  54. these too too tools angles as well.

  55. Sweet and sorry.

  56. I didn't manage to prepare and his slice for today

  57. or meal, so you know, like yeah, so you know

  58. you know when we say that, hey, you know short

  59. pen is better than long. Now this is the time

  60. for you, I mean if you want to take notes,

  61. because sometimes you take picture just right, so now you

  62. can write down and how deus you not you need a.

  63. Be that she? Okay?

  64. So uh and and why and and one of the

  65. very very obvious first points.

  66. I have a few points here.

  67. The first one is from extra the one verse eight

  68. Nadia's down party and I'm gonna get you guys. Don't

  69. read and we'll start from the second row, or we

  70. can start from reading side and then you'll go to

  71. the second row and then third row.

  72. Okay, so X chapter one.

  73. Verse it you can read in any language you one.

  74. X chapter one versus it.

  75. Sing John paty than shan ling linga and Eve mention,

  76. sham mile lead in your side, yelu Salem you her

  77. summer Liah.

  78. But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has

  79. come upon you, and you shall be witnesses to me

  80. in Jerusalem and in all Judaea and Samaria and to

  81. the ends of the earth. Thank you for reading.

  82. Okay, some of you may read this verse and say like, oh,

  83. it has nothing to do with me because it talks

  84. about me being witnessed in Jerusalem, ju and Samaria.

  85. No one cannot read you that salon Samalia your tie,

  86. but I mean Malaysia. So it's not applicable because that nice. Yeah,

  87. so it's you. It is because uh, it is a resemblance. Okay,

  88. Jesus home and you're going to see the uh sy yo.

  89. So basically Jerusalem speaks about uh, the community that is

  90. closest to you where you're at currently and the closest

  91. you're location even you know sign and the type being

  92. the big searching you horney to.

  93. So that's equivalent to new life defund.

  94. Then Julia is equivalent to the state of the graves

  95. and Belan your tying justice to type smilan so and

  96. can be the borders neighboring Gras and Bland is actually

  97. not too big now your cur just semilan. So the

  98. food ting that teaching them some Aria is Malaysia. That's juice, man,

  99. I see and ends of the earth. You're not lah

  100. anywhere beyond Malaysia. The tity that's shamboat. So you know,

  101. the Bible says, you know, to be witnesses, and it

  102. starts you know the expression, you know, it starts at home.

  103. Now that out some way a whole, not juice from

  104. and it is a very very good preparation and training ground. Uh.

  105. You know, when we start witnessing within our community, a

  106. culture that we're familiar with and can also be a

  107. language you're familiar with as well.

  108. Now when under down my life she no leader down

  109. my life, she tell certainly man, she furnis young ways

  110. imag So if you look at this verse, you know

  111. the first point is also drawn out of it that

  112. you know, our personal testimony, Uh, in witnessing and spreading

  113. the gospel is really really powerful. Now, women, she turn

  114. that you furnish you the full in so you die

  115. your leader. Sorry. So it's a really really powerful too

  116. for us to share of our faith and especially to

  117. share the message of.

  118. Jesus surround my angda you furnished young woman the scene

  119. seeing how the okay, second point is from Matthew chapter five,

  120. verse sixteen.

  121. Dear girding and juices from my typho indeed don okay.

  122. Next person can read wait okay Matthew chapter five or sixteen,

  123. my type indeed don salutes.

  124. My type, win saluted gang yeah yoh teen tel taman

  125. khantin demand the housing way a gray iman shang.

  126. Of food Matthew chapter five or sixteen. Natural lights, So

  127. shine before men, that they all they may see your

  128. good words and glorify your father in heaven. So having

  129. a great testimony involves us shining so brightly so that

  130. others can see that bright light. Now man title the

  131. yeas type a man part shin guang tell yo, sir,

  132. random mention.

  133. So that what that the world may see the good

  134. works that is in earth, and you know that they

  135. may glorify the father.

  136. Who is in heaven. How shying or Candadian woman housing being.

  137. You know a lot of times in the Bible, the

  138. Bible actually does encourage all of us believer us to

  139. live a way.

  140. That reflects our faith. That thing the many the shortdown

  141. man your life she h eager fish and how the

  142. found how ya don't live or to live our life

  143. that visibly demonstrates our faith eager and then do that

  144. mean okay?

