  53. does bring you know, as we continue to live as the child of God

  54. in the area of generosity, the imagination and heightsmen that can't it will bring

  55. an impact and change in the rounding and community that God has placed us in

  84. Verse one to seven. And Bazilo and her Liup and every gifted artisan in

  85. whom the Lord has put wisdom and understanding to know how to do all manner

  86. of work for the service of the sanctuary, shall do according to all that

  87. the Lord has commanded. Then Moses called Bezalel and Eheliab and every gifted artisan

  88. in whose heart the Lord has put wisdom, everyone whose heart was stirred to

  89. come and do the work. And they received from Moses all the offering which

  90. the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of making the

  91. sanctuary. So they continued bringing to him feval offerings every morning. Then all

  92. the craftsmen who were doing all the work of the century king each from the

  93. work he was doing, and they spoke to Moses, saying that people bring

  94. much more than enough for the service of the work which the Lord commanded us

  95. to do. So Moses gave a commandment, and they caused it to be

  96. proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, let neither men nor women women do any

  97. more work for the offering of the sanctuary. And the people were restrained from

  98. bringing, for the material they had was sufficient for all the work to be

  99. done. Indeed too much. Amen, thank you for reading all of us,

  100. you know, caught even from the seven versuses, from the cheek things

  101. when men like so, I need to kind of re emphasize that even as

  102. I say that, you know, this is a tool, one of the

  103. tools that our students here can use posts a c c now show like rangciation

  104. is that she wanted hy although it is that, but it applies to all

  105. of us here, especially when we are believing, say runation curse. She

  106. saw your fancying, yes woman. So from this scripture that was read right,

  107. was written? Okay, right? That you know, the first point

  108. that we canctually draw from it is generous. People often give more than they

  109. are asked to give. Nati got the thing, not just a canker,

  110. And don't wait like she uh gates, how good Hammond juices short showed Hammond

  111. and this year function and this is I believe you know one americles that you

  112. know hopefully in the days to come we are able to witness a well here

  113. see the human like she said and hand out to c CD got so far

  114. I have not heard anyone or even Barcearond. You're coming to a point to

  115. tell, okay, everybody, stop giving more than enough your next day life

  116. or mayor the tonge life. Goanna just so yourn her eagerly show us a

  117. stround and turn out something like function. You know you were really here right

  118. in verse five says the people brought so much more than enough for the service

  119. of the work of the Lord. Uh in short out more ceo shown up

  120. by gone short now like the phone for yo you that's what generous people are,

  121. can kairi and is young. They give beyond what is required and asked

  122. of them. Just it you're just am and that she gave. That's how

  123. hot and not just to the work of the Lord, but unto each other

  124. as well. They just gave you a kan kaii beats it is still quite

  125. in a way quite easy to just you know, give okay offering by uh

  126. you know, building pleasure or or not. It's easy to do that.

  127. I sure woman's actually qualified. It's sometimes slightly easier to do that. But

  128. to be able to give beyond what your neighbor is asking from you, it's

  129. definitely way more difficult because the instrument upon your Yeah. Yeah, just so

  130. there's a whole How about giving to someone who has fully betrayed you? M

  131. just it? You girl, your baby pant gone? There someone who stole

  132. your girlfriend from your love? Can you? Yeah? So a lot of

  133. times, you know, sometimes you know, there's still a lot of neat

  134. around us in church outside of church is because Christians this, you know,

  135. are still holding back made your face and daughter, she just in wain.

  136. Uh just don't HAMI or one one changing the function? And I believe very

  137. much, you know what the reasons why probably probably Okay, is this my

  138. own personal opinion. The lot has not returned yet. What girl, there's

  139. a year to ham that is the way, like because the church has not

  140. gone until the ends of the earth to share who he is? She do

  141. cy Girdie, like you furnished your years? This just say, can I

  142. be a little bit more? Uh, real life example, I remember the

  143. autance. This yeah, this year. Probably why our homes is not going

  144. that much when the homes may die touched a little bit more at home.

