And it's chapter 4 and 05:16 verse and yes. 05:18 >> Zachariah chapter 4 verse 10 and then assess the following. 05:23 Do not despise the small beginnings for the Lord 05:27 rejoices to see the work. Begin to see the mom line in. 05:36 Thank you very much, a rocket. 05:38 >> And so we understand that this is Rachel's on Rachel's 05:42 favorite text. Would you share why? 05:45 >> So the reason this is one of my favorite tax is that really 05:48 describes how starting with Jesus really began. It began as 05:53 something small that frankly, when I first heard about it, 05:57 I sort of despise. I'm like, what are you thinking? This is 06:01 this is crazy. Rizzi I there's no way we can pull this off. 06:05 But we started with what we had the men and what was available 06:10 and God took the rest painting and what started as something 06:13 small we have got saw needed to be spread and has done that and 06:18 it's now got a worldwide impact. 06:21 >> And grace pray that God am and Medicaid got wake. You 06:26 know, a lot of times we doubt ourselves. But, you know, 06:30 we just need to listen to the voice of the Lloyd small steps, 06:34 you know, will get you to the top U.S. minus. You are taking 06:38 the steps with Jesus. You will have to success. 06:41 >> And so just that goes with our name starting with Jesus. 06:45 That's right. It starts as a small step. The men and then 06:50 grows as we walk more with Jesus was startling him human. 06:55 >> Praise the Lord at it with anyone like to also comment 06:58 about this text anyone else. 07:00 I appreciate what Rachel is saying about the small 07:03 beginnings because as 07:06 and starting with what you have because that's what happened 07:09 was started when she was it was it was a situation where like 07:14 it was in the middle of everything was kind of shutting 07:16 down. And he was in the middle of the pandemic. And they're 07:18 like what's going to happen. And my husband is pastor. 07:22 And so he was trying to get stuff for the adults time and 07:26 get all that stuff. And now, 07:28 but what about the kids? And it was like I was being 07:30 impressed. 07:32 Use what you have in your hand. And that was the smallest the 07:35 was it was a phone. And so the 07:38 that just brings it back to the small beginnings, small bands 07:43 and then. 07:44 >> Praise the Lord called definitely a little boy. 07:46 That phone can cause some trouble. But also you can. 07:49 >> Haha. 07:54 >> Praise the lard. So yeah, he's have to be willing and God 07:57 will take the rest. Yeah, that's what he's done. And 07:59 that's what he would always do. That's really the key is 08:02 willingness, right? And anyone. We all have to start somewhere 08:08 move. Yes, and sometimes we're afraid to start because we 08:10 think 08:12 I'm I'm I'm a nobody. But that's who got specializes in 08:16 working with a specialized in taking nobody's and showing to 08:20 the world that he can make them some buddies. 08:23 >> So the question today for the folks at home also is what 08:26 is that? They haven't yet exactly what happened to him. 08:29 We talked to the kids all the time. Sometimes is just a 08:32 smile. Yes, sometimes that's all you have is a smile. 08:36 And you could be talking to you could be walking, pass 08:38 something on the street and a smile is is what can change 08:42 their life for the day. And she that's the smallest thing. 08:47 But I will use that. Yeah, it's a going share. God's love to 08:52 just be a smile for somebody. It's a it's just so many 08:55 different ways that what is in your hand? What can you do with 08:57 that? You have I mean, Moses had a staff. We've got what's 09:01 in your hand? It was a staff. He's like I can't speak. 09:04 I can do. I can. It is not. But he had a staff inside. 09:07 You've got to use that. How use you for at Yahoo. 09:12 >> Haha. 09:19 >> I just remember when Gloria came on our team, she said, 09:22 well, I don't have a camera. I don't have a fancy phone. 09:26 I do have all these things. And I said that's OK, start 09:29 with what you have, which is what she did. And White has 09:34 stepped out in fact, following a long way. Haha. 09:38 >> Willingness that was part of being a part of the team. 09:42 Then yes, willing to praise the Lord that, you know, a single 09:45 he's brought a a team together. He's he's behind the scenes 09:49 working these things out. We're going to find out more 09:52 about this ministry and we hope you again share this program 09:56 with others. 09:58 >> Yes, as I said at the beginning, a lot of times we 10:00 forget about our children, our families at home. We're waiting 10:03 for us to get home from work, right? We understand you have 10:07 to work. But what do you do when you're not working or even 10:11 during your lunch hour, you can text your children if they're, 10:14 you know, of age and encourage them and sometimes solar to 10:18 impress us, too, just send a text to our sons and they are 10:22 like thank you, mom. I really needed that so that the Lord 10:26 inspire you just listen to the word of God. And also I wanted 10:30 to tell you that sometimes we run out of things to do with 10:34 our children. But we're going to share the website later on 10:37 this ministry, starting with chase us. There's a variety of 10:41 things that you can offer your children and are not going to 10:43 get tired of it because you know what? I myself have been 10:46 much mean to their material and also reading their material. 10:50 >> Haha. 10:53 >> And I have a gating your Web site and looking at the 10:56 material that you have for the children, not only in English, 11:00 but you're also building up in material and damage. So praise 11:03 the Lord for that.

