  5. of every tribe, kindred tongue and people. Did I remember nation? Amen?

  6. And we are. We're called to be one. We're called to love

  7. as one, work as one, strengthen one another as one. And one

  8. of the ways we do all of that is through our small group ministry.

  19. Who's your connect group pastor right, who's your lay pastor. That's what

  20. we're asking. We're asking, are you connected to somebody in leadership who is

  21. caring for you? You're submitted to your allowing ministry to come through them to

  22. you. Because this is one of the ways that we pastor the body,

  23. that we care for, the flock, that we build one another up.

  98. part of this service, So come on back to your seats. We got

  99. good stuff coming. We're gonna tell you some stories about our mission trip.

  100. Good job. I love it how this church loves to mix and mingle.

  101. Connect groups are the best. Amen, awesome. I would like four hour

  102. Uganda team members that are still here today that ended up coming today to come

  103. on up and grab a seat on the stools. I promised you last week

  104. that you would hear some stories this week about about Uganda. We had gotten

  105. in a little late Saturday, got home about eight o'clock at night, so

  106. none of us were really prepared to be able to share last week, and

  107. so we've had a lot of week this week to sleep. I am finally

  108. back in this time zone, and I think most of my brain cells have

  109. joined me back in the time zone the Pacific. Is it Pacific Standard time

  110. that we're in? I think it is. It's great. How many of

  111. you got your name down on a couple of small group lists. Raise your

  112. hand high if you've signed up for some good job, Good job, We're

  113. so grateful for that. We love our small groups around here. We love

  114. connecting, we love being able to minister to you on a little bit more

  115. one on one basis. It's fabulous. You get to know people, you

  116. become friends and lifetime friends actually through small groups and care groups, and that's

  117. awesome. Well, I wanted to read to you the scripture that we kind

  118. of used to kick off our missions series, if you remember, back in

  119. March, I read to you the greatest commandment of all. There was some

  120. pharisees and sadducees that were wanting to trip Jesus up, and so they came

  121. to Jesus and said, Jesus, what is the most important commandment? And

  122. he thought that they would say, you know, Jesus would say, well,

  123. you're better, You're better not sin, or you're better do things right,

  124. or you better not touch anything unclean, or you're better not lots the

  125. lot of the better nuts. But they found that Jesus did not give them

  126. any dues and dots. Instead, he gave them a standard for relationships,

  127. a standard for how we are to handle one another and him. And so

  128. let me read this to you, Jesus answered him, this is the greatest

  129. commandment of all, Love the Lord your God, with every passion of your

  130. heart, with all the energy of your being, and with every thought that

  131. is within you. This is the greatest and supreme commandment. And the second

  132. is like it in importance. You must love your friend or neighbor. Love

  133. your friend or your neighbor in the same way that you love yourself. So

  134. when he just describe how we are supposed to love God, he's also describing

  135. how we are supposed to love our neighbor, love those around us, love

  136. those who are in need, Love every other person, not just the ones

  137. that look like you, live in the same nation and talk just like you.

  138. We're supposed to love everybody. And when you look around this room,

  139. you're gonna find that God loves variety. He doesn't like same same. But

  140. yet we have a tendency sometimes to gravitate towards same same, Like if you

  141. don't speak my language, or if you don't look like me, or you

  142. don't do things like I do we kind of, or maybe you're not the

  143. same generation as me, or maybe you're not in the same socioeconomic class as

  144. me. We tend to gravitate towards same same and God is saying to us,

  145. hey, listen, I didn't make same sing I have made a lot

  146. of variety. And it is your job to love me with all of your

  147. mind, all of your energy, and all of your strength, and then

  148. to turn around and love everyone around you. I don't care what color their

  149. skin is, what language they speak, what their background is. I don't

  150. care. Love Amen. And so that's what we do around here at New

  151. Horizon. We have a very strong outreach towards missions. And that's kind of

  152. the drumbeat that I'm always pounding, just to keep us looking outside of ourselves.

