It's time to share
there's a world out there,
00:00:03.61\00:00:06.81
looking for a friend
like Jesus, it's time to share
00:00:07.21\00:00:11.83
there's a world out
there. Let's tell them that
00:00:11.93\00:00:14.50
He loves us so.
Let's tell them that He
00:00:14.56\00:00:18.24
loves us so. Kids
Time, Kids Time, Kids Time.
00:00:18.53\00:00:25.35
Hello, boys and
girls, isn't this beautiful
00:00:25.38\00:00:27.26
feather, so pretty
and pink. Have you heard
00:00:27.39\00:00:30.38
that expression
light as the feather?
00:00:30.48\00:00:32.18
Well, you know, what
that expression comes
00:00:32.65\00:00:34.39
because this is so
light that I want you to watch
00:00:34.54\00:00:36.83
as I drop it up here
and look and watch it
00:00:36.91\00:00:39.21
just fairly floats
down to the floor here.
00:00:39.24\00:00:42.56
And there is
something else you can do with
00:00:43.18\00:00:45.11
the feather. If I was
to take this feather and
00:00:45.14\00:00:47.75
I just gently
tickle my face like this,
00:00:47.78\00:00:50.51
it makes me giggle,
you know why because
00:00:52.07\00:00:53.97
it tickles. And this
feather it came from one
00:00:54.00\00:00:57.59
of many beautiful
birds that Jesus has made.
00:00:57.62\00:01:00.89
Do you know no
matter where you live,
00:01:01.45\00:01:03.08
you can see beautiful
birds of many different
00:01:03.11\00:01:05.42
colors and
descriptions, and you can
00:01:05.50\00:01:07.93
listen to their
songs, and maybe you can
00:01:08.00\00:01:09.88
even learn to
recognize them by the songs
00:01:10.00\00:01:12.85
they sing or the
sounds they make.
00:01:12.89\00:01:14.64
Do you know many
birds have pink feathers
00:01:15.78\00:01:17.14
scattered among
many of their other
00:01:17.37\00:01:18.60
feathers of
different colors, but today
00:01:18.68\00:01:21.32
I want to talk to
you about a large bird
00:01:21.40\00:01:23.47
with long legs that
is pink almost all over,
00:01:23.78\00:01:26.96
and the only part of
this bird that isn't pink
00:01:27.57\00:01:29.78
are its eyes and its
beak. Did you know even
00:01:30.41\00:01:33.56
his long skinny legs
and its big webfeet are
00:01:33.79\00:01:36.57
pink. Do you know
what I am talking about?
00:01:36.64\00:01:38.87
Yes you do, it's the
Flamingo. And did you
00:01:39.71\00:01:42.54
know that the
Flamingo gets its color
00:01:42.64\00:01:44.49
from the food that
it eats, that's right,
00:01:44.69\00:01:46.54
it does. The
Flamingo eats a lot of shrimp
00:01:47.13\00:01:49.70
or other shrimp
like creatures, and there
00:01:50.18\00:01:52.17
is a lot of keratin in
shrimp, and the keratin
00:01:52.22\00:01:54.59
in its diet turns
its feathers pink.
00:01:54.62\00:01:56.95
Now if its diet is
low in keratin then the
00:01:57.46\00:02:00.33
feathers turn pale
pink or even white.
00:02:00.36\00:02:02.91
Now this is a
dramatic example of the
00:02:03.71\00:02:06.31
effect diet has on
the body. In fact if you
00:02:06.34\00:02:10.23
were to drink lots
and lots of carrot juice,
00:02:10.29\00:02:13.05
which is really high
in keratin, your skin
00:02:13.76\00:02:15.95
would start to look
a little bit orange.
00:02:16.00\00:02:18.02
Most of the time
however it is the inside
00:02:19.34\00:02:22.07
sides of our body
that are most affected by
00:02:22.29\00:02:24.35
what we eat. God
wanted Flamingos to eat
00:02:24.50\00:02:27.13
shrimp and turn that
beautiful pink color so
00:02:27.40\00:02:30.07
that we can enjoy
them, but he wants
00:02:30.18\00:02:32.63
us to eat a
balance of helpful foods to
00:02:32.71\00:02:34.70
keep our insides
just as beautiful for him.
