00:21 Hello, and welcome to Jesus for Asia Now.
00:24 I'm Natalie Wood 00:25 and today, we will be talking 00:26 about a very special yearly event 00:28 that happens in the Philippines. 00:30 I have gotten the privilege of going twice already 00:33 and I love it 00:34 and I recommend it to everybody. 00:36 To help us understand what this event is 00:39 and describe it to us, 00:40 we have our brother Gem Castor with us. 00:42 Welcome to the show, Gem. 00:44 Thank you for having me here again, Natalie. 00:46 So Gem, what is PYC, 00:47 this yearly event in the Philippines? 00:50 Philippine Youth for Christ is a conference of young people 00:54 who are hungry for the Lord. 00:57 Okay. And this is just like... 00:59 What kind of conference is that? 01:01 What do you do there? 01:03 I guess you're familiar of GYC, Generation of Youth for Christ. 01:07 This group of young people back in the Philippines 01:09 were inspired by the spirit of GYC, 01:13 and we also prayed and prayed that 01:16 the Lord will somehow give us an experience like that. 01:19 And this is a place 01:21 where young people gather together 01:24 to seek the Lord, 01:25 not just to be entertained 01:27 but to be fed straight from the Word of God. 01:31 So is there prayer room there? 01:32 We know that you have prayer ministry a lot. 01:35 Yes, and as a matter of fact, 01:38 PYC was started with prayer, with so much prayer 01:44 and this is one thing that we have experienced 01:45 because most of us who organize such event are, 01:50 our organizers in our own districts 01:52 or in our own churches 01:54 and we have experienced corporately as a group 01:58 that the only way to do God's work 02:00 is to let God do the work. 02:03 Okay. 02:04 That's really a powerful thought. 02:06 Yes. 02:07 And sometimes we think that we are doing it on our own 02:09 but no, we could only be effective 02:11 if we spend much time with God on our knees. 02:15 And this is one thing, Natalie, that we have experienced 02:18 that the more time we spend pleading before God, 02:20 asking for God's help, asking for God's guidance 02:24 the Lord pours out His Spirit upon us. 02:27 And you have experienced that when you are organizing camps, 02:31 you know, that you have been organizing faith camps 02:33 for how many years already? 02:35 You'll be faced with a lot of challenges. 02:37 And at first we shrink or we repel challenges 02:41 but right now we have seen the challenges 02:43 is actually God's ordained instrument 02:47 to bring His people on their knees. 02:49 And the more... To see dependence. 02:51 Yeah, and the more we bend our knees, 02:55 the more the Lord makes us realize 02:57 that He's the one taking the reins, 02:59 taking the wheel for us. 03:01 So what is your role, you're an older youth, 03:04 let's put it that way. 03:05 Yes. So what is your role in PYC? 03:09 I'm one of the advisors 03:11 and also the prayer coordinator. 03:13 Since I'm involved in the prayer ministry, 03:15 I really love to see young people on their knees 03:18 in prayer. 03:20 So you encourage them 03:21 to spend more time with God too? 03:23 Yes. 03:24 So that's why PYC, it's wrapped in prayer, 03:28 enveloped in prayer 03:29 and I guess that's one of the main thing 03:32 that you will notice in PYC as you have experience, 03:35 as you have observed. 03:37 Even the programming, it's just like a lot of, 03:41 a lot of parts of the program 03:43 that there's a lot of prayer leaders 03:45 coming on the pulpit asking the people to pray 03:47 before, during and after the talks. 03:51 Yeah. 03:52 Yeah, and I know for ourselves when we shared 03:55 just a little five minute thing about Jesus for Asia, 03:59 someone prayed for us like three different times, 04:01 three different people came and said, 04:02 "Can I pray for you before you go up there?" 04:05 So they take it seriously and God blesses as a result. 04:08 Amen. 04:10 I remember, morning prayer time 04:12 we start at five in the morning. 04:14 Okay. Five in the morning. 04:16 That's early for a lot of people. 04:18 Especially for Americans. Yeah. 04:20 And I remember last 2014, when we restarted PYC 04:24 because PYC is somehow have its rest 04:27 for like four years. 04:28 We faced a lot of challenges but by God's grace 04:32 even in those challenging times, 04:34 the Lord somehow showed us that we should want it more, 04:38 that we should be like that person 04:39 who was knocking on the door for his friend at midnight... 