  153. Did you know did you know that? Yeah, you got up this

  154. morning and you drove to church and we just had church together. But this

  155. is not the sum total of the whole world's church. Sometimes we think that

  156. the one little thing that we do, the place we go and the chair

  157. that we sit in, and the people that kind of we bump up against

  158. at church, that's the sum total of all God's church right here. But

  159. that's not the case. Did you know that? Probably well, Uganda is

  160. ten hours ahead of us. So if you look around all the way around

  161. the world, ten twelve, fifteen hours ago, other people around the world

  162. woke up and ate maybe a different breakfast than you did, and they got

  163. to church, and maybe in a different way than you did. Maybe not

  164. in their own little car. Maybe they had to ride a boat a boat,

  165. and maybe they had to ride a horse, maybe they had to walk.

  166. But they went to a church. Maybe it didn't look like this,

  167. maybe it was a grass hut. But they all came together and they worshiped

  168. the same God, with the same heart and with the same spirit, all

  169. the way around the world. And it's pretty cool how God has it,

  170. Because have you ever been to like the Seahawks game or somewhere in the Call

  171. to seum where one part starts to shout and then the next and it's kind

  172. of that what do they call that, the wave that goes all the way,

  173. Well, that's what happens every seven days on this planet. Wherever the

  174. first time zone is, I don't know where it is. But they got

  175. up and they worshiped the Lord. They stood up and they learned truth,

  176. and they loved God, and they learned they heard the same message of forgiveness

  177. and of repentance and living for Him. And then the next time zone and

  178. the next time zone and the next time zone. We're kind of the last

  179. ones to the party. Did you know that we kind of finish shut up

  180. right here in the Pacific. I think Hawaii is the next one, and

  181. then I think it starts all over again somewhere in there. But the reason

  182. why I'm sharing this with you is I want us always to realize that our

  183. little world, our little slice of the Kingdom, is not all that there

  184. is, and that there is a whole world out there, a whole world

  185. out there that loves God. But there's also a whole world out there that

  186. doesn't know about him. There's a whole world out there that God has put

  187. together and loves just as much as He loves you, and He's called you

  188. to love them. Amen. So we spend time and money and resources here

  189. at New Horizon because I love to keep in front of your hearts and in

  190. front of your eyes and in front of your mind all of our neighbors,

  191. all of humanity, so that we can become generous people. You know,

  192. when there's a need around the world for a well in a community, they

  193. have a need. But did you know that I don't have a need for

  194. a well. I have a need to become generous. They might need water,

  195. but my soul needs the exercise of generosity, and so in the midst

  196. of all of it, it's a beautiful thing. Amen. So last week

  197. on Saturday, we returned from our trip to Uganda, and you all helped

  198. send us there, and you all did a bunch of work and you didn't

  199. even know it. So we are here to share with you some of the

  200. things that you did without even knowing it, because you supported us financially and

  201. we were able to care for people, change people's lives and do a using

  202. things. So I have a group of people behind here. Each of one

  203. is going to tell a different story. And I'm going to start with mister

  204. Wolfe, if you would come up part of our team. Mister wolf don't

  205. you love mister wolf I love him? So him and mister Sims over here.

  206. UH preached at a pastor's conference and there were about three hundred pastors there,

  207. and I want you to share some pictures and some stories about your time.