00:02:34.75\00:02:37.62
You know someone
once said you are what
00:02:38.93\00:02:41.08
you eat, and as far
as the health of our body
00:02:41.17\00:02:43.61
is concerned, this
is true. Now Ranger Jim
00:02:43.70\00:02:47.78
is going to show you
some beautiful Flamingos.
00:02:47.82\00:02:50.29
Watch and see. They
are absolutely gorgeous.
00:02:50.83\00:02:53.32
Hi boys and girls,
Ranger Jim here saying
00:03:01.29\00:03:02.90
welcome to Nature
Time. We are glad you
00:03:02.96\00:03:04.52
can join us. We are
at home of State Park
00:03:04.67\00:03:06.87
again here in
Florida, and we are glad
00:03:06.94\00:03:08.74
that you can be
with us. I have my friend
00:03:08.83\00:03:10.68
Kin here who is a
ranger in the park.
00:03:10.77\00:03:12.79
And Kin tell us
something about these
00:03:13.02\00:03:14.52
beautiful birds that
we have, isn't just a
00:03:14.63\00:03:16.04
beautiful bird.
It's a gorgeous bird.
00:03:16.07\00:03:18.02
This bird you can
find them all around in
00:03:18.20\00:03:19.94
the Caribbean; is
a Caribbean Flamingo.
00:03:19.97\00:03:21.90
It is a magnificent
bird, who is doing some
00:03:22.67\00:03:25.32
dance for you
there you see, beautiful.
00:03:25.38\00:03:27.37
The pink color
comes, they eat a shrimp
00:03:27.63\00:03:29.64
in the wild, and
they eat on shrimps and
00:03:29.67\00:03:31.70
algae so with this
chain. So the shrimp eats
00:03:31.73\00:03:37.97
the algae. And the
Flamingo eats the shrimp,
00:03:38.07\00:03:41.06
okay good. So
that's why they get a pink
00:03:41.09\00:03:42.78
color, but in
captivity we can't provide the
00:03:42.83\00:03:45.21
shrimps or the
algae, right, right,
00:03:45.24\00:03:47.11
to keep that food
chain, so we got this
00:03:47.14\00:03:49.13
supplement. This is
like a powder that we
00:03:49.16\00:03:51.26
put in water.
What does it contain?
00:03:51.29\00:03:54.25
It got all alfalfa
hay, you got crab, shrimp,
00:03:54.58\00:03:58.86
fish meat, high in
vitamins, protein but it's
00:03:59.57\00:04:01.73
really high in beta
carotene that will help
00:04:01.76\00:04:03.71
them keep the pink
color. So it's the beta
00:04:03.74\00:04:05.39
carotene that causes the color.
00:04:05.47\00:04:06.88
That causes the
color, isn't that wonderful,
00:04:06.91\00:04:08.46
I always wonder.
We are doing this,
00:04:08.49\00:04:09.60
its like doing, put some water,
00:04:09.88\00:04:11.48
some powder, and
make it brownies.
00:04:12.06\00:04:13.68
You probably went
to, you went to college
00:04:13.71\00:04:14.68
for four years to
learn to do that right.
00:04:14.69\00:04:15.77
Oh yeah, oh yeah,
they show how to do
00:04:15.80\00:04:17.29
it. Any boy and
girl watching would love
00:04:17.32\00:04:18.66
to do that, making
mud pies to feed the
00:04:18.69\00:04:20.61
Flamingos, isn't that something.
00:04:20.64\00:04:21.77
Alright, wants to mix,
mix it good, and you've
00:04:22.70\00:04:25.16
got Flamingo food ready to go.
00:04:25.22\00:04:26.56
That's how they do that, yeah.
00:04:26.67\00:04:28.12
Now tell us
about the beak. Okay,
00:04:28.81\00:04:31.28
you see this guy
eating, the Flamingos goes
00:04:31.38\00:04:33.75
on the plate and
just like scattered on the
00:04:33.78\00:04:35.94
top of the water
and while they would
00:04:36.00\00:04:37.89
get some plantain
too, that's almost like
00:04:37.92\00:04:39.79
filter the water, you
get the water with the
00:04:40.03\00:04:42.22
plantain in it,
filter the water, and then
00:04:42.43\00:04:45.06
swallow all the
plantain. So in his mouth
00:04:45.19\00:04:47.06
and he has a filter,
he swishes it back and
00:04:47.15\00:04:49.11
forth, back and
forth. Then picks up the
00:04:49.14\00:04:50.59
things and he
swish it all up, alright.
