Thank you, Christine.
00:00:16.58\00:00:17.91
I give you Jesus.
00:00:17.95\00:00:19.28
And what we're talking about
00:00:19.31\00:00:20.65
is bringing
Jesus to New York City,
00:00:20.68\00:00:22.42
Metro New York City,
00:00:22.45\00:00:23.82
and then from there
to the rest of the world.
00:00:23.85\00:00:26.69
And, gentlemen, I've
been thinking about this,
00:00:26.72\00:00:28.96
New York City really is
00:00:28.99\00:00:30.33
this diverse
melting pot of people.
00:00:30.36\00:00:32.93
That's where the United
Nations is headquartered.
00:00:32.96\00:00:35.10
And we have more
than 800 languages,
00:00:35.13\00:00:37.10
people from all over
the world living there.
00:00:37.13\00:00:39.60
Tell me a little bit
about the diversity in New York.
00:00:39.63\00:00:41.87
How do we tackle that?
00:00:41.90\00:00:43.24
What does that
mean for our work?
00:00:43.27\00:00:44.61
What's New York like?
00:00:44.64\00:00:45.97
I mean, I know
some people watching
00:00:46.01\00:00:47.34
maybe have never set
foot in Greater New York City.
00:00:47.38\00:00:50.65
Actually, Shawn,
00:00:50.68\00:00:52.55
we know now that
over 200,000 people
00:00:52.58\00:00:56.28
move into cities
every single year.
00:00:56.32\00:00:58.45
And the same thing is
happening in New York City.
00:00:58.49\00:01:01.16
And what a
tremendous, diverse city it is,
00:01:01.19\00:01:04.69
with, as you
said, over 800 languages
00:01:04.73\00:01:07.46
in that city alone.
00:01:07.50\00:01:08.96
We have a great, great
challenge and an opportunity
00:01:09.00\00:01:13.07
to reach these
people of New York City.
00:01:13.10\00:01:14.97
So how do we do it?
00:01:15.00\00:01:16.91
How do you bite off a project
that big, 800 language groups,
00:01:16.94\00:01:20.34
and it's more
than language diversity
00:01:20.38\00:01:21.84
in New York
City, you've got all...
00:01:21.88\00:01:23.31
I mean, you've got lot of people
00:01:23.35\00:01:24.68
that grew up there.
00:01:24.71\00:01:26.05
But they have
different walks of life,
00:01:26.08\00:01:27.42
there are different mentalities,
00:01:27.45\00:01:28.78
different philosophies.
00:01:28.82\00:01:30.15
When anytime
you get, what is it?
00:01:30.19\00:01:31.79
Nearly 20
million people together.
00:01:31.82\00:01:33.89
You're going to have
some diversity in that group.
00:01:33.92\00:01:35.82
How do we approach
that kind of diversity
00:01:35.86\00:01:37.63
in a project like this?
00:01:37.66\00:01:39.29
Well, Shawn, in
Greater New York Conference,
00:01:39.33\00:01:42.03
we have about 30
different language groups
00:01:42.06\00:01:46.23
that are currently functioning.
00:01:46.27\00:01:47.64
Obviously, we want to reach out
00:01:47.67\00:01:49.80
to touch the lives
of many of these 800,
00:01:49.84\00:01:53.41
we're almost 800
other language group.
00:01:53.44\00:01:58.05
We are equipping
our members right now
00:01:58.08\00:02:01.48
to be able to reach out
00:02:01.52\00:02:06.79
to these various groups.
00:02:06.82\00:02:08.26
Also, evangelists from
various parts of the world
00:02:08.29\00:02:11.73
are going to be
coming in and helping us
00:02:11.76\00:02:15.80
to accomplish this task.
00:02:15.83\00:02:17.37
And so we're
going to be praying,
00:02:17.40\00:02:19.77
praying that
Pentecost be repeated.