  145. Why has not been going that much? Why it's not it's not seeing a

  146. lot of difference or or you know, it's not becoming better. That's the

  147. while your officers or your college or universities, it's not changing much. They're

  148. going to a town show. Hi, it's probably because Christians are still holding

  149. back nation in wayn woman hio about you what the Lord has been challenging them

  150. to do and give juitization like she got the woman that she can't do.

  151. Noh, okay, I'm gonna move on to the second point. Generous people

  152. give in response to a great cause. Can ki wait like she intake and

  153. like she functions? If you see an around you respond to it. Ruin

  154. it came down. Shouldn't be like she according to the ability that you have

  155. and she continued, So young Yoda's take. It doesn't have to always be

  156. in monetary ms painters. But what the Lord is asking us to do to

  157. be the first responder to the situation that is iggerant if someone needs food,

  158. feed the person she like she is function if the person needs clothing, clothes

  159. that person like she is. And you know, I'm gonna just give us

  160. the scripture so we don't have to read from it. But you know this

  161. is actually drawn up from Second Corinthians eight one to five and Second Corinthians nine

  162. one to fifteen demuncation girling dot eat out around higher girling door hold sho dijo

  163. jun d eat out yep. And then so that that is the second point,

  164. third point the dinner. Sorry, I just run the back track.

  165. So we see from this two portions of scripture the Corinthian Church they were faithfully

  166. giving to help the community of people whomever. Uh. You know, they

  167. meet the girling daughter Hamando and sister that she can't ki, that she young.

  168. The third point it's from Luke chapter twenty one, verse one to four.

  169. Down eat out and the next person read will be Elisha the relisha look

  170. chapter twenty one, verse one to four. Pu title got food you you

  171. gennigger chunko to So was sunim chto total dne the god. And he looked

  172. up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury, and he saw

  173. also a certain poor widow putting it too mics. So he said, truly,

  174. I say to you that this poor widow has put in more than all

  175. for all these out of their abundance, have put in offering for God,

  176. for putting offerings for God. But she, out of her poverty, put

  177. in all her livelihood that she had. So we can reach here from this

  178. four versus itself. That's this thing when you mean kanjin. God's viewpoint of

  179. generosity is not in its volume undertake a cank candy gate that took a shund,

  180. but in the demonstration of the gift that was given. Okay, that's

  181. a scene each. So the third point of you know how what being generous?

  182. A radical generous, radically generous person who like band that take a cankider

  183. renner is the person who will gives out their own substance, whether large or

  184. small. Juwa the a f neilne. She gave you this sound and that

  185. itself. You know, when that is done, it becomes a special gift

  186. in the lives of the Lord, down to function funciation. That's the function.

  187. Okay, next point, uh, it is actually the next point.

  188. The fourth point is generous people give more than just the money. This Dana

  189. cank kidern come and sound function, you know. And I've also touched a

  190. little bit on that. And this is actually drawn up from Luke chapter ten,

  191. verse twenty five to thirty seventh. This a shoe without sis TD.

  192. And you know what can you be generous in besides your money, which is

  193. your So money sometimes symbolizes your treasure, she assuman about gentlemen about but in

  194. treasure as well, it can be something which is prescious to you, right

  195. because I think about John about was a Roman seeing ice, seeing terms in

  196. the area of like items like physically you can touch on juices gentlemen and don't

  197. see so that is a treasure. You know, God could be challenging you.

  198. Hey, you know, why not give up your bicycle so that someone

  199. can cycle to church? Because then you're the wholenessentmentman the take jil hatten and

  200. that your wait, hey, you have a car when you come to Sunday,

  201. why not pick another four person up to church? Now you and ocate

  202. sadat show Ciga sation and like your way. Treasure time sitting in these days

  203. and age time is a very precious commodity. Sting face face yod, how

  204. you and me wake up on at seven or seven thirty am on a Sunday.

