00:01 Do you love good preaching and good music?
00:04 Then stay tuned to meet two folks 00:06 who, under the unction of the Holy Spirit, 00:08 can deliver it right. 00:10 My name is Yvonne Lewis 00:11 and you're watching Urban Report. 00:35 Hello and welcome to Urban Report. 00:37 My guests today are Dr. Dedrick Blue, 00:40 Dean of the School of Religion at Oakwood University, 00:43 and Che Chin King, Musical Evangelist. 00:46 Jason and I interviewed them 00:48 on the Set of Foundation of our Faith. 00:49 Take a look. 00:51 I have the privilege of sitting here 00:54 on the Foundation of our Faith Set 00:58 with none other than my friend Dr. Dedrick Blue, 01:02 he is the Dean of the School of Theology at Oakwood University 01:06 and a wonderful Speaker, welcome to Urban Report. 01:10 Well, thank you so very much, Yvonne, 01:11 it's a pleasure to be here. 01:12 Oh, I've been looking forward to having you here 01:15 for quite some time 01:16 and we... kind of called back and forth 01:19 and then... you were available 01:20 and I'm just so grateful, thank you. 01:22 Well, thank you so very much for the invitation 01:23 because, I greatly respect this ministry 01:26 and I want you to know that this particular ministry 01:29 is reaching so many people in urban areas 01:31 with a needed and a timely message 01:34 and God bless you for your faith 01:36 and your faithfulness to this ministry. 01:38 Oh! praise the Lord, thank you, God is really, truly blessing. 01:42 I was at Ephesus Church a few years ago 01:46 and I heard you preach, 01:48 I'd gone back to visit because it was my home church 01:50 and you were the Pastor at the time 01:53 and I heard you preach a sermon 01:55 that was so powerful and I thought, 01:57 "Man! he needs to be on Dare to Dream. " 01:59 So, I am so glad that you're here, 02:02 you have a heart for the inner city. 02:04 Tell us some of the concerns that you have 02:07 about what's going on in the inner city today. 02:10 Well, first of all, you need to understand 02:13 that my heart for the urban city 02:15 really gave birth to the fact that I was born in the city. 02:19 Okay. 02:20 I grew up in the city, 02:22 was always sensitive to the people who were around me 02:25 and when I looked at the people in my neighborhood, 02:28 I didn't see them as pariahs of Society, 02:31 I didn't see them as "outcasts" 02:33 or people who needed to be ignored, 02:35 instead, I saw them as real living, breathing people 02:39 with issues and challenges and problems. 02:41 I mean, I knew the prostitutes in my neighborhood 02:44 and they looked out for the little kids 02:46 and the drug dealers would never even touch us 02:50 because they knew who my grandfather was 02:52 and so, I didn't see them as deviants or criminals, 02:56 I saw them as "people with challenges" 02:58 and so, my entire life I've always just... 03:01 have borne that within my heart. 03:03 So, when I had a chance to enter into ministry, 03:06 I said that that needs to be a central focus of my ministry 03:10 to heal the broken hearted, to set the captive free, 03:13 to help the lame to walk again and cause the blind to see. 03:17 After all, that's the ministry of Jesus, right? 03:19 Yes, absolutely, absolutely, so, when you were growing up, 03:23 did you grow up in a Christian home 03:25 or were you not a Christian at that point? 03:28 Well, I grew up in a Christian home. 03:29 Tell us a little bit about your background. 03:31 Well, I grew up in a single-parent home 03:33 and my mother and father were divorced 03:35 when I was just a child, a small child, 03:37 I don't even remember when they got divorced. 03:39 Well, my mother was a Church School Teacher 03:42 for a period of time, but couldn't work 03:44 always in the church school for various reasons 03:47 and there were times when we were 03:48 experiencing very difficult times, 03:50 we had to be on welfare for some period of time 03:53 and I know all about the Government cheese 03:57 and... and... and... 03:59 but it was a wonderful place to be 04:02 because my mother was such a loving and a caring mother 04:04 but I learned something and that is this, 04:08 that even though they are Godly parents 04:11 who are in urban areas 04:14 trying to do the best that they can with their children, 04:16 sometimes, those urban environments 04:18 are too overwhelming and too overpowering 04:21 even for the most Godly and praying parent. 