00:02:19.80\00:02:25.07
And that our
members through prayer,
00:02:25.11\00:02:28.04
some small group,
through evangelistic series,
00:02:28.08\00:02:30.61
through community outreach,
00:02:30.65\00:02:32.21
and various other method
00:02:32.25\00:02:34.48
will be able to
reach these people.
00:02:34.52\00:02:38.12
And it's only with
the help of the Lord
00:02:38.15\00:02:39.59
that we can have the wisdom
00:02:39.62\00:02:41.56
how to tackle this
gigantic task, challenge.
00:02:41.59\00:02:44.93
But I believe,
00:02:44.96\00:02:46.29
part of the
reaching this through,
00:02:46.33\00:02:49.03
doing the common things
like the community services
00:02:49.06\00:02:53.37
and letting the
people see that the gospel
00:02:53.40\00:02:57.71
that the church
is, it touches them,
00:02:57.74\00:02:59.97
feeling, meeting their needs.
00:03:00.01\00:03:03.45
That's what Jesus said,
then you bid them to follow.
00:03:03.48\00:03:06.58
So through our
community services,
00:03:06.61\00:03:09.05
through the health ministries,
00:03:09.08\00:03:10.42
and everybody these days
are interested in health.
00:03:10.45\00:03:13.89
And that's those are
some of the approaches
00:03:13.92\00:03:15.69
that we need to do
before we come with the gospel.
00:03:15.72\00:03:19.06
Develop these relationships
00:03:19.09\00:03:23.37
will help us
reaching the cities.
00:03:23.40\00:03:26.17
So much diversity,
00:03:26.20\00:03:27.64
it seems to me that we
really have an advantage
00:03:27.67\00:03:29.70
with all of our church members.
00:03:29.74\00:03:31.97
We're all diverse, we all
come from different backgrounds,
00:03:32.01\00:03:34.18
different walks of life,
some of us born in this church,
00:03:34.21\00:03:36.31
some of us born
outside of the church,
00:03:36.34\00:03:38.35
from different
ethnic backgrounds,
00:03:38.38\00:03:40.15
cultural backgrounds,
00:03:40.18\00:03:41.52
it seems like
there'd be something
00:03:41.55\00:03:42.88
for just about
everybody to do, wouldn't there?
00:03:42.92\00:03:44.52
And I've heard
a number of things
00:03:44.55\00:03:45.89
being mentioned health outreach,
00:03:45.92\00:03:48.12
literature outreach, and do...
00:03:48.16\00:03:51.43
But there's one thing
I think, in evangelism,
00:03:51.46\00:03:54.10
I've always
looked at it like this.
00:03:54.13\00:03:57.27
I don't ever want
everybody to do everything,
00:03:57.30\00:03:59.03
or just a few groups of
people to do everything.
00:03:59.07\00:04:01.44
But this seems
like an opportunity
00:04:01.47\00:04:03.00
for every member to do something
00:04:03.04\00:04:05.61
for the Lord to engage.
00:04:05.64\00:04:06.98
Whatever they can, right.
00:04:07.01\00:04:08.34
To fight in their
armor to do something.
00:04:08.38\00:04:10.85
And still, so
some may be preachers,
00:04:10.88\00:04:12.91
some may be
comfortable going door-to-door
00:04:12.95\00:04:15.12
and serving the community,
handing out literature,
00:04:15.15\00:04:17.69
others are very comfortable
00:04:17.72\00:04:19.05
in the health
outreach and those things,
00:04:19.09\00:04:20.59
but there is one
thing that we can all do.
00:04:20.62\00:04:22.49
We can all do.
00:04:22.52\00:04:23.86
We can pray. We can pray.
00:04:23.89\00:04:25.23
Now, there is a big prayer
00:04:25.26\00:04:26.59
initiative
coming up, isn't there?
00:04:26.63\00:04:27.96
Yes, there is, Shawn.
00:04:28.00\00:04:29.33
Our steering committee
00:04:29.36\00:04:30.70
is working with
the five conferences
00:04:30.73\00:04:32.07
and two unions in Metro New York
00:04:32.10\00:04:33.90
to have a prayer
rally, and evangelism,
00:04:33.94\00:04:36.60
and prayer rally September
21, and 22 of this year 2012.