  145. Next point is from Second Corinthians, chapter five, verse seventeen.

  146. She said that the girl indoor hole shot.

  147. Okay, the next person can really.

  148. Go the whole shoe royal anxiety.

  149. You should sing the juicually equal, don't the look? Therefore,

  150. if anyone is in Christ, he's a new creation. All

  151. things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new. Amen.

  152. So our testimony definitely mainly revolves around our transformed life

  153. in Christ. Now when I take a time to unbin

  154. and that's a very very important expect of a great testimony.

  155. S interestion of the dark guy being at the transformation

  156. of life may take a guy.

  157. If I'm gonna break it.

  158. Down further and simpler, it would mean that you know,

  159. when our family see a fancy Larian Kandian woman, or

  160. our friends that have known us for some time, when

  161. they see us the shman have a canda and when

  162. they see like, yeah, no last time, when before you

  163. become a Christian, that that yany and now the Christian

  164. very different.

  165. Range years this whole theme. You're young, and sometimes people

  166. can say that that has two meanings to it. So

  167. now one is to make fun of you, to joke

  168. you because you have become worse. It gets even needing

  169. one to really say like, wow, I really admire you

  170. because you have changed for the better. Seen in waiting

  171. your juice put younger.

  172. So that's the power, you know, when we allow Jesus

  173. to count our lives and work our lives to turn

  174. it around from back to.

  175. Good down years to me like she got being nod

  176. like you can't mention that.

  177. And the the amazing thing about when we allow Christ

  178. or when we allow Jesus to transform us, the transformation

  179. is I would say, no permanent as well. Now down

  180. woman that she interest that she got hold a guy,

  181. and sometimes it's also a miraculous transformation that she definded

  182. because a lot of people who are not not Christians

  183. as well, they can change, right, they can change.

  184. To be better. Even your hand your gun the guy.

  185. But sometimes it may not stay for long because they're

  186. doing out their own mind and your own.

  187. Strength conserpyn hand to the guy being in wish in

  188. timon that they can lead.

  189. So remember you know when me say that, hey, you

  190. know as church, you know you always hear like like,

  191. what's your testimony in your faith in christy down.

  192. Me young, that's the good? Are you being a good

  193. testimony your how? I believe very much.

  194. It starts with our personal encounter with Christ that leads

  195. to a transformation.

  196. Or sensing a Roman city eat a whole.

  197. Uh.

  198. So as Christians as well, you know, as we go

  199. on a lot daily, we can still be better and

  200. be made perfect.

  201. Uh, and to be more like the image of Christ.

  202. Massimotiation to the end, like she run bun in a

  203. house so you.

  204. Can ask us, you know, even though we are leaders

  205. uh past us or even not like okay that's a

  206. title only, but we are always a work in progress

  207. again actual woman trying that monomally human Now woman, she

  208. ran to see your neggar, say your neggar to then,

  209. because woman high seager die. We are always made uh,

  210. we are always perfected in the lot daily being the.

  211. Ration that she bound to women. But with a condition

  212. still we are in Christ.

  213. Say gender surround woman, yo, nat woman be she yell

  214. attention because that is what second coritiance first they say.

  215. Sorry. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a

  216. new creation. Even a tackling door ho shoety downs t

  217. just to show down my woman roadside de do woman

  218. used to seeing down.

  219. The so a bite in Christ, you know, draw from

  220. him daily when you're seen, you're mate. He then so okay.

  221. Next part is from James chapter one, verse two to four.

  222. Yeah, girls shoe djown the earth.

  223. Okay, the lady in yellow dress can read it, James

  224. chatter one verse its the end for the New Testament.

  225. With the shal man lord side by.

  226. Ya.

  227. That's you wait that see you wage down the same thing,

  228. jun down rene chanshin one day how change ch mhm

  229. sorry James one uh too far? My Vedian counting all

  230. joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the

  231. testing of your faith produces patients. But let patients have

  232. its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete,

  233. lacking nothing.

  234. So you know as believers right, I do know that

  235. we will go through trials and tribulations of all kinds.

  236. So in national ways, concentration that's the whole, and the

  237. word of God says it is okay that we go

  238. through that.

  239. Make one see that. But the count is all joy

  240. your life She tied by the eat.