04:23 So my mother surely had her hands full with me. 04:26 Yes, you know, you said something 04:28 that's really interesting, like, 04:31 you were poor but your mom provided a nurturing environment 04:37 see... you don't have to be wealthy 04:39 to have an environment where there's love and caring 04:44 and character building. Hmmm... hmmm... 04:46 Your mother provided that for you 04:48 so, even though you didn't have money, 04:50 you had that Government cheese and stuff 04:53 and I think... a lot of us got to taste that, 04:55 I mean, I knew what it tasted like... 04:56 that, for you, was like... it shaped you, 05:01 it helped to shape who you are. 05:03 It surely did, it surely did and I don't regret a moment of it 05:06 but you said something that's very significant, 05:08 because a person lives in a poor community 05:10 does not mean that they are poor. 05:12 That's right. 05:13 And because you don't have money, 05:15 it does not mean that you're broke. 05:16 Come on now, come on... 05:18 Broke means that you are somehow 05:21 deviant or something that needs to be fixed. 05:23 There's nothing wrong with a person who's absolutely poor, 05:26 they just have a lack of means, a lack of access to means 05:28 and once we begin to understand that poor people are "people," 05:32 and that the thing that I love about Jesus 05:37 is that... Jesus was poor. 05:38 Some people try to say that Jesus was rich, 05:41 no, He had no place to live. 05:43 Yeah, that's right, and you know what? 05:45 When I was a child, I went to Sabbath School 05:47 but I did not really read my Bible 05:48 because I wasn't a converted Christian. 05:50 When I became a converted Christian 05:52 at around the age of 20, 05:54 that was the first time I read the Bible, 05:55 really, and when I read the Bible, 05:58 and I read about Jesus, 05:59 I said, "Jesus is one cool regular man... 06:02 I mean, He's hanging on the streets, 06:05 he's talking with the prostitutes, 06:07 He's hanging with... with the "so called" sinners 06:10 and He looks at those who are in power and says, 06:12 "Woe unto you, you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites... " 06:15 I mean, when I read that, I fell in love with Jesus 06:18 because then I understood that Jesus was a guy 06:21 who I could identify with. Yvonne: Yes. 06:23 He grew up on the wrong side of the tracks. 06:25 Yeah, and don't you think that in our churches today 06:28 there are so many more women than men? 06:31 Because Jesus is not masculinized, 06:34 in some ways, He's feminized, 06:36 and so it appeals more to women 06:39 but you... you were able to see 06:41 Jesus as He is... a man of power and strength. 06:44 Dedrick: Absolutely. 06:45 And who was... 06:46 I love the way that He would deal with people. 06:49 Answering things with a question 06:51 and... getting to the root of it, 06:54 Jesus could cut people down in a kind way. 06:58 Absolutely, I just wish that we could just extract Jesus 07:03 from the movie image that we have 07:05 and from the pictures that we have on walls 07:08 because when we truly understand the ministry of Jesus, 07:12 Jesus was about empowering those who were... unempowered 07:16 and giving possession to those who were dispossessed 07:20 and to uplifting those who were downtrodden 07:24 and if Jesus were alive today 07:26 I sort of wonder if He would scratch his head 07:29 and look at His church and wonder, 07:32 "Are these the people 07:33 who are calling themselves by my name?" 07:35 With our large cathedrals and our 1000-voice choirs 07:41 and gates around our church 07:44 and security guards in the hallway... 07:47 And you can't get up during the offering... 07:50 And in some places, 07:52 you can't get... nobody can come in... 07:53 nobody can leave in certain places, 07:55 yeah, yeah, so, what was it that made you decide 08:00 that you wanted to go into ministry? 08:02 Was there some pivotal event that took place 08:04 that made you decide that? 08:06 Well, it's going to sound a little strange 08:08 but the reality is that 08:10 I was called from the time I was a child and I knew it. 08:13 How did you know? 08:15 When I was a kid in the first... I think it was the first grade, 08:19 I was in church school at the time 08:21 and I was reading the Bible 08:22 and I heard a powerful preacher who was in my church 08:25 and I used to sit there and just watch him 08:27 and I told my classmates in the first grade, 08:29 I said, "You know, I'm going to be a preacher" 08:30 and they laughed at me. 08:32 They said, "You can't be a preacher. " 08:33 I said, "Why can't I be a preacher?" 08:34 They said, "Because to be a preacher, 08:36 you have to know the Bible forward and backwards, 08:37 you have to know every word in the Bible, 08:39 if you don't know every word in the Bible, 08:41 you can't be a preacher" so they said, 08:43 "What's the last word in the Bible?" 