  205. So I need to serve and yeah, like you see them, how

  206. long willn't go? Like she by eight fifteen, I have to be in

  207. church so that I can prepare and get ready to serve. But the way

  208. in the way on Thursday night, Wow, you have homes oh you know?

  209. Yeah, on Friday you have a lot of small groups on campus.

  210. I have to be there. You don't see how she said, don't see

  211. yo, I have to spend time, you know, just you know,

  212. listening or counseling a person who is in it. Yeah that she can see

  213. she and like she but eleven fifty night tonight after something my assignment time.

  214. And it's really scarce this day, face and face. But the Lord wants

  215. us to give him in this as well, because sooner, young woman that

  216. she is, she didn't function and in the area of our talent, tentleman,

  217. the take taianimen. So I'm not too sure. You know, what

  218. are the different talents of gift things that you have in your life, Maria

  219. or Learney. Those who love cooking and can cook, you know, start

  220. cooking for the whole kay, She put on the you know those who have

  221. you know, Uh, I don't know what other talents those who can dance,

  222. you know, danceing a lot so that other people, you know,

  223. will be able to experience a lot. Now she waited, Harada, don't

  224. like she's in oution. So you know, if you can see from these

  225. scripture you look ten right issues, she will see it. Uh. And

  226. and you know you talk about the good Samaritan as well. Since the house

  227. Samali are in the big so in then they who helped the person that was

  228. you know, bitten up and abandoned by the road side just say like she

  229. punked tickets she kind of if you read it right, different ones that she

  230. passed by this man, but no one stopped to help. Juanna wanna kind

  231. of ding or male like she punk. And there's only one person, which

  232. is the good Samariton that showed mercy on this man. Were you eken the

  233. house Samli I render and God like she gate me? So the good surmeton

  234. wasn't anybody Samali I rent the previous person who passed by this wounded man.

  235. Right, they were all like you know, you know teachers, you know

  236. or modern day you know their pastors. They were in the restical church,

  237. their preachers, leaders of church. You know they passed by, but ignoring

  238. this person in the sails, so render now she so. God does not

  239. work with people with just with titles. Your your veteran, your mean scenerant.

  240. You don't go. God does not just use people with titles to make

  241. a difference in the community and the nation. Is your this year? Uh

  242. your this veteran like she died, don't go. So God works to each

  243. and every one of us who would volunteer ourselves situation. You don't fancy that

  244. that point of changing influence, servation you finds around city like she uh tmation

  245. the team that she true pound me? Okay. The fifth point it's from

  246. Genesis forty five transity. This is basically I won't turned to the scripture because

  247. we have to read the whole story and four but it's about the life of

  248. Joseph. Think my point like she do thet and gird junk and because yes

  249. doesn't mean so. The fifth point is generous. People give even when it

  250. doesn't make sense. You shouldn't cankie. Some of us may know the story

  251. of Joseph when you hear yes, some don't know. But basically, Uh

  252. paraphrasing and summarizing everything. Sure, So Joseph was uh sold off by his

  253. own siblings a slave because they were jealous of him. Yes, and we

  254. had a gentleman Baham like being. He was being treated and he was hummed.

  255. His own family injured, had a gaman that she paid pan around Harsho

  256. Shan, which you know, in the eyes of all of us, your

  257. family is supposed to be the most safest and secure place for child gay heightsmen

  258. to one fund. And you know, God brought Joseph to even different periods,

  259. different trials and tribulations, different seasons. There were glorious days as well

  260. for him Esten and Hi Hong Kong, the Rids because a d go the

  261. Rids and in the event that was family in the land. The family came

  262. and you know, the King's palace, Uh and Joseph met them to hon

  263. Uh found the Yes, true de found your ji Huang Garantmn July and Su

  264. and Joseph actually extended help, helping hand even to the family. Ye,

  265. like she s Garrant. You know there are certain things I'm not just sure

  266. for different ones. There are certain things in your life that's really hard to

  267. overcome and does not make sense for you to be generous, man, honor

  268. her book. She can't kie function. But the right thing to do is

  269. to continue to be generous even though it doesn't make sense, because you like

  270. you do, because it's an act of real maturity of a true believer.

