00:01 On today's program, we travel
00:02 to the Reception Diagnostic Center.
00:06 This is a very unique facility.
00:07 If we were to characterize it, I suspect we would call it
00:10 a bit of a holding tank.
00:12 Men and boys who have been sentenced
00:14 are sent here for diagnosis and then a determination
00:18 is made what long-term facility they will be sent to.
00:23 They are evaluated by age, educational needs,
00:28 any number of parameters determine
00:31 what facility they will go to.
00:32 I'm told that some 22,000 men per year
00:37 move through the Reception Diagnostic Center.
00:40 So it's a transient place.
00:41 People don't stay very, very long.
00:43 Again, there is no contact with the outside.
00:45 No calls, no visits, no phone calls, no entertainment.
00:49 Perhaps, it's the perfect situation for a person
00:53 to get a hold of Jesus Christ or do I say for Jesus Christ
00:58 to get a hold of them because they are shut off
01:00 from all of those things, which occupy our time
01:03 and occupy our minds.
01:04 They get a chance to think about Jesus and a Bible
01:07 in this facility goes a long, long way.
01:11 Many men have had a chance to reflect
01:13 on their relationship with God, their relationship
01:17 with life and begin to make changes
01:20 in the devotion of Jesus Christ.
01:22 You're gonna hear some very powerful stories
01:23 today from the Reception Diagnostic Center.
01:47 There is a movie that is not really Biblically accurate
01:52 but it has a section where Jesus allegedly visits
01:56 John the Baptist in prison.
01:59 And before He goes in prison, one of the guards asks Christ
02:03 do you intend to free John from his cell?
02:07 And Jesus said no, I intend to free him in his cell.
02:13 This program Free Indeed is about being free in Jesus.
02:18 I'm standing here with my buddy Lem Vega.
02:20 He tells me that he was in a cell
02:22 just like this at the Regional Diagnostic Center,
02:26 that depression took hold of him
02:27 and he tried to take his life.
02:29 This is the stark reality
02:31 of what goes on in a place like this.
02:34 It's a bar, it's a cot.
02:37 It's a public toilet where you don't have privacy.
02:41 It's the reality that your life will never be the same.
02:45 And yet even in this small cramped quarter,
02:50 we can be free in Jesus.
02:53 And that's what this is all about.
02:54 We have come to visit those who are trapped in this place,
03:00 but there are so many others who are trapped
03:02 in all kinds of things that hold them
03:04 just as securely bound as these bars
03:07 that we're looking at.
03:09 And so Free Indeed makes the statement whether you're free,
03:14 but trapped in drugs or any other suicidal problem
03:18 or whether you're incarcerated and trapped behind bars,
03:22 if Christ shall make you free, you can be free indeed.
03:33 We are privileged and blessed
03:35 to have a renowned name in the house.
03:38 We are all equal,
03:39 but we have Michael Jordan with us tonight. Amen.
03:41 Thank you, thank you, Michael,
03:42 for being willing to share your testimony.
03:44 Michael, you have a message of hope
03:46 that you would like to share with the world.
03:49 You know, you've been side-ditched for a moment
03:51 because of incarceration.
03:53 But what would that message be to the whole wide world
03:56 that there is hope in this time in which we live?
03:58 Without God, without God we're nothing.
04:00 We came being nothing.
04:01 We'd never to amount to
04:03 anything without God being in our life.
04:05 I had--I had to know that for myself.
04:06 I learned that as a baby boy without God,
04:10 we're not gonna be nothing.
04:11 I mean, He is--He is our everything.
04:12 He's gonna be at everything.
04:14 He's the first and last and everything.
04:16 But somehow as you learned that as a little child
04:19 somehow that wasn't the focal point of your life.
04:22 That's right. How did you get refocused?
04:25 Well, it took, it took death of my mother,
04:26 it took death of my mother.
04:27 My mother just passed away in November
04:29 and I had to focus back, think back
04:31 to where I came from, you know?
04:33 So--so the Bible says "Train up a child
04:35 in the way he should go, and he should not depart from it.
04:37 That's right, you know, brother,
04:38 my mother languished with cancer
04:41 and I hate to tell you this, but I didn't even drive
04:44 to Chicago three or four hour journey to see my mother
04:46 before she passed with cancer.
04:48 I was too involved with the drugs.
