WHO ARE WORKING IN 00:44 THE 10/40 WINDOW. 00:46 THAT HUGE HUGE RECTANGLE FROM WEST AFRICA ALL THE 00:49 WAY THROUGH INDIA AND PAKISTAN AND CHINA AND THE 00:52 PHILIPPINES AND CAMBODIA AND THAILAND. 00:54 FROM 10 TO 40 DEGREES NORTH OF THE EQUATOR. 00:57 THAT'S WHERE OUR EMPHASIS IS HERE AT GOSPEL OUTREACH 00:59 TO SHARE JESUS. 01:01 AND TOGETHER WE'RE PARTNERING TOGETHER 01:03 BECAUSE WE CAN'T DO THIS ALONE. 01:05 GOD HAS CALLED EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US IN THE 01:07 GREAT COMMISSION TO GO. 01:08 THAT'S GO FOR GOSPEL OUTREACH. 01:12 AND LOOK IN YOUR BIBLE. 01:13 GOD TELLS EVERYBODY IN THE BIBLE MANY TIMES. 01:16 HE TOLD MOSES TO GO AND HE IS TELLING US TO GO AND 01:19 ASKING US TO DO THAT. 01:21 SO TALKING ABOUT PARTNERING WE ARE HAPPY TO 01:23 BE PARTNERING WITH A FANTASTIC FAMILY WHO HAS 01:26 BEEN INVOLVED WITH SHARING JESUS AROUND THE WORLD AS 01:29 WELL. 01:30 AND WE ARE JUST HAPPY TO HAVE HERE ON THE SET RUDY 01:33 AND LAVONNE MELASHENKO. 01:34 AND YOU TWO ARE HERE AT GOSPEL OUTREACH AND WE'RE 01:37 SO GLAD THAT YOU ARE HERE WITH US. 01:39 IT'S A PLEASURE TO BE HERE TODAY. 01:41 THANK YOU. 01:41 WELL WELCOME TO BOTH OF YOU. 01:42 SO RUDY AND LAVONNE IF YOU CAN MAYBE SHARE WITH OUR 01:45 VIEWERS HOW WE HAVE KIND OF PARTNERED TOGETHER WITH 01:48 YOU RUDY AND YOUR BROTHER AND SISTER-IN-LAW AND GIVE 01:51 US A LITTLE HISTORY ABOUT AND TELL THE VIEWERS WHAT 01:53 YOU'RE DOING HERE WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH. 01:55 WELL SOME OF YOU MIGHT KNOW THAT JOEDY AND JUDY 01:58 HAVE BEEN INVOLVED WITH THE QUIET HOUR FOR SOME 02:02 YEARS. 02:03 AND RECENTLY THEY DECIDED TO COME AND GET ON BOARD 02:07 WITH YOU FOLK IN REGARDS TO YOUR MINISTRY. 02:10 AND AS A FAMILY WE HAVE SUNG TOGETHER FOR 50 YEARS 02:14 AND I'M PART OF THE SINGING TEAM WITH JOEDY 02:18 AND WE'VE DECIDED TO COME ON BOARD AND DO WHAT WE 02:20 CAN TO SING PRAISES TO GOD AT THE MEETINGS THAT WE 02:25 WILL BE HAVING WITH GO AND WE'RE THERE TO JUST SHARE 02:30 WITH PEOPLE OUR MUSIC AND BRING THEM CLOSER TO 02:34 CHRIST THROUGH THAT MINISTRY. 02:36 SO YOU FOLKS THEN VISIT CHURCHES AND YOU'RE HAVING 02:39 CONCERTS. 02:39 IS THAT HOW IT WORKS? 02:41 YES. 02:42 AND JOEDY IS PRETTY MUCH IN CHARGE OF THAT. 02:43 AND WE'LL PROBABLY GO INTO A CHURCH AND SHARE WHAT GO 02:49 IS DOING AND THEN HAVE A CONCERT AND JUST HOPEFULLY 02:54 BRING PEOPLE CLOSER TO CHRIST THROUGH OUR MUSIC 02:56 MINISTRY AND LET THEM KNOW ABOUT WHAT GO IS DOING. 03:00 AND TO BE HONEST WITH YOU I'M FAIRLY NEW AT LEARNING 03:04 ABOUT YOUR MINISTRY AS WELL. 03:05 IT'S A MINISTRY I HADN'T HEARD OF BEFORE UNTIL 03:09 JOEDY, RECENTLY WITHIN THE LAST MONTH OR SO, TOLD ME 03:12 ALL ABOUT IT AND IT'S KIND OF EXCITING. 