1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,800 Thank you. Praise the Lord Church. 2 00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:06,400 Praise the Lord. We apologize for the technical 3 00:00:06,560 --> 00:00:10,200 difficulties. I'm sister Jamie Rhodes. 4 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,160 I wanted to 1st so I don't forget. 5 00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:18,160 We have bookmarks at the back. Please stop and take a bookmark 6 00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:20,640 on your way out. Take those. 7 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,680 There is a barcode on there. If you have a smartphone, you 8 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:27,840 can look us up on Facebook through there and follow us and 9 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,240 see all the things that God is doing in Uganda. 10 00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:39,880 So please pick one of those up. So when we first arrived to 11 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:44,960 Uganda, it didn't take long to realize that they have a very 12 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:53,200 strong Muslim population there and the Though it was the first 13 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:57,680 foreign religion in Uganda, Catholics and Anglicans have 14 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:01,640 been the dominating religion. The people of Uganda are hungry 15 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,800 for more of God. Many Christian Church members 16 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,560 outside of the Catholic religion refer to themselves as born 17 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:12,160 again. Sharing what the Bible says of 18 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,160 being born of water and spirit is part of the doctrinal 19 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:19,560 teaching that we are sharing with ministers across Uganda and 20 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,160 people that we are making friendships with there. 21 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,720 Some of them have been filled with the spirit, but there are a 22 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:32,840 big majority that take that that experience of repentance and 23 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,800 they they look at it as being born again. 24 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:40,040 So they'd have had an encounter with Jesus and they love the 25 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,400 Lord. They just need more truth. 26 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:51,000 So within one month of being in in Uganda this past 10 months, 27 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:55,760 God had provided us with a safe and quiet place to live in the 28 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,720 southeast part of the crowded capital of Kampala. 29 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,480 Being in the central location has not only allowed us to enjoy 30 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:08,280 modern conveniences like refrigerated stores and freezers 31 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,480 in the stores, but also it's been beneficial for us for 32 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,000 outreach. So it's a, it's a central 33 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,480 location. So when we do mission, it's from 34 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,320 any direction that we go. It's just much easier. 35 00:02:21,640 --> 00:02:26,880 And also when my husband has leadership come, pastors and and 36 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:30,800 ministry come, it's just a more central location for people to 37 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,400 come to. So we do host in the compound 38 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,000 there where we're at. So ministry goes on there as 39 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,680 well. So we live there, but ministry 40 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,240 goes on there as well. So during our close to 10 month 41 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:48,280 stay in Uganda, we've hosted many AOJC leaders or American, 42 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,520 not many leaders, but a few of them. 43 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,400 And but many, many people have came. 44 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:57,560 We've had four times we've hosted in our compound since 45 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,680 we've been in Kampala. So the orphanage, so that's 46 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:04,800 where the brother Pastor Josh Wilson will bring people on 47 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:09,040 missions trips to Uganda and they go to Hope in Christ two or 48 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:13,320 three days out of that trip. And these orphans are these 49 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:17,240 children at Hope in Christ have truly become like family, not 50 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,760 only to the mission groups, but to my husband and I as well. 51 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,640 We've been going once a month we go and we do teaching there. 52 00:03:25,640 --> 00:03:28,960 So we're just trying to give a solid foundation. 53 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,040 So we've just started at the Plan of Salvation and we're just 54 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,400 going to move right in on to other biblical truths to teach 55 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,840 these children. And we're hoping to take another 56 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,320 day and go out and just have prayer meeting, praying the word 57 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,800 with these children and just allowing the Spirit of God to 58 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:51,440 move there on a regular basis and just see what what we can do 59 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:55,200 there to be a blessing as missionaries. 60 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,760 We travel all across Uganda meeting pastors and 61 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,040 congregations. And many of these churches are 62 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:05,240 in villages and have churches made of wood poles and sheet 63 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:09,880 metal, some made with mud, mud and grass roofs. 64 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,520 So there are current laws not yet implemented that will hinder 65 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,480 a huge population of these churches that we are teaching in 66 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:24,560 when these laws are enforced. So investing in permanent 67 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,840 structures to to worship in is something that we need to focus 68 00:04:27,840 --> 00:04:31,680 on now in order to make sure the Apostolic doctrine has a 69 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:36,320 positive presence in Uganda. The needs and challenges of most 70 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,520 pastors and their congregations in an underdeveloped country 71 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:43,920 like Uganda can be overwhelming. Yet we see many of these pastors 72 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,160 taking in children, giving out shoes, helping other family 73 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,440 members with school fees, and the list could go on and on. 74 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:59,320 So I want to take the last few moments to share with you a 75 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:03,480 vision that God has given me. It started last year as we 76 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,640 prepared to visit a few churches before we headed to Uganda. 