And that is good information.
00:00:01.36\00:00:02.70
I want in the time
that remains for each of you
00:00:02.73\00:00:04.07
to take just a few moments
00:00:04.10\00:00:05.43
and sort of encourage
the people that are watching.
00:00:05.47\00:00:08.04
You can come from your
own Maranatha experience,
00:00:08.07\00:00:10.61
something that has
impressed you on the trip,
00:00:10.64\00:00:12.84
but just look into your camera.
00:00:12.87\00:00:14.78
I'll start with David
00:00:14.81\00:00:16.14
and just give us your experience
00:00:16.18\00:00:18.25
and sort of
encourage the folk at home.
00:00:18.28\00:00:20.02
Yeah, I think it's exciting
00:00:20.05\00:00:21.48
when you do have experience
a connection with Jesus
00:00:21.52\00:00:23.92
that you become
that light, and truly,
00:00:23.95\00:00:27.19
you are there to be able
to really plug into Jesus
00:00:27.22\00:00:32.19
and to be able to shine out
00:00:32.23\00:00:33.56
and it's something
where just like the song goes,
00:00:33.60\00:00:35.13
you know, you
don't want to hide it
00:00:35.16\00:00:36.50
under a bushel,
00:00:36.53\00:00:37.87
you want to be
able to shine that.
00:00:37.90\00:00:39.23
And, you know, I
love the Adventist Church
00:00:39.27\00:00:41.97
and I believe that we
were founded with doctrine
00:00:42.00\00:00:45.67
and that there is that
glow that's there from within,
00:00:45.71\00:00:49.81
but I think that just one thing
00:00:49.84\00:00:51.18
that I think we
need to be careful about
00:00:51.21\00:00:52.71
is like what's the number
one rule for a flashlight.
00:00:52.75\00:00:56.15
You know, if you
have a flashlight,
00:00:56.18\00:00:57.52
the number one rule is
you don't want to shine it
00:00:57.55\00:00:59.65
in someone's eyes, in
someone's face, right?
00:00:59.69\00:01:01.66
So that's, I think the same way
00:01:01.69\00:01:03.63
where God is going to call
us to shine that flashlight
00:01:03.66\00:01:07.73
to be your light
that shines the path
00:01:07.76\00:01:09.63
that others can walk on,
00:01:09.66\00:01:11.00
so I think
going on mission trips
00:01:11.03\00:01:12.60
and going and just
stretching yourself
00:01:12.63\00:01:15.80
and shining that
light in your community
00:01:15.84\00:01:17.64
whatever it may
be, don't hide it,
00:01:17.67\00:01:19.57
just let it shine.
00:01:19.61\00:01:20.94
Praise the Lord.
Praise the Lord. Mary.
00:01:20.98\00:01:22.94
I would say that
00:01:22.98\00:01:24.51
if you want to grow spiritually,
00:01:24.55\00:01:27.22
if you want to
see your life changed,
00:01:27.25\00:01:29.22
if you want to get a
global perspective of Adventism
00:01:29.25\00:01:33.05
around the world,
00:01:33.09\00:01:34.62
and if you want to
challenge yourself,
00:01:34.66\00:01:36.56
then you should definitely
go on a Maranatha mission trip.
00:01:36.59\00:01:38.93
Okay. Teresa, and you
only got a few seconds.
00:01:38.96\00:01:42.83
I would say if
you want your children
00:01:42.86\00:01:45.37
to experience the world
00:01:45.40\00:01:47.04
and see that God works and moves
00:01:47.07\00:01:49.04
through the whole world
and not just in America,
00:01:49.07\00:01:53.78
then take your kids
00:01:53.81\00:01:55.14
on a Maranatha
family mission trip.
00:01:55.18\00:01:57.38
Praise the Lord.
00:01:57.41\00:01:58.75
Our time has fast
slipped into eternity.
00:01:58.78\00:02:00.12
Allow me in closing to
wish you both grace and peace
00:02:00.15\00:02:02.22
through our Lord
and Savior Jesus Christ.
00:02:02.25\00:02:03.59
We'll see again soon.
Bye-bye, and God bless.
00:02:03.62\00:02:06.45
