Please stand as we
sing our theme song.
00:00:33.29\00:00:35.73
There's a lost, lonely soul
00:00:49.74\00:00:52.68
Waiting silent at war
00:00:52.71\00:00:55.38
For a rescue To come to the door
00:00:55.42\00:01:01.16
Many could go but I only know
00:01:01.19\00:01:06.36
The name Of that one lonely soul
00:01:06.39\00:01:11.13
Oh can you hear Our
Prince Calling on before
00:01:11.17\00:01:17.04
"Let us go and restore
00:01:17.07\00:01:22.04
The broken hearted The wounded
00:01:22.08\00:01:25.48
The captives of war
00:01:25.51\00:01:29.08
Will you bear My
shield of faith once more?"
00:01:29.12\00:01:36.02
Many more are the souls
00:01:36.06\00:01:38.36
Who are bound up in fear
00:01:38.39\00:01:41.16
As they run Through
The dark far and near
00:01:41.20\00:01:47.34
Though I will fight
00:01:47.37\00:01:49.47
Just one ends the night
00:01:49.50\00:01:52.57
Our Prince Who carries the light
00:01:52.61\00:01:57.45
Oh can you hear Our Prince
00:01:57.48\00:02:01.22
Calling on before
00:02:01.25\00:02:03.28
"Let us go and restore
00:02:03.32\00:02:08.36
The broken hearted The wounded
00:02:08.39\00:02:11.69
The captives of war
00:02:11.73\00:02:15.30
Will you bear My
shield of faith once more?"
00:02:15.33\00:02:21.27
To that lost lonely soul
00:02:21.30\00:02:24.21
I will go and will share
00:02:24.24\00:02:26.98
All their cries All
their fears All their prayers
00:02:27.01\00:02:33.05
For it's been told
My Prince he does hold
00:02:33.08\00:02:38.25
The tears Of
that one lonely soul
00:02:38.29\00:02:43.09
Oh can you hear Our Prince
00:02:43.12\00:02:46.80
Calling on before
00:02:46.83\00:02:48.83
"Let us go and restore
00:02:48.86\00:02:53.94
The broken hearted The wounded
00:02:53.97\00:02:57.24
The captives of war
00:02:57.27\00:03:00.91
Will you bear My
shield of faith once more?"
00:03:00.94\00:03:06.25
Oh can you hear Our Prince
00:03:06.28\00:03:10.05
Calling on before
00:03:10.09\00:03:12.09
"Let us go and restore
00:03:12.12\00:03:17.09
The broken hearted The wounded
00:03:17.13\00:03:20.40
The captives of war
00:03:20.43\00:03:24.17
Will you bear My
shield of faith once more?"
00:03:24.20\00:03:30.17
Good evening, everyone.
00:03:36.81\00:03:38.28
Please be seated.
00:03:38.31\00:03:40.92
Tonight is the final
meeting to the, this year's GYC,
00:03:40.95\00:03:45.35
and we want to
welcome each one of you here
00:03:45.39\00:03:47.52
at our final meeting.
00:03:47.56\00:03:49.66
I want to ask you
if you can help us
00:03:49.69\00:03:51.39
extend that welcome
to the person next to you
00:03:51.43\00:03:54.26
and shake their hand.
00:03:54.30\00:03:55.90
Give them, if you're a man
and shaking another man's hand,
00:03:55.93\00:03:57.97
give him a man
warrior's handshake,
00:03:58.00\00:03:59.73
you know clasp to a clasp.
00:03:59.77\00:04:02.07
If you're a woman just give them
00:04:02.10\00:04:03.44
a nice little
taply hug in a feminine,
00:04:03.47\00:04:05.07
how you doing.
00:04:05.11\00:04:07.64
We're a warm group
of people here at GYC.
00:04:07.68\00:04:09.94
We are told that conventions,
convocations, camp meetings,
00:04:16.42\00:04:21.96
large groups
00:04:21.99\00:04:23.32
where God's
people convened together
00:04:23.36\00:04:26.09
are the Lord's appointed means
00:04:26.13\00:04:29.06
by which He
sends the Holy Spirit.
00:04:29.10\00:04:32.00
And even though
tonight is the final meeting,
00:04:32.03\00:04:34.20
we want to not miss
out on the opportunity
00:04:34.24\00:04:37.47
to receive the Holy Spirit.
00:04:37.51\00:04:39.77
So we want this
meeting to be as welcome
00:04:39.81\00:04:41.94
and as open as possible.
00:04:41.98\00:04:43.61
Those of you who out
there quickly come in,
00:04:43.65\00:04:45.68
you are totally late.
00:04:45.71\00:04:47.05
You missed the song service,
but we totally love you.
00:04:47.08\00:04:49.85
So hurry up and
move and get in here.
00:04:49.88\00:04:53.76
Like you don't think I see you?
00:04:53.79\00:04:55.12
I see your...
00:04:55.16\00:04:56.49
Walk, faster, faster, faster.
00:04:56.52\00:04:58.86
Run.
00:04:58.89\00:05:00.56
The Holy Spirit
is being poured forth
00:05:00.60\00:05:02.70
and we don't want these people
to miss out on that blessing.
00:05:02.73\00:05:07.20
But with that welcome,
00:05:07.24\00:05:09.10
we are also told
00:05:09.14\00:05:10.47
that there are
unwelcome elements
00:05:10.51\00:05:12.47
in these meetings as well.
00:05:12.51\00:05:15.24
We are told
that there are devils
00:05:15.28\00:05:17.25
who tried to
distract our attention
00:05:17.28\00:05:19.91
with the most minor things,
00:05:19.95\00:05:22.58
that phone calls come at
the most inappropriate times
00:05:22.62\00:05:26.52
or someone does something
that just catches your eye
00:05:26.55\00:05:28.96
or you're thinking
00:05:28.99\00:05:30.33
of what do I
need to do tomorrow,
00:05:30.36\00:05:31.69
or indifferent sets
in, or you're just tired,
00:05:31.73\00:05:33.70
or you're the person
00:05:33.73\00:05:35.06
that you're most
annoyed with in the world
00:05:35.10\00:05:36.43
is sitting
right in front of you.
00:05:36.46\00:05:37.80
And these things
just get in your mind
00:05:37.83\00:05:39.30
and your mind cannot
focus on spiritual things.
00:05:39.33\00:05:43.24
So we cannot let that happen
00:05:43.27\00:05:44.67
and this is why
we have something
00:05:44.71\00:05:46.68
called opening prayer.
00:05:46.71\00:05:48.88
Amen.
00:05:48.91\00:05:50.25
We don't open
prayer for formality.
00:05:50.28\00:05:53.25
We are asking
the Lord to help us
00:05:53.28\00:05:54.92
to get in the right mindset
00:05:54.95\00:05:56.99
to receive the
blessing of heaven.
00:05:57.02\00:05:59.89
So please, at this time,
00:05:59.92\00:06:01.46
bow your heads, close your eyes.
00:06:01.49\00:06:02.99
And let's pray together
for this final blessing.
00:06:03.02\00:06:07.56
Father in heaven, we thank You
00:06:07.60\00:06:09.93
for this very
large convention center.
00:06:09.96\00:06:13.23
We thank You for the ministries
00:06:13.27\00:06:14.97
that are the media
ministries and 3ABN
00:06:15.00\00:06:17.17
that's recording
and causing this message
00:06:17.21\00:06:19.41
to go all worldwide.
00:06:19.44\00:06:22.01
We thank you for the
leadership and the speakers,
00:06:22.04\00:06:24.58
and the finances and the health,
00:06:24.61\00:06:26.75
and Your people coming together.
00:06:26.78\00:06:28.35
We thank You for
all these things.
00:06:28.38\00:06:29.72
But, Lord, if you
don't send Your Holy Spirit,
00:06:29.75\00:06:31.92
all of this is done in vain.
00:06:31.95\00:06:35.92
We are here to experience
and to hear the Holy Spirit,
00:06:35.96\00:06:41.00
to receive the Holy
Spirit in our hearts
00:06:41.03\00:06:43.73
and to respond with
positive, loving obedience.
00:06:43.77\00:06:49.54
Father, we ask
00:06:49.57\00:06:51.14
that You would
just gently remove
00:06:51.17\00:06:53.07
those things that
00:06:53.11\00:06:54.58
that caused our
attentions to so quickly change.
00:06:54.61\00:06:58.78
We ask that You strongly remove
00:06:58.81\00:07:01.85
the influences of evil
and darkness from this place.
00:07:01.88\00:07:05.09
And for those who
are watching online
00:07:05.12\00:07:07.09
or streaming or whatnot, Lord,
00:07:07.12\00:07:09.76
or cause our minds
to drift heavenward
00:07:09.79\00:07:13.13
and not earthward.
00:07:13.16\00:07:15.26
Father, we ask for
Your special blessing
00:07:15.30\00:07:17.33
of the Holy
Spirit upon the speaker,
00:07:17.37\00:07:19.30
upon the introductory elements,
00:07:19.33\00:07:21.37
upon the music, upon all,
00:07:21.40\00:07:23.87
we ask this in Jesus' name,
00:07:23.91\00:07:25.24
and let everyone say, amen.
00:07:25.27\00:07:30.48
Thank you, Justin,
00:07:30.51\00:07:31.85
for reminding us
for what really matters.
00:07:31.88\00:07:34.35
Amen.
00:07:34.38\00:07:35.72
I appreciated that
song watch ye saints.
00:07:35.75\00:07:39.52
It speaks to a generation
that was longing to see the God
00:07:39.55\00:07:45.26
that meant everything to them.
00:07:45.29\00:07:47.60
There is no cost.
00:07:47.63\00:07:49.56
There's no sacrifice
that was too costly for them.
00:07:49.60\00:07:53.13
And that's really
what GYC is, right?
00:07:53.17\00:07:56.60
We are a
generation of young people
00:07:56.64\00:07:58.37
that just want to see Jesus
come back in our generation.
00:07:58.41\00:08:02.18
And we're not
merely just a conference,
00:08:02.21\00:08:06.01
but we live lives,
we live lives that,
00:08:06.05\00:08:10.29
that seek to
hasten Jesus coming back.
