26:38 AND MOST OF US BELIEVE BUT THE SECOND ONE IS ARE YOU 26:43 WILLING TO PROCLAIM, YES, BECAUSE WHEN YOU SING 26:46 YOU'VE GOT TO OPEN YOUR MOUTH, RIGHT? 26:47 RIGHT. 26:48 SO, ARE YOU WILLING TO PROCLAIM, TELL SOMEONE 26:51 ELSE. 26:52 SO, THIS IS WHAT OUR REAL SPIRITUAL GROWTH IS ALL 26:56 ABOUT. 26:57 IF YOU BELIEVE, YOU MUST SHARE IT. 27:00 YES. 27:01 IF IT IS GOOD NEWS, YOU CAN'T HIDE IT. 27:04 SO THAT'S WHAT I'M REQUESTING ALL OF OUR 27:06 DONORS IF YOU REALLY, TRULY BELIEVE MAKE SURE 27:10 THAT YOU ENABLE GOSPEL OUTREACH ON YOUR BEHALF TO 27:15 REACH OUT TO THESE PEOPLE. 27:17 ABSOLUTELY. 27:18 PRAISE THE LORD. 27:19 MANZOOR, THANK YOU. 27:19 WE'RE SO EXCITED AND MAY WE ALL PROCLAIM. 27:22 MAY WE ALL PROCLAIM. 27:23 AMEN. 27:24 AND WE ASK YOU TO PROCLAIM AND WE ASK YOU TO ACCEPT 27:27 JESUS, TO PROCLAIM IT AND BE PART OF THE MINISTRY 27:30 HERE AT GOSPEL OUTREACH AND WE WANT TO SAY THANK 27:32 YOU. 27:33 MAY THE LORD BLESS YOU TODAY. |