04:43 Yeah. 04:44 Yeah, and one amazing thing, Natalie, 04:46 is when the Lord gave us back that wonderful gift 04:49 of the youth ministry back in the Philippines, 04:52 you could see the sense of eagerness, 04:55 the hunger in this group of young people 04:58 that just grew and grew, 05:00 and I remember during the first night 05:03 when we started, just imagine we are like famished 05:06 for the past four years and now this event came. 05:09 Oh, before that I will, I will backtrack a bit. 05:12 We had two months of preparation for this. 05:15 Two months? Two months. 05:17 And it was not in our plans to do it 05:21 but somehow it's the Lord's plans. 05:24 God gave us like tweeps 05:28 like He woke us up in the middle of the night, 05:31 have the burden for the youth ministry 05:32 to push forward 05:34 and we just came together, young people 05:35 and we decided, "Let's do it," 05:37 and we saw the impossibility and it's scary. 05:41 And this time it's going to be the first time 05:42 that we'll be putting it in a resort, 05:45 not in our facility, not in our, not in our church 05:48 because in our church it's just easy 05:51 because everything is there, 05:53 but now we have to put a youth conference 05:56 that young people has to pay like $50 05:59 and for us $50, that's too much. 06:01 That's a lot of money. 06:02 In Philippines sometimes you just pay for like a dollar 06:06 and a lot of people are arguing about it. 06:10 So $50, that's too much. That's huge. 06:12 And we're thinking the only way to make these things possible 06:15 if we have like 300 attendees, 06:18 and for us to come up with 300 attendees to pay $50, 06:22 that's quite impossible. 06:24 And somehow 06:25 we were disheartened at the middle of this, 06:28 unbelief started to come in 06:31 and we bend our knees, we kept on praying. 06:33 And sometimes it's quite challenging 06:35 because I'm out of the country most of the time 06:38 and the team is back in the Philippines, 06:40 so we just encourage one another, 06:42 sometimes I pray my... 06:44 I pray my prayers through Facebook. 06:46 I send them... 06:47 I send them my encouraging words 06:49 and I know God is our true inspiration, 06:51 so when we bend our knees 06:52 that's when the desire comes in again 06:55 to do the Lord's work. 06:57 So what happened was we made it through this, 07:02 the first night and guess what? 07:04 It's not 300 people who came, it's more than 500. 07:07 Wow. 07:09 Until such time that the resort said 07:11 we could not accommodate more than this. 07:14 So young people just came and came and the first night 07:17 and I was one of the host during that night. 07:20 And after the plenary session, 07:22 the keynote speaker finished his talk, 07:26 I was just compelled by God, "Let's do a united prayer." 07:31 So all 500 young people came together and we prayed 07:35 and you'll see grown men weeping, 07:37 you see the hunger of this young people, 07:40 you see that they have been famishing for quite some time 07:45 and now they are feasting on it, 07:47 and this were tears of joy. 07:50 And this is one thing that we begin to realize, 07:53 that is why the Lord gave us this challenges 07:55 of four years of famine 07:56 because He wants us to be hungry for Him. 08:00 And that hunger was filled. 08:02 Wow. God is so good. 08:04 Remember 2015, when we had it, 08:07 it's like 40 to 60 people who came into the prayer room. 08:10 And then 2015, it began to increased. 08:14 It went to 200 08:16 and then the next year it went to 400. 08:19 That's awesome. Yes. 08:20 And I'd like to show you another picture here. 08:22 This is PYC, 2016. 08:25 Yep, I could see you there. 08:26 Yep. Yeah. 08:27 We were there, that was the first time we got to go. 08:29 And you got invited by your son. 08:31 Yes. James. 08:32 Because he came to the previous one. 08:33 What was his reaction to the previous one? 08:36 What did he say? He loved it. 08:38 He said, "I wanted to take all my friends." 08:41 But none of his friends would go, they were all busy, 08:44 kind of reminded me of a parable. 08:46 But anyway they were all busy 08:47 and so we said, "We have to go." 08:49 Yeah. 08:51 We have to go and experience what James has enjoyed so much 08:54 and been challenged by and grown from. 08:57 He just, yeah. 08:58 And I remember James words when he came to me and said, 09:01 "Bro, I gave my life to the Lord again." 09:04 Yes. 09:05 It's amazing. Yes. 09:06 And seeing that, Natalie, seeing that, 09:10 that joy when young people gave their lives 09:15 again to the Lord, 09:16 seeing that recommitment makes all your effort worth it. 09:21 And you could look back and say, "What hardship?" 09:25 Yeah. 09:26 "What sacrifice?" Nothing. 