04:50 You know, on this journey have you,
04:52 have you been able to share that you can overcome
04:55 some of these hurdles?
04:56 Oh, yes, oh, yes. I'll testify to everybody I can that,
04:59 that the God is real, you know, they have to trust
05:01 in the Lord with all you heart and lean
05:03 not to your own understanding
05:04 'cause your own understanding get you nowhere.
05:06 By leaning to Him, then you're telling me
05:08 that He empowers you, at least He has in my life,
05:11 to overcome temptations.
05:12 That's right, that's right.
05:13 To overcome the world.
05:15 That's right. In the world, the Bible says,
05:16 you shall have tribulation; but be of good cheer,
05:19 because He says-- He's here.
05:21 I have overcome the world, amen.
05:22 That's right. In closing, what would you share
05:24 with those people that are struggling
05:26 to find their identity in the world today?
05:28 Look to the hills, will cometh your help,
05:29 your help come from God.
05:31 Brother, thank you so very, very much
05:33 and God bless you. God bless.
05:39 Today I'm blessed to have Tyron with us.
05:41 Tyron is a good friend of mine and he received
05:43 one of these gift packages, one of these brown paper
05:46 sacks from the county jail.
05:48 And we want to hear just now of the value
05:50 and meaning that it means to someone incarcerated
05:53 that they have not been forgotten.
05:55 You know, well to actually put it in words
05:58 is very difficult because it's a lot of gratitude
06:03 but then again it's a lot of just joy that overtakes
06:07 you when you think about the food you know,
06:09 you come--some of these guys come from families
06:12 that's been broken up you know, and families
06:16 that's abusive and families
06:19 that you just didn't actually burn bridges with, you know?
06:21 And they are not there anymore.
06:23 And when these come in and along with the books
06:27 you get the meat and actually get this,
06:30 you know, the sweets.
06:31 But, Tyron, share with me now a moment of time
06:33 the spiritual blessing that's left behind.
06:36 Well, most of the guys, most they get down
06:38 when they actually get down with their food
06:40 and they got to dig in down in the bag
06:42 and they actually see these books that's the meat,
06:45 and actually send off to some of these Bible study classes.
06:48 And they start getting involved
06:50 with these Bible study classes
06:52 and they actually get to know the Lord.
06:54 Praise the Lord. What would you share to our sponsors
06:56 in appreciation that made this possible because it's not us?
06:59 I would say thank you from the bottom
07:02 and from the top of my heart
07:04 and I would say to other organizations out there,
07:06 each one, teach more.
07:09 I even go as far as saying, each one,
07:12 teach one, reach one.
07:13 I challenge you to rise to the occasion
07:16 of what this organization or these organizations are doing.
07:19 This is a great thing.
07:20 And I am your neighbor and you are mine so with that--
07:24 If you would like to be involved in any aspect
07:26 of the Christmas Behind Bars gift distribution,
07:29 you can contact this at christmasbehindbars.org
07:33 or on Facebook facebook.com /chrismasbehindbars.
07:38 We thank you for being willing to give for being willing
07:41 to serve and I believe that you'll see many people
07:44 in the Kingdom of Heaven because you were willing
07:46 to give to your neighbor.
07:51 Anthony, is this your first time in prison?
07:54 Second time, sir.
07:55 Second time in prison.
07:56 How much time do you are you planning
07:58 on spending in prison?
08:00 18 months, sir.
08:01 18 months. So soon you'll be back out to the street.
08:04 18 months is not long.
08:05 We were just at the women's prison yesterday
08:07 and we talked to women that's 26 years,
08:10 14 years, 18 years and it just breaks my heart
08:13 because most of them it was their first time in prison.
08:15 Can you tell me
08:17 what and how that you will not return to prison?
08:22 Well-- What will keep you from returning to prison?
08:25 It's just taking heed to the word of God,
08:26 sir, just being obedient to the word of Jesus Christ,
08:30 just you know, just let Jesus Christ be Lord
08:33 and Savior of my life.
08:34 Not my will but His will be done in my life, sir.
08:37 How did that change, uh, was it in the county jail
08:40 or where did this change from whatever reason
08:42 that you're here, where did that change
08:44 to where now that's your focus?
