Excellent information
00:00:01.36\00:00:02.70
and hopefully
before the news break
00:00:02.73\00:00:04.07
you had time to write
down the contact information
00:00:04.10\00:00:06.70
for GLOW
ministries and Nelson Ernst,
00:00:06.74\00:00:10.24

if you are
unable to write it down.
00:00:26.86\00:00:29.32
Nelson, again, this
time has gone by so fast here
00:00:29.36\00:00:32.36
but do you have something,
a story or something enclosing
00:00:32.39\00:00:34.93
that would be inspirational
00:00:34.96\00:00:36.87
just like the
others you shared with us?
00:00:36.90\00:00:38.27
Yeah, I mean, you know,
00:00:38.30\00:00:40.04
we're actually putting together
a whole book with these stories
00:00:40.07\00:00:44.07
because we just get so many...
00:00:44.11\00:00:45.64
Incredible. Yeah.
00:00:45.67\00:00:47.38
So yeah, we have many stories.
00:00:47.41\00:00:48.74
I'm trying to think
of the best one here,
00:00:48.78\00:00:50.51
you know, I'll
share a personal one.
00:00:50.55\00:00:52.65
Good.
00:00:52.68\00:00:54.18
Recently, I was on a flight,
00:00:54.22\00:00:56.55
I think it was from
Norway down to Holland
00:00:56.58\00:00:58.29
on my way back to the US
and when I was on the plane,
00:00:58.32\00:01:02.22
I sat down next to
very educated woman,
00:01:02.26\00:01:06.46
she was, I think,
00:01:06.49\00:01:07.83
a psychology teacher at a
university there in Europe
00:01:07.86\00:01:12.13
and her husband
was a medical doctor
00:01:12.17\00:01:15.04
sitting across the aisle,
00:01:15.07\00:01:17.17
and he was
going to some meetings
00:01:17.21\00:01:18.91
to actually get
some presentations,
00:01:18.94\00:01:20.98
some medical meetings.
00:01:21.01\00:01:22.98
Anyway, I wanted to
reach out to this woman
00:01:23.01\00:01:25.71
and so I opened up
my bible to read it,
00:01:25.75\00:01:29.02
so I cast the lure, you know...
00:01:29.05\00:01:30.39
Yes, you did.
00:01:30.42\00:01:31.75
You know that really helps
you open up the bible sometimes
00:01:31.79\00:01:33.12
and just see what happens.
00:01:33.15\00:01:34.49
Oh yeah.
00:01:34.52\00:01:35.86
And so after a few minutes
getting done reading the bible,
00:01:35.89\00:01:37.23
I closed it, I
happen to be in proverbs,
00:01:37.26\00:01:38.59
closed it and sure
enough couple of minutes later
00:01:38.63\00:01:40.30
this woman turned
to me and she said,
00:01:40.33\00:01:41.90
she started asking
questions, and she said,
00:01:41.93\00:01:43.93
so what were you reading?
00:01:43.97\00:01:45.30
And we started a
spiritual conversation
00:01:45.33\00:01:47.44
which is really interesting.
00:01:47.47\00:01:48.80
One thing I like
to point out is that
00:01:48.84\00:01:50.71
when you pass out tracts,
00:01:50.74\00:01:52.41
75% of the stories
that we get is not because
00:01:52.44\00:01:54.54
the tract is so amazing,
00:01:54.58\00:01:55.98
it's just because it
begins a good conversation.
00:01:56.01\00:01:57.45
Yes.
00:01:57.48\00:01:58.81
It's a
conversation starter. Yeah.
00:01:58.85\00:02:00.18
So, anyway we had a
good spiritual conversation,
00:02:00.22\00:02:02.28
I ended up giving her
some tracts on eternal torment
00:02:02.32\00:02:05.15
and how hell
doesn't last forever
00:02:05.19\00:02:06.55
and she was very
interested in that.
00:02:06.59\00:02:08.29
At the end of our conversation
00:02:08.32\00:02:09.66
she said to me
something I'll never forget,
00:02:09.69\00:02:11.16
she said, you know,
00:02:11.19\00:02:12.53
at least you have
something to believe in,
00:02:12.56\00:02:14.83
most of us out here
still looking for that.
00:02:14.86\00:02:16.70
Wow!
00:02:16.73\00:02:18.07
Boy, that's powerful isn't it?
00:02:18.10\00:02:19.43
Yeah, what an
opportunity that we have to...
00:02:19.47\00:02:22.44
Again, spread the
gospel of Jesus Christ
00:02:22.47\00:02:23.94
around the world,
00:02:23.97\00:02:25.31
you know, we want to
be instant and seasoned
00:02:25.34\00:02:26.98
when God provides
us opportunity as well,
00:02:27.01\00:02:28.54
we want to be ready don't we?
00:02:28.58\00:02:29.91
Amen.
00:02:29.94\00:02:31.28
And that's with
having like the go tracts
00:02:31.31\00:02:32.65
or any piece of
literature in our pockets
00:02:32.68\00:02:34.02
already to give out.
00:02:34.05\00:02:35.38
I liked what you said for
us having your bible with you,
00:02:35.42\00:02:37.52
you opened it up
and the person said,
00:02:37.55\00:02:39.52
what were you reading?
00:02:39.55\00:02:40.89
And that opened
up the conversation
00:02:40.92\00:02:42.76
and then it just goes
and leads on from there.
00:02:42.79\00:02:45.19
Thank you, again,
00:02:45.23\00:02:46.56
so much for being with us today.
00:02:46.59\00:02:47.93
Yeah, thank you.
00:02:47.96\00:02:49.30
We appreciate the
work that you are doing,
00:02:49.33\00:02:50.67
God continue to bless you,
00:02:50.70\00:02:52.03
thank you for aspiring me
00:02:52.07\00:02:53.40
to be more involved
with spreading Gods word,
00:02:53.44\00:02:55.70
through
literature around the world,
00:02:55.74\00:02:57.51
hope that you
were inspired today,
00:02:57.54\00:02:58.97
thank you for
joining us, God bless you
00:02:59.01\00:03:01.08
and have a
wonderful day with Jesus.