77 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,960 I was writing out what I would say and as I wrote the words 78 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,200 continue to flow. The thought had not fully come 79 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,280 to me before that moment. I would like to share with you 80 00:05:16,280 --> 00:05:19,240 what I believe to be a God inspired vision that I wrote 81 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,520 that day. With approximately 2 million 82 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,640 orphans in Uganda, the Apostolic Church has an open door to 83 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,920 millions of souls waiting for love, provision, and hope. 84 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,600 The American Apostolic Church has an opportunity to not only 85 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,120 share the love of Jesus Christ, but to invest in an Apostolic 86 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,960 education that will forever change the fate of many of these 87 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,480 children. Please pray with us for laborers 88 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:50,000 and resources to make Apostolic schools a reality throughout 89 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,680 Uganda. So during our ten months that we 90 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:58,640 just came back from this vision, this thought of Apostolic 91 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:02,240 schools throughout Uganda would come to me again and again in 92 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:06,280 prayer. We would visit village churches 93 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:12,360 and we would see pastors opening schools and, you know, just 94 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:16,360 doing the best they could to provide some, some kind of 95 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,720 education because these the, you know, these children could not 96 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:24,000 afford to go to a school. So they're opening schools and 97 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:29,120 just doing the best they can. So the need, the need for 98 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,880 schools in Uganda is great. Many children still cannot 99 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:37,920 afford to go to school where there may be some government 100 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,840 assistance. It it seems like maybe they 101 00:06:40,840 --> 00:06:42,560 don't want to go to those schools. 102 00:06:42,840 --> 00:06:46,080 They're looking for schools that have better teaching that they 103 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,680 feel like that they can actually get an education. 104 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,680 The goal of these families sending their children to 105 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,920 school, like just doing their best even when they're poor, 106 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,640 just struggling to get school fees, is because they're hoping 107 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,920 their children can somehow just get out of that grip of poverty. 108 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,480 So education is very, very important. 109 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:12,880 The children in Uganda are very aware of, of their, you know, 110 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,440 their grades is a very big concern because if they don't 111 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,160 make certain grades, they won't be able to attend certain 112 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:23,760 schools. So education is very much a 113 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,680 concern for the people of Uganda. 114 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,920 So every day I'm, I'm seeing a little bit more, I'm just 115 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,800 understanding a little bit more of the complexity of the 116 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,840 education system in Uganda. I see a little bit more every 117 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:43,920 day, the greater need and how much having an Apostolic school 118 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:48,160 that teaches Apostolic doctoring during Chapel can make an 119 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,000 impact. There's so many children in 120 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:57,720 Uganda, and I believe that God has put this on my heart to 121 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:02,160 share with the people in America the need for Apostolic schools. 122 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:09,120 If we can, You know, we see Catholic schools, Muslim 123 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,520 schools, there are some Christian schools, but a lot of 124 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:18,080 them are very expensive. But if we could start planting 125 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:22,520 schools and letting these parents know if you, you know, 126 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:27,040 and providing a good quality education with good teachers, 127 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:32,200 then they will come because they're looking for it. 128 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:37,320 They're looking for it and then, you know, we can tell them, OK, 129 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,919 you know, we, this is what your child will be taught during 130 00:08:40,919 --> 00:08:43,799 Chapel. You know, the Spirit of God will 131 00:08:43,799 --> 00:08:47,640 be moving during Chapel. So not only are we going to 132 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,560 influence these children and give them opportunities for 133 00:08:51,560 --> 00:08:55,600 truth and the Spirit of God to fill them, but also for their 134 00:08:55,600 --> 00:09:00,120 parents to hear this truth. So I believe it is a great open 135 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:06,200 door and I'm just, I'm just trusting God to do it. 136 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:12,240 God has opened doors for me to partner with a lady that is in 137 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,280 Uganda. She works for the government. 138 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:21,040 She is an ambassador in Uganda. She is an ambassador in Austria. 139 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,640 And God is connecting us. We're in the process of getting 140 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:29,280 a work visa through her. She has a nonprofit and and that 141 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:34,600 nonprofit has a a church that she calls the prayer center. 142 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,200 And I don't know if if he could put yes. 143 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:44,040 So this is the prayer center. So this would be there is land 144 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,920 there that she is willing for us to put a school. 