don't know

00:17:22.339 --> 00:17:22.740
 what to do.

00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:23.500
 We can't answer

00:17:23.500 --> 00:17:24.160
 your question.

00:17:24.779 --> 00:17:26.200
 But we'll pray

00:17:26.200 --> 00:17:26.599
 with you.

00:17:26.599 --> 00:17:27.379
 So we prayed

00:17:27.379 --> 00:17:29.079
 and she got out of course,

00:17:29.500 --> 00:17:30.399
 tears still flowing

00:17:30.399 --> 00:17:31.039
 down her cheeks.

00:17:32.579 --> 00:17:33.459
 And we didn't know

00:17:33.459 --> 00:17:33.939
 what to do.

00:17:34.079 --> 00:17:36.199
 We prayed that entire week

00:17:36.199 --> 00:17:37.359
 about what we should do.

00:17:37.439 --> 00:17:38.079
 I thought about

00:17:38.079 --> 00:17:39.019
 giving money

00:17:39.019 --> 00:17:39.579
 to the neighbor

00:17:39.579 --> 00:17:40.179
 to give to her.

00:17:40.240 --> 00:17:40.719
 I thought about

00:17:40.719 --> 00:17:42.859
 sending it indiscreetly

00:17:42.859 --> 00:17:43.359
 and everything.

00:17:43.659 --> 00:17:44.639
 And God kept saying,

00:17:44.740 --> 00:17:45.599
 no, no, no,

00:17:45.619 --> 00:17:46.659
 she has to trust me,

00:17:46.699 --> 00:17:47.059
 not you.

00:17:47.359 --> 00:17:48.059
 And so we,

00:17:49.139 --> 00:17:49.980
 when it came time

00:17:49.980 --> 00:17:51.240
 for us to go pick her up

00:17:51.240 --> 00:17:51.959
 on Sunday,

00:17:52.699 --> 00:17:53.819
 I actually thought

00:17:53.819 --> 00:17:54.459
 about not going.

00:17:54.879 --> 00:17:55.919
 Why waste her time?

00:17:56.599 --> 00:17:58.159
 But we went there anyway

00:17:58.159 --> 00:17:59.719
 and she actually

00:17:59.719 --> 00:18:00.399
 got in the car

00:18:00.399 --> 00:18:01.639
 and her kids

00:18:01.639 --> 00:18:03.399
 and came to church.

00:18:03.459 --> 00:18:04.279
 But she's still quiet,

00:18:04.379 --> 00:18:05.079
 wouldn't say anything,

00:18:05.259 --> 00:18:06.199
 sat in the front row,

00:18:06.299 --> 00:18:06.819
 didn't sing.

00:18:07.679 --> 00:18:10.419
 And we didn't know

00:18:10.419 --> 00:18:11.459
 what to do again.

00:18:11.939 --> 00:18:13.399
 So we brought her back home

00:18:13.399 --> 00:18:14.359
 and she got out of the car,

00:18:14.439 --> 00:18:15.019
 still quiet.

00:18:15.579 --> 00:18:16.699
 Second week,

00:18:16.879 --> 00:18:17.740
 same thing happened.

00:18:18.500 --> 00:18:19.619
 By the third week,

00:18:19.819 --> 00:18:20.659
 she's out there

00:18:20.659 --> 00:18:21.439
 singing

00:18:21.440 --> 00:18:23.900
 and just like her old self.

00:18:24.360 --> 00:18:24.580
 Well,

00:18:25.240 --> 00:18:26.740
 being the nosy preacher

00:18:26.740 --> 00:18:27.460
 that I am,

00:18:27.840 --> 00:18:28.799
 I wanted to know

00:18:28.799 --> 00:18:29.320
 what happened.

00:18:30.120 --> 00:18:30.960
 So after church,

00:18:31.059 --> 00:18:31.360
 I said,

00:18:31.420 --> 00:18:31.840
 Jermaine,

00:18:32.200 --> 00:18:33.240
 whatever happened

00:18:33.240 --> 00:18:33.880
 between you

00:18:33.880 --> 00:18:34.680
 and your in-laws?

00:18:35.360 --> 00:18:35.940
 And you know

00:18:35.940 --> 00:18:36.580
 what she said?

00:18:37.580 --> 00:18:38.200
 She said,

00:18:38.340 --> 00:18:38.920
 me and my in-laws?

00:18:39.039 --> 00:18:39.180
 Oh,

00:18:39.340 --> 00:18:40.900
 I'm just trusting the Lord.

00:18:40.900 --> 00:18:44.120
 I don't understand that.

00:18:44.720 --> 00:18:46.180
 She has no education.

00:18:46.360 --> 00:18:47.340
 She can't read and write.

00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:48.360
 She has no job.

00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:49.560
 She has three kids to feed.

00:18:49.880 --> 00:18:51.500
 Her husband had left her.

00:18:51.860 --> 00:18:52.759
 Her in-laws

00:18:52.759 --> 00:18:54.560
 had discarded her.

00:18:55.240 --> 00:18:55.519
 And yet,

00:18:55.580 --> 00:18:56.580
 here's this girl

00:18:56.580 --> 00:18:58.600
 with every problem

00:18:58.600 --> 00:18:59.360
 in the world

00:18:59.360 --> 00:19:00.100
 and she's saying,

00:19:00.220 --> 00:19:01.400
 I'm just trusting the Lord

00:19:01.400 --> 00:19:03.380
 and smiling about it.

00:19:04.040 --> 00:19:05.180
 How did God

00:19:05.180 --> 00:19:07.259
 comfort her heart?

00:19:07.500 --> 00:19:08.500
 Because who she had

00:19:08.500 --> 00:19:09.160
 in her heart.

00:19:09.160 --> 00:19:11.400
 Do you understand that?

00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:16.840
 God worked

00:19:16.840 --> 00:19:18.740
 in her heart.

00:19:19.279 --> 00:19:20.100
 Wow.

00:19:20.620 --> 00:19:21.720
 That's just amazing.

00:19:22.360 --> 00:19:23.580
 And we get to see

00:19:23.580 --> 00:19:24.519
 what God does

00:19:24.519 --> 00:19:26.040
 all the time.

00:19:27.160 --> 00:19:28.700
 I'll give you another story.

00:19:30.500 --> 00:19:31.380
 Caddy,

00:19:32.519 --> 00:19:34.040
 actually Mary

00:19:34.040 --> 00:19:37.460
 knew Caddy's older sister

00:19:37.460 --> 00:19:39.279
 and she said

00:19:39.279 --> 00:19:40.539
 her sister needed a job.

00:19:40.640 --> 00:19:42.420
 She was a young Muslim woman

00:19:42.420 --> 00:19:44.259
 and so Mary hired her

00:19:44.259 --> 00:19:45.680
 to come into our house.

00:19:45.940 --> 00:19:49.539
 And Mary is very evangelistic

00:19:49.539 --> 00:19:51.220
 and so she started witnessing

00:19:51.220 --> 00:19:51.819
 the Caddy

00:19:51.819 --> 00:19:52.579
 and Caddy pretended

00:19:52.579 --> 00:19:54.200
 she didn't want to hear it.

00:19:54.600 --> 00:19:55.340
 But she did

00:19:55.340 --> 00:19:57.100
 and she just kept quiet.

00:19:57.740 --> 00:19:58.600
 Mary would bring in

00:19:58.600 --> 00:19:59.600
 these vegetable ladies

00:19:59.600 --> 00:20:00.299
 to her house

00:20:00.299 --> 00:20:01.600
 and she would witness to them

00:20:01.600 --> 00:20:02.860
 knowing that Caddy

00:20:02.860 --> 00:20:03.539
 was listening.

00:20:03.539 --> 00:20:06.500
 and Caddy,

00:20:06.639 --> 00:20:07.899
 even though she was raised

00:20:07.899 --> 00:20:10.659
 with her dad

00:20:10.659 --> 00:20:11.960
 and the two wives,

00:20:12.799 --> 00:20:14.519
 grew up in Ouagadougou

00:20:14.519 --> 00:20:15.500
 as a Muslim.

00:20:16.779 --> 00:20:17.700
 But after,

00:20:17.859 --> 00:20:18.279
 I don't know,

00:20:18.359 --> 00:20:19.159
 several months,

00:20:19.180 --> 00:20:19.839
 if not a year,

00:20:20.000 --> 00:20:21.559
 she came to us.

00:20:21.639 --> 00:20:22.180
 She said,

00:20:22.259 --> 00:20:22.460
 well,

00:20:23.019 --> 00:20:23.319
 you know,

00:20:23.420 --> 00:20:24.339
 I'd like to start

00:20:24.339 --> 00:20:25.799
 going to your church.

00:20:26.339 --> 00:20:26.819
 We said,

00:20:26.879 --> 00:20:27.119
 okay.

00:20:27.920 --> 00:20:29.480
 So we started picking her up

00:20:29.480 --> 00:20:30.420
 to come to church.

00:20:30.420 --> 00:20:32.060
 She started coming

00:20:32.060 --> 00:20:33.279
 and started listening

00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:35.980
 and before you know it,

00:20:36.019 --> 00:20:36.900
 guess who got saved?

00:20:37.920 --> 00:20:38.800
 Caddy got saved.

00:20:39.900 --> 00:20:40.860
 Caddy got baptized.

00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:43.180
 She really began to grow

00:20:43.180 --> 00:20:44.300
 and it was exciting

00:20:44.300 --> 00:20:46.240
 to see God transform

00:20:46.240 --> 00:20:47.920
 this young Muslim woman.

00:20:49.300 --> 00:20:49.620
 Well,

00:20:49.860 --> 00:20:50.680
 as is a habit

00:20:50.680 --> 00:20:52.160
 in Burkina Faso,

00:20:53.000 --> 00:20:55.140
 you get a month off,

00:20:55.759 --> 00:20:56.620
 a complete month,

00:20:56.779 --> 00:20:57.700
 30 days off

00:20:57.700 --> 00:20:59.460
 and many of them

00:20:59.460 --> 00:21:00.920
 will take time out

00:21:00.920 --> 00:21:02.100
 to go visit family

00:21:02.100 --> 00:21:03.380
 in the villages.

00:21:04.200 --> 00:21:04.340
 Well,

00:21:04.400 --> 00:21:05.680
 Caddy took her month off

00:21:05.680 --> 00:21:07.019
 to go visit

00:21:07.019 --> 00:21:08.039
 in her village

00:21:08.039 --> 00:21:10.019
 and she brought

00:21:10.019 --> 00:21:10.500
 her little

00:21:10.500 --> 00:21:11.779
 10-year-old nephew

00:21:11.779 --> 00:21:15.340
 and something terrible

00:21:15.340 --> 00:21:15.880
 happened.

00:21:17.160 --> 00:21:18.080
 She said that,

00:21:18.340 --> 00:21:19.080
 and with tears,

00:21:19.299 --> 00:21:19.620
 again,

00:21:19.740 --> 00:21:21.059
 flowing down her cheeks

00:21:21.059 --> 00:21:22.460
 as she related the story,

00:21:23.559 --> 00:21:24.240
 she said,

00:21:24.340 --> 00:21:24.759
 missionary,

00:21:24.759 --> 00:21:28.160
 I demanded,

00:21:28.379 --> 00:21:29.039
 I asked,

00:21:29.160 --> 00:21:31.119
 I pleaded with the boy,

00:21:31.660 --> 00:21:32.759
 her nephew,

00:21:33.099 --> 00:21:34.079
 to go greet

00:21:34.079 --> 00:21:34.900
 his grandmother.

