00:01 Jesus met people at their points of need...
00:03 Stay tuned to meet a young man that's following 00:06 after Christ and meeting the needs of 00:08 inner city children and youth... 00:09 My name is Yvonne Lewis and you're watching 00:12 Urban Report... 00:34 Hello and welcome to Urban Report... 00:37 My guest today is Keith Hackle... 00:39 Outreach Coordinator for Harbor of Hope Ministry 00:42 in Benton Harbor, Michigan... welcome Keith... 00:45 Hey, thanks for having me today, how are you? 00:48 Great... praise the Lord, thank you for being here 00:51 You're doing well? I'm doing wonderful... 00:53 Oh, that's great... that's great... 00:54 You know, I had the opportunity to meet and talk with you 00:58 at this past ASI... we did a brief interview then, 01:01 and I wanted to bring you back to really expand some more 01:06 about Harbor of Hope Ministries, so, let's talk a little bit 01:10 about you and then, let's talk about the ministry 01:13 that you're doing... 01:15 Where did you grow up Keith? I grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio, 01:19 inner city and we bounced around... 01:22 I went to probably 7 different schools 01:25 from Kindergarten to High School single-parent household 01:31 I knew my dad but he really wasn't around 01:34 so, Cincinnati is where I was brought up 01:36 and just got the blessing a year-and-a-half ago 01:39 of actually moving outside of Cincinnati for the first time 01:43 to Michigan... Yes... 01:45 so it's been different... Yeah... 01:47 it's been nice... Now, why did you move around 01:49 7 times... why were you moving so much? 01:51 My mother was a... like I said... a single parent 01:55 and sometimes we were able to stay with a relative 01:59 or sometimes finances were okay 02:02 for us to be in a better neighborhood 02:04 we just depending on her finances... 02:06 her personal situation that dictated 02:08 where we would be at a certain point in my life. 02:11 Wow... so was that hard on you 02:13 or did you just kind of roll with it? 02:15 It was very difficult I was able to play sports, 02:20 so that helped me to kind of overlook 02:24 those situations and I've always been able 02:26 to kind of mingle with individuals and be friendly 02:30 so that allowed me to make friends 02:31 regardless of where we were 02:33 but at the same time, it did draw me closer 02:36 to my mother... and then I had two younger sisters 02:39 we became more close-knit as a result of having 02:42 only each other every time that we moved 02:44 to a different location... 02:45 Yes... yes that would be difficult because 02:50 you have to make new friends you have to adjust to 02:53 a whole new environment 02:55 sometimes you're not living in your own space... 02:57 so that had to be... that had to be challenging 03:00 for you but also I can see how it could draw you 03:03 closer together... did you grow up in a Christian 03:06 home... was your mom a Christian... or 03:07 Um... my mother... there were talks of Christ 03:13 we went to Church twice a year... 03:15 so Easter and Christmas those were the times 03:18 that we would go to Church so it wasn't a Christian home 03:21 in the sense that every single day you're starting 03:24 with a word from God and every day you're ending 03:27 with a word from God 03:28 we knew to pray and we knew to do certain things 03:32 but it wasn't that structure... 03:34 Christian structure that individuals need 03:37 as they are being brought up, 03:38 Yes, yes... it was kind of an occasional thing 03:42 not a regular routine kind of... integrating God into 03:46 your-daily-routine type of situation 03:48 Correct... So, at what point 03:50 did you come to know the Lord for yourself? 03:52 I would say I was about 17-years-old 03:57 What happened? Well, I had gone through a lot 04:01 like I said, my dad wasn't there 04:04 so I began to look to the streets 04:06 for examples of how to be a man, the things to do... 04:11 and a lot of those things as you know 04:14 were bad examples... so I got myself 04:16 in a lot of trouble and I had a friend though 04:20 that went to Church funny... even though we were 04:23 getting into a lot of trouble his mother was a Pastor 04:27 and he went to Church on a regular basis 04:29 so he invited me one day... and it was there 04:31 sitting in the pews the Pastor was doing a sermon 04:34 about giving your life to Christ 04:35 and how you don't have to 04:37 keep going through the same cycles 04:39 over and over again... that you see your relatives 04:41 and family members go through 04:43 and it was at that time that I walked up 04:45 for the appeal and at that time... 04:48 I began my walk with Jesus. 