-
All right, hallelujah, all right, all right, that was for
-
those wonderful, mighty men on that video, right, hallelujah. I
-
love it when the men are stepping up and leading
-
the way.
-
Amen. So the men of New Horizon are mighty.
-
Amen, hallelujah. Well, y'all came to church on the right day.
-
I always say that when I'm up here because I
-
get to share with you, right.
-
I don't always get to come up here, but typically
-
I am going to talk. Today.
-
We're gonna have a real fun recap on some of
-
the mission's outreaches that we have been doing here around Horizon.
-
And we have had a very busy year so far,
-
and it's just dawning on me that we did not
-
put together a recap today of our La Dream Center
-
trip that we took with the youth.
-
What were we again?
-
Oh my goodness.
-
Yeah, in June we took a trip with a bunch
-
of kids down there and had a wonderful time.
-
So we'll have to tell you more about that later.
-
But today I'm going to share with you a little
-
bit about what's going on in missions around here at
-
the Horizon. We are a mission driven church and we
-
love souls. God is after souls one hundred percent, and
-
it's our part to do the giving, the going, and
-
the doing.
-
He's the one that gives the vision.
-
He does all of the mighty workout there and changing
-
lives and that kind of thing, and we get to
-
be a part. He doesn't just do it without us.
-
We get to do it with him. And that's the
-
cool thing. And so today we're gonna do a little
-
bit more mobilizing helping you see what we have.
-
Done already, and it's going.
-
To be a lot of fun today during worship and
-
just kind of as the day has been progressing, I
-
have had just a strong feeling that the Lord wants
-
to make sure that every single one of us know
-
how important every single soul is. That every single soul,
-
whether they are young, whether they are old, whether they
-
have different skin colors, all the different nations, all the
-
different tribes, all the different tongues, whether they are sitting
-
in a pile of dirt with no shoes on and
-
it flies all over the place and kind of smelly,
-
or if they're sitting in the most highest places of
-
power in the world. God loves them. They are a
-
soul that bears the image of him. They are a
-
soul that He has created and made, and He loves
-
every single one equally. Romans ten. I want you to
-
turn to Romans ten. I'm gonna give it to you
-
in the passion. So if you could put it up there,
-
I would love it. Let me see, maybe I can
-
open it up here.
-
Is it up there?
-
Okay, so you guys can all follow along with me.
-
Hold on just a second here, because I want an
-
extra verse here. I'm gonna go a little bit farther
-
than what's up there Romans Chapter ten, Versus thirteen. And
-
it's true, everyone who calls on the name of the
-
Lord will.
-
Be rescued and experienced new life.
-
When before this was written, the people of God were
-
kind of relegated to the Jews, and the gentiles really
-
didn't have access into the things of God. But things
-
changed when Jesus Christ came onto this earth, when he
-
walked as we walk, and he died on the cross
-
for every single soul.
-
And now it is written that everyone, everyone who calls
-
on the name of the Lord will be saved.
-
Everyone will will be rescued and experience new life. But
-
how can people call on him for help? If they
-
have not yet believed, And how can they believe in
-
one they have not yet heard of? And how can
-
they hear the message of life if there was no
-
one there to proclaim it? And how can them message
-
proclaimed if messengers have yet to be sent.
-
That's why the scriptures say, and here's my added one?
-
Or did it get added up? There? It got at it?
-
Did it get added?
-
That's why the scriptures say, how welcome is the arrival
-
of those proclaiming the joyful news of peace and of
-
good things to come?
-
How beautiful?
-
Other translations say, are the feet of those who bring
-
the good news? I am here to say today that
-
anyone who calls on the name of the Lord will
-
be saved.
-
But there is a problem. There are so many people
-
in this world.
-
They do not know the story of Jesus, do not
-
know the life that's available to them, and they are lost,
-
lost in sin, lost in witchcraft, lost in brokenness, lost
-
in the mess that this world wants to hand us.
-
And he is saying God to say, I want to
-
partner with you.
-
I'm waiting for a people.
-
I am waiting for a people to partner with him
-
who are willing to step up and say I will
-
be a messenger for you. I will be one that
-
will go I will make my feet beautiful and be
-
the one that will walk into places around this world
-
no matter where you walk.
-
Some of you walk into places I don't walk.
-
Well, let me just tell you you are a proclaimer
-
of the message of Christ wherever you go. And we
-
are called not only to proclaim the message of God
-
here in Fife, which we are doing. And you're gonna
-
hear a little bit more about that in just a moment,
-
because I'm telling you what. This church can't keep silent.
-
This church will not stay silent. This church will not
-
stay in these four walls. Come in, sit down, sing
-
a song, be good, and.
-
Walk out that door. This church is one.
-
That's about ready to burst out of it seams any
-
person that walks in here. My goal for you is
-
to get so inspired that everywhere you walk.
-
That you start to talk. Ooh, I like that.
-
Everywhere you walk with them beautiful feet of yours. You
-
need to start talking, talking, proclaiming the love of Jesus.
-
Just the other day Dwayne and I went to we.
