00:01 Well, this has been an eye opener for me
00:02 because I didn't realize
00:04 there were so many Adventists in Rwanda
00:05 but especially I didn't realize
00:07 that they were living in refugee camps.
00:10 What did you have planned for the future
00:13 in addition to sponsoring the children
00:16 for their high school education and giving them hope,
00:19 what else do you have planned?
00:20 Well, Shelley,
00:22 we have some exciting things planned for Impact Hope.
00:24 We're very excited to train these kids
00:28 in technical schools and give 'em life skills.
00:31 We also see the very committed fervor
00:35 that these kids have for the work of God,
00:38 and so we're planning on using these kids to do evangelism.
00:42 Great thought.
00:43 We're planning on starting a program this November.
00:47 We're gonna be over there working with these kids
00:49 on their summer break doing lay evangelism
00:52 because we feel like these 350 some kids
00:57 are Gideon's army for us,
01:00 and they help us finish the work,
01:02 do evangelism to their people
01:04 'cause they definitely know how to share their faith.
01:09 That's what we're looking for is total member involvement,
01:12 getting everybody doing something,
01:14 that is exciting.
01:16 Thank you so much, Hans, for what you're doing.
01:20 Do you need people to help train you with this evangelism?
01:24 We're very excited to have people partner us, with us.
01:27 The great thing about this ministry, Shelley,
01:29 is they can, for $50 a month they can sponsor a kid,
01:34 they can have contact with that kid,
01:36 they can also go to Africa with us,
01:39 and be involved in evangelism,
01:41 be involved in teaching these kids life skills
01:44 such as sewing, brick kiln, carpentry, computers,
01:50 gardening, so it's a...
01:52 We're looking for people to finish the work.
01:54 So they can just go to your...
01:55 There will be more information on your website,
01:57 that's Impact-Hope.org.
02:05 Quick thought, five seconds?
02:07 These kids are part of our global church family,
02:10 and $50 a month can change their life forever.
02:13 Thank you, Lucie.
02:15 And I just want to say, you've got to get involved
02:19 because it will change your life.
02:21 Well, praise God that three of you got involved
02:24 and we just appreciate as Paul said,
02:27 "The ministry that you do to the saints."
02:29 For those of you at home,
02:30 our prayer is that the grace of our Lord
02:32 and Savior Jesus Christ, the love of the Father
02:34 and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit
02:36 will be with you always.
02:37 Goodbye.