00:04:50.68\00:04:53.22
Who would ever
believe that could have
00:04:53.72\00:04:55.20
happened boys and
girls. Someone would
00:04:55.29\00:04:57.56
tell you that they
took millions of years
00:04:57.59\00:04:59.35
to do, don't
you ever believe it.
00:04:59.44\00:05:01.05
Our wonderful
heavenly Father made it
00:05:01.56\00:05:03.30
that way. Kin go
ahead, their beak look
00:05:03.36\00:05:04.82
like it's almost
broken, that's natural, right.
00:05:04.89\00:05:06.69
That's natural. That
is natural, that's the
00:05:06.72\00:05:08.27
way they do that,
right. Now tell me,
00:05:08.32\00:05:10.18
I see some of them
have bands on their
00:05:10.23\00:05:11.87
legs. Okay, every
captive birds like in this
00:05:11.92\00:05:15.62
park, they are
regulated by Feature Wildlife
00:05:15.67\00:05:17.79
and USDA, so they
need a band, that's band
00:05:18.46\00:05:21.09
is like their
names, so blue 36 we got to
00:05:21.18\00:05:24.19
have a record of
that animal how old he is,
00:05:24.22\00:05:26.55
how much he grows, how much he
00:05:27.08\00:05:28.12
weights, so
whenever they come in and
00:05:28.15\00:05:30.07
see the animal they
are healthy, you know
00:05:30.12\00:05:32.45
you can track
the animal life and
00:05:32.67\00:05:33.91
captivity. So that's
like their names blue 36
00:05:33.97\00:05:36.63
is that Flamingo.
And so that way they
00:05:37.01\00:05:39.79
keep track on
these animals when they
00:05:39.83\00:05:41.15
come in here, you
identify them because
00:05:41.35\00:05:44.31
that is true, you
look out, you can never
00:05:44.37\00:05:45.87
identify them all
could you without the names.
00:05:45.90\00:05:47.97
They look alike to
me though. They look
00:05:48.00\00:05:49.56
alike same to us,
but you have the band on,
00:05:49.59\00:05:51.69
so you know and
that's true boys and
00:05:51.82\00:05:53.57
girls you may have
seen cattle out in the
00:05:53.60\00:05:55.06
field that may have a ear tag,
00:05:55.10\00:05:56.41
that looks so
uncomfortable to me,
00:05:56.54\00:05:58.04
but that's the
farmer's way of keep track of.
00:05:58.21\00:06:00.08
Tell me we have some
smaller birds here Kin,
00:06:00.28\00:06:02.19
what are these birds
with the flesh colored
00:06:02.25\00:06:03.56
bills. Oh this is all
the freeloaders we have
00:06:03.63\00:06:06.01
in the park, they
are the white ibis.
00:06:06.15\00:06:08.03
Oh, I see they are
white ibis, now are there
00:06:08.67\00:06:10.29
other colored ibises.
We got the glossy ibis
00:06:10.37\00:06:13.04
and the red ibis. I
see so these are just the
00:06:13.12\00:06:15.46
white that we have.
This is just the white ibis,
00:06:15.49\00:06:17.23
they come here to
try to get all the free
00:06:17.26\00:06:19.33
food they can. I
see so they are just out
00:06:19.36\00:06:22.26
here looking for
something free to eat, yeah,
00:06:22.33\00:06:24.36
okay. How may
Flamingos do you have in the
00:06:24.86\00:06:27.78
park. We've got
more the fifty. More than
00:06:27.81\00:06:29.62
fifty. Now are these,
is an effort ever made
00:06:29.78\00:06:33.68
to release them to
the wild. No they are
00:06:33.71\00:06:35.92
captive in the park.
Something has happened
00:06:35.97\00:06:38.87
to them and so
they are left here.
00:06:38.90\00:06:40.24
No usually the
Flamingo someone that they
00:06:40.73\00:06:42.23
are fully flighted,
but when they are in wild
00:06:42.26\00:06:44.93
they need like
half a mile to take off,
00:06:45.54\00:06:47.06
and they don't have
the space, that's why
00:06:47.10\00:06:48.49
we can keep them in
the park, safe without
00:06:48.54\00:06:50.60
they going away.
So they will not fly,
00:06:50.64\00:06:52.72
they need how
much, like half a mile.
