00:05 Hello, friends.
00:06 Welcome to another iSITE Review. 00:08 Again, Jill and I are close to Central London. 00:11 And again, there are so many historical sites here 00:14 in the great city of London, England. 00:16 And another beautiful day 00:18 that we're experiencing here, aren't we? 00:19 We are. It's perfect. 00:20 They say it rains a lot in London, 00:22 but right now, the sun is shining. 00:23 I see a blue sky. A beautiful blue sky. 00:25 It's a perfect fall day here. 00:27 Right behind us is the Marble Arch. 00:29 Now this was originally designed for, 00:31 like the entrance into the Buckingham Palace 00:33 where you bring all of the dignitaries 00:35 into the palace. 00:37 But they have moved it since then. 00:39 I think in the '60s it was moved, 1960s. 00:41 And right here, 00:42 it's kind of in the center of a thoroughfare. 00:45 Yeah, there are a lot of people. 00:46 This is kind of an intersection for roads, etcetera, 00:48 right here. 00:50 But again, you know, it's amazing 00:51 how they move a lot of these historical sites 00:52 to make it more central for the public, 00:54 for people to visit some of these neat places. 00:56 They have a lot of history, 00:57 rich with history here in London, England. 00:59 They are. They are. 01:01 Yeah, you know, and we wanted to go... 01:03 Today, we have a great testimony 01:04 concerning prayer. 01:06 And we want to start out with that 01:07 in just a few moments. 01:09 We know prayer is a very important part 01:10 of this campaign. 01:11 I know at the Croydon Church we we're at, 01:13 I was there early in the morning one day, 01:15 and there was a group 01:16 that was just praying in the sanctuary. 01:18 I saw some praying 01:19 actually over Pastor Daly's office. 01:22 And, of course, many are praying 01:23 for Pastor Lomacang there. 01:24 And I know all the other sites have prayer groups. 01:26 They came in the production room too 01:27 where we were meeting, 01:28 and they had special prayer over that too, 01:30 the equipment and crew and what's taking place. 01:32 And you think about we can prepare, 01:35 we can have gifted speakers who present the message, 01:38 but that means nothing without the anointing 01:41 and infilling of the Holy Spirit. 01:42 And that comes through the power of prayer. 01:44 It does. 01:45 So right now we want to go to the Chiswick Church, 01:46 Pastor Kevin Hart and his wife, Tara, 01:48 and they're going to share with us 01:50 what's happening over there in regards to this prayer. 01:57 Well, we are at our sixth night of the meeting here 02:01 in Chiswick Church. 02:02 And what has made this time so special? 02:04 One of the components is the fact 02:06 that there's a very dedicated prayer group 02:08 that meets up here every single night. 02:10 And so while we come, we are ushered upstairs. 02:13 And they always take the time to pray for my wife 02:15 and I before the meeting begins, 02:16 so why don't we go take a look right now? 02:17 I believe they're in prayer as we are speaking. 02:23 Well, we are in the upper room, 02:24 so to speak, of Chiswick Church, 02:27 and these are the prayer warriors. 02:29 Why don't you tell us your name? 02:31 My name is Jcanelta Nash. Amen. 02:34 And are you the prayer warrior leader 02:35 of the Prayer Ministries Department? 02:37 Yes, I am. Well, that's very wonderful. 02:41 And we noticed, my wife and I, every night that we come, 02:44 all three of you ladies are in very sincere prayer 02:48 before each meeting, just invoking the Holy Spirit 02:50 and asking that the visitors come 02:52 and that God does 02:54 just a wonderful thing here at Chiswick church. 02:57 So we're going to come around this way, 02:58 and we're going to ask 03:01 one of the other ladies to introduce herself. 03:03 Sister, what is your name? Donna Pusey. 03:06 Praise the Lord! 03:07 What does it mean to you 03:09 to be a prayer warrior here at Chiswick church? 