03:13 AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE TO DO A COUPLE OF CONCERTS 03:16 THIS WEEKEND AND START SHARING THE GOOD NEWS 03:19 ABOUT GO AND OF CHRIST AND HOW WE CAN TOUCH PEOPLE IN 03:23 THESE AREAS THAT ARE UNREACHED IN THE PAST. 03:25 WELL AND THAT'S HOW IT IS WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH AND 03:28 WITH ANYTHING. 03:29 WHEN YOU'RE EXCITED ABOUT SOMETHING, RIGHT LAVONNE, 03:30 WHEN YOU FIND SOMETHING THAT'S LIKE A GREAT 03:32 SWEATER OR SOMETHING YOU WANT TO TELL A GIRLFRIEND 03:34 ABOUT. 03:35 AND THAT'S HOW IT IS, HOW WE FEEL HERE AT GOSPEL 03:37 OUTREACH ABOUT SHARING WHAT WE'RE DOING . 03:39 AND WORD OF MOUTH IS HUGE, IT'S HUGE ABOUT SHARING 03:43 THAT. 03:44 SO BASICALLY WHAT I'M HEARING FROM YOU ARE YOU, 03:46 ARE YOU TWO CONSIDERED THEIR BACKUP SINGERS OR 03:48 HOW IS THIS? 03:49 WELL PRETTY MUCH YES. 03:50 JOEDY, WELL WE TEAM. 03:52 YOU KNOW OUR FAMILY GREW UP SINGING TIGHT HARMONIES 03:56 AND YOU KNOW I SING IN OTHER GROUPS YOU KNOW IN 03:59 CHURCH AND IT'S AMAZING HOW WHEN WE GET TOGETHER 04:02 AS A FAMILY IT'S JUST LIKE A HAND IN GLOVE. 04:05 WE JUST KNOW EXACTLY WHAT PART. 04:07 YOU KNOW AFTER YOU'VE SUNG TOGETHER FOR SO MANY YEARS 04:11 IT JUST KIND OF COMES NATURALLY TO SING. 04:13 I CAN'T READ A NOTE OF MUSIC. 04:14 JOEDY DOES ALL THE MUSIC. 04:17 AND I WILL NEVER FORGET, MY MOM WHEN WE WERE JUST 04:19 LITTLE KIDS SINGING RIGHT INTO MY EAR THE SONGS AND 04:22 THE PARTS THAT WE NEEDED TO LEARN AND OVER AND OVER 04:25 AND OVER AGAIN. 04:26 AND THAT'S STILL KIND OF EMBEDDED IN MY MIND HOW TO 04:29 LEARN MUSIC. 04:30 IF I HEAR IT I CAN KIND OF PICK UP ON IT AND SING THE 04:33 PART. 04:34 BUT IN SO FAR AS MUSICAL TRAINING AND THEORY AND 04:39 STUFF I HAVE VERY LITTLE OF THAT. 04:40 BUT YOU KNOW I HAVE AN EAR FOR IT AND WE ENJOY 04:44 SINGING TOGETHER YOU KNOW. 04:45 WHEN WE SANG TOGETHER AND PRAYED TOGETHER AND PLAYED 04:48 TOGETHER AS KIDS IT BROUGHT US REALLY CLOSE AS 04:52 A FAMILY. 04:53 AND THAT'S EVEN WHY TODAY WE'RE SINGING TOGETHER. 04:55 WELL HE'S BEEN SINGING LIKE 60 YEARS TOGETHER. 04:58 THAT'S TRUE MORE THAN THAT, SINCE YOU WERE BORN 05:01 PRACTICALLY. 05:02 YES, LITTLE KIDS. 05:04 AND THAT'S, THAT'S THE NEAT THING OF WHEN YOU 05:06 HEAR A FAMILY LIKE THAT LIKE YOUR FAMILY IS THAT 05:09 YOU KNOW IT'S IN THE DNA YOU KNOW. 05:11 ITS IN YOUR GENES. 05:12 AND SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE HEARD ABOUT YOUR FAMILY 05:16 AND THE LEADERSHIP OF YOUR PARENTS. 