00:21:35.079 --> 00:21:35.680
 His grandmother

00:21:35.680 --> 00:21:37.019
 was a shaman

00:21:37.019 --> 00:21:39.119
 and so

00:21:39.119 --> 00:21:39.960
 with Caddy

00:21:39.960 --> 00:21:41.400
 deer prodding him,

00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:42.039
 he went

00:21:42.039 --> 00:21:42.879
 and

00:21:42.879 --> 00:21:45.660
 introduced himself

00:21:45.660 --> 00:21:46.400
 to the grandma

00:21:46.400 --> 00:21:47.599
 and the grandmother

00:21:47.599 --> 00:21:48.740
 placed a curse

00:21:48.740 --> 00:21:49.400
 upon him

00:21:49.400 --> 00:21:52.000
 and he got sick

00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:53.279
 that night.

00:21:53.279 --> 00:21:54.839
 Caddy

00:21:54.839 --> 00:21:55.799
 got worried

00:21:55.799 --> 00:21:56.539
 so she brought him

00:21:56.539 --> 00:21:57.399
 back to Ouagadougou,

00:21:57.799 --> 00:21:58.859
 put him in the best

00:21:58.859 --> 00:21:59.879
 children's hospital

00:21:59.879 --> 00:22:00.920
 we had in the entire

00:22:00.920 --> 00:22:01.379
 country

00:22:01.379 --> 00:22:04.039
 and he died

00:22:04.039 --> 00:22:08.259
 because of a curse.

00:22:08.359 --> 00:22:08.740
 I don't know,

00:22:08.799 --> 00:22:09.339
 but he died.

00:22:10.740 --> 00:22:11.639
 Caddy come to work,

00:22:12.619 --> 00:22:13.480
 tears flowing down

00:22:13.480 --> 00:22:13.940
 her cheeks.

00:22:14.119 --> 00:22:14.379
 She said,

00:22:14.440 --> 00:22:14.920
 I can't,

00:22:16.359 --> 00:22:17.740
 I don't know what to do.

00:22:17.799 --> 00:22:18.240
 Why did God

00:22:18.240 --> 00:22:19.119
 allow this to happen?

00:22:19.399 --> 00:22:20.000
 What do you say?

00:22:21.180 --> 00:22:22.240
 What do you say?

00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:24.440
 We're going to try

00:22:24.440 --> 00:22:25.160
 to defend God?

00:22:26.500 --> 00:22:27.279
 We're going to try

00:22:27.279 --> 00:22:28.120
 to speak for God?

00:22:28.779 --> 00:22:29.740
 We just watched her

00:22:29.740 --> 00:22:30.480
 cry

00:22:30.480 --> 00:22:33.019
 and we prayed

00:22:33.019 --> 00:22:33.660
 for her.

00:22:34.880 --> 00:22:35.319
 She said,

00:22:35.359 --> 00:22:35.660
 missionary,

00:22:35.799 --> 00:22:36.420
 I don't think I can

00:22:36.420 --> 00:22:37.299
 go to church anymore.

00:22:38.259 --> 00:22:39.019
 So she stopped

00:22:39.019 --> 00:22:39.779
 coming to church.

00:22:40.019 --> 00:22:40.720
 We watched her

00:22:40.720 --> 00:22:42.259
 cry

00:22:42.259 --> 00:22:43.620
 day after day,

00:22:43.740 --> 00:22:44.500
 week after week.

00:22:46.140 --> 00:22:46.620
 Why

00:22:46.620 --> 00:22:48.120
 did this happen?

00:22:48.380 --> 00:22:48.579
 Well,

00:22:48.620 --> 00:22:49.359
 after a while,

00:22:49.359 --> 00:22:51.819
 she came to us

00:22:51.819 --> 00:22:52.099
 and said,

00:22:52.179 --> 00:22:52.279
 well,

00:22:52.319 --> 00:22:52.919
 I think I need

00:22:52.919 --> 00:22:53.399
 to start going

00:22:53.399 --> 00:22:54.099
 back to church.

00:22:55.019 --> 00:22:55.839
 And she started

00:22:55.839 --> 00:22:56.799
 going back to church

00:22:56.799 --> 00:22:57.759
 little by little.

00:22:58.679 --> 00:22:59.500
 And after

00:22:59.500 --> 00:23:01.000
 a few

00:23:01.000 --> 00:23:02.119
 months,

00:23:02.659 --> 00:23:03.459
 she was back

00:23:03.459 --> 00:23:03.959
 to normal,

00:23:04.379 --> 00:23:04.979
 singing

00:23:04.979 --> 00:23:05.519
 and

00:23:05.519 --> 00:23:07.119
 fellowshipping

00:23:07.119 --> 00:23:08.099
 and having a good

00:23:08.099 --> 00:23:08.839
 time just like

00:23:08.839 --> 00:23:09.579
 she did before.

00:23:09.740 --> 00:23:10.299
 In fact,

00:23:10.659 --> 00:23:11.500
 in our Bible

00:23:11.500 --> 00:23:11.939
 Institute,

00:23:12.099 --> 00:23:12.859
 all the guys

00:23:12.859 --> 00:23:13.899
 didn't even

00:23:13.899 --> 00:23:14.659
 understand or

00:23:14.659 --> 00:23:15.379
 didn't even know

00:23:15.379 --> 00:23:16.000
 what had happened

00:23:16.000 --> 00:23:17.059
 to her and

00:23:17.059 --> 00:23:18.180
 her nephew

00:23:18.180 --> 00:23:19.920
 because something

00:23:19.920 --> 00:23:20.619
 had completely

00:23:20.619 --> 00:23:22.240
 changed in her

00:23:22.240 --> 00:23:22.599
 heart.

00:23:22.980 --> 00:23:24.019
 How did God

00:23:24.019 --> 00:23:24.900
 wipe away her

00:23:24.900 --> 00:23:25.240
 tears?

00:23:25.480 --> 00:23:26.140
 I don't know.

00:23:27.119 --> 00:23:27.839
 But I know

00:23:27.839 --> 00:23:28.339
 He did.

00:23:29.160 --> 00:23:29.299
 Why?

00:23:29.460 --> 00:23:30.299
 Because He's God.

00:23:31.519 --> 00:23:32.599
 And He is the

00:23:32.599 --> 00:23:33.119
 God of all

00:23:33.119 --> 00:23:33.519
 comfort.

00:23:34.480 --> 00:23:35.180
 He didn't say

00:23:35.180 --> 00:23:35.680
 that we're the

00:23:35.680 --> 00:23:36.140
 God of all

00:23:36.140 --> 00:23:36.359
 comfort.

00:23:36.640 --> 00:23:37.440
 He said He's

00:23:37.440 --> 00:23:38.079
 the God of all

00:23:38.079 --> 00:23:38.400
 comfort.

00:23:38.920 --> 00:23:39.500
 So when we

00:23:39.500 --> 00:23:40.240
 point people

00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:41.420
 to Him,

00:23:42.380 --> 00:23:43.700
 He's the one

00:23:43.700 --> 00:23:44.660
 who will deal

00:23:44.660 --> 00:23:45.380
 with their heart

00:23:45.380 --> 00:23:45.920
 and comfort

00:23:45.920 --> 00:23:46.480
 their heart

00:23:46.480 --> 00:23:47.080
 through the

00:23:47.080 --> 00:23:47.600
 trials and

00:23:47.600 --> 00:23:48.160
 tribulations

00:23:48.160 --> 00:23:49.280
 that they are

00:23:49.280 --> 00:23:50.340
 presently going

00:23:50.340 --> 00:23:50.760
 through.

00:23:52.880 --> 00:23:53.720
 That's what He

00:23:53.720 --> 00:23:53.900
 did.

00:23:54.020 --> 00:23:54.800
 I'll give you

00:23:54.800 --> 00:23:55.520
 another

00:23:55.520 --> 00:23:57.400
 illustration.

00:23:57.940 --> 00:23:58.460
 Dominic

00:23:58.460 --> 00:24:00.640
 was raised

00:24:00.640 --> 00:24:01.220
 in the village

00:24:01.220 --> 00:24:01.820
 of Uwando,

00:24:02.000 --> 00:24:02.480
 one of the

00:24:02.480 --> 00:24:03.040
 first works

00:24:03.040 --> 00:24:04.040
 we started.

00:24:04.980 --> 00:24:05.620
 His parents

00:24:05.620 --> 00:24:06.180
 had died

00:24:06.180 --> 00:24:06.920
 when he was

00:24:06.920 --> 00:24:08.400
 young,

00:24:08.600 --> 00:24:10.000
 a young adult,

00:24:10.180 --> 00:24:10.920
 a teenager.

00:24:11.300 --> 00:24:12.020
 So he lived

00:24:12.020 --> 00:24:13.260
 on his own

00:24:13.260 --> 00:24:13.780
 in his own

00:24:13.780 --> 00:24:14.160
 hut.

00:24:15.380 --> 00:24:16.540
 He decided

00:24:16.540 --> 00:24:17.360
 by his own

00:24:17.360 --> 00:24:17.920
 testimony,

00:24:18.520 --> 00:24:19.760
 he was

00:24:19.760 --> 00:24:20.480
 determined to

00:24:20.480 --> 00:24:21.000
 be the best

00:24:21.000 --> 00:24:21.880
 animist that

00:24:21.880 --> 00:24:22.340
 he could be.

00:24:23.520 --> 00:24:23.980
 And then we

00:24:23.980 --> 00:24:24.520
 came to the

00:24:24.520 --> 00:24:25.140
 village and

00:24:25.140 --> 00:24:26.720
 God allowed

00:24:26.720 --> 00:24:27.240
 us to go

00:24:27.240 --> 00:24:27.740
 from hut

00:24:27.740 --> 00:24:28.040
 to hut

00:24:28.040 --> 00:24:28.440
 to hut.

00:24:28.540 --> 00:24:28.840
 Now we

00:24:28.840 --> 00:24:29.960
 were going

00:24:29.960 --> 00:24:30.460
 hut to hut

00:24:30.460 --> 00:24:30.600
 to hut.

00:24:30.600 --> 00:24:30.880
 We didn't

00:24:30.880 --> 00:24:31.220
 knock on

00:24:31.220 --> 00:24:31.400
 doors,

00:24:31.500 --> 00:24:31.640
 so we

00:24:31.640 --> 00:24:32.120
 would clap.

00:24:32.400 --> 00:24:32.840
 People would

00:24:32.840 --> 00:24:33.440
 come out

00:24:33.440 --> 00:24:34.820
 and then they

00:24:34.820 --> 00:24:35.140
 would sit

00:24:35.140 --> 00:24:35.680
 under a tree

00:24:35.680 --> 00:24:36.080
 and then you

00:24:36.080 --> 00:24:36.560
 talk to them

00:24:36.560 --> 00:24:37.780
 for two or

00:24:37.780 --> 00:24:38.340
 three hours.

00:24:38.920 --> 00:24:39.720
 Visiting over here

00:24:39.720 --> 00:24:40.040
 is a long

00:24:40.040 --> 00:24:40.320
 time.

00:24:40.319 --> 00:24:42.879
 But their

00:24:42.879 --> 00:24:43.759
 point is,

00:24:43.859 --> 00:24:44.460
 hey, you

00:24:44.460 --> 00:24:45.379
 asked them

00:24:45.379 --> 00:24:45.679
 to come

00:24:45.679 --> 00:24:46.259
 out, so

00:24:46.259 --> 00:24:47.119
 now you're

00:24:47.119 --> 00:24:47.259
 going to

00:24:47.259 --> 00:24:47.539
 talk.