03:10 Oh, God. 03:11 It means everything, everything 03:13 because we know that prayer is the essence of our strength. 03:17 It gives us encouragement. 03:19 It encourages the church itself. 03:24 And it really is... 03:27 You can't really do... 03:28 You can't be a sincere Christian 03:30 or a Christian at all without prayer. 03:33 It is the food of life. Amen! 03:35 And our topic tonight is on prayer, isn't it, dear? 03:37 It is. 03:38 And as we certainly have been blessed by these ladies, 03:40 and this is Sister Melli. 03:42 Well, and what does prayer mean to you, dear Sister? 03:45 It means so much. I cannot live without prayer. 03:48 It's the key that unlocks 03:50 and the hands of faith to unlock heaven's storehouse. 03:53 And Ellen White said, 03:54 you know, she speak about prayer. 03:57 You know, prayer is one of the arts 03:59 to guide us to our friend, 04:01 you know, and we should always pray 04:03 without ceasing 04:05 because the devil cannot get hold of us 04:08 when we are in prayer constantly. 04:11 Amen. Amen. 04:12 Well, that is tonight's topic, prayer. 04:14 And aren't we excited about that tonight, dear? 04:16 We are. 04:17 I know that just having our sisters here praying 04:21 for us has been such a wonderful thing knowing 04:26 that we're covered in Jesus' blood. 04:28 And I know that prayer is a very dear thing to you 04:32 as well because your mother prayed for you 04:35 and prayed for you. 04:37 And that is one of the very tender things 04:40 to your heart 04:41 because that is how you were won to the Lord. 04:45 Amen! Amen! 04:46 So I'm excited to share a little bit about 04:48 that story tonight. 04:51 Thank you, Pastor Kevin and Tara. 04:54 I tell you, it's neat, 04:55 this great group there at his church, 04:57 and again, like you said, 04:58 other churches that are praying for the pastor, 05:01 for the evangelist. 05:02 Their prayer does mighty things. 05:04 You know, it's neat that we have connection 05:05 with the great Creator of the universe. 05:07 When you look at London, 05:08 we're just one small speck as individuals. 05:10 Around the world, wherever you are, 05:12 we're just one small speck. 05:14 But yet, God and the great universe, 05:18 He knows us by name. 05:19 He even knows the number of hairs on our head. 05:20 I mean that's a lot of detail. 05:22 And it's neat to think about all the prayers 05:24 that are ascending for this event, yours too. 05:27 Thank you for your prayers and again, 05:28 your support of this great campaign 05:30 and for the ministry of 3ABN. 05:31 Amen, that's right. 05:33 We want to encourage you at home to pray 05:34 for these meetings as they go on. 05:36 We're kind of mid-campaign right now. 05:37 We are. 05:39 And people are making decisions 05:40 or are in the valley of decision. 05:42 "Do I want to follow the Bible? 05:44 Do I want to accept Jesus as my personal Savior? 05:47 So I want to encourage you to pray God's protection 05:49 over the speakers 05:51 and His anointing over them as they present 05:53 as well as each person 05:54 who's in the valley of decision listening 05:57 to the meetings and making those decisions. 05:59 We're going next... 06:00 Before we go there, 06:02 across the street from where we're at here 06:03 at Marble Arch is Hyde Park. 06:05 They have several beautiful parks here in London. 06:08 I know there' St. James's Palace, 06:10 and we've been there. 06:11 We want to maybe take you there on a future iSITE. 06:13 We hope to. 06:14 There's Hyde Park, and there's other royal parks, 06:17 I guess they call them, I don't know. 06:18 But we would call them city parks in the States. 06:20 But nice parks where people can go, 06:22 and they're beautiful. 06:23 You're right. 06:25 You know, next, we want to go 06:26 to the Croydon Seventh-day Adventist Church, 06:28 which was the church 06:29 that you've been seeing the series coming through 3ABN. 06:31 And that we had a chance to catch up with Pastor Daly, 06:34 and he went around and talked to some of the members there. 