00:22 Hello, and welcome to Jesus For Asia Now.
00:24 I'm Natalie wood and my husband Jon 00:25 is joining me today 00:27 to share some stories about amazing people he met 00:29 on his recent trip to Mumbai, India. 00:32 Hello, darling. 00:33 Hi, darling, how are you? 00:34 I'm doing fine today. 00:35 It's an exciting trip, it's exciting show. 00:37 I get to share about this amazing city, huge city. 00:41 Yes, and you had quite the experiences 00:44 while you were there. 00:45 One of the most intense trips that I've ever had, 00:48 four days in Mumbai, visiting our Bible workers 00:51 and seeing their work 00:52 after sometime being away, very intense. 00:55 Okay, so how many people live in Mumbai? 00:58 Let's just start there, population. 00:59 Okay, well, there is the downtown area 01:01 and then there is the metro area 01:03 which includes the entire area, the bay, 01:05 it's kind of a bay on the coast, 01:08 the west coast of India. 01:10 And there is 21 million people 01:13 living in the entire metro area. 01:15 Okay. 01:16 And downtown, there is 12 million people, 01:18 just 12 million. 01:20 Just 12 million. Yeah. 01:21 So it's a fairly large city. 01:23 It's huge, it's the size of New York. 01:26 Okay, and the slum in Mumbai? 01:28 The slum is, well, there is, 01:30 it's kind of scattered all around 01:32 but it's considered 01:33 the second largest slum in the world. 01:34 The largest slum in Asia is in Mumbai. 01:38 Okay, so there is a lot of intense poverty 01:41 and all sorts of things like that. 01:42 Yeah, there is the poverty right next to it, 01:45 there goes skyscrapers 01:46 and a lot of wealth in the city, 01:48 one of the most wealthy men in the world 01:50 lives there in Mumbai. 01:51 You can see his house from just about anywhere in the city 01:54 'cause it's like 27 stories tall. 01:57 Wow, all right, so our first little video clip here is a... 02:02 It's an aerial scene of just coming in over Mumbai, 02:05 you can kind of see the size of the city 02:07 and what it looks like. 02:08 Okay, here we go. 02:11 Wow, that's a big city. 02:13 So I haven't counted the buildings 02:14 but there is a lot there. 02:16 That's a lot of building there and lot of people. 02:18 So what was your experience this time? 02:21 It was really intense, just intense travel. 02:25 The travel getting to the churches 02:28 was just super intense. 02:29 It's hard, it's a long ways to the churches, 02:31 the nearest church is like 45 minutes away by train. 02:34 Okay. 02:35 To go from where we were staying, 02:36 which is at the main church, the headquarters, 02:39 we have to walk our ways, get in a taxi, 02:41 take the taxi to the train station, 02:42 take the train, get in a rickshaw, you know, 02:45 walk across the however long it was to get to the church. 02:49 So it's just very intense, lot of traffic. 02:51 And we are gonna show some of that in the show. 02:53 And lot of people. Lot of people. 02:55 But here's a picture of the Cadillac. 03:00 Well, you can see the mixture of traffic, 03:02 you got little kids, you got older people, you've got, 03:05 you know, oxen with carts and trailers and motorcycles... 03:10 Trucks and buses and... 03:11 And you can see there, 03:12 look at the guy crossing the street there. 03:13 Yeah, standing in the middle of the traffic. 03:14 Just wading out through traffic. 03:16 If you stopped and waited at the side of the road 03:19 waiting for a gap in traffic to cross safely, 03:21 you'd be there all day and whole night. 03:23 Yeah, you would never cross. 03:25 You'd never cross, so you just go out little bit and then, 03:27 you know, you get to like, if you have a dotted line there 03:30 and you can stop there and cars whiz by behind you 03:32 and whiz by in front of you 03:34 and you wait till the next thing, 03:35 you can go one more lane and you just keep doing that 03:37 and people are, that's okay. 03:39 The craziest thing is one time I came back from India, 03:42 after being there for like four weeks, 03:44 and I tried to cross the road in America like that and, 03:49 you know, there was a car coming this way and I got in, 03:51 you know, he went by and I came, you know, 03:53 went to the middle of the road 03:54 and car coming this way just about freaked out, 03:57 hit his breaks and honked at me 03:58 and gave me a dirty look, 04:00 I'm like, oh, I'm not in India anymore. 04:02 I'm not in India anymore. 