Welcome back.
00:00:01.36\00:00:02.70
We only have a
couple of minutes left.
00:00:02.73\00:00:04.07
Brother, it's been a blessing
to have you here on the program.
00:00:04.10\00:00:07.04
I'm so thankful
that you could join us.
00:00:07.07\00:00:08.94
And I'm looking forward to
hearing more about what your
00:00:09.24\00:00:12.37
ministry is going to
be doing in the future.
00:00:12.41\00:00:13.74
We would like to
give you the opportunity
00:00:14.28\00:00:15.91
to give us some final thoughts.
00:00:15.94\00:00:17.68
You know, often we see a
variety of different needs
00:00:19.51\00:00:23.59
in our communities, and
we say, "How can we help?
00:00:23.62\00:00:27.02
How can we support
the next generation?"
00:00:27.06\00:00:29.62
And so, I want to encourage
those that are watching
00:00:30.06\00:00:32.79
to really support
the next generation,
00:00:32.83\00:00:34.86
to support your young
people in your church,
00:00:34.90\00:00:36.77
to support those
that are learning.
00:00:36.80\00:00:39.43
Learn with them.
00:00:39.47\00:00:40.80
Grow together with them.
00:00:40.84\00:00:42.24
And really, be willing
to say, "I want to mentor.
00:00:42.54\00:00:46.81
I want to be the
person that helps them grow."
00:00:46.84\00:00:49.41
And this is my experience.
00:00:49.44\00:00:51.68
That my pastor took the
time to take me on stage
00:00:51.71\00:00:54.92
and said, "Read
this Bible verse."
00:00:54.95\00:00:56.58
"Make this appeal for offering."
00:00:56.79\00:00:58.82
And that gave me
the confidence to say,
00:00:59.02\00:01:01.56
I'm going to go up
and share a testimony,
00:01:01.86\00:01:04.39
I'm going to go up and
share a prayer request.
00:01:04.43\00:01:06.36
And being involved in
church has really been
00:01:06.70\00:01:10.23
a tremendous blessing to me.
00:01:10.27\00:01:11.93
One thing that I hear
most often, "Oh how I wish
00:01:12.37\00:01:17.11
I would have done
something like this sooner."
00:01:17.14\00:01:19.57
Many folks come to me in
their older years and say,
00:01:21.08\00:01:24.61
"How I wish I would
have done this sooner."
00:01:24.65\00:01:26.85
And so, my
appeal to you is, today.
00:01:27.22\00:01:29.92
Make that decision
today to get involved,
00:01:29.95\00:01:32.49
to serve in your community,
jump together with a group of
00:01:32.89\00:01:36.62
friends, go on
mission trips, see how God
00:01:36.66\00:01:39.06
will inspire you, motivate
you, and give you the experience
00:01:39.26\00:01:43.33
of a lifetime.
00:01:43.37\00:01:44.70
~ Amen. Amen.
00:01:44.77\00:01:46.27
Thank you so much.
00:01:46.70\00:01:48.04
And thank you for joining us.
00:01:48.07\00:01:50.31
I hope you were blessed.
00:01:50.34\00:01:51.67
- I know we were
blessed by it. - I was.
00:01:51.71\00:01:54.21
We look forward to
seeing you again next time.
00:01:54.24\00:01:56.08
God bless.