  271. And when a certy to showmen and go yeah woman, turn to show the

  272. eager fun fat Okay, so six pointin you know I wanted to sorry,

  273. going back to when being generous when it doesn't make sense. I know,

  274. you know a campus in Laya, so your eger when they were facing persecution

  275. and a lot of restrictions left right, center, up them back, she's

  276. sixty all around surrounded. They didn't back down Hammond mayor just to uh just

  277. mayo just the teams like, they didn't stop loving their campus. They didn't

  278. stop loving the management teams. Yeah lie sd she like she s so they

  279. didn't stop giving their best as a student in the area of the academics as

  280. well, serviamon your male justice who down Hammond the year and it didn't stop

  281. them from reaching out over to their friends. Ye male like she chooted Harmond.

  282. Now she uh heard Harmon. You know if put in the situation,

  283. they were like, just flip the ball. I'm like, okay, the

  284. management like that, prosecutors like crazy, You'll just go I don't care.

  285. I don't think you have no funds that. But they stuck on and and

  286. generously love and now you know, they're found so much favor with the management

  287. of the colleague. Even harmony actually Harman, it's all that's a grana and

  288. shin out and through that, right, they saw a breakthrough happening in the

  289. lives of the different students also Haman. Different ones started excelling in their own

  290. personal life as well. The Hamann They started seeing even miracles of healing taking

  291. place in their campus found me and say, and they started seeing I saw

  292. other campuses, you know, coming to them asking you, okay, how

  293. do we do this? How do you all do this? Please? Teachers,

  294. please help us. You know what kind of taman is she is?

  295. She bangsu Yes, thank you? Okay, the next point, okay,

  296. generous people give to help others, even when they differ from one another.

  297. They know the things you should now CANKI now wy like she like she bound

  298. to trmon and harmony, juice, can't uh you undertake a cana. This

  299. is drawn from Luke seven, verse one to ten. So I want him

  300. to eat. But you know, if you read it, that's all right.

  301. And yeah they who the person that built the Jewish synagogue was the gentile?

  302. Now yo, says an eat out you shot down like take a a

  303. why bank. Back in those days. The Jews, I think still now

  304. as well. They do despise people who are non juice, so they call

  305. them the gentiles, say you tyran and harmant to wait that she why bank?

  306. But then uh, you know the non Jews, you know still what

  307. they did? You know, they still help build the church. The Synea

  308. got them this rman young Kankhider like she you know where we are at even

  309. uh you know in in Neila itself is a very very center. Okay,

  310. it's the center of education hub sounder sake uh un don't sing and being the

  311. center education HP. We have a lot of international students here as well.

  312. Chew. You don't see him then where you're put on the gordities and we

  313. will also meet a lot of people from not just students you know, working

  314. dout as well from different walks of lives. But we hand down, we

  315. hand down shan banshuman These are all given opportunities by the lot gay them waiting

  316. for us to cross over to the culture how rem and be relevant to them

  317. like she you have in jail time. You know, it can also be

  318. within you know. I always give this example. You know, when God

  319. challenged me to plan homes in in Salmon. You that's you know outside und

  320. she don't homes. Then I was like, yeah, go and go plant

  321. homes for an email, she don't homes. And when I went there,

  322. then suddenly got started bringing different ones and your guys. A lot of it

  323. were Malaysians. But then one thing I realized, even with the Malaysia,

  324. you know, we are multi ethnic groups, even put and most a lot

  325. of my homies were Chinese, Malaysian Chinese, the or the homies. Yeah

  326. I'm a Malaysian Chinese, yeah, Harden. But the only thing is I

  338. from because I understand what she's saying, because he or she's saying that.