06:36 So let's go to those rolls now. 06:42 Hi, welcome to the Croydon Seventh-day Adventist Church 06:44 where we are hosting the 3ABN through a number of meetings 06:49 that are taking place each night with a speaker, 06:52 Pastor John Lomacang. 06:53 We're just going to interview a number of individuals 06:55 who have been coming out each night. 06:57 And I have with me Xavier. 06:59 Xavier, you came to the appeal. 07:02 You came forward for the appeal this evening. 07:05 Tell us what moved you to do that. 07:09 Well, I've been coming here for 07:15 a few weeks now and attending the campaign, 07:19 and I've physically been moved 07:21 by how welcoming the church members are 07:25 and how they teach the Bible in simple 07:31 and practical forms, 07:32 which has a lot of meaning in my life. 07:34 So that is what has really attracted me 07:36 to come down here. 07:39 Thank you very much. 07:40 And you have... 07:42 You're not a member of this church, but you... 07:43 How did you find out about the meetings? 07:47 Well, I first came in here by turning in the soup kitchen 07:52 on a Tuesday. 07:54 And when I came in, nobody knew me, 07:59 but everybody greeted me like I was their lost friend. 08:02 So that really touched me. 08:04 And when I was invited for further meetings, 08:07 I didn't hesitate because of that. 08:10 That's wonderful. 08:11 Through ministry of the soup kitchens, 08:13 you've been able to come to that. 08:15 And now you're attending the meetings. 08:17 And today, you gave your life to Jesus Christ. 08:21 Thank you very much, Xavier. Thank you for your testimony. 08:28 Shelley-Ann Ferguson, 08:30 you've been coming to the meetings 08:31 quite a lot as well. 08:33 How, for you, have these meetings helped you 08:36 in your day to day experience as a Christian? 08:40 Well, I think these meetings have been really helping me 08:44 to readjust and re-look at God's Word. 08:48 And especially the last night's message 08:50 talking about prayer because with prayer, 08:52 it's something I always wanted to understand 08:54 more about, what is prayer, 08:56 and last night's message really spoke to my heart. 09:00 It makes me think more about praying 09:01 and also not just about praying, 09:03 but knowing that when I pray, 09:05 it's not so much a prayer, but who I'm praying to. 09:08 And for me, that has spoken volumes. 09:10 So over the... 09:12 It has been a good experience so far. 09:14 And I'm just waiting to see what else is going to happen 09:18 through the coming weeks. 09:19 So I've been really blessed by the meetings and the nights 09:22 that I could be able to make it. 09:25 Now sometimes we love to come to these meetings by ourselves, 09:29 but have you been able to invite anybody? 09:31 And what's been the response? Well, that's good. 09:35 I have invited a few people. 09:37 And I had a visitor on Wednesday night. 09:40 And it's so funny 09:42 because I met this person on the street. 09:43 Not like that. 09:45 He was very ill, and I stopped to aid him. 09:48 And I took his number and, you know, I've just been 09:50 like sending him texts, how are you. 09:52 And so I sent him a text 09:54 just inviting him out to the meetings. 09:55 And he said, "Oh, I'll come." And he said, "What day?" 09:57 And I was like, 09:59 "Oh, it would be nice if you come tonight," 10:00 which is Wednesday night. 10:02 And he said, "Give me the address." 10:03 And I did, and he came, and he loved it. 10:05 Didn't want to give his name, but I'm still praying for him. 10:08 And I know that by God's grace, he will get turned around. 10:11 And I've invited a few more people. 10:13 They're coming tomorrow night. Hopefully, they'll get to come. 10:16 And there's been a few more. 10:17 I'm hoping that they will turn up, so, yeah. 10:20 Excellent, well done. Thank you, Shelley. 10:26 So you've been coming to the meetings 10:27 most of the nights, how have you found them so far? 10:30 I found them really like humbling, 10:33 and I'd say Spirit-filled because I've been to campaigns 10:37 before, and I've really enjoyed campaigns. 