hear the testimonies from young people what's God done in their life are you excited for that let's go glorify God for this hallelujah all right praise God brothers and sisters I'm coming I'm coming to you with a brief maybe it's a story and something that you know open something up to me so I would like to share it with you guys it's about God's love and I would like to read from John 3:16 it's a very good example of what God did for us and giving his son for us and many of you may know the verse but those of you that don't I would really like to point it out for you guys it says for God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life and so this verse speaks of what God did for us by sending his son to this earth to be crucified for our sins for everything that we've done so that we may receive eternal life and I would like to share a short story about how how in this story it revealed to me what what really happened through what through what God did by sending his son to this earth for us so in this story it's about a boy and a dad and the boy you know he's like 13 14 years old 12 13 14 and he's a troublemaker he you know he goes to school he's always ending up getting in trouble his teachers are giving calls home you know he gets in trouble at home he gets in trouble you know when they're out with the family and his dad tries doing everything he can to keep his son together to keep him to keep him you know obedient he he takes him out to baseball games he tries to you know even though his sons so bad his his father tries to do everything he can to try to make his son feel like his that the father loves his son so he you know even though his son so bad the father does extra to make sure that his son feels the love from him but there was this one day that the son was actually up in his room and he was playing with a baseball he knows that his dad doesn't doesn't like him playing with the baseball so he you know he's playing with it his dad's downstairs and out of nowhere you hear a window shatter so what happened was the son was playing with the baseball and the ball flew out the window and he knew that his dad was heard it and that he was going to get in trouble for that so as that was coming up the stairs and the son heard and he was taking off his belt you know many I'm sure a lot of Slavic people know and I'm sure Americans grew up with this kind of you know tradition or but his dad was ready to you know discipline him and he takes off his bell and he he walks into the room and the son sitting there he's ready for it because he knows it's coming he did something bad and the dad takes off the Bell and gives it to his son and his son's son sons holding the Bell and he's wondering you know what what am I supposed to do with this belt and is that and his dad says you know he takes off his shirt and he you know he bends over and he tells his son to hit him on the back and his son's wondering like you know why is my dad you're asking me to hit him I'm the one that did wrong I'm the one that threw the baseball at the window I'm the one that made you know I don't understa Spain's me why why is it I'm I'm the one supposed to be you know hitting him so you know that says no just you know just do it hit me seven times and and the sons you know he's he's confused he doesn't know you know why is that doing this and he you know he had some lightly one time and the dads like no you got no harder you know hit me harder and and he gets him another time and you know by the third time this the Sun starts to shake he's wondering like why why why is my dad making me hit him I don't understand why is this happening and you know the third time the fourth time and as he hits him the Sun starts to break break out and cry and he's wondering why in the world is my dad asking me to hit him if I'm the one that's at fault and at the end of this his son's crying dad stands up and he and he looks over at him sits down next to him and he says son I want through this I want to explain something to you what Jesus did for each and every one of us on the cross is exactly what I portrayed here a lot of the times none of us are worthy none of us are good enough to receive that grace and mercy none of us are good enough to receive that kind of love from somebody you know we we are always up to no good we are always doing something that we aren't supposed to do any some of us better than others but nonetheless you know we are all up to no good because of our nature so so the he's telling his son that this is what Jesus did because because basically I'm sorry all right so you know the son the son is wondering why did dad have me hit him so the same thing Jesus did the son was disobedient he wasn't he wasn't being obedient to his father he was doing wrong things and then his father father took the punishment for what the son did and Jesus did that for each and every one of us so in what what happened in this story later on is the father noticed that after this after he did this with his son the son actually started to not be as you know as much of a troublemaker he wasn't as bad at school he wasn't as bad at home and you know everywhere and everything that he did and the father asked him you know what what is it that changed and he said you know what I don't you know I don't want I don't ever want to do anything wrong because I don't want to hurt you he he what he realized is that is that what he even though he was bad he wasn't doing it he wasn't trying to be good because he was trying to follow his dad's rules or he was trying to follow certain commands that his father gave them now he is being good because he doesn't want to hurt his father he doesn't want his father to feel pain for the wrong things that he's doing so because of that he has become he has begun to do good so and that's what Jesus did for each and every one of us his love that got God's love for us is that he sent His Son that even though each and every one of us you know do not deserve to be forgiven we do not deserve you know to and to receive this grace and mercy but he