145 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:52,800 And as just since I came back here, we continue to discuss 146 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,240 things. And then I realized she sent me 147 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,840 plans. So she's had blueprints for a 148 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:02,440 school there for some time. I don't know, I need to ask her 149 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,120 how long have you had these blueprints? 150 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,040 So I don't, if you don't mind to put that other picture up. 151 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:08,440 I don't know if you've seen it already. 152 00:10:08,680 --> 00:10:12,800 So this is just the front of the blueprint for the school. 153 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:18,120 It would house 300 children, kindergarten through primary 7. 154 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:23,640 And so we've discussed and a portion of the funds that would 155 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:27,200 be raised from this school would go right back into building 156 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:33,760 other schools across Uganda. And so God has given me someone 157 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:37,880 that is a godly woman. She's a praying woman, and she 158 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:41,000 has vision and our visions have collided. 159 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,080 And so God has just worked it all out. 160 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:53,560 And so I'm asking you to pray with us that let me get through 161 00:10:53,560 --> 00:10:56,760 here. Pray for us, for the souls of 162 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,560 Uganda. Consider supporting the greater 163 00:10:59,560 --> 00:11:02,640 Hope vision and other mission needs in Uganda. 164 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:09,400 And one thing, just remember us on a monthly basis if you can. 165 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,080 But we want, we want people to feel led by God. 166 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:22,400 We want cheerful givers. And if you can't give, please 167 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,240 pray for us. And even if you can give, please 168 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,440 pray for us. Please remember, remember 169 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,440 Uganda, Remember the children of Uganda. 170 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:36,920 I do believe God has spoken a greater hope to me, a greater 171 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:40,720 hope for the children of Uganda. I kind of skipped some of my 172 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,800 notes, but yes. But God has promised these 173 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:48,600 children a greater hope. And so right now I'm the 174 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:53,680 mouthpiece and and I'm praying and believing for Apostolic 175 00:11:53,680 --> 00:11:55,840 schools through throughout Uganda. 176 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,280 With God, all things are possible. 177 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,560 God bless you all. Thank you for having us tonight. 178 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:13,480 Amen. Mccambo, you have a zebra 179 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:17,680 Canisa. Yes, you're right. 180 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:30,640 That is praise the Lord Church and Luganda, so you so that's 181 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,160 your language lesson for the day. 182 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:37,680 But so English is though, the primary language of Uganda, 183 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,120 which is surprising to most people. 184 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:45,240 So Luganda, what I just spoke is probably the second most popular 185 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:46,920 language. And then there's a lot of tribal 186 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:52,520 languages across Uganda. But we have, if you were in 187 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,720 Kampala, just going to stores and things like that, you have 188 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,360 no, there's no issue speaking English. 189 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:00,880 Everybody speaks English. They know what you're saying 190 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:06,400 most of the time. So I do want to give special 191 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:10,120 honor to Pastor McGee and First Lady for having us. 192 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:13,600 I've heard a lot of good things about you. 193 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:26,800 I'm my pastor on Monday. I'm I'm telling the truth. 194 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:28,920 He said you're going to you're going to love these people. 195 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:33,440 So that is exactly what he said. Nothing bad. 196 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:43,680 So we are very glad to be here. So basically I'm just going, I'm 197 00:13:43,680 --> 00:13:46,800 going to move fast here. I'm going to have quite a bit 198 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:48,600 information a short period of time. 199 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,720 But I just want to give an update on what we are doing in 200 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:55,360 Uganda and kind of the demographics of Uganda and where 201 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:59,000 Uganda is at. I did not know where Uganda was 202 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,520 at before I went on my first mission trip there. 203 00:14:02,560 --> 00:14:05,640 I, I knew it was in Africa, but I really didn't know where is 204 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,160 that or any significance of Uganda. 205 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:13,360 But so Uganda is located, it's called Eastern Africa. 206 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:19,880 So to your N you'll have South Sudan, to your W you would have 207 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:25,080 Democratic Republican of Congo. And then to your E would be 208 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,400 Kenya. And then right next to Kenya 209 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,120 would be the Indian Ocean. So that's kind of where that's 210 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,000 at. And then South of it, right 211 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,560 where we live at, we live in Kampala and Lake Victoria. 212 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:41,400 We're, we're like maybe a mile, 2 miles from Lake Victoria where 213 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:45,880 we live at which Lake Victoria is the largest, second largest 214 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:49,360 lake in the world. It is the largest tropical lake 215 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,880 in the world. It has several islands in it 216 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:58,400 where we do minister on now so and then also something neat, 217 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:02,000 the Nile River comes out of Lake Victoria. 218 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,680 It starts in Jinja and that's where it starts. 219 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:09,160 It goes all the way through Africa, through Egypt, which we 220 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,080 know that baby Moses was put in that corner. 