00:01 You know what?
00:02 We thank for that God is putting on the hearts 00:04 of so many people to begin ministries 00:05 to reach out, we're all called. 00:08 This is just part of the... 00:10 Our obedience to the call of the Great Commission. 00:14 And the fulfillment of the Great Commission 00:15 is to reach out, and to teach all nations, 00:19 and baptizing them in the name of the Father, 00:20 and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. 00:22 Rennie, we've been talking today with Jim Rennie, 00:26 and he is the CEO of Child Impact International, 00:32 formerly known as Asian Aid. 00:34 So now it's Child Impact International. 00:37 Just bottom line, what are your greatest needs? 00:40 Bottom line, our greatest needs is certainly child sponsorship, 00:44 or support of the sponsorship program. 00:47 You may want to donate to the unsponsored children. 00:51 Right now we have 500 unsponsored children, but I... 00:58 It hurts me to have to say no 01:01 to countries like Bangladesh and Myanmar 01:04 where the church is desperate for more children 01:08 in their schools, but honestly, 01:12 there is limited mission activity in these countries. 01:16 And so the schools are one of the key outreach. 01:19 So sponsorship of the child, 01:22 or supporting the sponsorship program 01:24 is critical. 01:26 The other area is the orphanages. 01:28 Right now because of funding changes, 01:32 we are really struggling to meet the budgets 01:35 of these homes. 01:37 And if you simply send us a donation for orphanages, 01:41 it will be money that I can assure you 01:45 is really impacting directly on the lives of the children 01:49 for the basics of running the orphanage. 01:53 And they're probably the two biggest needs, 01:57 but we need your prayers. 01:58 These children... 02:00 We need the power of the Lord to make changes in their lives, 02:04 and to help us operate 02:06 in some pretty difficult environments. 02:10 But we're very grateful to our donors, to 3ABN, 02:14 and the 3ABN viewers for the... 02:17 It's just fantastic to think 02:20 that tomorrow morning there's more than 3,500 children 02:25 who are at school, who are in an orphanage, 02:28 who are in a special school 02:30 because of the generosity of people 02:33 that are prepared to give a small amount every month. 02:36 And we're just so excited and grateful 02:39 for the blessing of the Lord, 02:41 and the support of donors and 3ABN viewers. 02:45 And we just want to thank you, 02:46 you know, every time I hear a story like this, 02:50 I think, ah, I wished I could do more. 02:52 And what I can do is give and donate. 02:55 We can't be all things to all people, 02:57 but we can certainly support. 02:59 And this man puts his money where his mouth is, 03:01 or his heart is, I should say 03:03 because I know he supports children as well. 03:07 Rennie, Jim, I don't know why, 03:09 I have another friend called Rennie 03:11 and I keep wanting to call you that 03:12 and I know you well. 03:13 I just thank you so much 03:15 for the work you're doing for the Lord, 03:16 and for what Child Impact International is doing. 03:20 Our prayer for you at home 03:22 is that the grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, 03:24 the love of the Father, 03:26 and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit 03:28 will be with you, not just today but every day. 03:31 God bless. |