00:08:10.32\00:08:13.15
And that's what we
want to talk about today.
00:08:13.19\00:08:15.79
Here I have official
00:08:15.82\00:08:17.43
and non-official GYC affiliates,
00:08:17.46\00:08:21.56
and we're going to
take a quick drive down,
00:08:21.60\00:08:25.07
longish drive down to Tennessee.
00:08:25.10\00:08:28.37
Tell us, what is
God doing in Tennessee?
00:08:28.40\00:08:30.87
Yes, so my name
is Kaili Kimbrow.
00:08:30.91\00:08:32.37
I am a student
00:08:32.41\00:08:33.74
at Southern
Adventist University.
00:08:33.78\00:08:35.58
And I am working
with GYC Southeast
00:08:35.61\00:08:38.81
as president currently.
00:08:38.85\00:08:40.82
So starting college,
00:08:40.85\00:08:42.18
I quickly realized
that I was so self-focused.
00:08:42.22\00:08:45.62
It was all about my grades,
my time, my college experience,
00:08:45.65\00:08:50.03
and I realized very
quickly that I needed more.
00:08:50.06\00:08:52.76
I needed more of God's Word.
00:08:52.79\00:08:55.63
And I needed to be
more involved in evangelism,
00:08:55.66\00:08:59.07
and I got
involved with GYC Southeast
00:08:59.10\00:09:00.94
and I can truly say
00:09:00.97\00:09:02.40
that being involved in
evangelism intentionally
00:09:02.44\00:09:06.27
brings more to life.
00:09:06.31\00:09:08.04
And it's so exciting,
00:09:08.08\00:09:09.88
because one part
of GYC Southeast,
00:09:09.91\00:09:12.38
a big part is evangelism.
00:09:12.41\00:09:14.45
And in the past every semester,
00:09:14.48\00:09:17.39
we've had three to
four outreach projects
00:09:17.42\00:09:19.59
each semester.
00:09:19.62\00:09:20.96
And we planned
starting this August
00:09:20.99\00:09:22.92
to continue that.
00:09:22.96\00:09:24.39
But God opened
doors and big doors.
00:09:24.43\00:09:27.36
And guess what, Michelle,
00:09:27.40\00:09:28.73
we've had
outreach every Sabbath.
00:09:28.76\00:09:31.13
Every Sabbath? Where?
00:09:31.17\00:09:32.53
And not only that, on
the campus of Southern,
00:09:32.57\00:09:34.50
in the southern area,
00:09:34.54\00:09:35.87
and not only that
00:09:35.90\00:09:37.24
God has provided the resources
00:09:37.27\00:09:39.07
for that to happen continually.
00:09:39.11\00:09:41.08
Amen.
00:09:41.11\00:09:42.58
So the GYC Southeast team
00:09:42.61\00:09:45.21
wanted to continue
evangelism and go even further.
00:09:45.25\00:09:48.55
And so, we are starting a
pilot project this semester
00:09:48.58\00:09:52.25
for small group
evangelism and we're excited
00:09:52.29\00:09:55.86
and ready to launch in August
full for the whole region,
00:09:55.89\00:10:01.40
small group evangelism.
00:10:01.43\00:10:02.76
Wow. So does
that include Kentucky?
00:10:02.80\00:10:05.70
So, yeah, Southeast
region is the Southern Union.
00:10:05.73\00:10:09.40
So if you're in
the Southern Union,
00:10:09.44\00:10:10.81
stop by our booth,
00:10:10.84\00:10:12.17
visit our website, get involved,
00:10:12.21\00:10:14.14
because there's opportunities
for you to be involved,
00:10:14.18\00:10:16.44
but also for your
church to partner with us.
00:10:16.48\00:10:18.55
Amen.
00:10:18.58\00:10:19.91
We have a
conference March 26 to 28
00:10:19.95\00:10:22.68
as well as October on
the campus of Southern.
00:10:22.72\00:10:24.99
March and
October. Thank you, Kaili.
00:10:25.02\00:10:26.86
We're going to
take a long road trip
00:10:26.89\00:10:28.56
over to Washington.
00:10:28.59\00:10:30.86
What's God doing in Washington?
00:10:30.89\00:10:32.26
So my name is Heidi Duffield.
00:10:32.29\00:10:33.90
I am a student and
midwife in Washington State
00:10:33.93\00:10:36.60
and also the
President of GYC Northwest.
00:10:36.63\00:10:39.17
So this past
year in 2019 in March,
00:10:39.20\00:10:41.67
we had our first pre-conference
that we've ever had before.
00:10:41.70\00:10:44.64
Pre-conference? Convention, yes.
00:10:44.67\00:10:46.78
And even though it was
a small group of people,
00:10:46.81\00:10:48.94
we saw God working there.
00:10:48.98\00:10:51.28
So I just want to
share a short story
00:10:51.31\00:10:52.78
that illustrates
the power of prayer.
00:10:52.81\00:10:54.32
On one day,
00:10:54.35\00:10:55.68
there was one of
the teams that went out,
00:10:55.72\00:10:57.05
they only had two hours
to work their territory.
00:10:57.09\00:10:59.85
And they were praying
that God would send them
00:10:59.89\00:11:02.26
to someone to people
00:11:02.29\00:11:03.83
who were longing
to know Him better.
00:11:03.86\00:11:06.33
And they only
made it to 12 houses
00:11:06.36\00:11:09.43
and eight people were home.
00:11:09.46\00:11:10.93
Four people signed up
for some sort of service.
00:11:10.97\00:11:14.44
We're partnering
with Total Health Spokane,
00:11:14.47\00:11:16.40
and they were providing
Bible study services and...
00:11:16.44\00:11:19.17
Good place. So, yeah.
00:11:19.21\00:11:21.68
So two of these people
00:11:21.71\00:11:24.51
of these four
people were clearly people
00:11:24.55\00:11:27.62
that were searching for God
00:11:27.65\00:11:28.98
and that were looking to heaven
00:11:29.02\00:11:30.35
longing for light,
00:11:30.39\00:11:31.72
just like they had prayed,
00:11:31.75\00:11:33.09
and both of those
individuals ended up going on
00:11:33.12\00:11:35.06
and having Bible
studies this past year,
00:11:35.09\00:11:37.56
and through an
evangelistic series
00:11:37.59\00:11:39.86
they joined the
Seventh-day Adventist Church
00:11:39.89\00:11:41.70
through baptism or
profession of faith.
00:11:41.73\00:11:43.87
And it's just an
encouraging testimony
00:11:43.90\00:11:45.53
that even when we're
small, God will work through us.
00:11:45.57\00:11:49.30
And even one soul
brought to Him is a big thing.
00:11:49.34\00:11:52.97
Amen. Amen.
00:11:53.01\00:11:54.34
Being involved
with GYC Northwest
00:11:54.38\00:11:55.88
has been one of
the biggest blessings
00:11:55.91\00:11:57.25
in my life.
00:11:57.28\00:11:58.61
It's taught me
more than anything else,
00:11:58.65\00:12:00.82
I can think of how little I know
00:12:00.85\00:12:02.58
and how much I need God.
00:12:02.62\00:12:03.95
But I want to encourage
any young people out there.
00:12:03.99\00:12:06.59
If the Lord has
placed on your heart
00:12:06.62\00:12:08.72
the desire to become
involved in an affiliate
00:12:08.76\00:12:11.29
or to start an affiliate,
00:12:11.33\00:12:12.79
go forward in faith,
you will face obstacles,
00:12:12.83\00:12:15.63
but God will be with you.
00:12:15.66\00:12:17.27
There's a quote
that I love that says,
00:12:17.30\00:12:19.30
"God doesn't call the qualified,
00:12:19.33\00:12:21.57
He qualifies the called."
00:12:21.60\00:12:23.47
And that is huge.
00:12:23.51\00:12:24.84
And when you recognize
that you are not qualified,
00:12:24.87\00:12:27.61
but that God has called you,
00:12:27.64\00:12:28.98
you're in the
best place you can be.
00:12:29.01\00:12:30.81
There's a song I
love that goes on to say
00:12:30.85\00:12:33.31
that you can be
too big for God to use,
00:12:33.35\00:12:35.68
but you'll never be too small.
00:12:35.72\00:12:38.09
Amen. Amen.
00:12:38.12\00:12:40.19
We're go fly down to Guatemala.
00:12:40.22\00:12:43.19
Hello, my name is
Jacqueline Reynosa.
00:12:43.22\00:12:45.13
I'm part of GYC Guatemala
and I serve as a secretary.
00:12:45.16\00:12:49.30
So GYC Guatemala
began here in Tennessee,
00:12:49.33\00:12:52.97
I mean, Kentucky,
00:12:53.00\00:12:54.97
when two young ladies came
00:12:55.00\00:12:57.17
and they were so
blessed by the Holy Spirit.
00:12:57.21\00:12:59.27
They said, "We need to have this
00:12:59.31\00:13:00.64
in Guatemala."
00:13:00.68\00:13:02.01
So they went back to the hotel,
00:13:02.04\00:13:03.38
and they saw
the booklet and say,
00:13:03.41\00:13:04.75
"Okay, we need a secretary,
00:13:04.78\00:13:06.41
a president and
blah, blah, blah."
00:13:06.45\00:13:08.68
And they went back home...
00:13:08.72\00:13:10.12
Just by looking at the booklet
00:13:10.15\00:13:11.62
in your hotel room?
00:13:11.65\00:13:12.99
Exactly. I love it.
00:13:13.02\00:13:14.36
A year later, we had
our first conference.
00:13:14.39\00:13:16.76
And last month, we
had our fourth conference.
00:13:16.79\00:13:19.53
Every year, like you
said, we face obstacles,
00:13:19.56\00:13:22.66
but we see God's hand leading us
00:13:22.70\00:13:25.50
and the miracles
that he does for us
00:13:25.53\00:13:27.97
are amazing.
00:13:28.00\00:13:29.74
Last year, it
was among September
00:13:29.77\00:13:32.37
and we only had
50 people registered.