221 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:17,400 So, so that a lot of history in, in Uganda, in Africa, a lot of 222 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,440 culture, a lot of old history in there. 223 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,360 So the Nile River is the longest river in the world. 224 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:28,000 So that's two pretty neat things about Uganda that I didn't know 225 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:29,440 about before I went there either. 226 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:35,600 So the size of Uganda is comparable to the state of 227 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,280 Oregon. It's it's not, it's a smaller 228 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:42,400 country, not too big a country. So Oregon, just put his 229 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,560 perspective. Oregon has about 4.2 million 230 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:49,480 people. Uganda has over 48 million 231 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:53,680 people. So there's people everywhere. 232 00:15:54,280 --> 00:16:00,080 Population is everywhere. And it's it is projected at the 233 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,160 end of this year, there's going to be 50 million people. 234 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:12,760 And here's astonishing number also, roughly 48% are under 15 235 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:17,800 years old. It is one of the youngest 236 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:23,800 populations in the world. And once we got to Uganda, this 237 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,840 is when my wife started getting this vision like we have to 238 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,960 reach these kids. Yes, we want to reach adults, 239 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:33,800 but that we got a shift here. We have to shift how we're 240 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:37,360 teaching, what we're doing and reach these kids. 241 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:42,640 So that is on our hearts now. There, there, when you go to 242 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,120 Uganda, space to compile, there's kids everywhere, on the 243 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,200 street, everywhere. Just a lot of kids. 244 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:56,160 There's about 5 kids per childbearing woman, so that's 245 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,560 average. So just a lot of children. 246 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:07,400 So the size of Kampala, where we live at is this capital city and 247 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,720 the area, the metropolitan area, there's about 6.7 million people 248 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,359 in the area that we live in. So it's very populated. 249 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:19,560 It's about the same size as as metro Atlanta or Washington DC, 250 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:27,680 but scrunched up. So there is a lot of people and 251 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:32,800 another reason she, my wife is saying we do live in Kampala for 252 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:36,680 a few different reasons. But the economic dominance of 253 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:40,600 Kampala, it generates over 60% of Yagana's GDP. 254 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:45,400 So most of your business transactions go, you have to go 255 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,280 to Kampala. Some things you can do online, 256 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,800 but other things like like vehicle registrations, you buy a 257 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:53,760 vehicle, you've got to go to Kampala. 258 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,080 So that's like if you buy a vehicle here, you have to go to 259 00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:01,160 Washington, DC, it's not going to work too well. 260 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:07,440 So then you have long lines, you know, so, but that's another 261 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,840 thing about Kampala. The annual growth rate is about 262 00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:15,960 5% growth annually. So think about that 6.7 people 263 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:17,680 right now and then it's going to multiply. 264 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:24,840 So the work of the Kingdom is great in Kampala and to central 265 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,640 location. We, we are, we can have meetings 266 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:32,160 at our at our house a lot easier than other places in Kampala or 267 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,920 in Uganda. And right now Uganda has 268 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:40,440 religious freedom, which is a different than most African 269 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:44,640 countries like Nigeria, different countries, there's 270 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:49,600 persecution going on. So we are very fortunate, at 271 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:53,960 least for the time being, we are free to worship just like this. 272 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:57,600 We can be outside and worship and we're not afraid of getting 273 00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:01,680 dragged out by soldiers. So we are very thankful that we 274 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:06,360 have time right now to work and that's why we want to do a 275 00:19:06,360 --> 00:19:09,800 school, get something grounded. So eventually if we're not able 276 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:13,120 to be there, we somebody else can carry on the work. 277 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,560 It's not about us, it's about the ministry there. 278 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,760 So we are currently working with eight churches in the Kampala 279 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,680 area. So every Sunday we are attending 280 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:28,040 one of those services to either speak, support, whatever we can 281 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,680 do for these churches, we are there for them. 282 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:40,560 So as we started full time officially in Uganda and last 283 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:48,880 May, so God was he was kind of telling me how, how to set up 284 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,000 teaching because I was praying a lot. 285 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:52,800 My God, how how do you want this? 286 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:56,560 How do can we be successful in Uganda and teaching? 287 00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,920 There's so many people, how are we going to reach everybody? 288 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:04,840 So God gave me this plan. He led me to this discipleship 289 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:08,440 series. It's a 23 lesson series. 290 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:12,720 I did not write it, but we use this. 291 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,680 So it teaches. Obviously first is the plan of 292 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:20,640 salvation, and then it goes into the fruit of the Spirit. 