Right now it's a children's ministry building, but that will not last long. This room has served us well. We've gone to, we went to two services last year. We'll go to two services next week.

5. "The Olympics launched this past week. You've heard some discussions and you've seen that the news a hundred years ago, 1924, there was a man who won a gold medal for England. It was in Paris, 1924, Paris Olympics. His name was Eric Lidell. He was actually the first person born in China to ever win a medal, was a missionary. And he won a gold medal in track immediately after the Olympics. There's a whole book called Chariots of Fire in a movie. You can further context if you want to look into that. But what impresses me the most about Eric Lidell in his testimony is after the Olympics, he goes back to the mission field in China, where he was raised, where his parents were. Why did he go there? Because Matthew 28 says, says, as you go, go and make disciples of all nations. So he goes back to China and he teaches in a school until the Japanese invade his territory. And he's put into an internment prison camp where he dies at the age of 45. He gave his life, a gold Olympic gold medalist. the end of his life, the reward that he got was not a gold medal. That was not the most precious possession. That Eric had at the moment is that it was the possession that Jesus gave him, the inheritance that Jesus gave him. His rewards were great and heavy. He died at age 45, World War II prison camp. What's God calling you to do? It may not be to go to China. But what does it look like for you to reach them in your community?"