10:40 But, to me, this one's very different. 10:42 It's like you really feel the presence of God here. 10:44 I've been so touched, especially last night, 10:47 when I left, I thought, "I've got to contact 10:49 as many non-Christian friends I know." 10:50 And I literally was calling them 10:52 as I sat in my car. 10:54 And I was just so touched, and even through everything, 10:58 the whole service down to the singers, 11:02 I felt that the singers' voices, 11:05 I don't believe that was their natural voices. 11:07 It's as if the angels had touched their voices 11:09 and enhanced it. 11:10 So everything, you know, I feel so blessed. 11:13 So you mentioned about inviting friends, 11:16 and that's one of the things that we really need to do 11:18 with members, to invite people around. 11:19 How have you found that? Have people responded? 11:22 Were you successful in bringing anybody 11:23 or are you still trying? 11:25 I'm still trying. 11:26 I mean, one person said that's contacted me 11:28 during the week to tell me their availability. 11:31 I have been disappointed inside knowing 11:33 that I haven't been able to get anyone to come yet, 11:35 but I'm not giving up. 11:37 And I just thought, "God I can't force them, 11:39 but I'm just going to keep praying," 11:40 because if I pray, 11:41 then God's going to open the doors and let them come. 11:43 So that's all I can do. 11:45 I'm not giving up 11:46 'cause I can't keep this to myself. 11:47 I want to share it with people. You know, I've been so blessed, 11:50 and that's why I want to share it. 11:52 Absolutely. 11:53 And that's what these meetings are about, 11:54 it is to share the gospel to everyone. 11:56 Hopefully, next week, somebody will come. 11:58 I hope so! 12:05 Civan, you've been involved in this campaign. 12:08 You've been working behind the scenes 12:09 by playing a major part in the music. 12:12 We know Pastor Lomacang's songs have been really good, 12:14 but what about the music side of things for you? 12:17 The music side has been excellent. 12:20 The 3ABN team have great musicians there. 12:23 John Lomacang himself is a singer and a musician. 12:26 And he sang with Heritage and other people. 12:30 And you can hear the quality. 12:31 The music has been tremendous. Yeah. 12:35 We also are using our own artists as well. 12:38 So we've got some of 3ABN and some from us, 12:41 and it's been going very well. 12:43 Which ones have stood out for you? 12:45 The artists that stood out for me 12:47 has been Pat who plays for 3ABN, 12:52 obviously, John and his singing. 12:56 In terms of our singers, 12:59 I'm trying to remember who sang on the nights, 13:04 oh, yeah, Kenney is one of our players. 13:06 He's a local boy, and he's playing his, 13:11 Be Inspirational. 13:12 I've played along with him this morning 13:14 during the divine service. 13:17 And that was awesome. 13:19 Now you've been playing the theme song most nights, 13:23 and that has gone down pretty well. 13:26 Can you give us a little tune of what that theme song is? 13:28 I can do it. Yeah? Show us. 14:14 Essence. 14:16 Yeah, and obviously, we didn't have the words to it, 14:18 but it says everyone is talking about everyone to everybody. 14:22 Yeah, to share the Word. 14:23 So thank you Civan, and, you know, thank you 14:26 for your involvement in the campaign. 14:28 And as we go for the second week, 14:30 I hope that it will be a blessing to you. 14:32 It's been a blessing already. 14:34 Thank you so much Pastor Daly, 14:36 and what a tremendous blessing to hear those interviews. 14:39 I was especially touched by, I think his name was Xavier. 14:42 He's been coming as a visitor. 14:43 I don't know if you caught that. 14:45 He's been coming to the soup kitchen. 14:47 And they have a wonderful soup kitchen ministry there 14:50 at their church. 