00:13:32.41\00:13:34.88
And by that
time, we usually have
00:13:34.91\00:13:36.91
more than 200 people.
00:13:36.95\00:13:38.85
We were worried
00:13:38.88\00:13:40.22
because the
convention center had a,
00:13:40.25\00:13:42.12
you know,
limited amount of people.
00:13:42.15\00:13:44.32
And we were worried
00:13:44.35\00:13:45.75
that it was
going to be canceled.
00:13:45.79\00:13:47.66
But we got
together with a pastor.
00:13:47.69\00:13:49.62
He's the president of
one of the conferences.
00:13:49.66\00:13:52.19
He has always supported us
00:13:52.23\00:13:53.83
and he said
don't worry about it.
00:13:53.86\00:13:55.93
I will send 100 delegates to GYC
00:13:55.96\00:13:58.90
and I will pay for them.
00:13:58.93\00:14:00.27
What?
00:14:00.30\00:14:01.64
One hundred? Yes.
00:14:01.67\00:14:03.00
It was a blessing
how God opened that door
00:14:03.04\00:14:05.87
and it was a miracle.
00:14:05.91\00:14:08.44
And GYC
Guatemala has been working
00:14:08.48\00:14:10.55
in a lot of evangelistic things,
00:14:10.58\00:14:12.81
for example,
there was a tragedy,
00:14:12.85\00:14:16.35
one of our volcanoes exploded
00:14:16.38\00:14:18.05
and around 5,000
people were refugees.
00:14:18.09\00:14:22.62
So we went to the camps
and brought donations for them.
00:14:22.66\00:14:28.26
We told the story for
little kids and everything.
00:14:28.30\00:14:31.87
And we're helping in
the needs that they have.
00:14:31.90\00:14:34.90
Yes. Amen.
00:14:34.94\00:14:36.27
Ministering to the
needs in your community.
00:14:36.30\00:14:38.24
Love it.
00:14:38.27\00:14:39.61
Costa Rica.
00:14:39.64\00:14:41.08
Hi, this is Rebecca,
00:14:41.11\00:14:42.71
and I am
representing GYC Costa Rica.
00:14:42.74\00:14:47.25
Basically, Costa Rica
has had a few challenges,
00:14:47.28\00:14:51.19
but we're trying to regroup it
00:14:51.22\00:14:53.25
and especially
in my local church,
00:14:53.29\00:14:57.56
we've been trying to
do more Bible studies,
00:14:57.59\00:15:02.20
and that's our main
focus to create more leaders
00:15:02.23\00:15:05.83
so that we can preach
the three angels' message.
00:15:05.87\00:15:09.07
So, I would like to share
00:15:09.10\00:15:11.74
two small
testimonies about that.
00:15:11.77\00:15:14.44
And one of them
00:15:14.48\00:15:16.08
is that we opened our
house to have Bible studies.
00:15:16.11\00:15:19.98
And so in my house,
only my father and I,
00:15:20.02\00:15:25.65
we attend the church.
00:15:25.69\00:15:27.29
And by having
these Bible studies,
00:15:27.32\00:15:30.36
the rest of the
family has joined,
00:15:30.39\00:15:32.59
and my mother
after like eight years
00:15:32.63\00:15:35.96
of not attending church,
00:15:36.00\00:15:38.10
she did like three weeks ago.
00:15:38.13\00:15:40.20
And not only that,
00:15:40.24\00:15:41.67
but she invited
a friend of hers,
00:15:41.70\00:15:44.31
who's planning to
be baptized already.
00:15:44.34\00:15:47.84
And it's been
incredible because you see
00:15:47.88\00:15:50.91
how our friends that we invite,
00:15:50.95\00:15:54.25
they end up
inviting more friends.
00:15:54.28\00:15:56.65
So it's been really amazing
00:15:56.69\00:15:58.55
and I encourage you
all to open your homes
00:15:58.59\00:16:02.82
to have Bible studies,
00:16:02.86\00:16:04.56
and you will see what
God can do in your home,
00:16:04.59\00:16:08.26
especially in those places
00:16:08.30\00:16:10.53
where you have family
that doesn't go to church
00:16:10.57\00:16:13.27
or things like that.
00:16:13.30\00:16:14.67
So I'm very helpful.
00:16:14.70\00:16:16.84
Amen. Thank you, Rebecca.
00:16:16.87\00:16:18.27
Man, the gospel is too
good to keep to ourselves.
00:16:18.31\00:16:20.98
What's happening
Colombia, Leeroy?
00:16:21.01\00:16:22.94
Thank you, Michelle.
00:16:22.98\00:16:24.31
We're so excited to see
what's happening in Colombia.
00:16:24.35\00:16:26.28
My name is Leeroy,
00:16:26.31\00:16:27.65
and I get the privilege to see
00:16:27.68\00:16:29.12
and help a little bit
with GYC Latin America
00:16:29.15\00:16:31.35
but specifically in Colombia,
00:16:31.39\00:16:32.72
the young people
have come to believe
00:16:32.75\00:16:34.42
that GYC is not
just a conference,
00:16:34.46\00:16:36.02
but it's actually a movement,
00:16:36.06\00:16:37.69
and so what they
decided to do is this,
00:16:37.73\00:16:39.73
they have this particular story
00:16:39.76\00:16:41.26
where out of the
conference like this one,
00:16:41.30\00:16:44.17
there were some five,
00:16:44.20\00:16:45.60
specifically five young
people that they decided
00:16:45.63\00:16:48.14
that they wanted to do
something more for Jesus.
00:16:48.17\00:16:50.01
So they went, they
found a dying church.
00:16:50.04\00:16:52.51
They went to
this particular place,
00:16:52.54\00:16:54.08
they call it Misiontado.
00:16:54.11\00:16:55.84
They went to this place
00:16:55.88\00:16:57.21
and the five
missionaries went to that church
00:16:57.25\00:16:59.35
where there was
only five elderly people
00:16:59.38\00:17:01.75
that were in that church.
00:17:01.78\00:17:03.12
They came,
00:17:03.15\00:17:04.49
they started
holding Bible studies,
00:17:04.52\00:17:06.02
they started
visiting the community.
00:17:06.05\00:17:07.56
And today they have
a total of 35 members.
00:17:07.59\00:17:10.76
They have five
ongoing small groups
00:17:10.79\00:17:13.60
and they have
purchased their own church.
00:17:13.63\00:17:15.46
So this is just fascinating
00:17:15.50\00:17:16.97
how this movement is
not just a conference,
00:17:17.00\00:17:19.60
but actually movement.
00:17:19.63\00:17:20.97
We're fascinated, Michelle.
00:17:21.00\00:17:22.34
And this was a group of
pastors and evangelists, right?
00:17:22.37\00:17:26.34
No, Michelle, there
was just young people
00:17:26.37\00:17:28.24
like the ones that we
have right here in front of us,
00:17:28.28\00:17:30.35
young people that
believe in the message
00:17:30.38\00:17:31.95
and that message has
impacted their hearts,
00:17:31.98\00:17:33.92
they have gone
farther beyond that
00:17:33.95\00:17:35.45
to impact other people's lives.
00:17:35.48\00:17:36.85
Amen, God equips us.
00:17:36.89\00:17:39.15
Venezuela.
00:17:39.19\00:17:40.52
All right.
00:17:40.56\00:17:41.89
In Latin America
00:17:41.92\00:17:43.26
actually just to
add the information,
00:17:43.29\00:17:45.06
we have presence
in eight countries
00:17:45.09\00:17:48.33
in Latin America today.
00:17:48.36\00:17:50.13
Venezuela is one of them.
00:17:50.17\00:17:52.03
They're adapting to
the needs of that country.
00:17:52.07\00:17:54.67
And one of the needs is that
00:17:54.70\00:17:56.10
a lot of people
they need medical care
00:17:56.14\00:17:57.77
because even
hospitals over there,
00:17:57.81\00:17:59.21
they don't have like medications
00:17:59.24\00:18:01.74
or medical supplies etc.
00:18:01.78\00:18:03.24
So they're doing day
clinics in different places
00:18:03.28\00:18:05.78
and they partner
with these other ministry
00:18:05.81\00:18:07.78
that they have doctors
00:18:07.82\00:18:09.72
and they planted a clinic
in one place called Timotes,
00:18:09.75\00:18:13.66
and the day when they actual
00:18:13.69\00:18:16.89
where the truck was
driving towards them,
00:18:16.93\00:18:19.59
towards their clinic,
00:18:19.63\00:18:21.36
the truck was
carrying the medical equipment
00:18:21.40\00:18:23.77
and also the doctors
00:18:23.80\00:18:25.33
three hours before
they getting to the town
00:18:25.37\00:18:29.97
the truck broke down.
00:18:30.01\00:18:32.11
The radiator broke down
and the water was everything,
00:18:32.14\00:18:34.71
the car will not, the
truck will not even start
00:18:34.74\00:18:37.71
and they're deep
in the country uphill,
00:18:37.75\00:18:40.98
so they decided,
00:18:41.02\00:18:42.35
you know what, what can we
do, there's no way and they got,
00:18:42.38\00:18:45.32
everybody got out
and start praying,
00:18:45.35\00:18:47.09
they just start praying,
Lord, this is your clinic.
00:18:47.12\00:18:48.99
What's going on?
00:18:49.02\00:18:50.36
And the driver
gets an impression in
00:18:50.39\00:18:52.09
and he gets in impression like
00:18:52.13\00:18:54.53
get into the truck
started truck and go non-stop.
00:18:54.56\00:18:58.57
So he tells his wife,
00:18:58.60\00:18:59.93
you know, just
get into the truck,
00:18:59.97\00:19:01.37
he gets into the
truck and the truck starts
00:19:01.40\00:19:03.87
and the truck start driving
00:19:03.91\00:19:05.24
and everybody's
just jumping in there
00:19:05.27\00:19:07.01
as they go, as the truck goes,
00:19:07.04\00:19:09.34
you know, the
driver couldn't believe it.
00:19:09.38\00:19:13.21
And they went up hill
00:19:13.25\00:19:15.42
for three hours a
truck without radiator,
00:19:15.45\00:19:18.25
and the driver
couldn't believe it.