08:46 Well, it happened at the county jail
08:48 because when you separate, you know, separated me
08:50 from my wife and my children, you know, I had to forget
08:54 about self and started you know, focusing
08:56 on you know, I mean everything else to start focus
08:59 on you know, Jesus Christ you know, 'cause I needed a change
09:01 in my life right then and there immediately.
09:03 Had you had a relationship with Jesus
09:05 prior to this time of incarceration?
09:07 Yes, sir. I was one side in and one side out
09:09 going half and half, you don't straddle
09:11 an offense, sir.
09:12 And there is no such a thing, is it?
09:14 No, sir. Either we're gaining and growing
09:16 in the knowledge in the joy of the God
09:18 to be free indeed or we're regressing, amen? Yes, sir.
09:23 What, what Bible scripture would you like to share
09:25 that's been a real meaningful passage
09:28 for you on this journey to recommit
09:30 and dedicate your life to Jesus?
09:32 One of the scriptures that one of my favorite
09:34 is Matthew 6:33 "Seek ye first the kingdom of God,
09:38 and his righteousness; and all these things
09:40 shall be added unto you."
09:42 What message, what message, Anthony,
09:44 would you be able to look out there into the world
09:47 and share with them
09:49 because the world is doing wrong things.
09:51 I mean, the world is running rampant with violence,
09:54 and drugs, and sex, and unmanageability.
09:56 But somehow they think as long as they got their next fix
09:58 or their next paycheck, they're okay.
10:00 What would you share with those people that think
10:02 they're okay or maybe is on the fence
10:04 to make a decision for or against Jesus?
10:06 Well, first I would just say let go and let God
10:10 and just hold on you know, 'cause Jesus
10:12 is on the way whatever situation
10:13 that's going on in your life, you just continue,
10:15 just trust in the Lord 'cause He'll bring you out of it.
10:17 Just, just hold on 'cause He'll be with you right
10:20 where you at but you just have to trust in Him
10:22 and lean not to thy own understanding
10:23 but in all thy ways acknowledge Him.
10:25 And He shall direct your path.
10:27 And listen to your wives and mothers and loved ones
10:29 those that are there and tell them
10:30 you turned from those things and listen to your pastors.
10:33 You know, you have to listen and take heed
10:35 and then you take heed and God
10:36 will meet you the rest of the way.
10:38 In closing, let me, let me ask you something for those,
10:41 for those children that are out there in the world
10:43 because daddy is locked up, for those wives
10:46 that are out there wondering where the next loaf of bread's
10:48 gonna come from.
10:49 What would you share with them to hold on
10:51 and that, that children do not give up?
10:55 Just remember, just pray for dads and your loved ones
10:58 that are away right now and just hold on and just trust
11:01 on the Lord and just continue praying and don't give up,
11:04 just, just have faith in the Lord,
11:06 you know, just, just hold on, you know, daddy will be home
11:09 soon and just don't give up, just continue,
11:11 just keep praying and, and don't give up.
11:14 Amen. Thank you, brother, so very, very much
11:16 and God bless you.
11:20 And gentlemen, you have an active role
11:22 in the transforming power of God in your children's life
11:25 'cause Beavis and Butthead and the Simpsons
11:26 aren't gonna encourage your children to be Free Indeed.
11:30 You have an active role to pickup that word of God
11:32 and send them snippets of the vision
11:34 that you see of what Christ has done for us
11:37 with your children and the Holy Spirit
11:39 will go before those letters
11:41 as those children open them. C.A..,
11:44 God bless you and we love you.
11:54 I'm a big word guy.
11:55 I like, I like words and I find some
11:59 very important words in the Bible.
12:01 Now I'm gonna give you kind of a little homework assignment,
12:03 you've got your Bibles.
12:06 This is kind of tough book to find.
12:08 It's in the New Testament. It's called Ephesians.
12:10 Not that long called Ephesians.
12:14 So while you're trying to find it, I'll talk to you.
12:17 Is that all right?
12:18 Because I want you to find Ephesians Chapter 2.
12:20 It's not deep into through the Gospel,
12:24 Ephesians Chapter 2.
12:26 The Bible says "For we are His workmanship,
12:30 we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus
12:35 for good works, which God prepared beforehand
12:42 that we should walk in them."
12:44 We are God's workmanship.
12:48 When God got down and began to put stuff together,
12:54 you're it and God made you for good works.