  241. Yeah.

  242. See look very contradicting right. You know when we go

  243. to Trous, it's very, very tough. Your whole emotions, your

  244. whole being is affected and involved. Her mouth don't even

  245. like ourn those face on the single. But then the

  246. word says rejoice.

  247. He said, you get to go to Trous, gentleman e

  248. way day. Look if you know you know how difficult

  249. it is. Uh, you know the sleepless nights I have?

  250. How can you tell me to be joyful about it? Work?

  251. I don't need to numberized you will see. But why

  252. because the testing of our faith producers.

  253. Step, fastness, conservation, tiggerigg don't think when I see.

  254. Red Knight.

  255. So when we are able, you know, we definitely go

  256. to trials and the lot helps us go through it

  257. and to overcome it. So turn down to Norman eating

  258. on the silly and higher Now woman dem leaders who

  259. woman like exams coming out. I don't know ive enough

  260. time to study it. That's the biggest child and tribulation

  261. named dark household.

  262. And I don't know how to answer the question. I

  263. left it blank. Were answer.

  264. When your results can come out, you know you get

  265. your tree point for that subject that you know you

  266. overcome the hardship. And then what the testimony becomes more real, right,

  267. more relatable, that you didn't take a sillion and their

  268. holda I need the scene singe turned down that need to.

  269. So then when artists go through the same they can't remember.

  270. So they might be also going through now down to

  271. and when they have you know, when they see you,

  272. you know, pressing on, being stacked fast about it, going

  273. through instead of giving up. That compels them, That encourages

  274. them to also hang on to the lot, say that

  275. you can't like you you didn't your leadershhold time. Basically

  276. like so you know, when we go to trials, don't

  277. don't give up so fast, say down quite a fancy,

  278. don't go for option B and option C quite being

  279. the fun. And because the only option that we have

  280. is is in the lot. Women ware either to the fund.

  281. I have a fund fund.

  282. So when we go to.

  283. Trials, actually that's we have to tell ourself gate there

  284. is no backup plan and the only plan is the

  285. lot will deliver me?

  286. Say down this yehana be like she ban woman a

  287. band fundit. You know, I remember josh Joshua is not here,

  288. but I remember him sharing, you know, because some of

  289. you may know you know he has been trying to apply,

  290. both him and stuff try applied so that both of

  291. them can work together here in Klang Valley.

  292. Now Josh high Adity, Stephan Hamman just a turn finally

  293. senting each she going to and and in all different ones.

  294. Came came to them and asked like, hey, you can,

  295. you know, pull this string in the government, pull that

  296. string government. You know this string, I have it shorter.

  297. You know you can get your your your transfer faster.

  298. Now your hand already you're gunned out, Josh and wore

  299. your diggeruany k like she's younger, Nik like she's young

  300. the digger and but both Josh and step saying no,

  301. because we'll apply to the proper way and we will

  302. wait for the lord opening and.

  303. Provision concerner Josh Her, Stephan Hamman, Johann things so many

  304. turns turns to the funfire that she's sent. So when

  305. I hear that, right, I'm really really encouraged.

  306. The space because I think if you start pulling straight,

  307. it is possible for you to get what you.

  308. Want in it's down and down and lie.

  309. She yields her example one like she third thousand said,

  310. bangs to the zone a circus.

  311. But where's the testimony in that causen.

  312. That leads me to my next point from First Timothy

  313. chapter four, us chef.

  314. Just that well more ti chin shot this is down

  315. thirty next person can read it. Mm hmm. First Timochy

  316. chapter four, us.

  317. Tugh First Timothy chapter four, verse twelve. That you may

  318. walk properly towards those who are outside, and that you

  319. may lack nothing.

  320. First Timothy chapter four versch.

  321. Okay, let know, okay, let no one despise your youth,

  322. but be an example to the believers in word and conduct,

  323. and love and spirit and faith and purity.

  324. Book a children sho caniniante and you seeing way I

  325. seen sing seeing.

  326. A scene to the So you know, remember Joshua's testimony.

  327. It has a link about overcoming hashi. I mean they

  328. are still in the process.

  329. It's not easy for her husband and wife to have

  330. long distance relationship as a way of futine hamans used

  331. in Julie that take a linam hi. And also because

  332. they got married not so long ago. Also haw many.

  333. So uh and and this this point from Firstimity for twelve, right,

  334. it's you know, linking member in Josh's testimony.

