Well, Ken and Katie, this
has been quite an experience
00:00:01.36\00:00:04.60
just going through the
highlights of your story.
00:00:04.63\00:00:09.87
Where is the Lord leading
you now right in the present
00:00:09.90\00:00:13.24
as far as your
ministry, you know, your life?
00:00:13.27\00:00:18.18
Good question.
00:00:18.21\00:00:19.55
I was asked just
recently by a friend from Ohio
00:00:19.58\00:00:23.39
if we would consider to
come down to Central Ohio
00:00:23.42\00:00:27.02
and pastor a church there.
00:00:27.06\00:00:28.39
I guess a retired was working
with some other Adventist
00:00:28.42\00:00:32.23
in reaching the
Amish community there
00:00:32.79\00:00:35.06
because my heart
goes out to India
00:00:35.10\00:00:37.67
and some of the
places we've been to
00:00:37.70\00:00:39.03
but my first burden, my
first passion is my people.
00:00:39.07\00:00:43.30
There is all these Amish people,
00:00:43.34\00:00:44.77
there is Mennonites,
there is the charity people,
00:00:44.81\00:00:47.24
there is a half a million people
00:00:47.28\00:00:49.28
that I love to reach in America.
00:00:49.31\00:00:52.51
So there is a great
awakening and moving going on
00:00:52.55\00:00:55.22
among the Amish community
00:00:55.25\00:00:57.29
and in Ohio a number
of individual Amish people
00:00:57.32\00:01:00.46
and a few Amish are
studying the Sabbath
00:01:00.49\00:01:03.36
and so we were
there last Sabbath
00:01:03.39\00:01:05.43
and I preached there and
had an afternoon session too.
00:01:05.46\00:01:08.13
They are asking us to
pray about whether the Lord
00:01:08.16\00:01:10.07
would have us
transition coming down there
00:01:10.10\00:01:12.57
and actually actively reach
out to the Amish community.
00:01:12.60\00:01:14.77
So that's one avenue
00:01:14.80\00:01:16.27
that's a very real
possibility for us.
00:01:16.30\00:01:18.64
And then there is
other opportunities
00:01:18.67\00:01:20.21
there in mission work
including overseas work
00:01:20.24\00:01:22.28
like I mentioned
earlier my good friend
00:01:22.31\00:01:24.05
Dough Ben from Southeast Asia,
00:01:24.08\00:01:26.45
he is really
asking us to us to be able
00:01:26.48\00:01:29.48
to minister with him over there.
00:01:29.52\00:01:31.19
That's in a nutshell kind
of where we are going right now
00:01:31.22\00:01:34.36
is we love the local church,
Vwe love the local ministries,
00:01:34.39\00:01:36.69
we've been very
involved even personally
00:01:36.73\00:01:38.76
helping with that but I
would like to reach my people
00:01:38.79\00:01:43.10
in the US if I'm
allowed to and at this point
00:01:43.13\00:01:45.57
there seems to
be opening for that.
00:01:45.60\00:01:46.94
Yeah, God has given
you a very unique ministry,
00:01:46.97\00:01:49.14
we will join you
certainly in that prayer
00:01:49.17\00:01:51.04
that He would direct your steps
00:01:51.07\00:01:52.57
because He's got something
very special for you to do.
00:01:52.61\00:01:55.21
Well, our time has fast
slipped now into eternity.
00:01:55.24\00:01:57.35
Allow me in closing now to
wish you both grace and peace
00:01:57.38\00:02:00.82
through our Lord
Cand Savior Jesus Christ.
00:02:00.85\00:02:02.18
We'll see you again
soon. Bye-bye and God bless.
00:02:02.22\00:02:04.75