00:24:47.639 --> 00:24:48.079
 And you

00:24:48.079 --> 00:24:48.700
 can't leave

00:24:48.700 --> 00:24:50.039
 until they

00:24:50.039 --> 00:24:50.339
 give you

00:24:50.339 --> 00:24:50.899
 permission to

00:24:50.899 --> 00:24:51.079
 leave.

00:24:52.059 --> 00:24:52.740
 So sometimes

00:24:52.740 --> 00:24:53.179
 you're stuck

00:24:53.179 --> 00:24:53.500
 there for

00:24:53.500 --> 00:24:53.779
 hours.

00:24:53.879 --> 00:24:54.299
 But anyway,

00:24:54.480 --> 00:24:55.639
 we were out

00:24:55.639 --> 00:24:56.859
 there and we

00:24:56.859 --> 00:24:57.500
 were witnessing

00:24:57.500 --> 00:24:59.539
 to the family

00:24:59.539 --> 00:25:00.359
 after family

00:25:00.359 --> 00:25:01.439
 and Dominic

00:25:01.439 --> 00:25:02.220
 saw us and

00:25:02.220 --> 00:25:03.319
 saw the car

00:25:03.319 --> 00:25:04.000
 and came up

00:25:04.000 --> 00:25:04.879
 to us the

00:25:04.879 --> 00:25:05.539
 first day and

00:25:05.539 --> 00:25:05.960
 he started

00:25:05.960 --> 00:25:06.679
 following us

00:25:06.679 --> 00:25:07.059
 around.

00:25:07.059 --> 00:25:07.919
 First day,

00:25:08.399 --> 00:25:10.659
 followed all

00:25:10.659 --> 00:25:11.119
 the huts.

00:25:11.359 --> 00:25:12.000
 Second day,

00:25:12.139 --> 00:25:12.960
 he met us

00:25:12.960 --> 00:25:13.440
 in the morning,

00:25:13.579 --> 00:25:14.099
 followed us

00:25:14.099 --> 00:25:14.379
 through all

00:25:14.379 --> 00:25:14.740
 the huts.

00:25:15.119 --> 00:25:15.599
 Third day,

00:25:15.659 --> 00:25:15.960
 he did the

00:25:15.960 --> 00:25:16.379
 same thing.

00:25:16.500 --> 00:25:16.859
 He didn't

00:25:16.859 --> 00:25:17.799
 respond.

00:25:19.859 --> 00:25:20.339
 Dominic had

00:25:20.339 --> 00:25:20.879
 a sixth

00:25:20.879 --> 00:25:22.119
 grade education

00:25:22.119 --> 00:25:22.779
 which was

00:25:22.779 --> 00:25:23.819
 pretty high

00:25:23.819 --> 00:25:25.200
 for that

00:25:25.200 --> 00:25:25.659
 village.

00:25:27.339 --> 00:25:28.039
 We held

00:25:28.039 --> 00:25:28.399
 our first

00:25:28.399 --> 00:25:29.559
 services that

00:25:29.559 --> 00:25:30.399
 Sunday and

00:25:30.399 --> 00:25:31.500
 Dominic came

00:25:31.500 --> 00:25:31.899
 forward and

00:25:31.899 --> 00:25:32.359
 got saved.

00:25:33.000 --> 00:25:33.759
 It was a

00:25:33.759 --> 00:25:34.079
 blessing.

00:25:35.039 --> 00:25:35.559
 And so

00:25:35.559 --> 00:25:37.500
 soon after

00:25:37.500 --> 00:25:37.879
 he was

00:25:37.879 --> 00:25:38.879
 baptized and

00:25:38.879 --> 00:25:40.139
 we were

00:25:40.139 --> 00:25:40.700
 beginning to

00:25:40.700 --> 00:25:41.539
 start our

00:25:41.539 --> 00:25:42.200
 Bible Institute

00:25:42.200 --> 00:25:43.220
 so I asked

00:25:43.220 --> 00:25:43.859
 Dominic if he

00:25:43.859 --> 00:25:44.299
 would like to

00:25:44.299 --> 00:25:45.440
 come in and

00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:47.579
 be a part of

00:25:47.579 --> 00:25:48.220
 our Bible Institute.

00:25:48.339 --> 00:25:48.619
 He said,

00:25:48.700 --> 00:25:48.859
 sure.

00:25:49.519 --> 00:25:50.139
 So he

00:25:50.139 --> 00:25:51.179
 started coming

00:25:51.179 --> 00:25:51.679
 into our

00:25:51.679 --> 00:25:52.200
 Bible Institute.

00:25:52.339 --> 00:25:52.839
 He'd come in

00:25:52.839 --> 00:25:53.899
 on the

00:25:53.899 --> 00:25:55.579
 weekdays and

00:25:55.579 --> 00:25:56.480
 be a part of

00:25:56.480 --> 00:25:57.059
 our Bible Institute.

00:25:57.200 --> 00:25:57.700
 After two

00:25:57.700 --> 00:25:58.379
 years, I

00:25:58.379 --> 00:25:59.339
 realized God's

00:25:59.339 --> 00:26:00.139
 hand was upon

00:26:00.139 --> 00:26:00.480
 him.

00:26:01.279 --> 00:26:01.740
 So I said,

00:26:01.779 --> 00:26:02.099
 Dominic,

00:26:02.139 --> 00:26:02.559
 would you like

00:26:02.559 --> 00:26:03.139
 to go out to

00:26:03.139 --> 00:26:03.879
 your village and

00:26:03.879 --> 00:26:04.740
 preach?

00:26:05.559 --> 00:26:05.919
 He said,

00:26:06.000 --> 00:26:06.179
 sure.

00:26:06.319 --> 00:26:06.579
 So we

00:26:06.579 --> 00:26:07.000
 got him on

00:26:07.000 --> 00:26:07.679
 Mopelet and

00:26:07.679 --> 00:26:08.740
 every Sunday

00:26:08.740 --> 00:26:09.319
 morning he'll

00:26:09.319 --> 00:26:09.700
 make that

00:26:09.700 --> 00:26:10.279
 trip out

00:26:10.279 --> 00:26:10.720
 there to

00:26:10.720 --> 00:26:11.679
 his village

00:26:11.679 --> 00:26:12.079
 about two

00:26:12.079 --> 00:26:12.379
 and a half

00:26:12.379 --> 00:26:13.019
 hours away.

00:26:13.359 --> 00:26:13.960
 He'd preach

00:26:13.960 --> 00:26:14.259
 and come

00:26:14.259 --> 00:26:14.960
 back that

00:26:14.960 --> 00:26:16.460
 Sunday evening.

00:26:17.619 --> 00:26:18.319
 Well, in

00:26:18.319 --> 00:26:18.759
 our Bible

00:26:18.759 --> 00:26:20.259
 Institute, we

00:26:20.259 --> 00:26:20.740
 had a get

00:26:20.740 --> 00:26:21.339
 together and

00:26:21.339 --> 00:26:21.779
 I asked

00:26:21.779 --> 00:26:22.539
 Dominic if

00:26:22.539 --> 00:26:22.779
 he would

00:26:22.779 --> 00:26:23.099
 like to

00:26:23.099 --> 00:26:23.379
 give a

00:26:23.379 --> 00:26:25.200
 testimony to

00:26:25.200 --> 00:26:25.579
 the other

00:26:25.579 --> 00:26:25.980
 Institute

00:26:25.980 --> 00:26:26.480
 students.

00:26:26.859 --> 00:26:27.359
 He didn't

00:26:27.359 --> 00:26:27.859
 tell me what

00:26:27.859 --> 00:26:28.179
 he was going

00:26:28.179 --> 00:26:28.539
 to say.

00:26:29.220 --> 00:26:29.579
 He didn't

00:26:29.579 --> 00:26:30.159
 say anything.

00:26:30.339 --> 00:26:30.619
 He said,

00:26:30.659 --> 00:26:31.299
 yeah, I'll

00:26:31.299 --> 00:26:31.700
 do it.

00:26:32.139 --> 00:26:33.579
 So without

00:26:33.579 --> 00:26:34.839
 saying anything

00:26:34.839 --> 00:26:35.199
 to me,

00:26:35.279 --> 00:26:35.819
 he got up

00:26:35.819 --> 00:26:36.079
 there in

00:26:36.079 --> 00:26:36.359
 front of

00:26:36.359 --> 00:26:36.619
 all the

00:26:36.619 --> 00:26:37.220
 other students

00:26:37.220 --> 00:26:37.720
 and he

00:26:37.720 --> 00:26:38.859
 related this

00:26:38.859 --> 00:26:40.059
 story that

00:26:40.059 --> 00:26:40.559
 I want to

00:26:40.559 --> 00:26:41.939
 tell you.

00:26:42.019 --> 00:26:42.099
 It's the

00:26:42.099 --> 00:26:42.619
 first time I

00:26:42.619 --> 00:26:43.139
 ever heard

00:26:43.139 --> 00:26:43.460
 of it.

00:26:44.759 --> 00:26:46.119
 He said

00:26:46.119 --> 00:26:46.839
 that one

00:26:46.839 --> 00:26:47.460
 Sunday he

00:26:47.460 --> 00:26:47.879
 was going

00:26:47.879 --> 00:26:48.319
 out to

00:26:48.319 --> 00:26:48.939
 his village

00:26:48.939 --> 00:26:50.639
 and as

00:26:50.639 --> 00:26:51.000
 he was

00:26:51.000 --> 00:26:51.460
 driving his

00:26:51.460 --> 00:26:51.799
 Mopelet,

00:26:51.980 --> 00:26:52.299
 he came

00:26:52.299 --> 00:26:52.740
 upon a

00:26:52.740 --> 00:26:53.319
 rock quarry

00:26:53.319 --> 00:26:53.659
 which was

00:26:53.659 --> 00:26:54.039
 on top

00:26:54.039 --> 00:26:54.299
 of a

00:26:54.299 --> 00:26:54.559
 hill.

00:26:55.059 --> 00:26:55.500
 As he

00:26:55.500 --> 00:26:55.859
 started

00:26:55.859 --> 00:26:56.659
 going up

00:26:56.659 --> 00:26:56.919
 to the

00:26:56.919 --> 00:26:57.240
 top of

00:26:57.240 --> 00:26:57.480
 the hill,

00:26:57.559 --> 00:26:57.899
 he looked

00:26:57.899 --> 00:26:58.259
 up and

00:26:58.259 --> 00:26:58.639
 he saw

00:26:58.639 --> 00:26:59.220
 a man

00:26:59.220 --> 00:26:59.639
 all in

00:26:59.639 --> 00:26:59.939
 red.

00:27:00.779 --> 00:27:01.179
 And he

00:27:01.179 --> 00:27:01.699
 was hovering.

00:27:01.919 --> 00:27:02.259
 His feet

00:27:02.259 --> 00:27:02.599
 was not

00:27:02.599 --> 00:27:03.039
 touching the

00:27:03.039 --> 00:27:03.279
 ground.

00:27:04.180 --> 00:27:04.400
 He said,

00:27:04.480 --> 00:27:04.700
 did he

00:27:04.700 --> 00:27:05.180
 really see

00:27:05.180 --> 00:27:05.400
 that?

00:27:05.460 --> 00:27:05.799
 I don't

00:27:05.799 --> 00:27:05.960
 know.

00:27:06.019 --> 00:27:06.319
 He thought

00:27:06.319 --> 00:27:06.680
 he did.

00:27:07.420 --> 00:27:07.859
 So he

00:27:07.859 --> 00:27:08.299
 stopped.