293 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,720 Gifts of the Spirit, how to operate in the gifts of the 294 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:27,880 Spirit, how to live a separated lifestyle from the world, the 295 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,280 family structure, the structure of a church. 296 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:35,080 So we take one thing at a time, we build, we keep building on 297 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,800 the plan of salvation. We will spend. 298 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,920 So we started this probably in June of last year. 299 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:47,800 So we start our first series in June and we started with 300 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:52,240 repentance, the baptism in Jesus name and filling Holy Ghost. 301 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,440 We took two days to teach those three things full days. 302 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:59,560 So we have many scripture verses only we teach scripture verses, 303 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:04,000 a lot of scripture verses. So it cannot be debated. 304 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:09,960 We cannot be debated on this. So, so how we do this? 305 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:13,360 We we have we work on three islands, we teach this on three 306 00:21:13,360 --> 00:21:17,680 islands and we teach this in eight districts inland. 307 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:23,880 So clear from Kanjojo which is close to Congo all the way to 308 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:28,600 Mabali which is borders Kenya, the whole strip right there kind 309 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:34,120 of central area there in Uganda we will teach. 310 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:40,600 So we have 8 districts. So each it takes about 8 visits 311 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,440 to go back to each. Each of these places takes 8 312 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,680 visits to accomplish these 23 lessons. 313 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:53,240 So we right now are about two visits into it. 314 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,920 So we have a long way to go, but it takes time to travel. 315 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:59,120 We travel our we travel 2 * a month. 316 00:22:00,120 --> 00:22:03,480 So it's it takes one day to get anywhere in Kampala. 317 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,840 It's rough travel. So we take one day to get there, 318 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,000 two day teaching and then a day to get back. 319 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:13,320 We do that 2 * a month among other things that we do. 320 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:19,160 So and right now somebody asked if what's going on right now in 321 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,040 Uganda, what are you doing? It's still going on. 322 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:28,120 We have two of our trusted leaders in Uganda that they go 323 00:22:28,120 --> 00:22:31,760 out and they just got back. I prayed today from Bavuma 324 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:35,720 Islands from teaching. I think that is on their third 325 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:37,880 round of teaching in Bavuma Island. 326 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,880 So we are going forward as we're here in America, things are 327 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:45,920 still going on. People are getting taught right 328 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:50,880 now as I'm speaking. And also we've since we started 329 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:54,240 going to the islands, a lot of people on the islands do not 330 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,960 speak English. They are not as educated. 331 00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,680 So they will speak mostly Luganda on these three islands 332 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:05,000 that we go to. So we felt in my spear, I felt 333 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,160 that God would want us. We need to translate this 334 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,760 discipleship series into Luganda from English. 335 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,120 So I'm like, we prayed about God, how are we going to do 336 00:23:15,120 --> 00:23:18,360 this? But God did provide the funding 337 00:23:18,360 --> 00:23:24,880 for it and my 2 leaders can, they are right now are, are 338 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:29,800 translating that into Luganda. So I, my hopes is at the end of 339 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,600 the summer, we will have this in the Uganda language so we can 340 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:36,360 teach more effectively because we hand these pamphlets out. 341 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,600 So as I'm teaching, they have this in their hand. 342 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:41,560 They're going to the scriptures that we're teaching. 343 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:45,240 We're doing this together. So we're teaching it together so 344 00:23:45,360 --> 00:23:50,280 they don't miss anything. Because my vision is after we're 345 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:55,320 done with these 23 lessons, that these leaders will be able to 346 00:23:55,360 --> 00:23:58,520 multiply. We don't teach congregations. 347 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:04,520 I felt the Holy Spirit to teach leaders #1 it's, it's more 348 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,280 economical for me because we feed these people as we teach 349 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:09,560 every day. We have to be feed these also. 350 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:15,520 So we keep it between 15 to 20 pastors and leaders every place 351 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,040 that we go. And then after they're done, 352 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:21,680 they will be able to teach it. So that's my vision. 353 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:25,040 So pray for that, that it keeps going on that they get a hold of 354 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:30,000 this and can do what we do. We also, this is also exciting. 355 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:34,560 I've got a contact, I don't know if anybody knows Brother Brown 356 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,720 from Quincy, OH, if you've heard of him, but he's a very good 357 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:42,480 pastor friend of mine that now has been you gone, you gone by 5 358 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,960 different times helping us out, preaching. 359 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:51,680 He's a preacher, so he goes out, he reaches for people, very good 360 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,880 at reaching for people. And he's got a contact that he 361 00:24:54,880 --> 00:25:00,040 gave me and it's the head chaplain over all the prison in 362 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:04,000 Uganda. So he gave him one Bible study. 