04:05 So I had to readjust to American style safety. 04:09 Yeah, crossing the road. That's right. 04:12 We always have to adjust whichever we were going anyway 04:14 because the traffic's on the opposite side. 04:16 Yeah. 04:17 So you always have to look both ways 04:18 no matter whether you are in America or over there. 04:20 Right. 04:21 They drive on the left hand side of the road 04:22 and we drive on the right hand side of the road. 04:24 Which one's correct, I cannot say, 04:26 but it's different. 04:28 It's different. So we have to adapt. 04:29 We just live with that and adapt to it. 04:31 Yeah. 04:32 All right, so the next picture we have is a young man, 04:35 is he begging, is that what this picture is? 04:37 As we are driving through the city, you know, 04:39 we see a lot of beggars stop at the stop sign 04:42 or stop light and a beggar, you know, 04:43 people come up and asking for food. 04:47 Yeah, and it's hard, it's hard to know what to do 04:49 because lot of these kids they, you know, part of the mafia. 04:53 So they are being used. 04:54 And so you give them some money 04:55 and they end up supporting a mafia type of operations. 04:59 Right. So we just don't know. 05:01 Yeah. It's heartbreaking. 05:04 Now, this next video is we are in the taxi and here's a lady, 05:08 I'm not sure what her job is, 05:10 but evidently it has something to do with garbage collection, 05:12 she's trying to get across the street. 05:14 And you can see she's just going gently and gingerly, 05:18 trying to cross the street, trying not to get run over, 05:21 and everybody avoids each other 05:23 and accommodates the person that's walking 05:26 versus the person in the truck 05:27 doing fast, going fast, 05:30 they just all accommodate somehow. 05:32 Yeah. 05:33 But I want to show you this, okay. 05:34 Now, this little section of video, 05:37 let's go ahead and play that section. 05:38 Okay. 05:39 As we are watching this video, you can see there's stairs 05:42 and it just looks like some kind of... 05:45 Like outdoor market or something? 05:47 Yeah, but that is actually a neighborhood, 05:50 that's a suburb. 05:51 That is a set of houses. That's where people live. 05:54 Now you can see that there's stairs going up to the, 05:57 to another floor platform in there. 06:00 That's where one family lives 06:02 above the family that lives under them. 06:05 Okay. 06:06 So in that one little place is two families living. 06:09 So you look just to the right of that tree 06:11 you can see that stairway going up 06:13 into that open house, open, opening there. 06:16 And then you see to the right of that opening, 06:17 you've got that plywood 06:20 and then that support structure that upright, 06:23 from the tree to that upright that's two houses. 06:28 Yeah, we don't know what life is like over there. 06:30 We have no clue. 06:31 We have no clue what, 06:33 what the majority of the world actually lives like. 06:36 And so this is actually 06:38 they have one of these slums type of things 06:40 right outside the headquarters of our Adventist church. 06:43 Right across the street, I remember that. 06:45 You just go out and you come around the corner. 06:47 Yeah. 06:48 And you get a whole line of those. 06:49 So every time we go to the train station 06:51 or go get a taxi, 06:52 we walk past and through this neighborhood. 06:55 And so it's just... 06:57 This is one of the reasons why it's so intense. 07:00 When I came home from, from Mumbai, I said, 07:02 Mumbai has scarred me for life. I'm scarred for life. 07:05 I love, I love that place because of the people there, 07:09 but the intensity of it 07:11 and the poverty, and the wealth, 07:12 and everything mixed in there, just scarred me for life. 07:16 I'll never be the same. 07:19 Which is why we have a lot of video to share 07:22 and a lot of stories to share, and I think we've got a story? 07:25 Yeah. 07:26 So the first night I come in, okay. 07:29 I was dealing with some issues, from administrative issues 07:32 from, from other parts of the world and we come in, 07:35 it's very intense and very stressful 07:39 with all the cars and everything like that 07:40 going on and I woke up... 07:42 And it looks smoggy in the pictures. 07:43 It's quite smoggy. 07:44 I woke up at about 2 o'clock in the morning 07:46 and I felt this intense pain in my, 07:49 like a really bad headache, 07:51 and my neck was all tightening up, 07:52 and my shoulders were all tightening up and, 07:55 and I'm just like, oh, my goodness, 07:56 I don't know how I'm going to get through tomorrow in Mumbai. 