sent his son because he loves each and every one of us enough and what I'm trying to message and I'm trying to speak to you guys tonight is that we should have the same love towards him not because we want you know to follow the rules or we want to you know follow his commands but because our relationship and our love for Jesus is so strong that this is the reason why we want we want to obey Him this is the reason why we want to build our relationship with him this is the reason that we want to experience him at a greater level because because we love him and we do not want to hurt him so when you know when we go about our days and doing stuff not not to think oh I'm because I'm a Christian I can't do this I can't do that I can't do this you know but to think of it as a relationship you don't want to hurt him through your actions you don't want to you know you want to because you love him you want to obey Him and that's that's the message that I have on my heart for you guys today as you know who the next please come Corina please we are we excited to hear your testimony I was looking that direction thank you sister I wanted to speak today about being freed the Lord our God he frees us from sin and from the lives that we would have if we stayed in this world but one of the things that we don't think about is being freed from feelings from sadness from depression from fear it these are things that were not made with the Lord didn't make us scared he didn't make us always sad he wants us to be joyful just like him I have a testimony because I actually had this in my life I hold on held on to something for so long that it started to become part of my daily life that I would always think about it and it was always there it was simply taking over my happiness sometimes even and I thought to myself why do I keep holding on to this it's not healthy it's not helping me grow in any way it's actually keeping me from growing in my life with Christ so on Monday we usually have church prayers here I came to the Lord and I said that I give this to you this is a burden that has been on me and I give this to you Lord and he just took it away and it's a freedom that you can't be explained because it's a happiness it's peace the only thing I can think of being close to is you know when you have like an assignment or you have something that you have to do and it's on there you have a timeline to get it done by and you keep putting it off and once that thing is finally done you're free you're free from that one let's say task that you had to do and that's basically the closest thing but after prayer that Monday a sister she actually came up to me and she goes you're happy I said yes I'm very happy the Lord has freed me and inside I knew this was because the Lord has radiated that love out of me that mercy that he has shown me that he can show each and every one of us so if anybody here is holding on to anything any sadness or a burden if you haven't forgiven somebody that can also hold you back just give it to God he'll for you your heart will be at peace and you will radiate happiness as I did that one one day thank you [Applause] good evening my name is Paul praise Jesus and I'd like to share a short story with you and it starts like this in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth these are the first verses the first verse in the Bible and after that you know that he created Adam and Eve most of you know the story I'm not going to read the whole thing and then we know what happened after that Adam and Eve they sinned they ate from the forbidden fruit and then after they sinned we remember that they hid from God they hid hid away from him and I read the verse here then the men and his wife heard the sound of the Lord as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden but the Lord God called to them where are you we know that when they sinned they made themselves clothing from leaves because they sinned and they realized that they're sinful and they made these clothes from leaves for themselves and then when God showed up apparently I'd like to believe that God was fellowshipping with him he had a fellowship with him every day they were talking to him they had fellowship with him every day but after they sinned they got scared and they hid away and the big question that God asks every one of us today he asks you where are you he asked me he asked me where are you where are you today and the interesting thing that we tend to do in our lives is we tend to make these clothing out of leaves for ourselves the Bible calls it that our righteousness is like a dirty rag we tend to want to somehow make ourselves better by our own righteousness just somehow clean up our own life before we approach our God but today he just asks you where are you today he wants to restore that relationship that people had in the garden with him and then we know for in in this story that God made them clothing from skin and blood had to be shed to make this clothing and this is the place where it talks about Jesus that our righteousness is not what we can do it is Jesus's blood that can sanctify you and purify you and he asks every one of you today where are you today he just wants you to come to him as you are so he can clothe you in his own righteousness he can wash you with his blood and then you can be born again and when you're boarding again then you become you start to grow in him we know that there's not much expected from little babies sometimes we think we're gonna become perfect right away but we're just little babies the first step is to be born and from that you are he will lead you and grow you and you will improve every time as he speaks to you so again he asks you today where are you today where are you he wants to meet with you and save you god bless you amen I hope everybody's having a good evening I want to call the worship team up here and while they're coming up here our Usher's are gonna hand out these little welcome cards we have for you on the back they have a little short place you can fill out your information and