00:04:36.64\00:04:40.88
Okay.
00:04:40.91\00:04:42.24
We hope to have a
tremendous program
00:04:42.28\00:04:44.98
and this program will
be uplinked and downlinked
00:04:45.01\00:04:48.08
to the various
churches in New York City
00:04:48.12\00:04:50.55
and wherever else
through Hope channel.
00:04:50.59\00:04:52.69
So even if I
don't live in New York,
00:04:52.72\00:04:54.29
I can still
participate in prayer rally.
00:04:54.32\00:04:55.66
Absolutely.
00:04:55.69\00:04:57.03
Not only that, but you can
also watch it on the internet,
00:04:57.06\00:05:00.96
on your iPad, your iPhone,
00:05:01.00\00:05:03.03
it will be
streamed on your computer.
00:05:03.06\00:05:05.37
So you will have a
tremendous opportunity
00:05:05.40\00:05:08.07
to be part of this prayer
rally with Pastor Ted Wilson,
00:05:08.10\00:05:11.64
and Pastor Dan Jackson,
and others, and so many others
00:05:11.67\00:05:15.41
that would participate in
this from all around the city.
00:05:15.44\00:05:17.98
So in addition,
it's on the internet,
00:05:18.01\00:05:20.28
I can watch it on my iPad,
on my iPhone, on my Android,
00:05:20.32\00:05:22.85
even though you won't find.
00:05:22.88\00:05:24.22
Wherever you are in the world.
Wherever I'm in the world.
00:05:24.25\00:05:25.92
You won't find an
Android in my house,
00:05:25.95\00:05:27.29
so we are an Apple household.
00:05:27.32\00:05:29.72
We're an Apple household.
00:05:29.76\00:05:31.13
But if you're not an
Apple household, go ahead,
00:05:31.16\00:05:33.43
watch it on your Android,
try to enjoy that experience.
00:05:33.46\00:05:36.40
It's also on 3ABN
and on Hope Channel,
00:05:36.43\00:05:39.47
you'll be able to watch
it on television as well.
00:05:39.50\00:05:42.00
And that happens
again, September...?
00:05:42.04\00:05:43.77
September 21 and 22.
00:05:43.81\00:05:45.67
So a Friday
evening and a Sabbath,
00:05:45.71\00:05:48.68
the morning and the afternoon.
00:05:48.71\00:05:50.35
So if summer is over,
00:05:50.38\00:05:51.91
it's time to get
to the prayer rally.
00:05:51.95\00:05:53.28
Right.
00:05:53.31\00:05:54.65
That's right at the
turn of summer to fall.
00:05:54.68\00:05:56.72
And, Shawn, we
want to say this that
00:05:56.75\00:05:58.62
we want to bathe and inundate
00:05:58.65\00:06:00.52
this entire operation in prayer.
00:06:00.56\00:06:02.29
All right.
00:06:02.32\00:06:03.66
This is why we're
having this prayer rally.
00:06:03.69\00:06:05.03
We want our people
to come together to pray
00:06:05.06\00:06:07.23
for NY13 for the
evangelistic campaigns.
00:06:07.26\00:06:10.57
Over 300 of them
00:06:10.60\00:06:11.93
that to be held
in New York City.
00:06:11.97\00:06:13.30
How many again?
Three hundred campaigns.
00:06:13.34\00:06:15.07
Three hundred
campaigns in one city.
00:06:15.10\00:06:16.64
In 2013.
00:06:16.67\00:06:18.44
Well, that seems
worthy of prayer.
00:06:18.47\00:06:20.54
Yes. Let me ask this question.
00:06:20.58\00:06:23.14
We often hear, pray for this,
pray for this, pray for this.
00:06:23.18\00:06:26.18
Gentlemen, why does
prayer make a difference?
00:06:26.21\00:06:28.55
Why is it, I mean,
00:06:28.58\00:06:29.92
in my opinion, as an evangelist,
00:06:29.95\00:06:31.45
that's the most important
thing we can begin with.