-
Were kind of you know, you can do this when
-
you're when you get old, and don't have kids to
-
cook for whatever, I don't feel like cooking. Let's go
-
out and we could do that a lot more than
-
if you have went back when we had little kids.
-
Oh no, we never they never saw the inside of
-
a sit down restaurant.
-
Because whenever we did, we left it just a disaster.
-
It was so funny. But uh, anyway, so back on track.
-
Here, him and I went out to a Mexican little
-
place downtown Auburn.
-
There wasn't anybody else in the restaurant.
-
They had piles of food and nobody to sell it to,
-
and so we were talking with them and having a
-
great time, and we got to you know, we kind
-
of were establishing a relationship, and as we were eating,
-
I thought we need to pray for these people. So
-
I said, come on, Duayne. We went up to the
-
counter and there's nobody around. There wasn't a lot to lose, right,
-
and so I said, hey, can we pray with you?
-
And that lady got so excited. Her face lit up
-
and she looked at her her colleague, the guy that
-
she was working with, and she said, see, she said
-
that morning when they had come to work, they had
-
been low on customers. And she had told the gentleman
-
that was working with him with her, we need someone
-
to come in here and pray for us.
-
Can you believe that?
-
Here?
-
Am I send me to every Mexican restaurant because the
-
food was wonderful and we got to pray for those
-
people and it was so fun.
-
But you know what, it took a couple of things.
-
It took some feet willing to get out there and
-
a mouth willing to talk.
-
Will you join with me? Will you be a missionary
-
every day of your life when you wake up in
-
the morning, don't just say ho hum.
-
I want you to say, come on, God, where to today?
-
Amen?
-
Praise the Lord? Okay, So you know this is a
-
time and a day.
-
Something shifted a couple of weeks ago when a certain
-
fellow was assassinated. The word of the Lord has gone
-
forth like never before. The proclamation of the Gospel has
-
been like nothing before. So many believers have thrown off shame, fear,
-
and trepidation, and they have gotten bold and audacious.
-
And I want to say to everyone sitting.
-
In this room, forget about fear, forget about how you
-
have been in the past. I want you to be
-
willing to step up and share the good news everywhere
-
you go.
-
Amen.
-
Well, just a couple of weeks ago, a team of
-
nine of us went to Uganda and I wanted to
-
share a little bit of a video here of our
-
time that we spent there.
-
Have you noticed my skirt? It twirls really good. If
-
I get going, it'll fly up over my face. We
-
better not do that, right.
-
This is a karamode skirt from the Kara Carama Jung tribe.
-
I always get it mixed up on my tongue. The
-
Krama Jung tribe is way up north in Uganda. It
-
took us twelve hours to drive their people, twelve hours
-
stuffed in a van, and most of that time it
-
was a dirt road. A lot of time was spent
-
on you know this guy? Sorry, yeah, for twelve hours.
-
But once we got there, it was amazing.
-
We pulled into I'm gonna give you a little little
-
bit of understanding in context and you'll hear more on
-
the video. We pull into this town and it's the
-
center of witchcraft worship for the region. People from Kenya,
-
of people from the Congo, all over Uganda come to
-
this certain little town that somehow we decided to go
-
visit right at the beginning of their three week festival
-
where they met in a big grove of trees.
-
You're gonna see the trees right there to do their
-
blood animal sacrifice. And here we walk in. Hello.
-
We got a message the night before from gal here
-
at the church, and she said, what I see is
-
a golden dome of protection around you.
-
I didn't even know I needed to be protected at
-
that point.
-
A golden dome of protection over you, and that there
-
are golden angels standing and all this stuff about gold.
-
Little did I know as well, And little.
-
Did she know that in this area they have discovered gold,
-
and this tribe now is sitting on gold and they're
-
trying to figure out what to do with this gold.
-
This tribe is very, very backward. In fact, even the
-
Ugandans don't like to go into this tribe because they're
-
and they call them savages.
-
It's crazy.
-
And we drove right into the middle of it, right
-
through the grove and found a little church meeting under
-
a tree, and we.
-
Shared the gospel. People of God. You look at your
-
feet right now.
-
My guess is if we took all your shoes and
-
socks off, it wouldn't be a pretty sight. I don't
-
know about you, but sometimes feet are funny. But you
-
know what God says about your feet, They are beautiful,
-
especially when you're carrying the good news of Jesus.
-
Amen. Okay, let's get to that video and let's enjoy.
-
I keep my mic up because I might want to
-
jump in and chat, but don't turn off the video.
-
I'm just going to talk over the top of it. Okay,
-
So let's have some fun. This is our trip. This
-
one's on tarmac, though it's not dirt.
-
Everybody, every Yes, we had a lot of time just
-
singing songs.
-
Hello, this is Pastor Joel and I had the privilege
-
and honor of leading this spectacular team to Uganda.
-
One of my personal highlights was the last day that
-
we were out.
-
In Karamojo and we were driving into this town center
-
called knock up here Pirit, which is known to be
-
the center of six districts around for witchcraft and worship
-
of evil and just horrible things. There is a grove
-
they call it a shrine, and that's where people over
-
the following three weeks were going to gather and begin
-
to do animal sacrifices and pray to their gods.