  335. Uh is.

  336. Great.

  337. Having a great testimony is also about being consistent in

  338. our faith and in our integrity as a believer. Hi,

  339. Juice or Johnson some ship that used woman's uh take

  340. a ransom?

  341. Woman in your bouts, Juice, I am m hm. So

  342. doing today, do something tomorrow? Do something?

  343. Being consistent uh in in living out the word of God.

  344. It is very crucial to maintain a strong testimony.

  345. Woman may eating sheep who don't like she and you

  346. like true a sentiment? You too an that.

  347. Because as a believer, once we lose our testimony, it

  348. takes a long time for people to really see it,

  349. you know, for us to get it back. Basically, when

  350. that woman tinderness, Oh yeah, like she don't seeing the diet?

  351. How going though?

  352. So being consistent in our speech, in our conduct, in

  353. our love and our faith, and in our purity s

  354. justice that when they're seeing way in you ive seen

  355. sing sing teen So you know that's another expression It says, uh,

  356. walking your talk, Juice.

  357. Uh, just then young Nicolis or seeing don't sound your

  358. So whatever we preach or whatever we know of the

  359. world of God, to walk it up, to leave it up, say, woman,

  360. who are you young woman turned out tyrant. A woman's

  361. so down the mania like she is seeing. Don't urn

  362. me okay.

  363. Next Brian is from Hebros. Chapter ten, verse twenty four

  364. to twenty five.

  365. Saga justices. Sybil lives, this is all right, okay, he

  366. has crossed the already Hebrews Chapter ten, verse twenty four

  367. twenty five. Sibil lives this donout. It's in a New

  368. Testament as well.

  369. Yo Yo beats young divaicing me and Lee Si son

  370. Niman book her team to how young things one another?

  371. Dao Yao beats the trimming.

  372. Joe, and let us consider one another in order to

  373. stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling

  374. of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but

  375. exhorting one another. And so much the more as you

  376. see the day.

  377. Approaching, Hey man, all right, so much more as you

  378. see the day is approaching?

  379. What day.

  380. His birthday?

  381. No? The day?

  382. The day? Do they when Christ returns? These they?

  383. When you know anti Christ comes? Do they when our

  384. faith is challenged? Do they that we are challenged to

  385. renounce Christ?

  386. Yes? Saying didn't you gun down? Rude to this holda.

  387. Sooner into down years to like the so just down

  388. when the hands and the team and the they, it's

  389. not too far away, Nancy, when I don't know, but

  390. there are signs that is showing that the they is

  391. coming in our generation, if not the closest the next.

  392. Because suner just hunting to okay continue should uh years

  393. you tell human and and and the family you know

  394. what is it's gonna come myself not the we might

  395. be slightly at the beginning of it already. Women can

  396. just see the ENTI I mean we hear you know,

  397. Bible printing factories bring burned down in China or when

  398. it's down the day Quanhamman insund to pay funnish sound.

  399. And it's slightly harder to buy good English Bibles now

  400. in Malaysia.

  401. So and since then managed Nan, she might doubt how

  402. the thing?

  403. Uh?

  404. And and did you know that bibles that he has

  405. been printed recently, right, both English and Mandrian has missing

  406. versus Now that you're easier that this is centing you

  407. learn in you the one year you're easier, the thing waiting.

  408. You might want to check your bibles you know that

  409. are missing versus maybe uh, even the I think the

  410. most apparent and IV version they're missing versus.

  411. Already now since I mean just England and I that's

  412. a band burner sing that you're sating waiting naturally.

  413. And our man dream team a few of them are

  414. actually working to find out what are the missing versus

  415. in the Mandriam Bible.

  416. Now, now a woman don't don't don't want doing a

  417. tamanou no need, but she shins down, yes basing. So

  418. with that in mind, I hope it gives us a

  419. bit of a perspective that the day is drawing near

  420. and can our faith we stand that? Okay? Round that

  421. Jan and Kantian the sing sing that the singing okay

  422. like you how the beating and how can our faith

  423. we stand that?

  424. No one definitely you know I've really talked about our

  425. relationship with Christ so the same.

  426. That take a guancy.

  427. But the second is you know that we have to

  428. consider to stir up each other in love and uh

  429. to love and for good works.

