00:01 The following program discusses sensitive issues
00:03 related to addictive behavior. 00:05 Parents are cautioned that some material 00:06 may be too candid for younger children. 00:13 I think I'm always amazed 00:16 even when you start talking about the time again, 00:18 this was 18 months ago and I'm looking at you 00:21 and I knew even during the prayer 00:23 that you were gonna be sitting some day just full of joy, 00:26 knowing that it was all working out. 00:28 Talk a little bit about the property again, 00:30 I know there's a connection here to the US 00:33 and then I want you to talk to somebody out there 00:36 that maybe feels like I'm walking dead now. 00:38 I don't get it. 00:40 I'm hopeless. Okay. 00:41 Well, thank you. 00:43 So the property, we've been blessed, 00:44 the three families have been blessed 00:46 in acquiring a 1400 acre property 00:48 in one of the most pristine areas 00:50 of New Zealand in Rotorua. 00:52 A $22 million property. 00:55 Somewhere around that figure. 00:56 Yeah. Yeah. 00:57 Isn't God great? 00:59 And you know what? Crazy. 01:00 It's not about the money, it's about the mission. 01:03 There are three families that have come together 01:05 for one purpose 01:06 and that is to provide an environment 01:09 where ministry can take place 01:11 and so we're almost like an umbrella. 01:14 So it's gonna be for young people, 01:15 we're gonna do a leadership program 01:18 to disciple young people and all people alike, 01:20 marriage retreat, 01:22 health and wellness 01:24 and here's the beautiful thing, 01:26 when Jesus says, 01:27 "With two or three together in His name, 01:30 we can do all things." 01:31 We understand, the three families understand 01:33 what it means to work together in Christ 01:36 and synergistically use the skill sets 01:38 and the gifts that He's given each individual in that family 01:42 to achieve a kingdom result. 01:45 And that's why, yeah, 01:46 so we're not gonna specialize in one 01:47 because that's too small. 01:49 He wants us to provide an environment in 1400 acres 01:52 where ministry can take place 01:54 and as long as we stay true to the core 01:56 and that's developing vertical and horizontal relationships 02:00 where Jesus Christ is the center. 02:01 Amen. 02:03 Then the impossible is possible 02:05 'cause we're living the impossible, 02:06 so only God gets the glory. 02:08 Amen. 02:09 Not only that, the property and the property in America, 02:12 in La Porte, Indiana, 02:13 there we're also gonna do some similar things. 02:15 That's incredible. I got to say, thank you. 02:16 We are running out of time 02:17 but if you are out there and you are feeling like, 02:19 The Walking Dead and you are hopeless, 02:21 do not give up, do not give up. 02:23 Grab somebody, let them speak into your life, 02:26 let someone pray for you, 02:27 let someone step in and where you cannot see God, 02:33 let them just be there for you at that time. 02:35 Until next time, 02:37 always remember that God is crazy about you, me too. 02:40 Don't give up. 02:41 It's amazing when God's steps in. |