  208. There's pictures all ready together. There's the picture that's actually a boozy.

  209. We did a marriage conference there and so that was something that was the first

  210. three days we were there. Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Figure out,

  211. Uh, this is the apostle seed of my own jo So he flew in.

  212. This is at the pastor's conference, so Avoniar and heavy, which was

  213. near Lake Victoria if you look it up on the map. But he flew

  214. in yesterday before. So he's here on a on a trip. So we

  215. had an amazing time that the Pastor's conference, who were there five days before

  216. we left. I didn't know exactly what the Lord was going to have me

  217. share on, but the Lord gave me a word, and the Lord showed

  218. me like revelation one unto Him who loved us and washed us from our sins

  219. in his own blood, and hath made us kings and priests unto God and

  220. his Father. So the Lord, the Lord gave me a word to deliver

  221. over there about bringing the communities of these pastors, bringing those communities into heaven

  222. on earth, and that God was actually appointing them as royalty. They weren't

  223. just the priests of their community or their village, but they were the kings

  224. of their village, and that they were to raise up kings as kings,

  225. they were to raise up kings in their community. And so it was so

  226. amazing. It was anointed. God was all over it. It was wonderful.

  227. And then we got to anoint all of these pastors as kings over their

  228. community and it was I think it literally with earth shaking, it was so

  229. rich. And then you all helped us distribute books. So we took four

  230. hundred and fifty books over there and distributed Move your Mountain books, the Self

  231. Deliverance book, the Restored Life Book, to Communion book. So we just

  232. overwhelmed them with a book distribution at the end of the week and just had

  233. an amazing time with us. So thank you for being a part of that.

  234. And just remember this over you as well, that you were not paupers

  235. in God, that God calls you kings and priests, and that you are

  236. the ones who reign with Him. We brought the word of Ecclesia to them,

  237. we brought the word of Apostle to them, and it's just you know,

  238. some of what we've gotten to partake of God was shifting in their hearts

  239. as well, and it was amazing. So thank you so much. Amen.

  240. From what I hear, they blew it up over there, and Pastor

  241. Joe come on up here and you share what you did. Well, we

  242. I was. It was my first trip and in the past i've I've been

  243. one to send but never to go. And this time I went. And

  244. I won't ever be the same. And I will tell you, I want

  245. you to just focus on this for just a second. This picture here,

  246. this little guy is God free and Godfrey is a pastor. And on Thursday,

  247. after I shared on armor bearing and raising up an armor bearer, he

  248. ran to me after service or after after the message and handed me six thousand

  249. shillings And that's about a dollar sixty in your money, but that's over half

  250. a day's wages for the average Ugandan. So he grabbed me and gave that

  251. to me and and said, I'm sewing this for my ministry and you know,

  252. believing for God to raise up an armor bearer for him. And see,

  253. you know, we're bringing stuff to these guys that they need. But

  254. I want you to understand, somebody, because what grabbed my heart was that.

  255. But what really grabbed my heart was the fact that these people walk in

  256. a humility that is so amazing and so precious. And you know, in

  257. America, what we see and I don't want to be critical but the reality

  258. is we like our comforts and and I don't know many of us here who

  259. would sit in a cinder blocked building with a non vented metal roof in ninety

  260. degree heat for hours and hours, five days in a row to hear the

  261. word we'd want our comfortable chair. These are wooden chairs. These aren't comfortable,

  262. and we'd want we'd want you know, where's the coffee bar? Where?

  263. And you know, but they're humble, not in the sense of of

  264. a pity humble, but they're humbled because they only want God. They only

  265. want what He has for them. They only want what Jesus brings. And

  266. that's the humility that Jesus was talking about in the Beatitudes when he said blessed

  267. are the meek, he meant that to be that blessed are the ones who

  268. only seek God, who run after Him with everything that they have. That's

  269. who I want to be. And so as important as it was for us

  270. to bring something to them, I think it's equally as important for us to

  271. take something from them. And so today my encouragement to you is that you

  272. know, don't don't sit here thinking this is you know, we've arrived at

  273. something we haven't arrived at anything until we've arrived at the power and the foot

  274. of the Cross, and said, God, all I want is you.