08:00 Yeah, traveling to churches and, yeah. 08:03 Yeah, and with this kind of pain 08:05 it's like, Lord Jesus, please help me. 08:08 And He, and it's like one of the few times 08:12 where He actually, I heard Him speak to me in my mind, 08:16 it's an impression, no audible voice 08:17 but just a really strong impression says, 08:20 nobody can take you out of My hand. 08:23 And with that I had peace and I felt and I said, 08:26 Lord, please, 08:27 I don't know how I'm going to get through tomorrow 08:28 with all this pain. 08:30 Please heal me if it's Your will. 08:32 And I felt this relaxing presence 08:36 and this so relaxing feeling 08:38 coming down through my head into my shoulders. 08:41 I felt all relaxed, my shoulders just relax 08:43 and my body relaxed and I went back to sleep. 08:46 That was the beginning of this trip 08:47 in India, in Mumbai. 08:49 Okay. And that was... 08:50 Praise the Lord. 08:52 That was really an encouraging experience for me 08:54 to move forward that God was with us. 08:57 And no matter where you go because as we'll see, 09:00 as we go through this environment, 09:02 okay, you know, 09:04 and you'll see the next morning is Friday, 09:06 so I'll talk some little bit more about how to, 09:09 how to have Christ's presence 09:11 when the environment is not conducive 09:14 to thinking about Christ 09:16 'cause you have to learn these things. 09:17 We are called to go to where the people are, 09:20 and the majority of the people in the world live in cities. 09:24 So how do you maintain 09:25 your Christian religious connection with Christ, 09:28 your experience in a city, 09:30 in an environment where it is not peaceful? 09:35 It's not God's nature. Right. 09:38 But God is there. 09:40 Yes, He is 'cause He's got people there. 09:42 Absolutely. Christ is where the need is. 09:45 And that's where the people are. 09:47 That's where Christ, that's where we can find Him. 09:49 Okay. Yeah. 09:50 All right, so in the morning on Friday? 09:52 Yes, we're going out to a village 09:55 that they had told me about. 09:57 Okay. 09:58 So we're going, we're going out to a village. 09:59 It took us two hours to get there. 10:03 It's quite a ways out from, from Mumbai. 10:05 It takes you about an hour to get out of the city, 10:07 and then another hour in the countryside 10:10 to get to this village that we're going to 10:12 where some Bible workers had been planting a church. 10:15 Okay. 10:16 So the next video then is the outside of the city? 10:19 Okay, so this is the countryside. 10:20 Yes. Okay. 10:37 This is the most amazing program 10:40 that I've seen in a really long time. 10:42 You know, Friday afternoon, 10:44 80 or so people have gathered here. 10:48 They don't read the Bible, but they've heard the gospel, 10:53 they've heard about Jesus Christ. 10:54 And probably 80% 10:56 of all the people that were here, 10:58 when asked if Jesus had touched their lives, raise their hand. 11:02 And this is the direct result of this Bible worker program. 11:05 And these are Hindu people, these are, this is brand new. 11:09 The Bible workers have been working in here 11:11 for the last six months. 11:13 And this is why I'm so excited about our Bible worker program 11:16 because they're here full time planting seeds, 11:19 going where the Holy Spirit calls them, 11:21 and groups like this 11:23 are the result of their work through the Holy Spirit. 11:26 And it's so exciting to know that I can be in America 11:31 doing what God's called me to do, 11:33 while sponsoring people like them, 11:36 like these Bible workers 11:37 to do what God's called them to do, 11:39 and this is the result. 11:40 And so it's that partnership 11:41 that God has ordained 11:43 that will take the gospel to the whole world. 11:45 So I'm really excited about what our indigenous, 11:48 our national Bible workers are doing, 11:51 and I love this program. 11:52 I encourage you to get involved. 11:54 Also I really want a lot more Bible workers, 11:58 a lot more villages, a lot more souls for heaven. 12:02 This is like an amazing, amazing return on investment 12:06 and what, what, what's this gonna be like 12:08 when we get to heaven, 12:09 we see these people worshipping Jesus face to face. 12:13 I want to be there and I want more people to be there also. 13:02 Such a precious little one. Yeah. 13:04 It's neat to see the Bible worker, you know, 13:06 on that footage that gentleman was walking through the village 13:09 and there was footage of him praying so, 13:12 it's neat to see them in action. 