09:29 And this is one amazing thing about this young people, 09:31 they come to this youth conference, 09:34 remember I told you one dollar is even a challenge 09:38 for some people to go and register 09:40 but now you're having like, $50 or $60, 09:44 and by the way the $60 includes already their accommodation, 09:48 their food for the whole conference 09:50 meaning breakfast, lunch and dinner 09:53 and a t-shirt and some little materials 09:56 and yet it's too expensive for them. 09:58 And hearing the stories upon stories 10:00 of this young people, 10:01 how they came up with the money to go, 10:05 it's just like heartwarming, a humbling experience. 10:09 They will, they will go and sell like plastic bottles, 10:14 they collect garbage, they clean houses... 10:16 Yeah, recycles and... Yeah, cleaning. 10:20 You know, even sing and do caroling 10:24 not during Christmas. 10:27 It's caroling during summer 10:29 hoping that people will give them 10:30 and they will let them know about their project. 10:35 And some of the kids who are doing like summer jobs, 10:37 they will work overtime just to earn extra. 10:41 And some of these kids took the first plane ride 10:44 in their lives... 10:46 To come there. 10:47 To come, and remember 10:48 I shared with them my testimony 10:50 of how the Lord has provided 10:52 and they took God at His word that, 10:53 "If this could happen to Gem and some other missionaries 10:56 then it could happen to us. 10:57 This is just one plane ride, Lord, so please help us," 11:01 and the Lord brought them 11:03 and their testimonies were just amazing. 11:05 Yeah. 11:06 That's really neat and to see their fire 11:09 and then there's the other testimonies 11:11 where they had their money to get there, 11:15 but they didn't have money to get home. 11:16 Yes. 11:18 Just imagine that they give their all to the Lord 11:22 and if they have come up with just one way ticket 11:24 they do it anyways, 11:26 they go there 11:27 sometimes without having provision for food. 11:30 They just believe that God will provide for them. 11:33 Do you call that presumption? 11:35 No, because they knew they were supposed to be there. 11:37 They're supposed to be there. God was drawing them. 11:40 They're not there for vacation. No. 11:42 They're there for the Lord's, 11:45 for the Lord's fulfillment of the hunger 11:48 or infilling of the hunger that they have in their hearts. 11:51 And you see how the Lord answers their prayer. 11:53 Yes. 11:55 Like in the middle of the conference, 11:57 and I did not even know that they have needs like this 12:00 until they just tell me like, "Koi, Gem, 12:04 God answered my prayer." "What prayer?" 12:06 And they told me about, 12:08 "I came here only with one way ticket. 12:10 I came here not even having money for food 12:13 and the Lord just provided." 12:15 There was even one group in another youth conference 12:18 also in the Philippines, they came, 17 of them 12:22 went to a conference like this, a conference prior to this 12:26 and they came as well to PYC. 12:29 They sold recyclable materials, 12:33 they went around and gather stuff. 12:35 This one guy who collected an iron, 12:39 a corrugated sheet like your background 12:42 but it was rusty and he got cut. 12:48 So he needs to have like an anti tetanus shot. 12:51 The tetanus shot, yeah. 12:52 So they're gathering money, 12:55 they gathering stuff to raise money 12:57 and now he has tetanus shot. 12:58 Now he has to spend money. 12:59 He has to spend money and the doctor asked him, 13:02 "So what was the cause of this cut?" 13:05 And the doctor somehow heard about the testimony 13:09 and instead of the doctor charging him with some fees, 13:14 the doctor donated for that. 13:16 Wow. 13:18 So as it happened... 13:19 The curse ended up a blessing. 13:21 A huge blessing. 13:23 So they were sharing these testimonies, 13:24 they were all crying 13:26 and after they were sharing these testimonies, 13:28 I came and somehow prayed for them 13:31 and then they said, "Koi, Gem, one prayer request 13:35 because we don't have enough money to go back home. 13:38 We need like 500, 5500 pesos." 13:43 And that is like a $120, $130. 13:47 So we were praying. 13:49 While I was praying, I was impressed by God 13:52 to give the extra $50 that I have for them. 13:55 So I told them after prayer, you know what? 13:57 God is already answering your prayer, 13:59 God has provided for you, like... 14:01 Part of the money. Part of the money. 