04:50 Wow... you know... I want to talk about that 04:53 for a minute Keith because this is so important 04:56 for our viewers to know... 04:57 number one... number one is that you can get caught up 05:02 out there... and that there are so many 05:05 distractions for you as a young person 05:08 there are so many... and an older person... I mean... 05:10 there are so many distractions out there because 05:12 Satan just has all of these other things 05:15 for you to get into... Correct... 05:18 so, there are so many distractions out there 05:20 but you don't have to stay in that... 05:23 That's true... you have alternatives, 05:26 there are options... God has something better for you 05:29 and so... you know that God called you 05:32 from that life that you had gotten tired of 05:36 and God placed you in a situation 05:38 where you could hear about Him... 05:40 and that's what you're doing with Harbor of Hope 05:44 that's what it seems to me you're doing... 05:47 you took your... and we're going to talk about 05:50 Harbor of Hope of course, but you took... your whole... 05:53 the trajectory of your life... 05:55 the path that you were going down 05:57 and God's been able to turn that around and now 06:01 you can use that to help others that are going through 06:04 that same kind of thing... 06:05 God is so... to me... and you know 06:08 I mean... He's so awesome... 06:10 He's awesome... He's awesome... yes He is... 06:12 and I think if people really knew 06:14 who He was and how he was... 06:16 they would want to try Him out You're right... 06:19 just try it... because what you're doing 06:21 is not making you happy, right, 06:23 I mean, were you happy at 17, were you happy? 06:26 I wasn't happy and I think what Satan does 06:29 is he does an excellent job of making you seem like 06:32 while you're in it... you're happy... 06:34 a lot of times, while you're out in the streets 06:36 while you're doing all the negativity... it seems like... 06:38 you're having fun... but it was those times... 06:40 when I was alone... actually... when no one else was around, 06:44 that God would speak to me and it's like, 06:47 "Dude, you're not happy with what you're doing... 06:49 you're not receiving the joy 06:51 that you could be receiving right now... " 06:53 and I thank Him also, because He put individuals 06:56 in my life that encouraged me to be better 06:59 Hmmm... while there were individuals 07:01 who told me... that by 25... 07:03 I would be in one of two places... 07:04 either dead or in jail... there were also 07:06 individuals in my life, through sports 07:08 and things like that they were like... 07:09 "Hey, I want to put you in a position 07:11 where you're going to be the leader of this team... " 07:13 they were saying to me... "You have talent... 07:16 you have an ability... you can stop leading 07:19 individuals to the wrong way 07:21 use those talents 07:22 and lead them to do something positive... " 07:24 and that's what it was all about... 07:26 and I think that's our call also as we're in the Community, 07:29 we're interacting with individuals 07:31 is to give them that encouragement 07:32 to let them know that God has something better 07:36 for them... and that's what it's about... 07:39 Yes... yes... there is something better 07:42 you don't have to be stuck in that whole negative 07:45 lifestyle... you can have an abundant life... 07:48 no matter how much money you have or don't have 07:51 it's not about the money so much 07:52 as it is about the mind-set, you know... 07:56 I tell people that money can come... 08:00 you follow your passion, God can bless you, 08:03 you give to the Lord's causes, 08:06 and money can come so it's not about money, 08:09 it's about your mind-set... 08:10 and God wants to give you a different mind... 08:13 "Let this mind be in you that is in Christ Jesus... " 08:16 so, He wants to change the way you're going 08:19 and the way you're thinking and put you 08:23 onto another path... and, you know, 08:25 another thing that you said, Keith, 08:28 to me that was so significant was... you talked about 08:31 how, there were some people that really told you 08:36 they were only two things... 08:37 two ways you're going to end up 08:38 either in prison or in jail... 08:40 I mean... in prison or dead... 08:41 but then... there were others that encouraged you 08:45 and told you that there was greatness in you 08:47 there were things that you could do 08:50 that could change your circumstances 08:51 if you would speak a little bit about that 08:54 and tell us how Harbor of Hope is doing now. 08:58 Not a problem, I think that's vitally important 09:01 in everyone's life... if you look at where we're at 09:05 Harbor of Hope... we're operating in the 09:07 inner city of Benton Harbor, and in that environment 09:11 we have a lot of individuals that aren't trying 09:14 to do their homework... 