00:01 (upbeat music)
00:21 - Hello and welcome to Jesus for Asia Now.
00:24 I'm Natalie Wood and my husband, John is with me today,
00:27 as we share about a young family
00:28 serving God in the mountain jungles of Thailand.
00:31 Hello, love. - Hi, darling. How are you?
00:33 - I'm doing fine today, thank you.
00:35 - Good.
00:37 - Now I'm looking forward to the stories
00:38 that we have to share today.
00:38 - Yes.
00:39 - Who are we learning about?
00:41 - Okay. We're gonna go and spend some time with Jason
00:43 and Shoshana Sharon.
00:45 - Okay. And where are they working?
00:47 They're working in the Western Highlands
00:50 up in the jungle, mountain jungles of Thailand.
00:52 - Okay. So why do they do there?
00:54 - Well, Jason first went there
00:56 way back in like 2008 or something.
01:00 - A long time ago.
01:02 - [John] Yeah.
01:03 And at the time he was a single guy
01:06 and he started by just helping wherever he could.
01:09 And then he started a training school
01:13 where you train in Bible work and literature, or evangelism.
01:17 I don't know how much literature they were able to do
01:19 because there's not a lot of literature in the language
01:22 that is local there, which is the language
01:24 of the Karen.
01:25 - Right.
01:27 - He was there for quite a while and his parents came,
01:29 and joined his project.
01:31 - Great.
01:32 - And we have a couple of clips
01:33 from that original school that was in the jungle.
01:37 (emotional music)
02:36 But then the rules in the country changed.
02:38 They couldn't stay there any longer.
02:40 - Right.
02:41 - And so they went and built another place with his parents
02:44 and a young lady came and was helping his family.
02:48 - Right.
02:49 - Their family, his parent's family.
02:51 And they fell in love and realized they were very compatible
02:55 and they got married
02:57 and she's the sweetest person you could ever hope for.
03:00 - Right.
03:02 - And they both have this really humble,
03:04 down to earth approach to life.
03:08 And they're in the perfect environment
03:10 because they're around people that, well,
03:14 they don't know anything about Jesus and they're,
03:17 they live a very simple kind of rice farming
03:20 kind of lifestyle up in the mountains and they are Karen.
03:26 So they speak the Karen language.
03:27 A lot of them speak some Thai,
03:29 but it's mainly Karen that that area speaks.
03:32 And so I'm wearing a Karen shirt.
03:35 - Right.
03:35 - And so are you.
03:36 - I am too, yes.
03:38 So Jason and Shoshana as they were getting together
03:42 and falling in love,
03:44 they actually were doing Bible studies
03:45 because she wasn't an Adventist at the time.
03:48 - That's right.
03:50 - And she was interested in learning and understanding
03:51 what these Sharon family believed, you know,
03:54 and why they believe these things.
03:57 And so they were doing Bible studies together,
03:59 as a family also, but together,
04:02 and that's where the Lord brought them together
04:05 was as they studied the Bible together,
04:07 which is really a neat thing.
04:09 - Yes, absolutely.
04:10 - That God used that Bible study time
04:13 to knit their hearts together as well.
04:16 - [John] Right.
04:17 - So they're in one as one in belief as well as,
04:20 as one in family and marriage.
04:22 - [John] Right. Yeah.
04:24 And so they spent a couple of years there and realized
04:26 that there's so many villages in that entire area.
04:32 - [Woman] Right.
04:33 - That have no presence, no witness at all.
04:37 And so they felt it would be more efficient
04:40 if they moved to a new village
04:42 and started a new center.
04:44 - [Woman] Right.
04:46 So they're out in this village by themselves.
04:48 They are the only Adventists there.
04:49 And they are just living among their neighbors.
04:53 They're not, you know,
04:55 they haven't been like trying to hold evangelistic series
04:58 or anything like that.
04:59 - [John] Right. Probably wouldn't work.
05:00 - They've just been living among them.
05:01 - Yes, so, because this is a new project,
05:05 Jason was very strong about not having cameras
05:09 in the village.
05:10 - Right.
05:11 - Because he didn't want his neighbors
05:13 to feel like they were on display.
05:15 - Right.
05:16 - And so he agreed to do it, if our foreign correspondence,
05:20 Jonathan and Hanni Hill, would only film him
05:23 doing rice harvesting, planting, and the whole rice cycle.