14:52 On every Tuesday, they feed people who come in, 14:55 who don't have any food, 14:57 maybe they're having a hard time. 14:59 Some are homeless, 15:01 but the church opens up their hearts 15:03 and feeds people. 15:05 And they have quite a few people in there. 15:06 And praise the Lord for the outgrowth 15:08 and how this gentleman began attending church 15:11 and was struck 15:12 by the friendliness of the people 15:13 and now have been coming to the meetings. 15:15 So that's wonderful! 15:16 And the last testimony, 15:17 Civan is one of their incredible musicians 15:19 at the church there. 15:21 They have several. 15:22 They actually have a lot of good pianists there. 15:24 Oh, they do. And we've been blessed by that. 15:25 Yeah, a lot of music at the Croydon church. 15:26 I'm sure the other churches have music, too, 15:28 which we hope to show some clips of that 15:29 in some future iSITES. 15:31 But music is a big part of the Croydon church. 15:34 And they have a great ministry there. 15:35 And I, again, want to just mention 15:36 on the soup kitchen. 15:38 You know, as we're standing here 15:39 on this corner here by the Marble Arch, 15:41 you know, it's amazing, 15:42 I saw a very high-dollar sports car 15:44 just go driving past. 15:46 I mean, it sounded just big engine, 15:48 and then just a few feet back here I saw, 15:51 it looked like to be 15:52 a homeless person sleeping on a bench. 15:54 So, I mean, to have someone that can afford a high-dollar 15:57 sports car driving by, 15:58 and then just a few feet away 16:00 someone that's homeless and in need. 16:01 And it's amazing that... 16:03 I don't want to... 16:04 Dichotomy would be the right word? 16:05 It would be. 16:07 Just the opposite, 16:08 you know, there's so many people in need. 16:09 The person may not know Jesus, 16:11 and he owns a high-dollar sports car. 16:12 That's right. 16:14 This homeless person here, all he may need is... 16:15 Actually, he may know Jesus, but he needs... 16:16 Food. Yeah, food, soup, I don't know. 16:18 A job, shelter. 16:19 So the thing is as we pass people 16:21 day-by-day, boy, 16:22 I tell you, there are people in need everywhere. 16:24 In this city and the town or city where you live, 16:27 there's people that need to be touched 16:28 by the Lord Jesus Christ. 16:30 And they're all around us. Amen. 16:31 And I appreciate 16:32 what the Croydon church is doing, 16:34 and, of course, the other churches as well. 16:35 Amen. 16:37 John calls us to get out of ourself. 16:38 True. 16:39 You know, our own box and our selfishness 16:41 and to reach out and minister to other people. 16:42 We want to go next to the Hampstead church. 16:45 Pastor Kenny and Chris Shelton are over there. 16:47 And they have a couple of incredible testimonies. 16:49 The first one is precious to my heart 16:52 because I love kids. 16:53 So we want to go to that testimony at this time. 16:59 Hello, 3ABN family. 17:01 I am here with little Gabriella. 17:04 She's not that little actually. How old are you, Gabriella? 17:06 Eleven. 17:07 She's eleven years old, 17:09 and she's becoming a mighty warrior for Jesus. 17:13 Just a few nights ago, 17:14 she had a special prayer request 17:15 on the card. 17:17 What was that prayer request? 17:18 I wanted stage fright to go away from me. 17:21 And, Gabriella, did that stage fright go away? 17:24 Yes. 17:25 And what happened after it went away? 17:27 What did you just decide you wanted to do? 17:29 I wanted to get baptized. 17:31 Gabriella, you want to go all the way with Jesus. 17:34 You love Jesus, don't you? Yeah. 17:37 I have watched the love of Jesus 17:40 on your face each and every night. 17:42 And it was just so amazing 17:44 because anytime God answers prayer. 17:47 It's such a blessing, 17:49 and it was a blessing for you, too. 17:50 She couldn't even have come up here the first night. 17:53 But then after that stage fright went away, 17:55 when a call was made, Gabriella, you came forward, 17:58 didn't you? 17:59 And are you going to continue to go forward with Jesus? 