00:27:08.460 --> 00:27:08.819
 He said,

00:27:08.859 --> 00:27:09.140
 I didn't

00:27:09.140 --> 00:27:09.440
 know what

00:27:09.440 --> 00:27:09.799
 to do.

00:27:10.640 --> 00:27:11.180
 So he

00:27:11.180 --> 00:27:11.359
 said,

00:27:11.400 --> 00:27:12.039
 I started

00:27:12.039 --> 00:27:12.619
 praying and

00:27:12.619 --> 00:27:13.279
 asking God

00:27:13.279 --> 00:27:13.960
 what I

00:27:13.960 --> 00:27:14.400
 should do.

00:27:14.480 --> 00:27:14.740
 As he

00:27:14.740 --> 00:27:15.460
 was down

00:27:15.460 --> 00:27:15.879
 there

00:27:15.879 --> 00:27:17.079
 praying,

00:27:17.299 --> 00:27:17.640
 another

00:27:17.640 --> 00:27:18.119
 Mopelet

00:27:18.119 --> 00:27:18.960
 come by

00:27:18.960 --> 00:27:19.640
 and he

00:27:19.640 --> 00:27:20.460
 jumped up

00:27:20.460 --> 00:27:20.740
 to get

00:27:20.740 --> 00:27:21.019
 the guy

00:27:21.019 --> 00:27:21.539
 to stop

00:27:21.539 --> 00:27:21.920
 and the

00:27:21.920 --> 00:27:22.059
 guy

00:27:22.059 --> 00:27:22.319
 wouldn't

00:27:22.319 --> 00:27:22.720
 stop.

00:27:23.799 --> 00:27:24.240
 So he

00:27:24.240 --> 00:27:24.640
 watched the

00:27:24.640 --> 00:27:24.940
 guy get

00:27:24.940 --> 00:27:25.359
 all the way

00:27:25.359 --> 00:27:26.119
 up to the

00:27:26.119 --> 00:27:26.539
 top of the

00:27:26.539 --> 00:27:26.900
 hill where

00:27:26.900 --> 00:27:27.359
 that man

00:27:27.359 --> 00:27:27.700
 in red

00:27:27.700 --> 00:27:28.019
 was.

00:27:28.460 --> 00:27:28.839
 When he

00:27:28.839 --> 00:27:29.240
 got up to

00:27:29.240 --> 00:27:29.579
 the top,

00:27:32.259 --> 00:27:32.599
 the Mopelet

00:27:32.599 --> 00:27:33.160
 crashed.

00:27:33.779 --> 00:27:34.319
 So Dominic

00:27:34.319 --> 00:27:35.019
 immediately ran

00:27:35.019 --> 00:27:35.400
 up there

00:27:35.400 --> 00:27:36.160
 and helped

00:27:36.160 --> 00:27:36.680
 this man

00:27:36.680 --> 00:27:37.119
 on his

00:27:37.119 --> 00:27:37.960
 Mopelet

00:27:37.960 --> 00:27:38.460
 and brought

00:27:38.460 --> 00:27:38.819
 him into

00:27:38.819 --> 00:27:39.279
 the next

00:27:39.279 --> 00:27:39.700
 town of

00:27:39.700 --> 00:27:40.160
 Moteiru

00:27:40.160 --> 00:27:41.259
 and dropped

00:27:41.259 --> 00:27:41.599
 him off

00:27:41.599 --> 00:27:41.900
 at the

00:27:41.900 --> 00:27:42.480
 clinic.

00:27:43.660 --> 00:27:44.160
 Never saw

00:27:44.160 --> 00:27:44.500
 that man

00:27:44.500 --> 00:27:44.720
 in red

00:27:44.720 --> 00:27:45.019
 again.

00:27:45.519 --> 00:27:45.819
 As he

00:27:45.819 --> 00:27:46.259
 got out

00:27:46.259 --> 00:27:46.640
 to his

00:27:46.640 --> 00:27:46.980
 village,

00:27:47.140 --> 00:27:48.960
 he began

00:27:48.960 --> 00:27:49.359
 to walk

00:27:49.359 --> 00:27:49.900
 towards his

00:27:49.900 --> 00:27:50.579
 hut and

00:27:50.579 --> 00:27:52.339
 he looked

00:27:52.339 --> 00:27:52.859
 around and

00:27:52.859 --> 00:27:53.180
 there was

00:27:53.180 --> 00:27:55.420
 blood all

00:27:55.420 --> 00:27:55.779
 over the

00:27:55.779 --> 00:27:56.039
 place.

00:27:56.379 --> 00:27:56.640
 There was

00:27:56.640 --> 00:27:56.980
 chicken

00:27:56.980 --> 00:27:58.220
 pieces all

00:27:58.220 --> 00:27:58.559
 over the

00:27:58.559 --> 00:27:59.039
 place that

00:27:59.039 --> 00:27:59.420
 was spread

00:27:59.420 --> 00:27:59.779
 around,

00:27:59.859 --> 00:28:00.539
 all around

00:28:00.539 --> 00:28:01.700
 his hut,

00:28:01.799 --> 00:28:02.240
 his house.

00:28:03.099 --> 00:28:03.379
 And he

00:28:03.379 --> 00:28:04.819
 knew what

00:28:04.819 --> 00:28:05.140
 it was.

00:28:05.220 --> 00:28:05.339
 See,

00:28:05.460 --> 00:28:05.779
 that's a

00:28:05.779 --> 00:28:06.640
 curse.

00:28:06.740 --> 00:28:06.980
 It's an

00:28:06.980 --> 00:28:07.500
 animistic

00:28:07.500 --> 00:28:07.920
 curse.

00:28:08.400 --> 00:28:08.539
 See,

00:28:08.640 --> 00:28:09.660
 they slaughter

00:28:09.660 --> 00:28:10.299
 a chicken

00:28:10.299 --> 00:28:11.940
 as a way

00:28:11.940 --> 00:28:12.319
 to say

00:28:12.319 --> 00:28:12.940
 that you're

00:28:12.940 --> 00:28:13.480
 in danger

00:28:13.480 --> 00:28:14.700
 and you

00:28:14.700 --> 00:28:15.019
 need to

00:28:15.019 --> 00:28:15.359
 leave.

00:28:16.559 --> 00:28:17.379
 So Dominic,

00:28:17.960 --> 00:28:18.599
 he understood

00:28:18.599 --> 00:28:19.440
 what was

00:28:19.440 --> 00:28:19.799
 happening.

00:28:19.960 --> 00:28:20.460
 He understood

00:28:20.460 --> 00:28:21.119
 that somebody

00:28:21.119 --> 00:28:22.160
 was trying

00:28:22.160 --> 00:28:22.660
 to drive

00:28:22.660 --> 00:28:23.160
 him out

00:28:23.160 --> 00:28:24.000
 of that

00:28:24.000 --> 00:28:24.440
 village.

00:28:25.279 --> 00:28:25.879
 It ended

00:28:25.879 --> 00:28:26.259
 up being

00:28:26.259 --> 00:28:26.740
 his brother.

00:28:27.960 --> 00:28:29.019
 But he

00:28:29.019 --> 00:28:29.400
 said,

00:28:29.879 --> 00:28:30.420
 he said,

00:28:30.480 --> 00:28:31.059
 I did not

00:28:31.059 --> 00:28:31.460
 know what

00:28:31.460 --> 00:28:31.879
 to do.

00:28:32.240 --> 00:28:32.740
 He said,

00:28:32.800 --> 00:28:33.160
 I looked

00:28:33.160 --> 00:28:33.480
 around,

00:28:33.580 --> 00:28:33.900
 I saw

00:28:33.900 --> 00:28:34.400
 all that

00:28:34.400 --> 00:28:34.660
 blood,

00:28:34.760 --> 00:28:35.060
 I saw

00:28:35.060 --> 00:28:35.580
 all those

00:28:35.580 --> 00:28:35.860
 chicken

00:28:35.860 --> 00:28:36.300
 pieces.

00:28:37.380 --> 00:28:38.000
 He didn't

00:28:38.000 --> 00:28:38.300
 know what

00:28:38.300 --> 00:28:38.640
 to do.

00:28:39.040 --> 00:28:39.480
 He said,

00:28:39.540 --> 00:28:40.020
 so I picked

00:28:40.020 --> 00:28:40.440
 up all

00:28:40.440 --> 00:28:40.960
 these chicken

00:28:40.960 --> 00:28:41.980
 pieces and

00:28:41.980 --> 00:28:42.400
 I cooked

00:28:42.400 --> 00:28:42.700
 them and

00:28:42.700 --> 00:28:42.980
 I thank

00:28:42.980 --> 00:28:43.400
 God for

00:28:43.400 --> 00:28:43.760
 my meal

00:28:43.760 --> 00:28:44.180
 that night.

00:28:44.180 --> 00:28:47.440
 God is

00:28:47.440 --> 00:28:47.799
 God.

00:28:47.799 --> 00:28:47.600
 God is my

00:28:47.600 --> 00:28:47.860
 witness.

00:28:47.980 --> 00:28:48.180
 That's

00:28:48.180 --> 00:28:48.759
 exactly what

00:28:48.759 --> 00:28:49.080
 he said.

00:28:49.360 --> 00:28:49.660
 He said,

00:28:49.960 --> 00:28:50.140
 well,

00:28:50.380 --> 00:28:51.360
 how could

00:28:51.360 --> 00:28:51.680
 a guy

00:28:51.680 --> 00:28:52.120
 who grew

00:28:52.120 --> 00:28:52.440
 up in

00:28:52.440 --> 00:28:53.160
 animism,

00:28:53.860 --> 00:28:54.720
 not fair

00:28:54.720 --> 00:28:55.320
 animism

00:28:55.320 --> 00:28:55.840
 anymore,

00:28:56.500 --> 00:28:57.779
 who he

00:28:57.779 --> 00:28:58.160
 had in

00:28:58.160 --> 00:28:58.740
 his heart?

00:28:58.920 --> 00:28:59.299
 We're

00:28:59.299 --> 00:28:59.700
 not

00:28:59.700 --> 00:29:01.920
 supposed

00:29:01.920 --> 00:29:03.560
 to solve

00:29:03.560 --> 00:29:04.100
 the problems

00:29:04.100 --> 00:29:04.400
 of the

00:29:04.400 --> 00:29:04.720
 world.

00:29:05.580 --> 00:29:06.000
 That's

00:29:06.000 --> 00:29:08.259
 his job.

00:29:08.259 --> 00:29:10.579
 And so

00:29:10.579 --> 00:29:11.099
 many people

00:29:11.099 --> 00:29:12.539
 try to

00:29:12.539 --> 00:29:13.059
 solve other

00:29:13.059 --> 00:29:13.500
 people's

00:29:13.500 --> 00:29:13.960
 problems

00:29:13.960 --> 00:29:15.480
 without

00:29:15.480 --> 00:29:16.240
 introducing

00:29:16.240 --> 00:29:18.660
 people to

00:29:18.660 --> 00:29:19.140
 the problem

00:29:19.140 --> 00:29:19.579
 solver.

00:29:20.619 --> 00:29:21.400
 You know,

00:29:21.619 --> 00:29:22.640
 as you read

00:29:22.640 --> 00:29:23.160
 the Word of

00:29:23.160 --> 00:29:23.400
 God,

00:29:23.559 --> 00:29:24.940
 you see

00:29:24.940 --> 00:29:25.440
 where God

00:29:25.440 --> 00:29:25.940
 says he

00:29:25.940 --> 00:29:26.619
 brings

00:29:26.619 --> 00:29:27.480
 tribulations

00:29:27.480 --> 00:29:28.259
 and trials

00:29:28.259 --> 00:29:29.599
 into people's

00:29:29.599 --> 00:29:30.640
 life for

00:29:30.640 --> 00:29:31.019
 them to

00:29:31.019 --> 00:29:31.200
 say,

00:29:31.299 --> 00:29:31.500
 hey,

00:29:31.619 --> 00:29:32.579
 wake up,

00:29:33.160 --> 00:29:34.000
 pay attention.