08:45 And I couldn't... Yvonne: Amen. 08:47 Right, I didn't know it. 08:48 They'd say, "Say Revelation backwards" 08:49 and I couldn't do it 08:51 so I ran out the classroom, was in the cloakroom crying, 08:55 crying and praying, "Lord, but I want to be a preacher, 08:58 I want to be a preacher. " 08:59 The teacher came and got me and said, "Why are you crying?" 09:01 "I want to be a preacher, I want to be a preacher. " 09:02 She just told me to stop crying and come back to the classroom. 09:05 I forgot about that prayer. Hmmm... 09:06 I forgot about that prayer, 09:09 that prayer came back to my memory 09:12 the first day that I stood up in my first church and prayed 09:18 the Lord brought that prayer back to my mind 09:20 and He said to me at that moment, 09:22 before I preached that first sermon, 09:25 "Delight thyself also in the Lord 09:27 and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart. " 09:29 Commit thy ways unto Him and He shall bring it to pass. " 09:34 Wow! so that calling... that calling was on your life 09:38 as a child and it came back to you... 09:41 that prayer came back to you at your first sermon. 09:44 Absolutely, absolutely... 09:46 Did you ever leave the church and then come back? 09:49 How were your teen years? 09:51 Well, I never left the church and came back 09:53 because I was never really in the church until I came. " 09:55 I mean, as a teenager, 10:00 like so many teenagers growing up in urban areas, 10:03 there are so many distractions, 10:05 so many things to get involved in 10:07 and I did not make the wisest of choices 10:10 to be honest with you, 10:12 by the time I got to be about the age of 11 or 12, 10:15 my mother couldn't make me go to church 10:18 and by the time I got to be 16 or 17, 10:20 I would go nowhere near a church 10:23 I was so... at that point... 10:26 so influenced by the demonic spirits 10:29 that I couldn't even stand on the same side of the street 10:33 where a church was, 10:34 I had to cross on the other side of the street 10:37 because I wouldn't be near anything 10:39 that reminded me of church 10:41 or anything that reminded me of holiness. 10:42 Therefore, I found myself in dark, slippery 10:46 and dangerous places. 10:47 On the day when I decided to get baptized, 10:50 as I was getting into that pool, 10:52 the demons were talking to me. 10:54 What were they saying? 10:56 They were yelling in my ears, saying to me, 10:58 "Don't get baptized, get out of here, 11:01 scream, run, run, run, go, scream, run, run, 11:05 they're going to kill you in here, 11:06 this man is going to kill you in here" 11:08 and up until that time I went under the water, 11:10 those voices were screaming 11:12 but the moment I hit that water, the voices stopped. 11:15 And you know what? 11:17 That was the one time that the demons didn't tell a lie. 11:19 You know why? Yvonne: Why? 11:21 Because they did kill me in that pool, 11:23 the old man of sin died 11:25 and I was resurrected to walk in the newness of life. 11:27 Come on... come on now... that's it! that's it! 11:31 Wow! so, you actually felt them talking to you 11:35 before you went under... and you came... 11:37 you went under... the old man went under... 11:40 and the new man came back up. Dedrick: God is good... 11:43 God is good... God is good, and it lets you know 11:46 and it lets our viewers know that God has a plan... 11:50 we always talk about this on Urban Report 11:53 God has a plan for everyone. 11:55 God knew where you were going to be... before you knew. 11:58 That's right... that's right... 12:00 And yet He brought you through... and now 12:03 you had something that you could pour back into... 12:06 tell us a bit about what you're doing 12:09 in terms of the inner city 12:12 and Organizations that you're involved in and all of that. 12:15 Well, when I look at "bondage and liberation," 12:22 bondage and liberation is spiritual 12:27 but it manifests itself sometimes in physical ways. 12:31 Sin is not just personal, sin is evil in the world, 12:36 it's systemic and it's systematic 12:38 and it permeates systems 12:39 therefore, it's one thing to say to the alcoholic, 12:43 "You can be free," 12:45 it's another thing to go down to Planning and Zoning 12:47 and tell them, 12:49 "There are too many liquor stores in the neighborhood. " 12:50 Ah ha... ah ha... 12:54 So when I look at the urban environment, 12:57 I look at Urban Ministry, I see, "changing the person" 13:00 but also, "changing the environment" 13:02 around the person, 13:04 to give that person every opportunity