09:15 they go to class everyday 09:16 and they're going to asleep... they're not picking up their 09:18 books and reading anything, 09:20 they're not trying to do the Math assignments 09:23 and I believe that a reason for that... 09:25 a big reason contributing to that is because 09:27 they've been told... for the majority of their lives 09:30 if not all of their life, that they "Can't" 09:33 individuals are telling them "you can't do this, 09:35 you can't do that... " whether it's their parents 09:37 when they come home or 09:38 their friend while they are outside playing 09:39 all they keep hearing is, 09:41 "You can't... you can't... you can't... " 09:42 and over time what happens... 09:45 is that individuals begin to believe that, 09:47 "I can't... I can't... I can't" God blessed me with individuals 09:51 that came and even when I said, "I can't" they were saying 09:55 "You can... " Yes... 09:56 and they were pushing me to do what I didn't even believe 10:00 that I could do... they were pushing me and 10:03 daring me to even dream... and now as we go out 10:06 we tell these kids whether they're in the 5th Grade 10:10 or whether they are in High School... 10:11 we're challenging them to dream big... 10:14 even if it doesn't make sense, because that's essentially 10:17 what God has called us to do, He has called us 10:19 to trust in him... Yes... 10:21 He's called us to build a relationship with Him 10:23 and He has called us to believe that even in those times 10:26 where it doesn't look like it's possible... 10:28 as long as we trust in Him, and allow Him to use us 10:31 in the way that He wants to use us... 10:32 that we can do anything... and that's essentially 10:35 what Harbor of Hope is doing we're out here... 10:38 we're encouraging everyone in the Community 10:41 that they can overcome their circumstance... 10:44 Yes... this is so... this is just so important 10:47 and this is so much of what Dare to Dream is about 10:50 I mean... just the name Dare to Dream... 10:53 this is what it's about... knowing that 10:55 you can do anything by the grace of God 10:58 and God will help you to achieve those goals 11:01 as long as those goals are in compliance 11:03 with His will for you... You're right... 11:06 You're right... 11:07 Tell us... 11:09 what is Harbor of Hope really... 11:13 I mean... tell us about the ministry... 11:15 What is Harbor of Hope? 11:16 Harbor of Hope... it is just that... 11:20 it's a harbor of hope... again, we're in Benton Harbor 11:23 we're in a city where jobs are gone... 11:26 we're in a city where pregnancy for young girls 11:30 is through the roof... 11:31 we're in a city where young men 11:33 are going to jail at an early age 11:35 and individuals are dropping out of School 11:38 and what's happening is that... 11:39 there's this environment of individuals who 11:41 don't believe that they can do anything... 11:44 Hmmm... so, as a result... 11:46 they're looking for something, they're looking for hope 11:50 and they can come to Harbor of Hope 11:52 and they receive the word from God 11:54 and they receive messages that say, 11:56 "Listen, God loves you... you were created 11:58 with a purpose... God wants you to do something 12:02 in your sphere of influence and even in the world... " 12:06 and if you look 12:08 at what we've been experiencing 12:10 at Harbor of Hope and helping these people to... 12:13 these individuals to see this... and to believe this 12:16 and then to carry it out in their lives... 12:18 what's happening is that... gradually families are being 12:22 affected by this and then... 12:23 by the families... the neighbors are being affected 12:26 Yes... and the classmates are being 12:28 affected... and it becomes contagious 12:30 Yes... if you feed into individuals 12:32 that they're not going to be anything 12:33 that becomes contagious... but if you feed the hope 12:36 into the individuals, and just let them know that 12:38 that Jesus loves you... and so do I... 12:40 I'm going to walk with you through this thing... 12:42 we've been seeing... amazing growth... 12:45 Praise the Lord... tell us about some specific 12:49 instances where children or young people's lives 12:52 have been changed as a result 12:54 of the intervention of Harbor of Hope... 12:57 Awesome... there are a lot of stories 13:00 but one... that I would like to touch on is... 13:04 a young lady... and she has a... 13:06 there are actually two of them, 13:08 and they attend the Church on a regular basis... 13:11 they come... and they receive the Word 13:14 we sit down and we eat meals together 13:17 we do Bible Studies... we play games... 13:19 there are a lot of things that go on... 13:21 while they're there at Harbor of Hope... 13:24 but what I found with her mother coming forward 13:28 and requesting baptism, 13:29 we started doing the Bible Studies... 