14:03 And they said, "Praise the Lord, 14:04 praise the Lord. 14:05 You know, God has already given you part of the money 14:09 because the Lord compelled me to give you." 14:11 And they still didn't get it, praise the Lord. 14:13 "No, I'm already giving you half of the amount." 14:16 And then they just realize what I was saying 14:19 and they begin to cry and this young people told me, 14:23 "Koi Gem, we're supposed to be the one giving you money." 14:28 And I was humbled like, "What? 14:31 These young people who could barely pay 14:33 their way back to their hometown 14:35 is thinking of giving me money for my ministry." 14:39 And I'm thinking, "Wow Lord, 14:41 I should be more surrendered like these young people." 14:45 So if you have young people like that, Natalie... 14:49 Yeah. You don't want to hold back. 14:51 Yeah, you do whatever it takes to help them 14:54 and to encourage them and to mentor them. 14:57 Amen, amen. 14:58 Wow. 15:00 So look at this slide, this next slide. 15:04 This is the number of people 15:07 who comes at early morning prayer. 15:11 As Melody said, 15:13 while she was walking at 4:45 in the morning 15:16 thinking that she could be alone with God, 15:18 when she look around 15:19 there's like 30 or 40 young people walking behind. 15:24 Beside her, in front of her. 15:27 It starts out with just like 15:29 a couple of hundred of young people 15:31 and then when the sun rises up at six, yeah, 15:34 because back in the Philippines it's early sunrise 15:38 sometimes the sun rises up at 5:30, at 5:40 15:42 and here you can see it's 6 am, 15:45 and there's like 400 young people 15:48 kneeling before God. 15:49 Such an inspiring thought. 15:51 The next slide will also show you, 15:53 and this is one thing that I'd like to emphasize as well 15:57 because the hunger, 15:59 the need for God's outpouring of His spirit 16:04 is not just isolated in the Philippines. 16:07 Because last year I was asked by GYC 16:10 to lead out in a prayer room 16:13 and this time we have a prayer room in GYC, 16:15 we don't have one in PYC but we had in GYC, 16:18 and the Lord somehow gave this burden to me 16:23 when I saw the size of the prayer room, 16:25 it's really big. 16:27 The Lord somehow spoke to my heart, 16:30 "This is too small," and I'm thinking, 16:32 "Lord, this is too small, this is really big for me," 16:36 because back in the Philippines 16:38 our prayer room would just be one fourth of that room. 16:41 So I asked the coordinator, 16:42 "Can we increase the size of the prayer room?" 16:45 And he told me, "Gem, a prayer room before, 16:49 years before has not been really successful 16:53 so we pray that God will put people 16:55 in the prayer room this time." 16:58 And the president, 16:59 Moise Ratsara, Pastor Moise Ratsara 17:02 initiated a 40 days of prayer prior to GYC. 17:06 And then the Lord just impressed us 17:09 "We have been asking for the Lord's outpouring 17:10 for the past 40 days 17:12 and now the Lord is about to pour out His blessing, 17:16 we're just holding a cup." 17:17 So we opened the prayer room, the next adjacent room 17:22 and it became so overwhelmingly big. 17:25 And I'm thinking, "Lord, 17:26 how are we gonna fill this room?" 17:29 But then... But you wouldn't... 17:31 I was not the one to fill the room. 17:33 And every single day it increased 17:36 from nearly 200 to nearly 400, 17:38 and the highlight was on Sabbath morning, at 5:30, 17:43 just imagine it's not yet the start because... 17:45 It starts at six. It starts at six. 17:47 And 5:30, nearly 100 young people, 17:50 adults alike are there meditating in the prayer room. 17:56 And when we started, people just flooded in 17:59 and I remember, Natalie, 18:00 I'm saying this to the group like, 18:03 "This picture right now puts a huge smile on my face." 18:07 I could not imagine how big the smile of God right now 18:11 looking down upon His people bowing before Him, 18:14 kneeling down before Him. 18:16 And this picture that you will see 18:17 right now on the screen, 18:19 that was in the middle of the prayer session. 18:21 It was like 6:30 and you could see 18:23 how many people are already there. 18:25 And after they prayed in a small groups, 18:28 we gathered them together, we moved closer 18:31 and people started filling in the prayer room. 18:36 And when 7 o'clock came when we opened our eyes, 18:40 there's no place for people to get in. 18:42 People were kneeling outside of the doors. 18:46 God is really waking up His church right now. 18:49 And then praising God 18:50 that it's starting with a young people 18:53 and who would think 18:55 young people would have this desire 18:57 to see God early in the morning 19:00 for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. 