  275. So my encouragement to you today is to you know, go and be and

  276. do and be a part of this thing, and you'll never be the same

  277. again, I promise you. Amen, God bless you. Amen. So

  278. Pastor Dwayne and Joe stayed all week, pretty much the whole time teaching in

  279. the Pastor's conference and that kind of thing, and the rest of us climbed

  280. in a coaster. A coaster is of a bus of sorts, and we

  281. rattled down the road for about seven hours potholes and speed bumps on the main

  282. highway down to Metucula. And so let's have Debbie come on up. And

  283. so what we did was when we were in Metucula we did a medical clinic

  284. and then we also, because it was the rain we bought, we brought

  285. the rain, which they were all happy that we had brought the rain.

  286. But that minute was the beginning of planting season, and so a lot of

  287. the women were out in the fields planting on the two days that we had

  288. planned the medical clinic. So even though we had planned for about a thousand

  289. people eight hundred two thousand to come to through the medical clinic. We didn't

  290. have that many numbers, and so we served who was there, and then

  291. we took advantage of it and we went on a little hike. We went

  292. on a sojourn. Because Justice and Rose are the doctor and his wife there.

  293. They do outreach to all of the teen mothers who they he's delivered their

  294. babies who have absolutely nothing. They don't have, they haven't graduated from school,

  295. and they have multiple children, and they are the poorest of the poor.

  296. So Debbie, would you kind of take us on a little tour of

  297. that little walk that we took. Okay, like Pastor said, we all

  298. kind of gathered up and the social worker that was at the clinic, he

  299. was our interpreter, and go ahead and just keep rolling through Johnny. And

  300. so the places we visited, this hut here a girl named Elvis, I

  301. think she do in September. She wasn't very old. Her mom and two

  302. sisters lived in the little village keep rolling Johnny, and so she didn't have

  303. any place to go. And women have a different position. We in America

  304. don't even understand how the women are yeah, it's just different. And the

  305. babies, they're just This woman was so blessed because we gave her stuff and

  306. she had this little baby named Daphne, and I said, oh, I

  307. have a granddaughter named Daphne, so I mean we kind of related. And

  308. then we went to this first place and it was like a cinder block room.

  309. I knelt to pray for this lady and this is Diana. She and

  310. her husband she was married, are building a house. She had half of

  311. the roof done and it was a rainy season, so I don't know how

  312. they were going to survive on that, but they lived just so meagerly.

  313. It's just really they do wonders with what little they have. This is another

  314. group that had babies, and I'm like Pastor said, these are teenage mothers

  315. and from my understanding during COVID, a lot of these girls i'm got pregnant

  316. without the fathers sticking around, and so they're, you know, relying on

  317. their own. And then that's one of the babies. You guys, babies,

  318. Oh they're my heart. And there was a lot of them. We

  319. just loved them to death. And then an older lady named Eva. She

  320. was the mother of the three Elvis was one of her children, and then

  321. the two older ones, and they had a baby, and they lived in

  322. a little tiny, square cinder block place. I prayed for her, but

  323. I had to kneel because I couldn't stand up, and I'm not a tall

  324. person. That's Eva right there. She speaks six languages, however, not

  325. English, so we had a translator. But the women and the children there

  326. that they just if you have a servant's heart, you have to go,

  327. because you will just it's life changing, it really is. We are all

  328. so blessed, you don't even know how much. So that last lady there,

  329. she lives in a little squares probably ten by ten that you can see

  330. the doorway there. It's filled. She lives there with her her two teenage

  331. daughters who also have children. And so there was one mattress in the corner,

  332. and that mattress was about a four inch foam that is typically covered in

  333. fabric. All the fabric had been ripped off, the foam was falling apart.

  334. They sleep like cordwood, you know, all the way across. They

  335. put their heads on the mattress and their bodies on the cement floor. So

  336. you know what you did. Do you know what you did? Well?