-
We drove right.
-
Into the center of that town. There was a little
-
church that met under a tree, and we met the pastor.
-
We joined into their service. Every team member was able
-
to give their testimony. Each testimony was sharpened by the
-
Holy Spirit. Everyone sitting there under that tree was listening
-
with great attention and an amazing response. The gospel was planted,
-
and we believe that that tree is going to become
-
a church on actual church building, and it is going
-
to be a light that shines in the darkness.
-
To remind you Jesus is here.
-
So my story, yeah.
-
Hi, I mean Angelillis And one of my favorites experiences
-
was being in room but they as they were building
-
this stage, I sat and the children just surrounded me
-
and I was able to bless them and talk with them.
-
And then as they lined up, I was able to
-
pray and bless them each again, and one just really
-
stopped and covered his face and wept and it was beautiful.
-
I'm Sandy. And one of the other projects we did
-
in Musuk was with the partnership with my three sixty project,
-
we were able to purchase one hundred and twenty five
-
pairs of shoes that grow with the small children two sizes,
-
and so we had the delight to wash their feet,
-
give them brand new socks, and then put the shoes
-
on them. We were also able to provide crocs for
-
the older kids and foo flip flops for all of
-
the teachers, So in total, over two hundred pairs of
-
shoes were given out that night.
-
That's them dancing with their new shoes. They couldn't after
-
we passed them all out, the music flipped on and
-
they all started dancing and couldn't hold still.
-
This is Connie McDonald and I'm happy to share with
-
you what I did on the mission trip that I
-
just came back from. And I was working with the
-
women in the Women's Empowerment Center and the three sixty
-
Project making shoes for children. I'd done that before, but
-
this year was even more special because I had a
-
relationship already with these ladies and they knew me, they
-
trusted me, and it was suggested that lunchtime we do
-
a time of speaking into their lives of the prophetic Word,
-
and that was just marvelous. It encouraged the women so much,
-
and it was it was more than just touching their
-
lives in a physical way. It was touching their lives spiritually,
-
and I believe that it'll have impact on their future.
-
So it was a wonderful time.
-
Hi.
-
I'm Stephanie, and I got to go on the trip
-
to Uganda and for our outreach, we went to the
-
northeastern part and we went to three cities and did
-
a feeding.
-
Program for the villages.
-
And so we were in the tiny and a rupa
-
and knackau peri pirit and the people would come from
-
all over and there were so many kids and they
-
would bring their plate and for some of the people
-
it was their only meal at the day or possibly
-
a few days, and so watching them receive the food
-
and then eat the food and then come and say
-
thank you and wave and just show so much gratitude
-
was incredible.
-
It was an amazing experience.
-
I'm Terry.
-
I got to go on the Uganda trip. I was
-
sent here to weld the bunk beds at a primary school.
-
They were all rusted, they were junk. We showed up,
-
no one was there, electricity wasn't on. They turned the
-
electricity on and these children just started coming out of
-
the woodwork. First they were watching Before long they were helping.
-
After a while, we even had children wearing goggles and
-
helping us hold things while we checked and welded, And
-
it just shows that God loves the children. And if
-
you get a chance to come to you Ganda, it
-
would change your life.
-
Hi, I mean, I guess I want to tell you
-
about my experience on the mission trip to you Gonda.
-
The first thing that was really impactful for me was
-
that being really needed on the crew of people finishing
-
the slab for the sanctuary floor. There were guys that
-
could shovel cement and place it, but not too many
-
that who could finish it a little bit do some
-
of them there, and I have quite a bit of experience,
-
so that gave me a lot of joy. The other
-
thing that really found amazingly joyful was the kids response
-
to seeing themselves on my selfie function on my phone.
-
I'd show them the phone with the selfie function and
-
they'd see their face and they giggle and laugh, and
-
then they'd get pulled out of the way because their
-
brother or sister wanted to see it, and then their
-
friend wanted to see themselves, and it was just a
-
tumultuous time of joy and laughter.
-
And fun beautiful.
-
Hi.
-
I'm Joe.
-
Hey.
-
It's been a great couple of weeks in Uganda. I've
-
been here on this mission trip. Pastor and I have
-
spoken at the Pastor's Conference for Yukon, and on Tuesday,
-
when I spoke, the power of God fell many many pastors.
-
About eighty percent of the congregation raised their hand at
-
the altar call to be restored. They've felt frustrated, they
-
felt lonely, they felt abandoned, and they felt like they
-
wanted to quit, and we were able to pray with
-
them and the power of the Holy Spirit hit them
-
and we believe their lives have been changed forever. So
-
if I can do anything, I want to encourage you
-
to come out and be part of this. This is
-
the greatest thing you can do with your life.
-
God bless you, Sandy again, and I wanted to honor
-
our team.
-
They were amazing.
-
No matter where we went and no matter what was
-
happening around them, they would find someone to stop and
-
pray for, whether it was a small child, a teacher,
-
or someone they haven't even met in the market.
-
But they were very good at.
-
Just finding the people who needed encouragement and doing whatever
-
was necessary to provide that WI.