12:59 I wanna give you three words, the first is purpose.
13:04 What did I say? Purpose.
13:06 Purpose, the second is focus--
13:10 Focus. Focus and the third is function.
13:13 So we got purpose, focus, and function.
13:20 Now purpose is the reason that something was created.
13:26 Purpose is why it exists.
13:30 Focus is what keeps you on your purpose, Amen.
13:37 And function is what you use it for,
13:41 be it for its purpose or for some other reason.
13:47 But purpose is why you exist.
13:50 Function or rather focus keeps you on your purpose
13:55 and function is what you use it for.
13:57 I'm gonna tell you a story and I need to preface
14:00 this by saying it's a true story,
14:02 although it may sound like fiction,
14:04 every word of it is true.
14:06 I've used it a lot.
14:07 I just came back from Tulsa, Oklahoma
14:10 and I used it there because it means so much to me.
14:15 It's a powerful story.
14:17 Comes from the country of Brazil and evidently
14:21 on a Sunday evening, a little town
14:24 by the Atlantic Ocean in Brazil,
14:27 a cabdriver comes across the body of a young man
14:31 who's been a victim of a hit and run driver
14:33 about 17 years of age.
14:35 He's still alive, but he's in bad shape.
14:38 Somebody hit this child, left him there
14:42 and so this Christian cabdriver
14:47 sees this boy bleeding, puts him in a cab and hurries off
14:52 to the closest place where he can find some help.
14:55 Now where he takes him is not a full hospital.
14:58 It's a little clinic and evidently in Brazil
15:00 they have a lot of these little clinics around.
15:03 You know to take care of the, the poor classes of people.
15:05 This little clinic. Not a big hospital just a little clinic.
15:08 Sunday evening not much going on, doctor,
15:12 a nurse and an orderly, you know, somebody to lift
15:15 patients and stuff.
15:17 And so the cabdriver comes in and he's all excited.
15:19 He said, hey, man, you got to help, you got to help.
15:21 I got this, I got this young man, he's bleeding in the back
15:23 of my cab and you got to help, you got to help,
15:25 you got to do something right now.
15:26 And the doctor says well, wait a minute just,
15:28 just wait a minute not so fast.
15:31 Does the boy have insurance?
15:34 And the cabdriver says,
15:35 well, I don't know if he has insurance.
15:37 I mean, he's bleeding.
15:38 I didn't go through his pockets.
15:39 I don't know if he has insurance,
15:40 I don't think he has anything on him.
15:42 I just found him on the road.
15:43 But you got to help, you got to help and the doctor
15:45 says well, well, wait just a second.
15:48 He says do you have any money?
15:51 And the taxi driver says well, its Sunday evening.
15:54 Things are kind of slow I gotta a couple of bucks,
15:56 but I don't have any real money.
15:58 But we got to do something now and the doctor says okay,
16:01 just not, not so fast, not so fast.
16:03 He says because if, if,--
16:09 if he doesn't have insurance
16:12 and you don't have any money,
16:15 I don't know if there's much I can do.
16:20 And the cabdriver says, listen you don't understand
16:27 if, if we don't do something, this boy is going to die.
16:34 And the doctor says, well, you don't understand my position.
16:39 I don't make the rules, I just work here.
16:43 And the rules say
16:46 that if they don't have insurance
16:51 and no money we can't give treatment for free.
16:57 Can't do it. We wouldn't be in business along
17:00 if we just started treating people and didn't get money.
17:05 So I don't know if there is anything
17:06 I can do and so the cabdriver says yeah,
17:09 but, but you are a doctor, you got to do something.
17:14 Okay, here's what you do.
17:16 Tell me what to do and I'll bandage him up.
17:22 So just tell me and the doctor says can't do it,
17:26 can't do it because if I tell you what to do
17:32 and you do something wrong,
17:35 they're not gonna come after you
17:38 'cause you don't have a license.
17:40 They're gonna come after me.
17:42 So I can't, I can't do anything and I can't tell you
17:49 what to do and so they go back and forth,
17:52 back and forth, back and forth and the taxi driver
17:54 says all right okay, will you just come and look at him,
18:02 just come and see him and maybe you can tell me
18:05 if I can get him to a hospital or something,
18:07 just come and look at him and the doctor says can't do it.
18:12 He says the law says I can't treat him
18:15 and I can't tell you what to do.