any prayer requests and comments you have we ask that you fill them out let us know and we want to tell you we're thankful for all the first-time guests everybody who showed up today that you came to participate in this English service and praise God tonight and if you could fill it out and place the pens and the cards under the seats would appreciate it thank you [Music] [Music] everybody get up and say [Music] open the floodgates of [Music] we see the winds of your spirit now the Harvey [Music] we feel the wind [Music] it's a [Music] Oh [Music] it's [Music] through the rain [Music] we want to see you show us your glory we want to know [Music] show us your glory [Music] show us your glory [Music] open the gates of [Music] [Music] it's [Music] hello praise God all right so my brother-in-law told me that uh if I have a short sermon to say then just feed him to me so I hope you guys are hungry all right so I want to speak about how Jesus acted in my life not in age and in each and every one of your lives and what he did for us and so what I found neat first off when I first came when I first started realizing about Jesus was how great the by the Bible was and so once you open it you start reading it you know I had to debate with Muslim kook classmate he was a Muslim classmate he kept trying to debunk my religion he kept trying to debunk Jesus in the Bible and so me and him always had a debate and that's what group grew me stronger and I told him every single week I'll say alright come back to me with something to prove that the Bible isn't true and he's like oh I got you you know he's a college student loves research who'd sit at their research research oh I'm gonna prove him wrong he's a strong Muslim and so he'd come back and we've debate debate for a little bit and he's still he's still couldn't find anything else like our sweet so I want to read about a passage from isaiah 53:5 real quick he was a prophet just to show how great the Bible is alright 53:5 453 4 surely this is written 700 years before before Jesus has come on - come on to earth surely he took up our pain and before and bore our suffering yet we considered him punished by God stricken by him and afflicted but he was pierced for our transgressions he was crushed for our iniquities the punishment that brought us peace was on him and by his wounds we are healed amen brothers sisters and so this was written 700 years before and that's just fascinating me that blew in my mind and I was just saying man how great is our God and what he done in our lives so for each and every single one he took up he for each and every single one of us he took our pain he took up our suffering on that cross and he died for our sins and he's not just a dead god he's alive still in each and every one of our lives and so jesus heals he saves he rescues and just just by a show of hands how here have been have been healed by Jesus have an actual testimony you see this it's not just it's not just a one case scenario it's not just a quit incidence each and every single one of you guys you guys can ask around ask about uh ask about what Jesus did in their hearts in their lives and they'll tell you that Jesus Saves and even in my aunt she do Jesus jesus healed cancer Jesus he freed freed from our possession of devil possession and he cast out demons and this happens not not back then for 2,000 years ago this happens now and just wanted to talk about how Jesus transformed my life to whenever I was growing up you know growing up in a Christian family it was I still wanted to see what the world was like compared to compared to being raised as a Christian and the Lord just transformed me personally and uh one thing I always thought was I'm I'm too far gone I can't be buried I can't be brought back I'm too much of a sinner there's too much I have too much burden on me but no Jesus said I took it up on the cross for you so anybody here that's what thinking I'm too far gone I have a tattoo I did this I did that it doesn't matter Jesus will take it so Jesus died for that on the cross for each and every single one of us and so Jesus started transforming my life and so Jesus transformed my life and he started working in us and then that's when you start seeing on seeing his healings his his healings and everything that he does in your life and so don't let anybody tell you you're beyond saving don't don't be scared and they'll be looking around be like oh man people gonna charge me oh man though they're so holy but I'm not no no we're all just like you were all sinners and we were all covered by the grace of God and for the sins that Jesus died for us in Jesus name I pray amen hi my name is David I really didn't want to share my testimony today and especially not in this church but there's my will and then there's God's will so God put on my heart to share something about my birthday I do not look forward to my birthday it is one of the worst days of my ear unfortunately over the last 20-something years we got into the routine as a family of just a regular birthday dinner you know celebrating doing something with the family but I only have two good birth is not like two favorite birthdays only two good birthdays that I remember and one was when I was in elementary school my parents let me skip school and they bought me my first bike and the second one I'll tell you later but the rest of them they weren't anything special I can't remember what I got I can't remember it's just family dinner I didn't really do anything special with friends and anytime I tried to do something special with friends it didn't work out I felt the band in I felt unloved even I got beat up one year by people I called friends you know yeah and that's what they said you know and I went to bed crying that night and I've never looked forward to my birthday and last year was particularly different or difficult last year for some reason it was the same old thing same family dinner I didn't do anything special with friends and it just nagged away at me for some reason I had this depression come over me and this this feeling