05:27 - Yeah. Working, instead of just sitting there talking.
05:30 - Right. And so Soshana in this video,
05:33 we've split it up into four parts,
05:36 but in each part Shoshana's telling their approach,
05:40 the story, what it's like,
05:41 while you see video of Jason planting
05:44 and then letting it grow and then harvesting
05:47 and all that stuff.
05:48 So you get to see the whole...
05:50 - Cycle.
05:52 - Basically the cycle of rice planting and harvesting
05:54 in this one show.
05:57 (emotional music)
06:04 - [Shoshana] So we are living in Thailand,
06:07 living in the mountains,
06:08 helping the Karen people
06:11 and in our village and in the villages surrounding us,
06:14 the people are mainly Buddhist and animists and worshiping
06:18 the trees and the plants and nature.
06:24 So this past year, actually two years,
06:27 we've gotten to work a lot more closely with the people
06:31 and building relationships with them.
06:34 And we've also had opportunities to work
06:37 in the rice patties.
06:38 And God's just been showing me some object lessons
06:42 between the working the ground and winning souls for God.
06:49 It reminds me of the parable of the sower
06:50 and that we have to prepare the soil.
06:53 We have to work the soil.
06:54 If you plant in bad soil, nothing really comes of it.
06:57 You have to really prepare it, work it good.
07:01 And it takes a lot of time.
07:02 And for us, it takes a lot of prayer for these people.
07:07 I have to carefully plant when it's time.
07:09 You have to make sure you have good seed.
07:12 You have to know what plants need to be planted.
07:16 And then the watering.
07:18 And you have to really pay attention to the plant.
07:21 The plant's needs, whether it can handle a lot of water,
07:25 whether a little water, you don't want to drown it.
07:27 But if it uses a lot of water and soaks it up,
07:29 you need to be ready to give it plenty of water.
07:34 And at the same time,
07:35 we're not the ones causing the plants to grow.
07:39 We're working with God, we're co-laborers with him.
07:42 You also have to watch for the harvest.
07:45 You can't try to harvest too early.
07:47 Otherwise it's ruined.
07:49 And you can't be too late,
07:50 otherwise you've missed the opportunity
07:53 and you have to watch for the conditions for the plants.
07:57 If it's sunny and warm, they grow better and faster.
08:00 If it's really cold or wet, that slows down the process,
08:05 so you have to be really watchful.
08:07 You have to get to know the people that you're working with.
08:10 You have to be praying for them a lot.
08:14 - Well, that's neat to see the process.
08:16 - [John] Yeah.
08:17 - And thinking about the spiritual applications.
08:20 - Yeah. And it's beautiful,
08:21 the interrelationship between the farming
08:23 and the spiritual.
08:25 - Right.
08:26 - Spiritual seed planting and harvesting and everything,
08:28 bringing somebody to Christ.
08:29 - Yeah. The spiritual application has just,
08:31 it's neat to think about all the different steps.
08:34 - [John] Right.
08:36 - And how it applies spiritually.
08:37 - Yeah. Now she's got a story about how this kind of works.
08:41 - Okay.
08:43 - It's been a really amazing last two years, the head woman,
08:48 when we first moved up here, you have to remember
08:50 she's from a Buddhist animist background.
08:53 She didn't want to have anything to do with God.
08:56 And we were really good friends, but we had to...
09:02 We had to keep religion quiet and just live life.
09:08 And so we helped her and worked with her a lot.
09:10 And after about three years, she started to really open up.
09:14 She was seeing a difference.
09:17 And the major change was when my sister came
09:21 and was drawing a Bible verse on the wall
09:25 at our mother's house, as in Psalms, 103,
09:29 that the Lord is gracious and plenteous in mercy,
09:34 slow to anger.
09:36 And I told my sister,
09:37 we should have the head woman come and check the Thai script
09:40 because we don't know the Thai script, but she knows it.
09:43 So she came to compare it for us
09:46 and to correct any mistakes and stuff.
09:48 And when she read that verse,
09:50 it just really struck her.
09:52 The Lord, he's slow to anger?
09:55 Plenteous in mercy, who is this God?
09:58 And so she asked our family, our sisters and our mom,
10:02 is there any verses, other verses I need to read?
10:05 And so they had some other verses for her to read
10:09 and she had read the whole chapter, Psalms 103.