18:19 So looking at him would be a waste of time.
18:22 What you need to do is get him to a hospital
18:25 where somebody can help.
18:27 So now this has gone on for about 40 minutes.
18:30 The child's in the back of the cab.
18:33 And so the taxi driver realizes
18:36 that he's not gonna have any success.
18:40 This little serve and volley is not going fly.
18:43 So he jumps in his cab and takes this boy
18:46 all the way across town to one of those big public hospitals
18:49 that takes indigent patients who don't have any money.
18:51 They'll take anybody.
18:53 But the problem is they wasted 45 minutes
18:59 and the roads are bad and so by the time
19:01 the young man gets there, he is DOA.
19:07 Now how do you tell a mother that her son was hit
19:12 by somebody who left him to die and in medical profession
19:18 pretty much guaranteed that he's gonna pass.
19:22 Well, that's the story the police had to tell this mom
19:27 when it took the story home.
19:29 Mother's there, little sister, father wasn't there.
19:33 Now later on that night, the father comes home
19:35 and it just so happens by coincidence
19:37 that he is a doctor,
19:38 but he doesn't work at a little clinic.
19:40 He works at a big private hospital.
19:42 Kisses his wife, hugs his daughter
19:43 next question where is our son.
19:47 And as the wife tells the story, a startling set
19:50 of coincidences begin to unfold because even though
19:53 he worked at a private hospital every now and again,
19:55 he did some public work at a little clinic.
19:59 And as she tells the story, the doctor says, you know,
20:01 I remember a cabdriver did run into the clinic tonight.
20:07 And as she tells the story, he is forced to the conclusion
20:11 that the young man that he refused to treat,
20:15 the young man he refused even to see, was his own child.
20:22 I told you true story, not made up, true story.
20:26 Now the story would be sad if that was the end,
20:28 but the last paragraph said this that the doctor
20:30 had seized the practice of medicine
20:33 and has been confined to an asylum suffering
20:36 from depression and irreconcilable guilt.
20:42 So the question I ask you gentlemen,
20:43 before I have to sit down is what went wrong?
20:46 What went wrong?
20:49 Somebody lost focus.
20:54 They forgot about their purpose.
20:56 The purpose of the medical profession
20:59 is to heal, is to save lives.
21:03 And it is your focus
21:04 that keeps you on your purpose, amen. Amen.
21:09 When you lose focus, you forget about your purpose.
21:14 And the Bible says you, me, we were created
21:18 by God for good works.
21:21 That's what the text says.
21:22 That's your purpose.
21:25 God made you to do good.
21:28 That's your purpose.
21:30 That's why you exist.
21:33 Focus will keep you on your purpose
21:37 so when you are tempted to make that left turn
21:41 you know what I mean?
21:43 You got to stay focused
21:45 because focus will keep you on your purpose.
21:50 When you want to--when you feel like you need
21:53 to retaliate,
21:58 when you want to retaliate,
22:02 you got to remember your purpose.
22:05 You got to stay focused because focus
22:10 will keep you on your purpose and the Bible
22:13 told you what your purpose is, God created you
22:16 for good works that you should glorify Him.
22:21 Amen. Stay focused on your purpose.
22:27 I would like some honesty here tonight.
22:31 Honesty because we have 38 Bibles and I got 50 people
22:38 here and I'm sorry I ain't got like enough.
22:40 If you got a Bible two weeks ago
22:42 even if it's a New Testament please don't raise your hand.
22:48 We'll try to bring Bibles when we come back
22:51 because another brother would value that New Testament
22:54 but we can't get it traded around here tonight.
22:58 Is there anybody here that would like a Bible
23:03 but don't have one?
23:10 We're trying to get more Bibles, brothers.
23:13 Hold--keep your hands up, keep your hands up.
23:15 If you don't have one, you're being honest with me, please.
23:20 Little children brought in dollars,
23:23 one girl gave a $100, a young girl
23:27 that these Bibles could be purchased.
23:30 So if you don't have one, please pray
23:33 that we can get more Bibles
23:35 because I see this is a prime opportunity
23:37 that my partners who leave this place
23:39 could take the word of God with them.
23:42 So, brothers, please keep us in your prayers. C.A.,
23:45 I'm gonna ask you if you would come up
23:46 and close this with prayer.