00:29:34.000 --> 00:29:36.460
 I love

00:29:36.460 --> 00:29:36.819
 you and

00:29:36.819 --> 00:29:37.339
 I want

00:29:37.339 --> 00:29:37.660
 you to

00:29:37.660 --> 00:29:38.059
 come to

00:29:38.059 --> 00:29:38.460
 me.

00:29:40.039 --> 00:29:40.259
 And

00:29:40.259 --> 00:29:40.759
 sometimes

00:29:40.759 --> 00:29:41.400
 those trials

00:29:41.400 --> 00:29:42.720
 and tribulations

00:29:42.720 --> 00:29:43.259
 are actually

00:29:43.259 --> 00:29:43.779
 all the time,

00:29:44.039 --> 00:29:44.759
 it's meant

00:29:44.759 --> 00:29:45.279
 to draw

00:29:45.279 --> 00:29:46.079
 each one

00:29:46.079 --> 00:29:46.339
 of us

00:29:46.339 --> 00:29:46.920
 closer to

00:29:46.920 --> 00:29:47.279
 him.

00:29:49.140 --> 00:29:49.700
 And

00:29:49.700 --> 00:29:50.180
 right in

00:29:50.180 --> 00:29:50.559
 the midst

00:29:50.559 --> 00:29:50.960
 of all

00:29:50.960 --> 00:29:51.519
 the trials

00:29:51.519 --> 00:29:52.259
 and tribulations

00:29:52.259 --> 00:29:52.779
 that we

00:29:52.779 --> 00:29:53.420
 go through

00:29:53.420 --> 00:29:54.160
 and that

00:29:54.160 --> 00:29:55.059
 others around

00:29:55.059 --> 00:29:55.480
 us are

00:29:55.480 --> 00:29:56.259
 going through,

00:29:56.720 --> 00:29:57.339
 God says

00:29:57.339 --> 00:29:58.160
 I have

00:29:58.160 --> 00:29:59.059
 an opportunity

00:29:59.059 --> 00:30:00.619
 to use

00:30:00.619 --> 00:30:00.960
 you,

00:30:01.619 --> 00:30:02.440
 to reach

00:30:02.440 --> 00:30:02.920
 others

00:30:02.920 --> 00:30:03.920
 with the

00:30:03.920 --> 00:30:04.300
 gospel

00:30:04.300 --> 00:30:04.620
 of the

00:30:04.620 --> 00:30:04.779
 Lord

00:30:04.779 --> 00:30:05.080
 Jesus

00:30:05.080 --> 00:30:05.580
 Christ.

00:30:06.220 --> 00:30:06.740
 And it

00:30:06.740 --> 00:30:07.320
 does not

00:30:07.320 --> 00:30:08.019
 depend on

00:30:08.019 --> 00:30:08.460
 how much

00:30:08.460 --> 00:30:08.779
 knowledge

00:30:08.779 --> 00:30:09.380
 you have.

00:30:09.680 --> 00:30:10.100
 You don't

00:30:10.100 --> 00:30:10.360
 got to

00:30:10.360 --> 00:30:10.600
 get a

00:30:10.600 --> 00:30:11.000
 psychological

00:30:11.000 --> 00:30:11.759
 degree,

00:30:12.060 --> 00:30:12.380
 you don't

00:30:12.380 --> 00:30:12.640
 got to

00:30:12.640 --> 00:30:12.880
 get a

00:30:12.880 --> 00:30:13.180
 medical

00:30:13.180 --> 00:30:13.660
 degree,

00:30:13.940 --> 00:30:14.320
 you don't

00:30:14.320 --> 00:30:14.620
 got to

00:30:14.620 --> 00:30:14.960
 get all

00:30:14.960 --> 00:30:15.400
 this other

00:30:15.400 --> 00:30:15.640
 stuff.

00:30:15.800 --> 00:30:15.940
 What you

00:30:15.940 --> 00:30:17.620
 really need

00:30:17.620 --> 00:30:18.259
 and what

00:30:18.259 --> 00:30:18.720
 I really

00:30:18.720 --> 00:30:19.200
 need is

00:30:19.200 --> 00:30:19.519
 just a

00:30:19.519 --> 00:30:20.060
 relationship

00:30:20.060 --> 00:30:20.560
 with

00:30:20.560 --> 00:30:21.680
 him.

00:30:24.440 --> 00:30:25.220
 And our

00:30:25.220 --> 00:30:25.940
 goal is

00:30:25.940 --> 00:30:26.560
 to point

00:30:26.560 --> 00:30:27.000
 to

00:30:27.000 --> 00:30:28.560
 him.

00:30:28.660 --> 00:30:29.100
 Behold

00:30:29.100 --> 00:30:29.580
 the Lamb

00:30:29.580 --> 00:30:30.180
 of God

00:30:30.180 --> 00:30:30.420
 which

00:30:30.420 --> 00:30:31.100
 takes away

00:30:31.100 --> 00:30:31.759
 the sins

00:30:31.759 --> 00:30:32.600
 of the

00:30:32.600 --> 00:30:33.160
 world.

00:30:33.160 --> 00:30:34.000
 after saying

00:30:34.000 --> 00:30:34.420
 all that,

00:30:34.500 --> 00:30:34.960
 guess what?

00:30:36.420 --> 00:30:36.820
 Who's

00:30:36.820 --> 00:30:37.460
 qualified to

00:30:37.460 --> 00:30:37.640
 be a

00:30:37.640 --> 00:30:37.960
 missionary?

00:30:38.320 --> 00:30:39.680
 Those who

00:30:39.680 --> 00:30:40.040
 love the

00:30:40.040 --> 00:30:40.460
 Lord Jesus

00:30:40.460 --> 00:30:40.860
 Christ.

00:30:41.980 --> 00:30:42.779
 Show me

00:30:42.779 --> 00:30:43.019
 in the

00:30:43.019 --> 00:30:43.640
 Bible where

00:30:43.640 --> 00:30:44.140
 the

00:30:44.140 --> 00:30:44.660
 qualifications

00:30:44.660 --> 00:30:45.900
 are your

00:30:45.900 --> 00:30:46.380
 knowledge.

00:30:47.519 --> 00:30:47.620
 Huh?

00:30:48.279 --> 00:30:48.680
 Well,

00:30:48.800 --> 00:30:49.740
 what did

00:30:49.740 --> 00:30:54.720
 the Sanhedrin

00:30:54.720 --> 00:30:56.860
 say about

00:30:56.860 --> 00:30:57.160
 the

00:30:57.160 --> 00:31:00.279
 apostles in

00:31:00.279 --> 00:31:00.819
 Acts chapter

00:31:00.819 --> 00:31:01.240
 4?

00:31:01.899 --> 00:31:02.539
 These are

00:31:02.539 --> 00:31:03.399
 unlearned and

00:31:03.399 --> 00:31:03.799
 ignorant

00:31:03.799 --> 00:31:04.240
 men.

00:31:04.759 --> 00:31:05.839
 I qualify.

00:31:06.539 --> 00:31:07.200
 Right there,

00:31:07.240 --> 00:31:07.680
 I qualify.

00:31:09.000 --> 00:31:09.740
 These are

00:31:09.740 --> 00:31:10.700
 unlearned and

00:31:10.700 --> 00:31:11.539
 ignorant men,

00:31:11.779 --> 00:31:12.480
 but they

00:31:12.480 --> 00:31:13.240
 took knowledge

00:31:13.240 --> 00:31:13.899
 of them that

00:31:13.899 --> 00:31:14.319
 they had

00:31:14.319 --> 00:31:14.940
 been with

00:31:14.940 --> 00:31:16.160
 Jesus.

00:31:16.579 --> 00:31:17.299
 The issue

00:31:17.299 --> 00:31:18.119
 is not

00:31:18.119 --> 00:31:18.980
 our knowledge.

00:31:20.259 --> 00:31:21.359
 The issue

00:31:21.359 --> 00:31:23.200
 is our

00:31:23.200 --> 00:31:23.779
 faith in

00:31:23.779 --> 00:31:24.059
 him.

00:31:25.660 --> 00:31:26.399
 Is it

00:31:26.399 --> 00:31:26.619
 not?

00:31:26.619 --> 00:31:28.019
 So,

00:31:28.179 --> 00:31:28.699
 when people

00:31:28.699 --> 00:31:29.099
 say I

00:31:29.099 --> 00:31:29.279
 don't

00:31:29.279 --> 00:31:30.079
 qualify to

00:31:30.079 --> 00:31:30.819
 be a

00:31:30.819 --> 00:31:31.139
 missionary,

00:31:31.939 --> 00:31:33.000
 what does

00:31:33.000 --> 00:31:33.479
 that mean?

00:31:33.639 --> 00:31:34.239
 I don't

00:31:34.239 --> 00:31:35.039
 understand that.

00:31:36.119 --> 00:31:36.819
 If I

00:31:36.819 --> 00:31:37.579
 thought that

00:31:37.579 --> 00:31:38.339
 everything in

00:31:38.339 --> 00:31:39.019
 Burkina Faso

00:31:39.019 --> 00:31:39.859
 depended on

00:31:39.859 --> 00:31:40.519
 my knowledge

00:31:40.519 --> 00:31:41.139
 and Mary's

00:31:41.139 --> 00:31:41.500
 knowledge,

00:31:42.000 --> 00:31:42.539
 we would

00:31:42.539 --> 00:31:42.979
 last.

00:31:44.339 --> 00:31:45.079
 We would

00:31:45.079 --> 00:31:45.659
 not last.

00:31:46.659 --> 00:31:47.079
 But see,

00:31:47.719 --> 00:31:48.359
 the ministry

00:31:48.359 --> 00:31:48.819
 does not

00:31:48.819 --> 00:31:49.399
 depend upon

00:31:49.399 --> 00:31:50.299
 me or

00:31:50.299 --> 00:31:50.859
 my wisdom.

00:31:50.859 --> 00:31:52.479
 it depends

00:31:52.479 --> 00:31:53.119
 upon him.

00:31:54.500 --> 00:31:55.219
 And our

00:31:55.219 --> 00:31:55.839
 goal in

00:31:55.839 --> 00:31:56.559
 Burkina Faso

00:31:56.559 --> 00:31:58.139
 is to say,

00:31:58.240 --> 00:31:58.359
 hey,

00:31:58.439 --> 00:31:58.740
 look,

00:31:59.740 --> 00:32:01.299
 the Savior

00:32:01.299 --> 00:32:01.679
 of the

00:32:01.679 --> 00:32:02.019
 world,

00:32:02.819 --> 00:32:03.559
 he died

00:32:03.559 --> 00:32:04.240
 for you.

00:32:05.879 --> 00:32:07.159
 He will

00:32:07.159 --> 00:32:08.019
 give you

00:32:08.019 --> 00:32:08.599
 that Holy

00:32:08.599 --> 00:32:09.219
 Spirit of

00:32:09.219 --> 00:32:11.039
 comfort if

00:32:11.039 --> 00:32:11.419
 you just

00:32:11.419 --> 00:32:11.859
 turn to

00:32:11.859 --> 00:32:12.219
 him in

00:32:12.219 --> 00:32:12.500
 faith.