363 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:08,120 At that time, he wasn't ready to get baptized, so he handed the 364 00:25:08,120 --> 00:25:10,600 baton over to me. And that's where missionaries 365 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,600 come into play at. That's what my job is now. 366 00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:19,320 So I've from that point on and that's probably about last six 367 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:21,520 months we've been in contact with him. 368 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:27,840 And probably about three months ago they've asked my wife to 369 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,080 speak at their church to the women. 370 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:36,920 So they planned this after the morning service for her to 371 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,360 speak. Well, it so happened that the 372 00:25:39,360 --> 00:25:40,960 men wanted to stay in there also. 373 00:25:41,360 --> 00:25:47,320 So we had a full house when she spoke and after she spoke 6 374 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,600 people want to baptize in Jesus name. 375 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:56,560 So when we found this out, I asked the chaplain. 376 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:58,400 He was there. I'm like this would be a great 377 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:00,480 time for you to get baptized in Jesus name. 378 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:05,000 He's like and right then he's like, I don't know if I'm quite 379 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:08,200 ready. I'm like OK, so but by the time 380 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,720 if I a couple miles away is where we baptized in this little 381 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,960 Creek. By the time we got there, he 382 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:19,360 came to me and said, OK, I see it now baptized. 383 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:23,720 I want baptized. So that day after from her 384 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:28,560 speaking, we baptized him the head chaplain of Uganda in Jesus 385 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:32,440 name. So now he wants all of his 386 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:36,840 chaplains to teach the oneness doctrine in every prison. 387 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:41,600 So then it got to me. It's like, OK, how do we OK now 388 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:47,160 how do we do this? So I've been in contact. 389 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,680 Right before we left, I had a meeting with the head chaplain. 390 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:51,600 We went out to dinner. We talked about this. 391 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:57,240 And he wants, he wants to know how we can get college into the 392 00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:03,080 prison so they can get a degree. So I'm like, let me look into 393 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,760 this. So I got with Brother Naomi. 394 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:09,760 He is my mentor. When I have questions like that, 395 00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:14,160 he's the man I go to, very knowledgeable about many 396 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:15,560 different things on the mission field. 397 00:27:16,120 --> 00:27:19,800 So we talked about it. He said well first they don't 398 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,760 get Internet in the prison. So he's like why don't we first 399 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:27,200 take the first steps and enroll the chap, all the chaplains into 400 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,240 this. Why don't you work on that? 401 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,280 Try get them enrolled in that. So I'm like, OK, that's a great 402 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,480 idea. So last week we got the first 403 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:39,720 one enrolled. So we are going forward on this. 404 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:45,360 So when we get back, I will also be teaching all these chaplains 405 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:50,000 my discipleship series and then we can at least teach that to 406 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:51,520 the inmates. We can do something. 407 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:57,120 We can start with this till we get a, a way to get Internet or 408 00:27:57,120 --> 00:27:59,800 a way to get this college into the all the prisons. 409 00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:05,080 So that is a huge open door that God has given us. 410 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:10,520 So please pray for us on that. Some things are bigger than what 411 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:13,840 I am. A lot of things are, you know, 412 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,640 like I, I don't know how to do this, but every time that 413 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:20,880 happens, he brings someone in our lives to help us, you know, 414 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:26,760 help us to do that. So also, this is very, this very 415 00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:29,680 special thing that we do. We're in Uganda. 416 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:35,400 We have a like a Zoom prayer meeting every Monday and Friday 417 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:42,400 at 6:00 AM and that includes my wife, me and my assistant and my 418 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,840 island director. We come together, we have 419 00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:48,640 prayer. We not only pray for ministry in 420 00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:53,000 Uganda, we pray for you. We pray for churches here in 421 00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:56,440 America, churches that support us, churches that don't support 422 00:28:56,440 --> 00:29:01,760 us yet, but one this teaching churches here, we pray for you. 423 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,080 So I want you to know there's people praying for you in 424 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:09,040 Uganda. Pray every day. 425 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:15,360 So and we pray for unity. We need unity. 426 00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:19,880 This is how revival was going to come is unity, the sphere of 427 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:23,120 unity that binds us together. So we pray for each other. 428 00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:28,720 So the number one way to have unity is prayer for each other. 429 00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:32,960 And that's when we have, when the pastor calls for prayer, 430 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:36,600 church prayer, it's before service or corporate prayer on a 431 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,680 Friday night or whenever you might call for a prayer night 432 00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:43,080 come because that bonds us together. 433 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:47,480 It bonds you together at a local, but it also reaches 434 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,760 because you have, if you have focused prayer request, just 435 00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:52,560 like we had tonight. If we're all praying for these 436 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,000 needs, it'll go all around the world. 437 00:29:55,880 --> 00:30:00,040 So I believe in corporate prayer, they don't take away it 438 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,080 don't take from our personal prayer life. 439 00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:06,320 This is separate from that. So the second way to promote 440 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:10,280 unity is to give. You can give to your local 441 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:12,520 church. We need to give offerings. 