so, for example, 13:06 if people are in dilapidated housing, 13:09 that's a "sin issue" to me, 13:12 when landlords are taking advantage of people 13:14 who have no power, that's a "sin issue. " 13:16 Yvonne: Oppressing the poor... Dedrick: Oppressing the poor 13:18 and the Bible says an awful lot about that, 13:20 just read the book of Micah, for example, 13:22 so, I view it as my responsibility 13:25 to help liberate those people from that situation, 13:29 to bring justice about 13:30 so I work with affordable housing issues, 13:34 I've worked with children... dealing with educational gaps 13:38 in particular... dealing with computer programming 13:42 and those kinds of things, we're one Organization, 13:45 we had a Computer Clubhouse and it was funded by Cisco 13:50 who gave us the computers 13:51 and the kids were in there doing robotics and all kinds of things 13:55 they were just wonderful... wonderful things. 13:57 In my church... in your church in New York City, 14:01 we looked at health disparities and decided 14:05 that we could do something about that in our neighborhood, 14:07 so we started programs for weight reduction 14:10 and diabetes control management 14:12 and all those kinds of things and after a while... 14:14 Columbia wanted to partner with us 14:16 and New York University wanted to partner with us 14:20 and others wanted to partner with us 14:22 because, I believe, 14:25 that although people understand problems, 14:28 the church of the living God has the solutions. 14:30 Come on... 14:31 God has given us... 14:33 God has given us blueprints if we follow them... 14:35 then it brings about peace and liberation and prosperity 14:38 not only to the individual but to the whole community. 14:42 That's tremendous, we need more pastors who are... 14:46 and I know you're now in education and all that 14:48 but more who are involved in the community 14:51 because that's how 14:52 people are going to learn about what we're doing, 14:54 that's how they're going to learn about Jesus. 14:55 Absolutely. 14:57 Really, effectively, meeting people where they are. 14:59 Absolutely. 15:00 And that makes all the difference. 15:02 Before we go, tell us about Foundation of our Faith, 15:05 what you're going to be presenting to us on Foundation. 15:08 Well, over the next four messages, 15:12 We really are going to be talking about 15:14 the dark forces that exist in the world. 15:16 There are not a lot of people who can talk about that 15:19 and talk about it from experience 15:21 or really see it... for what it is, 15:22 but I hope to be able to just shed some light on that 15:25 to talk about "spiritual bondage" 15:28 and "spiritual liberation" 15:29 and what Jesus can do 15:30 to break those demonic forces in our lives. 15:33 That's tremendous, 15:34 thank you so much, I can't wait to hear you. 15:36 Well, thank you so much for having me. 15:38 God bless. 15:40 I'm here on the Set of Foundation of our Faith 15:44 with Chelauna King 15:45 who is no stranger to the Dare to Dream Network, 15:49 you've been here with us on "Magnify Him" before. 15:52 Yes, I have, I've been here on two occasions I believe. 15:56 Yeah and so we're happy to have you back 15:58 and this time for Foundation of our Faith, 16:00 give us a little bit about your background, 16:03 where did you grow up? 16:04 I was born in New York and my family moved to Georgia 16:09 so, I can say I did most of my growing in Georgia. 16:15 I've been there for about 16 years. 16:17 Oh wow! how many years were you in New York? 16:20 We moved when I was eight, I believe, yeah. 16:24 I moved out of New York when I was ten. 16:27 The food was amazing in New York. 16:29 Yeah, yes, no doubt. 16:31 That's one thing New York has hands down. 16:34 I agree, I agree. 16:36 At what age did you begin singing? 16:38 I started singing... 16:39 if you let my aunt tell it, I started singing at six months, 16:44 if you let my mother tell it, 16:46 I started singing at two-and-a-half years 16:48 because that's when I first picked up the microphone 16:50 but I was rolling around in the crib 16:52 and my aunt heard me and was like, 16:55 "She's going to sing, I already know she's going to... 16:57 I'm just waiting for you all to figure it out, 16:59 she's going to sing" 17:00 and so from then, the journey began. 17:02 Wow! so you just kind of came out the womb just singing, huh? 17:06 I guess... I don't know... I guess... 17:08 That's natural, look... see, I have really good friends 17:13 and unfortunately that talent skipped me, 17:16 my mom can sing, but... 17:17 So I've heard, I'd like to hear her sing actually. 