00:06:31.49\00:06:33.22
That's the starting ground.
00:06:33.25\00:06:34.59
But what does prayer
do? How does it change us?
00:06:34.62\00:06:35.96
Well, Shawn, I
think prayer connect
00:06:35.99\00:06:37.53
people with people firstly.
00:06:37.56\00:06:40.66
And secondly, it
connects them with God.
00:06:40.70\00:06:45.43
I think when people
are engaged with prayer,
00:06:45.47\00:06:50.17
they feel a part of the program,
00:06:50.21\00:06:52.51
they feel a part of the process
00:06:52.54\00:06:56.01
of leading people to Christ.
00:06:56.04\00:07:00.38
So prayer is important to
engage people in a process.
00:07:00.42\00:07:05.62
And it's more than that,
00:07:05.65\00:07:06.99
is the work that we
do is beyond ourselves.
00:07:07.02\00:07:11.33
It's a spiritual work.
00:07:11.36\00:07:13.43
And we need the
help of the Holy Spirit,
00:07:13.46\00:07:16.33
it not only
engages us with the people,
00:07:16.36\00:07:19.10
but it does something for
us who are involved in it.
00:07:19.13\00:07:23.00
I'd have to agree with
that. And you know what?
00:07:23.04\00:07:24.81
It seems like
it's a great moment
00:07:24.84\00:07:26.88
actually to stop
and pray right now.
00:07:26.91\00:07:29.34
Why don't we pray for New
York and for the whole project,
00:07:29.38\00:07:32.85
and take a moment and
bring the whole thing?
00:07:32.88\00:07:35.15
And wherever you are,
00:07:35.18\00:07:36.52
I'd asked you to watch
not just with your eyes,
00:07:36.55\00:07:39.72
but with your
heart at this moment
00:07:39.75\00:07:41.09
to enjoin us in prayer.
00:07:41.12\00:07:42.82
And we've got
Elder Don King praying,
00:07:42.86\00:07:46.29
and Jose Cortez,
president of New Jersey.
00:07:46.33\00:07:48.90
Let's stop for a
little prayer at this moment.
00:07:48.93\00:07:51.17
Let's do that right now.
00:07:51.20\00:07:52.53
Our Heavenly Father,
00:07:52.57\00:07:53.90
we in the wonderful
00:07:53.94\00:07:55.27
and precious
name of Jesus Christ,
00:07:55.30\00:07:56.97
we just want to thank
You for the opportunity
00:07:57.01\00:08:00.14
that we have today and tomorrow.
00:08:00.18\00:08:03.51
And as long as You
give us life, Lord,
00:08:03.55\00:08:06.51
to spread the
everlasting gospel of Jesus,
00:08:06.55\00:08:09.62
and to share with
our brothers and sisters,
00:08:09.65\00:08:12.35
and people in the street,
and wherever we go, Lord,
00:08:12.39\00:08:15.22
NY13 is a wonderful
opportunity for all of us,
00:08:15.26\00:08:19.36
as church members,
as brothers and sisters,
00:08:19.39\00:08:21.63
believers in Christ to reach out
00:08:21.66\00:08:24.47
and touch the hearts and
lives of our fellow New Yorkers,
00:08:24.50\00:08:28.40
and to endeavor to
point them to the one person
00:08:28.44\00:08:32.97
that can be the
answer to their problems,
00:08:33.01\00:08:35.88
their solutions in this life.
00:08:35.91\00:08:38.48
I pray, Lord, that
You will bless NY13,
00:08:38.51\00:08:41.32
and bless our church members,
00:08:41.35\00:08:42.92
and bless all our
people as we work together
00:08:42.95\00:08:45.42
towards this great
and gigantic initiative
00:08:45.45\00:08:49.36
in reaching the cities
for Jesus Christ, amen.
00:08:49.39\00:08:52.96
Amen.