I wrote the asked 17:35 the question is it knows that in March of 2020 17:40 because COVID was in the middle, something about a 17:43 virtual shouse school for children. Tell us about that. 17:47 >> Yes, so we started out by a little bit. I talk a little bit 17:51 of before was my husband is the pastor. And so the first week 17:55 everything was getting shut down in lockdown. We has been 17:59 sitting there going, oh, I've got to get this time and I've 18:01 got to get that down and always good to get the video set up so 18:05 we can have these the debate ability for people to be able 18:09 to still listen to the word. 18:10 And I was sitting there thinking, oh, this is awesome. 18:14 We have so much for the parents, but there is nothing. 18:17 Nothing for the kids. There's nothing in my kids loved going 18:21 to church. They love going and getting Bibles and listening to 18:23 the Bible stories and experiencing were worshipping 18:27 with other kids. And now that's not there. And so they're like, 18:30 what can we do? How many children do? I have 2 little 18:33 ones. 18:35 >> 5, not 4 year-old Zahara. One just turned 6. It was 5, 18:40 0, yeah. Haha. I yeah. 4 year-old daughter and a 5 18:51 year-old a 6 year-old Hastert pleads for Jobs turns 6. 18:59 Haha. 19:01 >> You know, it's exciting that to hear that your children at 19:05 that age anticipate going to church and enjoy it. So what it 19:10 tells me is that in your church or are people that do care and 19:13 prepare themselves with these bible stories and material for 19:17 the children and sometimes we run out of ideas of what to do 19:22 or which story to prepare. But you guys have a lot of 19:25 material on your website. 19:27 >> Yeah, we have coloring pages and that actually goes back to 19:30 when we were creating this program, right? We have had a 19:34 week before everything was we can do anything. So I was 19:38 praying. 19:40 >> Whats in your hand, which too often is my phone. Hey, 19:47 I can feel myself. 19:48 >> Saying something and I don't have any equipment, but that's 19:51 what I have. So I'll do that. And then I called one of my 19:54 other friends and I said, hey, can you do the Bible study 19:57 story? And she said, yeah, can do that. And I called another 19:59 friend said, Hey, can you do a craft for us? And she's yeah, 20:01 I can do that. And then my father-in-law is an amazing 20:04 artists. Tyson, would you draw a coloring page for us all out? 20:07 Yeah. I'll do that for us. It. Yeah. 20:10 >> Hey, we're all bored anyway. 20:17 When I called another friend said, hey, you can design a Web 20:21 site. He said, yeah, I can do that. And then another friend 20:24 said, hey, you can at our video. He said sure, I can do 20:26 that. And so I send all we we work together within a week. 20:30 We had a Web site. I hate that edited video. Everything I know 20:35 my other. My sister-in-law is a musician. She did all the 20:37 music. I asked what she was like. Yeah, I'll do that. 20:40 And we got this entire amazing team of people. Ye said, 20:44 yes, I'll do that. Let me help you. What can I do? And it was 20:48 so cool within a week he was saying before you just have to 20:54 be willing, I just connect the dots, put the people and he 20:57 just makes into exactly it makes it be yes. So this was 21:01 put together and a few. What will happen well. 21:05 >> Haha, I mean, if you go look at our first videos, 21:15 >> you can tell you I'm sitting in front of a of a river and 21:19 you hear each 21:20 her out and I'm like hello. Everyone was speaking loudly as 21:25 possible. So we have come a long way from there. I thought 21:29 it would just be a few weeks. I genuinely thought will be 21:32 done. I did. And I told her when she called me, I said 21:35 Ruthie, it is a new industry starting. Haha. Yeah, it was 21:44 not. I if you told me back then that where we would be now a 21:48 problem. Haha, I know what I'm so glad because we see weekend 21:55 testimonies. 21:56 >> Oh, man, I'm from children and from parents who say my 22:00 child chose to follow Jesus and to get baptized. I hear ya have 22:06 children who come up and say I was going through a really 22:09 tough time. In fact, we have somebody tell us recently we 22:12 did our this was 22:14 this was actually a few years ago, but they said they had 22:16 just had a family member passed away and they were really 22:20 struggling with it because it's hard. It's hard, especially as 22:23 children. You've not ever experienced that before. 