  339. What kind of had I understanding that? Cool? Because so neither a translator

  340. just fan. So imagine you know if if you know josh in yourself and

  341. you put yourself in the person's shoe, right, you're like telling your host

  342. little has happened, and after every sentence you have to stop. Then the

  343. translation happens for a while for two sentences and put on then any teen so

  344. and that she find it so and then all conversation. My heart really broke

  345. because the person have the cry that stopped for translation, and cry again that

  346. stop for translation. The thing just just and so you kind of like cool,

  347. cool, she got Fanny and now she found you, right you cool?

  348. I was like, God, this is a language I totally don't understand,

  349. wouldn't go me by, but I want to reach also this group of

  350. people because yeah, like she's so shall thisman. So I signed out myself

  351. for you know, I tried to learn mandin like she found me. See

  352. don't worry, sign up myself for Mandriam class as one only k igradiation.

  353. But then I realized the class doesn't make sense because I don't learn. I

  354. don't like church stuff. I learned language stuff that she's all just tell you

  355. that the de found that because her, because it was it. They just

  356. don't want to. So I decided to know. Like God, it just

  357. opened up my ears and my brains and my heart to know what's going on

  358. when manding is happening. I tell you don't want showing to now. And

  359. because of that got worked now in sing so you never know even with your

  360. five floors to fish or half flow of half fish opening bun being when you're

  361. surrendered to God, that she's the altercation God say and telling God, you

  362. know, God, I want this to be used way about rounding like she's

  363. you know he will make the impossible become possible. How about take a male

  364. colnoonicity pain that's anyway, yo, that's my next point as well. I

  365. just was did and this is from Matthew fourteen, chapter fourteen, verse fourteen

  366. to twenty one. Jus from my type for Indis and Visus that we all

  367. know this parable that this little boy just five loads of bread and two fishes

  368. take down years. So I had being early, he offered his lunch,

  369. went you know, Jesus, and he's discapposed to go check out and see

  370. whether there was any food enough to be able to feed five thousand people down

  371. years to like she type elemental magician who like you wait about to see dig

  372. the tree, don't And of all people, a little boy came forward just

  373. now we're down to some imagine that could be his lunch that his mother packed

  374. for him. Her mama like she balcated and adult just come along his way

  375. and take away his lunch from him. But the miracle happened after that that

  376. five loaves and two fishes was enough to feed the multitude. There was five

  377. thousand men, but I believe there were more, you know, just like

  378. you wait about and God divinely multiplied that she paid. And so you may

  379. say, God, I only have half a loaf and the fish tail life.

  380. You're going to guess your punting. You wait, you know, but

  381. God can multiply that as you offer to him ranker he pay, and then

  382. what he's going to do with that, you know, it's going to be

  383. beyond your imagine imagination. How do the whole just so that she's how woman

  384. and young? Second last point is from Luke, chapter nineteen, verse one

  385. to ten down't eat up and uh, I'm not going to read to it,

  386. but it's from the story of this man called Za. Yes, now

  387. she doesn't take a gootia because straight, So he was go yeah, sorry.

  388. He was the chief text collector and a dancehold that she died so straight

  389. that the gun he does not collect just the amount that people need to give,

  390. but he actually collects stra strikes from a lot of people. So it's

  391. basically he stole from them that she is so guy, so straight. It

  392. has a son. Don't they just eating your told? And sister flight is

  393. slight. It's already you know. The A point is generous people give as

  394. a byproduct of their own personal transformation. So in the county can kid and

  395. into Harman current the jan beIN like she functioned. Zakis had just one encounter

  396. with Jesus, so I can't not have her yes eat and then he changed

  397. from stealing from everybody. So you hold your tong like she said on Taren

  398. holds it to a place to say that I'm going to return all that I

  399. have stolen or nat function ten, not just the exact amount, but way

  400. beyond that. That's a show door. So he could do that because he

  401. encountered Jesus and had eating, and you like your CD. So this is

  402. also why as believers, I say that you know it makes us different because

  403. women encounter Jesus. You know we are able to give beyond what what we

  404. think that we are able to manage Nazi just with her yes your a wointment

  405. as the whole. It's how woman's like she function And the last point I

  406. will come to that is from Philippin's chapter four, verse fifteen to sixteen.