442 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:14,560 This is above tithing. OK, I'm not talking about 443 00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,080 tithing. I'm talking about giving to 444 00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,960 special needs. And I seen up on the board and 445 00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:23,160 that's great because we need to give to family. 446 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,400 We have a family here that's a focus on which is great because 447 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,640 this it brings unity. When you see a need inside your 448 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:32,240 local church. We need to take care of that 449 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:33,840 need. That's number one. 450 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:39,360 Take care of ourselves here and then we have Missions America 451 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:43,160 and I see adopt A adopt A city or Missions America. 452 00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:48,800 That is very important. We sow into that as well because 453 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:52,640 we love America. We call to Uganda, I love 454 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,680 America, so we work with each other. 455 00:30:55,680 --> 00:31:00,080 We we support each other in prayer and giving and then 456 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:04,000 giving to world missions because when we do all three of those, 457 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,520 we are advancing God's Kingdom together. 458 00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:10,880 Not one of us can do this alone. It takes a team, it takes 459 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:16,200 churches, it takes missionaries, evangelists to do God's work. 460 00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:20,760 So the third way to promote unity is participate in local 461 00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:24,080 church functions. Like I see on the board, you 462 00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,760 have local things going on. Participate because that brings 463 00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:29,720 the local body together, because you're working together. 464 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:34,280 The pastor can't do everything. He he might be the face of 465 00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,600 everything here, but he can't do everything. 466 00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,320 He can't be in the sound system. He can't do everything at one 467 00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:41,440 time. So it takes a team, it takes 468 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:45,840 unity to do that. And also go to your district 469 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,280 meetings. Are you in the Indiana district? 470 00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:49,000 Yeah. OK. 471 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:52,840 That's what I thought. So went and I heard you have 472 00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:54,880 some stuff going on in the district. 473 00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:59,040 Be a part of that because that brings unity in your district. 474 00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:06,400 And then lastly, go on the foreign missions trip, you know, 475 00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:08,120 and sometimes that's not for everyone. 476 00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:12,240 I do understand that. But when you do go, it gives you 477 00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:15,560 a perception that you will not have and it don't have to be. 478 00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:19,320 Yes, I want you to go to Uganda and you meet up with brother 479 00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:20,880 Josh. He's all about Uganda. 480 00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:25,440 OK, You have heard if our our sound wasn't too good on 481 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:28,720 everybody, Josh talking about Uganda, brother Josh is. 482 00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:32,920 He comes at least once a year and more than that sometimes 483 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:38,000 just to visit Jamie and I I can't thank him enough for what 484 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:42,320 he's done for us in Uganda. But so think of these three 485 00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:45,280 things when you think about unity, think about think of 486 00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,840 these words. Pray, give, go. 487 00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:51,120 Yeah, right. All those things, even you can't 488 00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:53,880 go on a missions trip. You can go here. 489 00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,120 There's outreach here that we need to do. 490 00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,400 So be a part of something that's bigger than you. 491 00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:05,400 Because this, the mission field for me, Jamie and I is bigger 492 00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,480 than we can do. It's it's bigger than us, You 493 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:10,720 pastoring and this community is bigger than you. 494 00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:16,280 So I want to go to I'm getting to in here, but I want to go to 495 00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:20,840 Romans chapter 12, verse 4 and verse 5. 496 00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:29,160 For as we have many members in one body and all being members 497 00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:34,320 have not the same office. So we being many are one body in 498 00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:38,280 Christ and everyone members one of another. 499 00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:42,720 So as missionaries, I can speak for myself. 500 00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,720 We can't do everything on the mission field ourselves. 501 00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:49,520 We have newsletters that we do every month. 502 00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:53,320 We can't we, we depend on Sister Emily from Brother Highness 503 00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:57,040 Church in Sidney, OH to help us with that. 504 00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:00,120 My wife does a great job writing it, getting the pictures 505 00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,400 together. And then right now we sent it to 506 00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:04,600 Sister Emily. She does it for us, sends it 507 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:06,880 back to us. And that's my job to get a sent 508 00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,960 out then. So we do that together. 509 00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:13,360 The mission video, Brother Cameron from Brother Balls 510 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:20,360 Church, he came to Africa, took the videos, took pictures and 511 00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:21,719 that is what you've seen on there. 512 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:25,320 That's real life pictures and videos from Africa. 