00:06:52.81\00:06:54.75
A half a mile to
take off, that's a big
00:06:54.95\00:06:56.51
landing strip, more or
less, yeah. Okay, we will
00:06:56.55\00:06:58.24
see even if it's a
quarter of a mile that's
00:06:58.35\00:07:00.00
a long way isn't it.
Now unlike some birds
00:07:00.03\00:07:02.54
we see the brown
pelicans when they start
00:07:02.61\00:07:04.40
to take off they use
their feet as straight
00:07:04.50\00:07:06.92
beating their
wings and their feet
00:07:07.00\00:07:08.14
synchronize them,
and that's the way
00:07:08.24\00:07:10.02
they get their lift
to take off. That's right
00:07:10.05\00:07:11.50
same thing as in
Flamingo. I never knew that
00:07:11.59\00:07:13.63
about the
Flamingo, so you can keep the
00:07:13.66\00:07:15.51
Flamingo here
without having a high cage,
00:07:15.60\00:07:17.50
that's right. And so
boys and girls aren't
00:07:17.77\00:07:19.28
they are beautiful
creature. I think they
00:07:19.34\00:07:20.65
are the one of the
most beautiful of all the
00:07:20.68\00:07:22.34
birds, and as our
friend Kin told us the lighter
00:07:22.37\00:07:25.40
colors, the
lighter shades you see are
00:07:25.47\00:07:27.31
juveniles, then when
they get to be older when
00:07:27.37\00:07:29.43
they come into
their mating plumage that
00:07:29.46\00:07:31.33
is when it gets to
be the flame colored,
00:07:31.36\00:07:33.12
just absolutely
gorgeous. So I hope that
00:07:33.50\00:07:36.72
you have enjoyed the
show as much as I have.
00:07:36.78\00:07:38.36
I have enjoyed so
much, Kin's being here with
00:07:38.39\00:07:40.43
us, and he has been
so helpful in the park,
00:07:40.46\00:07:42.30
and he is so
knowledgeable about so many
00:07:42.75\00:07:44.93
of these creatures.
So boys and girls with
00:07:45.06\00:07:47.42
this bird like all
creatures that we talk about,
00:07:47.51\00:07:49.59
you remember
that our God made it,
00:07:50.14\00:07:51.85
and he provides for
it, so as always Ranger Jim
00:07:51.94\00:07:54.74
here saying don't
forget to tell Jesus that you
00:07:54.84\00:07:57.13
love him because he
really does love you.
00:07:57.26\00:08:00.47
He has shown you,
oh man, what is good
00:08:23.74\00:08:31.11
And what the
Lord requires of thee:
00:08:32.30\00:08:39.45
But to do justly,
and to love mercy,
00:08:40.20\00:08:48.27
And to walk humbly with thy God.
00:08:48.34\00:08:55.66
He has shown you,
oh man, what is good
00:09:00.95\00:09:08.39
And what the
Lord requires of thee:
00:09:09.49\00:09:16.70
But to do justly,
and to love mercy,
00:09:17.37\00:09:25.40
And to walk humbly with thy God.
00:09:25.51\00:09:32.74
But to do justly,
and to love mercy,
00:09:33.95\00:09:42.06
And to walk humbly with thy God.
00:09:42.18\00:09:49.79
I don't hear
anything Crystal do you,
00:10:19.97\00:10:21.74
Andre do you. I don't
hear a thing Brittany.
00:10:23.34\00:10:27.28
I don't hear a thing
Brittany. Brittany what
00:10:27.77\00:10:31.01
are you guys doing.
Ira says that rocks are
00:10:31.09\00:10:33.70
gonna cry out. Well
the Bible says if thee
00:10:33.74\00:10:36.28
should hold their
peace the rocks will cry out,
00:10:36.36\00:10:38.56
but I know you are
not gonna let the rocks
00:10:38.93\00:10:40.78
or the valleys or the
mountains praise the Lord.