-
Thanks for sending us. Let's go next time.
-
Amen. There you have it. Isn't that fun.
-
At the end there when you saw us praying over
-
a couple kneeling down. That is the little pastor couple
-
from the Congo that we raised money for them to
-
be able to build their church. Do you remember that
-
a couple months ago we got to meet them. Sweet
-
sweet couple, Sweet sweet couple. The other picture, I don't
-
know if you noticed when I was kind of knelt
-
down and kind of showing my hair to some of
-
the kids up in the Caramel John area up in there.
-
White people are not frequent.
-
Let's just say I didn't see one other one while
-
we were there, so we were kind of novel and
-
scaring the kids.
-
They would look at us and I would go like that,
-
and they would run away, especially when they were little.
-
So this one little girl that was in that picture,
-
I kept trying to get her to come back and
-
letting her touch my hair and all that, and finally
-
she got happy and laughed at me. So yeah, that's
-
part of the fun. So lots of great time there.
-
As you could see.
-
We did hands on, we did ministry, we did everything.
-
We're starting to work on our dates for this coming
-
year for missions trips. Who wants to go with us?
-
Who wants beautiful feet?
-
That should be everyone? Okay, so very quickly, ushers, if
-
you would come forward. I failed to do this at
-
the very beginning. But if you are new here at New.
-
Horizon and don't know all the things that we do
-
for missions around here, I have a missions magazine to
-
give to you.
-
It's the same one we did last spring. So if
-
you got it back then don't worry about it.
-
But if you are new, I would love for you
-
to raise your hand and the ushers will get you
-
one and make sure that you know all of the
-
things about what we do here at New Horizon, meet
-
all of our missionaries that we support. You're monthly giving
-
into our Pledge, into our our Missions Fund is absolutely
-
vital to these missionaries that are out there.
-
It keeps them on the field.
-
Also, you are giving every month through our Missions Pledge
-
helps us sustain our local missions. It's very very important.
-
You're going to see some more about that in just
-
a moment, and I'm going.
-
To give you an opportunity to take.
-
Part and get on our missions pledge team and give
-
on a monthly basis.
-
And I really appreciate that. Pastor Dennis, would you come
-
up here.
-
I want to welcome him back to the stage. Pastor
-
Dennis runs all of our local missions and he's got
-
a lot to share with us. And then you have
-
a very special treat coming as well a testimony.
-
So here you go, come on, praise the Lord, give
-
it up for Jesus.
-
Yes, thank you.
-
Father.
-
Hey, so let's just let's just bless right now. Let's
-
just pray really quick. Let's bless all those people that
-
were impacted by our team. So, Father, we just blessed
-
those people right now. Lord that this is an eternal
-
impact that each and every child, each and every minister,
-
each and every pastor have received Lord Jesus and the city,
-
and that the entire country of Ugana will be transformed
-
by the power of the Gospel in Jesus name.
-
Everyone said, Amen.
-
So I get to share with you some exciting things
-
about some of the things that God is also doing locally.
-
Amen. And so we're going to.
-
Start off by giving you a quick recap of the
-
back to school event. I know there's a ton of
-
you here that made the back to School event possible,
-
just really quick. We raised about six thousand dollars to
-
be able to supply back to school supplies, backpacks, food
-
and everything. So please, if you had any anything to
-
do with the back to school event at any capacity,
-
would you just raise your hand. I want to see
-
you if you were involved. Come on, look at that.
-
Look at all those hands. Come on, give it a
-
give it up for them. We actually have a team
-
called the Dream Team that came together to be able
-
to make the back to School event happen a man.
-
Another thing is the food bank ministry. We have a
-
food bank ministry here every Thursday from one to three
-
pm where we serve food and provisions to all of
-
the people in the community that come. And so that
-
happens every Thursday from one to three that's when we're
-
actually serving, but serving actually begins even sooner. So like
-
our truck driving that goes to pick up the food
-
leaves here like around nine to thirty in the morning.
-
And so it's happening.
-
This is happening right here, and you can get to
-
be a part of it as well. And so our
-
food bank team is anybody here ever served in the
-
food Bank team raise your hands.
-
Come on, come on, come on, come on.
-
Yes, yes, yes, yes, praise the Lord.
-
Listen to the thread that's happening here. There's great things
-
that are happening, and they all happen through there's a
-
common denominator.
-
Okay.
-
And so another thing that we do as far as
-
outreach is we have the opportunity of making sack lunches.
-
Has anybody here been able to make sack lunches before?
-
For the outreach ministry? Hands hands, hand.
-
Give it up, give it up. I have a quick
-
check this out.
-
Check this little quick snapshot of the sandwich sack lunches.
-
Look at that.
-
Right here in our foyer Saturday morning before the rest
-
the other part of the outreach ministry. Ministry goes out
-
to bless people.
-
All ages. But I don't remember that sounds like Debbie.
-
She will not miss one of these.
-
Everybody say hello, everything here.
-
And so Nina, Nina, Nina guests to lead this. Let's
-
give it up for Nina. Come on, somebody, Nina wave
-
your hands so people could see you. Thank you so much.