00:19:18.29\00:19:19.62
So he closed his
eyes the whole three hours
00:19:19.65\00:19:21.79
so a driver with the eyes closed
00:19:21.82\00:19:24.26
and when he
arrived to the place,
00:19:24.29\00:19:26.03
he just got out of the truck
and just went to the ground
00:19:26.06\00:19:28.66
and just start crying
and saying this is a miracle,
00:19:28.70\00:19:31.07
this is just God could do that.
00:19:31.10\00:19:32.97
So we're seeing
this, this type of things
00:19:33.00\00:19:34.70
because there's young people
00:19:34.74\00:19:36.07
they want to
follow the movement.
00:19:36.10\00:19:37.67
Amen.
00:19:37.71\00:19:39.04
And you know these young people
00:19:39.07\00:19:40.41
they hardly have
food for themselves.
00:19:40.44\00:19:42.64
That's great.
00:19:42.68\00:19:44.01
It's unofficially communists...
00:19:44.05\00:19:45.95
That's right,
they find their ways
00:19:45.98\00:19:47.75
but God is blessing them like
00:19:47.78\00:19:49.45
and people are
seeing miracles day by day.
00:19:49.48\00:19:51.65
Yeah, they feed
their communities,
00:19:51.69\00:19:53.79
have Bible studies
with their communities
00:19:53.82\00:19:55.49
and the Lord just provides
because they're being faithful.
00:19:55.52\00:19:58.53
We're going to
take another flight.
00:19:58.56\00:20:00.43
We're going to go to Europe.
00:20:00.46\00:20:03.26
Tell us about Europe?
00:20:03.30\00:20:05.43
Europe, the
church is in trouble.
00:20:05.47\00:20:10.97
Churches are closing down.
00:20:11.01\00:20:13.91
Some would say
it's on its last legs.
00:20:13.94\00:20:16.78
But I don't think
the church in Europe
00:20:16.81\00:20:18.15
is dead just yet.
00:20:18.18\00:20:19.88
Because there are
faithful young people in Europe
00:20:19.91\00:20:21.95
who have organized GYC
events over the past few years.
00:20:21.98\00:20:27.06
And that's what
I will share about,
00:20:27.09\00:20:28.89
we've had a couple of
GYC UK's focus events there.
00:20:28.92\00:20:32.19
We had a GYC Europe
in Portugal last year.
00:20:32.23\00:20:34.73
And so the
pockets of young people
00:20:34.76\00:20:36.10
they're on fire around Europe,
00:20:36.13\00:20:37.47
they're organized
00:20:37.50\00:20:38.83
and there's other
ministries as well
00:20:38.87\00:20:40.20
that are
organizing these events.
00:20:40.24\00:20:41.64
And this coming year
there's going to be a joint
00:20:41.67\00:20:44.34
for the first time
00:20:44.37\00:20:45.71
GYC Europe and ASI
Europe convention in Poland.
00:20:45.74\00:20:49.94
Wow. Okay.
00:20:49.98\00:20:51.31
I guess the link
between different generations
00:20:51.35\00:20:52.91
will be working together.
00:20:52.95\00:20:54.28
They are in Poland
00:20:54.32\00:20:55.65
at the end of
August 26th to 30th.
00:20:55.68\00:20:58.59
26th to 30th of August.
00:20:58.62\00:21:00.52
Correct.
00:21:00.56\00:21:01.89
Praise the
Lord. Praise the Lord.
00:21:01.92\00:21:03.26
God is working.
00:21:03.29\00:21:04.63
We're going to now
go to the Philippines.
00:21:04.66\00:21:07.33
The Philippines
have been really blessed
00:21:07.36\00:21:09.03
by this movement.
00:21:09.06\00:21:10.40
We were inspired by GYC.
00:21:10.43\00:21:11.77
We are not an
official affiliate yet,
00:21:11.80\00:21:13.13
but soon we will
be GYC Philippines.
00:21:13.17\00:21:14.77
Amen.
00:21:14.80\00:21:16.14
And God has been so good.
00:21:16.17\00:21:17.84
We have been
facing a lot of challenges
00:21:17.87\00:21:19.64
and those challenges
brought us to our knees.
00:21:19.67\00:21:22.04
So prayer is not just an
option in the Philippines.
00:21:22.08\00:21:24.25
It is a lifestyle.
00:21:24.28\00:21:25.85
It's the air that we breathe.
00:21:25.88\00:21:27.38
And one of the
biggest challenges
00:21:27.42\00:21:28.78
is finances.
00:21:28.82\00:21:30.42
And we could not
afford our conference.
00:21:30.45\00:21:33.36
We're kind of self-supporting.
00:21:33.39\00:21:35.59
And we've been doing fundraising
00:21:35.62\00:21:37.53
for how many
years, for five years
00:21:37.56\00:21:39.43
but we see that we
are all stressed out,
00:21:39.46\00:21:41.53
it doesn't really work.
00:21:41.56\00:21:43.03
So we come to the Lord and pray,
00:21:43.06\00:21:44.57
what does the
Lord want us to do?
00:21:44.60\00:21:45.93
And the Lord convicted
us to sacrificially give.
00:21:45.97\00:21:49.50
And these are mostly
students and missionaries
00:21:49.54\00:21:52.47
and nothing much.
00:21:52.51\00:21:54.44
But you know what?
00:21:54.48\00:21:55.81
When we follow the Lord's will,
00:21:55.84\00:21:57.18
the Lord will provide
00:21:57.21\00:21:58.55
and the Lord used
other people who did not,
00:21:58.58\00:22:00.45
whom we did not even ask,
00:22:00.48\00:22:02.08
started giving us money.
00:22:02.12\00:22:03.82
And the Lord just
overflowed us with blessings.
00:22:03.85\00:22:06.12
And we were not just
able to support our conference
00:22:06.15\00:22:08.86
for the next three years
00:22:08.89\00:22:10.29
that we have not
done in any solicitation,
00:22:10.33\00:22:12.63
but we were able to
help out other ministries.
00:22:12.66\00:22:15.73
And it's funny
00:22:15.76\00:22:17.10
because miracles after
miracles have been happening.
00:22:17.13\00:22:19.53
People, our officers
will just count the money.
00:22:19.57\00:22:23.77
That's supposed to
be like 40,000 pesos
00:22:23.81\00:22:26.07
inside the envelope
00:22:26.11\00:22:27.44
and discovered why
did it become 75,000?
00:22:27.48\00:22:30.78
The Lord just has 1,000 of ways
00:22:30.81\00:22:32.75
to provide for us of
which we know nothing.
00:22:32.78\00:22:34.92
We're helping out now
five other youth conferences
00:22:34.95\00:22:40.12
in the country.
00:22:40.16\00:22:41.49
And we helped out
another Youth Conference
00:22:41.52\00:22:43.96
in Cambodia.
00:22:43.99\00:22:45.33
We were not having any
funds and now God multiplied it.
00:22:45.36\00:22:48.76
So Miranda is the one
who has been working with us
00:22:48.80\00:22:52.57
from Cambodia.
00:22:52.60\00:22:53.94
Amen.
00:22:53.97\00:22:55.70
I am Miranda Lundby,
00:22:55.74\00:22:57.07
and I work with Jesus
00:22:57.11\00:22:58.44
for Asia Ministries in Cambodia,
00:22:58.47\00:22:59.81
and I'm here to
represent the youth of Cambodia
00:22:59.84\00:23:03.08
and the youth leaders
00:23:03.11\00:23:04.65
who are not able
to be here and share.
00:23:04.68\00:23:07.15
Due to the support by PYC,
00:23:07.18\00:23:09.78
we were able to have a
youth conference this year.
00:23:09.82\00:23:13.36
And there were some struggles
but due to God's grace,
00:23:13.39\00:23:18.46
and everything
that He's done for us,
00:23:18.49\00:23:20.56
we were able to
have it this last week.
00:23:20.60\00:23:23.06
And the young people
that came were inspired,
00:23:23.10\00:23:26.33
and we were able
to have speakers.
00:23:26.37\00:23:28.87
Again, thanks to PYC.
00:23:28.90\00:23:30.51
Wow.
00:23:30.54\00:23:31.87
And a lot of these
young people have signed up
00:23:31.91\00:23:35.01
to get more missionary
training in the future,
00:23:35.04\00:23:38.71
to become missionaries
in their own country
00:23:38.75\00:23:40.35
because of this event.
00:23:40.38\00:23:41.72
Amen.
00:23:41.75\00:23:43.08
And all of this started
00:23:43.12\00:23:44.45
as a result of
two days of prayer
00:23:44.49\00:23:47.02
in a upper room
00:23:47.06\00:23:48.59
where you were all on mats
00:23:48.62\00:23:50.66
just seeking to glorify God,
00:23:50.69\00:23:53.03
just seeking what would
bring a smile to your face God.
00:23:53.06\00:23:56.40
And God's been providing.
00:23:56.43\00:23:58.07
Thank you for sharing.
00:23:58.10\00:23:59.57
You know, these are
not all the affiliates.
00:23:59.60\00:24:02.44
We have GYC Canada.
00:24:02.47\00:24:04.77
And God is working
all over the world.
00:24:04.81\00:24:07.61
He's working in Australia.
00:24:07.64\00:24:09.14
He's working all over.
00:24:09.18\00:24:11.01
He's working in
your neighborhood,
00:24:11.05\00:24:13.18
and He's not calling you,
00:24:13.21\00:24:15.85
He's not asking
how capable you feel.
00:24:15.88\00:24:22.19
He's simply giving you hope,
00:24:22.22\00:24:24.49
and allowing you to
share that hope with others.
00:24:24.53\00:24:27.23
And being
faithful, He will provide,
00:24:27.26\00:24:29.40
don't seek the big and the grand
00:24:29.43\00:24:32.03
seek faithfulness,
00:24:32.07\00:24:33.60
and God will provide.
00:24:33.64\00:24:35.37
Thank you.
00:24:35.40\00:24:38.41
Good evening, everybody.
00:24:38.44\00:24:40.08
Good evening.