00:10:41.29\00:10:44.13
Ain't gonna let the
mountains praise the Lord
00:10:49.05\00:10:52.59
Ain't gonna let the
mountains praise the Lord
00:10:53.28\00:10:56.62
I'll shout it from the hills
00:10:57.11\00:10:58.96
Ye mountains all stand still
00:10:59.10\00:11:00.77
And I ain't gonna let
the mountains praise the lord
00:11:00.83\00:11:04.53
My hands were made to serve him
00:11:05.53\00:11:06.99
My heart was made to love him
00:11:07.18\00:11:09.02
My heart was made to love him
00:11:09.05\00:11:10.02
My voice was
made to lift and raise
00:11:10.03\00:11:11.04
And praise the lord
00:11:11.52\00:11:13.77
Ain't gonna let
the valleys sing for me
00:11:14.92\00:11:18.07
Ain't gonna let
the valleys sing for me
00:11:18.68\00:11:21.75
I'll lift my voice and sing
00:11:22.37\00:11:24.01
Hosannas to the King
00:11:24.42\00:11:26.18
And I ain't gonna let
the valleys sing for me
00:11:26.21\00:11:29.56
Ain't gonna let the
rocks cry out for me, no way,
00:11:32.87\00:11:36.00
Ain't gonna let the
rocks cry out for me, no way
00:11:36.74\00:11:39.82
I'll lift my voice and shout
00:11:40.30\00:11:41.83
So the rocks will not cry out
00:11:42.29\00:11:43.76
And I ain't gonna let
the rocks cry out for me
00:11:43.86\00:11:47.33
My hands were made to serve him
00:11:48.43\00:11:50.00
My heart was made to love him
00:11:50.25\00:11:52.04
My voice was
made to lift and raise
00:11:52.28\00:11:54.16
And praise the lord
00:11:54.19\00:11:56.16
My hands were made to serve him
00:11:56.31\00:11:57.95
My heart was made to love him
00:11:58.18\00:11:59.88
My voice was
made to lift and raise
00:12:00.21\00:12:01.99
And praise the lord
00:12:02.12\00:12:06.32
You know Brittany, I
don't hear anything either.
00:12:11.92\00:12:14.72
Hello my name is
Timothy. I just received
00:14:40.95\00:14:43.72
a letter from my
good friend Paul.
00:14:43.77\00:14:45.39
I've known Paul
for quiet sometime now.
00:14:47.26\00:14:49.03
The first time I
saw him was on his first
00:14:49.64\00:14:51.12
missionary trip to
my hometown of Lystra.
00:14:51.18\00:14:53.42
Lystra was not a very
large town, my mother,
00:14:53.84\00:14:56.83
she is a Jew and
my father is Greek.
00:14:57.45\00:14:59.18
My grandmother
lived with us as well,
00:15:00.09\00:15:01.80
and she is a Jew too.
My mother and grandmother
00:15:02.72\00:15:05.35
often told me
stories about God's people.
00:15:05.42\00:15:07.68
Some of my
favorites were about Samuel,
00:15:08.37\00:15:10.29
David, and Daniel,
great stories. They also
00:15:10.84\00:15:14.49
told me how God's
people look for messiah.
00:15:14.55\00:15:16.87
The messiah was
supposed to come and
00:15:17.55\00:15:18.95
deliver God's
people from captivity.
00:15:19.03\00:15:20.93
One day Paul and
his traveling companion
00:15:21.97\00:15:24.22
Barnabas came to
Lystra. They started
00:15:24.28\00:15:27.23
telling the
people that a man by the
00:15:27.35\00:15:29.09
name of Jesus had
come from heaven as
00:15:29.12\00:15:31.79
the messiah. Paul
told us how this Jesus
00:15:31.82\00:15:35.14
fulfilled all the
prophecies written about
00:15:35.31\00:15:37.26
the messiah by
prophets long ago.
00:15:37.29\00:15:39.65
I was very excited about this.
00:15:40.81\00:15:42.53
My mother and
grandmother often told
00:15:43.11\00:15:44.63
me about the
prophecies concerning the
00:15:44.66\00:15:46.20
messiah. They
explained to me that a
00:15:46.28\00:15:48.39
prophecy is
something that is recorded
00:15:48.52\00:15:51.09
about the future.
So when it comes to
00:15:51.29\00:15:53.77
past, we will know
it is from God because
00:15:53.80\00:15:57.87
only God knows
the future. Paul and
00:15:57.96\00:16:00.97
Barnabas stayed at
our house whenever they
00:16:01.00\00:16:03.07
were on that
first missionary trip.
00:16:03.10\00:16:05.03
They explained in
detail how Jesus came
00:16:05.55\00:16:08.13
to this earth and
died on a cross and
00:16:08.16\00:16:11.04
resurrected three
days later. By doing this
00:16:11.17\00:16:14.91
Jesus died in our
place as a sinner,
00:16:15.40\00:16:18.15
so we can live
forever. Now that is amazing
00:16:18.70\00:16:22.29
love. Paul told us
many wonderful stories
00:16:22.32\00:16:25.31
about Jesus, and his
ministry on this earth.