  430. YAYI sing san hi yo how your meanly like she bangu.

  431. Beats it and not neglecting meeting each other teat Because

  432. a lot of times people say, like, oh, Christianity is

  433. a personal relationship we got right, and so you have

  434. to make our own personal decisions. No one can you know,

  435. decide for us. No one can force us.

  436. Woman yeah uating mak woman, but ha personally enough to

  437. I stay in the room and be Christian. Yeah, just

  438. needs just a girl guand you.

  439. But then how uh just based on observation of people,

  440. you won't be able to last long in your faith

  441. when you're all alone on your own.

  442. Us that eating etnu urban needs igoran just a.

  443. Hernan tang jo the like around in the scenes sing

  444. turns out, why do you encourage you know you to

  445. come to church on a Sunday?

  446. Money? Since she realized that your way you.

  447. Know, Japanese friends, why do your lectures you know, encourage

  448. you to come to join us for church on Sunday.

  449. When the ribben thete money man allowed so yea even

  450. like that? Why did we encourage you to go home?

  451. A go for prayer service?

  452. Cheat?

  453. You wait? Go for combined services? You wait? You know,

  454. start small groups and wear your turn certain defunk because

  455. why we want to do that so that we do

  456. not neglect meeting each other waste saw owen. We are

  457. like she teams.

  458. Because when we meet each other we are able to

  459. encourage each other our testimony.

  460. Even down, lie she eating? That's okay?

  461. When the teamternalized whose young got The word for encourage

  462. is to uplift saying link eager that she seen she

  463. put on.

  464. The as believers.

  465. And when we meet together on a Sunday and when

  466. we walk like, okay, Sunday down after lunch down, do

  467. we go back feeling uplifted or do we go back

  468. feeling over.

  469. The say now lie she hate? That's the whole now

  470. title Tana, is it just a seely boman not thinking physically?

  471. We can be physical, you can be tired like a

  472. deflated dire woman is certenty found men so late, But

  473. spirit man should be uplifted because a woman that's an

  474. ye should base.

  475. Because as we come together, we hear stories, we hear

  476. testimonies of what God is doing, We observe each other.

  477. We get encouraged to that as well. Even now that

  478. this is a whole Norman way and the power of

  479. a great testimony.

  480. Also, besides for believers in church is for everyone else

  481. that is not in church.

  482. To pre believers, now take a woman that it should

  483. impact them in the way that they see you.

  484. They are hungry. I'm like, why why this Christian is

  485. so different? I want to start exploring on starting, you know,

  486. finding out more what they believe in.

  487. But when you're around Harmon and your Harmond like she

  488. a woman the evation you know through our life itself,

  489. is it enough to give people the you know? Okay?

  490. Are we enough to be like the epetizer even to them?

  491. The appetizer around Hammond de fa Hammond three years to

  492. the Tiger House. She seen the you know, I like

  493. the word appetizer is actually right? Is Thislera is epithizer?

  494. Just your defarrn Steve had Hammon like, uh, range the

  495. years to the digger chain.

  496. Tie direct yeah and direct translation is open your epitite?

  497. Man?

  498. Are you don't want to chain tie? That uses around me?

  499. High waited? Defy wait color.

  500. So when when someone meets ye, immediately the appetite for

  501. faith is open.

  502. Now they're hungry.

  503. I'm like.

  504. Minnesota Harmitation and take away corner. Wow, Ye, it's so joyful.

  505. She is so hopeful. I want Yeah, So you know

  506. that is what having a great destiny can do. That

  507. isn't a funny, just both for fellow believers and also

  508. people out there just a gay that to the high

  509. nicey ration and uh this.

  510. Will be the last point so that at the end

  511. of they ultimately so that God can be glorified how

  512. well the.

  513. Tiger? How around how the wrong? Yeah? Why can God?

  514. I mean, what's the point of you know, God being

  515. glorified in this region? Godst people can see that He

  516. has transformd us and all credits goes through.

  517. Him, not even a dune like she got being your niggar,

  518. nigger like graduation. And when credit goes to him, people

  519. want to follow him.

  520. Woman Niggard Harman, cake hanting Sien loud Juana Talman canation.

  521. You know people will start following men. Then that's why

  522. you know you start the d new church, it said

  523. Jesus Christ.

  524. Church of the Lord God Hammond that she can say,

  525. you're hating. Yeah, So our role is to help facilitate

  526. that faith exploration of other people. Them to be hungry

  527. and one more Roman.