-
And so every Sunday, so right now, because there is
-
some renovations that are happening at the Tacoma Rescue Mission.
-
Our shuttle service, which is another expression of outreach, is
-
not currently functioning because there's a housing situation happening at
-
the Tacoma Rescue Mission, so we don't get to bring
-
those people to be part of the Sunday service experience. However,
-
the Sack Lunch Ministry is still full time going and
-
we still make the sandwiches and we still give.
-
Them out an outreach.
-
So if you want to be a part of that,
-
that's another opportunity that you have for local missions. Another
-
great thing that's happening is Beyond the Walls. I don't
-
know if you guys have heard, but God is on
-
the move and there's another opportunity you will see in
-
the next couple of slides here Beyond the Walls with
-
Lindsey and Delano. Check this out. A mama with a baby.
-
Jesus says it forgives. Can we pray for you?
-
Come on?
-
Look at that young people coming together, mom's dads coming together,
-
preaching the gospel at the Puyalla Fair, preaching the gospel,
-
praying for people, and their testimony of this is like
-
everyone is so eager to receive prayer.
-
People are like yees, pray for me. Yes, everywhere they.
-
Go, come on, yeah, don't mess with our kids at
-
our event.
-
Come on.
-
And in the Capital Olympia, everywhere we go, we are
-
walking posters of the Kingdom of Heaven. Even if you're
-
walking and going for a stroll with your family at Dashboint,
-
come on, somebody, yeah, point rusting, you're in. So many people,
-
so many people, they just see that Jesus is King
-
and they're like, yeah, go ahead and pray for me.
-
You don't even have to approach them and ask them.
-
They just come to you and they want to be
-
prayed for. Come on, God is on the move and
-
so and then along with that, we have an amazing, spectacular,
-
awesome team. Okay, I cannot name all of the people
-
that from our church go out every single Saturday. I
-
think we have a couple of pictures of what happens
-
and every Saturday here in Tacoma in a place where
-
you probably don't want to find yourself around this place,
-
you know, in the wrong time, by yourself, because it's
-
it's really it's really a tough situation.
-
But check this out.
-
So Tony Bradshaw, where's Tony Bradshaw, right here. Tony Bradshaw
-
is the lead for Outreach UH in the Tacoma area
-
along with Leonard White. And if you could see these
-
photos right here, there's food, there's people, there's volunteers that
-
are serving food.
-
Look at those mighty men right there. Come on.
-
And this happens every single Saturday. Look at that meal
-
talking about good food. Passa Joe, yes, yes. And so
-
there's all these things that the Lord is doing through
-
different connections, So not just our church, Like God has
-
blessed us with the opportunity to be there for many
-
years now right in this specific area. And what the
-
Lord has done is he's added more and more people,
-
not just from our church, for other ministries that are
-
coming out and they're literally bringing food, bringing resources, bringing
-
all of the things that we need to be able
-
to be most effective in everything that we're doing out there.
-
People are being saved, people are being healed, people are
-
being restored. Hope is being restored in the lives of
-
so many people. And all of this happens through our generosity,
-
through our giving. Pastor Joe talked about giving, going and doing,
-
and I'm telling you God is on the move, and
-
there's so many things that He's able to do through
-
us when we say yes to him.
-
Amen.
-
So really, I know, maybe once before during or twice
-
before during our outreach event like the Thanksgiving community dinner
-
or Christmas event that we do. Those are other expressions
-
of outreach that we have here for you to be
-
able to be a part of as well. And we've
-
had the opportunity to hear some of the testimonies of people, Okay,
-
that the Lord has completely restored that are here with us,
-
that our leaders in our community that are leading men's group,
-
that are doing amazing things.
-
I mean, even we can go back.
-
To like Frank and Angela and how Frank has been
-
completely restored straight from renal like his past life to
-
being a mighty man.
-
Of God hallelujah, being.
-
Restored, having a beautiful family, to event a man that
-
has a full time job is on her own doing
-
great things for the Lord. Tony Bradshaw as well, we
-
got the opportunity to meet him out in the streets.
-
The Lord brought him.
-
Literally he thought he was lost and he saw Frank
-
out there.
-
He was walking down the street. He's like, Hey, what's up.
-
I'm kind of lost. I'm not sure where I'm going, but.
-
The Lord connected him with Frank out there while he
-
was working. Come on, while you are working, God is
-
bringing people to you to be able to speak about
-
the good news. Next thing you know, the Shutdow Ministry
-
showed up a man and you know, he thought he
-
was going somewhere else and the Shadow brought him to
-
this church.
-
He's like, didn't I see you before?
-
Yeah?
-
I know you.
-
I saw you before too. He didn't even know he
-
was coming here. And the Lord has planted him here.
-
He's doing amazing things through him. He's now the lead
-
for the Outreach ministry. They just launched another campus. Hello, somebody,
-
another campus in another part of town that they've been
-
scouting and looking at a man and praying. And the
-
Lord is keep just keeps bringing other churches and other
-
ministries into what God is doing through them.
-
Amen.
-
So this is what we are all doing together, because
-
whether you're going out there or not, you're giving Amen.