00:16:25.34\00:16:27.82
Jesus didn't come
as a deliver from the
00:16:28.61\00:16:30.53
physical captivity,
but he came to free us
00:16:30.56\00:16:33.16
from our sins and to
give us peace not war.
00:16:33.23\00:16:36.37
Paul shared with
us that Jesus told his
00:16:37.40\00:16:39.45
disciples to go into
all the world teaching
00:16:39.59\00:16:42.01
the people about Jesus
and the Ten Commandments.
00:16:42.04\00:16:44.63
I was only a small
boy then, but I knew
00:16:45.44\00:16:48.47
that I wanted to work for Jesus.
00:16:48.50\00:16:49.94
From then on, I
started studying the scripture
00:16:50.84\00:16:53.07
more and telling
others about the wonderful
00:16:53.63\00:16:55.62
news of Jesus. It
was a few years later
00:16:55.69\00:16:59.37
when Paul came
through Lystra again,
00:16:59.94\00:17:01.63
I wasn't a little
boy anymore, but I was
00:17:02.52\00:17:04.53
still young. I
wanted to follow Paul and
00:17:04.56\00:17:08.02
be a missionary
telling others about the
00:17:08.05\00:17:10.46
great news of
Jesus. Paul sat down and
00:17:10.49\00:17:13.37
talked with my
mother and grandmother
00:17:13.54\00:17:14.97
about my
desires. They both agreed,
00:17:15.02\00:17:17.90
I was ready to go.
After much praying,
00:17:18.09\00:17:21.02
I realized that
sharing Jesus fulltime is
00:17:21.58\00:17:24.27
what God wanted
me to do and so it
00:17:24.37\00:17:26.92
was I started my
lifelong journey from
00:17:26.99\00:17:29.67
Lystra ministering
to others about Jesus,
00:17:29.70\00:17:32.26
the son of God.
Over the next few years
00:17:32.93\00:17:36.36
Paul, I and others
went from town to town
00:17:36.71\00:17:39.70
healing the sick,
telling people about the
00:17:40.12\00:17:42.23
wonderful news of
Jesus and bringing peace
00:17:42.30\00:17:44.60
to those without it.
After traveling with Paul
00:17:44.88\00:17:48.22
for sometime he
decided that it was
00:17:48.31\00:17:50.46
time to send me and
another disciple on our
00:17:50.51\00:17:53.03
own. We had been
to many, many cities,
00:17:53.12\00:17:56.69
and there were lot
of churches. We heard
00:17:57.14\00:17:59.58
how some of these
churches had fallen from
00:17:59.62\00:18:01.70
doing what is right.
Well it was our job to
00:18:01.85\00:18:05.51
go to these
cities, strengthening the
00:18:05.54\00:18:07.64
believers in the
truth once again.
00:18:07.76\00:18:09.84
I remember coming
here to Ephesus with
00:18:10.97\00:18:13.56
Paul and the others.
Ephesus is a large city
00:18:13.64\00:18:17.42
filled with
idolatry and much wickedness.
00:18:17.84\00:18:20.37
It was here I had
most of my challenges
00:18:21.42\00:18:24.16
because of the size
and the conditions of
00:18:24.75\00:18:26.82
the city, Paul
stayed here longer than in
00:18:26.90\00:18:29.37
any other city.
But as always the
00:18:29.49\00:18:33.95
nonbelievers
became angry with Paul.
00:18:33.99\00:18:36.21
So many people were
turning from the idol
00:18:36.89\00:18:38.83
worship. It was hurting
business here in Ephesus.
00:18:38.86\00:18:41.73
The idol worshippers
started plotting Paul's
00:18:42.53\00:18:44.28
death. We had to do something,
00:18:44.39\00:18:46.93
so the believers
all encouraged Paul to
00:18:47.80\00:18:49.67
leave for his own
safety. The church in
00:18:49.71\00:18:53.40
Ephesus was like a
new plant in the wind.
00:18:53.47\00:18:56.50
It had a good
start, but with too much
00:18:58.51\00:19:02.40
wind it will break.
