The following program
discusses sensitive issues
00:00:01.36\00:00:03.37
related to addictive behavior.
00:00:03.40\00:00:05.13
Parents are
cautioned that some material
00:00:05.17\00:00:06.77
may be too candid
for younger children.
00:00:06.80\00:00:08.90
I think I'm always amazed
00:00:13.58\00:00:16.04
even when you start
talking about the time again,
00:00:16.08\00:00:18.41
this was 18 months
ago and I'm looking at you
00:00:18.45\00:00:21.02
and I knew even
during the prayer
00:00:21.05\00:00:23.42
that you were gonna be sitting
some day just full of joy,
00:00:23.45\00:00:26.89
knowing that it
was all working out.
00:00:26.92\00:00:28.69
Talk a little bit
about the property again,
00:00:28.72\00:00:30.93
I know there's a
connection here to the US
00:00:30.96\00:00:33.09
and then I want you to
talk to somebody out there
00:00:33.13\00:00:36.20
that maybe feels
like I'm walking dead now.
00:00:36.23\00:00:38.73
I don't get it.
00:00:38.77\00:00:40.10
I'm hopeless. Okay.
00:00:40.14\00:00:41.57
Well, thank you.
00:00:41.60\00:00:42.97
So the property,
we've been blessed,
00:00:43.00\00:00:44.37
the three
families have been blessed
00:00:44.41\00:00:46.14
in acquiring a
1400 acre property
00:00:46.17\00:00:48.88
in one of the
most pristine areas
00:00:48.91\00:00:50.91
of New Zealand in Rotorua.
00:00:50.95\00:00:52.58
A $22 million property.
00:00:52.61\00:00:55.15
Somewhere around that figure.
00:00:55.18\00:00:56.52
Yeah. Yeah.
00:00:56.55\00:00:57.89
Isn't God great?
00:00:57.92\00:00:59.35
And you know what? Crazy.
00:00:59.39\00:01:00.76
It's not about the
money, it's about the mission.
00:01:00.79\00:01:03.02
There are three
families that have come together
00:01:03.06\00:01:05.03
for one purpose
00:01:05.06\00:01:06.39
and that is to
provide an environment
00:01:06.43\00:01:09.03
where ministry can take place
00:01:09.06\00:01:11.77
and so we're
almost like an umbrella.
00:01:11.80\00:01:14.40
So it's gonna be
for young people,
00:01:14.44\00:01:15.77
we're gonna do a
leadership program
00:01:15.80\00:01:18.21
to disciple young
people and all people alike,
00:01:18.24\00:01:20.94
marriage retreat,
00:01:20.98\00:01:22.31
health and wellness
00:01:22.34\00:01:24.38
and here's the beautiful thing,
00:01:24.41\00:01:26.41
when Jesus says,
00:01:26.45\00:01:27.78
"With two or three
together in His name,
00:01:27.82\00:01:30.52
we can do all things."
00:01:30.55\00:01:31.89
We understand, the
three families understand
00:01:31.92\00:01:33.32
what it means to
work together in Christ
00:01:33.36\00:01:36.52
and synergistically
use the skill sets
00:01:36.56\00:01:38.93
and the gifts that He's given
each individual in that family
00:01:38.96\00:01:42.26
to achieve a kingdom result.
00:01:42.30\00:01:44.10
And that's why, yeah,
00:01:45.13\00:01:46.47
so we're not
gonna specialize in one
00:01:46.50\00:01:47.84
because that's too small.
00:01:47.87\00:01:49.70
He wants us to provide
an environment in 1400 acres
00:01:49.74\00:01:52.47
where ministry can take place
00:01:52.51\00:01:54.41
and as long as we
stay true to the core
00:01:54.44\00:01:56.75
and that's developing vertical
and horizontal relationships
00:01:56.78\00:02:00.42
where Jesus
Christ is the center.
00:02:00.45\00:02:01.95
Amen.
00:02:01.98\00:02:03.32
Then the impossible is possible
00:02:03.35\00:02:05.42
'cause we're
living the impossible,
00:02:05.45\00:02:06.79
so only God gets the glory.
00:02:06.82\00:02:08.16
Amen.
00:02:08.19\00:02:09.52
Not only that, the property
and the property in America,
00:02:09.56\00:02:12.26
in La Porte, Indiana,
00:02:12.29\00:02:13.63
there we're also gonna
do some similar things.
00:02:13.66\00:02:15.00
That's incredible. I
got to say, thank you.
00:02:15.03\00:02:16.36
We are running out of time
00:02:16.40\00:02:17.73
but if you are out there
and you are feeling like,
00:02:17.77\00:02:19.77
The Walking Dead
and you are hopeless,
00:02:19.80\00:02:21.57
do not give up, do not give up.
00:02:21.60\00:02:23.64
Grab somebody, let
them speak into your life,
00:02:23.67\00:02:26.27
let someone pray for you,
00:02:26.31\00:02:27.71
let someone step in and
where you cannot see God,
00:02:27.74\00:02:33.45
let them just be
there for you at that time.
00:02:33.48\00:02:35.75
Until next time,
00:02:35.78\00:02:37.12
always remember that God
is crazy about you, me too.
00:02:37.15\00:02:40.32
Don't give up.
00:02:40.36\00:02:41.69
It's amazing
when God's steps in.
00:02:41.72\00:02:43.83
