This is so
exciting to see young people
00:00:01.36\00:00:02.70
on fire for the Lord.
00:00:02.73\00:00:04.10
And I just have
to ask real quickly,
00:00:04.17\00:00:06.30
you know, I mean,
when you're going out,
00:00:06.33\00:00:07.67
you're doing
these evangelism series,
00:00:07.70\00:00:09.77
you're not out there preaching
the 2,300 days to people
00:00:09.80\00:00:12.87
who are on the streets, are you?
00:00:12.91\00:00:14.28
No.
00:00:14.31\00:00:15.64
You know, it's
important to understand
00:00:15.68\00:00:17.01
the fundamental
doctrines of our church.
00:00:17.05\00:00:19.31
But when we meet these people,
00:00:19.35\00:00:20.72
they don't have no
relationship with Jesus.
00:00:20.75\00:00:22.25
You know, for the first time
00:00:22.28\00:00:23.62
they're
encountering a Christian,
00:00:23.69\00:00:25.02
they already have
a negative stigma.
00:00:25.05\00:00:26.59
So we're serving them.
00:00:26.62\00:00:27.96
But all of this
presentation, sermons,
00:00:27.99\00:00:30.23
a week of prayers
are solely designed
00:00:30.26\00:00:32.89
to reach the hearts,
to talk about the hope
00:00:32.93\00:00:35.63
that they can find in Jesus,
00:00:35.66\00:00:37.00
to how you can
overcome the anxiety,
00:00:37.07\00:00:38.40
the depressions of your life,
00:00:38.43\00:00:40.97
what does love mean,
00:00:41.00\00:00:42.44
what does
forgiveness mean, you know,
00:00:42.47\00:00:43.81
righteousness by faith of Jesus.
00:00:43.84\00:00:46.11
And it's amazing that
Adventists, non-Adventists,
00:00:46.14\00:00:49.51
they came to this
week of prayer that we did
00:00:49.54\00:00:51.91
in the beginning of the year.
00:00:51.95\00:00:53.28
And I entitled it,
The Struggle Is Real.
00:00:53.31\00:00:55.85
And I was like, "I
don't wanna wear suit,
00:00:55.88\00:00:57.22
I don't wanna wear a tie.
00:00:57.29\00:00:58.62
I wanna see them
for what I wear."
00:00:58.65\00:01:00.56
And so I wore a ball cap,
00:01:00.59\00:01:01.92
and I wore
these different shirts
00:01:01.96\00:01:03.29
and people's like, "Wow!"
00:01:03.32\00:01:04.66
I remember one
message I got, I'm like,
00:01:04.69\00:01:06.03
"I wanna come to your meeting.
00:01:06.06\00:01:07.40
But what should I wear?"
00:01:07.43\00:01:08.76
I was like, "Man,
00:01:08.80\00:01:10.13
I'm wearing a ball
cap as I'm preaching."
00:01:10.17\00:01:11.50
He was like, "Well, cool,
00:01:11.53\00:01:12.87
I'm coming right after the gym."
00:01:12.90\00:01:14.24
And he comes to the gym,
and he hears the messages,
00:01:14.27\00:01:15.60
like "This is
exactly what I needed."
00:01:15.64\00:01:16.97
And we've been able to
develop a relationship,
00:01:17.01\00:01:18.77
and Bible studying, communicate,
00:01:18.81\00:01:20.88
and so that's been my
emphasis as an evangelist
00:01:20.91\00:01:24.31
is understanding the
righteousness of Christ,
00:01:24.35\00:01:25.98
how we can have victory
00:01:26.01\00:01:27.35
in knowing Him as
a personal Savior.
00:01:27.42\00:01:28.85
And of course, later on...
00:01:28.88\00:01:30.69
And then they can
learn the 2,300 days.
00:01:30.72\00:01:32.79
And I'm gonna conduct an
evangelist series later on...
00:01:32.82\00:01:34.59
In the year that
they can understand
00:01:34.62\00:01:35.96
these principles, truths,
00:01:35.99\00:01:37.33
but let's find a
foundation in Jesus first
00:01:37.36\00:01:38.69
and once they fall in love
with Him as a personal, so...
00:01:38.73\00:01:40.43
That's right.
00:01:40.50\00:01:41.83
You had a closing thought?
00:01:41.86\00:01:43.20
Yeah, I just
wanna say, you know,
00:01:43.23\00:01:45.07
to the 3ABN viewers again,
00:01:45.10\00:01:47.47
all the donations that
we get have been a blessing.
00:01:47.54\00:01:50.51
They've helped impact the
community there in Orlando.
00:01:50.54\00:01:53.88
And in turn, it's gonna
impact every city in the US
00:01:53.91\00:01:58.28
as we continue to expand.
00:01:58.31\00:01:59.65
So we're so
grateful for every donation
00:01:59.68\00:02:02.02
that we get from 3ABN viewers.
00:02:02.05\00:02:04.22
And we're excited to
see, you know, together,
00:02:04.29\00:02:06.62
we're in this
together, you know,
00:02:06.65\00:02:09.59
and we're excited to see
where God takes us all next.
00:02:09.62\00:02:12.76
And as the end comes soon,
00:02:12.79\00:02:16.23
we're excited,
Jesus will be here soon.
00:02:16.26\00:02:18.47
And we wanna do
all do our part, so...
00:02:18.50\00:02:21.27
Amen and amen.
00:02:21.30\00:02:23.17
Well, you know,
00:02:23.20\00:02:24.54
when we put the address roll up,
00:02:24.57\00:02:26.01
one thing I forgot to say is
00:02:26.04\00:02:28.08
they can use more
volunteers, you know?
00:02:28.11\00:02:31.48
And I can just see in my
mind God doing this in Chicago,
00:02:31.51\00:02:36.45
in Boston, in New York,
and Detroit, Los Angeles,
00:02:36.48\00:02:39.92
what a wonderful ministry!
00:02:39.95\00:02:42.26
Well...
00:02:42.29\00:02:43.63
I just wanna say don't forget
Service And Love Together.
00:02:43.66\00:02:47.50
S- A-L-T.
00:02:47.53\00:02:50.67
It's good. That's good.
00:02:50.70\00:02:52.13
Thank you so much,
Eric, for being here
00:02:52.17\00:02:55.60
and, Lo-Ammi, for being here.
00:02:55.64\00:02:57.61
And we'll let people figure out
00:02:57.64\00:02:59.14
why I was teasing
you about your name.
00:02:59.17\00:03:01.14
But we just want to
thank you once again.
00:03:01.18\00:03:04.68
And our continued prayer for you
00:03:04.71\00:03:07.02
is at the grace of
our Lord Jesus Christ,
00:03:07.05\00:03:09.75
the love of the Father,
00:03:09.78\00:03:11.12
and the
fellowship of the Holy Spirit
00:03:11.15\00:03:13.22
will be yours today and always.
00:03:13.25\00:03:15.72
