You know what?
00:00:01.36\00:00:02.70
We thank for that God
is putting on the hearts
00:00:02.73\00:00:04.07
of so many people
to begin ministries
00:00:04.10\00:00:05.83
to reach out, we're all called.
00:00:05.87\00:00:08.17
This is just part of the...
00:00:08.20\00:00:10.37
Our obedience to the
call of the Great Commission.
00:00:10.41\00:00:13.98
And the fulfillment
of the Great Commission
00:00:14.01\00:00:15.54
is to reach out, and
to teach all nations,
00:00:15.58\00:00:19.08
and baptizing them in
the name of the Father,
00:00:19.11\00:00:20.95
and the Son,
and the Holy Spirit.
00:00:20.98\00:00:22.92
Rennie, we've been
talking today with Jim Rennie,
00:00:22.95\00:00:26.89
and he is the CEO of
Child Impact International,
00:00:26.92\00:00:32.63
formerly known as Asian Aid.
00:00:32.66\00:00:34.70
So now it's Child
Impact International.
00:00:34.73\00:00:37.60
Just bottom line, what
are your greatest needs?
00:00:37.63\00:00:40.87
Bottom line, our greatest needs
is certainly child sponsorship,
00:00:40.90\00:00:44.91
or support of the
sponsorship program.
00:00:44.94\00:00:47.91
You may want to donate
to the unsponsored children.
00:00:47.94\00:00:51.45
Right now we have 500
unsponsored children, but I...
00:00:51.48\00:00:58.25
It hurts me to have to say no
00:00:58.29\00:01:01.32
to countries like
Bangladesh and Myanmar
00:01:01.36\00:01:04.49
where the church is
desperate for more children
00:01:04.53\00:01:08.76
in their schools, but honestly,
00:01:08.80\00:01:12.07
there is limited mission
activity in these countries.
00:01:12.10\00:01:16.34
And so the schools are
one of the key outreach.
00:01:16.37\00:01:19.91
So sponsorship of the child,
00:01:19.94\00:01:22.08
or supporting the
sponsorship program
00:01:22.11\00:01:24.78
is critical.
00:01:24.81\00:01:26.15
The other area
is the orphanages.
00:01:26.18\00:01:28.72
Right now because
of funding changes,
00:01:28.75\00:01:32.75
we are really
struggling to meet the budgets
00:01:32.79\00:01:35.62
of these homes.
00:01:35.66\00:01:37.16
And if you simply send us
a donation for orphanages,
00:01:37.19\00:01:41.86
it will be money
that I can assure you
00:01:41.90\00:01:44.97
is really impacting directly
on the lives of the children
00:01:45.00\00:01:49.87
for the basics of
running the orphanage.
00:01:49.90\00:01:53.27
And they're probably
the two biggest needs,
00:01:53.31\00:01:57.48
but we need your prayers.
00:01:57.51\00:01:58.88
These children...
00:01:58.91\00:02:00.32
We need the power of the Lord
to make changes in their lives,
00:02:00.35\00:02:04.79
and to help us operate
00:02:04.82\00:02:06.89
in some pretty
difficult environments.
00:02:06.92\00:02:10.16
But we're very
grateful to our donors, to 3ABN,
00:02:10.19\00:02:14.50
and the 3ABN viewers for the...
00:02:14.53\00:02:17.90
It's just fantastic to think
00:02:17.93\00:02:20.00
that tomorrow morning
there's more than 3,500 children
00:02:20.04\00:02:25.44
who are at school,
who are in an orphanage,
00:02:25.47\00:02:28.44
who are in a special school
00:02:28.48\00:02:30.28
because of the
generosity of people
00:02:30.31\00:02:33.08
that are prepared to give
a small amount every month.
00:02:33.11\00:02:36.18
And we're just so
excited and grateful
00:02:36.22\00:02:39.69
for the blessing of the Lord,
00:02:39.72\00:02:41.39
and the support of
donors and 3ABN viewers.
00:02:41.42\00:02:45.29
And we just want to thank you,
00:02:45.33\00:02:46.66
you know, every time I
hear a story like this,
00:02:46.70\00:02:50.17
I think, ah, I
wished I could do more.
00:02:50.20\00:02:52.50
And what I can do
is give and donate.
00:02:52.53\00:02:55.57
We can't be all
things to all people,
00:02:55.60\00:02:57.64
but we can certainly support.
00:02:57.67\00:02:59.41
And this man puts his
money where his mouth is,
00:02:59.44\00:03:01.94
or his heart is, I should say
00:03:01.98\00:03:03.88
because I know he
supports children as well.
00:03:03.91\00:03:07.32
Rennie, Jim, I don't know why,
00:03:07.35\00:03:09.05
I have another
friend called Rennie
00:03:09.08\00:03:11.12
and I keep
wanting to call you that
00:03:11.15\00:03:12.52
and I know you well.
00:03:12.55\00:03:13.89
I just thank you so much
00:03:13.92\00:03:15.26
for the work
you're doing for the Lord,
00:03:15.29\00:03:16.76
and for what Child
Impact International is doing.
00:03:16.79\00:03:20.83
Our prayer for you at home
00:03:20.86\00:03:22.20
is that the grace of our
Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,
00:03:22.23\00:03:24.60
the love of the Father,
00:03:24.63\00:03:25.97
and the
fellowship of the Holy Spirit
00:03:26.00\00:03:28.27
will be with you, not
just today but every day.
00:03:28.30\00:03:31.67
God bless.
00:03:31.71\00:03:33.04