23:50 I hope you'll keep this broadcasting network
23:52 in your prayers and this program
23:54 that you will meet thousands of people.
23:56 Keep your hands up if you don't have one.
23:59 That you will meet thousands of people literally hundreds
24:01 hundreds of thousands of people
24:02 in the Kingdom of Heaven
24:03 'cause you're willing to come here tonight
24:05 and share of your time and of your testimonies.
24:10 Gentlemen, will you stand with me? Okay.
24:14 There's one here.
24:18 Father God, we just thank you and praise
24:20 you for this opportunity to minister the love of Christ
24:24 to our brothers and sisters.
24:26 We think about those who are in this place
24:29 and who the world says are incarcerated
24:33 but we know that in Christ they can be free.
24:37 For freedom is not just about where we are.
24:42 It's about where our heart is and where our mind
24:44 is and where our spirit is.
24:47 And we surrender now our spirits
24:51 to you because you said whom the son shall make free,
24:57 he shall be free indeed.
25:00 And we ask you to look after our families and our friends
25:04 and those who may not be in a facility,
25:09 but who in their own spirits are in shackles and in prison
25:16 walking around free but really in prison.
25:22 Free them from whatever binds them
25:25 and let them be free in Jesus also.
25:29 Thank you Lord for this time together.
25:32 Thank you for the power of your word.
25:34 Thank you for the power of your spirit.
25:38 Thank you for Jesus who died for our sins.
25:42 We live now in Him and thank you
25:45 in Jesus name, amen and amen.
25:50 When I got to RDC, it was such a hard time for me,
25:53 I mean, I didn't have any money
25:55 and I thought my wife was just in shambles.
25:57 I was there for three days and I was so hungry.
26:00 I woke up in the middle of the afternoon
26:02 one time in July and I heard, you know, banging on my door
26:05 and there was these three gentlemen standing outside
26:07 standing outside of the door
26:08 and they handed me this bag and a Bible.
26:11 And inside of the bag from Christmas Behind Bars
26:13 it was just full of food and full of hygiene
26:16 and they, and they actually gave me a study Bible as well.
26:19 And let me just tell you I didn't have any literature
26:21 whatsoever and that was the best gift they could possibly
26:24 have ever given at that time.
26:26 I mean, I didn't have anybody, no family,
26:28 nobody writing to me,
26:30 nobody, you know, looking out for me
26:31 and it just--it touched my heart.
26:33 I was able to study the word of God,
26:35 I mean, at night time you get so hungry at RDC
26:38 because you just don't have that much food.
26:40 And I tell you what just the gifts that were given to me
26:43 it touched my heart.
26:44 I felt Jesus Christ in a lonely, lonely place
26:48 and I tell you I just--my heart goes out
26:50 to Christmas Behind Bars and I'm just so grateful
26:53 for what they have done for me.
26:56 You've had five years' experience
26:58 with the receiving end, the distribution end.
27:01 This is your first look at the--the sort of business end,
27:04 the putting together end,
27:06 what do you think about what you see going on here today?
27:07 Yeah, it's an amazing operation.
27:09 I tell you, you guys have it down
27:11 to a science or a fine art.
27:13 When Mr. Vega invited me here today as I was coming down
27:16 State Road 19, I saw a huge number of cars
27:18 here at the warehouse and I thought well,
27:20 this must be a bigger operation than I thought it was.
27:23 Then when I walked in through the door,
27:24 it's just like assembly lines.
27:26 Everybody has a job to do.
27:27 Everybody has a responsibility.
27:29 I've been watching it.
27:31 I'm kind of amazed at how smooth it's going.
27:33 Everybody takes their responsibility seriously
27:37 and to think that you're going to get 15,000 bags
27:40 packed in just a few hours is incredible.
27:43 And, I guess, I never really thought much about the,
27:45 the folks behind the scenes, the volunteers that it takes
27:48 to make this program work.
27:50 I've seen what happens at the distribution point,
27:52 but now I recognize the tremendous effort
27:58 and the huge number of volunteers
28:00 it takes to make this ministry a success.
28:03 And I know that not all these folks would probably
28:06 have the opportunity to visit a jail or a prison
28:09 when these bags are distributed,
28:11 but I hope that they can fully recognize in their hearts
28:14 what, what good their efforts will confers.