13:31 and when I was in the home one day... 13:33 mommy cooked dinner and the kids came down 13:36 they looked into the kitchen and they're like, 13:38 "Mom, what's for dinner?" they looked in the oven 13:40 and they come in the room... 13:42 where we're doing the Bible Study and they said... 13:44 "Mom, is this something I can eat?" 13:45 and it amazed me because 13:49 you think sometimes that you're telling these kids 13:52 these stories... and it's going in one ear and out the other... 13:54 but already what they've done is 13:57 they've kind of "dared to be a Daniel... " 14:00 I'd like to say... they're looking at the diet 14:02 and they're looking at what God has said 14:04 that He doesn't want us putting in our body, 14:06 and they're saying... even in this environment 14:08 where unclean foods are running rampant... 14:15 I mean... everybody eats unclean foods in these environments... 14:18 they're saying... even in this environment 14:20 I'm willing to say, "No" to this thing 14:22 and what has happened is mom has begun to adjust 14:26 the menu that she puts together for her kids... 14:29 so now, she's not putting those foods before her kids 14:32 and she's recognizing that that if they're going to be 14:36 involved in this... and they're going to feel this 14:39 way about this thing, then she too believes that 14:42 she needs to start understanding those things... 14:44 so it becomes more than just activities on the Sabbath 14:48 and it becomes more than just leaving home... 14:51 it's becoming more... 14:52 "I'm leaving home and I'm coming back, 14:54 I'm going to give to you everything that I've received 14:58 and that's that Jesus wants us 14:59 to have a better life than what we've had... " 15:01 Oh, that's great... that's great... 15:05 so, Harbor of Hope is it a Church... 15:08 is it a Program, what is Harbor of Hope? 15:10 Harbor of Hope is definitely a Church 15:13 we get together on Sabbath morning... 15:15 we pick the kids up... those that don't have rides 15:19 and their parents... we bring them in... 15:20 have lunch... have breakfast in the morning 15:22 then we have Divine Worship Service 15:24 and then we have Sabbath School, and then we have lunch... 15:28 but along with that... 15:30 the things that we do on Sabbath 15:32 we also have other activities that the kids can get 15:35 involved in... we have a mentoring program 15:37 we have Thursday night basketball program, 15:40 we have activities where we go out to the Community 15:42 and we take the Church to the Community, 15:44 there are a lot of things that are going on 15:47 in Harbor of Hope... Wow... that's incredible 15:50 what is the population that it serves... 15:53 what are the ages that you serve... 15:56 well, it depends on the 15:59 different facets... for the regular church 16:01 anybody is invited anybody can come 16:03 and if you need a ride, 16:04 we'll come and get you, where you're at... 16:07 then there are programs, each Sabbath School 16:10 is branched off... by the age group 16:12 the activity... when we go to the Community, 16:16 and take the Church to the Community 16:18 every Friday and Sabbath, that is for the younger group 16:21 ranging from 3 to 12... 16:24 the mentoring group is from 13-17... 16:27 Basketball on Thursday nights is for anyone 16:31 ages 11 through... we have individuals that are 25 16:34 and older that come out and play basketball... 16:37 so there's a range of activities and individuals 16:40 that we look to reach... through this ministry... 16:42 Wow, that is so incredible... because, again, it meets people 16:48 at their points of need... you are feeding them... 16:50 you feed them breakfast? Yes... 16:52 so you give them the physical food 16:54 you give them the spiritual food then you hit them back some 16:58 physical food... and you're teaching them 17:01 how to eat... because one of the things 17:04 that you mentioned about that family... 17:07 where the children were telling the mom... 17:10 how they can't eat this... and they can't eat that... 17:13 and the mom finds out what's good to cook 17:15 so it does kind of spread out over the family, 17:20 the neighborhood, the Community... 17:22 that's exactly... what we should be doing... 17:25 it's practical Godliness, it's living out... the Word... 17:30 Yes... and that is incredible... 17:32 so, when a child gets picked up 17:36 do the parents go as well, 17:38 there's a bus or something isn't there that picks up the... 17:42 Correct... there's a bus that picks them up... 17:43 we would love for the parents to come but unfortunately 17:46 all parents don't attend, that's where my focus is 17:52 as the Outreach Coordinator, I do visitation 17:55 and I go into the homes and what we've found is that 17:59 if you can reach someone, by just treating them 18:02 as an individual... treating them as an individual 18:05 talking to them... seeing what's on their mind 18:08 understanding their problems, praying with them, 18:10 and then coming back and asking about 18:12 those prayers that you prayed about... 