-
You're praying for these people, for our teams to be
-
able to do what we do for His glory. Last update,
-
This Sunday, we had Hamburger sell Hamburgers and chips and
-
it was delicious.
-
I enjoyed with the whole thing.
-
Anybody got to participate on the yummy burgers.
-
Oh the bacon, hallelujah.
-
Okay, we repent Lord, Okay, but it was delicious, It
-
was amazing, It was awesome. And guess what you helped
-
us to raise not almost a little bit above nine
-
hundred dollars for outreach ministry. And you're wondering what kind
-
of things, you know, are we doing. We're not just
-
giving you know, money out there for no reason. One
-
of the quick testimonies, you know what will people are
-
out there serving right there are eminent needs that ray
-
that are you know, that are present. And one of
-
the one of the people I know this quick testimony,
-
one of the people a man that experienced brokenness in
-
his life. It was a commercial driver, commercial driver, so.
-
He's got a CEO.
-
And everything coming out of state, got into a bad
-
situation and never got the opportunity to renew his license
-
to in the state of Washington.
-
He couldn't he couldn't work, his.
-
Family was falling apart, a whole situation, and all it
-
took aside of just loving on him Saturday after Saturday
-
and praying for him Saturday after Saturday and showing up
-
and loving them and showing the love of Jesus to
-
these people. You build a relationship because they are just
-
like you and I. We're looking for relationship and the
-
right relationship, right, a relationship that's.
-
In alignment with God.
-
Guess what one hundred and fifty dollars is all it
-
took outside of you know, prayer and everything else to
-
be able to get this man his Washington State CDL.
-
And now this man has back.
-
Is back on his feet, he's working as a truck driver.
-
God is doing amazing things.
-
So what I want, what I want us to do
-
today is think about this.
-
Think about this. You may not have the opportunity.
-
To travel thirty hours to Uganda, whatever it takes to
-
get there. You may not have the ability to fly
-
down to Los Angeles' Dream Center and all the youth
-
that went to the Mission Strip skid Row looking at
-
the same thing, but in a large scale of the
-
same things that we experience here.
-
Praying for people.
-
The young people from this church led people to the
-
Lord pray for healing. People were healed and restored. Yes, yes,
-
come on, God is on the move. So I'm gonna
-
ask Tony Bradshaw and Jewels to come up to the
-
platform here with me really quick, and let's give it
-
up for.
-
Them as they come up. God is so good. God
-
is so good.
-
So, like I said, you know Tony and Leonard White,
-
they lead outreach ministry here in the Tacoma area. There's
-
another part of town where they're scouting and there and
-
they you know, they've been going out there on Mondays
-
as well to serve people. And God is doing amazing things.
-
And so I also want to ask you to pay
-
attention and place pay close attention to the testimony because
-
the same thing that God has done for Tony Bradshaw,
-
the same thing that God has done in my own life,
-
the same thing that God has done in your own life.
-
Has anybody ever been set free of any addictions in
-
the house?
-
Hello?
-
Somebody?
-
Yes, God is still in the business of restoration, a
-
man of making things new and whole. So we're gonna
-
have Jewls share today her testimony.
-
Amen. And I don't know if you ever remember seeing
-
this young.
-
Lady right here before, but wait till you hear what
-
God is doing in her life.
-
Amen. Thank you.
-
Hi, I'm a little nervous, okay, sorry, My name is
-
Julia Juliano.
-
Most know me as Jewles.
-
Most people knew me as a woman coming to church
-
and living in my car with my three year old child.
-
I was homeless. Wonder who is that woman? Why is
-
she in the car, how did it happen? And who
-
was she before? Wow, I'm just gonna kind of go
-
from the heart. Well, I am a mother of three,
-
I was a homeowner. I had a family. I had
-
a white picket fence. I had a good life. Then
-
one day somebody said, hey, I know you had a
-
weight loss surgery. Do you want to try drugs so
-
you can lose that weight faster?
-
I said yes.
-
My life took a shift. I went in the wrong direction.
-
I was living a sinful life. I started staying away
-
from my home, my kids, my family, my friends, everybody
-
that respected me. Because I was ashamed of who I've became.
-
I started living the street life, living in motels. I
-
lived at the Glacier Motel for two years. I actually
-
got pregnant out on the streets. I was doing many
-
things I shouldn't have done. I ended up getting clean
-
and sober for about a month. One would take my kid, giving.
-
Birth to my son. Shortly back out to the streets.
-
Living in a motel, I was doing things the wrong way.
-
One day, I sat there in the motel room, laying
-
on that floor, drooly, looking at my son. What am
-
I doing with my life? Not only was I crying
-
out to God. I need to change my life. I
-
need to do something different. Right then and there, I
-
sat there and thought, you know, I have Kyler that
-
needs me, but I have two other children at home
-
that I can't go back to that need me as well.
-
I need to straighten up my life. Oh man, where
-
am I going?
-
Okay? Sorry?
-
I ended up in my car. I had a friend
-
come over and pack up my motel room. I could
-
not say goodbye to anyone. I didn't want to say
-
goodbye to anyone because it was time.