22:26 So what do you do? And we that lesson that week was on death 22:31 and day. Listen to it. And it was such a comfort to them free 22:37 so long to be able to understand the, you know, 22:40 how much God loves them in a manner that a man in a land. 22:44 But you know what? I believe that the adults also benefit 22:48 from that, Ariel. 22:50 >> Because is it's the word of God and the word of that that's 22:53 not return. The boy, a man. I can't tell you how many 22:56 adults who I've run into his say, you know, I'm not a kid, 22:59 but I listen to it because it helps me understand the Bible 23:03 to a man. 23:05 >> As well as she was route the west sharing about the 23:10 beginnings standing by that river and 23:12 >> talking to the humble beginnings. 23:18 >> And it took me back. Sit back to your tech. Stick around 23:21 for 10. The small things like things God's hands. Look at 23:27 where you are right now. Influencing many children's 23:30 lives. 23:31 >> Yes, I want to know Raich. I mean, you're the older 23:33 sister. Haha, how how did you react to this? We're excited 23:41 now. Just say 23:42 come behind you. So you think it's great what they knew that 23:45 I was pretty much what I said. 23:47 >> He colony of all excited. 23:51 And I said don't ask me to help. Well, that's what I am. 23:56 Yeah. Hi, I'm not. I don't have time. I've got too many things 24:01 going on. Don't ask me to h***. They don't get that lead Iraq. 24:05 >> Haha. 24:09 >> It was really God. God has brought a team together and 24:12 none of us were super excited about helping at first because 24:15 we 24:17 we all are very busy and I'm a pediatrician. I'm homeschooling 24:20 my kids. I'm very involved at church. And I just thought how 24:23 can I add one more thing might play, but God laid a heavy 24:27 burden. And you know, when God opens the door, you don't say 24:32 no, you walk through it and God has made a way for all of us to 24:37 work together and it's been beautiful. And so, yeah, 24:40 I'm so excited to be part of the team. Yeah, I joined 24:43 because I didn't quite understand. 24:44 >> Who get it? 24:56 >> Also have a book that we offer at 03:00PM the blessing 25:00 of some of the goal. I love that you accepted. The 25:03 invitation is not known what to expect but that's how God 25:07 works, right? Yeah, he he call says, but he shows us the way. 25:11 >> And I just saying Gloria came, yes, so many people have 25:16 come to our team and they're all busy moms. Yes, they're all 25:22 involved in so many other things. But they put God first 25:26 2 and they're willing to be do what ever they can. Whether 25:30 something big, whether something little us all 25:33 together, we're able to make this successful. 25:36 >> You know, there are many people that are saying the same 25:38 thing or so busy. Many home schoolers also watch 3 a van 25:43 and those are family center. So so busy but are willing to 25:48 dedicate time and their talents to the Lord and you discover 25:52 more talent. And since you go forward in faith that this is a 25:56 calling from God. So why is programming for children so 26:01 important? 26:03 >> I'm a pediatrician 26:05 every day. I'm taking care of children who are facing 26:10 challenges that you and I didn't even dream existed when 26:14 we were children, 26:16 we're living at the end of time. Yes, and our children 26:21 need to know the 3 Angels messages want to be saved 26:24 human. 80% of adults today who are Christian 26:29 accepted Jesus before the age of 18. But we primarily focus 26:35 our evangelism on adult on that remaining 20%. But we really 26:39 need to be focusing on the children because that's where 26:41 80% of the next generation of Christians is coming from. 26:45 And it's vital. And that's actually what brought Rachel n. 26:49 >> Yes, was because we she had done a program that was really 26:53 geared towards of Angeles, tick a program for kids to help them 26:57 to understand annual in revelation which is like. 26:59 >> Crazy to think, you know, children because it's hard 27:03 enough sometimes for us that all. Yeah and revelation. 