00:24:40.11\00:24:41.44
And are you guys excited to hear
00:24:41.48\00:24:43.41
three more
testimonies from our each day?
00:24:43.45\00:24:46.11
Amen.
00:24:46.15\00:24:47.48
I love testimonies.
00:24:47.52\00:24:49.35
I have three
groups of partners here
00:24:49.38\00:24:52.62
that went out in outreach.
00:24:52.65\00:24:54.72
And if you stick to the end,
00:24:54.76\00:24:56.09
I will tell you
all the statistics
00:24:56.12\00:24:58.53
that you each been waiting for.
00:24:58.56\00:25:00.76
Our first group is
Neu Celeste and Christy,
00:25:00.80\00:25:05.63
tell me what
happened at the first door?
00:25:05.67\00:25:08.90
Let's show the photo as well.
00:25:08.94\00:25:11.67
So we knocked on
this door and they opened
00:25:11.71\00:25:15.74
and we noticed that
the parents are refugees
00:25:15.78\00:25:19.25
from Nepal
00:25:19.28\00:25:20.62
and they did not
speak any English,
00:25:20.65\00:25:22.58
but they have a
teenager daughter
00:25:22.62\00:25:24.82
that does.
00:25:24.85\00:25:26.19
So you met a
Nepali's refugee family.
00:25:26.22\00:25:28.72
They didn't speak any
English, but the daughter did.
00:25:28.76\00:25:32.39
And you started
asking questions.
00:25:32.43\00:25:35.33
And did she respond?
00:25:35.36\00:25:37.90
Yes, she started
signing up for like everything.
00:25:37.93\00:25:39.87
So I started thinking
00:25:39.90\00:25:41.24
she just wanted to
get rid of this real fast.
00:25:41.27\00:25:42.80
She's like, yes, yes, yes, yes
00:25:42.84\00:25:44.34
to all the things that
we were offering to them,
00:25:44.37\00:25:47.81
including all
the spiritual needs
00:25:47.84\00:25:50.91
and the health needs.
00:25:50.95\00:25:52.91
But then she started
opening up about her family,
00:25:52.95\00:25:56.22
they also
struggle with diabetes,
00:25:56.25\00:25:58.42
but I could say
that house smells great,
00:25:58.45\00:26:00.19
when she opened the door,
00:26:00.22\00:26:01.56
I could just smell
that dinner was on the way.
00:26:01.59\00:26:05.86
So then she
started talking about...
00:26:05.89\00:26:09.60
You guys had a
spiritual conversation.
00:26:09.63\00:26:11.33
I'm going to
come over to Christy,
00:26:11.37\00:26:13.23
and what did she share with you?
00:26:13.27\00:26:16.67
Well, she shared with us
00:26:16.71\00:26:18.04
that their family's
actually is having an issue
00:26:18.07\00:26:21.04
with the church right
now that they're going to
00:26:21.08\00:26:22.74
and are looking
for a local church,
00:26:22.78\00:26:24.48
a new church to go to and so,
00:26:24.51\00:26:26.72
we're like really excited
00:26:26.75\00:26:28.08
because we came
at the right time
00:26:28.12\00:26:29.55
just for them.
00:26:29.58\00:26:30.92
Amen.
00:26:30.95\00:26:32.29
We were there.
00:26:32.32\00:26:33.66
What did this experience
00:26:33.69\00:26:35.02
with this family teach you guys?
00:26:35.06\00:26:37.56
Honestly, yesterday,
we were just walking out
00:26:37.59\00:26:40.26
and outside and it's raining
00:26:40.30\00:26:42.33
and it just had me
thinking about Jesus.
00:26:42.36\00:26:44.90
You know how He walked
and He went for people,
00:26:44.93\00:26:50.04
like, He went for
us, like He walked
00:26:50.07\00:26:51.47
just so that we
can hear the good news.
00:26:51.51\00:26:53.38
And it just
allowed me to understand
00:26:53.41\00:26:55.11
a little bit of
how much God loves us.
00:26:55.14\00:26:57.85
Amen.
00:26:57.88\00:26:59.21
Thank you,
Christy and Celeste Nue.
00:26:59.25\00:27:01.22
My next pair is
Daniel and David.
00:27:01.25\00:27:04.69
David and Daniel.
00:27:04.72\00:27:06.09
Okay, tell me,
Daniel, where are you from?
00:27:06.12\00:27:10.16
I'm from Singapore.
00:27:10.19\00:27:11.79
And how many
GYCs have you been to?
00:27:11.83\00:27:14.33
This is my first ever GYC.
00:27:14.36\00:27:17.67
First GYC from Singapore
and you met somebody in your...
00:27:17.70\00:27:23.44
on your map,
who was this person?
00:27:23.47\00:27:26.34
Um, so she was
basically a former Adventist,
00:27:26.37\00:27:29.71
and she went on
and off to church.
00:27:29.74\00:27:32.31
And I think
00:27:32.35\00:27:34.45
God really answered our prayers,
00:27:34.48\00:27:35.82
because before
this outreach we were,
00:27:35.85\00:27:39.09
I was praying that
I would want to get
00:27:39.12\00:27:41.96
some experience out of it.
00:27:41.99\00:27:43.32
And I think
00:27:43.36\00:27:44.69
God really did
answer our prayers.
00:27:44.73\00:27:46.56
Yeah. So you met
a former Adventist.
00:27:46.59\00:27:48.90
Let's talk a little bit more.
00:27:48.93\00:27:50.93
David, tell me what
happened at that door?
00:27:50.97\00:27:54.27
Yes, so we met with her
00:27:54.30\00:27:56.17
and she's been
sort of disconnected
00:27:56.20\00:27:57.74
with the church
00:27:57.77\00:27:59.11
and she didn't know
what she needs to do.
00:27:59.14\00:28:01.08
And she never
heard about GYC at all,
00:28:01.11\00:28:03.11
even though she moved
here about a year ago.
00:28:03.14\00:28:05.31
And so we spoke to her,
00:28:05.35\00:28:06.68
she was, I asked
her if she's through,
00:28:06.72\00:28:09.65
you don't need a
Bible study, right?
00:28:09.68\00:28:11.02
And she was like,
00:28:11.05\00:28:12.39
"No, I actually
really need a Bible study."
00:28:12.42\00:28:13.99
So we offered a Bible study,
00:28:14.02\00:28:16.29
we pray with her
00:28:16.32\00:28:17.66
and matter of
fact that when we left,
00:28:17.69\00:28:19.79
she was so happy to see us
and to be reconnected with us
00:28:19.83\00:28:23.10
and she wanted to
come to GYC today,
00:28:23.13\00:28:25.50
unfortunately, right
before, right after we left,
00:28:25.53\00:28:29.14
she got a call
00:28:29.17\00:28:30.51
from her son's
basketball team coach saying,
00:28:30.54\00:28:33.48
hey, the game just moved
00:28:33.51\00:28:35.74
from Sunday to Saturday morning.
00:28:35.78\00:28:39.75
And she was not able
to come to GYC today.
00:28:39.78\00:28:43.05
So it's clear that we have,
00:28:43.08\00:28:44.85
we are up against
the great controversy
00:28:44.89\00:28:48.12
as we're at the doors,
00:28:48.16\00:28:50.19
because you
exchanged numbers with her
00:28:50.23\00:28:52.29
and she was
excited to come today.
00:28:52.33\00:28:54.46
But some plans just changed.
00:28:54.50\00:28:56.70
What should we do for her?
00:28:56.73\00:28:58.37
I really, really believe
00:28:58.40\00:29:00.24
that just like
what we did at GYC,
00:29:00.27\00:29:02.00
we need to really pray
for her without a doubt.
00:29:02.04\00:29:04.84
As a group, we
think we pray for her.
00:29:04.87\00:29:07.28
She will truly
come closer to Christ.
00:29:07.31\00:29:09.34
Amen.
00:29:09.38\00:29:10.71
Let's keep our
contacts in prayer.
00:29:10.75\00:29:12.91
Thank you, David and Daniel.
00:29:12.95\00:29:14.78
Our final group.
00:29:14.82\00:29:16.38
You guys went on outreach,
00:29:16.42\00:29:18.12
and something really
interesting happened.
00:29:18.15\00:29:20.79
Tell me what was going on?
00:29:20.82\00:29:23.63
Well, we were in a
lower income community.
00:29:23.66\00:29:27.73
So we were just
basically knocking on doors
00:29:27.76\00:29:30.80
and handing out some literature.
00:29:30.83\00:29:32.23
And we got down the first street
00:29:32.27\00:29:34.64
and there was a lot of people,
00:29:34.67\00:29:36.00
I think that were either
scared to come to the door,
00:29:36.04\00:29:38.87
because of the
community that it was,
00:29:38.91\00:29:41.78
or they just weren't at home.
00:29:41.81\00:29:43.68
So we prayed in
front of every house.
00:29:43.71\00:29:45.68
And that kind of
slowed us down a little bit,
00:29:45.71\00:29:47.42
but I thought it was necessary.
00:29:47.45\00:29:49.35
And when we got done
with the first street,
00:29:49.38\00:29:51.22
time was running short.
00:29:51.25\00:29:52.59
So we were like,
00:29:52.62\00:29:53.96
I don't know if
we'll be able to do
00:29:53.99\00:29:55.32
the next street
in the allowed time.
00:29:55.36\00:29:57.49
But we just
stopped and we prayed
00:29:57.53\00:29:59.03
that God would
bring people to us,
00:29:59.06\00:30:01.23
or at least show us
the divine appointments
00:30:01.26\00:30:02.93
that He had set up.
00:30:02.96\00:30:04.50
So as you did that,
00:30:04.53\00:30:05.87
you prayed for more people
and then something happened?
00:30:05.90\00:30:10.47
Yeah, all of a sudden,
00:30:10.51\00:30:12.01
people started
coming out of their house.
00:30:12.04\00:30:14.81
Or we'd be walking by
and the doors like wide open
00:30:14.84\00:30:17.28
and their storm
doors just closed.
00:30:17.31\00:30:19.71
And you can see
right through it,
00:30:19.75\00:30:21.08
see him walking
around in the house.