  337. You bought new mattresses for all of the single mama's over there. We bought

  338. about forty, Yes you did, Oh yes, shoe did you have no

  339. idea how busy you were when you were over there. But your giving into

  340. missions gave me the power to take extra cash over so that when I found

  341. needs like this, I was just like, no, we can't do this

  342. anymore. So we bought forty mattresses for forty of the single moms. You

  343. did, right, Okay, So Connie did not stay for second service,

  344. So let's go to Connie's pictures very quickly. Connie spent her week working for

  345. my three sixty shoe project. That's a little little child that runs around the

  346. compound there. But what she did was she worked with that team right there

  347. and worked for five day, four days, four days, sewing and putting

  348. together shoes. And that is her right there working. And these are those

  349. really cool shoes that expand two sizes, so when you give the child a

  350. shoe, it actually grows with them. It's just the nifty thing. So

  351. it starts off like what you just saw. And then she was sewing and

  352. she was cutting and she was nipping. She was working really hard, all

  353. by herself from our team with all those other people. She had the time

  354. of her life. We then went on Friday to this church here that has

  355. a school and an orphanage attached to it. Those are all children sitting there.

  356. There's hundreds of them. And we went in and we had a little

  357. children's ministry time and pray taught them the word, and then we all lined

  358. up. Go to the next picture. Those are the shoes that we brought.

  359. We brought three hundred fifty. Now stay right there. That is a

  360. foot that was presented to me. What happens is is the children would come

  361. sit down in the chair in front of us. They'd put one foot up

  362. on your lap, and you had some baby wipes and you'd wash their feet

  363. and there you go. And then you'd put a fresh pair of socks,

  364. brand new socks on them, and a pair of shoes. So go back

  365. to that foot, that foot. Okay, that foot came to me with

  366. no shoes on it, but about I don't know how many inches of dirt.

  367. So what you see there you can kind of see the light skin that's

  368. I had soaked it with about fifteen baby wipes and scrub till I could finally

  369. find skin. So this little guy cute us little guy in the world,

  370. and he had clean feet by the time I was done, and I was

  371. out of baby wipes, So go ahead and go forward. These are Unfortunately

  372. we cropped that picture. That little boy has shoes on his feet, and

  373. there's some more shoes, and the next one, this is Connie. This

  374. is us lined up. We had probably fifteen or twenty of us doing this.

  375. It was very sad when the last shoe was given away because we had

  376. not run out of children. So you are the ones that paid for those

  377. shoes. You were busy that week. Thank you, Thank you so much

  378. for that. Let's see how about Pastor Dennis. Okay, So we got

  379. the opportunity to see an extension of what the Lord is doing here locally through

  380. the Food Bank Ministry and the Hispanic community Gloria Rios por laid Hispana Amen.

  381. And so not only is the Lord building this house Amen and building the nations

  382. through the Hispanic community the Food Bank ministry, but now as a community we

  383. come together and we break the spirit of poverty in Lucaya, Uganda by raising

  384. this farm, chicken farm, poultry farm. We call it jokingly, we

  385. call it the chicken coop because that's what we thought we were gonna build.

  386. But this turned out to be a huge in men's project and the whole process

  387. of self sustainability, the business model, the education that goes into the school.

  388. It's like a whole beautiful ecosystem that the Lord is doing through your generosity.

  389. Amen. So I got to be a part of that along with every

  390. one of you. So thank you for buying tamales, Thank you for buying

  391. tacos. Yeah, it's an honor and a great privilege to be a part

  392. of a church that it's so giving. Amen. So that's it. Amen.

  393. So yep, there's the kids. Oh I forgot all about this.

  394. So everything over there is done with so much joy and dance and beautiful smiles.

  395. Look at that, I mean, come on. And so basically the

  396. kids did a presentation for us, and through dance and music and wonderful drum

  397. playing, they presented a story of a child that was sick and they prayed

  398. to the Lord the child. That little kid right there, he's got the

  399. moves, man, he makes me look bad. So he rose up from

  400. the sickness, he was healed and everybody's dancing and expressing thanksgiving on to the

  401. Lord. So it was amazing. We love our people and men. Amen.

  402. Amen, Miss Sandy, help us understand what you did out in Matukulis.

  403. So when we were at the out doing the medical clinic, the doctors

  404. and nurses were busy dispensing medications and taking care of it. And then this

  405. lady was doing her thing, So help you help them understand what they did

  406. while you were doing your thing. Oh, y'all, help me do something

  407. I love. And it's not the first time I've been able to do it,

  408. but it's the first time I've been able to tell you about it.