18:14 how's God been answering, and praising God every time 18:17 they give you feedback... you're just building 18:19 a relationship with them, then gradually 18:22 what happens is that the parents begin to come 18:24 we have many instances in which the kids started coming, 18:27 and they've seen how it's affecting their children, 18:31 and then the parents have come, so, it's a gradual 18:34 intentional thing... we're not accidently 18:37 building relationships with individuals... 18:38 but we're intentionally building relationships with them, 18:41 so that when they finally do come, 18:43 they feel comfortable and they understand 18:45 that the same love that we've showed them 18:47 before they got there, is going to be shown to them 18:49 when they get to the Church... 18:50 Wow, that, again... that's a wonderful thing... 18:55 because, that word "intentional" that word "intentional" 18:59 is so important... because this is not haphazard... 19:02 this is not random... this is part of a plan... 19:05 you build relationships, 19:06 why? because there's trust there... 19:09 if they can trust you... then, they can trust 19:13 your opinion on what's good, what's not... 19:16 and then... your opinion can lead them 19:19 to the ultimate opinion, which is the Word... 19:23 so, I mean, you know, because you're... 19:25 hopefully, everything that you're leading them to 19:28 is ultimately leading them to the Word of God 19:30 and that is... that's a critical thing... 19:33 Yes... it is... So, are you find that 19:36 people are sharing the Harbor of Hope Program 19:41 with others in their Community telling them about it 19:44 and then... bringing more children 19:47 in to the Program... is it growing? 19:50 Definitely... definitely... it's definitely growing 19:52 and we started out with one bus 19:55 and we had to go to two buses 19:57 and these are school buses that are picking kids up 20:01 and what happens... when a child likes something... 20:05 when anyone like something... you end up telling 20:07 people about it... Yes... 20:09 and then when you communicate it with that passion 20:12 and that vigor... what happens is that 20:14 individuals want to experience it themselves... 20:16 Yes... that's what happens 20:18 with us being intentional about our relationships 20:21 that we're building with the kids and the parents 20:23 individuals are saying, "Yes, this is something good, 20:26 this is something real, this is something different... 20:27 that we've never experienced before... 20:29 Exactly... this is what makes Harbor of Hope different... 20:34 Yes... because it's not just a Church, 20:36 that's open every Saturday, Hmmm... hmmm... 20:39 this Church is open... how many days of the week 20:42 do you do your various programs? 20:45 We have a Thursday, a Friday, 20:49 Sabbath of course, 20:51 and then... we have a Sunday... and then there's visitation 20:54 even throughout the week... 20:55 where we're going into the homes 20:58 even if we're not visiting the parents, so to speak, 21:01 we're visiting the kids... and we're saying, 21:02 "Hey, how's your week going, do you need help with anything?" 21:04 and that's where the Mentoring Program comes in 21:06 that takes us outside of just the Sabbath 21:10 and the other Programs, and it's like, 21:12 "Hey, we're going to also help you with School... 21:14 we want you to be successful in School, 21:15 we want you to dream big, we want you to become 21:17 doctors and lawyers, and we're going to show you 21:19 how to do that... " Yes... yes... let's talk a 21:21 little bit about that Mentoring Program, 21:25 do you have... are there Church members 21:28 that are volunteering to do the mentoring 21:30 do you bring in people from the Community, 21:33 how does that work? It's a variety, 21:36 we have, of course, we're not that far from Andrews University 21:39 so, there are individuals... students from Andrews University 21:42 that come out and help, they help with the practical... 21:46 because a lot of these kids are in High School 21:49 and they want to go to College, 21:50 and it's like, "Okay, if you want to go 21:51 to College, this is what you need to do... " 21:52 we have Church members, we have individuals 21:55 from the Community that are all coming together, 21:57 as a team, as a family, and we'll say, 22:00 "Okay, if this is what you want to do... we're going to 22:02 walk along with you and we're going to help you achieve 22:05 your goals... " That is wonderful! 22:08 so how many different Programs 22:11 do you have running... with Harbor of Hope? 22:13 We have 22:16 5 Programs... at the moment... 