13:14 Yeah, now these Bible workers are amazing 13:17 because it took us two hours to drive there. 13:20 These Bible workers go there twice a week. 13:22 And it takes them 2 hours, 13:23 they have to take first a taxi to the train, 13:28 and then take a train for about 45 minutes, 13:30 and then from there they have to get an auto rickshaw 13:33 out to the village. 13:34 So it takes them almost two hours each way. 13:37 And they don't have a car, they're not, you were in a car? 13:40 Right. Oh, wow! 13:41 It's twice a week. 13:43 Every Wednesday night, every Sabbath, 13:44 they do that two hour trek out there, have a meeting, 13:47 teach the Bible truths, and then get back on their, 13:51 whatever means of transportation... 13:53 All the modes of transportation in reverse. 13:56 What's really amazing about this particular village 13:59 is the headman was there, okay. 14:01 And he stood up at the end and he gave a testimony, 14:04 he says, "I'm not an Adventist, I'm not a Christian, 14:06 but I want to say that 14:07 Jesus Christ gave me victory over alcohol." 14:11 Wow. 14:12 And that's why I support this and I promote this. 14:15 In the past my village used to have a lot of alcoholics 14:17 and lot of problems, 14:18 but now almost all of my village now 14:21 is alcohol free. 14:23 Wow. And that's when... 14:24 so I started asking, you know, 14:26 how many of you have had Jesus work miracles in your life 14:29 and probably 65% of all the people 14:32 in that gathering 14:34 that you saw raised their hands. 14:36 So Christ is moving in that village. 14:38 They're not baptized yet, they're not Christians, 14:41 many of them are getting ready to be baptized, 14:43 but they're still Hindu, they're still Muslim, 14:46 whatever they are, whatever their background is, 14:49 that's they haven't... 14:50 and Christ is working with them and for them. 14:53 And this Bible worker is doing this. 14:54 And he's helping them, you know, 14:56 if they're not even converted... 14:57 Yeah, Christ is no respecter of what religion you are. 15:00 Right. 15:01 He just wants to see what is your path. 15:02 I want to help you. And the steps, step-by-step. 15:05 He loves people. He loves these people. 15:07 You know, whether they're millionaire or a pauper, 15:12 He loves them. 15:13 And so it's so exciting to see that. 15:15 That was our first church that they took us to. 15:18 That's neat, that's really neat. 15:19 Yeah, so then after they left the village, 15:23 we drove back, we had lunch and drove back to the city. 15:27 And then that evening, towards the evening, 15:30 we went to one of our slums. 15:32 And this is a slum I've been to before. 15:34 And we've had Bible workers in that slum 15:36 for quite a number of years. 15:38 And they've raised up over a 100 believers 15:41 in those slums. 15:42 So we've got a church, 15:43 we've got a group, a congregation, 15:45 but we have a problem. 15:48 It's a huge problem 15:50 and we'll show you in the video. 15:51 Okay. 16:01 We're here in the Mumbai slum, you know, 16:04 the slums in Mumbai is like 16:05 the second largest in the world, 16:07 the largest in Asia. 16:08 We have a church, but we're renting this place 16:13 and the rental, they often, you know, have to change. 16:17 And they can't put a sign up. 16:18 So we just finished having a meeting with, 16:22 I'd say we had about 50 people and the place was packed. 16:26 And the attention, the openness and the desire, 16:31 the hunger for the gospel was just really strong. 16:33 It's such a beautiful thing. 16:35 The Friday night here, 16:36 and I love worshiping with our friends 16:39 in the slums of Mumbai. 16:41 Pray for these people because they've got huge challenges, 16:44 they're trying to raise funds to get a church. 16:48 And a church is gonna cost about $25,000. 16:51 And there's been five or so years 16:53 that they've been trying to raise their funds for, 16:55 they've not been able to. 16:56 So please pray for your fellow church members 16:59 in the slums of Mumbai. 17:01 They can find a church, 17:02 they can have a church of their own. 17:43 Precious people. Yes. 17:45 There's a lot of people who live there. 