00:08:52.99\00:08:54.33
Now, Father,
00:08:54.36\00:08:56.40
You know that this
mission is greater than us,
00:08:56.43\00:08:59.67
we cannot do it for our self.
00:08:59.70\00:09:02.04
So please give us
00:09:02.07\00:09:03.41
a double portion
of the Holy Spirit.
00:09:03.44\00:09:06.04
Bless every pastor,
00:09:06.07\00:09:08.71
bless every elder of the church,
00:09:08.74\00:09:11.61
bless every
member of the church,
00:09:11.65\00:09:13.45
and help us to have the
power to go to the streets
00:09:13.48\00:09:16.55
and find the people
that need to meet Jesus.
00:09:16.58\00:09:19.32
They need Jesus
00:09:19.35\00:09:20.69
and we need to
give Jesus to them.
00:09:20.72\00:09:22.66
But please, Father,
00:09:22.69\00:09:24.03
bless all the
structure because the structure
00:09:24.06\00:09:26.73
without Your
blessing is nothing,
00:09:26.76\00:09:28.63
and we need to receive
the power of the Holy Spirit
00:09:28.66\00:09:32.73
in order to be successful
in this beautiful opportunity
00:09:32.77\00:09:38.21
to serve in the area
of New York metropolitan.
00:09:38.24\00:09:42.54
Bless us, because we pray
in the name of Jesus, amen.
00:09:42.58\00:09:45.98
Amen. Amen.
00:09:46.01\00:09:48.05
That's the beginning
of a mighty prayer army.
00:09:48.08\00:09:50.79
And I'm excited about
what's going to happen.
00:09:50.82\00:09:52.65
Now, prayer is
something everybody can do.
00:09:52.69\00:09:56.32
There is another
thing that everybody can do
00:09:56.36\00:09:58.76
and that is
pitching financially.
00:09:58.79\00:10:01.73
And you know, I
was so deeply moved
00:10:01.76\00:10:03.10
when I heard about...
00:10:03.13\00:10:05.13
Because you
transit to the finances,
00:10:05.17\00:10:07.10
I need to say
something about prayer.
00:10:07.14\00:10:09.10
Prayer is no
preparation for the mission,
00:10:09.14\00:10:12.31
is our mission itself.
00:10:12.34\00:10:14.71
In this invite them of
a revival and reformation.
00:10:14.74\00:10:19.58
Everything begins with prayer.
00:10:19.61\00:10:21.48
People believe
reformation needs to be critical
00:10:21.52\00:10:24.22
and trying to purify
somebody else, but this is not.
00:10:24.25\00:10:27.39
The Bible and the Spirit
of Prophecy is very clear.
00:10:27.42\00:10:30.73
Real reformation and
revival begin with prayer.
00:10:30.76\00:10:33.50
And when we pray, we
are going to do the mission,
00:10:33.53\00:10:36.77
and we are going
to do Bible stories
00:10:36.80\00:10:39.07
and an army of people
praying and doing Bible stories
00:10:39.10\00:10:42.30
are going to bring success
to this important mission
00:10:42.34\00:10:46.27
that the GC, NID,
00:10:46.31\00:10:48.91
the unions and the
conferences are embracing.
00:10:48.94\00:10:51.18
Amen.
00:10:51.21\00:10:52.55
Just go for it. Amen.
00:10:52.58\00:10:53.92
I want to say to
you as you're watching.
00:10:53.95\00:10:55.38
As an evangelist, I've
seen it time and time again,
00:10:55.42\00:10:57.85
if you walk
through a neighborhood,
00:10:57.89\00:10:59.22
and pray over the houses,
00:10:59.25\00:11:00.59
and then send out an invitation,
00:11:00.62\00:11:02.19
the response is
two, three, four times
00:11:02.22\00:11:04.13
as great as if
you hadn't prayed.
00:11:04.16\00:11:05.93
I'd like you to make a
commitment at this moment
00:11:05.96\00:11:07.93
to pray for what's
happening in New York City
00:11:07.96\00:11:09.96
because it's going to
spill across the whole world.