10:12 And then she went home
10:14 and we didn't hear much anything else.
10:16 She did take a Bible with her
10:18 and it was just quiet for awhile.
10:22 And then one day she came up to Jason and I,
10:25 and started asking us questions about, you know,
10:29 becoming a Christian.
10:30 So we talked with her a little bit
10:32 and then that was it for awhile.
10:35 And then she announced that she wanted to be a Christian.
10:38 And we were really excited because we hadn't been able
10:42 to really share much with her.
10:43 It was just a lot of praying
10:45 and living with her and helping her.
10:49 So a little while later,
10:51 she got baptized and because we don't speak her
10:57 Karen language,
10:58 it was very hard to share with her biblical things.
11:03 And so we've spent a lot of time praying for her,
11:06 asking God to show her and reveal stuff to her
11:09 as she reads the Bible.
11:12 And he has revealed a lot to her.
11:14 She has changed so much and grown so much.
11:17 We know it's not us
11:18 because we can't speak that much with her.
11:21 And so now she's been,
11:26 she's working with us more
11:28 and she's working at our office foundation,
11:32 helping us with our visas and work permits.
11:34 Making it easier and more possible for us to be here.
11:38 And she now knows why we're here.
11:39 And she wants to help us.
11:41 She knows we're not here just to help people.
11:44 We're not humanitarians in that sense.
11:46 We're here to show people who God is,
11:49 to share the gospel with people.
11:49 And she is so excited.
11:51 She wants to help us as much as she can.
11:54 - That's a God thing.
11:55 That is such an amazing story because it's just like,
11:58 she'd watch them.
12:00 She'd seen. And then when she read it, it made sense.
12:05 It was like, wait, I need to know more about this.
12:09 - [John] Yeah, right.
12:10 And this is the head woman of the village.
12:12 - [Woman] Yeah.
12:13 - And so she had a lot of influence.
12:14 - Right.
12:15 - And it took her some time
12:16 to learn and to grow and make that decision.
12:19 But when she did, she's never looked back.
12:21 - Right. Right.
12:22 And she's been persecuted.
12:24 - [John] Yes, she has.
12:25 - She's no longer the head woman of the village.
12:26 - [John] Right.
12:28 - She has been almost ostracized from there.
12:32 Someone else's in charge in the village now, but...
12:35 - [John] That's right.
12:37 - She doesn't, you know, she's not looking at that.
12:38 She's looking at Christ.
12:39 - Right. Yeah.
12:40 - So, and living her life to help others.
12:42 It's just beautiful.
12:44 - [John] It is. It's very beautiful.
12:45 In fact, during this COVID season, she loves taking rice
12:48 and different essential supplies to neighbors in the area
12:53 that are really suffering.
12:54 - Right.
12:55 - Because many of them have lost their jobs.
12:56 They can't go out and work.
12:58 They can hardly get out of their house
13:00 and it's very restricted.
13:02 And so she was able to bring some life supplies to them
13:05 and I've got tons of pictures of her
13:07 just handing out to people.
13:09 And she loves doing that.
13:11 - That's really neat.
13:12 That's really neat.
13:13 I'm so thankful that our donors have been giving
13:15 to the COVID relief fund.
13:17 - [John] Yes.
13:18 - That's enabled us to say, yeah, here's some money.
13:20 Please help as many as you can.
13:23 - Yep. That's right. Every month.
13:24 - So that's been a blessing.
13:26 - That's a huge blessing.
13:28 I don't know how many lives it's actually saved
13:29 from starvation, but there's quite a few.
13:33 - Yeah. Yeah.
13:34 - [John] So that's cool.
13:35 So the next video we have is the story of grandpa Jacob.
13:39 - Okay.
13:46 - [Shoshana] We'll call him grandpa Jacob.
13:48 He lived in another village.
13:50 He had liver cancer and we found out about him
13:56 about the time he was supposed to die.
13:59 The doctors had given him about eight months
14:01 and it was about...
14:02 His eight months were about up.
14:04 And there wasn't really anything we could do for him
14:07 at that point because he was on his death bed,
14:10 but we just tried to make his life
14:13 a little bit more comfortable and easier
14:15 and just visited him.
14:17 He loved being able to see our two or one kid at the time
14:21 just to visit with them and take them some bread
14:26 and stuff that our mom would bake.