  407. So fairy b shue this without So the last point is generous people give when

  408. others will not come ki from right away from So Christians here today too,

  409. men, are you able to answer the call from the Lord. She tried

  410. to hold the call that God is asking you to give of yourself, Juice,

  411. hold down it. But definitely firstly unto him. So and because we

  412. give unto him what God's heart beat is for the loss in reason the tiger

  413. seeing truely, yeah, high sang the younger. And God would definitely challenge

  414. us to give according to where his heart is beating at eating here like she

  415. woman, they're saying, like she uh functioning, And I would say,

  416. you know, not only Christians are actually generous people, but gay put the

  417. city, but there are people outside the church which is really really really generous

  418. as well, ya and face Conkian and they can offer everything sometimes beyond what

  419. Christians can offer. How many years now, but the only thing Christians that

  420. we have uh to be able to offer now is the gift of servation that

  421. Jesus has for juices years so so gay and so even true because being generous

  422. itself is a lot of giving true actions even a cankind true don't like she

  423. function why but that is just an introduction to the love of Jesus for them

  424. yet too sooner yeah, years to get that gate harmon the I that she

  425. and she because you know I started with you. Also that all may know

  426. that's the theme for this year as well. Now just how they are churns

  427. dumb, that the whole of Neeli may know that Jesus is Lord Haround gourney

  428. into Dinner two thousand years two, so that everyone may know that the only

  429. way to heaven is to Jesus, Harna, do not go to down,

  430. sir, don't not go to down the way Juice years two, And that

  431. no one else can offer them salvation except the Lord Jesus maynay chill. And

  432. so I'm just going to close with this two testimonies now like I'm going to

  433. invite extreme forward way that she in extreme sounds life. So like I said,

  434. you know this is also drawn out through this period of time that the

  435. Lord is bring me and even uh my family true as well. Juice rule

  436. shot Digger infants, Juice World or tatting lead. So we have been caring

  437. for my uncle's having the fourth stage cancer. Now her man too easy,

  438. that she theger, So it's not easy. Now he's starting to have a

  439. lot of pain. Now Juice your de city the eye and so every two

  440. hours he has to be a morphine mainly how do you you dig the time

  441. and we got here has a cancer off his digestive system, so digestister is

  442. very very messed up, not even that face the deeper. So sometimes it's

  443. very hard for to have output. Sheep hip been. So sometimes it's either

  444. really hard or it comes up really really messy true uh being just faith and

  445. he's in a lot of pain, like generally. Okay, So family,

  446. you know since the time, you know, even before that, we've been

  447. you know, we did share the gospel with him, but since the time

  448. we took care of him, your friends had sang center food in consistent and

  449. you have been telling him who Jesus is man like she heard has straight too,

  450. and it is taking care of a person who is not well. It's

  451. difficult, especially if he's also not more bound. Now, don't be in

  452. aal you're young. But one of the things that you know, God has

  453. even challenged me and my family is to be generous in this area. Considers

  454. highlight. Woman found me in your face concake and we've got one of the

  455. things. He or not uncle, but he's not not siblings of my parents.

  456. Okay, he is my mom's cousin. So it's further distance. Mama

  457. that dig d uh just had a had the girl. She just had a

  458. girl. So when he found out that he wasn't well, he actually reached

  459. out to a family for help. Nasiga, you not have fashion. He

  460. pushed you like the garant. So basically his mom and my mom's mom they

  461. are sisters, just dig the mama the white poe used to d me.

  462. So they have top siblings or the white boy. So imagine how many cousins

  463. he has or how many uh nissas and nephewsas he would have as well sing

  464. no bound. So he has asked for a family for help because we asked

  465. him why, they said, because I am comfortable with you and I trust

  466. your Now you woman, you one? How much money here like young woman?