that would just not leave me and I had this voice in my head saying why are you so nice to everybody why do you have to be there for everybody nobody's there for you nobody cares about you why do you have to be so nice and it just ate away at me and I'm like Lord this feeling does not belong inside of me I'm like what is this and I rebuked and I said no this is this is not I'm gonna keep on doing what I do but four weeks two weeks I kept on going on and on and I knew people loved for me I knew people cared about me but it's just it just kept on eating away at me for some reason and then I sat down and prayed and you I do this thing every once in a while when something is continuing and nagging at me and I've rebuked it and I've tried you know cast it out I ask God what are you trying to show me and then I I note that Ana prayed and he said this is my love my love is not easy my not my love does not for those who love you back it is for those who will forget you they will abandon you they will curse you my love is John 3:16 that is my love my love is sending my son now for the people who would follow him but for the people who would crucify him for the people that would spit on him for the people who would stab him that is my love he showed me this eyeballed I got on my knees and I cried I thank God because this is love not not for those around me not my family not for those people who I look to I made that mistake where I was looking for those people around me to fill me with this love that could only come from God and something special happened not feeling went away and then the following year same thing not nothing different but it was different we had this same family different same family dinner but it was filled with love you know later on that evening I had two friends come by and they made me feel special they had a steak dinner for me they went out of their way to make me feel special and they'll never know what that truly meant to me but that was because I found God's love first and the mistake I was making and I feel like so many people do is looking to somebody else for a love that only comes from God that only comes from the cross that only comes from Jesus you will not find that love looking to your spouse your boyfriend your girlfriend your mom or dad or your best friend only the love of God will truly fill you like you are meant to be filled so if you are looking for that if you have that feeling turn to God amen so beautiful to be here we have a special guest today Sam he's a musician writer and he's not alone he was his wife Oksana we just they just got married what is that about three weeks two weeks two months Wow Wow he smell garden so give it up for Sam for glory of God good evening I was sitting down I was thinking how am I gonna begin what am I gonna start with and I thought it came to me that we live in a world with much chaos and confusion and I want to start by saying peace be with you any if you accept it would you say Amen about two years ago God inspired me to write a song and it's based on my experience and if we have any people here who in their lives made any mistakes would you raise your hands so so pretty much if you're not raising your hands you're either too relaxed or you're you're lying but the song I want to sing about two years ago I had a habit of going to sleep with a lot of shame I would lie down in my bed and I'd be like these thoughts would be running in my head and at one point my friend we were walking together and happens to be he happens to be a prophet and a prophet is somebody that God uses to speak to you and and we were just walking he says hey when you go to sleep don't judge yourself too harshly ok how would you know but at that moment a piece of scripture was reminded in my mind and it sits in the Book of Jeremiah or God is talking to his people and he says I know the thoughts I have of you thoughts of good thoughts to give you a future thoughts of hope and thoughts to prosper you those are the thoughts of God and I have these the scripture and in my mind and I feel inspired to write a song and I worked on something a little bit but then the last month I couldn't finish it these words didn't go with a strong theme strong topic these lyrics didn't go in I was at a conference in a pastor he was reading a piece of Scripture he read the scripture and then then we went into prayer and during the prayer God took all these thoughts and he took his scripture and he and he finished a song and I want to read the scripture with you guys it's gonna be on the screen there's gonna be baby stuff John Jonah's gonna be chapter 1 verse 12 and 13 but as many as received him to them he gave the right to become children of God even to those who believed in his name who were born not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor the will of man but of God so pretty much everyone who accepts Jesus as the Lord and Savior they have a right to be called children of God amen and pretty much this song is talking about I will stand I will stand because I'm a child of God if you guys get the melody and you guys see the lyrics on the screen please sing along when I go to sleep just like [Music] Jujuy with down [Music] [Music] and you will stand in the daylight you will stand in the night you will stand on the sacrifice of Jesus Christ you will not be defeated [Music] those not of the will of man have the right to stand and be a child we will stand in the daylight we will stand in nine we will stand on the sacrifice of Jesus Christ we will not be defeated [Music] dog looks have now been washed our field is gone because Jesus had stepped into the fight came out a victorious now were chosen a reason we're seated in a heavenly place cos Jesus had stepped into the fight came out of the Tauri how much I love God and I will stand in the daylight I will save his night and I will step on the sacrifice of Jesus Christ I will not be defeated or to be cold [Music] [Music] a man praise the Lord thank you thank you Sam glory to God in a conclusion all night with the word of encouragement our senior