00:32:14.059 --> 00:32:14.599
 I mean,

00:32:14.659 --> 00:32:15.379
 that's exactly

00:32:15.379 --> 00:32:15.819
 what we

00:32:15.819 --> 00:32:16.079
 do.

00:32:17.359 --> 00:32:18.119
 We don't

00:32:18.119 --> 00:32:18.779
 go around

00:32:18.779 --> 00:32:19.119
 and try

00:32:19.119 --> 00:32:19.579
 to solve

00:32:19.579 --> 00:32:19.879
 all the

00:32:19.879 --> 00:32:20.339
 problems

00:32:20.339 --> 00:32:21.039
 in

00:32:21.039 --> 00:32:21.740
 Burkina Faso.

00:32:21.899 --> 00:32:22.379
 My goodness,

00:32:22.500 --> 00:32:22.779
 that would

00:32:22.779 --> 00:32:23.299
 take a

00:32:23.299 --> 00:32:24.619
 lifetime and

00:32:24.619 --> 00:32:24.899
 I wouldn't

00:32:24.899 --> 00:32:25.379
 even have

00:32:25.379 --> 00:32:25.939
 done anything.

00:32:26.779 --> 00:32:27.559
 But we

00:32:27.559 --> 00:32:28.279
 are confident

00:32:28.279 --> 00:32:29.119
 in one

00:32:29.119 --> 00:32:29.519
 thing,

00:32:31.559 --> 00:32:32.500
 his ability

00:32:32.500 --> 00:32:34.500
 to help

00:32:34.500 --> 00:32:34.879
 people,

00:32:35.220 --> 00:32:35.839
 his ability

00:32:35.839 --> 00:32:36.259
 to help

00:32:36.259 --> 00:32:36.839
 my family

00:32:36.839 --> 00:32:38.279
 here in

00:32:38.279 --> 00:32:38.720
 America,

00:32:40.339 --> 00:32:41.419
 his ability

00:32:41.419 --> 00:32:41.899
 to help

00:32:41.899 --> 00:32:42.579
 my neighbors

00:32:42.579 --> 00:32:43.399
 right here

00:32:43.399 --> 00:32:44.019
 in America.

00:32:45.559 --> 00:32:46.279
 Because it

00:32:46.279 --> 00:32:46.919
 doesn't depend

00:32:46.919 --> 00:32:47.359
 on us,

00:32:47.399 --> 00:32:47.799
 it depends

00:32:47.799 --> 00:32:48.240
 on him.

00:32:48.240 --> 00:32:49.920
 and the

00:32:49.920 --> 00:32:50.420
 work we

00:32:50.420 --> 00:32:51.640
 do in

00:32:51.640 --> 00:32:52.279
 relationship

00:32:52.279 --> 00:32:53.000
 to Jesus

00:32:53.000 --> 00:32:53.720
 Christ is

00:32:53.720 --> 00:32:54.099
 simply

00:32:54.099 --> 00:32:55.559
 single-fold.

00:32:56.319 --> 00:32:57.059
 We have a

00:32:57.059 --> 00:32:57.740
 single purpose.

00:32:59.420 --> 00:32:59.640
 Look.

00:33:00.519 --> 00:33:01.160
 Look.

00:33:02.460 --> 00:33:03.140
 Look.

00:33:04.599 --> 00:33:05.380
 What's that

00:33:05.380 --> 00:33:05.599
 song?

00:33:05.740 --> 00:33:06.059
 Look and

00:33:06.059 --> 00:33:06.279
 live?

00:33:07.519 --> 00:33:08.339
 That's what

00:33:08.339 --> 00:33:08.680
 we do.

00:33:08.940 --> 00:33:10.039
 We point

00:33:10.039 --> 00:33:11.279
 people to

00:33:11.279 --> 00:33:11.779
 Jesus.

00:33:12.220 --> 00:33:12.519
 Anything

00:33:12.519 --> 00:33:13.799
 else doesn't

00:33:13.799 --> 00:33:14.120
 matter.

00:33:15.079 --> 00:33:15.700
 You want

00:33:15.700 --> 00:33:16.299
 to know how

00:33:16.299 --> 00:33:16.819
 to help

00:33:16.819 --> 00:33:17.359
 people in

00:33:17.359 --> 00:33:17.839
 the flesh?

00:33:18.859 --> 00:33:19.139
 You've got

00:33:19.139 --> 00:33:19.339
 a whole

00:33:19.339 --> 00:33:19.779
 world out

00:33:19.779 --> 00:33:20.299
 there trying

00:33:20.299 --> 00:33:20.579
 to do

00:33:20.579 --> 00:33:20.839
 that.

00:33:20.980 --> 00:33:21.299
 The whole

00:33:21.299 --> 00:33:21.700
 world is

00:33:21.700 --> 00:33:22.059
 trying to

00:33:22.059 --> 00:33:22.519
 help people.

00:33:23.200 --> 00:33:23.539
 Are they

00:33:23.539 --> 00:33:23.759
 not?

00:33:25.119 --> 00:33:25.940
 You walk

00:33:25.940 --> 00:33:26.639
 around and

00:33:26.639 --> 00:33:27.960
 people are

00:33:27.960 --> 00:33:28.379
 trying to

00:33:28.379 --> 00:33:29.980
 say what

00:33:29.980 --> 00:33:30.879
 this world

00:33:30.879 --> 00:33:31.319
 needs.

00:33:32.339 --> 00:33:32.559
 Well,

00:33:32.639 --> 00:33:33.000
 we need

00:33:33.000 --> 00:33:35.819
 what's that

00:33:35.819 --> 00:33:36.319
 thing called?

00:33:36.960 --> 00:33:37.379
 We need

00:33:37.379 --> 00:33:38.019
 democracy.

00:33:38.839 --> 00:33:39.519
 We need

00:33:39.519 --> 00:33:39.899
 these other

00:33:39.899 --> 00:33:40.220
 things.

00:33:40.359 --> 00:33:40.639
 Really?

00:33:41.119 --> 00:33:41.700
 You actually

00:33:41.700 --> 00:33:42.980
 think democracy

00:33:42.980 --> 00:33:43.519
 is going to

00:33:43.519 --> 00:33:43.980
 change the

00:33:43.980 --> 00:33:44.359
 heart of a

00:33:44.359 --> 00:33:44.619
 person.

00:33:45.899 --> 00:33:46.359
 Well,

00:33:46.399 --> 00:33:46.759
 a person

00:33:46.759 --> 00:33:48.519
 really can't

00:33:48.519 --> 00:33:50.079
 hear unless

00:33:50.079 --> 00:33:50.519
 you feed

00:33:50.519 --> 00:33:50.699
 them.

00:33:52.240 --> 00:33:52.699
 Okay?

00:33:52.839 --> 00:33:53.539
 You give

00:33:53.539 --> 00:33:53.979
 them food.

00:33:55.699 --> 00:33:56.659
 So they

00:33:56.659 --> 00:33:57.179
 go to hell

00:33:57.179 --> 00:33:57.819
 with a full

00:33:57.819 --> 00:33:58.099
 belly.

00:33:58.199 --> 00:33:58.699
 What does

00:33:58.699 --> 00:33:59.139
 that change?

00:34:00.500 --> 00:34:01.079
 What does

00:34:01.079 --> 00:34:01.579
 that change?

00:34:02.139 --> 00:34:02.899
 I'm trying

00:34:02.899 --> 00:34:03.879
 to encourage

00:34:03.879 --> 00:34:04.379
 you,

00:34:05.459 --> 00:34:05.899
 however

00:34:05.899 --> 00:34:06.459
 feeble

00:34:06.459 --> 00:34:08.480
 I'm doing

00:34:08.480 --> 00:34:08.859
 it,

00:34:09.420 --> 00:34:10.159
 is for you

00:34:10.159 --> 00:34:10.739
 to realize

00:34:10.739 --> 00:34:11.259
 that what

00:34:11.259 --> 00:34:11.739
 you're doing

00:34:11.739 --> 00:34:12.219
 for this

00:34:12.219 --> 00:34:13.359
 month during

00:34:13.360 --> 00:34:13.920
 the missions

00:34:13.920 --> 00:34:14.500
 emphasis

00:34:14.500 --> 00:34:15.579
 month that

00:34:15.579 --> 00:34:15.920
 you're in

00:34:15.920 --> 00:34:16.440
 right now

00:34:16.440 --> 00:34:17.360
 is to

00:34:17.360 --> 00:34:18.660
 realize that

00:34:18.660 --> 00:34:19.160
 the greatest

00:34:19.160 --> 00:34:21.059
 need in

00:34:21.059 --> 00:34:21.680
 this entire

00:34:21.680 --> 00:34:23.280
 world and

00:34:23.280 --> 00:34:23.920
 even in

00:34:23.920 --> 00:34:25.860
 Lincoln is

00:34:25.860 --> 00:34:26.220
 him.

00:34:26.740 --> 00:34:27.140
 It's for

00:34:27.140 --> 00:34:28.120
 this church

00:34:28.120 --> 00:34:29.180
 to stand

00:34:29.180 --> 00:34:30.760
 pointing to

00:34:30.760 --> 00:34:31.059
 him.

00:34:31.539 --> 00:34:31.960
 Try that.

00:34:32.400 --> 00:34:32.980
 Walk

00:34:32.980 --> 00:34:33.420
 outside

00:34:33.420 --> 00:34:33.800
 downtown

00:34:33.800 --> 00:34:34.860
 Lincoln and

00:34:34.860 --> 00:34:35.300
 just start

00:34:35.300 --> 00:34:35.800
 staring out.

00:34:36.120 --> 00:34:36.599
 Others will

00:34:36.599 --> 00:34:37.400
 start looking

00:34:37.400 --> 00:34:37.920
 up with you.

00:34:38.900 --> 00:34:39.140
 What you

00:34:39.140 --> 00:34:39.559
 looking up?

00:34:40.440 --> 00:34:41.039
 Jesus,

00:34:41.260 --> 00:34:41.620
 that's who

00:34:41.620 --> 00:34:42.039
 I'm looking

00:34:42.039 --> 00:34:42.380
 at.

00:34:43.360 --> 00:34:45.380
 It works.

00:34:46.240 --> 00:34:47.039
 It works.

00:34:47.280 --> 00:34:47.519
 Why?

00:34:48.320 --> 00:34:48.840
 Because it's

00:34:48.840 --> 00:34:49.240
 not about

00:34:49.240 --> 00:34:49.599
 us.

00:34:51.120 --> 00:34:52.019
 It's about

00:34:52.019 --> 00:34:52.420
 him.

00:34:54.360 --> 00:34:54.940
 And so

00:34:54.940 --> 00:34:55.480
 as you go

00:34:55.480 --> 00:34:56.000
 through this

00:34:56.000 --> 00:34:56.700
 missions month

00:34:56.700 --> 00:34:57.180
 and you hear

00:34:57.180 --> 00:34:58.400
 these different

00:34:58.400 --> 00:34:59.920
 missionaries

00:34:59.920 --> 00:35:00.740
 realize

00:35:00.740 --> 00:35:03.160
 it's about

00:35:03.160 --> 00:35:03.440
 you.

00:35:03.640 --> 00:35:04.140
 It's about

00:35:04.140 --> 00:35:04.920
 what you're

00:35:04.920 --> 00:35:05.980
 willing to

00:35:05.980 --> 00:35:07.140
 do to

00:35:07.140 --> 00:35:08.140
 point others

00:35:08.140 --> 00:35:09.780
 to him.