17:21 Can we make that happen at some point? 17:23 I'd love to hear her sing. 17:24 Maybe we can get that to happen while you're here. 17:26 Great. 17:28 So, tell us about your childhood what was your upbringing like? 17:32 It was actually a lot of fun, 17:35 I was raised around a lot of family, 17:38 we had a huge house, four stories 17:41 and family would just come and live with us, 17:44 my cousins came, 17:46 my uncle lived with us for awhile, 17:48 it was just... I was always surrounded 17:50 by music and by family, and all my family sings, 17:54 so, whenever we get together, 17:55 it would be just like a big choir 17:58 soprano, alto, tenor, bass, just... it was very nice. 18:01 Wow! the whole family is blessed with the musical talent. 18:04 Pretty much, pretty much, we're a very musical family 18:07 both sides... my mother's side and my father's side, 18:10 a very musical family. 18:11 Okay, good, good, do you have any kids? 18:13 I do, I have two little ones, I have a little boy 18:17 he's five, his name is Michael 18:19 and I have a little girl, 18:20 her name is Renel and she's four. 18:23 Okay, what are the struggles that you faced coming up? 18:27 I would say... I think I faced a bit of what teenagers face 18:36 in finding myself and my identity 18:40 being comfortable in my skin 18:43 and not allowing anyone to deter me from the path 18:49 that God had placed before me. 18:51 I think all that came to a helm for me when I met Jesus 18:56 at Camp Killoqua in Florida, I believe, 19:01 I think Killoqua is in Florida 19:03 it was a Prayer Conference that we had 19:06 and it changed my life. 19:08 Hmmm... interesting... interesting... 19:11 it's amazing how that 19:13 "inside out" transformation can come 19:15 when you accept Jesus Christ as your Savior. 19:17 Yes it is. 19:18 And so, that's what... 19:20 that is what gave you the strength to overcome 19:22 those struggles? 19:24 I'd love to say that it did but in all honesty, 19:28 from there... it was still a struggle... 19:31 from there... you know... 19:33 you know how the devil just keeps putting things in your way 19:36 just keep putting things in your way, 19:38 keeps putting things in your way 19:39 and you have to keep fighting. 19:41 I think I had to learn that even though I accepted Jesus, 19:45 I'm still a soldier... I'm still fighting... 19:48 and even though He has won the war, 19:51 I still have to fight every day to make sure 19:54 that I'm doing what He wants me to do as a Christian, 19:57 so that other people will be led to Him through me, 20:00 it's not an easy thing, it's not. 20:03 Yeah, it's definitely a daily surrender. 20:05 It's a daily surrender. 20:06 Daily surrender. 20:08 It is. 20:09 What are some of your passions, what are you passionate about? 20:11 I am... you mean besides singing? 20:13 Besides singing... yes. 20:14 Because that takes up like... 75 percent of my life, 20:17 other than that, I am a web designer 20:21 so, I may not look it, but I'm a geek, 20:25 I'm a computer geek, I just... 20:28 I love computers inside and out, 20:30 other than that, 20:33 I'm learning that I love interior design. 20:36 So... yeah... it's become a new thing recently 20:41 I'm not sure what that's about, 20:43 just colors and... matching things 20:46 and making sure everything... is organized in a room, 20:49 I don't know why that works for me but it does. 20:51 I mean, was that something you were thinking about 20:53 as a kid... or were you... 20:54 Chelauna: Absolutely not. Jason: Really? 20:56 It came... out of nowhere... just... 20:58 And what did you think you would be when you grew up... 21:01 when you were a kid? 21:02 It depends on when you ask me, 21:05 when I was in Kindergarten, I wanted to be a teacher, 21:08 when I was in 1st and 2nd grades I wanted to be an ice skater 21:13 and then it changed to... 21:17 I think at that point... 21:20 I wanted to be a lawyer for like a day 21:23 until I learned what they had to do 21:25 and totally changed my mind 21:26 and from then, I said I wanted to do Social Work 21:31 which is what my degree is in 21:32 and then the Lord kind of moved me over into music, so... 21:37 Okay, so are you in full-time ministry 21:40 is that full time? 21:42 Yes, I am, I am in full-time ministry now. 21:45 And that took a leap of faith to jump out there, did it? 21:50 No, actually it took my husband. 21:52 Oh really? 