I just so admire people
who will make the personal
00:00:01.36\00:00:03.77
sacrifice to go and
fulfill that Great Commission of
00:00:03.83\00:00:08.44
reaching out to all nations.
I know, Melody, you must
00:00:08.50\00:00:13.17
be very excited that
Keith and your sister Tammy
00:00:13.21\00:00:15.88
are coming over,
'cause you've got your two
00:00:15.94\00:00:18.81
children; they've got
four, right? That's wonderful.
00:00:18.85\00:00:22.58
One thing I failed to
ask Jonathan is, you've
00:00:22.62\00:00:26.09
got this work going.
the publishing work is still
00:00:26.15\00:00:30.06
kind of...would you call
it infancy? Do you need other
00:00:30.13\00:00:34.56
volunteers? I mean,
I know you're training
00:00:34.60\00:00:37.50
people there, but do you
need people to help translate?
00:00:37.60\00:00:40.87
What do you need for
that publishing ministry?
00:00:40.90\00:00:43.81
- Yes, we definitely
need more help. We believe
00:00:43.87\00:00:47.61
that God will supply
the need. A lot of people
00:00:47.68\00:00:50.95
don't want to come
because it's so difficult there.
00:00:51.01\00:00:53.15
But I can say we've
been there 9 years. God has
00:00:53.21\00:00:55.58
given us everything
we need to be there: the
00:00:55.65\00:00:58.15
courage, the strength,
the health... So, yes; we're
00:00:58.22\00:01:01.29
looking for people
that will- especially people
00:01:01.36\00:01:03.46
that know French. If we
could find a person or two
00:01:03.49\00:01:06.29
who's familiar with
layout and design, and who can
00:01:06.33\00:01:10.67
help with some translating,
as well...especially with
00:01:10.73\00:01:13.97
the French languages.
We're also doing some other
00:01:14.07\00:01:15.84
translation work
into other languages. Now,
00:01:15.94\00:01:18.87
you don't have to learn
the other languages, but
00:01:18.91\00:01:20.24
we're coordinating
with other translators. For
00:01:20.31\00:01:25.61
example, we just
finished Steps to Christ in?
00:01:25.65\00:01:29.08
language. We'll be
publishing that soon. So,
00:01:29.15\00:01:31.85
we're excited about projects
like this, but it's going
00:01:31.92\00:01:34.66
to cost something to publish
that and to distribute it.
00:01:34.72\00:01:38.13
Those are several of
the areas that we need
00:01:38.19\00:01:42.40
help in-people to
help- and also, finances, to
00:01:42.46\00:01:46.63
help with the publishing.
- Amen. - The more money
00:01:46.70\00:01:50.31
there is, the more literature
that can be printed and
00:01:50.37\00:01:52.67
shipped out. There's
not really a limit. There's
00:01:52.74\00:01:56.31
so much need over
there. - There's such a great
00:01:56.34\00:01:59.11
need, and sometimes,
it's overwhelming, how
00:01:59.18\00:02:02.18
you're going to do
that. But as we all work
00:02:02.25\00:02:03.92
together, it happens.
I think the beauty- and
00:02:03.99\00:02:07.79
truly, it does sound
challenging. It sounds,
00:02:07.86\00:02:12.63
sometimes, overwhelming.
But can you imagine the
00:02:12.69\00:02:15.93
faith this builds as
you watch God do these
00:02:16.00\00:02:18.90
wonderful miracles? I
think you had a closing thought,
00:02:18.97\00:02:22.70
Keith. - I'm so glad
that we serve a loving
00:02:22.77\00:02:26.31
God. He is the Lord
of the harvest. I think
00:02:26.37\00:02:28.51
about that promise in
Luke chapter 10:2 where
00:02:28.54\00:02:32.45
Jesus says to His
disciples, "The harvest truly is
00:02:32.48\00:02:35.42
great, but the
laborers are few. Pray the Lord
00:02:35.48\00:02:39.09
of the harvest therefore
to send out laborers into
00:02:39.15\00:02:43.83
His harvest." - Amen.
- So we can talk to our
00:02:43.89\00:02:47.40
Friend, the Lord of
the harvest, and trust
00:02:47.46\00:02:49.16
that He will open
the doors and give us the
00:02:49.20\00:02:51.70
courage and give
others the courage to go and
00:02:51.77\00:02:54.20
share in Congo, in
Chad, wherever it is
00:02:54.24\00:02:57.24
in the world until He
comes back to take us home.
00:02:57.31\00:03:00.04
- Well, I thank you
that you all listened to the
00:03:00.11\00:03:04.11
still, small voice of
the Holy Spirit and that
00:03:04.18\00:03:06.45
you have responded to
that call, because certainly,
00:03:06.51\00:03:09.42
these are beautiful
people and they deserve
00:03:09.48\00:03:13.05
to know the good
news of Jesus Christ. Our
00:03:13.12\00:03:16.09
prayer for you is
that the grace of our Lord
00:03:16.16\00:03:19.66
and Savior, Jesus
Christ, the love of the Father,
00:03:19.69\00:03:21.80
and the fellowship of
the Holy Spirit will be with
00:03:21.86\00:03:24.27
you always. Bye-bye.
00:03:24.33\00:03:26.67
