Welcome to our Mini
Concert for the Kids.
00:00:28.16\00:00:31.49
I am happy to partner
with Child Impact International
00:00:31.53\00:00:34.46
to provide this
special program for you.
00:00:34.50\00:00:37.90
This is a time of need.
00:00:37.93\00:00:40.07
This is a tragic time.
00:00:40.10\00:00:42.20
And so, we hope that the music
and the words will encourage
00:00:42.24\00:00:45.61
and bless you.
00:00:45.64\00:00:47.44
Child Impact as a ministry,
00:00:47.51\00:00:49.98
along with its supporters
00:00:50.01\00:00:51.35
that have been
making a difference
00:00:51.38\00:00:52.81
in the lives of
thousands of children
00:00:52.85\00:00:55.18
in six countries.
00:00:55.22\00:00:57.12
Personally, I have traveled
with the CEO of Child Impact,
00:00:57.15\00:01:01.36
Jim Rennie
00:01:01.39\00:01:02.72
to places like
India and Myanmar.
00:01:02.76\00:01:05.33
I have seen with my own
eyes, the lives being changed,
00:01:05.36\00:01:10.33
the work that is being done
with these precious children
00:01:10.37\00:01:13.70
to give them hope, a
future in Jesus Christ.
00:01:13.74\00:01:18.47
So welcome to
our special program.
00:01:18.51\00:01:21.28
I hope you are blessed.
00:01:21.31\00:01:23.81
Throughout our program,
00:01:23.85\00:01:25.18
we are going to be dedicating
the songs to the children
00:01:25.21\00:01:29.28
in some of these
schools and places
00:01:29.32\00:01:31.82
that I've had the
opportunity to visit.
00:01:31.85\00:01:34.12
One of them is the deaf school.
00:01:34.16\00:01:36.79
Thanks to its supporters,
00:01:36.83\00:01:38.33
Child Impact is able to fund
00:01:38.36\00:01:40.93
and support an
Adventist Mission School
00:01:40.96\00:01:43.70
for the Deaf in India.
00:01:43.73\00:01:46.13
These young
people would never have
00:01:46.17\00:01:48.34
an education otherwise,
00:01:48.37\00:01:50.24
but now they are thriving,
00:01:50.27\00:01:52.01
they are learning sign language
and they can have a career,
00:01:52.04\00:01:56.14
a hope and a future.
00:01:56.18\00:01:57.91
His eye is on the sparrow.
00:01:57.95\00:02:00.52
Turn your eyes upon Jesus
00:06:36.83\00:06:38.33
is dedicated to the
children in Bangladesh.
00:06:38.36\00:06:41.80
Bangladesh is
actually one of the poorest
00:06:41.83\00:06:44.13
and most densely
populated countries
00:06:44.17\00:06:46.90
in the world.
00:06:46.94\00:06:48.44
The Adventist Mission schools
00:06:48.47\00:06:50.47
serve mainly those
poor and rural communities.
00:06:50.51\00:06:55.44
Sending a child
to a boarding school
00:06:55.48\00:06:57.91
means that not only will
they receive an education
00:06:57.95\00:07:01.65
but they will be fed.
00:07:01.68\00:07:03.02
Oh, magnify the Lord
00:10:08.64\00:10:10.47
is dedicated to the
more than 2000 children
00:10:10.51\00:10:14.81
that are sponsored in India.
00:10:14.84\00:10:17.31
Child Impact
sponsors these children
00:10:17.35\00:10:20.38
in Adventist Mission schools.
00:10:20.42\00:10:22.92
They are very, very poor.
00:10:22.95\00:10:25.12
And they have an opportunity
through these sponsorships
00:10:25.15\00:10:27.72
to receive a
wonderful Christian education.
00:10:27.76\00:10:30.29
The parents are
especially grateful
00:10:30.33\00:10:32.66
for this opportunity.
00:10:32.69\00:10:34.03
And many of these children
meet Jesus during this time.
00:10:34.10\00:10:38.20
Thank you so
much for joining us.
00:12:48.56\00:12:50.80
I hope you enjoyed
00:12:50.83\00:12:52.17
these mini
concerts for the kids.
00:12:52.20\00:12:55.07
The first time I went to India,
00:12:55.10\00:12:56.97
at the end of our
trip we visited a village,
00:12:57.04\00:12:59.51
it was a very poor village.
00:12:59.54\00:13:01.94
And a gentleman came
up to me and he said,
00:13:01.98\00:13:03.85
"Sir, would you please help us?
00:13:03.88\00:13:06.82
Would you help
the people of India?"
00:13:06.85\00:13:09.82
I'll never forget those words.
00:13:09.85\00:13:11.79
And as we left
to go to the airport
00:13:11.82\00:13:13.86
and I would catch
my flight to come home,
00:13:13.89\00:13:16.73
I decided, I do want to help,
00:13:16.76\00:13:19.26
I can help.
00:13:19.29\00:13:20.93
In fact, you can help too,
00:13:20.96\00:13:22.56
all of us can make a difference
00:13:22.60\00:13:24.93
in the lives of
others for the glory of God.
00:13:24.97\00:13:28.34
Child Impact is reaching
more than 3000 young people.
00:13:28.37\00:13:33.58
The sponsorship
is the key element
00:13:33.64\00:13:35.74
and work that Child Impact does,
00:13:35.78\00:13:37.75
but there is so much
more that can be done.
00:13:37.78\00:13:40.78
I want to invite you
to go to childimpact.org,
00:13:40.82\00:13:44.99
see the website,
look at the pictures,
00:13:45.02\00:13:47.22
read the stories
00:13:47.26\00:13:48.69
and see how so many
lives are being changed.
00:13:48.72\00:13:52.46
Obviously, you
can sponsor a child
00:13:52.49\00:13:54.93
and a little goes a long way.
00:13:54.93\00:13:57.43
But there's also the
Where Needed Most Fund,
00:13:57.50\00:14:01.20
opportunities come to
support certain projects.
00:14:01.24\00:14:04.97
And we would love for
you to know that your funds,
00:14:05.01\00:14:08.94
your support is making
a huge impact in the lives
00:14:08.98\00:14:12.35
of these precious
young people there.
00:14:12.38\00:14:14.85
May God bless you,
00:14:14.88\00:14:16.42
may He keep you safe,
and may we be together again.
00:14:16.45\00:14:21.09
In Jesus' name, amen.
00:14:21.12\00:14:24.23