27:06 Lot of fear. But yeah, exactly. And so she had put together 27:10 this program just out of our back yard. 27:13 We wanted to do a vacation Bible school for kids and it 27:18 everything was locked down. So I had a pastor's wife who 27:22 had done a prophecy seminar at her church for kids. I said, 27:25 hey, why don't we video it? Let's do a virtual vbs. And the 27:28 thought was we do it for her church in my church. Wonderful 27:31 everything said, well, why don't we do it on starting with 27:33 Jesus? I said okay. Overnight we had 500 people sign up. 27:37 >> My family couldn't believe it. And we had really 27:40 advertised it and then. 27:42 >> So we we started releasing at Miracle story after Miracle 27:45 story. Literally. I've never been edited videos in my life 27:49 and I'm trying to edit these videos. It went around the 27:53 world. We have hit enclosed countries, FEMA. 27:56 >> And tacked on as things having watched this kid's 27:59 prophecy seminar. One was to prophesy 7. So this was in 2000 28:03 that we have slight 2020 sorry. Haha. 28:07 >> Hahaha. 28:13 >> It was in 2020 and we have subsequently through God's 28:16 grace refilled it with a little light studios. You know, 28:19 it is a top notch production that we're really seeing in 28:23 February of this year. Only man.

We know 30:04 somebody who has the skill set may be asked them. And and so I 30:09 called them and they say, yeah, I'm really interested. I call 30:12 my sister. She has a lot of friends. And she she's 30:14 connecting. Actually. She's the one who connected us to Gloria. 30:17 I'm a volunteer volunteer. And so has she. I'm Rachel 30:21 Connect with one of her friends and her friend was like, 30:24 hey, call Gloria. She would be amazing at this. And she is on 30:27 the hunt. And many of these volunteers we never actually 30:30 met. Wright was never met, Gloria. I mean, she was when 30:34 she started working with our ministry. And I don't think we 30:37 met for what, 3 or 4 months. I'm at I after. Yeah, I met you 30:41 and for the first time last year. Yeah. She's been working 30:43 with us for over a year in the yeah. You guys for 3 years. 30:46 >> Yeah. Whole. Wonderful. So the oh, yeah. What? How? 30:52 >> Why you're passionate about like sharing time in nature. 30:55 Tell us about that. Why I'm so passionate about it. 30:58 >> Sharing time and nature. They both revolve around God's 31:01 nature. So the their chance to bring that to the kids and just 31:06 help them to encourage the kids to just start time to see God 31:11 in may the nature around them. Yes, so it it and God has so 31:14 many treasures and got so many lessons for us in the U.S. King 31:18 Solomon with just study the and son because I want the kids to 31:23 to experience that is well to go out there and say, well, 31:25 what does God have to show me with the street? What is going 31:28 to show me with that cloud? What what is God? How is guide 31:32 here? You know, showing me these things. And and and he's 31:35 doing this for me. And that could be walking away with just 31:38 knowing that that nature is for them. It's a gift for a mask. 31:42 >> I soon learned this make in Rio. God's love for real. 31:45 Bring it to a level that they can see it. And yeah. 31:48 >> And kids or my kids are very the the their hands on. That's 31:53 right. And God has made nature very hands on to a cause. 31:57 I trees may can do all kinds of things that are just makes it 32:00 even more exciting. And I think that Gloria does that is so 32:03 amazing is that she not only creates these programs for 32:07 sharing time like encouraging. She also has other people 32:10 helping with that. But at the end of every single sharing 32:13 time, she's tells the kids to go out an end to explore got 32:18 station finals lessons and then to send them to her so that 32:22 they can be including. Yeah. So it's a it's an interactive 32:27 element of being able to be like, oh, yeah, we can find 32:32 these lessons. We can find these things and also be able 32:34 to lake show somebody like, oh, this is really what we found. 