  409. So one of the issues, the farther out to go, the less money

  410. there is, it feels like, and some of the young ladies, if

  411. they don't have enough, why hand it out Feminine hygiene kits. So if

  412. they don't have everything they need to be able to go to school, then

  413. they miss a week of school a month. So what we did is we

  414. brought kits that I was trained by an international organization to present them, but

  415. our Boosey Women's Empowerment Center was trained by the same organization to make them.

  416. So everything was bought local, everything was made local, the money stayed local.

  417. It helped support the ladies in Boosey. And then we get the gift

  418. of taking these to these young ladies out there and do classes, small groups

  419. of classes and get to just have fun with them. Explain it that little

  420. lady is just saying thank you for her kid. We had a blast with

  421. Maureen. You see in the corner. They're one of the nurses in Matukola.

  422. So thank you all for paying for those kids and help, you know,

  423. help and make that happen. But one of the other things that I

  424. wanted to share with you, and that I really really noticed was super highlighted

  425. to me on this trip was that regardless of what each person thought they were

  426. going with or not going with as far as what they were contributing, God

  427. took that yes for them and just turned it. He multiplied it, and

  428. he turned it into something else. I watched my husband, who planned to

  429. go and teach bring healing in a relational situation that had been ongoing for a

  430. while. I watched Pastor Joel, who had a list of, you know,

  431. important things to do, sit for an hour in a plastic chair and

  432. lock eyes with a local pastor's wife and encourage her because she was all alone

  433. out where she was at. You know, I watched a dentist who thought

  434. he was going for chickens raise up some young men and sit them down and

  435. teach them about leadership and then go play soccer with them and let him get

  436. all the energy out. Debbie, who was going for you know, loving

  437. on babies and ladies, sharing her testimony in such a vulnerable way, and

  438. the response that those ladies had to her, and what a gift to that

  439. was to them, and for Connie. I got a note this morning from

  440. the leader of my three sixty saying what an encouragement she was to the team.

  441. And I don't know if she even relies to that, But each one

  442. of us brought things to the table that we might not have even noticed ourselves

  443. unless Holy Spirit highlighted them. And I want to say it's the same for

  444. y'all. And I know some of you sitting out here have been there before

  445. and you know what I'm talking about, and some of you might want to

  446. go, And even if you don't go, and if you stay here and

  447. you serve, it's the same thing God take sure yes, and he multiplies

  448. it, and he affects people in ways that you don't even realize are in

  449. you. He'd brings out those gifts in you and gives them to those people

  450. around you. So don't quit. Don't quit. Say yes any chance you

  451. get and watch and see what happens. Amen, How many of you remember

  452. in the month of March, this last month, at last March, we

  453. did missions a month and we raised finance to put a well in. Do

  454. you remember that? Who was there? Raise your hand? Were yep?

  455. Most of you. So go to the Comango pictures. That is the well

  456. that you put in. They had just completed it when we got there.

  457. So we pumped water out of that well with all the kids. Keep going.

  458. The kids drank water out of cupt straight from the water well instead of

  459. having to go to the swamp that had just opened. We had just opened

  460. this water well. That was part of the community that came for the dedication

  461. for that water well. Look at what you did, Remember I told you

  462. you were busy. We bought jerry cans and gave jerry cans out to the

  463. community so that they would be able to have something for carrying water. Back

  464. and forth from that water. Well, look at what you did. You

  465. bought that. We loved on those kids. We put balloons in every one

  466. of their hands, and we prayed over them, and we had a wonderful,

  467. wonderful service we played with them. It was fabulous. Go to the

  468. Metuculis slides if you would. This is some of this. Go ahead,

  469. just keep going, just go through them pretty quickly. That was one of

  470. the groups that we were dealing. You're not dealing, but working with.