pastor pastor Nicolae praise God what a privilege to be a child of God his son and daughters of God what is a great privilege before I share the word I wanna share my testimony when I was almost 23 living in Russia in Moscow very very artistic country communist country but the Word of God reached my heart and I remember when I opened my heart before God he came in and totally changed my life after that Sunday I came to work and people look at me they couldn't recognize me no more bad words not smoking not drinking totally new person what's happened to you I said Jesus saved me and from that moment I remember first testimony in my workplace I never been ashamed of Jesus Christ as my personal Savior hallelujah as I said this is the great privilege to be called to be and be called the son like we said child of God and I'd like to share and then I invite you for prayer one story about one child of the father well-known story well-known story about prodigal son unfortunately some people became lost somehow they live you know when Jesus was born heaven rejoicing and they said about him as a prince of peace I they said his name will be that means when Jesus stepped in a new life maybe its total mess but when Jesus step in in your life not because but because Jesus praise God and you know that story when one son said to his father I am living goodbye give me my money give my inheritance father was alive but he asked his portion give me money and a father didn't rebuke him and son left very far from the beautiful house and became a sinner he spent money is crazy he drank scene as a water but finally he spent all his money he spent all and he became even hungry no place to stay not even money for food and then let's read this eight verses since we started Luke 15 verse 17 and when he came to himself he said how many of my father's have bread enough and to spare and I perish with hunger I will raise arise and go to my father and will say unto him father I have sinned against heaven and before thee and I'm no more worthy to be called thy son make me is one of thy hired servants and he arose and came to his father but when he was yet a great way off his father saw him and had compassion and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him and the son said unto him father I have sinned against heaven in thy sight and I am no more worthy to be called thy son but the father said to his servants bring forth forth the best robe and put it on him and put ring on his hand and shoes on his feet and bring either the fatted calf and kill it and let us eat and be merry for this my son and is alive again he was lost and is found and they began to be merry praise God what's happened why this father act like this I wouldn't ask each of you to have an answer why because father could say okay so I'm coming come here I want to talk to you you put shame on me you did so much bad things to me even to my home and pieces my name instead we see the Sun was coming to his father closer and closer his father look and recognize his son was coming back history running and he ran to his son and star kissing him you know he smelled bad right after that lifestyle smell is bad but father didn't care he came hug him and kiss him Bible said he that moment the son said I'm not worthy I'm not worthy to be called your son please I seen I have seen it against you against heaven the father didn't talk to him anymore he starts telling his servants preme the best rope you know what's the best rope today the best chute that's best suit maybe two thousand dollars maybe more shoes maybe thousand dollars more and let have a celebration why because my son was lost and now he's found he was dead why because it's so far so far from the father never talked to the father he talked to me so close why the father act like this can you answer it why father act like it's hard to comprehend but answer is very simple two brothers before me and sister they already explained only one explanation if it's your relative maybe did something if you really love your relative if you really really love him you will willing to forgive him only one reason I don't want to lose you you so dear for me I'd like that you be with me that word came from to his dear dear son Jesus it was love radiating from face of Jesus because he was preaching among sinful man he wasn't ashamed

your seats no matter where you are you know as you heard many of people saying talking about you know how they had burdens they had sorrows they were going through many things of guilt and shame and the devil himself he wants you to feel those things he wants you to feel convicted he wants you to feel like you're worthless he wants you to feel like you're not worthy of receiving Jesus and I just want to let you know even though you may have not came up to the altar even though you may have not felt something you know that you can say is God's love God's power I encourage each and every one of you to take what you heard here to take what you receive take it home with you even now even while we will be singing praises while we will be singing worship songs to God and just open your heart just allow Him with all your heart because it takes your will and God's will too for you to receive he he will not pour into you unless you are willing to receive what he has for you so I encourage each and every one of us even though we're even we may be saved many of us may be safe but just to allow Jesus to touch each and every one of our hearts as we sing praises to his name just open your hearts open open your mouths and just free yourself allow yourself to worship God allow yourself to worship Jesus for what he did for you even though you are saved just open your mouths raise your hands just freely worship God this is a place no one's being persecuted no one's no one's being being attacked or or condemned here we can all worship God and the more freely we do it the more he will be able to pour into us the more he will be able to give us what we need the more he will be able to free us from the yoke of bondage the more he will be able to break the chains of the devil and each and every one of our lives the more the more those sorrows that we thought would never be broken the burdens that we thought we'd never be free from those burdens will be taken from you tonight even though you are saved even though you've been saved 20 years ago we still have troubles we still have burdens and God wants to free each and every one of you tonight and whatever state you are in regardless of whether you are saved or not Jesus is for you for you and for each and every one of us and he wants you to serve him with all your heart he wants you to pray he wants you to worship and praise His name in his house let's give all the glory to God tonight we are the nation we are the nation that will sing praises to his name allow God to touch your heart tonight open your heart to him