00:30:21.12\00:30:23.28
And cars would pull up,
they'd get out of the car,
00:30:23.32\00:30:26.25
and we just ran
right up to them,
00:30:26.29\00:30:28.39
you know, does this
back zigzag back and forth.
00:30:28.42\00:30:30.46
And I think we got a
lot more accomplished.
00:30:30.49\00:30:32.66
And there's one woman
that really stuck out to us
00:30:32.69\00:30:35.06
because somebody,
00:30:35.10\00:30:36.43
somebody she's
related to is just leaving.
00:30:36.46\00:30:38.53
And he's like, yeah,
just go up and talk to her.
00:30:38.57\00:30:40.24
She's there.
00:30:40.27\00:30:41.60
So we went up to the door,
00:30:41.64\00:30:42.97
and we just like waved, and she,
00:30:43.00\00:30:44.34
the door is wide
open, she come to the door,
00:30:44.37\00:30:46.47
and we started
talking and she's like,
00:30:46.51\00:30:48.81
"I'm 65 years old.
00:30:48.84\00:30:50.18
I'm pretty much done
with religion stuff."
00:30:50.21\00:30:52.05
And so we just talked
00:30:52.08\00:30:53.92
and all of a sudden we
asked if we could pray for her.
00:30:53.95\00:30:56.05
And so we prayed
with her on some things
00:30:56.08\00:30:57.72
that were on her heart
00:30:57.75\00:30:59.09
and right as
we're going to leave
00:30:59.12\00:31:00.52
she was like, I'm
so glad I didn't go
00:31:00.56\00:31:01.92
and hide from you guys.
00:31:01.96\00:31:03.29
I'm glad I opened the door.
00:31:03.32\00:31:04.66
And it was just a blessing.
00:31:04.69\00:31:06.06
Amen.
00:31:06.09\00:31:07.43
Now, this is your...
00:31:07.46\00:31:08.80
How many times
have you been to GYC?
00:31:08.83\00:31:11.37
This is my first one.
00:31:11.40\00:31:13.13
Amen. And when
were you baptized?
00:31:13.17\00:31:16.30
May of 2019.
00:31:16.34\00:31:18.14
Amen.
00:31:18.17\00:31:19.51
So this is your...
00:31:19.54\00:31:20.88
You were recently baptized,
you went out on outreach.
00:31:20.91\00:31:23.11
Amen.
00:31:23.14\00:31:24.48
Had a great experience.
00:31:24.51\00:31:26.11
I wanted to speak.
00:31:26.15\00:31:27.52
Thank you, Gage.
00:31:27.55\00:31:28.88
Let me speak quickly to Sharon.
00:31:28.92\00:31:30.79
When you guys were, you
could stand on my right.
00:31:30.82\00:31:33.62
When you guys went on this
and people started coming out,
00:31:33.66\00:31:36.93
what did it make you think of?
00:31:36.96\00:31:38.76
It actually made
me think of Noah's Ark
00:31:38.79\00:31:42.36
when God brought the
animals to the ark to be saved
00:31:42.40\00:31:45.93
because all of a sudden
00:31:45.97\00:31:47.30
there were people in the streets
00:31:47.34\00:31:48.74
that weren't there
before, before we prayed.
00:31:48.77\00:31:51.71
Amen.
00:31:51.74\00:31:53.07
The Lord will literally bring us
00:31:53.11\00:31:54.51
to people.
00:31:54.54\00:31:55.88
Now if we can go
to the next slide,
00:31:55.91\00:31:58.61
I have some trash
bins from a local church.
00:31:58.65\00:32:02.48
This is some of the donations
that have come this morning.
00:32:02.52\00:32:05.65
Amen?
00:32:05.69\00:32:07.26
And next slide is some of our,
00:32:07.29\00:32:12.43
the results from our survey.
00:32:12.46\00:32:14.30
And if you look on the screens,
00:32:14.33\00:32:15.96
you'll see that
people chose exercise
00:32:16.00\00:32:18.80
and weight loss,
stress management,
00:32:18.83\00:32:21.27
improving heart health,
00:32:21.30\00:32:22.80
financial counseling.
00:32:22.84\00:32:25.07
You guys can always
go back to this video.
00:32:25.11\00:32:26.78
Let's go to the last one.
00:32:26.81\00:32:28.94
Last slide.
00:32:28.98\00:32:31.21
We had over 1,400,
00:32:31.25\00:32:34.02
we had 34 buses that went out,
1,440 outreach participants,
00:32:34.05\00:32:40.36
and let's just pass out
nearly 55,000 GLOW tracts.
00:32:40.39\00:32:47.36
And over 486 people
wanted Bible studies.
00:32:47.40\00:32:51.40
I really want to point out
00:32:51.43\00:32:53.03
that there's 210 people
00:32:53.07\00:32:55.14
interested in
attending a local church.
00:32:55.17\00:32:58.21
Amen?
00:32:58.24\00:32:59.57
And 156 are
interested in a pastoral
00:32:59.61\00:33:02.41
or local church
member to go and visit them.
00:33:02.44\00:33:06.41
I pray for these contacts.
00:33:06.45\00:33:07.98
Please keep them in prayer
00:33:08.02\00:33:09.35
and I have some homework
to go back to the pastors
00:33:09.38\00:33:12.19
and say, I've done something,
00:33:12.22\00:33:14.79
or GYC has done
something for Louisville
00:33:14.82\00:33:17.63
and we're hoping
that you guys follow up.
00:33:17.66\00:33:20.43
Amen.
00:33:20.46\00:33:22.20
Have a blessed
evening, everyone.
00:33:22.23\00:33:23.77
For those of you who are curious
00:33:29.37\00:33:30.71
on the new incoming leadership.
00:33:30.74\00:33:34.54
Come on up, come on up. Oh, yes.
00:33:34.58\00:33:35.91
Get ready, it's good,
good, good, good, good.
00:33:35.94\00:33:37.81
I have a stats here.
00:33:37.85\00:33:39.98
They range from ages 20 to 32,
00:33:40.02\00:33:43.89
average age 25.34.
00:33:43.92\00:33:48.12
They come from
all different aspects
00:33:48.16\00:33:49.76
and we have three
reoccurring officers.
00:33:49.79\00:33:51.96
I like to just
give the mike to them
00:33:51.99\00:33:54.06
and give them an
opportunity to say who they are
00:33:54.10\00:33:56.00
and a little
bit about their bio.
00:33:56.03\00:33:58.53

And Andrew
Park, a new president.
00:34:51.65\00:34:53.49
Student at
Michigan State University.
00:34:53.52\00:34:56.39
We're asking all
of you here today
00:34:56.42\00:34:58.19
to hold these
young people accountable
00:34:58.23\00:35:00.53
through your prayers.
00:35:00.56\00:35:01.96
I want to ask you
00:35:02.00\00:35:03.33
that if you're
willing to partner
00:35:03.37\00:35:04.70
in prayer with
us to pray for them,
00:35:04.73\00:35:06.07
you can just raise
your hands at this moment.
00:35:06.10\00:35:09.80
I want you all
to see these hands
00:35:09.84\00:35:12.47
that not only
are you before God,
00:35:12.51\00:35:14.34
but you're also
before God's people.
00:35:14.38\00:35:16.48
And these people
are promising before God
00:35:16.51\00:35:19.21
to pray for you for
these next coming years.
00:35:19.25\00:35:22.22
I want to ask that
when the times get rough,
00:35:22.25\00:35:26.19
that you remember
the legacy of GYC.
00:35:26.22\00:35:29.96
That legacy is
not some organization
00:35:29.99\00:35:33.03
or some institution,
00:35:33.06\00:35:35.03
but it is other e-com officers
00:35:35.06\00:35:38.30
who have gone before you
00:35:38.33\00:35:40.14
who have sacrificed marriages,
00:35:40.17\00:35:43.30
who have put
off having children,
00:35:43.34\00:35:46.11
who have sacrificed
careers for this movement.
00:35:46.14\00:35:52.45
And when you
think about the mentors
00:35:52.48\00:35:54.02
who inspired them,
00:35:54.05\00:35:55.98
the other gallant
warriors out there
00:35:56.02\00:35:57.52
and the level of sacrifice.
00:35:57.55\00:35:58.99
And you think about the
people who inspired them
00:35:59.02\00:36:01.16
and then them
00:36:01.19\00:36:02.52
and then just keep
going to the pioneers
00:36:02.56\00:36:04.53
of the Adventist Church.
00:36:04.56\00:36:06.53
The people who sacrificed
for the first great awakening,
00:36:06.56\00:36:09.03
those who sacrifice
during the Middle Ages
00:36:09.06\00:36:11.13
throughout the
great controversy.
00:36:11.17\00:36:13.47
And you go to the early church,
00:36:13.50\00:36:15.80
each one has been given,
00:36:15.84\00:36:18.31
entrusted the responsibility
00:36:18.34\00:36:20.58
of spreading the
three angels' message.
00:36:20.61\00:36:22.31
Think, remember these things.
00:36:22.34\00:36:26.08
There's going to be
some days where like,
00:36:26.11\00:36:27.45
I don't feel like it.
00:36:27.48\00:36:29.98
Man, Andrew is annoying.
00:36:30.02\00:36:33.92
Man, why can't
Juliana just get it?
00:36:33.96\00:36:37.53
Why does Juliana and
Bailey look like each other?
00:36:37.56\00:36:40.86
That's like these
questions that you ask first.
00:36:40.90\00:36:43.00
Those are the
moments where you remember.
00:36:46.70\00:36:49.44
Nehemiah Chapter 9.
00:36:49.47\00:36:51.77
And you go back
00:36:51.81\00:36:53.14
to how this movement all began
00:36:53.17\00:36:54.84
with Jesus Christ and
His level of sacrifice.
00:36:54.88\00:36:58.75
I'm going to ask
Israel can come up and pray
00:36:58.78\00:37:01.05
for our new
incoming Executive Committee.
00:37:01.08\00:37:04.95
Let's bow our heads for prayer.