18:01 Yes. 18:02 And you're looking forward... 18:03 She's looking forward. 18:05 When do you want to be baptized? 18:06 Next week. Next Sabbath, right? 18:08 Praise God. 18:10 Keep Gabriella in your prayers, church family, 18:12 because I know she's going to need it along 18:14 with all the others 18:15 that will be joining Gabriella in baptism. 18:18 God bless you, honey. And God bless you. 18:24 Hello, 3ABN family. 18:26 I have our praise team and their pianist 18:28 that has been here 18:30 during all of our meetings here at Hampstead in London. 18:33 And I am so excited. 18:34 They have been such a blessing to us, 18:37 and I know to those of you, the people that have been here, 18:40 those of you who have been watching over the internet, 18:43 and maybe even a little taste if 3ABN has chosen to air them. 18:47 I've actually sent in some video clips before. 18:49 But I just want to ask you guys, 18:51 has the meetings touched your heart in any special way? 18:54 Who would like to answer first? 18:57 Well, I've been touched 18:58 by the preaching and the double act. 19:02 Yes. 19:03 I've been touched by the way 19:04 you guys really minister together, 19:06 and you really look for the Holy Spirit 19:09 working in a way, 19:10 the people who have come out to the front. 19:12 I've been worshipping at this church for a longtime, 19:14 and we've had a diversity of different kinds of people 19:18 just giving their hearts to God, 19:20 and it's been wonderful! 19:21 It certainly has. Yes. 19:22 Anybody else has something they'd like to share? 19:25 Something that is... 19:26 I love the professionalism. 19:30 You guys are like a tag team, 19:33 and your ministry is highly polished 19:38 and very accessible. 19:41 So, you know, people can really tune in 19:45 to what you're saying very easily. 19:47 Amen. You know, the Lord is good. 19:48 It's Jesus. 19:49 We give Him all the praise, all the honor, and the glory. 19:52 Do you have something you'd like to share? 19:54 Yes. 19:55 I like the way how you interact and connect with the people. 19:59 And we can feel the warmth here at Hampstead that just radiates 20:04 where we... 20:05 You know, there's no diverse between you and us 20:08 is just like one family. 20:11 And we just feel the love and connection by yourself 20:15 and Pastor Shelton. 20:16 Amen. Praise the Lord. 20:17 I love that 'cause we are one family. 20:19 Yes. We are one family. 20:21 Brother, do you have something you'd like to share? 20:23 Yes. I've enjoyed all the meetings. 20:26 I missed one night 20:28 because I had a special duty elsewhere. 20:29 But tonight's message on prayer really has sunk home, 20:35 and I am encouraged 20:37 to keep on asking and reaching out. 20:40 If I don't ask, I don't get. 20:42 And I need some answers to prayer. 20:45 We all do.

Praise God. 22:56 Now that has been an experience. 22:58 And listen, you being here has blessed me. 23:01 So I really want to thank you for just coming out. 23:03 And did you all see this hat right here? 23:05 She is working it, okay? 23:08 So, iSITE, we're here at North Wembley again. 23:10 And I'm Pastor Phil.

Thank you, Pastor Wesley. 24:02 A powerful, again, testimony. 24:03 It was so cute though, 24:05 the little girl singing the song 24:06 there at the very end. 24:08 And again, we appreciate the testimonies 24:09 before that with Chris Shelton and Pastor Kenny. 24:12 I tell you, there's just a lot of neat things going on here 24:15 in the campaign London 2016. 24:18 They got a lot of people in that shot, didn't they? 24:20 They did. 24:21 Chris Shelton 24:23 with the entire group of people. 24:24 We're so thankful for each person 24:25 who's sending in the iSITE Review, 24:28 sending in those cell phone videos. 24:30 That's a real blessing. 24:31 And our crew can't get around everywhere. 24:34 So we're so thankful for everyone 24:35 who's using their cameras and sending in those videos. 