05:18 TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOUR PARENTS AND WHAT WERE 05:22 THEY LIKE GROWING UP . 05:24 WELL I WOULD HAVE TO SAY OUR HOME WAS VERY MUCH 05:26 LIKE THE LEAVE IT TO BEAVER FAMILY. 05:28 THERE WAS THE CLEAVER FAMILY WHICH WAS AN IDEAL 05:31 FAMILY ON THE TELEVISION SHOWS IN THE 50'S AND 05:34 60'S. 05:35 I NEVER REMEMBER MY FOLKS YOU KNOW ARGUING OR HAVING 05:41 CONTENTIOUS SITUATIONS IN THE HOME. 05:43 IT WAS JUST A VERY LOVING, SUPPORTIVE, ENCOURAGING 05:49 FAMILY. 05:50 YOU KNOW WE FIVE KIDS, I'M A FORMER TEACHER OF 35 05:56 YEARS TEACHING FIFTH AND SIXTH GRADE AND I DON'T 06:00 CARE HOW NICE OF STUDENTS THAT YOU HAVE IN A 06:03 CLASSROOM WHEN YOU GET MORE THAN FIVE TOGETHER 06:06 THERE IS PINCHING AND THIS AND THAT AND STUFF GOING 06:09 ON. 06:09 YES, YES. 06:10 BUT MY FOLKS KNEW HOW TO JUST YOU KNOW LET US GROW 06:14 UP AND YET BE VERY SUPPORTIVE AND 06:16 ENCOURAGING. 06:17 YOU KNOW WE HAD OUR STERN TALKINGS TO AS WE GREW UP 06:21 BUT IT WAS A VERY LOVING SUPPORTIVE HOME. 06:25 IN FACT ALL MY BROTHERS WE ALL FIVE OF US GRADUATED 06:30 FROM LA SIERRA COLLEGE. 06:31 I THINK THAT MIGHT BE A RECORD. 06:32 AND ALL FOUR OF MY BROTHERS WERE TEACHERS, 06:38 GRADUATED WITH EDUCATION DEGREES. 06:41 AND MY OLDEST BROTHER LONNIE, AS MOST OF YOU 06:42 MIGHT KNOW THROUGH THE MINISTRY OF IT IS WRITTEN 06:45 AND VOICE OF PROPHECY, HE ALWAYS WAS A PASTOR AND 06:49 STAYED WITH THE PASTORAL CALLING THAT HE FELT 06:52 THAT'S WHERE HIS NICHE IN LIFE WAS. 06:55 BUT THE OTHER FOUR OF US WERE TEACHERS. 06:57 AND THEN JOEDY WENT TO THE MINISTRY AND MY OTHER 07:00 BROTHER EUGENE WENT INTO THE MINISTRY. 07:02 BUT MY BROTHER DALLAS AND MYSELF WE STAYED AS 07:04 TEACHERS THROUGHOUT OUR CAREERS. 07:07 SO THERE'S ALWAYS THAT LITTLE, CAN I SAY 07:11 IMPLANTING IN OUR MINDS FROM OUR PARENTS HOW MAYBE 07:15 WE COULD BEST SERVE GOD BY DOING SOMETHING IN SERVICE 07:19 FOR HIM. 07:20 YES. 07:21 AND THE MINISTRY CALLING AND TEACHING WERE THE WAYS 07:25 IN WHICH WE FELT COMFORTABLE AND I'VE NEVER 07:27 REGRETTED ONE SECOND CHOOSING TO BE A TEACHER 07:30 FOR 35 YEARS. 07:32 WELL AND LIFE IS KIND OF FUNNY REALLY ISN'T IT 07:34 BECAUSE I WAS IN THE THIRD GRADE WHEN YOU WERE 07:37 TEACHING AT A SCHOOL WHERE YOU WERE THE PRINCIPAL 07:40 THEN LATER AND SO YES. 07:42 ISN'T IT A SMALL WORLD. 07:43 SIMI VALLEY IS WHERE I STARTED. 07:45 IT'S A COMPLETELY SMALL WORLD. 07:47 COMPLETELY SMALL WORLD. 07:48 HARD TO BELIEVE. 07:49 AND LAVONNE TELL ME ABOUT WHAT YOU DO. 07:52 I'M AN OPTICIAN AND WE LIVE IN PARADISE, 07:55 CALIFORNIA. 07:56 AND I'M SEMI RETIRED SO I'M DOWN TO TWO DAYS A 08:00 WEEK. 08:01 AND IT'S I'VE BEEN DOING THAT FOR A LOT OF YEARS. 