  528. Sit to the tiger renditioner like around Harmon, but the

  529. inally rang Hammond. That's what a great testimony does not

  530. face funk the tint and dilight. So the importance of

  531. us sweetnessing is still important. Sharing our testament is still important,

  532. but leaving it out is equally as important.

  533. As no woman like she fancyunction woman like she but

  534. t and tirant uman to maker how the tin turns

  535. on yo.

  536. So I'm gonna close with this story of what God

  537. has done at least the past week.

  538. Now way that she take a sung st fastness, sing.

  539. That she even.

  540. And you know, like I said again, know like you know,

  541. different ones of you have been keeping in prayer and

  542. support in different things, even for the family. Now something

  543. you put on the rental like wait what the tarr

  544. and like she down and some of you may know

  545. the journey of our family taking care of my ill uncle.

  546. Now you water jarrant that.

  547. Joke.

  548. So I can't remember what I've showed you're regarding him.

  549. But uh so so uh and and so we took

  550. it in uh and took care of him.

  551. Now that.

  552. To send being now woman like she.

  553. So he is my mom's cousin. So my mom's mom

  554. and his mom are sisters, said well, I e the

  555. and one the reason why we took in. Okay, the

  556. main reason why we took him is definitely Godlet now

  557. more you're like she has so, but also he is

  558. also alone on his own. Now that has and that

  559. has children my grandma that generation which is my mom's

  560. uncle Auntie's or the eleven siblings.

  561. Now were the wife Harman, your eager big family. I

  562. think those days that's their hobby, you know, having kids

  563. translate okay, uh and you know these days we have just.

  564. A lot of things to do, right, So eleven, So

  565. imagine my mom's generation. How many cousins she would have? Yeah,

  566. well the Mama Haim and your daughter.

  567. Ye. So in November last year, December last year, a

  568. lot of things found out that he has four stage cancer.

  569. Now well that is the whole Norman. Then the eye.

  570. So a lot news. He has no immediate family. Mom

  571. also passed away three years before him.

  572. Uh.

  573. And then he doesn't have any siblings or family like

  574. wife or just down the town ma Jicae.

  575. She's so everybody knew, but nobody offered to help help him.

  576. Don't that has to eager and the yeah mao like

  577. she used some of the young.

  578. It's very different.

  579. I mean if you catch COVID, okay, sometimes you catch

  580. like oh I need I want to help me. It's

  581. just you just feel like loose word dying because it's

  582. very uncomfortable, right, or you catch influenza, it's the same

  583. feeling as well, Nan, you're just cheat and COVID her

  584. influenza and the whole now.

  585. Bango.

  586. But as we go to a different viral infection, in

  587. a way, we can still be independently taking ourselves, taking

  588. care of ourselves, because sooner that I'm actually being a

  589. solon high.

  590. But it's very different for a four stitch cancer pation.

  591. The city item and like around then go.

  592. And so we had to take care of him also

  593. because with six second opinion here and you know, he

  594. was very comfortable with the hospital here and and the

  595. doctors are all now even Norman like she around, how

  596. your dear girl just to eat and like, uh, justice

  597. can't just that.

  598. He's considered in a way a black ship in the family.

  599. Not many of his cousins or i mean relatives do

  600. actually entirely trust him because his record.

  601. She's a tad that has odin in wain taed even

  602. had the baiting hand lead and the next.

  603. One also he's because uh, like on black and White

  604. bankrupt myself had just to eating bay turn food just

  605. a short time eating, so what comes with that is

  606. as a person who is going to be his uh categer,

  607. Guardian Bawaris whatever not. Your name's on the baby Warner

  608. eating Bailey that had a bigger and in the event

  609. after he passed at least five to six years if

  610. he's any that anyone has the right to come to

  611. the the girl to us for money, she.

  612. Said the whole lunar and so yeah, like she s

  613. took us to and no one wanted to get stuck

  614. with that. And you're like, she uh bey defunct.

  615. So our family did really consider that? Now may your

  616. your and and and so. So that's that and and

  617. the complication of family. It's so my mom's cousins or

  618. uh not not to break. But only my mom and

  619. her siblings, her sisters have functional I know, I don't.