14:28 And they loved it so much.
14:30 And after a while of visiting, I told Jason,
14:33 you should see if he wants to listen to the Bible.
14:36 We have audio Bibles.
14:38 So he asked him if he wanted to listen to stories.
14:41 And he said, sure, he doesn't have anything else to do.
14:43 And his radio doesn't work anymore.
14:45 So we gave him an audio Bible
14:47 and he started listening to it.
14:49 And after about a month,
14:51 he announced us that he wanted to worship God
14:55 and we were really excited.
14:57 And so we kept going every week
15:00 and having worship with them and singing.
15:02 And we would take a whole bunch of instruments
15:05 and he loved the violin.
15:07 He just thought that sounded so pretty.
15:10 And we would just sing for a long time.
15:13 And after they decided to worship God,
15:18 it was maybe a month after that.
15:20 Jason and I, we were here in our village
15:22 doing whatever we were doing that day.
15:25 And these guys came in, they said, hey, we have a cow.
15:29 This cow is from the other village.
15:31 Would you be able to haul it back to the village for us?
15:34 And I said, a cow?
15:35 You want us to be cow haulers today?
15:38 I said, okay, God, if that's what you want us to do.
15:41 We had our brother, Travis, his truck, his big truck here.
15:44 Because it was rainy season.
15:47 And so they got that cow up into that truck.
15:50 And on the way out the door, I was like,
15:53 I should probably take our bag that has our passports
15:55 and stuff in it.
15:57 Not that we'll need it, but maybe.
15:59 And it happened to have two more audio Bibles in it.
16:02 And so we went to the village
16:04 and they were trying to figure out
16:06 where to let the cow out at.
16:08 Because you need to have backup to a bank
16:10 to get the cow out.
16:11 The best place happened to be
16:13 in front of grandpa Jacob's house.
16:15 So we drove all the way back to grandpa Jacob's house
16:18 and backed up.
16:20 And they were getting the cow out and his wife,
16:24 grandma Rachel,
16:25 she came out to see what we were doing
16:26 because we don't normally come in the middle of the week.
16:29 I'm like, oh, this cow happened to be in our village.
16:32 And they needed somebody to bring it back.
16:35 So we're bringing the cow back like, oh, okay,
16:36 well are you guys going to come in and visit
16:39 while you're here?
16:40 And we say, yeah, we have a few minutes.
16:41 We can come visit.
16:42 So we went in and saw grandpa Jacob,
16:45 and the first thing, oh, I'm so glad you're here.
16:48 The audio Bible has stopped charging.
16:50 We can't listen to any more.
16:52 And so Jason said,
16:54 well we didn't bring any more audio Bibles.
16:56 I said, yeah, I did.
16:57 I grabbed the bag and it actually has two in it.
17:01 And so I went out and got him another audio Bible
17:04 so they could continue to listening.
17:05 And then he asked if he could,
17:07 if he could have another one,
17:08 because there's other people in his village
17:10 that need to know about God.
17:12 And so I think during the time of helping grandpa Jacob,
17:16 we gave out about five audio Bibles to that village.
17:20 And after he passed away, we went to visit them.
17:27 We were one of the first ones they told
17:29 that he passed away.
17:31 And so we got a truckload of people from our village
17:32 and went over to the funeral and grandma Rachel,
17:36 she came out checked, do you guys have another audio Bible?
17:39 Somebody came and took grandpa's audio Bible
17:42 because as soon as grandpa dies,
17:44 all his possessions are just up for grabs.
17:47 And so somebody else came and took his audio Bible.
17:51 And so we had another one.
17:53 I had taken some in case we needed them.
17:55 And so she...
17:57 Jason got it turned on for her and she sat down
17:59 and she just listened to that for like a half hour straight.
18:02 She just sat down and listened to it.
18:04 I had never seen anybody so hungry and thirsty
18:07 to hear the word of God that she was.
18:10 And her children asked her,
18:13 now that grandpa has passed away,
18:16 are you going to return to worshiping the spirits?
18:19 And then she said, oh no, not what it...
18:21 Since what I've learned about God, I'm...
18:24 There's no going back.
18:25 I'm going to follow God the rest of my life.
18:29 And that was so encouraging to hear that,
18:31 that somebody else wants to follow after God.