08:04 AND SO I'M HONORED TO BE IN SINGING WITH THE 08:08 MELASHENKO FAMILY FOR THREE AND A HALF YEARS 08:12 NOW. 08:13 SO THEY JUST DRUG ME IN EVEN THOUGH I HADN'T SUNG 08:17 SINCE HIGH SCHOOL BUT THEY SAID YOU'RE GOING TO COME 08:20 SING WITH US. 08:21 AND I REALLY FELT HONORED AND I ENJOY IT A LOT. 08:25 I'M HAPPY TO PRAISE THE LORD BY SINGING WITH THEM. 08:29 WELL THANK YOU TO BOTH OF YOU. 08:31 AND YOU KNOW MUSIC IS SO IMPORTANT AND IT'S ONE 08:35 THING YOU KNOW WE TALK ABOUT YOU KNOW THE STORIES 08:37 OF THE BIBLE. 08:38 AND YOU KNOW THESE ARE SO IMPORTANT. 08:39 AND BUT YET WE THINK ABOUT DAVID AND WE THINK OF THE 08:42 PSALMS AS SO MUCH OF THE BIBLE WAS WRITTEN TO 08:46 MUSIC. 08:47 AND SO THERE'S A PART OF MUSIC THAT IT JUST SOOTHES 08:50 YOUR SOUL AND I KNOW THAT WHEN I READ THE BIBLE 08:54 THERE ARE THINGS THAT TOUCH ME BUT YET THERE ARE 08:56 SOMETIMES THERE'S A SONG THAT WHEN YOU HEAR IT, YOU 08:59 KNOW THE OLD RUGGED CROSS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, IT 09:01 JUST TOUCHES YOU IN SUCH A SPECIAL WAY. 09:04 WELL JULIE YOU KNOW MUSIC IS INCREDIBLY POWERFUL. 09:07 YES. 09:08 WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT MUSIC CAN CAUSE YOU TO, IT 09:13 WILL BRING TEARS TO YOUR EYES, IT WILL CAUSE YOU TO 09:15 GET UP AND DANCE, IT WILL TAKE YOU AS YOU KNOW IN 09:19 THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR WHEN THE DRUM AND FIFE WERE 09:21 PLAYING IT WOULD PUT YOU INTO BATTLE. 09:25 THE INCREDIBLE POWER OF MUSIC IS AMAZING IN OUR 09:28 LIVES. 09:29 AND JUST THINK WHAT IT'S GOING TO BE LIKE IN HEAVEN 09:32 WHEN JESUS COMES BACK. 09:33 AMAZING YES. 09:34 SO AS YOU'RE GOING TO THE CHURCHES AND YOU'RE 09:35 SINGING WITH JOEDY AND JUDY IS THERE A SONG THAT 09:40 YOU SING TOGETHER THAT YOU KNOW WHEN IT COMES UP THAT 09:42 TIME TO SING THAT SONG IS THERE ONE THAT'S VERY 09:44 MEANINGFUL TO YOU THAT OR MAYBE ONE REALLY THAT YOU 09:49 SANG GROWING UP? 09:53 THERE WAS A SONG WE GREW UP SINGING. 09:55 WHERE CAN I GO BUT TO THE LORD. 09:57 I'LL NEVER FORGET SINGING THAT AS A LITTLE KID AND 09:59 WE EVEN ACTUALLY SING IT ON OUR CONCERTS SOMETIME. 10:02 LIVING BELOW IN THIS OLD SINFUL WORLD HARDLY A 10:05 COMFORT CAN AFFORD. 10:07 AND THE QUESTION COMES UP WHERE CAN WE GO BUT TO THE 10:10 LORD. 10:11 I THINK WE'RE NOT IMMUNE TO HARDSHIPS AND TRIALS 10:15 THAT COME INTO OUR LIVES. 10:17 YOU HAVE SOME THAT YOU HAVE. 10:20 WE ALL HAVE. 10:21 WE TOO HAVE. 10:22 AS LAVONNE JUST MENTIONED WE'VE JUST BEEN RECENTLY 10:24 MARRIED THREE AND A HALF YEARS AGO AND THERE WAS A 10:29 TIME IN MY LIFE ABOUT TEN YEARS AGO. 10:32 MY MOM HAD PASSED AWAY. 10:35 MY DAD WAS LIVING IN A CARE FACILITY THAT WAS 10:39 TAKING CARE OF HIM IN PARADISE, CALIFORNIA. 