00:01 And that is good information,
00:03 Shelly, in the last minute and change
00:05 that we have, talk about a couple of things,
00:08 one, prayer and the prayer lists
00:09 you were talking about.
00:11 And then you were telling me
00:12 this great story about Sacramento Academy,
00:14 walk me through that.
00:16 And in fact, talk to the camera
00:17 so that other people kind of get your burden.
00:18 Sure, thank you.
00:20 So Sacramento Adventists Academy,
00:21 they chose to help children in our assistance program.
00:24 So each child in each class of kindergarten sponsors
00:27 a kindergarten child.
00:28 First grade sponsors a first grade child.
00:30 And they move along each grade with the child in Uganda,
00:34 and they communicate with them through letters.
00:36 And so one year, as academy,
00:38 the 12th graders were graduating
00:40 after academy they go on
00:41 to wherever university they're going to,
00:43 what they did is they did a fundraiser,
00:45 and they raised the money to put that child
00:47 that they sponsored through university.
00:50 And so it's just an amazing thing
00:52 to have this tree on the wall
00:53 with all the different pictures of the kids
00:55 they're sponsoring.
00:56 Yeah, and the other thing
00:57 is prayer you were talking about.
00:59 Yes, so if you can't go to Uganda,
01:01 if you don't have the money to sponsor a child,
01:03 if you don't have the energy to volunteer here,
01:06 the most powerful thing is prayer,
01:08 so we have prayer partners
01:10 that we send out prayer request lists too,
01:11 and then you just help pray for our needs
01:14 so that God will provide.
01:15 I think the academy thing is just really cool.
01:18 That's a neat thing.
01:19 A first grade class sponsors a first grader,
01:21 second grade class sponsors a second grader,
01:24 so that you move
01:25 with that child through each year,
01:26 and then you graduate together.
01:28 That's really, really neat. I really, really like that.
01:31 And, of course, the ministry can use your prayers,
01:33 we could always...
01:35 You can't pray too much, you can't pray too hard,
01:36 you can't pray too long.
01:38 And any ministry for the Lord
01:41 could certainly be bathed in prayer.
01:43 Well, our time has fast slipped into eternity.
01:46 Allow me now in closing
01:47 to wish you both grace and peace
01:49 through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
01:51 We'll see you again soon. Bye-bye, and God bless.