5 Programs... yes... 22:19 Wow, would you name them for us? 22:21 That's the T and L... which is the Open Gym Basketball 22:25 on Thursday nights... Kids' Zone which is taking 22:29 the Church to the Community on Friday and Sabbaths... 22:32 then we have the regular Harbor of Hope Programs, 22:36 we have SOTC and there's another one that I'm missing 22:40 that I know is going to come to me 22:43 a little later... 22:44 That's okay... what's SOTC... what's that? 22:46 That's the mentoring... that's "Soldiers of the Cross" 22:49 Oh... nice... nice... nice... 22:52 Are you finding that children and young people 22:56 are open to getting baptized... 22:58 are they excited about it 23:00 are people doing it, 23:02 what's happening with the baptisms? 23:04 There are baptisms, it's a little difficult 23:07 because we're dealing with children... 23:09 but we've had... we always end... every service 23:13 with an appeal... there's an appeal 23:15 for individuals to come forward, even when we go 23:18 to the Community... or even talking about baptism, 23:21 we're letting kids know that there is a God 23:23 that loves you... that created you... 23:25 and He wants you to spend eternity with Him... 23:28 even in the SOTC Program there are children 23:31 that have been in the Church 23:32 and they've gone to Bible Studies 23:34 and they've been baptized so on every front 23:37 there's an opportunity and there are individuals 23:39 that have actually have been baptized 23:41 through interacting with the Program... 23:43 That's great... what is your vision 23:46 for Harbor of Hope... what do you hope to achieve 23:50 through this Ministry? 23:52 Excellent question... and like I said earlier, 23:55 I've been taught to dream big, I have a friend who says, 24:00 "We serve a big God... and as a result 24:02 we need to start asking Him for big things... " 24:05 so, what I look at in Harbor of Hope is 24:07 I say that... in the next couple of years 24:10 what we are going to do is get more acquainted 24:12 with the people in the Community, 24:13 what individuals are going to start to see 24:15 because there are kids that have grown up 24:17 through Harbor of Hope, that are now... 24:18 on their way to College and what they're going to see 24:22 is that through this Program, through this Church 24:25 and through the other activities, 24:26 the kids come here, they get motivated... 24:28 they get encouraged to be great... 24:30 and what's happening is... they're not just receiving 24:32 the encouragement, but they are actually 24:34 applying it... and then the parents 24:36 are also... seeing change 24:39 where they're making differences in their jobs 24:41 and making differences in the Schools 24:43 that they go to... there are a lot of things 24:45 that are happening right now, what I see is that 24:48 Harbor of Hope is going to be that "Beacon of Hope" 24:50 for Benton Harbor that is going to change 24:53 the trajectory of this City... 24:54 Wow... that would be so wonderful... 24:58 and I say "Would" but it "Will be" 25:01 because that is the plan... Yes... yes... 25:05 that is the Divine Plan... that Harbor of Hope 25:09 is actually a "Harbor of Light" 25:10 in a dark place... Yes... 25:12 and so... 25:14 that is a wonderful thing 25:16 What would you like our Viewers to know 25:21 about their circumstances, and the lives 25:25 that they are living now... what would you tell... 25:28 Viewers that are caught up in negative lifestyles... 25:30 like you were at 17... 25:32 what would you say to that Viewer? 25:34 To the Viewer... I would say... 25:36 "I've been where you are... a lot of times 25:39 you hear messages from individuals 25:40 and they're telling you what you should or shouldn't do 25:42 and these individuals haven't necessarily 25:44 walked in your shoes... you feel but I've been there... 25:47 and I fully understand where you're coming from 25:49 I understand how you feel, 25:50 I understand that... 25:51 in those nights when you are alone... 25:53 and you're in your room and you're not happy, 25:56 with what you're experiencing, 25:57 and what I want you to know is that there's a happiness 26:00 for you... and that happiness is found 26:02 in Jesus Christ... find someone in your Community 26:05 that's a model... a model of positive things 26:09 not negative things... and attach yourself to them... 26:11 attach yourself to the Bible and start reading the Word, 26:14 find in your Church... someone who cares about you 26:17 and loves you and that will help you 26:19 to understand those things in the Bible 26:21 that don't make sense... and gradually what will happen 26:24 through your prayers, through your efforts 26:26 is that God will start to mold you 26:28 and grow you into the young man 26:30 or young woman that you would like to be... 26:33 Wow... God has a plan for you... 26:35 and you need to experience it... 26:37 you need to see it and you'll be happy 26:40 when you do...