-
For me to go.
-
It was my time. I'm sorry, I'm gonna cry.
-
Who okay.
-
I started staying in the rescue mission parking lot. I
-
started staying in the backside a pilot one of the
-
roughest parts of Tacoma. If you don't know where it is,
-
it is definitely rough. With my three year old son,
-
I was crazy off my rocker, mind you. I just
-
cut drugs, cold turkey and was living in my car.
-
I would eat breakfast and dinner at the Rescue Mission
-
and one day I went in with my tray of foods.
-
Someone was helping with Kyler and this man walked up
-
to me. Tony Bradshaw said, Hey, do.
-
You want to come up to me?
-
Come with me and do a Bible study. I said, well,
-
what do I have to lose? I have everything in
-
my car. I've lost everything. Why not I need to
-
After this Bible study that we did, I felt so great.
-
He goes, you know what, I have a church called
-
New Horizon. I will come pick you up on Sunday.
-
I'll take you to it. I said, no, I'm not
-
going to leave my car. Everything I own is blindings
-
are in there. I don't want anyone to steal everything
-
I own and take my car.
-
I'll drive.
-
I ended up coming to church October twenty twenty four,
-
where everybody started praying for me.
-
Well, the prayers were answered.
-
Soon I got accepted into the Adam Shelter by the
-
Rescue Mission for two and a half months, but short.
-
That was lived.
-
I left on Christmas back into my car. Yet I
-
continued keeping my chin up and nose clean. I since
-
then everybody was praying with me, hugging with me, crying
-
with me. Power of prayer is will, it is real.
-
If you're faithful to God, he will answer. I am
-
happy to say today not only am I thankful for
-
going to the feeds that they fed on Saturday, where
-
it helps my son and I eat, which is great,
-
so majing outreach.
-
Today.
-
I'm clean and sober for thirteen months and it has
-
been a life journey. Three months ago, I got a
-
call from the Pierce County Housing Authority and I am
-
proud to say that Kyler and I now have stability.
-
We no longer live in our car. We have a
-
two bedroom apartment here in Fight.
-
But because of New Horizon and all.
-
The support, I greatly appreciate it. In all the prayers,
-
I am continuing my face with God and I continue
-
going forward.
-
Thank you.
-
Sorry, Come on, come on, come on.
-
Waa God, Waa God, Yay.
-
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, Thank you Jesus, thank you Lord, thank
-
you Father God. Yes Lord, hallelujah. Hey listen as the
-
band comes up, come on, come on, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.
-
Tesus hallelujah Jesus, come on, come on, yes, praise and
-
praise Im for here is gone. Come on, yes, you
-
see this beautiful young lady here she has not only
-
her son still with her, has her secure place where
-
she's living. She also has access to being able to
-
see her daughter, a menage. Her relationship with her family
-
is being restored. Hallelujah. Come on, somebody. God is on
-
the move. I'm telling you, God is on the move.
-
Everyone on your feet, Everyone on your feet. Let's stand
-
up for just a moment. Come on, come on, let's
-
stand up for just a moment.
-
Come on.
-
Yeah, Father God, we thank you, We thank you, We
-
honor you, we glorify you, we magnify you, Father God,
-
we thank you, Lord Jesus.
-
Even right now, even right now, you.
-
May not have experienced homelessness yourself. You may not have
-
experienced living in your car, being in in drug addiction
-
to the point where you lose everything, where you're on
-
your face on the floor in a place that's dangerous,
-
that is unsecure, that is not safe, and you're.
-
Crying out to God, the Lord.
-
I'm done, I'm done, I can't no more. Maybe that's
-
not you, but maybe you have a neighbor, maybe you
-
have a son, a grandson, a stepchild, anything. There's somebody
-
that you know, somebody that God.
-
Has brought you to.
-
So that you could be able to minister deliverance to them.
-
The same God that rescue Tony from living in the
-
streets just down the street from here, on the other
-
side of the freeway, he restored his life. I don't
-
know where have you been, what addiction God has set
-
you free from, or what addiction or what situation you
-
want God to bring you from, and just experience complete deliverance.
-
We serve Amighty God. We're not making stories. We're not
-
hearing stories. Oh how cute stories. Oh the hairs in
-
my hands stood up, Oh what a cute, beautiful story. No,
-
this is the power of God moving in front.
-
Of us right here.
-
Yes.
-
In Africa too, Yes, in Mexico too. Yes, in California also, Yes,
-
in Thailand. Yes, in Texas and wherever the Lord has
-
put us to minister to and to plant seas and
-
to see his kingdom come.
-
Yes.
-
It's so real. It's so real. It's in front of
-
our eyes reel. It's like we can touch it. Real,
-
the hand of God, the move of God happening right here,
-
right now. Whoo Jesus, oh God.
-
Pastor Joe said, we're called as a house to give,
-
to go and to do.
-
This might be your first time here, or you might
-
be coming here for a little bit.
-
You've been watching.
-
Online figuring out if you're gonna come ever.
-
And be a part of this house. Guess what.