18:44 - Isn't that beautiful.
18:45 - That is really neat.
18:46 - Yeah. Those audio Bibles are really powerful,
18:49 especially where people can't read.
18:52 Even if they can read, they read very slowly
18:56 and the Bible itself, you know,
18:58 doesn't do well in such moist conditions and stuff.
19:02 - Yeah.
19:04 - And so an audio Bible, they can listen,
19:05 it's recharged by the sun and there's plenty of sun there
19:09 except during rainy season.
19:11 - Yeah.
19:12 - But they can just listen.
19:13 And the cool thing about when they're listening
19:16 is that everybody in the house hears it too.
19:19 - Right. And their houses have bamboo walls, most of them.
19:22 So then people outside the house can hear as well, so...
19:24 - Yeah. This is true. It's beautiful.
19:28 - Yeah, it's really neat
19:29 that they were able to bring that joy to the grandpa
19:32 before he passed away.
19:34 And he had time to learn about God
19:37 and choose to give his heart to God.
19:40 - So awesome. Yeah.
19:41 - [Woman] That's really neat. Yeah.
19:43 - Yeah.
19:44 - And that the grandma was like, yeah, it's gone.
19:46 Can you give me another one?
19:47 - [John] Yeah. I want another one.
19:48 - It was just... Yeah.
19:49 - [John] She was missing it.
19:50 - Yeah. What a blessing, you know,
19:51 for her in her time of sorrow.
19:52 - [John] Yeah.
19:53 - And loneliness.
19:55 - Yeah. And it's such an amazing concept
19:56 to think that people,
19:58 there are people in the world that don't know
20:00 that God exists, don't know who he is.
20:03 And so they're led by fear all their life.
20:07 Is the tree spirit going to hurt me,
20:10 is the ground spirit going to hurt me.
20:12 - If you don't do whatever, then...
20:16 - [John] Certain rituals or behave right.
20:17 - I will be attacked by whatever spirit.
20:19 - [John] Exactly. Yeah.
20:20 And so they live their life in fear.
20:23 And when Christ comes in and they hear about
20:26 the strongest spirit in the universe is kind and loving.
20:32 That's like, well, yeah.
20:35 That's life-changing, yeah.
20:36 - Yeah. That's for sure.
20:38 That's for sure.
20:40 Well we've got another story of another grandpa.
20:42 - [John] Awesome. Okay.
20:43 - Another grandpa that we got to help,
20:47 we also found out about him when he was on his death bed.
20:52 He was...
20:54 The doctors had given him about a week to live
20:56 and sent him home to die.
20:59 And he had a really bad headache.
21:01 I've never seen anything so bad. He was miserable.
21:03 He couldn't do anything except toss and turn
21:05 and moan and groan.
21:08 So we went to visit him to see if we could help
21:10 with his headache.
21:12 And that's when we found out he had also had cancer
21:14 and the doctors had done chemotherapy,
21:17 but there was nothing else they could do for him
21:20 and the family wanted to know
21:21 if we could help with his headache.
21:23 But there wasn't much we could do
21:25 because he was so far gone.
21:28 But as we were praying, Jason felt impressed
21:31 that we should do a charcoal bath, a neutral charcoal bath.
21:34 And so we took our bathtub,
21:37 took it over to his village
21:39 and they had to pull some of the sides off of their house
21:42 to get the bath tub in and to haul the water and stuff.
21:48 And they did the neutral charcoal bath for about three days.
21:51 And his headache did go away
21:53 and he was doing a little bit better,
21:55 but then his blood pressure went up
21:56 and we didn't feel comfortable
21:59 doing the charcoal bath anymore.
22:00 So we just kept going and visiting
22:02 and seeing if there was anything else we could do
22:03 to make him comfortable.
22:06 And then I again told Jason, maybe he should ask him
22:10 if grandpa wanted to listen to some stories.
22:16 And so he went and asked him
22:17 if he wanted listen to some stories.
22:19 He said, sure.
22:20 So we gave him an audio Bible
22:22 and he listened to it for one night.
22:25 When we went back the next day, he had gotten a lot weaker,
22:28 so he couldn't talk anymore,
22:30 but his whole countenance had changed.
22:33 And he had been a murderer. He had killed people.
22:36 He had spent time in jail.
22:38 You could tell he wasn't a nice person to be around.