17:47 Yes, Christ has a lot of jewels living there. 17:51 Yes, He does. Yeah. 17:52 So it cost 25,000 for them to have their own church? 17:55 That's correct. 17:56 And that is basically three units all put together. 18:00 So each unit's about $8,000. 18:03 And they want to have three, 18:04 that was the size of the meeting hall 18:06 that we're in. 18:07 You can see how packed it was already 18:08 so it'd be nice to have four units. 18:11 But that's a good place to start anyway. 18:13 So then you went to live there? Yeah. 18:15 And the next little short video is a little clip 18:19 so people can get a little bit of atmosphere. 18:21 Yes. Okay, here we go. 18:23 Hello. Hello. 18:25 Most people are very friendly. Hello. 18:27 Hello, how are you? Oh, I like your shirt. 18:31 He's wearing a... Hello. 18:34 Oh, that was a big noise. Yeah, very good. 18:37 Oh, okay. Come aside. 18:39 Yeah, okay. 18:42 All right, almost got run over by a motorcycle there, 18:45 that's all right. 18:47 I've had worse. 18:49 I think we had a car here at one time. 18:53 Okay. Okay, guys. 18:56 Come on. What is this? 18:58 Photo. What is this? 19:00 Photo. Photo. For fun. 19:02 Fun photo. Ready, here we go. 19:10 They are cute. 19:11 Yeah, kids everywhere love to get together, 19:13 love to have photo with a white skin foreigner. 19:18 Sometimes when I'm, we know, spending a long time in India 19:21 and I catch myself, I look at myself in the mirror, 19:24 scares me. 19:25 Whoa! Who's that guy? Oh, yeah, that's right. 19:28 What's wrong with the skin? My skin is of different color. 19:30 He has a disease or something. Yeah, wow. 19:34 So then we can move on to the next day. 19:36 Mm-hmm. 19:37 And you said, you slept well that night. 19:39 Slept well, very well. 19:41 You didn't have problem sleeping. 19:42 You can see that my skin was all shining from the sweat, 19:45 it was hot. 19:47 Hot, hot, everywhere we went, it was hot. 19:50 So God gave us grace to go through that, 19:53 'cause I wasn't used to that. Okay, so the next day... 19:56 Was Sabbath, by the way, that was Saturday, 19:59 that was Friday night. 20:00 Okay. That was Sabbath eve. 20:01 Okay. 20:03 So it's like you driving though the city, 20:05 and it's like going to a vespers. 20:08 And car is honking, and traffic going by 20:12 and it's like where do you get your spiritual life 20:15 in that kind of situation. 20:17 And that's where this happen 20:20 number of years ago back in 2010, 20:22 and I was in Bangkok and I was out by myself 20:25 in the evening in Bangkok with my camera. 20:28 And I'm like, I need to go home 20:30 and 'cause I feel like God is a long ways away from me, 20:33 'cause when I go through the city, 20:34 I see the success of man, high rise buildings. 20:37 I feel like my faith is in an acid bath, 20:41 where it's dissolving into the works of men. 20:44 And so I was out of the city, I was like, Lord, 20:47 I need to go home and reconnect with You. 20:50 But then I started thinking, wait a minute, 20:52 Christ is everywhere, right? 20:54 He is everywhere. Yeah. 20:55 So I said, Lord, You're everywhere, 20:56 that means You're here. 20:59 And He revealed His Holy Spirit to me right then, 21:01 His presence to me and almost to the point we're like, 21:04 "Lord, what are you doing here?" 21:06 This is downtown is in the city, you know. 21:09 And it's like, He's like I'm where the need is, 21:11 I'm where the people are. 21:14 So His sprit can bring Himself to everywhere. 21:18 Yeah. 21:19 And so in the city we see all these hubbub, 21:22 but Christ is in us. 21:23 Greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. 21:27 And so we can have this peace, we can have God's presence 21:31 and we can have spiritual life among the crowd. 21:36 Noise and everything, hubbub and traffic and... 21:40 Anywhere. Christ is with us anywhere. 21:43 And as we go with that faith, see this is the, you know, 21:47 the victory is our faith 21:49 knowing that Christ is there with us 21:51 opens a door to Him actually being there. 21:54 And these people, you know, 21:55 they don't have a luxury of going out into the hills 21:58 and sitting and having a Bible study. 22:00 Yeah. They don't have that luxury. 22:02 No. 22:03 They have to live there, 22:04 so is Christ not gonna bless them 22:06 in the place where they're at? 22:09 Is He not gonna come to them there? 22:10 Exactly. 