19:01 Yeah. Praise the Lord. 19:03 And just this previous PYC, Philippine Youth for Christ, 19:06 it happened in my hometown 19:08 and you can see in this video an aerial shot of Iloilo. 19:13 My hometown, my beautiful hometown. 19:15 Yes, the whole island has two million population. 19:19 Iloilo city has nearly 500,000, it's 448,000 19:26 and these are the youth who attended that conference. 19:29 This was held, 19:31 the Sabbath program was held in a university, 19:37 in a Catholic university auditorium. 19:40 And even that, even that provision was amazing. 19:45 That was God's provision happening there. 19:48 This is what's happening during 5 am. 19:52 So you could see the young people here 19:54 kneeling down in a very quite challenging position, 19:57 we don't have an open room 19:59 so we had it in this hard wooden pew 20:03 and some people are kneeling on the floor. 20:05 And the next slide. This is the workshop. 20:07 Look at the workshop, they don't even have chairs. 20:10 Yeah. More than 200 young people... 20:11 Carted in. 20:13 Listening to this workshop entitled, 20:17 "Thy Will be Done," by Jon Wood 20:19 and Christian Bunch. 20:20 And they were just so engrossed. 20:23 Yeah, that was amazing. 20:24 And this is during the plenary sessions, 20:26 and back in the Philippines it's quite hot, 20:28 you've experienced that, quite humid. 20:31 And look how they're seated so close to one another. 20:34 Yeah. 20:35 And they just could not accommodate all. 20:38 That's why the final session was in the Catholic University. 20:43 Yes. 20:44 It's like 30% or 40% of the attendees 20:47 in this church are sitting outside 20:49 which we don't have pictures to show you. 20:51 Yeah, the doors were open. 20:53 It was very hot, there was no air conditioning. 20:55 There were fans but no air conditioning. 20:57 Manual air conditioning. Yeah. 21:00 But that didn't keep them away. 21:01 Oh, no. It didn't keep them away. 21:02 The hunger was just so intense. And this is the outreach. 21:05 At least we have 10 types of outreach that they did. 21:08 So this is just one of the outreach, 21:10 this is slum outreach. 21:13 It's also like a door knocking type. 21:15 And there is a children's ministry outreach 21:18 where they gather the young kids in the street 21:21 and did like 21:23 a vacation Bible school type of thing. 21:25 There's also a jeepney outreach. 21:28 Jeepney outreach where groups of young people... 21:32 We call them family groups. 21:34 They go ride a jeepney 21:36 and then they'll share something with the passengers 21:38 and with the driver. 21:39 They'll sing songs, they'll pray in the jeepney 21:42 and they'll give water bottles to the jeepney drivers. 21:46 Stop smoking outreach 21:48 where they'll share about health message. 21:50 Hospital outreach, they go visit beds, 21:53 sing songs and pray for the patients. 21:56 Mall outreach, 21:58 they did an orchestra concert in the mall 22:01 and went around the mall distributing tracks 22:03 and they had this prayer box 22:05 asking people for their prayer request 22:08 to put in the box and pray for people inside the mall. 22:12 Wow. 22:13 That's nice. 22:14 And I know there were a lot of testimonies, 22:16 we don't have time to share 22:17 but there were a lot of variety of testimonies 22:20 because there's a variety of different types of outreach. 22:22 Yes. But it was amazing. 22:24 I know one slum ministry. 22:27 They were this... 22:28 They're doing a children's ministry 22:29 and a fire started... 22:30 Wow. 22:31 And because it was a slum, 22:32 it would go rapidly through the slum 22:34 and burn everybody's houses down. 22:36 And anyway they prayed and the Lord stopped the fire 22:40 and enabled them to get enough water, you know, 22:42 to put the fire out, but it was amazing, yeah. 22:45 It's neat to hear their stories. 22:46 Great controversy battle. 22:47 Yeah, it's neat to see them all in their light green shirts, 22:51 all going out by groups. 22:52 Flooding the city. 22:53 Yeah, that was really neat. 22:55 Oh, praise God. 22:56 Yes. And this is our last day. 22:59 This is the picture of these young people 23:01 coming together, not this time at 5 am but at 4 am. 23:05 We started at four with like a couple of hundreds 23:08 but when we ended 23:10 there were like 500 young people 23:14 pouring their hearts and souls to God. 23:17 And the room was full. And the room was filled up. 23:21 And it is such an amazing thought, 23:23 a very encouraging thought to see, 23:25 we really are in the last days. 23:28 These young people have been awakened by God 23:31 to pour out everything to surrender all 23:35 and let God take control. 