10:43 AND I, IT'S A LITTLE BIT HARD TO TALK ABOUT THIS 10:45 WITHOUT CHOKING UP A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE , 10:47 THAT'S OKAY, SOME OF YOU OUT THERE YOU KNOW WHAT 10:49 I'M TALKING ABOUT THAT HAVE HAD TO TAKE CARE OF 10:51 YOUR FAMILY. 10:52 I WAS IN A POSITION TO TAKE CARE OF MY DAD. 10:56 AND I DECIDED THAT AFTER A 35 YEAR, RIGHT IN THE 10:58 MIDDLE OF MY 35 YEARS OF TEACHING, I GOT A PHONE 11:01 CALL FROM THE CARE FACILITY WHERE THE 11:04 DIRECTOR SAID YOU KNOW YOUR DAD IS NOT EVEN 11:06 COMING TO MEALS ANYMORE. 11:08 HE'S NOT GOING TO THE SOCIAL ACTIVITIES THAT 11:10 WE'RE PROVIDING. 11:12 HE'S REALLY SHUTTING DOWN. 11:13 AND YOUR DAD SEEMED VERY SOCIAL. 11:14 OH HE IS VERY SOCIAL. 11:16 AND I DIDN'T KNOW HIM BUT JUST OBSERVING HIM HE WAS 11:18 LIKE WANTING TO BE THERE. 11:20 OH VERY SOCIAL. 11:20 HE WAS DEFINITELY OUT THERE. 11:22 OH HE WAS VERY WELL ACCEPTED THERE AND PEOPLE 11:24 LOVED HIM AND HE ALWAYS HAD A JOKE TO TELL PEOPLE 11:27 AND HE ALWAYS WAS INTERACTING WITH PEOPLE. 11:28 AND FOR HIM TO SHUT DOWN LIKE THAT. 11:30 MY MOM AND DAD HAD BEEN MARRIED FOR 64 YEARS AND I 11:33 KNOW HE WAS DYING OF A BROKEN HEART. 11:34 AND IT'S A LITTLE HARD TO TALK ABOUT IT, BUT I WOULD 11:35 GO THERE HOURS ON END AND SEE THAT HE WAS JUST 11:37 REALLY STRUGGLING. 11:38 AND I MADE A DECISION, I SAID I'M GOING TO TAKE 11:39 CARE OF MY DAD. 11:40 AND SO I BROUGHT HIM INTO MY HOME AND I JUST KNEW 11:44 THAT THAT WAS MY CALLING. 11:47 I NEEDED TO TAKE CARE OF MY DAD AT THAT TIME. 11:50 AND SOME OF YOU THAT ARE OUT THERE I KNOW THAT 11:51 YOU'VE BEEN IN THAT SAME POSITION. 11:53 I TOOK CARE OF MY DAD FOR FOUR YEARS. 11:54 AND WHEN I FIRST BROUGHT HIM INTO MY HOME ABOUT 11:55 WITHIN MONTHS OF THAT MY OLDEST SON WAS A SOCIAL 11:58 WORKER IN PHOENIX, ARIZONA AND HE CONTRACTED 12:01 SOMETHING AT THE NURSING HOME THAT HE WAS IN AND 12:06 I'LL NEVER FORGET FLYING OUT THERE AND HE WAS IN 12:16 THE HOSPITAL AND HE ALMOST DIED. 12:25 SO YOU HAVE YOUR DAD AT HOME AND THEN YOU SON. 12:27 MY SON WHO HAS SOME ILLNESS THAT HE WAS, I HAD 12:31 TO GO THERE AND MOVE HIM OR HE FLEW BACK TO OUR 12:34 HOUSE AND I'LL NEVER FORGET. 12:36 SO HERE WE HAVE MY SON MOVING IN WITH US. 12:39 MY DAD MOVING IN WITH US AND I'M PULLING AWAY FROM 12:42 MY 35 YEAR CAREER AND ALL OF THIS IS COMING AT ONE 12:45 TIME AND WHEN STRESSORS COME INTO A RELATIONSHIP 12:49 YOU CAN BECOME CLOSER OR YOU PULL APART. 12:52 AND I'M SORRY TO SAY THAT IT RESULTED IN A DIVORCE 12:56 AFTER 33 YEARS OF MARRIAGE. 