WEBVTT

00:00:06.059 --> 00:00:07.959
<v Tyler Lynde>So who are you?

00:00:08.460 --> 00:00:12.038
<v Rachel Hicks>Hi,<laugh> for those of you who don't know, my name is Rachel Hicks.

00:00:12.039 --> 00:00:16.280
<v Rachel Hicks>My mom is Kathleen Hicks and I used to go to Trinity since I was 10.

00:00:16.839 --> 00:00:16.839
<v Rachel Hicks>Yes.

00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:17.320
<v Rachel Hicks>Oh yeah.

00:00:17.379 --> 00:00:18.079
<v Rachel Hicks>For a long time.

00:00:18.350 --> 00:00:18.640
<v Tyler Lynde>Yeah.

00:00:18.699 --> 00:00:22.510
<v Tyler Lynde>And when we first came to RA to Trinity, we got to know Rachel A.

00:00:22.510 --> 00:00:22.670
<v Tyler Lynde>Little bit.

00:00:22.690 --> 00:00:30.350
<v Tyler Lynde>She was actually like a, our first little like intern type of situation where she was really helpful with me.

00:00:30.350 --> 00:00:35.869
<v Tyler Lynde>And I asked her to do all kinds of copying and, uh, you know, getting things ready for children's ministry and stuff like that.

00:00:36.109 --> 00:00:42.859
<v Tyler Lynde>And she did such a great job and we always knew that she had a real call on her life to minister, to people.

00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:45.939
<v Tyler Lynde>She was involved very, very much with Robin Chris and others.

00:00:47.020 --> 00:00:50.658
<v Tyler Lynde>Um, so how did you kind of know what God was calling you to?

00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:53.700
<v Rachel Hicks>So actually it started with Robin and Chris.

00:00:54.460 --> 00:00:58.850
<v Rachel Hicks>Um, when I first moved here, my mom forced me to go to junior camp.

00:00:58.990 --> 00:01:02.850
<v Rachel Hicks>So if you have kids, you should force your children to go because it changed my life.

00:01:03.909 --> 00:01:09.250
<v Rachel Hicks>And before I thought I knew Jesus and at camp, I had a real encounter with the Lord.

00:01:10.030 --> 00:01:13.090
<v Rachel Hicks>And actually my mom was the one that prayed with me to receive Jesus.

00:01:13.950 --> 00:01:20.959
<v Rachel Hicks>And after that, Rob and Chris started asking me to help in the inner city doing children's programs and doing ministry.

00:01:21.019 --> 00:01:29.480
<v Rachel Hicks>And so I got to see, um, the faith walked out and from that moment I knew that was something I wanted to do for the rest of my life.

00:01:29.659 --> 00:01:33.950
<v Rachel Hicks>So everything that I sought out to do was with ministry in mind.

00:01:34.230 --> 00:01:39.709
<v Rachel Hicks>I wanted to, uh, yeah, it was just my way of God has done so much for me.

00:01:40.609 --> 00:01:46.870
<v Rachel Hicks>Why can't I go out and do something for someone else and share the love and share the hope that God's given me so

00:01:47.189 --> 00:01:47.189
<v Tyler Lynde>Awesome.

00:01:47.191 --> 00:01:47.709
<v Tyler Lynde>That's awesome.

00:01:47.710 --> 00:01:49.510
<v Tyler Lynde>And I'm sure the message this morning spoke to you.

00:01:49.609 --> 00:01:50.030
<v Tyler Lynde>Oh yeah.

00:01:50.150 --> 00:01:50.269
<v Tyler Lynde>So good.

00:01:50.271 --> 00:01:55.299
<v Tyler Lynde>Because you, you<laugh>, you guys have been applying this in your current setting, a lot of these types of things.

00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:57.659
<v Tyler Lynde>So, so where are you serving the Lord now?

00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:03.379
<v Rachel Hicks>So right now I serve the Lord in a place called KA Kong in Cambodia, which is in Southeast Asia.

00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:07.099
<v Rachel Hicks>And so our heart here is multiplication, church planting.

00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:14.969
<v Rachel Hicks>And so every year we set a goal of how many house churches that we want to create and establish.

00:02:15.310 --> 00:02:26.530
<v Rachel Hicks>And we partner with the local church to bring people into the fellowship because in Cambodia it's been shown that lots of people come to Jesus, but they don't stay there because there's no fellowship.

00:02:26.531 --> 00:02:28.409
<v Rachel Hicks>There's no connection with the church.