24:39 And that was precious, 24:41 the praise team and the music that they bring. 24:43 Yeah, music is definitely 24:45 a big part of worship, I believe. 24:46 And God invented, not invented, 24:49 created music and the voice and instruments. 24:53 You know, I believe God... 24:55 Well, we know in heaven, 24:56 it talks about all the music and stuff in heaven. 24:58 So music, a part of these campaigns, 25:01 it's a big thing. 25:02 And a lot of people 25:04 have put a lot of time and effort into it 25:05 which we really appreciate. 25:06 Amen, amen, that's right. We were at Marble Arch today. 25:10 We're back again on the steps here 25:12 of the Croydon Seventh-day Adventist Church. 25:13 And, you know, it's been an incredible journey, Greg, 25:16 just this whole evangelistic campaign. 25:19 And I don't know, 25:20 I think in my own heart and life, 25:22 it's been changed. 25:24 It's been transformed. 25:25 Growing up, I was never really involved in evangelism. 25:29 I don't know, I don't think 25:30 my local church did a lot of that, 25:32 so I grew up knowing about Jesus. 25:34 And we would reach out maybe, as you grow up, 25:36 to your friends or those at school, 25:38 but we never really were involved 25:40 in any evangelistic campaign as we're doing here. 25:44 Not just here at Croydon but, of course, all the sites. 25:46 And I think just to see the Holy Spirit work, 25:49 to see people come down the aisles and make decisions 25:53 for Jesus. 25:54 To see people saying, 25:56 "I want to follow Jesus come what may." 25:58 You know that song? 25:59 "I have decided to follow Jesus. 26:02 I've decided to follow Jesus." You know? No turning back. 26:05 And some people are making difficult decisions 26:08 during this campaign. 26:10 And we want to appeal to you at home to pray for them. 26:13 Pray for people in the valley of decision right now. 26:15 Even right now coming up next is another meeting here 26:18 at the Croydon church and pray for the people 26:21 as they make decisions for Jesus. 26:23 Yeah, that's a good point 26:24 because, you know, part of that song was 26:26 "no turning back". 26:27 I've decided to follow Jesus, no turning back, 26:29 and we're finding some stories 26:30 where some are making a decision for Jesus Christ 26:35 with opposition from their family. 26:36 I'm talking strong opposition. 26:38 And so, yeah, like Jill mentioned, 26:40 pray for these people because they're choosing Jesus, 26:42 which is the right decision, but again, you know, 26:44 you have the family influence around you. 26:46 And wow! 26:47 We really need to pray for them. 26:48 It's been a wonderful day again here in London. 26:51 It's been a sunny day, as you saw earlier. 26:53 We were down at the Marble Arch. 26:55 It's a little cold tonight. I was just going to say that. 26:58 You can't feel the temperature here, 26:59 but it's clear, and it's getting cold 27:01 and the wind is blowing. 27:02 We're starting to shiver on the steps. 27:04 That's true. 27:05 But I think of the wind, you know, and the Holy Spirit. 27:06 You know, it can come in, 27:08 you know, and enter our hearts and lives, boy, 27:12 just soften each one of us 27:13 that we're receptive to Jesus Christ. 27:14 I'm thinking of prayer and the opportunity. 27:17 You know, we started out with the prayer groups 27:18 in this iSITE, 27:20 talking about the prayer that's going out. 27:22 Over each one of these sites, there's prayer groups. 27:25 There's all night prayer sessions, 27:27 people praying for the meetings. 27:28 Absolutely, there are. 27:29 And we want to thank you for your prayers for 3ABN, 27:33 for the ministry of 3ABN for this local event here 27:35 in London. 27:37 And again, we say thank you for that. 27:38 That's right. 27:40 Thank you so much for joining us 27:41 for this iSITE REVIEW. 27:42 We will see you again tomorrow night. 27:44 And we want to pray for the decisions 27:45 you are making at home as well. |