12:59 AND I'M CERTAIN SOME OF YOU OUT THERE HAVE ALSO 13:03 SUFFERED THROUGH THAT PAIN. 13:06 AND WHAT A PAINFUL EXPERIENCE THAT IS. 13:09 AND I'M JUST GLAD THAT OUR CHURCH, MY PARADISE CHURCH 13:13 SURROUNDED ME WITH SUPPORT. 13:16 THEY CONTINUED TO RETAIN ME AS AN ELDER THERE AND I 13:18 WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE TO SERVE THERE AS I DO THE 13:21 IN-HOME COMMUNIONS FOR THE SHUT INS. 13:23 THAT'S MY RESPONSIBILITY. 13:25 OH WOW, SINCE YOU UNDERSTAND THIS. 13:26 SO THEY SUPPORTED ME THROUGH THAT TIME AND YOU 13:33 KNOW IT'S NICE TO BE ABLE TO BE THERE WHERE PEOPLE 13:36 CAME. 13:37 AND THEY WEREN'T SO CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT 13:39 HAPPENED AS TO WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO YOU REALLY AND 13:42 WE WANT TO BE SUPPORTIVE OF YOU. 13:44 SO THROUGH ALL OF THIS, THROUGH A DIVORCE, THROUGH 13:48 MY DAD THERE, MY SON THERE IT DROPS YOU TO YOUR KNEES 13:54 AND I'LL NEVER FORGET READING IN JOHN 6:66 THERE 13:56 ABOUT WHERE THE DISCIPLES YOU KNOW WHEN CHRIST WAS 14:00 READY TO REVEAL HIMSELF YOU KNOW AS KING AND HE 14:04 WAS GOING TO GO THROUGH THESE HARDSHIPS. 14:05 SOME OF THEM SAID I'M NOT SURE IF I WANT TO BE A 14:07 PART OF THAT. 14:09 AND THE QUESTION COMES UP THERE AROUND JOHN 6:66 14:13 ABOUT WHERE DO YOU GO. 14:14 AND I WAS THERE JULIE. 14:16 WHERE DO YOU GO WHEN ALL OF THIS IS CRASHING DOWN 14:21 ON YOU BUT TO THE LORD. 14:24 YES AND IT SAYS HERE, "FROM THIS TIME MANY OF 14:26 HIS DISCIPLES TURNED BACK AND NO LONGER FOLLOWED 14:29 HIM." 14:31 AND THEN KEEP GOING. 14:32 "YOU DO NOT WANT TO LEAVE ME TOO DO YOU?" 14:34 JESUS ASKED THE TWELVE. 14:35 SIMON PETER ASKED HIM, "LORD TO WHOM SHALL WE GO? 14:38 YOU HAVE THE WORDS OF ETERNAL LIFE. 14:40 WE HAVE COME TO BELIEVE AND TO KNOW THAT YOU ARE 14:42 THE HOLY ONE OF GOD." 14:44 THEN JESUS REPLIED, "HAVE I NOT CHOSEN YOU THE 14:46 TWELVE? 14:47 YET ONE OF YOU IS A DEVIL." 14:49 AND HE WENT ON TO TALK ABOUT JUDAS. 14:50 BUT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS WE HAVE COME TO BELIEVE 14:52 AND TO KNOW THAT YOU ARE THE HOLY ONE. 14:54 AND WHERE DID HE GO BUT TO THE LORD IN TIMES OF NEED. 14:57 AND I'M GLAD MY FOLKS TAUGHT ME HOW TO PRAY. 14:59 AND I'LL NEVER FORGET THROUGH THESE EXPERIENCES 15:03 ANOTHER FRIEND OF MINE THROUGH THIS SUPPORTIVE 15:05 TEAM SAID, RUDY YOU CAN EITHER BECOME BITTER OR 15:10 YOU CAN BECOME BETTER THROUGH THESE TRIALS. 15:12 AND I ENCOURAGE YOU OUT THERE WHEN LIFE SEEMS TO 15:16 BE JUST FALLING APART YOU CAN EITHER BECOME BITTER 15:20 AND JUST CRITICIZE THE CHURCH OR WHOEVER ELSE YOU 15:24 WANT TO CRITICIZE OR YOU CAN BECOME BETTER THROUGH 15:27 THOSE EXPERIENCES. 