part of you that needs deliverance from from whatever it is you are going through tonight from whatever has been holding you back or whatever has been making you feel shame for whatever has been making you feel guilt that is not from God that is only the devil that makes you feel this way and I encourage each and every one of you to allow Jesus to take that away from you it does not belong to you this is meant for you to put it at Jesus's feet and by his blood you will be free from whatever it is whatever healing you need maybe it's inner healing maybe it's something that is in your heart maybe it's something that is bothering you and you just can't let go of maybe it's unforgiveness whatever it is just allow Jesus to touch you allow him to just moving your heart and allow him to take that away from you Jesus we ask you that whoever is in this place that has opened their heart to you that has opened their hearts to allow you to work in their life I pray in your mighty name that you touch those people tonight that you move in those people's lives and that they've realized your power your glory in your grace and mercy in their life tonight and so that they leave here and they understand your glory and your radiance the radiance of your grace God in their life so they realize that it is you that it is through your power that they were receiving what they are receiving and I pray that whoever it is in this place that is in need of it that they open their heart that they open their heart to it I know there is someone in here that is in need of God's grace and mercy in their life and they're holding back they're holding back they're not allowing him to speak into their life they're not allowing them to speak their life and I asked whoever that is to just open your heart and allow God to to speak truth into your life allow him to work in your life allow him to move in your life and like I already said you may be saved then you may think everything is good but I guarantee you there's still stuff that we all go through even though we are saved the devil does not sleep he is always active he is always going around it says the Bible says he is like a roaring lion and he tries to derail us off of our path he tries to keep us from doing what we need to be doing on this earth from spreading in the love for spreading joy from spreading peace and if you were not able to do that because something is holding you back just open your heart to him let him take that from you you can do it in your seats just I prayed that you do not leave here without understanding the power of this grace the power of this mercy the power of this love the love of Jesus for each and every one of us so that when we go home that we allow him to work in us we allow him to speak in to us and we don't put that voice down but we allow that voice to speak to us and so that we can build a relationship and we can move in them in that direction but do not hold back you're not hold back thank you Jesus for everything you have done tonight Jesus you thank you for everything you thank you for speaking to your people thank you for allowing us to praise and worship you know

for giving me this opportunity this morning around 5 a.m. we got up from Miami we've been driving to North Port and from there we started driving to here and thank God we were able to get here before I you know the service is over thank you so much for this time by God's grace I was born and raised in a Christian home in the southern part of India I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior when I was a small boy when I was studying in college the Lord called me for full-time ministry I obeyed the Lord went to Bible schools in India did my undergraduate and graduate studies started teaching and preaching the Word of God last 40 years I've been in Christian ministry last night around 18 years we've been training missionaries in India and you know in a country like India it's not easy to run a Christian mission like ours India has 1.2 billion people 800 million people they worship everything they worship Sun Moon stars animals and birds they make idols out of wood stone silver gold and worship them yeah you know the Bible says Satan has blinded their hearts so that they cannot see the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ then I around 145 million Muslims in India other religions like Buddhism Jainism Sikhism and so on Christians are about 3% only and majority among Christians are Catholics and Orthodox so we need to preach the gospel not only to the non-christians but also to the nominal Christians so you know Jesus while he was all desert he taught his disciples you know to pray for many things but I would say mainly for three things he said to pray for the Peace of Jerusalem and this is the time we need to pray more for the Peace of Jerusalem than any other time secondly Jesus taught his disciples to pray that you may not enter into temptation so this is the time we need to pray more so that you and I not only we even our younger generation our children may not end into temptation and the third thing finally I would like to say jesus said the harvest is plenteous but the laborers are few pray that the lord of the house may send forth laborers