  467. So how to say now to that? If he didn't say that,

  468. my parents were actually opened already to take him in. Don't care for him?

  469. Tyran had to or the full moment how many things her that she's so

  470. about three weeks four weeks ago, uh, you know assault, our leadership

  471. training took a patience, so I shed that need uh that you know need

  472. the prayer you show or the cheat and that Saturday night itself. My mom

  473. message said, hey, uh you know your auntie wish is her another cousin

  474. message now that nineteen one show the bigger be like she her war shout out,

  475. mam So. She asked what happened to him? And I was like,

  476. what happened? What the mama? So so he said, actually,

  477. he just told me to throw all the idols in his house. How do

  478. you how do you, mama show? How do you like? She so

  479. dearly that they said, sorry, we have not talked about his idols in

  480. his house. Or even when we were showing Jesus years to the one,

  481. we didn't even say about you know, you cannot have any other gods besides

  482. Jesus when you believe in him, even her show that downing years to the

  483. So what we did was to tell him that Jesus loves you, show the

  484. juice and the years so I need and you know that our body is just

  485. temporal. Here now the rot in the and and basically that it and we

  486. show him about healing also eats it. So that was the first miracle,

  487. even through us just loving him, just old woman like she and the girl

  488. as the other family members. You know, despise him. She had like

  489. she didn't because actually she's a bankrupt in wait reading port handed and he has

  490. gone to prison before she got so nobody there to take care of him.

  491. She the mill and like she did. But then he said he didn't tell

  492. us. He just told her we got got right, go in the house

  493. and throw you everything your milekan woman. And you think she was that so

  494. we knew that was the byproduct of him wanting to trust in Jesus. Moth

  495. Now she got yao like she can tell thee. And the second was it

  496. just happened this week fashion. He finally decided to declare with his mouth that

  497. Jesus is my Lord and savior. How do you say, God, she

  498. shank out, so you need to shake out? Yes, Susan had to

  499. her you to first, you know, God touched his heart so saying yeah

  500. true had a sing uh. And then now he's declaring with his mouth,

  501. she had you the call that she shined out. Sure, So that's what

  502. I'm not saying. You know, our family did, like you know,

  503. we are you know, the bestest people. But what I'm saying is,

  504. you know, just love well. But the garrant you don't don't know how

  505. because sitution nor can kid like she eyed hard and and I do know that,

  506. you know, God is in control and he is still working in his

  507. life. Wait, it's down a shiny t ranjuice, the mad down.

  508. Yeah, so that's one of it, and and and the other one.

  509. You know, my own personal as well, which last week or so,

  510. I shed in some money. They sha the adition you're not even so and

  511. I'm going close with this already when I and that she do so that's uh,

  520. You know, we were really really on fire for the lot. That's the

  521. whole the pun yuman was he shaty Shaphan the Wai. So the church I

  530. a comic book about this size that tells about what Christianity is. Stiven just

  531. even certain you're EASi and and you know uh and we will get you know.

  532. At twelve thirteen, fourteen years old, we are sent to shopping malls

  542. my friends that were lost, you know. And it's very very difficult now

  543. the sing sing because in my friends a lot of them were Christians and then

  544. their backs like the chin made drama my man. So at least about probably

  545. three months ago, God started establishing the relationship again we do with one of

  546. the four that were that are lost. You she mailed the rend world your

  547. juice say, and we started because oh random, he reached out first.

  548. So we started chattings. How do you like? She ting? So some

  549. of you may know, right, I don't like long messages. With every

  550. long message sometimes I just like, okay, God, it dumbs out the

  551. fact or doing dumbs up what is this? Okay? So God then said

  552. be generous and just chatting with him and reached out to him. The Fami

  553. and Kankai that you want like she's and I tried to chart. Suddenly he

  554. actually did. He sent I think Tripictureshold, how do your father sand girds