513 00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:30,360 What we do so and then we have my translator, Bishop Jackson, 514 00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:34,080 our driver Gerald, and then Brother Wilson, Brother Cody 515 00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:38,360 Mayo, which my fields supervisor visiting us, encouraging us, 516 00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:41,400 supporting us, preaching different things for us. 517 00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:46,520 We depend on other ministers coming because they do things 518 00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:49,719 different than I do. We all have different callings, 519 00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:53,840 we have different gifts. So when Brother Brown comes, he 520 00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:55,840 operates in a spirit different than I do. 521 00:34:56,199 --> 00:34:59,960 So we come together to be effective soul winners together. 522 00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:05,720 So, and then my last scripts or verse, and I will end with this 523 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:12,400 Psalms 133 one through 3, which is, I believe the whole chapter. 524 00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:18,120 Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell 525 00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:22,240 together in unity. And I see there's an exclamation 526 00:35:22,240 --> 00:35:26,920 point after that. So let me read that again, how 527 00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:31,960 it's wrote in here. Behold how good and how pleasant 528 00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,840 it is for brethren to dwell together in unity. 529 00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:40,040 It's I'm going to exclaim it. It is like the precious ointment 530 00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:44,160 upon the head that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard 531 00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:48,640 that went down to the skirts of his garments as the dew of 532 00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:51,880 Herman and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of 533 00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:55,560 Zion. And this is key on this chapter 534 00:35:56,080 --> 00:36:01,120 for there the Lord commanded the blessing even life forevermore. 535 00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:06,400 So we, when we are unified on the local level, church with 536 00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:10,440 missions, America with world missions, and we can unify, the 537 00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:14,000 Lord's going to command blessings on us. 538 00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:17,800 When we give, it comes back to us. 539 00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:19,600 And that's not the reason we give. 540 00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:23,680 We give to advance God's Kingdom, but it's a law of the 541 00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:26,680 Bible. Give and you shall receive. 542 00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:31,880 That is that is Bible. So that is God's law. 543 00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:35,320 We don't work on the economy of this world. 544 00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:39,840 We, we, we don't work on that. It doesn't matter what president 545 00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:41,960 we have in Uganda. It don't matter what president 546 00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:44,560 we have. I, I try to teach them we, we're 547 00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:47,280 not on, we're not on that economy. 548 00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:51,520 We don't have to be in poverty. You know, if we're teaching 549 00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:53,920 tithing and offering, we're, if we're teaching these things as 550 00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:57,000 which I am, because it needs to be taught there. 551 00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:04,240 I'm like this will erode the poverty spirit if we when we 552 00:37:04,240 --> 00:37:08,720 learn how to give. So there are blessings and 553 00:37:08,720 --> 00:37:13,120 giving. So one last thing. 554 00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:15,760 I know I said that was the last thing, but I, I see I have many 555 00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:19,160 notes here and I'm I'm going to wrap up, but I see I have the 556 00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:24,960 tower of Babel. If the world can get God's 557 00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:29,600 attention for being united on one voice, what can the church 558 00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:34,200 do if we're if we're locking arms with each other for 559 00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:38,680 unified, we don't have to agree on everything, but we do agree 560 00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:42,840 on the plans of a we do agree on important things that's going to 561 00:37:43,240 --> 00:37:46,480 make us successful in the Kingdom if we work together. 562 00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:49,440 You know, I did this illustration a couple services 563 00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:52,760 ago. I had a few men come up here and 564 00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:56,280 they locked arms together. When they're locked arms 565 00:37:56,280 --> 00:38:00,640 together, I could push on them. Yeah, I can bug them. 566 00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:02,880 I can, I can, you know, disturb them. 567 00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:05,440 But I can't trip them. I, they, they won't fall. 568 00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:09,600 But if I can get one of those men, I don't care who it is. 569 00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:11,680 They can be the strongest person in church. 570 00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:16,560 If I can give them to the side, then like the devil, I we can. 571 00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:20,480 I can trick him. I can trip him up somehow if 572 00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:25,040 he's away, if he's not engaged in the church body. 573 00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:29,920 So I'll leave you with this. Please stay engaged in your 574 00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:35,320 local church body. Submit to your pastor. 575 00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:38,560 We have to submit, submit to authority. 576 00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,200 He has a pastor also. I have a pastor. 577 00:38:41,720 --> 00:38:43,520 So it don't matter how high we get. 578 00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:47,000 I don't know if you call it that, but how we for pastors, 579 00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,720 missionaries, we always have somebody we're held accountable 580 00:38:49,720 --> 00:38:53,640 to. So we always have somebody and 581 00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:58,160 you have Pastor McGee and first lady here. 582 00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:03,440 So I'm asking this as I close submit to them, see what God 583 00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:07,480 does for you. I thank everyone for coming to 584 00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:10,520 listening to me. And now I'll turn it over to to 585 00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:11,360 pastor here.