00:35:09.920 --> 00:35:10.340
 Does that

00:35:10.340 --> 00:35:10.740
 mean you're

00:35:10.740 --> 00:35:11.079
 willing to

00:35:11.079 --> 00:35:11.880
 go to

00:35:11.880 --> 00:35:12.240
 your neighbor?

00:35:12.239 --> 00:35:15.299
 to that

00:35:15.299 --> 00:35:16.039
 family member

00:35:16.039 --> 00:35:16.819
 that told

00:35:16.819 --> 00:35:18.019
 you don't

00:35:18.019 --> 00:35:18.539
 talk to me

00:35:18.539 --> 00:35:19.119
 anymore about

00:35:19.119 --> 00:35:19.379
 Jesus?

00:35:19.599 --> 00:35:19.839
 Yeah,

00:35:19.859 --> 00:35:20.319
 there's a lot

00:35:20.319 --> 00:35:20.939
 of problems

00:35:20.939 --> 00:35:22.719
 that we all

00:35:22.719 --> 00:35:23.079
 go through.

00:35:23.859 --> 00:35:24.539
 We're not

00:35:24.539 --> 00:35:25.219
 exempt because

00:35:25.219 --> 00:35:25.559
 we're in

00:35:25.559 --> 00:35:25.819
 church.

00:35:25.959 --> 00:35:26.239
 We're not

00:35:26.239 --> 00:35:26.799
 exempt because

00:35:26.799 --> 00:35:27.339
 we're Christians.

00:35:27.679 --> 00:35:28.339
 We still

00:35:28.339 --> 00:35:28.839
 live in the

00:35:28.839 --> 00:35:29.119
 flesh.

00:35:29.199 --> 00:35:29.500
 We still

00:35:29.500 --> 00:35:29.919
 live in the

00:35:29.919 --> 00:35:30.539
 fallen world.

00:35:32.079 --> 00:35:32.679
 Paul can

00:35:32.679 --> 00:35:33.339
 say at the

00:35:33.339 --> 00:35:33.819
 end of his

00:35:33.819 --> 00:35:34.359
 life after

00:35:34.359 --> 00:35:36.000
 writing 13

00:35:36.000 --> 00:35:36.919
 New Testament

00:35:36.919 --> 00:35:37.379
 epistles,

00:35:37.380 --> 00:35:38.840
 this is a

00:35:38.840 --> 00:35:39.500
 faithful saying

00:35:39.500 --> 00:35:39.900
 and worthy

00:35:39.900 --> 00:35:40.260
 of all

00:35:40.260 --> 00:35:40.940
 acceptation

00:35:40.940 --> 00:35:41.420
 that Christ

00:35:41.420 --> 00:35:42.099
 Jesus came

00:35:42.099 --> 00:35:42.340
 in the

00:35:42.340 --> 00:35:42.740
 world to

00:35:42.740 --> 00:35:43.200
 save sinners

00:35:43.200 --> 00:35:43.940
 of whom

00:35:43.940 --> 00:35:44.740
 I am

00:35:44.740 --> 00:35:45.119
 present

00:35:45.119 --> 00:35:46.619
 and chief.

00:35:47.400 --> 00:35:47.640
 See,

00:35:47.720 --> 00:35:48.140
 now that's

00:35:48.140 --> 00:35:49.099
 the first

00:35:49.099 --> 00:35:49.640
 error in

00:35:49.640 --> 00:35:49.940
 a Bible

00:35:49.940 --> 00:35:50.360
 I ever

00:35:50.360 --> 00:35:50.700
 found.

00:35:51.740 --> 00:35:52.200
 Paul could

00:35:52.200 --> 00:35:52.599
 say that

00:35:52.599 --> 00:35:52.860
 but he

00:35:52.860 --> 00:35:53.200
 didn't know

00:35:53.200 --> 00:35:53.400
 me.

00:35:54.720 --> 00:35:55.320
 That's the

00:35:55.320 --> 00:35:55.660
 truth.

00:35:56.019 --> 00:35:57.940
 We have

00:35:57.940 --> 00:35:58.500
 not arrived

00:35:58.500 --> 00:35:58.760
 yet.

00:35:58.960 --> 00:35:59.200
 And if

00:35:59.200 --> 00:35:59.519
 any man

00:35:59.519 --> 00:35:59.960
 thinks they

00:35:59.960 --> 00:36:00.660
 have arrived,

00:36:01.160 --> 00:36:01.539
 they have

00:36:01.539 --> 00:36:01.880
 deceived

00:36:01.880 --> 00:36:02.320
 themselves.

00:36:04.160 --> 00:36:04.860
 Each one

00:36:04.860 --> 00:36:05.160
 of us

00:36:05.160 --> 00:36:06.039
 struggle in

00:36:06.039 --> 00:36:06.480
 the flesh

00:36:06.480 --> 00:36:07.340
 right now.

00:36:08.400 --> 00:36:08.840
 And our

00:36:08.840 --> 00:36:09.139
 need,

00:36:09.340 --> 00:36:09.940
 each one

00:36:09.940 --> 00:36:10.320
 of us,

00:36:10.880 --> 00:36:11.480
 is him.

00:36:12.739 --> 00:36:13.259
 And in

00:36:13.259 --> 00:36:13.719
 the midst

00:36:13.719 --> 00:36:14.159
 of our

00:36:14.159 --> 00:36:14.420
 own

00:36:14.420 --> 00:36:14.960
 struggles,

00:36:15.380 --> 00:36:15.820
 our own

00:36:15.820 --> 00:36:16.420
 trials and

00:36:16.420 --> 00:36:17.460
 tribulations,

00:36:17.980 --> 00:36:18.779
 God says,

00:36:19.340 --> 00:36:20.000
 remember,

00:36:21.320 --> 00:36:22.039
 keep your

00:36:22.039 --> 00:36:22.880
 eyes on

00:36:22.880 --> 00:36:23.300
 him,

00:36:23.920 --> 00:36:24.719
 looking unto

00:36:24.719 --> 00:36:25.239
 Jesus,

00:36:25.400 --> 00:36:26.000
 the author

00:36:26.000 --> 00:36:26.920
 and finisher

00:36:26.920 --> 00:36:27.860
 of our

00:36:27.860 --> 00:36:28.239
 faith.

00:36:29.119 --> 00:36:29.679
 And that's

00:36:29.679 --> 00:36:29.960
 what we

00:36:29.960 --> 00:36:30.239
 do.

00:36:30.639 --> 00:36:30.860
 Hey,

00:36:31.320 --> 00:36:32.079
 we go

00:36:32.079 --> 00:36:32.279
 through

00:36:32.279 --> 00:36:32.739
 struggles,

00:36:33.320 --> 00:36:34.800
 but we

00:36:34.800 --> 00:36:34.960
 don't

00:36:34.960 --> 00:36:35.199
 him.

00:36:36.039 --> 00:36:36.639
 We know

00:36:36.639 --> 00:36:36.980
 how the

00:36:36.980 --> 00:36:37.739
 story ends.

00:36:38.440 --> 00:36:39.159
 We know

00:36:39.159 --> 00:36:40.019
 exactly

00:36:40.019 --> 00:36:41.340
 what we

00:36:41.340 --> 00:36:41.739
 need.

00:36:43.500 --> 00:36:44.219
 And we

00:36:44.219 --> 00:36:44.559
 all,

00:36:44.719 --> 00:36:45.059
 if we're

00:36:45.059 --> 00:36:45.800
 a Christian,

00:36:47.000 --> 00:36:47.980
 a born-again

00:36:47.980 --> 00:36:48.420
 believer,

00:36:48.940 --> 00:36:49.639
 we have the

00:36:49.639 --> 00:36:50.259
 Holy Spirit

00:36:50.259 --> 00:36:51.139
 of comfort

00:36:51.139 --> 00:36:52.420
 in our

00:36:52.420 --> 00:36:52.860
 hearts.

00:36:53.920 --> 00:36:54.440
 And there

00:36:54.440 --> 00:36:54.880
 hath no

00:36:54.880 --> 00:36:55.559
 temptation

00:36:55.559 --> 00:36:56.500
 taken me,

00:36:56.920 --> 00:36:57.440
 but such

00:36:57.440 --> 00:36:57.779
 as is

00:36:57.779 --> 00:36:58.239
 common

00:36:58.239 --> 00:36:58.960
 to men.

00:37:00.599 --> 00:37:01.480
 But God

00:37:01.480 --> 00:37:02.000
 will with the

00:37:02.000 --> 00:37:02.400
 temptation

00:37:02.400 --> 00:37:03.219
 also make

00:37:03.219 --> 00:37:03.619
 a way

00:37:03.619 --> 00:37:04.219
 to escape

00:37:04.219 --> 00:37:05.019
 that I

00:37:05.019 --> 00:37:05.659
 may be

00:37:05.659 --> 00:37:06.500
 able to

00:37:06.500 --> 00:37:07.119
 bear it.

00:37:07.379 --> 00:37:07.659
 And as

00:37:07.659 --> 00:37:08.500
 you continue

00:37:08.500 --> 00:37:08.919
 reading,

00:37:09.019 --> 00:37:09.299
 we're not

00:37:09.299 --> 00:37:09.719
 going to,

00:37:09.779 --> 00:37:10.019
 but as

00:37:10.019 --> 00:37:10.480
 you continue

00:37:10.480 --> 00:37:12.419
 reading 2 Corinthians

00:37:12.419 --> 00:37:13.159
 chapter number

00:37:13.159 --> 00:37:14.980
 1, he talks

00:37:14.980 --> 00:37:15.459
 about that

00:37:15.459 --> 00:37:16.119
 very thing

00:37:16.119 --> 00:37:17.039
 in that

00:37:17.039 --> 00:37:17.419
 chapter.

00:37:18.539 --> 00:37:19.179
 We are

00:37:19.179 --> 00:37:20.079
 comforted by

00:37:20.079 --> 00:37:22.099
 God in

00:37:22.099 --> 00:37:22.899
 the tribulations

00:37:22.899 --> 00:37:23.759
 and the trials

00:37:23.759 --> 00:37:24.379
 that I am

00:37:24.379 --> 00:37:25.039
 going through

00:37:25.039 --> 00:37:26.319
 so that I'll

00:37:26.319 --> 00:37:27.119
 be able to

00:37:27.119 --> 00:37:28.239
 comfort those

00:37:28.239 --> 00:37:29.439
 who are in

00:37:29.439 --> 00:37:30.119
 a similar

00:37:30.119 --> 00:37:30.819
 trial of

00:37:30.819 --> 00:37:31.299
 affliction.

00:37:31.300 --> 00:37:33.280
 So,

00:37:33.460 --> 00:37:34.539
 anything that

00:37:34.539 --> 00:37:35.019
 I go

00:37:35.019 --> 00:37:35.320
 through,

00:37:35.460 --> 00:37:36.039
 God has

00:37:36.039 --> 00:37:37.100
 prepared me

00:37:37.100 --> 00:37:38.700
 to reach

00:37:38.700 --> 00:37:39.580
 others with

00:37:39.580 --> 00:37:39.840
 Him.

00:37:41.460 --> 00:37:42.019
 With Him.

00:37:42.780 --> 00:37:43.220
 Maybe that's

00:37:43.220 --> 00:37:43.600
 one of the

00:37:43.600 --> 00:37:44.800
 reasons Paul

00:37:44.800 --> 00:37:45.019
 said,

00:37:45.240 --> 00:37:45.640
 most gladly,

00:37:45.960 --> 00:37:46.440
 therefore will

00:37:46.440 --> 00:37:47.880
 I glory in

00:37:47.880 --> 00:37:48.480
 tribulations.