00:11:10.00\00:11:11.90
This is huge.
00:11:11.93\00:11:13.27
Make a covenant with
me at this moment to pray.
00:11:13.30\00:11:16.27
And the other thing
that you can do is support.
00:11:16.30\00:11:19.61
Elder King, you
mentioned a moment ago,
00:11:19.64\00:11:21.04
39 cents for a copy
of the Great Hope book.
00:11:21.08\00:11:24.75
And as I heard
that, I thought, you know,
00:11:24.78\00:11:26.31
my family really
could do 1,000 copies,
00:11:26.35\00:11:28.68
we could band together.
00:11:28.72\00:11:30.05
My daughter's, my wife and I,
00:11:30.09\00:11:31.49
and I think that's
what we're going to do.
00:11:31.52\00:11:33.05
We're in for 1,000...
00:11:33.09\00:11:34.42
We're gonna do the same, Shawn.
00:11:34.46\00:11:35.79
Another thousand.
We're gonna do the same.
00:11:35.82\00:11:37.16
Absolutely.
00:11:37.19\00:11:38.53
Why don't you
pray about it, too?
00:11:38.56\00:11:39.89
I mean, 1,000
copies, maybe your family
00:11:39.93\00:11:41.26
that's not that
much of a stretch.
00:11:41.30\00:11:42.63
Maybe you could
take a step of faith
00:11:42.66\00:11:44.60
and think about 10,000 copies,
00:11:44.63\00:11:46.20
if the Lord has
blessed you like that.
00:11:46.23\00:11:47.64
There are people
who are gifted such
00:11:47.67\00:11:49.34
they could do 100,000 copies
00:11:49.37\00:11:51.14
if the Lord laid
that on their hearts.
00:11:51.17\00:11:52.97
And I'd ask you
to pray about that.
00:11:53.01\00:11:54.94
What would the Lord
have you do in New York City?
00:11:54.98\00:11:57.55
Everybody could
take a leap of faith.
00:11:57.58\00:11:59.08
And I've discovered that
00:11:59.11\00:12:00.45
when you take
that leap of faith,
00:12:00.48\00:12:02.25
the Lord never
leaves you hanging.
00:12:02.28\00:12:04.15
He never makes it impossible.
00:12:04.19\00:12:05.65
The prayer I've
often prayed is, Lord,
00:12:05.69\00:12:07.79
here's what I would do
if you made it possible.
00:12:07.82\00:12:09.59
And then I
stretched just a little bit.
00:12:09.62\00:12:11.26
And I'd encourage
you to do the same thing.
00:12:11.29\00:12:13.43
Lord, here's what I would do.
00:12:13.46\00:12:15.40
If you would make it possible,
and watch what would happen.
00:12:15.43\00:12:17.70
Now, if somebody wanted to give
00:12:17.73\00:12:20.84
they can do that at NY13.org.
00:12:20.87\00:12:24.71
The information
they need is there.
00:12:24.74\00:12:26.07
Yep.
00:12:26.11\00:12:27.44
There's the
button right at the top
00:12:27.48\00:12:28.81
that says, "Donate."
00:12:28.84\00:12:30.18
Great.
00:12:30.21\00:12:31.55
I think we can move
the world if we pray.
00:12:31.58\00:12:33.55
And if we get behind this thing,
00:12:33.58\00:12:34.98
I think the Lord ways to see
us getting behind this thing.
00:12:35.02\00:12:37.29
Gentlemen, I have
burned through all of our time.
00:12:37.32\00:12:39.42
I have used it all.
00:12:39.45\00:12:40.79
But I want to
thank you so much...
00:12:40.82\00:12:43.32
And very
profitable. For being here.
00:12:43.36\00:12:44.69
And I'm excited
by some of the ways
00:12:44.73\00:12:46.16
that God is really
blessing in the field.
00:12:46.19\00:12:49.40
Shawn, I do think we
have an army of youth
00:12:49.43\00:12:53.27
that are ready and willing
to be engaged in the academies,
00:12:53.30\00:12:58.34
in the elementary
schools, and in the college,
00:12:58.37\00:13:01.18
and universities.