  471. Dennis is one of these children. Remember Spencer, Look at Dennis. Keep

  472. going because there's more of him in there. There's Spencer. Keep going.

  473. Yeah, we had a hoot working together, sharing testimonies. He is in

  474. He's in the bottom of that pile, Dennis is. Yeah, he's in

  475. the bottom of that pile. You can't see you can which head is his?

  476. Can you see which head is his? It's the bald one right there.

  477. Okay, keep going, keep going? Is that it for down there?

  478. Okay? Well that is it? Okay. I want to welcome Yeah,

  479. we'll leave that one up. How's that? Oh boy? I want

  480. to welcome Pastor Stephen Mayanga up here and he's gonna close us out We're gonna

  481. hear from him. Hallelujah. On behalf of Yougana Christian Outreach Ministers and on

  482. behalf of the World Outreach Minister Foundation. I just want to say thank you

  483. very much for teaming up with Jesus, for teaming ups with us to change

  484. Africa for Jesus. And I would like to share a scripture with you and

  485. a few remarks. Isaiah chapter six, verse eight. The Bible says,

  486. then I had the voice of the Lord saying home, Shaha, send and

  487. who will go for us? And I said, here, I am send

  488. me. It's unbelievable that God, the creator of the whole world, God

  489. who is able to do things, who created heaven and earth, sit there

  490. and say who will go for us? I just want you to know God

  491. cannot change people without people. God's changing people through people. God loves people

  492. through God, bless people through you. Can do better than that. God

  493. bless people through God, change people through God, transform villages and the community

  494. through and the people. As is the Church, God, the Father,

  495. God, the Son, God, the Holy Spirit. Prist you makes a

  496. very dangerous team. Now let's sit down. Let's see this is the Church,

  497. this is you, when you accept Jesus to come to become your Lord

  498. and savior. You wait Jesus come into your life. So pastor and prist

  499. Jesus. Those are two day and when you received the holiday, the holiday,

  500. he comes into your life. For many. How many are in this

  501. and then we get him on their father and he looks like your father.

  502. How many now are in this box? Oh, so like they say me,

  503. come aloud at me, Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ, all the spirits

  504. Father, rast go the Father. We are up there your last him.

  505. So whenever you go, Gods, his kingdom is in you. The good

  506. and the God has heart to beat his missions missionless love, missionless missions love.

  507. So when God wanted to bring people to deliver people from Egypt out of

  508. bondage, he said, in his word, I have a heart the Christ

  509. of my people. I have seen their suffering, I have filled their pain.

  510. I have come to deliver them. Then God go, Did God go?

  511. He said, Moses come to deliver, to take a nation out of

  512. a nation without a gun, but with the presence of God, the Trinity

  513. teaming up with Moses. Hallelujah. In the Second King chapter five, Now

  514. I many made a mistake of taking a girl. We don't know her name.

  515. But that kingdom of God was in that younger girl. She was employed

  516. in the yaman's home. If you are working somewhere, you are an ambassador.

  517. Say amen, the kingdom of God has gone into that place. When

  518. that that is missions by the way. So when that the girl was in

  519. the Armand's home, the kingdom of God, the Father, the Son,

  520. and the Holiday was lulling and raining and taking dominion in Armand's house. She

  521. did not feel sorry for herself. Many of us have missed to be used

  522. of God because we think about ourselves. We feel sorry for ourselves. But

  523. when you have God, the Father, the Son, and the Holiday,

  524. you have the eyes of God. You have the ears of God. You

  525. have the sound mind of God. You see what God sees. You hear

  526. with God hears. You have the sound mind of God. You have the

  527. heart bit of God. So was that younger girl when she was in Ammani's

  528. house. She did not think about herself like most of us today. She

  529. would have said, God, why don't you deliver me, Why don't you

  530. restun me? Why do you allow me? God's ways are not our ways?