00:37:04.99\00:37:08.39
Our gracious Father in heaven,
00:37:08.42\00:37:10.83
we pray upon
this group of people,
00:37:10.86\00:37:13.66
your greatest
blessing, showers of blessing.
00:37:13.70\00:37:17.70
Father, we pray that
they would have open eyes
00:37:17.73\00:37:20.37
to see the weight
of the responsibility
00:37:20.40\00:37:22.40
that now rests upon them,
00:37:22.44\00:37:24.97
a responsibility
that is not calling them
00:37:25.01\00:37:27.54
to please men and women.
00:37:27.58\00:37:30.31
But it's calling them to
please the great Almighty God
00:37:30.35\00:37:33.72
of the universe.
00:37:33.75\00:37:35.62
Father, we pray for a
burden so heavy upon them
00:37:35.65\00:37:38.32
that it forces them
to fall on their knees,
00:37:38.35\00:37:41.52
looking heavenward
00:37:41.56\00:37:43.16
for grace to carry this movement
00:37:43.19\00:37:45.69
to the next point
in earth's history.
00:37:45.73\00:37:48.56
And, Lord, we pray
00:37:48.60\00:37:50.37
that this fear that
they have of messing this up,
00:37:50.40\00:37:53.94
would accompany them
mingled with the grace,
00:37:53.97\00:37:56.57
the knowledge
of the grace of God
00:37:56.60\00:37:58.51
that is ever
present always abiding
00:37:58.54\00:38:01.34
and enough to give
them the power to accomplish
00:38:01.38\00:38:04.31
every task that
you've called them to do.
00:38:04.35\00:38:07.12
Bless them in every
aspect of their lives.
00:38:07.15\00:38:09.88
And most importantly, Father,
00:38:09.92\00:38:11.25
we pray that they
would be faithful to You
00:38:11.29\00:38:13.66
even unto death.
00:38:13.69\00:38:15.16
This is our prayer
in Jesus' name, amen.
00:38:15.19\00:38:17.89
Did you like the video?
00:39:09.61\00:39:12.51
That was done in
just a few short days.
00:39:12.55\00:39:14.98
We thank Nick and
his wonderful team
00:39:15.02\00:39:16.58
for helping to create that
in just a short amount of time.
00:39:16.62\00:39:21.02
Once again, my
name is Andrew Park,
00:39:21.06\00:39:23.02
and I'm a student in Michigan.
00:39:23.06\00:39:26.36
And we as a
team are very excited
00:39:26.39\00:39:29.23
to volunteer for
GYC in this capacity.
00:39:29.26\00:39:33.37
As you saw in the video,
00:39:33.40\00:39:35.07
GYC is going through
changes in multiple ways.
00:39:35.10\00:39:40.34
We're currently going
through a restructuring
00:39:40.38\00:39:42.74
of the Executive Committee.
00:39:42.78\00:39:44.35
And we are also going
through as you've seen before,
00:39:44.38\00:39:46.95
a very big transition
in terms of leadership.
00:39:46.98\00:39:50.52
And with that being
said, in all transparency,
00:39:50.55\00:39:54.26
we're still working
00:39:54.29\00:39:55.62
through the
future direction of GYC.
00:39:55.66\00:39:58.96
Things may look very different,
00:39:58.99\00:40:00.96
or things may
not change very much.
00:40:01.00\00:40:03.26
We're still not
sure at this time.
00:40:03.30\00:40:06.80
But here's one
thing that we do know,
00:40:06.84\00:40:09.47
this movement started in
2002 to inspire young people
00:40:09.50\00:40:14.51
to commit and to have excellence
00:40:14.54\00:40:16.95
in their Christian walk.
00:40:16.98\00:40:18.91
And right now we just entered
into 2021, when was that?
00:40:18.95\00:40:21.68
Just a couple of days ago 2020.
00:40:21.72\00:40:24.39
And we
recognize that the society
00:40:24.42\00:40:26.12
and young people of 2020
00:40:26.15\00:40:28.82
is different than 2002.
00:40:28.86\00:40:30.93
We're talking
about late millennials
00:40:30.96\00:40:32.79
and Gen Z.
00:40:32.83\00:40:35.13
And we want God to show us
00:40:35.16\00:40:37.93
how to
challenge the young people
00:40:37.97\00:40:40.20
of this generation
to get activated for Him
00:40:40.24\00:40:43.10
and activated for His cause.
00:40:43.14\00:40:45.77
If you can please turn with
me to 2 Corinthians 5:14 and 15.
00:40:45.81\00:40:50.55
This is the theme text
for next year's conference.
00:40:50.58\00:40:54.38
2 Corinthians 5:14 and 15.
00:40:54.42\00:40:58.12
When you're
there you can say amen.
00:41:11.43\00:41:16.14
And it reads,
00:41:16.17\00:41:18.37
"For the love of
Christ compels us,
00:41:18.41\00:41:22.08
because we judge thus:
that if One died for all,
00:41:22.11\00:41:25.65
then all died,
00:41:25.68\00:41:27.98
and He died for all,
00:41:28.02\00:41:29.48
that those who live
00:41:29.52\00:41:30.92
should live no
longer for themselves,
00:41:30.95\00:41:33.19
but for Him who died
for them and rose again."
00:41:33.22\00:41:37.83
Our theme for this upcoming year
00:41:37.86\00:41:39.59
is compelled.
00:41:39.63\00:41:42.06
You know, it's really easy,
00:41:42.10\00:41:43.43
it's almost too easy
to have ulterior motives
00:41:43.47\00:41:46.30
for serving God.
00:41:46.33\00:41:47.67
You know, we may feel
guilt, we may feel like
00:41:47.70\00:41:49.97
okay, this is the
only thing I have to do.
00:41:50.01\00:41:51.54
This is the only
choice, maybe pressure,
00:41:51.57\00:41:54.58
maybe tradition,
00:41:54.61\00:41:55.94
but we don't want
these to be the motivations
00:41:55.98\00:41:57.68
for following God.
00:41:57.71\00:42:00.22
If you can look here,
what's, where's the logo,
00:42:00.25\00:42:02.48
is the logo up here?
00:42:02.52\00:42:05.79
The logo is a cross,
but it's a cross in motion.
00:42:05.82\00:42:11.26
And the reason why
this team chose this logo
00:42:11.29\00:42:13.66
is because the
writer who is Paul,
00:42:13.70\00:42:16.90
who wrote the
Book of Corinthians,
00:42:16.93\00:42:18.63
he said, he wants
us to be compelled.
00:42:18.67\00:42:21.14
He wants us to be
moved to follow God.
00:42:21.17\00:42:24.01
And he wants our decision
to follow God to be a byproduct
00:42:24.04\00:42:27.58
of a natural
experience with Jesus,
00:42:27.61\00:42:30.41
and the Holy Spirit's
working on our hearts.
00:42:30.45\00:42:34.35
You know, I
don't know about you,
00:42:34.38\00:42:36.12
but I've, I feel like I've
seen a lot of amazing things
00:42:36.15\00:42:38.55
here in Louisville,
00:42:38.59\00:42:39.92
a lot of people
making decisions,
00:42:39.95\00:42:41.56
a lot of people coming up
for decisions for baptism,
00:42:41.59\00:42:44.33
and also for missions.
00:42:44.36\00:42:45.69
And I see the Holy
Spirit working on this place.
00:42:45.73\00:42:48.03
And as I'm amazed to see
00:42:48.06\00:42:49.40
how God is
working in Louisville,
00:42:49.43\00:42:52.33
we ask that you may pray with us
00:42:52.37\00:42:54.80
that God can
help us to understand
00:42:54.84\00:42:57.67
His vision for GYC
00:42:57.71\00:42:59.94
on how to inspire young people
00:42:59.97\00:43:02.08
to take sacrificial
initiative for Christ,
00:43:02.11\00:43:04.65
and to help hasten
the coming of the Lord
00:43:04.68\00:43:07.38
in this generation.
00:43:07.42\00:43:08.75
Thank you. Amen.
00:43:08.78\00:43:10.12
Amen.
00:43:10.15\00:43:11.49
Well, this is the
last night of GYC.
00:43:16.36\00:43:19.43
But you know what?
00:43:19.46\00:43:20.90
The spirit of GYC
should never stop.
00:43:20.93\00:43:23.40
We should bring it back home.
00:43:23.43\00:43:25.13
If we, all of us
could come together
00:43:25.17\00:43:27.20
and pray even
though we're apart.
00:43:27.24\00:43:29.40
And for those of you
who wants to get connected,
00:43:29.44\00:43:32.04
I know there's a lot of people
00:43:32.07\00:43:34.08
who have been
brothers and sisters
00:43:34.11\00:43:35.44
in the prayer room.
00:43:35.48\00:43:36.81
In our app, identify,
00:43:36.85\00:43:38.51
if you click the
schedule for united prayer,
00:43:38.55\00:43:40.32
there's a link there
that would lead you to sign up
00:43:40.35\00:43:43.28
for a prayer call.
00:43:43.32\00:43:44.65
So we'll work on that.
00:43:44.69\00:43:46.02
And for those of
you who wants to bring
00:43:46.05\00:43:48.02
10 days of
prayer in your church,
00:43:48.06\00:43:49.82
in your communities,
or even in your home,
00:43:49.86\00:43:51.89
please visit the
Revival and Reformation booth
00:43:51.93\00:43:54.46
and you will receive
flyers and more information.
00:43:54.50\00:43:57.20
And for those of
you who have missed out
00:43:57.23\00:43:59.63
on coming together
and praying together,
00:43:59.67\00:44:01.60
we have our last
united prayer tonight
00:44:01.64\00:44:05.04
in the prayer
room from 9 to 10 pm.
00:44:05.07\00:44:07.84
Can you say amen?
00:44:07.88\00:44:09.81
Wow, just imagine if
all this congregation here
00:44:09.84\00:44:12.61
will be there.
00:44:12.65\00:44:13.98
It will be amazing.