00:02:29.069 --> 00:02:34.800
<v Rachel Hicks>And so we knew that if we wanted our church multiplication to work, we needed to partner with the local church.

00:02:35.219 --> 00:02:46.280
<v Rachel Hicks>And so actually in KA Kong, um, there are 117 villages and we are partnering with many churches, 53 different churches in order to create house churches.

00:02:46.620 --> 00:02:51.949
<v Rachel Hicks>And so far we have been able to create seven multiplication house churches.

00:02:52.629 --> 00:02:52.629
<v Rachel Hicks>Wow.

00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:55.189
<v Rachel Hicks>We've been there for one year, so God is good.

00:02:55.550 --> 00:02:55.550
<v Rachel Hicks><laugh>

00:02:55.819 --> 00:02:56.110
<v Tyler Lynde>Amen.

00:02:56.930 --> 00:02:57.750
<v Tyler Lynde>Praise God.

00:02:58.740 --> 00:02:59.030
<v Tyler Lynde>Yeah.

00:02:59.139 --> 00:03:01.759
<v Tyler Lynde>So, um, how did you get to Cambodia?

00:03:01.870 --> 00:03:04.159
<v Tyler Lynde>What was the, yeah, the pathway there?

00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:13.599
<v Rachel Hicks>Um, so Rob and Chris, once again, when I was younger, they said, Hey, our daughter is going with this organization called youth with a mission on a mission trip.

00:03:13.620 --> 00:03:14.400
<v Rachel Hicks>You should go with her.

00:03:14.939 --> 00:03:19.590
<v Rachel Hicks>So I ended up going on my first mission trip to Dominican Republic with Y a M.

00:03:20.090 --> 00:03:22.469
<v Rachel Hicks>And that's how I heard about Y a M for the first time.

00:03:22.930 --> 00:03:26.509
<v Rachel Hicks>So then I was praying and asking the Lord what I needed to do.

00:03:26.969 --> 00:03:28.870
<v Rachel Hicks>And I felt like Bible school was it.

00:03:28.889 --> 00:03:35.349
<v Rachel Hicks>So I actually have a four year degree from Carson Newman, but after I graduated, I just needed something deeper.

00:03:35.550 --> 00:03:38.259
<v Rachel Hicks>I wanted to go deeper in my relationship with the Lord.

00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:49.099
<v Rachel Hicks>And so I heard about YWA M's discipleship training school, which is a five month program where the first three months you're doing lectures, you're learning about Jesus, the Bible.

00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:52.939
<v Rachel Hicks>And then the last two, you're actually in a country applying what you've just learned.

00:03:53.520 --> 00:04:00.969
<v Rachel Hicks>And for me, we went to Cambodia and as soon as we set foot in the village, the Lord spoke to me and said, you're not gonna leave.

00:04:00.971 --> 00:04:01.930
<v Rachel Hicks>You're gonna come back.

00:04:02.229 --> 00:04:05.050
<v Rachel Hicks>So I knew that this was where I was called to be.

00:04:05.590 --> 00:04:07.569
<v Tyler Lynde>And you've been there now for several years, right?

00:04:07.889 --> 00:04:08.490
<v Rachel Hicks>Uh, almost five,

00:04:08.509 --> 00:04:09.330
<v Tyler Lynde>Almost five years.

00:04:09.330 --> 00:04:10.530
<v Tyler Lynde>That's incredible.

00:04:10.830 --> 00:04:17.680
<v Tyler Lynde>So, um, went through, you know, had COVID, uh, not had COVID, but COVID came across the world.

00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:22.680
<v Tyler Lynde>Obviously Cambodia was affected by that, but you guys took a proactive stance.

00:04:22.860 --> 00:04:24.838
<v Tyler Lynde>You did something very unique during that time.

00:04:25.100 --> 00:04:28.040
<v Rachel Hicks>So, um, COVID hit us a little later than America.

00:04:28.338 --> 00:04:33.430
<v Rachel Hicks>So we were hearing about it, but we didn't, we didn't see it until, uh, several months later.

00:04:33.569 --> 00:04:40.149
<v Rachel Hicks>And when it hit, Cambodia hit really hard because the medical and uh, care in Cambodia is not the same.

00:04:40.370 --> 00:04:48.629
<v Rachel Hicks>As in America, we are very, uh, grateful to be in, in the country that we are, and to have, uh, the ability to go to the doctor when we need to.

