If you're in a dark place right now, God, I pray for those who are in darkness right now. Maybe they've lost hope. I pray you would feel the presence of God right now. I pray that you would feel the peace of God right now. As the choir sings one more verse, there's still time for you to come and connect with Jesus. Of course, you can connect there at your seat, But perhaps this burden should be shared and not carried alone as we sing. [00:55:49] (59 seconds)  #FindHopeInJesus

I'd like to point did did you hear gift story? Yeah. Did you see her smile? This is it's a contagious smile. It's not uncommon to see poverty like that matched with a smile like that. We praise God that God's not done with gift story. She said it in the video. Her house is still small. She still has many challenges. What's the difference? What is it that's putting a smile on her face? It's the hope of Jesus. We invite you forward. Maybe you just came here and were dragged here. Come accept the hope of Jesus. Maybe you need prayer, strength from within. That only comes from his holy spirit. [00:50:23] (50 seconds)  #SmileOfHope

Lord, I pray over everyone that's responded. I pray it for those even in their seats remaining. Father, we pray. We pray that you would meet them wherever they're at. Father, I pray for those who need to put their faith in Jesus. I pray they wouldn't leave this place without talking to someone. So even as we conclude this time of altar call forward, pray that they would find someone before leaving this building so that they too can grow deeply and and strengthened from your holy spirit living within them. Thank you in Jesus' name. Amen. [00:58:07] (58 seconds)  #RespondAndConnect

I told you we wouldn't be asking for money for the church today, but we will be asking for money for the Amani Malele children organization. For those who give normally, that's fine. I'm not telling you not to not to worship in that way. But the offering plate that goes by, all going to Imani, not a dime is staying here. I wanna encourage you to give more than you planned on. I can only say that when we're not asking for the church. Right, Harvey? Otherwise, people say, oh, he's talking about money all the time. [01:00:57] (38 seconds)  #SupportAmaniKids

And then I wanna tell you she leads humbly because I was there at Shiloh, who's generously taking care of them right now, Shiloh Youth Ranch, and they were giving out chores. And the president's wife, the leader of the entire children's portion of the organization, was assigned the chore of cleaning the toilet. I couldn't resist in Luganda, I was, you know, I'm you're going to clean the toilet? And she said, oh, yes. I have to set the example. That's how they lead powerfully, and I'm grateful for your partnership. [01:11:01] (44 seconds)  #LeadWithHumility

If God's moving in your life, if he's moving in your heart and you're feeling him say, go forward. Trust someone else with this burden. We're here to walk with you through every burden, every challenge. And so I invite you, release your grip on what's gripping you. Release it into God's hands. We're here to help you. We're here to walk with you. [00:54:33] (67 seconds)  #ReleaseYourBurden

Lord, we pray over each and every one of these children. We pray for good health. We pray for for families back home. We pray for your holy spirit to work powerfully through each and every one of them. We pray, father, for their education as they continue schooling as they're on tour. We pray that you would give them clarity of thought. Father, we pray for every single adult, chaperone, every worker. Father, we pray that you would empower them. Give them patience, father. These are cute children, but they can certainly they're still children. So, father, we pray [01:16:40] (36 seconds)  #PrayForTheChildren

And then Moses is a pastor. He's they call bishop because he's a church planting pastor over 350 churches, not just in Uganda, but Tanzania, Sudan, Republic Of Congo, Kenya. And God uses this organization so mightily. So I'm gonna pray, and then you're gonna dig deep, And then I'm gonna tell you just a little more. Lord, we just we thank you for what you're doing in Uganda. We thank you for every way that this choir has ministered to us this morning. Father, we know that this is just a tiny piece of what is going on there. [01:08:18] (43 seconds)  #UgandaChurchImpact