32:37 This lesson can can we share this lesson and it and you get 32:40 e-mails all the time. I had the kids wait for their picture to 32:44 show when I saw some yeah include their name and that's 32:48 the nature spotlight section that follows the sharing time. 32:50 Yes. And so it includes their name and the state or country 32:54 can be perceived a lot from defense as well with women and 32:57 then whatever picture they have or a video they can send either 33:00 one and they get so excited about that in mind. We've had 33:03 for a more and more and more tests we've had from all over 33:05 the world. So, yeah, we have we have some from just that. 33:09 I mean, I think there was just like so many different 33:11 countries. I yeah, every doorway gap. Laos years in 33:16 Tunisia. There's Australia. Bca states in the United States 33:21 United States. 33:22 >> Oh, my goodness or Canada. I think or something. And yeah, 33:25 yeah, that's incredible because you you didn't send flyers to 33:30 know those countries do not at all. So it's amazing that God 33:34 is doing this. Yeah, people can Yahoo shares. 33:40 >> And child painted a drawing of flood. The picture was so 33:47 it's nice that they're connecting not only watching 33:50 and looking in, you know, listening to it but actually 33:53 being interact a oh, yeah. So I really like the fact that 33:58 you have the opportunity or you get the opportunity for the 34:02 children to send in their aerial as well. Yeah, in song. 34:06 >> Outside. Yeah. I was going to take and they can send a 34:10 video. They can send a picture. They can send a drawing. 34:12 Yeah. They can send something that they made us so they get 34:16 all excited and you can send your video and thereby yeah, 34:19 hats from the very beginning has been our goal for it. 34:23 Not been dot, just be sitting there. And and, 34:27 >> you know, just watching just right, but actually being able 34:30 to 34:32 be part of the program to interactive Bible program so 34:36 that they can they can learn and share that 10. That's why 34:41 we have we have that. 34:43 >> Memory versus each week. They can send those in. They 34:46 can as and then there answers to the questions. Yes, you 34:49 shout outs yet. We do all of these things to be interactive 34:52 so that they can feel like this is my some think this is my 34:56 place and they can take ownership in the way of it and 34:59 encourages them to come back and learn more about God's 35:02 love. 35:03 >> For that and go shopping. That's great. And I want to 35:05 know. I know you did live events during COVID. Yeah, 35:10 but it said do you still do lives? Orie said all recording 35:13 them. 35:14 >> It's so it's all recorded. And we do have some live at the 35:17 yeah, Christmas pro we've had. So we've had some zoom because 35:21 we understand we are all in different places. Yes, we all 35:24 live in different states technology. Yeah. 35:27 >> We send it all to has it all like to look like we're all in 35:32 one place where you are not have poured in. 35:37 >> My office. All right. Sometimes it's chaos is not 35:40 your studio and that my studio in my office, which is right 35:43 next to my kids room. So you'll hear it. 35:46 >> Child will be like shaha. Yes. So that's that's where our 36:00 main story. 36:01 >> Yeah, yeah. It's very real is very it's very yes. It's 36:05 home grown blast. But it's been a blessing for my kids to Andy 36:11 because they look forward, especially when they're stuck 36:14 at home for some reason when they're sick or something else. 36:16 They love watching it and they love watching this glorious 36:19 time in this and this time and this Michelle time and 36:23 listening to all the songs and everything and they can't wait 36:26 to be able and we have to have a long commute to church. 36:28 We still have a bit of that commute and they'll be like 36:31 every time. Mom, can we watch starting with Jesus? Do 36:34 goodness. Lot. Haha. 36:38 >> Well, you know, what I like about this is that that you're 36:40 not just offering for people to join with you, but you also are 36:46 I to fund mission trips. I hear that you went to mission 36:50 trip out West. The quote, was that how did it go? 36:53 >> We went to Arizona Navajo Nation. 