00:44:14.02\00:44:15.35
And tonight,
00:44:15.38\00:44:16.72
I'd like to present to you
00:44:16.75\00:44:18.09
people whose
lives have been blessed
00:44:18.12\00:44:19.89
and have been a
blessing to the church
00:44:19.92\00:44:22.52
because of GYC
00:44:22.56\00:44:23.89
and because of
the prayer ministry.
00:44:23.93\00:44:25.83
Rachel, tell us
about your experience
00:44:25.86\00:44:28.13
at last GYC that
you have attended?
00:44:28.16\00:44:30.27
Well, united prayer
has really impacted my
00:44:30.30\00:44:32.63
involvement with the church,
00:44:32.67\00:44:34.47
because two, three years ago,
00:44:34.50\00:44:36.77
I wasn't really a
part of the church.
00:44:36.81\00:44:39.04
I was just there.
00:44:39.07\00:44:40.81
But now I'm doing things
00:44:40.84\00:44:42.61
such as playing the
piano for the church.
00:44:42.64\00:44:45.41
I led out
00:44:45.45\00:44:46.78
a Bible Sabbath
School study once
00:44:46.82\00:44:48.78
and I also led out vespers.
00:44:48.82\00:44:50.65
Wow! How old are you?
00:44:50.69\00:44:52.02
I am 16.
00:44:52.05\00:44:53.39
She's 16 years old.
00:44:53.42\00:44:54.76
And by the way,
00:44:54.79\00:44:56.12
Rachel gave her
life to the Lord.
00:44:56.16\00:44:57.96
She decided to be
baptized last night.
00:44:57.99\00:44:59.59
So pray for Rachel. Amen?
00:44:59.63\00:45:02.40
And by the way,
00:45:02.43\00:45:03.77
Rachel is not the youngest
00:45:03.80\00:45:05.13
to lead out in a prayer session.
00:45:05.17\00:45:07.80
Tell me about your friend?
00:45:07.84\00:45:09.17
My friend Vanessa,
she is now 12 years old.
00:45:09.20\00:45:12.31
And she led out,
00:45:12.34\00:45:14.08
you know, her
first united prayer
00:45:14.11\00:45:15.68
when she was 11.
00:45:15.71\00:45:17.38
And she prayed
00:45:17.41\00:45:18.75
that all the older youth
00:45:18.78\00:45:20.88
that left the
church could come back.
00:45:20.92\00:45:22.58
And recently we
have been seeing that
00:45:22.62\00:45:24.69
and it's just been a blessing.
00:45:24.72\00:45:26.52
Can you say amen to that?
00:45:26.55\00:45:28.76
The Lord hears and answers
the prayer of young people.
00:45:28.79\00:45:31.86
Thank you so much, Rachel.
00:45:31.89\00:45:33.83
Josiah, tell me
about your story.
00:45:33.86\00:45:36.06
So I've always had this
goal to finish the whole Bible.
00:45:36.10\00:45:40.47
And as a kid,
00:45:40.50\00:45:41.84
I would pick up the Bible
00:45:41.87\00:45:43.20
and wouldn't have enough stamina
00:45:43.24\00:45:44.84
to get through a whole text.
00:45:44.87\00:45:47.24
But now as we took
these sessions home,
00:45:47.28\00:45:50.15
and we prayed
about it all the time,
00:45:50.18\00:45:53.31
God gave us guidance
00:45:53.35\00:45:54.68
in being able to
finish the whole Bible.
00:45:54.72\00:45:56.85
Wow.
00:45:56.89\00:45:58.22
So you've
finished reading the Bible?
00:45:58.25\00:45:59.59
Yes.
00:45:59.62\00:46:00.96
Well, praise the Lord.
00:46:00.99\00:46:02.32
And tell me about another friend
00:46:02.36\00:46:04.23
who's younger
than Vanessa's friend
00:46:04.26\00:46:06.09
who's leading out united prayer?
00:46:06.13\00:46:07.80
So we have this young,
00:46:07.83\00:46:10.33
she's young, and
her name is Melody.
00:46:10.37\00:46:13.13
And she was only 10
years old when she led out.
00:46:13.17\00:46:16.44
Ten years old.
00:46:16.47\00:46:17.81
So what did it to your group
00:46:17.84\00:46:19.64
seeing a 10-year old
lead out united prayer.
00:46:19.67\00:46:22.18
So us seeing this
really gave us hope
00:46:22.21\00:46:25.01
that you don't have to be
any age to have God's love.
00:46:25.05\00:46:29.22
Amen, friends?
00:46:29.25\00:46:31.19
Age is not an issue.
00:46:31.22\00:46:33.46
Age is not a limit.
00:46:33.49\00:46:35.26
Age is a blessing. Amen?
00:46:35.29\00:46:36.76
That's why I'm
doing it until now.
00:46:36.79\00:46:39.19
Thank you so much, Josiah.
00:46:39.23\00:46:41.30
So Brother Steve,
00:46:41.33\00:46:42.66
tell us what has
it done to your church
00:46:42.70\00:46:45.17
seeing this
group of young people
00:46:45.20\00:46:47.07
leading out praying together?
00:46:47.10\00:46:49.40
It's really
revitalized the church,
00:46:49.44\00:46:53.38
the program its life
00:46:53.41\00:46:54.78
just because now
we're putting the ownership
00:46:54.81\00:46:56.98
into the young people's hands.
00:46:57.01\00:46:58.35
Wow.
00:46:58.38\00:46:59.71
Young people
leading in the church,
00:46:59.75\00:47:02.05
how many people gather together
in times of the united prayer?
00:47:02.08\00:47:05.45
Will have anywhere
from 15 to about 25.
00:47:05.49\00:47:08.56
Actually, I attended
one of their united prayer
00:47:08.59\00:47:10.69
and I was blown away,
00:47:10.73\00:47:12.06
there were more than
25 people who were there,
00:47:12.09\00:47:14.30
coming together.
00:47:14.33\00:47:15.66
And how long have
you been doing this?
00:47:15.70\00:47:17.10
We've been doing this all
year ever since the last GYC.
00:47:17.13\00:47:20.84
Since last GYC,
00:47:20.87\00:47:22.74
talking about
consistency, God is good.
00:47:22.77\00:47:24.67
Amen?
00:47:24.71\00:47:26.11
Friends, see what has
it done to this church.
00:47:26.14\00:47:28.31
So this group of young people
to this group of church goers,
00:47:28.34\00:47:33.75
and now their
lives have been changed.
00:47:33.78\00:47:35.95
There's the fire
that has been lit
00:47:35.98\00:47:37.49
and could never be put out.
00:47:37.52\00:47:39.39
God is good, amen?
00:47:39.42\00:47:41.52
So I'd like to
invite everyone here.
00:47:41.56\00:47:44.93
Let's spend a few
moments on our knees.
00:47:44.96\00:47:48.33
We will ask that
the Lord will give us
00:47:48.36\00:47:50.00
the same experience
00:47:50.03\00:47:51.37
that He has given
this group of young people
00:47:51.40\00:47:53.80
or even more
00:47:53.84\00:47:55.17
because there's no
limit to what the Lord can do.
00:47:55.20\00:47:58.41
Amen?
00:47:58.44\00:47:59.77
Let's kneel down
forward in prayer.
00:47:59.81\00:48:02.78
And as our sister Abigail,
00:48:02.81\00:48:05.55
Lisa Sung join us
in singing together
00:48:05.58\00:48:08.68
Oh my God
00:48:11.72\00:48:14.16
Let me see Your strength
00:48:14.19\00:48:18.13
In moments I can't feel You
00:48:18.16\00:48:25.07
Oh my God
00:48:25.10\00:48:27.74
Let me know the length
00:48:27.77\00:48:31.64
Your power and mercy go to
00:48:31.67\00:48:38.51
Grant me the victory
00:48:38.55\00:48:41.48
That's not in my hand
00:48:41.52\00:48:44.75
I'll trust you
to help me To stand.
00:48:44.79\00:48:51.13
Dear Father, we
praise You and we thank You
00:48:51.16\00:48:52.93
for what You have done
00:48:52.96\00:48:54.86
in the lives of these people
00:48:54.90\00:48:56.97
who have given
their hearts to You,
00:48:57.00\00:48:59.10
who have taken you at your word.
00:48:59.13\00:49:01.14
Lord, I pray
that their testimony
00:49:01.17\00:49:02.97
will be our testimony.
00:49:03.00\00:49:05.04
You're a powerful God,
00:49:05.07\00:49:06.41
You are the God who is true
to His promise to Your promise.
00:49:06.44\00:49:08.84
And Lord, we know
00:49:08.88\00:49:10.21
that You have
been faithful to us,
00:49:10.25\00:49:11.58
even though
00:49:11.61\00:49:12.95
we have not been
consistently faithful to You.
00:49:12.98\00:49:15.52
Lord, I pray that may
we take You seriously.
00:49:15.55\00:49:19.05
May we take You at Your word.
00:49:19.09\00:49:21.16
For You have promised,
Dear Father, exceeding,
00:49:21.19\00:49:23.39
abundantly above all
that we could ask or think.
00:49:23.43\00:49:26.56
That's what
You're about to give us.
00:49:26.59\00:49:28.53
So, Lord, I pray
00:49:28.56\00:49:29.90
that You please
give us the burden.
00:49:29.93\00:49:31.80
Give us the
burden to pray for souls.
00:49:31.83\00:49:33.74
Give us the
burden for the outpouring
00:49:33.77\00:49:35.20
of Your Holy Spirit.
00:49:35.24\00:49:37.11
And, Lord, as we
prepare our hearts
00:49:37.14\00:49:39.37
to receive this message,
00:49:39.41\00:49:41.41
dear Father, I pray
that You please fill us
00:49:41.44\00:49:43.08
with Your spirit.
00:49:43.11\00:49:44.75
Fill us, dear Lord,
00:49:44.78\00:49:46.11
this we ask
00:49:46.15\00:49:47.48
in the loving name
of your son Jesus, amen.
00:49:47.52\00:49:51.49
Grant me the victory
00:49:51.52\00:49:54.42
That's not in my hand
00:49:54.46\00:49:57.89
I'll trust you
to help me To stand.
00:49:57.93\00:50:03.53
Amen.
00:50:03.57\00:50:04.90