00:04:48.930 --> 00:04:51.699
<v Rachel Hicks>So we started to see the need in Cambodia.

00:04:52.259 --> 00:04:56.459
<v Rachel Hicks>Um, people were going hungry because the government shut down factories.

00:04:56.769 --> 00:04:58.540
<v Rachel Hicks>This is how people were making their living.

00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:00.300
<v Rachel Hicks>And so people were hungry.

00:05:00.740 --> 00:05:04.060
<v Rachel Hicks>Children were starving, um, children weren't getting education.

00:05:04.278 --> 00:05:10.689
<v Rachel Hicks>And so we came together as a group, there was 11 of us and we started seeking the Lord, like, what are we gonna do?

00:05:10.750 --> 00:05:12.449
<v Rachel Hicks>We can't just sit here and do nothing.

00:05:12.550 --> 00:05:14.850
<v Rachel Hicks>We can't just pray about it and not do anything.

00:05:15.430 --> 00:05:17.449
<v Rachel Hicks>And so the Lord gave us multiple steps.

00:05:17.670 --> 00:05:20.528
<v Rachel Hicks>And so one of'em was we were going to do food relief.

00:05:21.069 --> 00:05:25.250
<v Rachel Hicks>And so we found churches throughout Cambodia that was willing to partner with us.

00:05:26.028 --> 00:05:34.680
<v Rachel Hicks>And together, we were able to help over 750 families and connect them with the local church, because that was another thing we didn't wanna just leave them.

00:05:35.139 --> 00:05:37.160
<v Rachel Hicks>And so, yeah, it was good.

00:05:38.420 --> 00:05:46.028
<v Rachel Hicks>So another thing that we felt the Lord tell us to do is we need to disciple, but as a foreigner, they were afraid of me.

00:05:46.029 --> 00:05:48.028
<v Rachel Hicks>They're afraid of foreigners with COVID.

00:05:48.410 --> 00:05:50.350
<v Rachel Hicks>So they wouldn't let me in the villages.

00:05:51.269 --> 00:05:53.310
<v Rachel Hicks>Um, so we said, we gotta bring people to the base.

00:05:53.730 --> 00:06:00.639
<v Rachel Hicks>And so we decided to start a Bible, uh, school, and then we invited 11 students to live with us.

00:06:01.060 --> 00:06:03.720
<v Rachel Hicks>And we did daily discipleship with these students.

00:06:04.100 --> 00:06:06.040
<v Rachel Hicks>And in the mornings, they would learn about Jesus.

00:06:06.420 --> 00:06:11.879
<v Rachel Hicks>And then in the afternoons, they would learn computer skills, English skills, a variety of different things.

00:06:12.100 --> 00:06:13.639
<v Rachel Hicks>And so that was for five months.

00:06:13.740 --> 00:06:18.870
<v Rachel Hicks>So those were the two big things that we felt like the Lord tell us to step out in and help.

00:06:19.300 --> 00:06:19.588
<v Tyler Lynde>Yeah.

00:06:19.769 --> 00:06:27.709
<v Tyler Lynde>And there was one, she was telling me the story the other day, there was one girl that came specifically to the, uh, to the, to be a part of this.

00:06:28.449 --> 00:06:30.509
<v Tyler Lynde>And it was kind of a unique situation.

00:06:30.990 --> 00:06:31.509
<v Tyler Lynde>And why was that?

00:06:31.528 --> 00:06:32.269
<v Tyler Lynde>Her grandfather,

00:06:32.730 --> 00:06:36.899
<v Rachel Hicks>Her grandfather, um, is one of the religious leaders in the Buddhist temple.

00:06:37.480 --> 00:06:43.459
<v Rachel Hicks>And so he did not appreciate Christianity, but she said, I'm going to be learning English.

00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:47.579
<v Rachel Hicks>So you should let me go because I'll have more opportunity in the workforce.

00:06:47.879 --> 00:06:48.860
<v Rachel Hicks>So he said, okay, fine.

00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:50.180
<v Rachel Hicks>You can go learn English.

00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:57.528
<v Rachel Hicks>So we had to make sure she really learned English, but during, but in the morning, she started to learn about God.

00:06:58.230 --> 00:07:06.009
<v Rachel Hicks>And it turns out that as a kid, she, um, spirits would come and visit her and they would give her words.

00:07:06.269 --> 00:07:14.600
<v Rachel Hicks>And, and she became known as this person that was able to, Rum, give words to people and speak into people's lives from these spirits.