36:56 >> Harrison that, aha. 36:59 >> Haha. 37:05 >> Arizona. And that was about it. We had a lot of this 37:08 starting with Jesus kids join. It was a mission. It was 37:13 mission to where they were able to bring a vbs program to the 37:15 community kids out in the Navajo Nation. One that was and 37:19 we just want to encourage we we just want to encourage kids to 37:22 be able to share Jesus 37:25 abroad. But, you know, some are out, but then also understand 37:29 that they can do that same thing in their own backyards 37:31 into that same thing in their own community and des Foster 37:35 that that the spirit of serving and being able to serve it in 37:39 their own communities. And it's just excellent and not having 37:42 to not having to have a fancy thing. They were able to learn 37:46 things up, just being able to get practical hands on hips for 37:53 their own church for their own neighborhood. Yeah. That was 37:57 that was amazing. Yeah. Because for the vbs we had kids 38:01 greeters. We had kids helping with the craft kids helping 38:05 with with the nature. Not on it was it's all hands. So they 38:09 learned to put together to to carry out a vbs program. 38:13 That's right. Pretty amazing needed. And they thought the 38:17 you know, they felt part of the that BSA does something in the 38:21 evening. I have to say was that was Sony. Alright. Yeah. 38:24 Chair. Haha. I was just like this is the coolest thing. 38:28 I do this with my kids. What was it that you were doing in 38:31 the evening? Yes. So we had this little section right 38:34 before worship. At the end of the day, we had a dove briefing 38:37 time that something that that my kids and I we do have homes 38:40 to figured. All right. Well, maybe that will one with the 38:42 missionary kids. Let's let's be brief. And it was wonderful 38:46 time. We talked about the miracles that God had done 38:48 during the day. And we talked about blessings that we have 38:51 seen and we talked about problems, not only problems but 38:54 solutions. How do you guys how can we solve this problem with 38:57 that kind of thing? And we ended with kudos. I saw them 39:02 for anything. It does do something. And I saw you know, 39:04 so, yeah, yeah. And it was very nice because Sen it started, 39:10 it started adult lead. And that eventually came just became 39:13 child lead. Tough conversations. And I'm not 39:16 stoppable. I believe that's what we should do at every turn 39:19 or 2. 39:21 >> You know, there's a great need in many churches said I 39:23 have time a school teacher are, you know, you need to 39:29 pray about the Lloyds, sending the right people to teach the 39:32 children in churches, but is very good that we get the 39:36 opportunity to our children at our local churches. And that's 39:40 why I admire about her local church here in Thomson Ill, 39:42 some of that and as church and the children grow up in there, 39:47 you've been working here with at 3 BNA with us. So that is 39:52 definitely an investment that we want to do 39:55 dedicate time to our children and half the patients in and 39:59 working with them because you are going to end up being so 40:02 blessed. 40:03 >> Our feet we need to talk about. 40:07 >> The volunteers that responded after you were here 40:12 at 3ABN. Yes. 40:13 >> We were so blast. There is at last time we were here, 40:17 we had Ali who called us at our e-mailed us or emailed us and 40:21 said hi, I would be willing to help. And she for a very long 40:26 time took care of our shout out now. So every time we have a 40:31 child can every week we have a question time and then the 40:34 children can send in their answers to those questions and 40:38 then and then I'll do a shout out. 40:40 This person answer their questions and then and what 40:45 they do is so we have a special e-mail. I was getting getting 40:49 overwhelmed. I couldn't respond to all the emails and I just it 40:53 was just too much. So she took that for what I was doing that 40:57 for a long time. Great. We up. 40:59 >> Appreciate it so much from it. And cow how old she was. 41:03 She was in the 1990's. Yeah. 41:06 >> Working on the cause yet hazing. We were so blessed to 41:14 have her on our team. And we really, really genuinely 41:17 appreciated the help that she was able to get for as long as 41:20 she was able to get it as the ice a lot. 41:23 >> Now the video that I saw was very interesting. You did. 41:27 It just seems like it was Aikman mainly children doing 41:31 that and this and it caught my attention that one of them was 41:34 a craft and a high heat. I think youth showing how to 41:38 make something with baking soda into what is that called? 