00:01 Friends, as you know our time comes and goes,
00:03 sometimes too quickly as is the case 00:05 for this program today. 00:07 But I want to give Shoshon and Nalini and Jean Paul-- 00:11 but I want to ask Shoshon our audience, 00:13 I want to have you communicate to them. 00:15 What's the greatest impact they could make right now 00:18 to change lives in these camps? 00:21 Well, we need your prayers first and foremost. 00:23 You know, we run off of prayers, 00:24 so please pray for us 00:25 and pray especially for the students 00:27 in the refugee camps. 00:28 But we have a huge financial need as well. 00:31 We get so many applications for an opportunity 00:34 to leave the camps and get an education. 00:36 Right now there are five refugee camps 00:38 and we are only working in one. 00:41 A thousand applicants that 00:42 just try to get out of the camps, 00:44 we only had financial resources to support four students. 00:49 So there is a huge financial need for us 00:51 to be able to reach the additional camps 00:53 that we are not working in. 00:54 There are many other students equally deserving as Jean Paul 00:58 who have applied to our program 01:00 and returned back to the camps struggling with the fact 01:05 that there were no resources for them, 01:06 that there was no opportunity for them. 01:09 And I think that right now 01:10 we have a real chance to invest in them. 01:15 You know, these are the kinds of 01:16 young leaders that Africa needs. 01:18 People of faith, people of integrity, 01:20 people who against all odds have chosen peace 01:23 and have dedicated themselves to furthering their own future 01:27 and the future of the other boys and girls 01:30 and the children in the camp. 01:31 So I ask that we could invest in them 01:34 and that our audience could invest 01:35 in our work there in Africa. 01:37 Wow. 01:38 And now, Nalini, 01:39 also what needs can we begin to participate in 01:43 to make a difference here? 01:45 The greatest need, 01:46 I should be very honest with you 01:48 is financial needs right now. 01:50 We have a huge financial need. 01:52 We started with just faith 01:54 and that's more than enough for us. 01:56 We know the Lord is going to bless and open up doors. 01:59 And so we need your help, 02:00 we need everyone to support us 02:01 in whatever financial way they can. 02:04 In prayers, you know, 02:05 just being part of the Adventist Impact. 02:07 We don't-- 02:08 we are just almost three months old Adventist Impact 02:11 saw the need and decided yes, we need to start, 02:15 we need to help our people. 02:16 These are-- 02:17 this is our family, 02:18 these are our children and these are our people. 02:21 We need to get them out of there. 02:23 You know, I want to appeal to our audience the story 02:25 that you heard today Jean Paul story 02:27 is yet to be told 02:28 in the lives of thousands of young people, 02:30 generations that are still waiting to just 02:33 receive basic education. 02:35 We want you to pray and also the information 02:37 that you received to send your financial support. 02:40 What an impact it would be not just globally 02:43 but also generationally. 02:45 So may God bless you as you give. 02:47 We know the Lord will bless you as He gives back to you. 02:49 God bless you until we see you again. |
