23:01 OBVIOUSLY I DON'T SPEAK THE LANGUAGE, MANZOOR. 23:04 SO, HOW CAN OUR VIEWERS GET INVOLVED? 23:07 NUMBER ONE, I WISH THAT ALL OUR VIEWERS WOULD WRITE TO GOSPEL OUTREACH AND TELL THE 23:14 GOSPEL OUTREACH OFFICE THAT WE ARE BEHIND YOU, WE ARE PRAYING FOR YOU AND MANY OF OUR 23:20 VIEWERS HERE THEY DEFINITELY CAN ADOPT A WORKER. 23:25 IN THE NAME OF THEIR RELATIVE, SURE, OR MAYBE SOME RELATIVE HAS PASSED AWAY, WELL,IN THEIR 23:34 MEMORY THEY COULD ADOPT A WORKER AND THAT MEANS SPONSORING THAT WORKER IN THAT 23:38 COUNTRY FOR A MONTH. 23:40 NO, PER MONTH IT IS $150, RIGHT. 23:44 SO YOU DO THAT FOR A YEAR, RIGHT, OR A YEAR OR A YEAR, CONTINUING AS LONG AS GOD IS 23:50 BLESSING YOU. 23:51 RIGHT. 23:52 GOD WILL BLESS YOU IF YOU ARE INVESTING WITH HIM. 23:54 RIGHT. 23:55 HE HAS UNIQUE AND SPECIAL WAYS TO PROVIDE THOSE NEEDS. 23:58 BUT THAT'S WHAT ADOPT A WORKER 23:59 MEANS THAT EACH MONTH YOU ARE PAYING FOR A WORKER, THAT'S RIGHT. 24:03 AND FOR $6 OF YOUR INVESTMENT THEY ARE GOING TO BE SAVING A SOUL AND SO $150 FOR THE 24:12 ENTIRE OPERATION OF THAT WORKER. 24:15 AND I MUST TELL YOU GOSPEL OUTREACH HAS BECOME VERY HIGH TECH. 24:19 THEY HAVE, THEY WILL CONNECT YOU TO THE WORKER, HIS PICTURE WILL BE GIVEN TO YOU, THE NAME 24:27 OF THE VILLAGE AND THE PICTURES OF THE VILLAGE AND THEN YOU WILL RECEIVE AN 24:31 UPDATE PERIODICALLY WITH THE ACTIVITIES AND THE PICTURES: WHAT YOUR WORKER IS DOING IN 24:39 SUCH AND SUCH VILLAGE. 24:41 THAT IS EXCITING. 24:43 I TELL YOU COULD, I CAN HARDLY WAIT TO GET BACK THERE AND SEE THESE WORKERS. 24:47 YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE JET LAG OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT? 24:50 IT DOESN'T BOTHER ME, I TELL YOU. 24:52 I AM READY TO GO WHEN I REACH THERE. 24:55 SO I WOULD SAY THAT IF OUR FAMILIES WOULD GET TOGETHER AND DO A BUDGET FOR THE 25:01 FAMILY, I'M A FINANCIAL PLANNER. 25:04 I SHOW PEOPLE HOW TO DO A BUDGET AND I CAN GENERALLY HELP THEM SAVE THREE TO FOUR 25:09 HUNDRED DOLLARS EVEN WHEN THEY SAY THEY ARE ON A BARE BONES BUDGET. 25:12 SO, I SUGGEST TO THEM TO MAKE A LIST OF EVERYTHING THAT THEY SPENT THEIR MONEY ON LAST 25:18 MONTH AND TAKE A RED PEN AND REDLINE EVERYTHING YOU COULD HAVE LIVED WITHOUT. 25:24 MAKE ANOTHER LIST, TAKE A BLUE PEN THIS TIME AND ONE MORE TIME WHAT YOU COULD HAVE LIVED 25:29 WITHOUT AND THEN MAKE A THIRD LIST AND THIS TIME YOU TAKE A YELLOW PEN AND UNDERLINE 25:36 EVERYTHING YOU COULD HAVE WAITED FOR AND THEN YOU MAKE YOUR LIST. 25:42 WHEN YOU MAKE YOUR FOURTH LIST, 25:43 THAT IS YOUR REAL BUDGET FOR YOU FOR THAT MONTH, FOR THAT MONTH. 25:48 I TELL YOU MANY OF US, IF WE DID THAT, WE WOULDN'T BE IN DEBT; WE WILL PAY OFF OUR 25:54 DEBTS; WE WILL INVEST WITH GOD. 25:57 GOD WILL BLESS US IF WE BECOME WISER ABOUT INVESTING HIS BLESSINGS WITH HIM. 26:04 AND SO $150 YOU CAN EASILY SAVE AND INVEST WITH GOD EVERY MONTH. 26:13 THEN YOU WILL GET A LIVE REPORT. 26:15 WE CAN ACTUALLY GIVE A REPORT IN REAL TIME AS WELL. 26:19 AWESOME. 26:20 WE HAVE BECOME VERY HIGH TECH. 26:21 THANKS TO THE LEADERSHIP AT GOSPEL OUTREACH. 26:24 I AM SO EXCITED AND I AM NOT IN TO SO MUCH TECHNOLOGY BUT IT ALWAYS SEEMS LIKE, YOU 26:32 KNOW, I'M IN THE RIGHT PLACE. 26:35 I THINK YOU ARE ABSOULTELY IN THE RIGHT PLACE 26:37 AND MANZOOR, YOUR FATHER NAMED YOU JUST PERFECTLY. 26:41 OH,THANK YOU, I WILL THANK HIM. 26:43 MY DAD IS 98 YEARS OLD AND WHEN I JUST BECAME A PASTOR IN MY EARLIER DAYS, I WAS A 26:48 PASTOR FOR ABOUT THREE YEARS, HE TOLD ME TO GET OFF THE PAYROLL 26:56 THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE MANZOOR AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WATCHING "ADVENTURES 27:00 IN MISSIONS" AT GOSPEL OUTREACH. 27:01 I'M JULIE SANDERS-KEYMER 27:03 [CLOSING MUSIC]. 27:18 I NEED TO SPREAD THE GOSPEL HERE AT HOME. 27:20 WHERE IS THE 10/40 WINDOW ANYWAY?