00:37:48.680 --> 00:37:48.900
 Why?

00:37:49.140 --> 00:37:49.760
 Because he

00:37:49.760 --> 00:37:51.539
 understands that

00:37:51.539 --> 00:37:52.340
 his testimony,

00:37:52.800 --> 00:37:55.500
 his witness

00:37:55.500 --> 00:37:56.340
 will be more

00:37:56.340 --> 00:37:58.519
 secure because

00:37:58.519 --> 00:37:59.180
 of the things

00:37:59.180 --> 00:37:59.680
 that he went

00:37:59.680 --> 00:37:59.880
 through.

00:37:59.960 --> 00:38:00.120
 Why?

00:38:00.119 --> 00:38:01.239
 Because we

00:38:01.239 --> 00:38:02.799
 found out in

00:38:02.799 --> 00:38:03.460
 our daily

00:38:03.460 --> 00:38:04.400
 walk that

00:38:04.400 --> 00:38:05.480
 God is

00:38:05.480 --> 00:38:06.279
 faithful.

00:38:07.659 --> 00:38:08.319
 What He

00:38:08.319 --> 00:38:09.199
 said to me,

00:38:09.420 --> 00:38:09.779
 He will

00:38:09.779 --> 00:38:10.299
 perform.

00:38:10.819 --> 00:38:11.359
 What He

00:38:11.359 --> 00:38:12.039
 said to you,

00:38:12.759 --> 00:38:13.199
 He will

00:38:13.199 --> 00:38:13.719
 perform.

00:38:15.199 --> 00:38:15.859
 In whose

00:38:15.859 --> 00:38:16.179
 timing?

00:38:17.039 --> 00:38:17.440
 Well, in

00:38:17.440 --> 00:38:18.039
 His timing.

00:38:19.119 --> 00:38:20.039
 Hey, if it

00:38:20.039 --> 00:38:20.659
 was my timing,

00:38:20.759 --> 00:38:21.099
 I wouldn't

00:38:21.099 --> 00:38:21.500
 have any

00:38:21.500 --> 00:38:21.839
 problems.

00:38:22.159 --> 00:38:22.440
 But see,

00:38:22.519 --> 00:38:22.880
 that's not

00:38:22.880 --> 00:38:23.359
 what problems

00:38:23.359 --> 00:38:24.179
 are designed

00:38:24.179 --> 00:38:24.639
 to do.

00:38:24.859 --> 00:38:26.559
 We have a

00:38:26.559 --> 00:38:26.880
 wonderful

00:38:26.880 --> 00:38:27.659
 opportunity

00:38:27.659 --> 00:38:29.559
 to reach

00:38:29.559 --> 00:38:31.239
 out with

00:38:31.239 --> 00:38:31.599
 the love

00:38:31.599 --> 00:38:32.000
 of Jesus

00:38:32.000 --> 00:38:32.500
 Christ.

00:38:34.019 --> 00:38:34.299
 You know,

00:38:34.339 --> 00:38:34.639
 I was

00:38:34.639 --> 00:38:35.359
 reading J.

00:38:35.420 --> 00:38:35.879
 Vernon McGee

00:38:35.879 --> 00:38:36.059
 again,

00:38:36.839 --> 00:38:37.399
 and he

00:38:37.399 --> 00:38:39.119
 said that

00:38:39.119 --> 00:38:42.199
 if you go

00:38:42.199 --> 00:38:44.279
 through what

00:38:44.279 --> 00:38:44.960
 God expects

00:38:44.960 --> 00:38:45.440
 of us,

00:38:46.399 --> 00:38:47.079
 he said

00:38:47.079 --> 00:38:48.639
 that these

00:38:48.639 --> 00:38:49.239
 shall know

00:38:49.239 --> 00:38:49.859
 ye are my

00:38:49.859 --> 00:38:52.699
 disciples by

00:38:52.699 --> 00:38:53.299
 the fundamentals

00:38:53.299 --> 00:38:53.599
 of the

00:38:53.599 --> 00:38:53.899
 faith.

00:38:55.559 --> 00:38:55.739
 Is that

00:38:55.739 --> 00:38:55.899
 what he

00:38:55.899 --> 00:38:56.119
 said?

00:38:56.839 --> 00:38:57.299
 No.

00:38:57.939 --> 00:38:58.399
 By your

00:38:58.399 --> 00:38:58.779
 love.

00:38:59.500 --> 00:39:00.000
 By your

00:39:00.000 --> 00:39:00.319
 love.

00:39:01.819 --> 00:39:02.579
 We love

00:39:02.579 --> 00:39:04.219
 those who

00:39:04.219 --> 00:39:04.799
 are in

00:39:04.799 --> 00:39:05.619
 trials and

00:39:05.619 --> 00:39:06.399
 afflictions.

00:39:06.599 --> 00:39:07.059
 There's only

00:39:07.059 --> 00:39:07.579
 one way.

00:39:07.839 --> 00:39:08.460
 Pointing them

00:39:08.460 --> 00:39:08.980
 to Jesus.

00:39:10.779 --> 00:39:11.399
 Pointing them

00:39:11.399 --> 00:39:11.839
 to Jesus.

00:39:12.199 --> 00:39:12.579
 You've got

00:39:12.579 --> 00:39:13.960
 millions of

00:39:13.960 --> 00:39:14.419
 people all

00:39:14.419 --> 00:39:14.739
 over the

00:39:14.739 --> 00:39:15.099
 world giving

00:39:15.099 --> 00:39:15.519
 out money

00:39:15.519 --> 00:39:16.960
 to help

00:39:16.960 --> 00:39:17.619
 those in

00:39:17.619 --> 00:39:18.779
 poverty.

00:39:19.179 --> 00:39:19.439
 And I

00:39:19.439 --> 00:39:19.939
 wish I had

00:39:19.939 --> 00:39:20.299
 the money

00:39:20.299 --> 00:39:21.039
 to hand

00:39:21.039 --> 00:39:21.299
 out.

00:39:22.699 --> 00:39:24.219
 Just like

00:39:24.219 --> 00:39:24.519
 Peter,

00:39:24.659 --> 00:39:25.119
 silver and

00:39:25.119 --> 00:39:25.419
 gold have

00:39:25.419 --> 00:39:25.739

00:39:26.480 --> 00:39:26.980
 but such

00:39:26.980 --> 00:39:27.339
 as I

00:39:27.339 --> 00:39:27.639

00:39:28.039 --> 00:39:28.339
 they in

00:39:28.579 --> 00:39:28.939
 of Jesus

00:39:28.939 --> 00:39:29.359
 Christ.

00:39:30.339 --> 00:39:30.599
 Well,

00:39:30.679 --> 00:39:31.059
 what's he

00:39:31.059 --> 00:39:31.659
 talking about?

00:39:32.199 --> 00:39:32.960
 You can

00:39:32.960 --> 00:39:34.419
 do this

00:39:34.419 --> 00:39:34.739
 all the

00:39:34.739 --> 00:39:35.259
 time to

00:39:35.259 --> 00:39:35.639
 the poor.

00:39:36.259 --> 00:39:36.699
 Jesus said

00:39:36.699 --> 00:39:36.960
 the poor

00:39:36.960 --> 00:39:37.500
 you're always

00:39:37.500 --> 00:39:37.719
 going to

00:39:37.719 --> 00:39:38.099
 have with

00:39:38.099 --> 00:39:38.299
 you,

00:39:38.480 --> 00:39:39.359
 but their

00:39:39.359 --> 00:39:39.699
 greatest

00:39:39.699 --> 00:39:40.500
 need is

00:39:40.500 --> 00:39:40.779
 Jesus

00:39:40.779 --> 00:39:41.199
 Christ.

00:39:41.500 --> 00:39:42.099
 And we

00:39:42.099 --> 00:39:42.839
 who are

00:39:42.839 --> 00:39:44.179
 here in

00:39:44.179 --> 00:39:44.939
 this church

00:39:44.939 --> 00:39:46.059
 who know

00:39:46.059 --> 00:39:46.939
 Jesus Christ

00:39:46.939 --> 00:39:47.960
 have the

00:39:47.960 --> 00:39:49.759
 answer for

00:39:49.759 --> 00:39:50.559
 the problems

00:39:50.559 --> 00:39:51.559
 of this

00:39:51.559 --> 00:39:51.859
 world.

00:39:52.039 --> 00:39:52.419
 I didn't

00:39:52.420 --> 00:39:52.800
 say you

00:39:52.800 --> 00:39:53.039
 know how

00:39:53.039 --> 00:39:53.380
 to solve

00:39:53.380 --> 00:39:53.559
 them,

00:39:54.159 --> 00:39:54.800
 but you

00:39:54.800 --> 00:39:55.059
 know the

00:39:55.059 --> 00:39:55.360
 problem

00:39:55.360 --> 00:39:55.720
 solver.

00:39:56.099 --> 00:39:56.380
 And so

00:39:56.380 --> 00:39:56.780
 that's

00:39:56.780 --> 00:39:57.220
 what we

00:39:57.220 --> 00:39:57.599
 want to

00:39:57.599 --> 00:39:57.860
 do.

00:39:58.440 --> 00:39:58.720
 That's

00:39:58.720 --> 00:39:58.940
 what we

00:39:58.940 --> 00:39:59.200
 do in

00:39:59.200 --> 00:39:59.480
 Burkina

00:39:59.480 --> 00:39:59.920
 Fossil.

00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:00.180
 That's

00:40:00.180 --> 00:40:00.400
 what we

00:40:00.400 --> 00:40:00.720
 try to

00:40:00.720 --> 00:40:00.940
 do

00:40:00.940 --> 00:40:01.900
 everywhere

00:40:01.900 --> 00:40:02.559
 else we

00:40:02.559 --> 00:40:03.280
 go.

00:40:04.200 --> 00:40:04.740
 And that's

00:40:04.740 --> 00:40:05.320
 exactly what

00:40:05.320 --> 00:40:05.840
 this church

00:40:05.840 --> 00:40:06.260
 is doing

00:40:06.260 --> 00:40:06.980
 in relationship

00:40:06.980 --> 00:40:07.539
 to the

00:40:07.539 --> 00:40:08.619
 missions and

00:40:08.619 --> 00:40:09.220
 in relationship

00:40:09.220 --> 00:40:09.920
 to bringing

00:40:09.920 --> 00:40:10.619
 in people

00:40:10.619 --> 00:40:11.639

00:40:11.639 --> 00:40:12.400
 reach out

00:40:12.400 --> 00:40:12.980

00:40:12.980 --> 00:40:13.700
 in this

00:40:13.700 --> 00:40:14.340
 community

00:40:14.340 --> 00:40:16.559
 and around

00:40:16.559 --> 00:40:17.099
 Nebraska

00:40:17.099 --> 00:40:18.680
 and even

00:40:18.680 --> 00:40:19.420

00:40:21.159 --> 00:40:21.579
 of the Lord

00:40:21.579 --> 00:40:22.259
 Jesus Christ.

00:40:22.539 --> 00:40:22.920
 Let's pray.

00:40:23.039 --> 00:40:23.460
 Father, we

00:40:23.460 --> 00:40:23.960

00:40:33.880 --> 00:40:34.299
 hearts.

00:40:53.739 --> 00:40:54.619
 This world

 needs Jesus

00:40:55.960 --> 00:40:57.819
 Christ more

00:40:57.819 --> 00:40:58.319

 else that we

00:40:59.619 --> 00:41:00.219

 Father, I