22:12 And when Christ was on the earth, 22:13 did He only go out of... 22:14 He spent a lot of time out in the country side. 22:17 He was able to, but did He avoid the cities? 22:20 Most of His works were done in the cities. 22:23 Was He walking 22:24 through the cities feeling like, 22:25 "Oh, I got to get out of here, 22:26 so that I can reconnect with My Father." 22:29 No, He'd already connected with His Father. 22:31 Absolutely. And the Father was with Him. 22:34 Wherever He was, 22:35 in the cities and in the countries. 22:36 So we can claim that experience in Christ 22:38 as we connect with Christ. 22:40 Yes. 22:41 Then we can have Him with us in the cities. 22:43 That's right. 22:44 And our faith is not dependent, our experience with Christ 22:46 is not dependent on our surroundings. 22:49 It's dependent on... That's a good lesson. 22:50 It's dependent on Christ, 22:52 who is omnipresent, Omni powerful 22:55 and He's everywhere. 22:57 It's awesome, God is good. Yeah, God is good. 22:59 All right, so on this Sabbath morning, 23:01 you went to a different church. 23:02 Yes, and we're gonna end on this church 23:04 because it's a beautiful church, 23:06 and play the video 23:07 you'll get the idea of why such a contrast, 23:10 such a difference from the church 23:12 we were at Friday night. 23:13 Okay. 23:29 Okay. 23:30 And this morning Lord, we're so grateful to You 23:32 for the privilege to engage ourselves 23:35 in this great task that heaven is engaged in. 24:46 So, Honey, could you tell the difference 24:48 between that church 24:49 and the church that we went to in the slum? 24:51 Yes. It was a lot cleaner. 24:54 Yes. And brighter. 24:55 Yes. You know, just lighter. 24:58 Yeah. A whole different environment. 25:01 Right. 25:02 But this is an incredible story... 25:04 Okay. Okay. 25:05 We get there and I walk in and I'm like, 25:07 "Wow, this is a nice church. 25:10 I love it here. This is awesome." 25:12 And seeing the people with in their clean sarees 25:15 and their smiling faces, it's like they're so at peace 25:18 and they're so worshiping God. 25:20 And I'm like, "Wow, this is so awesome." 25:22 I'm so glad that you have a church, 25:24 that looks this nice, 25:25 that's representative of our God. 25:28 And the president, who you saw in there 25:30 talking and giving the communion. 25:33 By the way I... 25:34 He ask me to do the communion 25:35 and I didn't do a very good job of it 25:37 so he took over. 25:39 But he said that, this is not our regular place to meet. 25:42 He says that we meet normally in a really tiny house, 25:45 and only like 15 people can fit in the house. 25:48 It's very dumpy 25:50 and this was a special occasion, 25:51 we rented this facility just for the Sabbath. 25:55 And so I'm like praying about this 25:58 and I get the strong impression. 26:01 They need to rent it all the time. 26:04 They need to rent this all the time, 26:05 so I'm like how much is that cost to rent? 26:07 And he says well, four hours 26:09 if they were gonna rent it every Sabbath 26:11 for four hours, okay, it would cost $200 a month. 26:15 Okay. 26:17 And I prayed and I prayed I'm like, 26:18 "Man, for these people this is really, 26:21 it's out of their ability. 26:25 We had a, many of these people are barely scraping by. 26:29 You might as well say, you know, $20,000 a month... 26:34 Right. Here in America. 26:36 And so I prayed about it and it's like okay, 26:38 we're gonna commit to this. 26:40 And I told the president, says, you know, 26:42 Jesus For Asia we're gonna commit to this 26:46 to $200 a month 26:47 to rent this place full time for this congregation 26:51 and they almost cried. 26:53 And when he announced it everybody was just so happy. 26:58 He says, we've been praying for this 27:00 for the last four years, you've answered our prayer. 27:05 And see that's what's beautiful about the donations 27:07 to the general fund, you know, 27:10 is that we're able to do these kinds of things 27:13 in the moment when the opportunity opens up. 27:16 And so it's so cool to be in a place. 27:19 If I'd stayed home, I wouldn't have that opportunity 27:23 to be in that place and to fill that need 27:25 and to answer, be the answer to that prayer. 27:28 And that's why God wants us to get out of our comfort zone. 27:31 He wants us to go and meet other people 27:33 in other parts of the world. 27:35 Meet other people and see, you know, 27:37 where can I make a difference. 27:39 Yeah. It's awesome. 27:41 Yeah.