  531. He sent we talk about giving, we talk about going, and we

  532. talk about doing. God can't send you any way. He sent her in

  533. a way no mane can understand. And when she was there, she had

  534. the eyes of God. She's saw death in her Armani's home. She saw

  535. tears in missus Namani's eyes. She's saw children who are hurting because Dad was

  536. full of repressed. She was representing God. She spoke on behalf of God,

  537. the Father, God, the Son, and God the Holyday and amand

  538. went and she said, if my master, can God see my pastor,

  539. he will be healed of his deprosed. The Kingdom of God changed now Armand's

  540. house. The Kingdom of God changed that whole kingdom through a simple girl.

  541. You are annointed to say I am annointed. Say I am anointed to change

  542. the world. Wherever you go. I am ambassador. I represent to God.

  543. The last example is God the Sun. She first a challenge God,

  544. say holda God for us, who patterner with me to bless people. She

  545. had a challenge of five thousand men did not come to women. If it

  546. was African children, African family, they would be the five thousand men,

  547. ten thousand women and maybe fifteen thousand children, but they only accounted men.

  548. And Jesus wanted to heal those who were hungry. She was looking for those

  549. who are willing to give, to partner with him, to give, to

  550. do the giving, to be part of what He's doing. The disciples went

  551. around asking anybody willing to sacrifice your lunch to invest into Jesus's ministry so he

  552. can feed the hungry. And all the men hid their lunch boxes, and

  553. all the women hide their chocolates, and all they used, hid all their

  554. cookies. And the only one, younger boy whose eyes could see what God

  555. was seeing, whose ears could hear the hurting and the cries of the hungry,

  556. who understood with the sound mind what God was doing. And he said,

  557. Andrew, I invest my lunch into Jesus's ministry. We talk about a

  558. giving, we talk about going, we talk about doing that boy partner with

  559. Jesus. And he fed five thousand men, ten thousand women, fifteen thousand

  560. children, and the words balance, thank you for partnering with World Outreach,

  561. Minister Foundation, when you had the cries of comment or community drinking water from

  562. the swamp, you invested like the boy invested his lunch. You invested your

  563. money and today you saw the children drinking itself and the clean water. Thanks

  564. she for investing. When you saw the mothers, you saw the mothers in

  565. Africa, Uganda and Africa. Every day mothers die when they're giving birth.

  566. Many of her children don't celebrate five years, but the celebration they die.

  567. But thank you for teaming up with Jesus to build a medical center in Motocola

  568. to save those mothers, to save the children in Africa. We call her

  569. Mama Joe. When she was daily dedicating that way. You saw the pictures.

  570. The political leader stood on the behalf of the community to thank her,

  571. to thank you. But these were her words. His words, including a

  572. Muslim representative, who are the associate of the political leader? They say it,

  573. Mamajo has told us about Jesus and we're welcome Jesus into our lives.

  574. But we ask you. Our children don't have school. Can you build at

  575. a school? They were asking Mamajo. And when they're asking Mamajo, who

  576. do they ask? They are asking the church. They are asking us to

  577. partner with Jesus to beil dam a school. I want to say thank you

  578. for teaming up with Mamajo and with warmth and with Jesus to build a Bucomola

  579. school that is the most beautiful school in that whole region with running water.

  580. So on, behalf of warmth On, behalf of the our families in Uganda.

  581. I'm here to say, May God, Richard, I bless you,

  582. thank you for teaming up with Jesus, Thank you for giving, thank you

  583. for going, Thank you for going. Jesus changing people through you can do

  584. better than that. Jesus changing people through Jesus, Love people through Jesus,

  586. you, I appreciate you. May God bless God. God bless you so

  587. much. Don't settle down. Jesus is coming soon. You must be part