Paul called all the believers
00:19:02.57\00:19:06.41
together to decide
who would stay behind
00:19:06.53\00:19:09.13
and minister to the
growth of this young
00:19:09.33\00:19:11.79
church. After some
discussion and prayer
00:19:11.91\00:19:14.88
they chose me, so
it was, I became one
00:19:15.32\00:19:18.94
of the first
ordained pastors for Christ.
00:19:18.97\00:19:21.78
I was so excited
but I had the sense of
00:19:22.45\00:19:26.06
sadness too. I had
traveled many places
00:19:26.09\00:19:29.91
with Paul. He
become like a father to me.
00:19:29.94\00:19:32.79
Now we must
separate. Maybe this is similar
00:19:33.82\00:19:37.63
to what Jesus felt
on the cross when he
00:19:37.75\00:19:40.39
was separated from
his Father in heaven.
00:19:40.42\00:19:43.09
I often think of
Paul and our journeys,
00:19:44.90\00:19:47.05
our trials, and
happy times together.
00:19:47.60\00:19:49.75
It is so nice to
receive such an inspiring
00:19:51.20\00:19:54.24
letter from him,
from my friend Paul.
00:19:54.31\00:19:57.95
Being a pastor
at such a young age,
00:19:59.29\00:20:01.42
I had so many
things to learn yet,
00:20:02.16\00:20:04.10
I even felt
somewhat intimated because
00:20:04.74\00:20:06.54
of my youth.
That caused me not to
00:20:06.58\00:20:09.55
standup for
issues I should have,
00:20:09.59\00:20:11.86
but Paul like a
good Father wrote me,
00:20:12.63\00:20:15.21
encouraging me,
telling me not to let the
00:20:15.76\00:20:18.11
people look down
on me just because
00:20:18.20\00:20:20.18
I am young. One
of the most important
00:20:20.29\00:20:23.77
things that I have
learned from Paul is how
00:20:23.89\00:20:26.34
to love Jesus.
No matter how young,
00:20:26.42\00:20:29.74
how old or what
disability a person may have,
00:20:30.30\00:20:33.57
they can share that love with
00:20:34.23\00:20:35.47
others and you can do that too.
00:20:35.56\00:20:38.81
All night, all day
Angels watchin' over me, my lord
00:20:58.23\00:21:06.95
All night, all day
Angels watchin' over me
00:21:07.40\00:21:15.70
Sweet Lord, Sweet Savior,
00:21:16.40\00:21:20.41
I want you to carry me, O Lord,
00:21:20.95\00:21:24.94
Sweet Lord, Sweet Savior
00:21:24.97\00:21:29.31
Angels watchin' over me, my lord
00:21:29.94\00:21:33.98
Sweet Lord, Sweet Savior
00:21:36.01\00:21:38.50
Angels watchin' over me, my lord
00:21:39.00\00:21:42.81
Sweet Lord, Sweet Savior,
00:21:42.89\00:21:47.43
I want you to carry me, O Lord,
00:21:47.79\00:21:52.47
I want to thank Bailey, Guthrie,
00:22:01.94\00:22:03.10
and Wagner Family
for that beautiful song.
00:22:03.14\00:22:05.27
You know they live
in North Carolina and
00:22:05.73\00:22:07.11
drove a long way
to be here. And I just
00:22:07.17\00:22:08.83
want to thank you so
much. Well today I'd like
00:22:08.86\00:22:11.43
to introduce
you to Allen Powell.
00:22:11.47\00:22:13.91
Hi Allen, hi. Thank
you for being here today.
00:22:13.97\00:22:17.10
Now you have a
prayer ministry, what is the
00:22:17.69\00:22:19.53
prayer ministry? I
pray for everything.
00:22:19.56\00:22:22.88
You pray for
everything, yes. Like what
00:22:23.02\00:22:25.26
would you pray for?
Whenever I hear like
00:22:25.29\00:22:27.67
a siren I start to
pray. Now wait a minute,
00:22:27.70\00:22:30.07
a siren like? A police
siren and ambulance siren,
00:22:30.14\00:22:33.88
a fire siren. Anytime
if you hear siren you know
00:22:34.34\00:22:37.89
somebody is in need,
right. Yes. And you start
00:22:37.98\00:22:40.20
to pray for them.
Now what kind of things
00:22:40.26\00:22:41.77
would you pray? For
their healing and that
00:22:41.89\00:22:45.50
they will be
saved in God's kingdom.