41:42 That's called a time slot. 41:43 >> And doing everything. And the next thing to do as you 41:49 add the coloring in this 41:51 and it went through the whole instructions to and then you 41:54 add this it and seemed like she was unsure hunter here, right? 42:00 >> Figured it out. 42:06 >> I saw the Jen doing this to playing with it and yeah, 42:10 and playing with this thing. I mean, it was like she was 42:13 having. 42:15 >> A moment I have made this and I'm having my phone within 42:17 and around. And then he said and when I'm done with it, 42:21 I put it away so it doesn't fall on the road. Haha, I said, 42:25 wow, this is this is fantastic. Yeah. Well, I believe this is 42:29 the lord. 42:30 >> Leading and and it's just say that sometimes the simple 42:35 things around the house. Yeah, you can just grab them 42:39 and use them for your children. Now, what I would like to ask 42:43 is what the children say. I mean, we had given him a lot 42:47 of things to do and we share a lot of things about Jesus and a 42:51 lot of ideas how to connect with with God. But what are 42:56 some of the testimonies? How do I know that my child? 42:59 >> It's actually connecting with Jesus. Can I quickly 43:02 answer that? And I'll let you use to I'll just share my own. 43:06 We of course, we have testimonies from other 43:08 children. But what's near and dear to my heart right now, 43:11 of course, are my own children. I have an 11 year-old and a 13 43:15 year-old who I dearly love and it's been it was this program 43:21 that inspired my then 9 year-old who is now 11 to say, 43:25 Mommy, I want to be baptized, see seminar and I could see a 43:31 change in him. And so he was baptized him and bring it 43:35 amazing to me to see him wanting to have devotions and 43:40 saying, Mommy, I want to be ready for haven't ma man. 43:44 When I read my lesson, it makes me want to sit study the spirit 43:48 of privacy. And he's just really grasping on to that 43:52 beauty of being a Christian and that for me as a mom. Yes, 43:56 so important. Yes, and my daughter has been helping with 43:59 these and she loves helping with starting with cheeses and 44:04 meats. Some really solid friends through this right now. 44:08 The ends are so important and she's 13 and friends are big 44:12 deal. Yes, for example, she's connected with Gloria's 44:15 daughters through this and they got a prayer chain going know 44:18 their prey. 44:20 >> He seeing my children. 44:24 >> Benefiting and making choices for cheeses is so 44:28 important. Men and we're getting other children. I had 44:32 a patient in the hospital recently. I walked in the room. 44:35 They said. 44:37 >> You're from starting with Jesus. I thought they might 44:39 have thought I was like, nah, he haha. 44:44 >> That's my sister. And but they were so excited. They 44:48 said, Oh, my kids, watch your vvs program over and over again 44:53 and they love the part about your kids getting up and having 44:56 devotions in the morning. So making an impact. 45:01 >> I'm an old run. Yes, I wanted to share my nice. 45:05 She has leukemia or just turned 3. And so is it to her? 45:11 Her world has to be very it's a very delicate situations 45:16 because there's lots of germs and says she hurt her health is 45:19 is number one priority. So she can't be with other kids. 45:22 Can't go to church to be with SAB school. Not at this moment 45:25 anyway. And so starting with Jesus has been such a blessing 45:28 for her for her family and she just watches it over and over 45:32 again. She sings. 45:33 >> The hymns in the in the at the hospital is just it's a big 45:37 deal for her and it's a big blessing. What if? 45:40 Yeah, and I would say with with my kids because it 45:44 my kids are younger. You don't see the big, big changes. 45:47 But what I do here is the hymns being sung. Oh, yeah. And I 45:51 know we've kind of talked a lot about the videos that we do 45:54 each week. But we have a daily podcast that is every single 45:58 day. They can listen to their devotions and they can spend 46:03 that time starting their day with Jesus and that that 46:07 devotional podcast. My kids have been learning the member 46:12 and a member of or songs that have been numerous songs. 