23:37 And I could see a picture of the day of Pentecost 23:41 happening all over again. 23:43 And the last part of this, of this video 23:48 we could see 23:49 that there's a picture that it'll be flashed later on 23:52 where we gathered all our speakers in a circle 23:57 and we know this young people are quite poor, 23:59 yes, this is it. 24:01 We don't have much to give 24:03 so we gave them the gift of prayer. 24:05 So we laid hands on them. 24:08 We put our hands on each other as well 24:11 signifying our unity. 24:13 And when we prayed, 24:14 we prayed unitedly for the speakers. 24:18 And the speakers said, one of the speakers said, 24:22 "This is the best gift that I've ever received," 24:25 and they were in tears. 24:27 And they said, "This is a family now. 24:30 This is not just a conference, this is a family." 24:32 And this is I guess one thing that God wants to see 24:36 coming out of these conferences 24:40 that we'll be bonded as one body, as one church 24:45 that we may be able to finish this work not by our own might 24:49 or our strength but by His Spirit. 24:52 This is the prayer 24:53 that happened at the end of PYC, 24:55 but we're told that 24:57 we should never leave these things unchanged, 25:00 these type of meetings, conferences or whatever you, 25:03 little camp meeting or whatever. 25:05 So what happens to these young people next? 25:08 Where do they go from here? 25:09 Yes, and that's where our next burden is 25:13 because I could, I could see a lot of young people right now 25:17 coming out of their comfort zone, 25:19 leaving their worldly dreams 25:22 and following God's dream for them. 25:24 I receive a lot of messages 25:26 coming from these young people, 25:28 "Brother Gem, I want to follow God, 25:31 I don't know where the Lord leads me 25:33 but I'm willing to do everything for God." 25:35 And that's why while we were praying a few days ago, 25:39 the Lord impressed us to have a missions outpost, 25:42 you know JFA missions outpost 25:46 where these young people could come together, 25:49 could convene and pray where the Lord leads them. 25:51 And not just that, 25:52 we are planning as well to have a training center 25:55 for these young people. 25:57 We don't want them to go 25:58 and just like do things in their way, 26:02 but we want them to do things God's way. 26:05 We want them to be equipped, we want them to be prepared. 26:08 Wow. 26:09 Well, that's a big dream 26:10 but with God all things are possible, right? 26:12 Amen. We have a big God. 26:13 That's right and He can do anything. 26:15 Amen. 26:16 And it's so, it's so needed, it's necessary actually. 26:20 If people want to know more, 26:22 how can they find out more about PYC? 26:24 We have a Facebook page, 26:26 they could just type philippineyouthforchrist... 26:30 Okay. 26:31 Or they could contact Jesus for Asia. 26:34 Right. 26:36 There is also a website? Yeah, there's a website. 26:39 Our website is undergoing construction. 26:42 Okay. 26:43 By God's grace we will improve it. 26:44 Okay. 26:46 By God's leading and all, the website is PYCWeb.org. 26:50 Okay. 26:52 You know, there's so many young people 26:53 that would like to go that need sponsorship 26:55 and there's young people 26:56 that would like to do work for God 26:59 that need sponsorship. 27:01 We know young people, 27:02 a young lady contacted us after this year's PYC 27:05 that needed sponsorship to finish her schooling 27:07 because she wants to be a missionary right afterward 27:10 and so we've sent money already 27:12 even though no one had sent us money 27:14 to sponsor her with. 27:15 If you would like to sponsor someone to attend PYC 27:19 or to work for God as a full time missionary 27:22 or if you would like to attend PYC yourself 27:25 or sponsor someone else to go 27:26 whether from America or another country 27:29 or within the Philippines, 27:30 please contact us here at Jesus for Asia. 27:33 It gives us great pleasure 27:35 to help with these kinds of things 27:36 when it's not necessarily a specific project, 27:40 but we have the funds available for where it needed most. 27:45 If you would like to enable us 27:46 to do more of this kind of ministry, 27:48 please send your tax-deductible love gift 27:50 to Jesus for Asia, PO Box 1221, 27:53 Collegedale, Tennessee 37315. 27:57 Call us at 423-413-7321 28:01 or visit our website at Jesus4asia.org. 28:04 Thank you so much for joining us, 28:06 and may God richly bless you 28:07 until we see you again next week 28:09 on Jesus for Asia Now. |