  620. I'm not using this for the comparison, but has healthy marriage,

  621. healthy family, healthy children.

  622. Time was suliez or Mama the zeal Or or white

  623. for the the garrn Harmon Heighteman you eg b didn't

  624. hung the Foti guancy. So my grandma's ten other siblings

  625. they either have children. It's like divorce, adultry, drug dealing,

  626. money laundry, gangsterism and whatever you can least out somehow

  627. you can find it somewhere. Yeah, So it just.

  628. Isn't the tide or the white or the yep Sambo Hammon,

  629. she had a gyrant in me and that Hammond the Heightsman,

  630. those that this, uh how does this sing that hides?

  631. So it's a generally short curse that needs to be broken. Definitely,

  632. just the kind of here to just say that, say,

  633. Heidsman Harman your.

  634. One day.

  635. I am glad that my parents and my mom's younger

  636. sister became believers because my parents almost divorced, my younger

  637. auntie almost divorced.

  638. Concation or the Mama higher or the Harman like those

  639. sing to the invain that Haman's hardy like. But when

  640. they gave their life to Christ, transformation happened.

  641. Because down Hammond, but dealcation this horna s Sammon's meaning

  642. and social guy been so because of that testimony.

  643. Uh.

  644. One of the relatives told his uncle, although they are

  645. not really good friends, like, but you know what they did,

  646. I don't know, like they just talked about her, so.

  647. Uh they she told him that you know, you should

  648. go stay with Evan and Mary that's my parents' name,

  649. because they are very good Christians.

  650. And if you want to follow that God, you can't.

  651. Don't worry about the ancestors. You just go ahead and follow.

  652. Nowteen and how do you gun hir she gone? Or

  653. the food like she uh harmon guanza beyond dancing money

  654. wait thiman.

  655. So that itself carries a lot of weight because she

  656. disliked Christians at all, because she had a really bad encounter,

  657. like she skipping it for like forty plasties and she's

  658. not overy, so she's very bad in counting Christians, and

  659. she didn't like Christians at all.

  660. Tatti Sner and a teen Tina t a teen Tina had.

  661. Had the teen late Tidi just to hold hunt hand

  662. me one.

  663. And so for her to say that about my parents,

  664. it carries a lot a lot of it.

  665. Say you go around, take a teen tin and go

  666. down the lie she uh uh sought out juanna, not

  667. just type you. So now mid mid of the testimony,

  668. so we took him in and uh, you know, I'll

  669. do this a Christian as well. It's still to share

  670. the gospel instead not just living it out. And my

  671. mom has been sharing with my uncle.

  672. Uh the gospel.

  673. Women serve two women so yo, the tuh rent juice

  674. like shears and the food english.

  675. And y'all know that.

  676. You know, after he said no a lot of times

  677. I realized what he said no because uh, yeah, I

  678. I realized because he has been worshiping a lot of

  679. weird things in his house. Now whole life fascination mo

  680. like she guns shop her daughter, she died, she buy

  681. her you got don't see. But because he encountered God

  682. and he has seen our lives, that's why he has

  683. said yes. Because like she deely do and you can't

  684. de oman does the same way not you've seen that.

  685. So last week end of last week, his condition deteriorated

  686. a lot, a lot a lot.

  687. Now she sang table the scene the da that's the

  688. whole tired being.

  689. Yeah, and you know sharing this with you because I

  690. mean you have been keeping prayer and I see yours

  691. family is also what we go to because it's a learning.

  692. Point as a right for different things. The wan down

  693. garrony why way water she down? Now make it easy.

  694. So condition deteriorated.

  695. Uh and then uh three days before he passed, then

  696. it's sant tying. And three days before he passed before

  697. it got through his like the climax of his converse,

  698. the duration of his condition. That sun that had three

  699. the chin kwan, the shin san tin so he he

  700. actually saw a dream.

  701. You had the dream?

  702. How the monk he said that there were four cups

  703. and it's those cups that they pray like they put

  704. the liquid adult alcohol whatever team not to pray to

  705. the idols on the other table, and saw four cups.

  706. How do you can of dynamoony mean, how you kind

  707. of siga bae siga babe us harmon put on don't

  708. like she sing by He said that he saw one

  709. hand uh and and he said it's Jesus handler. I

  710. don't know why he always is, but I know he

  711. because he said he didn't he faced, but he knew

  712. it was Jesus hend Today the hand came and took

  713. took away the cup.