22:40 His wife. She's just really hard.
22:45 And you can't really communicate with her
22:49 because she has a wall up.
22:52 And so he couldn't talk anymore to share with us what,
22:57 you know, if there was anything he wanted to share with us.
22:59 And we didn't know,
23:00 but just seeing the change in his countenance,
23:03 we knew that something had happened
23:05 and that God was working in his life.
23:09 I was just imagining that he had listened
23:12 to Jesus on the cross with the thieves on the cross.
23:18 And it was realizing that, you know,
23:21 for him that that could have been him,
23:23 one of the thieves on the cross.
23:24 And he was the murderer.
23:26 And just being up there with Jesus
23:28 and just thinking of the life change
23:30 that could have been for him,
23:32 that God is willing to forgive anyone.
23:34 No matter the circumstance,
23:35 no matter whether they're about to die,
23:38 God is willing to forgive them at any point.
23:42 And so I also believe that we'll see him in heaven too.
23:48 He lasted about another week before he passed away.
23:51 And we got to go back and visit his wife just recently.
23:58 We took her a bag of oranges because we wanted to keep up
24:02 our friendship with her.
24:04 And when she saw us, Jason gave her the bag of oranges.
24:08 And she said, is that for me?
24:10 And I'm like, yeah, grandma,
24:12 we brought you a bag of oranges.
24:14 All of them?
24:15 Well, yeah grandma, all of them are for you.
24:18 You're giving them to me? All of them?
24:21 Like yeah, grammy, you like oranges, don't you?
24:23 She was like, well, yeah. Huh.
24:26 Like, okay, this is a little bit strange.
24:29 And so, as we were leaving,
24:31 she actually thanked Jason for giving her the oranges.
24:35 But I was so taken back by that.
24:37 Normally people are used to getting stuff
24:39 and being offered stuff, but she was...
24:41 She wasn't used to it.
24:43 I don't think anybody's ever done anything kind for her.
24:47 So we've worked with a lot of people in these mountains,
24:51 serving them, helping with medical needs,
24:53 taking food to them, doing massages,
24:55 helping fix their tools, all kinds of different things,
24:59 building relationships with them.
25:02 And we just continue to pray for them.
25:04 There's a handful of other people,
25:06 some grandpas and some of their families
25:09 that they're just on the verge of,
25:12 they see something different.
25:14 We've shared with them about more of who God is.
25:17 And they're just on the verge.
25:19 They're really wanting to know more,
25:22 but we're still waiting and praying
25:25 cause we don't want to push them.
25:27 And it's almost time for the harvest,
25:28 but we have to be patient.
25:30 The fruit has to be just right.
25:32 And so we're really excited to see
25:34 what God will continue to do.
25:36 The time is short.
25:38 And there's not many more days before Jesus comes back
25:41 and there's so many people hungry and thirsty for more.
25:44 They don't know what they're hungering and thirsting for,
25:47 but they need to know who God is.
25:50 And so I just want to encourage people
25:52 that the stuff that we live for our daily lives,
25:58 it's so easy to get comfortable.
26:00 But we need to put that aside.
26:03 We need to take up our cross and follow Jesus.
26:06 We need to get out and share the gospel
26:10 because nobody knows who God is.
26:13 They think it's just say the prayer and you're good to go,
26:16 but no, God wants to change us.
26:17 He doesn't want to leave us in our sin.
26:19 He wants to help us.
26:21 And there's so many people who need help.
26:23 They need to be lifted up. They need help.
26:28 And if nobody goes, they're not going to get the help.
26:32 They're never going to feel the freedom from sin
26:35 and the joy of living for God.
26:38 (emotional music)
27:01 - You know, it reminds me of that verse that says,
27:03 they that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
27:06 - [Woman] Right.
27:08 And you know it with everything that's going on
27:09 in the world today,
27:11 it's very clear that the world itself is gonna...
27:13 Is just about ready for harvest.
27:16 And so if we're going to do anything
27:18 to increase heaven's population, we've got to do it quick.
27:24 - Right. The time is now.
27:26 - You know, the time is now to make a difference.
27:28 To make an effort, to do everything...
27:31 To put everything that we have into the work
27:33 and pray God blesses it.
27:34 Yeah.
27:37 - Thank you so much for joining us today.
27:38 And please pray for Jason and Shoshana and their children.