00:22:45.54\00:22:49.16
Oh that's a
wonderful thing to pray for,
00:22:49.63\00:22:52.07
isn't it boys and
girls, that's wonderful.
00:22:52.10\00:22:54.68
So now what about
if you happened to see
00:22:55.17\00:22:57.37
the news at night. If
there is something like
00:22:57.40\00:23:00.87
somebody got in
trouble or something like
00:23:00.92\00:23:02.64
that I pray too. So if
you see some bad happen
00:23:02.72\00:23:05.90
on the news you
pray for them, so you are
00:23:05.98\00:23:07.67
a wonderful prayer
warrior. You brought a
00:23:07.70\00:23:09.78
picture did you,
can I see the picture.
00:23:09.86\00:23:11.69
You are gonna hold
that up, and that's a
00:23:12.82\00:23:14.18
picture, and there
is an ambulance in that
00:23:14.26\00:23:15.93
picture, so every
time you see an ambulance,
00:23:16.04\00:23:18.21
you see an
opportunity to pray, right. Yes.
00:23:18.91\00:23:21.20
Oh that's
wonderful. Well would you do me
00:23:21.63\00:23:23.95
a favor Allen? Would
you pray for Kids Time,
00:23:23.98\00:23:27.41
yes. And then ask
Jesus to just touch so
00:23:27.70\00:23:30.41
many hearts and
bring them closer to Jesus
00:23:30.52\00:23:32.43
from watching Kids
Time, would you be a
00:23:32.55\00:23:34.34
prayer warrior for
me, yes. Thank you,
00:23:34.41\00:23:37.11
well you know I have
some letters boys and
00:23:37.73\00:23:38.90
girls I like to read
to. This letter is from
00:23:39.03\00:23:41.55
Jamaica, and I am
gonna let you hold up
00:23:41.63\00:23:43.31
this envelope
because I want the boys and
00:23:43.34\00:23:44.61

00:24:52.37\00:24:54.17
her. Well thank you

00:24:55.93\00:24:58.40
another letter here
and let's see I have,
00:24:58.47\00:25:01.64
can you hold
another picture for me,
00:25:02.03\00:25:03.54
isn't she adorable.
This is dear Miss Brenda,
00:25:03.57\00:25:06.38
my name is Bridgett
Chowkan, I am two and
00:25:06.42\00:25:09.17
a half years old,
and I am from Romania.
00:25:09.21\00:25:11.49
My Bunica, I think
that's Bunica is writing
00:25:11.61\00:25:16.22
this letter for
me, and Bunika means
00:25:16.25\00:25:17.95
grandmother in
Romania. I still call her
00:25:18.00\00:25:21.19
Mica because I
can say Bunica yet.
00:25:21.28\00:25:23.52
I share Jesus by
smiling, and I smile all
00:25:24.18\00:25:26.45
the time. My mother
said I started smiling
00:25:26.53\00:25:28.97
shortly after I was
born. I smile at people
00:25:29.07\00:25:31.70
in the stores and
you know what most of the
00:25:31.73\00:25:33.50
time they smile back
at me. I even have people
00:25:33.56\00:25:36.25
come up to me and
my mom didn't talk to
00:25:36.47\00:25:38.00
me because I smile at
them. My family thinks
00:25:38.08\00:25:40.88
that smiling at
people is a very good way
00:25:40.98\00:25:43.57
to start sharing
Jesus, and I am sending
00:25:43.66\00:25:45.89
you a picture of me
in my Bunica's dress
00:25:45.92\00:25:48.31
that she wore when
she was two years old.
00:25:48.43\00:25:50.57
I love Jesus,
love Bridgett Chowkan.
00:25:50.97\00:25:53.73
Well thank you for
your letter, I really like
00:25:54.16\00:25:56.20
that letter, and I
might have one more real
00:25:56.27\00:25:59.19
quickly. This one
is from Washington,
00:25:59.32\00:26:02.66
and let's see if I
can get it open here.
00:26:03.34\00:26:06.08
It said dear Miss
Brenda, it says I like soccer,
00:26:07.22\00:26:11.41
and I like bikes, and
I give out Bible books.
00:26:11.44\00:26:14.11
I live in the country,
and I am eight years old,
00:26:14.61\00:26:17.33
love Michael.
Well thank you Michael,
00:26:18.08\00:26:20.25