  714. How did you come down? The eager should was just

  715. years to just show years, but she don't.

  716. So then uh so that three days he went to

  717. a lot, a lot of oppression, spiritual oppression.

  740. angel sounds. I mean it was a great experience. Got

  741. to converse with the paramedics, learn so much technical stuff

  742. from him. But yeah, I think that translated that. Yeah,

  744. ambulance as well, and then suddenly his pressure dropped like

  745. sixty forty and tell tell you old goo, tell you

  783. to meet i PG students, you know they have already

  784. arranged for tough people to meet us.

  786. the growth of I GW.

  787. Mad Umpire and Holman it who mean Nazi woman like

  788. she turned.

  789. Because I believe very much that even as D Day

  790. the last day comes right, one of the areas that

  791. will make a lot of impact and difference is also

  792. in the area of education.

  793. Even town woman. That's the whole.

  794. Die mean the guy we started with one revival of

  795. the I p G and now for I p G

  796. is one the same thing as well.

  797. Now man your eager I G men your food for

  798. seeing that? Ye kind of? So I told got nothing

  799. but touched that don't see like you do to take

  800. a fashion. And my parents were not happy at all

  801. that was going to go home on Thursday.

  802. She's wonderful, see whe just book out seeing that downward

  803. like cheap being turned. They were really anxious how much

  804. because that's actually a lot of things to involve door,

  805. because we're going to bring the body back to even

  806. your your truly that's sitting face twn door. So I

  807. ran and then met the students. It was a very

  808. fruitful time and it was our opening because we realized

  809. that they need a lot of discipleship.

  810. Now take ib g beantern this whold now your fashion

  811. and have adult face juice to bay mental patient. The

  812. top students we meet, they're all committee members of the

  813. c How much is a twenty? That's the way.

  814. And but then they have like cause she's like, you guys,

  815. pray every timewana because I have way.

  816. Well do you pray niemen made down? How do you

  817. listen to the voice of nimming You mean you fast

  818. on honey.

  819. Garden, How do you bring tongues? How does it sound

  820. like some fun? Can you demonstrate now for me how

  821. you braying tongues? It's very good, very good, because now

  822. I know why God wants us to be there or

  823. the Jennifish and boundary.

  824. So on Friday morning at ten fifteen, got a car

  825. from hospital. My uncle passed. Now that seeing she oh

  826. that sounds it didn't show for that, uh even that

  827. like sow the So on Saturday was the wake service.

  828. Sunday was the funeral and seeing she lied, not think

  829. she really douced that something. And I'm going close with

  830. already know extreme can come up. Yeah, So it was

  831. the funeral and and so I share and all this

  832. is my grandma's story. So my grandma just passed away

  833. about two years ago.

  834. Now, the one used to eat eating and bans and

  835. she's so she's a believer. So it was a Christian

  836. in our service all the way, not even to man

  837. me and used to eat you to the func city.

  838. But this start round is very very different for us,

  839. not just face time. Why do I say that we

  840. had the relatives right that most of them are not believers.

  841. Actually even this isn't a lie that this yearn.

  842. Too.

  843. But when the service started, suddenly they just joined the

  844. service because then like uh the black hashes eat.

  845. They have not done that for my grandma's uh wake service.

  846. She usually sometimes they'll expect the elders right then they

  847. were just but they didn't, you know, But they did

  848. that for my uncle her no Sea Talmant.

  849. The boy like she that's like she tans your world

  850. white for because.

  859. I keep being like, okay, what's going on, what's going on?

  860. I'm supposed to I'm supposed to be agreeing in the morning,

  861. But I was more excited because I mean, I'm already

  862. rejoining because my uncle is already in heaven right them

  863. and Jelliphaning, so like, okay, what they're doing now and

  864. ho full engagement all the way for forty five minutes

  865. and singing T nigger, who are you?

  866. Some time I've seen church. We don't see that as

  867. all number ten. But that happened because fashioned.

  868. And I believe very much. So it's because of all

  869. the swings that my parents have done. The word something harmon,

  870. eat eat. If they have not encountered God and become

  871. believers today, we wouldn't have the story mum. And they