21:53 Yes, the day after we got married, 21:55 my husband, who is my best friend, 21:57 of sixteen years, 21:59 he pulled me to the side and he said, 22:02 "I really don't know what you're waiting for," 22:05 and I was like... 22:06 "I have no idea what you're talking about," 22:08 he said, "God gave you a gift 22:10 and He's going to hold you accountable 22:13 if you don't do something with that gift 22:15 that's why He put you on this earth, 22:18 now go and live your purpose" 22:20 and so... from then... it was a humbling thing 22:24 for he had never said anything like that to me before 22:26 and I kind of stepped back... 22:29 like, "Wow, maybe he's right, 22:32 maybe God will hold me accountable 22:34 if I don't do the thing that He put me on this earth to do" 22:38 and so... at that point... he was like, 22:41 "Honey, I'll take care of the bills, 22:43 go and do what He put you here to do. " 22:46 So, full-time music ministry... here I am. 22:49 Amen, amen... and it's so great to be able to do 22:52 what you're passionate about 22:53 and something that has a purpose. 22:55 It is... it is... it's a blessing. 22:57 Who has inspired you the most in your life? 23:02 Now, it depends on which area you're talking about, 23:06 if you're talking about overall... 23:08 I would have to say, "my mother" 23:10 I would have to say, my mother... hands down. 23:14 Just watching her become the woman of God that she is 23:18 hands down, my mother. 23:20 Okay, and now what are some other aspects... 23:23 could you say that had an impact? 23:24 Well, you know, because music... 23:26 there are people in music, I would have to say, 23:29 Sandi Patty, most definitely, Sandi Patty 23:32 and Kathryn Grayson, 23:36 I love old movies, old black-and-whites... 23:39 old... '40s, '50s, you know... 23:41 musicals, and she's a soprano and I just love hearing her sing 23:48 so I'd have to say, "Kathryn Grayson. " 23:50 Sandi Patty and Kathryn Grayson, yeah, pretty much... 23:53 And what area, would you say, that you fall into, 23:57 are you a soprano, an alto? 23:58 I am... from what I've been told, 24:01 I am a lyric coloratura soprano 24:04 and so, I'm all the way up there in the sky 24:07 but I like singing alto and tenor as well, 24:11 it just depends on how I'm feeling in a song, or... 24:15 you know, but my range is a coloratura soprano. 24:19 You ever think about getting a group together 24:22 with your family members? 24:23 We actually do sing together, 24:25 every fourth Sabbath in our church 24:27 we sing together, my mother, myself and my husband... 24:31 the three of us sing together 24:32 and we're working on the kids now. 24:34 Oh, your husband sings too? 24:35 Yeah, he does, he does, so we sing together, 24:38 we love to sing together, we've been doing it for years. 24:40 Wow, wow, okay, so, what songs can we expect 24:45 from you on Foundation of our Faith 24:48 and give us a little... a little description of each one 24:54 like... why it means so much to you. 24:56 I will be singing, "He's been faithful" 25:00 of course, the title speaks for itself 25:05 that God is faithful regardless of what you do, 25:08 where you go, He is faithful 25:11 and He will, forever, be faithful. 25:14 The second song I'll be singing is, "How Great Thou Art" 25:19 and to be truthful, 25:22 I was not a big fan of "How Great Thou Art" initially 25:25 but I think you grow into some songs 25:31 with your spiritual maturity 25:32 and I've grown into "How Great Thou Art" 25:35 just seeing the majesty of what He can do and who He is. 25:38 The third song is, "My Father's Heart" 25:42 it says, "My love is not my own, 25:45 it all belongs to you" and I truly believe that... 25:49 that if you're a Christian, 25:51 the love that you have comes from God 25:53 and everything that we do should be to please His heart. 25:57 And finally, I'm going to sing "We Shall Behold Him" 26:01 because I believe... 26:02 I believe... that when we see Him, 26:04 it is going to be a grand and glorious event 26:08 and I just cannot wait until that day 26:11 when we can all look up into the sky 26:14 and see Him coming in all of His glory 26:17 we shall behold Him! 26:20 Amen... wow! we can definitely see the passion 26:24 that you have and that is... it's such a blessing 26:29 to be able to live and walk in your divine purpose 26:34 so, we are looking forward to seeing what you have for us, 26:39 for the "Foundation of our Faith" 26:41 and we hope that our Viewers will tune in to be blessed by 26:46 the music and by the wonderful sermons that we have 26:52 that will be taking place. 26:53 Praise the Lord. 26:54 Thank you so much for coming out here and joining us 26:58 and we hope that you will join us as well. 27:03 We want all of you to tune in and receive the rich blessings 27:08 that are in store for you on "Foundation of our Faith.