46:14 Yes, they have music that to him that they focus on every 2 46:18 weeks ago knew him. 46:20 >> My kids know those temps out open the book and start singing 46:23 and then and I'm like, Oh, yeah, we did do that. Well, 46:26 okay. That's why you know that, too. That's why him and was on 46:29 a mazy because I believe there's a power in news that 46:32 there's a power in kit when you're going through tough 46:35 times. Yeah. Being able to think of a song, yes, it's that 46:39 OK, JSA I can do this through. Jesus is the hour. I can get 46:44 through this situation. And and even if you're not singing out 46:47 loud, remembering those songs. Yeah. And yeah. So really 46:52 quick. 46:53 >> Where did the name starting with the says come from? 46:55 >> He used to be called a place to do something that was 47:02 already because was a good. We have a place to do 47:05 something. What I had no time to plan places on the places. 47:12 I think that we're going hot. But as we started to realize we 47:16 this is going to last a little longer. 47:18 >> That we we should probably name this something that really 47:21 encourages kids. Not just a place you something right, 47:26 something that is focused on Jesus. My husband was actually 47:29 the one who came up with a name. He was like, well, 47:31 what about starting with Jesus? Because you are trying to 47:34 encourage everyone to start everything that they do with 47:37 it. Jesus. Very good. And so he was on the thought of it 47:41 race to raise the Lord. And Chris Miller takes a team that 47:44 takes that. That's what we want to take a moment here, too. 47:48 >> I'm sure the contact information again of how you 47:51 can send in your question or comment, but also the contact 47:54 information for you starting with Jesus.

We have one for 49:43 really 0 to 3, 4, years old when it repeats. So what we 49:48 have, it really says 2 to 3 times a week and they'll just 49:51 repeat that and what that's what my daughter started with. 49:53 And she loved little kids really like that repetition. 49:56 That's right. So they repeat it. They do the first one in 49:58 the second when the new black to the first one in the second. 50:00 And it's so much fun that you won't even mind repeating it 50:03 yourself. That's right. 50:04 >> I miss Ashley did. That was amazing. We have that. We also 50:07 have one for juniors. That's a problem. How long?

And that's 3 years. 50:58 >> And there was like a million downloads. What was that? 51:02 I had a million-dollar downloads for our podcast, 51:05 marvelous phrase. So. 51:07 >> Now you join audio furs. What is to deal with it a 51:11 little? 51:12 >> When we first started and it realize that this is going to 51:17 be a long term, we need donations in order to be 51:20 sustainable way. So we wanted a way to make them tax 51:25 deductible. But we ourselves were not a 501, C 3 at that 51:28 point. And I'm very good friends with ouster Wong. 51:31 He's the executive director for adding to her son. He has 51:34 children who were listening to our podcast. So he offered to 51:38 let us start with them and tell we could grow large enough to 51:42 be our own 501, C 3. So we have been with audio verse for the 51:46 last 3 years. We just recently filed for our own 5, 0, and co 51:50 are easily run out on around, but we're still very connected 51:55 to it. A verse there ouster long as on our board. 51:58 >> We're still very involved. They're still very much 52:01 mentoring us. It has been such a huge blessing working with 52:04 them to know we could not. We could not be where we're at 52:08 without their guidance. They gave us so much support. 52:11 Just guidance wisely. We we know what we're doing and they 52:15 would say, oh, well, let me help you with that. This is 52:18 this is how you and this is how you do that work. And this is. 52:21 And then they they supported us by by promoting our materials 52:24 on their platform and just making it a whole environment, 52:29 just friendliness. 52:30 >> And openness. And we just super appreciated working with 52:33 I mean, to show you how novice we were. We didn't even know 52:36 how to run a board meeting. Yeah, yeah. Our first don't 52:39 know.