-
God is calling you, and he's inviting you to be
-
a part of what He is doing. We believe in
-
the transformation not only of the city of Fife, but
-
we live. We believe in the transformation of our entire
-
nation and nations of the world.
-
We will not stop.
-
Unto every tongue and every tribe, unto everything in the
-
world is covered by the glory of God. That's the
-
invitation for you and I. That's what God is calling
-
us to do right now. Jule's daughter today came up
-
even received prayer today for the first time received prayer.
-
God is on the move.
-
Yes, yes, yes, yes, come on, Josie saying yes He's
-
got us here.
-
Oh what a God.
-
So if you would just lift up your hands today
-
with me hold a basha. Blessed are the feet of
-
those that proclaimed the good news. Blessed are the feet.
-
Beautiful are the feet. Father, We say yes to you today.
-
Father, we repent.
-
We repent for looking the other way. We repent for
-
being quiet. We repent for not going, for not doing,
-
for not giving.
-
We repent, Lord, We turn our hearts.
-
We turn our hearts.
-
Away from a hearten and noe of a heart. We
-
turn away from that right now, and we turn to
-
Yogad and we say, Lord, here I am, send.
-
Me, here, I am, Lord, send me, send me, Send me.
-
That's your finance, because where your heart is, that's where
-
your treasure is.
-
Where your treasure is, that's where your heart is.
-
Also, So if it's in the finances where God is
-
calling you to go, then.
-
We thank you God that you've.
-
Given us soft hearts, that we no longer have hard hearts,
-
that we have soft hearts that respond to you. That's
-
saying yes to you, and we're gonna give. If God
-
is calling you to go, to do praying consistently daily
-
for the pastors that are being persecuted right now as
-
we're gathered here in this beautiful building. They're being persecuted.
-
There's wish craft that's happening, there's their lives are at risk.
-
They can't even build a church because they'll they'll destroy it.
-
They have to hide, They have to figure out how
-
they're gonna how they're gonna eat, how they're gonna feed
-
their families. However, God is calling you today to do,
-
to go, to give.
-
I just thank God.
-
That we are a people of soft heart, that we
-
no longer have the heart and hearts. But it's so
-
easy to respond to hear his voice, to hear his calling,
-
and to go to do and to give.
-
That the story of.
-
Tony Bradshaw, that story, the story of Julia Julie how
-
we lovingly call her, the story of Yvonne, the story
-
of many people here today. It won't be once. Oh yeah,
-
that one story on that this is the new normal.
-
That more people keep coming, that more people are being restored,
-
that more people are being healed, that the men that
-
we are mending the broken, that the broken are being
-
mended in Jesus' name. Hallelujah.
-
This is that new normal.
-
Hallelujah. We see your kingdom come. We say, your kingdom come.
-
We pull your Kingdom.
-
Of God right here, right now, violently.
-
Your will is being done.
-
Hallelujah. We are people.
-
Cad to restore every person, restored lives, restored life, restored, restored,
-
to restore lives.
-
And to bring glory to God. Onto the whole earth.
-
Onto the whole.
-
Earth, not just fife, not just my neighbor, not just
-
my sister, not just my father, not just my brother.
-
Come on, onto the.
-
Whole earth is filled with His glory.
-
Home, the whole earth filled with your glory.
-
Come on, come on, come on.
-
Just let your spirit cry out. Come on, let your
-
spirit cry off.
-
Feel, feel, feel the way, feel the calling of God
-
upon your life.
-
The whole earth must be filled with.
-
The glory of God.
-
Come on, come on.
-
Cry out to him.
-
Say Lord, here I am Lord, Send me, Send me Lord, Yes, Jesus, Yes, Jesus.
-
I wanted to close our eyes, lift up our hands,
-
and let's just pray for the common denominator in all
-
of these things that I mentioned locally, even internationally, the
-
common thing. The common denominator is volunteers, is the people
-
that respond to God's calling and say, yes, Lord, I
-
will go, Yes I will give, Yes I will do.
-
We can't have the same impact if it's just me
-
or if it's just you. If you notice every single
-
thing that we've mentioned that we've gone. It takes an
-
entire team. It takes an entire team to be able
-
to accomplish and to see the fruition of what is
-
in God's heart. And so today we're gonna invite you to,
-
with your hands extended, just receive, just receive from the Lord.
-
What is God telling you to do today? Father, We
-
say yes to you. Father.
-
Our hearts are soft, no longer herd. We say yes
-
to your word. We say yes to your will. We
-
say yes, by the God, we will do, We will go,
-
We will give.
-
Lord.
-
Yes, Lord, we say yes because we want the restoration
-
of all people, every nation, every tribe, every time. Yeah,
-
we want to see the manifest glory of God, not
-
just here in our building, in our church, but beyond
-
the walls, hallelujah, in our cities, in our schools, in
-
our workplaces, Father.
-
God, and the schools.
-
Lord, in the universities, Father God, in every area and
-
the media, Lord, in every area of influence.
-
Father God.
-
Yes, yes, Lord, we say yes.
-
We will go, We will do, We will give hallelujah.
-
We received a mandate from you, Lord, and we thank you.
-
Put your hands together for Jesus hallelujah,