15:28 AND I ENCOURAGE YOU TO BECOME BETTER THROUGH 15:30 THOSE TIMES. 15:31 AND YOU MAY NOT UNDERSTAND IT AT THE TIME BUT IT WILL 15:36 MAKE SENSE IN TIME. 15:37 AND RIGHT NOW IT'S JUST A BEAUTIFUL TIME AND ONE OF 15:40 THE SONGS THAT YOU ASKED ABOUT IS ON ONE OF OUR 15:43 CDS. 15:44 GOD WANTS TO HEAR YOU SING WHEN ALL THESE TRIALS COME 15:50 TO YOU. 15:51 GOD LOVES TO HEAR YOUR PRAISE ON OUR CHEERFUL 15:53 DAYS BUT WHEN THOSE BAD THINGS ARE HAPPENING TO 15:59 YOU IT'S TIME TO SING TO GOD AND BRING YOUR PRAISES 16:04 TO HIM. 16:05 AND THAT'S ONE OF THE SONGS WE SING AS WELL THAT 16:06 IS VERY TOUCHING. 16:07 BUT ALSO WHERE CAN YOU GO BUT TO THE LORD WHEN 16:10 EVERYTHING ELSE IS FALLING APART. 16:12 BUT IF THIS IS HOPEFULLY AN ENCOURAGEMENT TO SOME 16:15 OF YOU THAT ARE GOING THROUGH SOME TOUGH TIMES 16:17 OUT THERE I JUST ENCOURAGE YOU TO HANG IN THERE AND 16:21 GOD HAS A TIMETABLE THAT'S NOT OUR TIMETABLE. 16:24 WE'D LIKE TO TELL HIM WHAT TO DO SOMETIMES AND GIVE 16:26 HIM SOME HINTS, HEY CAN I HELP, MAYBE I CAN HELP YOU 16:29 OUT GOD. 16:30 I HAVE TO TELL YOU WHEN I SAW HIM TAKING CARE OF HIS 16:32 DAD I WAS SO IMPRESSED WITH WHAT HE DID FOR HIM 16:36 FOR THOSE MANY YEARS. 16:38 HE JUST HAS A BIG HEART AND THAT, THAT DID IT TO 16:42 ME, GOT TO MY HEART. 16:44 WELL SEE AND YOU KNOW THAT IS AND YOU'RE SO RIGHT 16:47 BOTH OF YOU. 16:48 MANY PEOPLE ARE TAKING CARE OF LOVED ONES. 16:50 MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE HAVE DONE THAT AS WELL. 16:53 AND THE COMMITMENT OF HAVING SOMEONE A FAMILY 16:56 MEMBER IN YOUR HOME TOO. 16:57 AND ESPECIALLY SOMEONE WHO YOU LOVE DEARLY. 17:00 AND YET A BETTER DAY IS COMING AND WE HAVE TO TURN 17:03 TO THE LORD. 17:04 BUT THESE THINGS HAPPEN AND WE DON'T KNOW THE 17:06 REASON WHY NOW. 17:07 NO WE DON'T. 17:08 AND I'M DOING A BIBLE STUDY AND THE TEACHER WAS 17:12 TALKING ABOUT WE'RE NOT GOING TO UNDERSTAND AND IT 17:15 IS VERY HARD TO, BUT YET THIS IS WHERE WE HAVE THE 17:18 OPPORTUNITY TO THEN TO SHARE WITH SOMEONE ELSE. 17:20 SO THANK YOU BOTH OF YOU FOR SHARING. 17:22 AND THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART HERE OF GOSPEL 17:24 OUTREACH AS WE ARE TALKING HERE WITH RUDY AND LAVONNE 17:26 MELASHENKO. 17:27 WE'RE GLAD THAT YOU ARE PARTNERING HERE WITH US AS 17:29 WELL. 17:30 AND WE HAVE SOME INFORMATION THAT WE'D LIKE 17:31 TO SHARE WITH YOU. 17:33 WHY HASN'T JESUS COME? 17:37 JT'S BECAUSE WE HAVE A JOB TO DO, ONE THAT HIS RETURN 17:40 DEPENDS ON. 17:42 THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT CHRIST WILL COME AFTER THE 17:45 GOSPEL HAS BEEN PREACHED IN ALL THE WORLD. 17:48 THE
