And that is good information.
00:00:01.36\00:00:02.70
In our last couple of minutes,
00:00:02.73\00:00:04.07
I want to touch on
the couple of things.
00:00:04.10\00:00:06.03
One of the things
you mentioned to me,
00:00:06.07\00:00:07.60
Barbara, is that
even those attendees
00:00:07.64\00:00:10.11
who some times are suffering
00:00:10.14\00:00:11.61
from any kind of mental problems
00:00:11.64\00:00:15.31
or sort of out of it,
when the singing starts
00:00:15.34\00:00:17.71
and the service starts something
00:00:17.75\00:00:19.65
sort of a miraculous
happens and they sort of contact
00:00:19.68\00:00:21.62
and kind of join
you, is that not so?
00:00:21.65\00:00:22.98
Yes, they readily wake up
and many of them have memorized
00:00:23.02\00:00:27.72
a lot of the old hymns
like "Old Rugged Cross"
00:00:27.76\00:00:29.99
and "Amazing
Grace" and they sing.
00:00:30.03\00:00:32.79
Oh, it's just
awesome to hear them sing.
00:00:32.83\00:00:34.70
Praise the Lord.
00:00:34.73\00:00:36.06
And often times when we
left after the half hour
00:00:36.10\00:00:38.87
the staff will say
that they continued humming
00:00:38.90\00:00:42.07
or singing some of
those hymns afterwards.
00:00:42.10\00:00:45.34
And so it's just
really neat to see
00:00:45.37\00:00:48.74
what God's word
can do even for those
00:00:48.78\00:00:52.18
who are experiencing
dementia or Alzheimer's.
00:00:52.21\00:00:55.18
Bob and Eva, as
this thing has grown,
00:00:55.22\00:00:57.19
how important is it a
part of your own spiritual life
00:00:57.22\00:00:59.79
and walk now at this point?
00:00:59.82\00:01:02.36
As Bob said before sometimes we,
00:01:02.39\00:01:04.79
you know, Sunday comes around
00:01:04.83\00:01:06.16
and we think oh, I'm
tired, I'm gonna stay at home
00:01:06.19\00:01:08.66
and so we go there
00:01:08.70\00:01:11.43
and it's not us
giving them the lift.
00:01:11.47\00:01:13.87
When we come home, we
are so energized by the hugs
00:01:13.90\00:01:16.84
and the "I love you's"
00:01:16.87\00:01:19.07
and they are so
glad to see you."
00:01:19.11\00:01:21.38
And it's just very
enlightening for us
00:01:21.41\00:01:25.11
not only to feel we
are doing them good,
00:01:25.15\00:01:27.22
they are doing us good.
00:01:27.25\00:01:28.68
We can see God working
in the lives of the people
00:01:28.72\00:01:32.02
through Don and
Barbara by starting this.
00:01:32.05\00:01:34.22
It's a wonderful ministry.
00:01:34.26\00:01:36.36
Absolutely. Yeah.
00:01:36.39\00:01:37.73
Barbara, any projects,
anything you are working on that
00:01:37.76\00:01:39.89
you could use
some help with that
00:01:39.93\00:01:41.26
at this point in your ministry?
00:01:41.30\00:01:42.63
Probably our
biggest need is stamps
00:01:42.66\00:01:44.97
in order to do the mailers.
00:01:45.00\00:01:46.97
This week we sent out 185
00:01:47.00\00:01:49.57
so we are doing $300
just for stamps a month.
00:01:49.60\00:01:52.57
Yes, it's growing. It's growing.
00:01:52.61\00:01:53.94
And we have no budget.
00:01:53.98\00:01:55.31
That we have no money
00:01:55.34\00:01:56.68
but the Lord has
been providing it.
00:01:56.71\00:01:59.51
We are very thankful for those
who slip money in our hands,
00:01:59.55\00:02:03.99
sometimes they turn into church
00:02:04.02\00:02:05.75
and we don't even know who gave.
00:02:05.79\00:02:07.16
Yes, yes, Well, as you can see
00:02:07.19\00:02:10.16
we put up the contact
information for the church.
00:02:10.19\00:02:12.76
There is a need.
00:02:12.79\00:02:14.13
There is no budget
but there is a budget
00:02:14.16\00:02:16.73
because money is being spent
and the ministry is growing
00:02:16.77\00:02:19.63
and God is seeing to
it that it does grow.
00:02:19.67\00:02:24.11
Don and Barbara, Bob
and Eva a great work,
00:02:24.14\00:02:28.34
a great ministry to a
group of people that we--
00:02:28.38\00:02:31.01
you said it's underserved
but certainly can use your love
00:02:31.05\00:02:34.08
your prayers and
your financial support
00:02:34.12\00:02:36.58
and this can be
replicated in your town.
00:02:36.62\00:02:39.25
Obviously it's not so hard,
00:02:39.29\00:02:41.26
it's gonna take a
commitment of time
00:02:41.29\00:02:43.06
and if you've got the time,
Jesus will use you in a great
00:02:43.09\00:02:45.99
and marvelous way to meet
this underserved community.
00:02:46.03\00:02:48.73
Well, our time has
fast slipped into eternity.
00:02:48.76\00:02:50.67
Allow me now in closing to
wish you both grace and peace
00:02:50.70\00:02:54.04
through our Lord
and Savior Jesus Christ.
00:02:54.07\00:02:55.70
We will see you again
soon. Bye-bye and God bless.
00:02:55.74\00:02:58.64
