Welcome to our Mini
Concert for the Kids.
00:00:28.22\00:00:31.56
I am happy to partner
with Child Impact International
00:00:31.59\00:00:34.56
to provide this
special program for you.
00:00:34.60\00:00:38.00
This is a time of need.
00:00:38.03\00:00:40.17
This is a tragic time.
00:00:40.20\00:00:42.30
And so, we hope that the music
and the words will encourage
00:00:42.34\00:00:45.71
and bless you.
00:00:45.74\00:00:47.54
Child Impact as a ministry,
00:00:47.58\00:00:50.05
along with its supporters
00:00:50.08\00:00:51.41
that have been
making a difference
00:00:51.45\00:00:52.91
in the lives of
thousands of children
00:00:52.95\00:00:55.28
in six countries.
00:00:55.32\00:00:57.22
Personally, I have traveled
with the CEO of Child Impact,
00:00:57.25\00:01:01.39
Jim Rennie
00:01:01.42\00:01:02.76
to places like
India and Myanmar.
00:01:02.79\00:01:05.36
I have seen with my own
eyes, the lives being changed,
00:01:05.39\00:01:10.40
the work that is being done
with these precious children
00:01:10.43\00:01:13.77
to give them hope, a
future in Jesus Christ.
00:01:13.80\00:01:18.54
So welcome to
our special program.
00:01:18.57\00:01:21.34
I hope you are blessed.
00:01:21.38\00:01:23.85
Throughout our program,
00:01:23.88\00:01:25.21
we are going to be dedicating
the songs to the children
00:01:25.25\00:01:29.35
in some of these
schools and places
00:01:29.38\00:01:31.89
that I've had the
opportunity to visit.
00:01:31.92\00:01:34.19
One of them is the deaf school.
00:01:34.22\00:01:36.86
Thanks to its supporters,
00:01:36.89\00:01:38.39
Child Impact is able to fund
00:01:38.43\00:01:41.00
and support an
Adventist Mission School
00:01:41.03\00:01:43.77
for the Deaf in India.
00:01:43.80\00:01:46.23
These young
people would never have
00:01:46.27\00:01:48.44
an education otherwise,
00:01:48.47\00:01:50.31
but now they are thriving,
00:01:50.34\00:01:52.11
they are learning sign language
and they can have a career,
00:01:52.14\00:01:56.24
a hope and a future.
00:01:56.28\00:01:58.01
His eye is on the sparrow.
00:01:58.05\00:02:00.55
Turn your eyes upon Jesus
00:06:36.83\00:06:38.36
is dedicated to the
children in Bangladesh.
00:06:38.39\00:06:41.86
Bangladesh is
actually one of the poorest
00:06:41.90\00:06:44.20
and most densely
populated countries
00:06:44.23\00:06:46.94
in the world.
00:06:46.97\00:06:48.50
The Adventist Mission schools
00:06:48.54\00:06:50.51
serve mainly those
poor and rural communities.
00:06:50.54\00:06:55.51
Sending a child
to a boarding school
00:06:55.54\00:06:57.98
means that not only will
they receive an education
00:06:58.01\00:07:01.65
but they will be fed.
00:07:01.68\00:07:03.02
Oh, magnify the Lord
00:10:08.70\00:10:10.51
is dedicated to the
more than 2000 children
00:10:10.54\00:10:14.88
that are sponsored in India.
00:10:14.91\00:10:17.35
Child Impact
sponsors these children
00:10:17.38\00:10:20.45
in Adventist Mission schools.
00:10:20.48\00:10:22.98
They are very, very poor.
00:10:23.02\00:10:25.19
And they have an opportunity
through these sponsorships
00:10:25.22\00:10:27.79
to receive a
wonderful Christian education.
00:10:27.82\00:10:30.36
The parents are
especially grateful
00:10:30.39\00:10:32.73
for this opportunity.
00:10:32.76\00:10:34.10
And many of these children
meet Jesus during this time.
00:10:34.13\00:10:38.30
Thank you so
much for joining us.
00:12:48.66\00:12:50.87
I hope you enjoyed
00:12:50.90\00:12:52.23
these mini
concerts for the kids.
00:12:52.27\00:12:55.17
The first time I went to India,
00:12:55.20\00:12:57.07
at the end of our
trip we visited a village,
00:12:57.11\00:12:59.61
it was a very poor village.
00:12:59.64\00:13:01.98
And a gentleman came
up to me and he said,
00:13:02.01\00:13:03.85
"Sir, would you please help us?
00:13:03.88\00:13:06.85
Would you help
the people of India?"
00:13:06.88\00:13:09.85
I'll never forget those words.
00:13:09.88\00:13:11.82
And as we left
to go to the airport
00:13:11.85\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\00:13:19.29
I can help.
00:13:19.33\00:13:20.96
In fact, you can help too,
00:13:21.00\00:13:22.63
all of us can make a difference
00:13:22.66\00:13:25.00
in the lives of
others for the glory of God.
00:13:25.03\00:13:28.40
Child Impact is reaching
more than 3000 young people.
00:13:28.44\00:13:33.64
The sponsorship
is the key element
00:13:33.68\00:13:35.81
and work that Child Impact does,
00:13:35.84\00:13:37.81
but there is so much
more that can be done.
00:13:37.85\00:13:40.82
I want to invite you
to go to childimpact.org,
00:13:40.85\00:13:45.05
see the website,
look at the pictures,
00:13:45.09\00:13:47.26
read the stories
00:13:47.29\00:13:48.76
and see how so many
lives are being changed.
00:13:48.79\00:13:52.53
Obviously, you
can sponsor a child
00:13:52.56\00:13:55.00
and a little goes a long way.
00:13:55.03\00:13:57.53
But there's also the
Where Needed Most Fund,
00:13:57.57\00:14:01.24
opportunities come to
support certain projects.
00:14:01.27\00:14:05.01
And we would love for
you to know that your funds,
00:14:05.04\00:14:08.98
your support is making
a huge impact in the lives
00:14:09.01\00:14:12.38
of these precious
young people there.
00:14:12.41\00:14:14.88
May God bless you,
00:14:14.92\00:14:16.45
may He keep you safe,
and may we be together again.
00:14:16.48\00:14:21.12
In Jesus' name, amen.
00:14:21.16\00:14:24.26