00:13:01.21\00:13:03.14
They are also willing and ready.
00:13:03.18\00:13:06.01
So our youth
ministries are also engaged.
00:13:06.05\00:13:11.62
What will they be doing?
00:13:11.65\00:13:13.05
Sharing it with
their fellow youth,
00:13:13.09\00:13:15.99
with the Facebook,
with Twitter, with...
00:13:16.02\00:13:20.13
Compassion movement.
00:13:20.16\00:13:22.96
The electronic...
00:13:23.00\00:13:24.83
Social media. Technology.
00:13:24.87\00:13:27.80
You know, these are
areas that they are using,
00:13:27.84\00:13:31.11
and they can use.
00:13:31.14\00:13:32.47
That's right.
00:13:32.51\00:13:33.84
Shawn, there's a
minister, the youth ministries,
00:13:33.88\00:13:35.91
planning a compassion
movement they call it.
00:13:35.94\00:13:38.55
Fantastic. Compassion movement.
00:13:38.58\00:13:39.91
I like the name of it.
00:13:39.95\00:13:41.28
Of getting into the streets
and just working the streets,
00:13:41.32\00:13:44.75
these young people.
00:13:44.79\00:13:46.12
And not only that, we're
going to have young people
00:13:46.15\00:13:47.59
coming from all
around the world,
00:13:47.62\00:13:49.02
the 13 divisions of the world
00:13:49.06\00:13:51.33
are going to send a
youth representative
00:13:51.36\00:13:54.26
to New York City,
00:13:54.30\00:13:55.63
to join with the
youth in New York City,
00:13:55.66\00:13:57.80
to do this
compassion ministry...
00:13:57.83\00:13:59.17
Oh, imagine that.
00:13:59.20\00:14:00.54
And, you know,
there're also women,
00:14:00.57\00:14:01.97
women groups are now
gathering for this great event
00:14:02.00\00:14:05.94
where everybody
is working together.
00:14:05.97\00:14:07.34
Everybody.
00:14:07.38\00:14:08.71
Again, it's
something that everybody,
00:14:08.74\00:14:10.08
there is a spot for
everybody in God's family
00:14:10.11\00:14:12.08
to be a part of God's
army this time around.
00:14:12.11\00:14:14.45
Amen. Let me ask you a question.
00:14:14.48\00:14:17.62
When John was on
the Isle of Patmos,
00:14:17.65\00:14:19.45
God showed him the
whole world lighting up
00:14:19.49\00:14:21.66
with the glory of Jesus Christ.
00:14:21.69\00:14:23.53
He saw people, sharing
the everlasting gospel,
00:14:23.56\00:14:26.46
men and women
making a difference
00:14:26.49\00:14:28.73
as they take their
place on God's side
00:14:28.76\00:14:31.27
in the great controversy.
00:14:31.30\00:14:33.10
So here's the
question that I have for you.
00:14:33.13\00:14:35.90
When John saw those
people, did he see your face?
00:14:35.94\00:14:40.64
Did he actually
see you envision,
00:14:40.68\00:14:42.98
taking your place
in the final moments
00:14:43.01\00:14:45.11
before Jesus comes?
00:14:45.15\00:14:46.48
Did he see you sharing
the gospel with your neighbor,
00:14:46.51\00:14:49.38
your friend, your family member
or just out on the street?
00:14:49.42\00:14:53.39
You know, he saw somebody,
00:14:53.42\00:14:55.09
John saw
somebody in that vision.
00:14:55.12\00:14:57.53
And at this moment,
00:14:57.56\00:14:58.89
I can't think of
a single good reason
00:14:58.93\00:15:00.86
it couldn't have been you
he saw on the Isle of Patmos.
00:15:00.90\00:15:04.60
Thanks for joining us.
00:15:04.63\00:15:05.97
Pray about your
place in this great work.
00:15:06.00\00:15:09.00