into his field you know we may not like the word labor labor but we covered the word we use the word missionary you know today while singing you mean repeating the chorus again and again every nation every soul and well pastor was preaching we preached Jesus Christ I like to quote from Paul we preach Christ and him crucified you know people in India especially the Hindu dominated parties in power now and they don't like any Christian mission or even including Islamic mission of the don't like they don't like any Hindus to become Christian I mean Christians but they like he you know Christians or Islam to become Hindus because 800 million they are not satisfied with those people they want everybody in India they say India is meant for Hindus all Indians shall be Hindus but it's not going to happen you know we will never bow down before and either we worship our listen and living Lord Jesus Christ and we want to proclaim the good news of Jesus in India before the door is closed before darkness takes place we do not know how long we will have the freedom to preach the gospel in India but before the door is closed before darkness takes place we want to do the maximum to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ in India brothers and sisters is not easy lot of hardship sufferings sacrifice sometimes disappointments discouragements but never give up God is always good he is good all the time and thank you so much for this time I encourage you to please watch that small video that would speak to you thousand times better than I speak and also I encourage you in order to Train one missionary it cost $100 not for one day for one month $100 for one month to train on missionary maybe I know so many young people maybe you go to school but those who are working have a job maybe 10 people come forward to sponsor on missionary in the missionary student in India for training one month I appreciate thank you let's do what we can do for the spread of the gospel of Jesus Christ only your life it will soon be gone only what is done for Jesus Christ will remain slough boug god bless you [Music] my name is Wirt Cushman for a number of years we first met in our conversations he explained the ministry that God had called him to which was this ministry of equipping men and women for the gospel ministry in India and a number of different conversations he invited me to go over into this seminary and the Bible College then I went over to India I purposed not only to be involved in the ministry which is a great ministry of Bible teaching in the seminary but also I wanted to get a feel for the country dr. breguet see he warned me on any number of occasions that we had to be careful because as a foreigner I was not free to publicly talk about my faith when I visited the school it was like a light shining on it Hill it was a light shining in a very dark place in the context of the Hinduism in the context of so many people without faith here is a group of men and women with dedication to the Word of God who have a very high priority of studying the Word of God with with high quality teachers I talked to the students who would go out and weekends he involved in ministries not large ministries is we would think of but half a dozen people who are a dozen people it just made this impression upon me that this is accomplished so much with as I had time to talk with the professors and the students one of the things that I was impressed with was their commitment to a quality education at the time I was actually teaching at Moody Bible Institute myself and I really felt like the quality of education that was being offered there was I would say to you that there will be no better place for more to be accomplished with hey my name's Adam I'm a campus pastor Fox Valley Church Pingree Grove and I wanted to come before you today and let you know of a ministry opportunity agape Indian ministries Kerala Theological Seminary I've actually had the opportunity to go down there work with dr. Varughese get a chance to meet the professors in the students and I can't think of a more strategic gospel ministry reaching right into India with the gospel of Jesus Christ my wife and I have been supporters we will continue to be contributors and I hope you'd consider doing that as well save some time thank you very much we're gonna have time for fellowship out there grab some cup of coffee grab a cookie talk to you know our friends our pastor dr. from India who has a great ministry has a big heart for the Indian people and what can we do you know maybe it's financial support maybe it's prayer support or maybe God is calling you to go to India to be a missionary to the you know and we will do everything possible to that we could support that team as well so may God bless you let us all rise pray that God would bless each one of us til next time just a reminder youth next week and again we will see all of you and hopefully more of you the next month when we get it together let us pray Heavenly Father we thank you for this wonderful time that we can come together as one family Lord we thank you for everything that we have heard all the testimonies would you have you've been doing in the young people's lives Lord we ask you for your blessing but we ask you for the blessing that we're gonna have the food out there the fellowship but I ask you thank you for a friends from India you know their ministry Lord you know their needs and what they need Lord we ask you and we bring their requests upon our hands before you and let us not just be in words but actually in action as well whatever they need Lord Lord we ask you to bless them and let us be partakers of their ministry because we are one family and that is in Jesus Christ what I thank you for everybody that is here and everyone and if someone's here still that who needs to know you personally let him find somebody to talk to let him find - to pray together that you know you would become their Lord and Savior in their life lord I thank you for everything that you have done we pray this in Jesus name Amen thank you guys