00:07:14.939 --> 00:07:16.279
<v Rachel Hicks>And she was terrified of that.

00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:18.079
<v Rachel Hicks>Not, not good spirits, not good spirits.

00:07:18.180 --> 00:07:19.839
<v Rachel Hicks>She was terrified of these spirits.

00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:22.160
<v Rachel Hicks>Um, definitely from the enemy.

00:07:22.540 --> 00:07:31.589
<v Rachel Hicks>And so at one point in her story, she met a missionary and this person gave her what she came to find out was the book of Luke.

00:07:32.170 --> 00:07:34.670
<v Rachel Hicks>And so she read the book of Luke, right?

00:07:34.850 --> 00:07:36.110
<v Rachel Hicks>As Jesus is dying.

00:07:36.449 --> 00:07:39.269
<v Rachel Hicks>And she was like, oh my goodness, what happened to Jesus?

00:07:39.410 --> 00:07:40.269
<v Rachel Hicks>What's going on?

00:07:40.350 --> 00:07:41.189
<v Rachel Hicks>I need to find out.

00:07:41.410 --> 00:07:48.660
<v Rachel Hicks>And so she told everyone all that she had been reading and her grandfather burned the Bible and said, you can't read it anymore.

00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:53.620
<v Rachel Hicks>And so, uh, that night she was like, I need to find this book again.

00:07:53.660 --> 00:07:54.899
<v Rachel Hicks>I need to finish the story.

00:07:55.379 --> 00:07:57.100
<v Rachel Hicks>I need to find out what happens to Jesus.

00:07:57.879 --> 00:08:03.819
<v Rachel Hicks>And so, uh, later on she, the spirits would come to her and she would cry the name of Jesus.

00:08:04.160 --> 00:08:10.370
<v Rachel Hicks>And at one point, Jesus came to her as she was dreaming and chased all the spirits away.

00:08:11.029 --> 00:08:13.370
<v Rachel Hicks>And so, yeah, yeah, God is good.

00:08:13.870 --> 00:08:21.529
<v Rachel Hicks>So when she came to our Bible school, she was like, I know nothing about Christianity, but I know that Jesus can do things that other spirits cannot do.

00:08:21.910 --> 00:08:23.329
<v Rachel Hicks>And so I need to know more about it.

00:08:23.389 --> 00:08:25.879
<v Rachel Hicks>So the first week she was just like listening.

00:08:26.300 --> 00:08:31.319
<v Rachel Hicks>And the second week we talked on the father, heart of God and it completely changed her life.

00:08:31.379 --> 00:08:34.639
<v Rachel Hicks>And she said, I want, I wanna know Jesus, I wanna be baptized.

00:08:35.178 --> 00:08:39.720
<v Rachel Hicks>And so at the end of the school, um, we said, you know, you can stay here and learn more.

00:08:39.740 --> 00:08:42.080
<v Rachel Hicks>And she said, no, I have to tell my family about Jesus.

00:08:42.779 --> 00:08:44.870
<v Rachel Hicks>And she chose to go back to her village.

00:08:45.629 --> 00:08:46.269
<v Rachel Hicks>Um, yeah.

00:08:46.270 --> 00:08:52.308
<v Rachel Hicks>And tell her grandfather and her family about Jesus, uh, and the, the changes that happened in her life.

00:08:52.779 --> 00:08:53.070
<v Tyler Lynde>Yeah.

00:08:53.071 --> 00:08:54.389
<v Tyler Lynde>That's so amazing to me.

00:08:55.289 --> 00:08:56.919
<v Tyler Lynde>Jesus appeared to her.

00:08:58.549 --> 00:09:02.009
<v Tyler Lynde>You don't think he's wanting to reach people, come on.

00:09:02.070 --> 00:09:03.250
<v Tyler Lynde>If he's invading dreams.

00:09:04.049 --> 00:09:04.049
<v Tyler Lynde>Yeah.

00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:05.529
<v Tyler Lynde>He's wanting to reach people.

00:09:05.909 --> 00:09:07.330
<v Tyler Lynde>How does he want to use us for that?

00:09:07.769 --> 00:09:07.769
<v Tyler Lynde>Yeah.

00:09:08.090 --> 00:09:09.330
<v Tyler Lynde>It's using her for sure.

00:09:10.070 --> 00:09:17.200
<v Tyler Lynde>So, uh, tell us now you, uh, you realize that there's a need for training mm-hmm<affirmative> for pastors and ministers, right?

00:09:17.308 --> 00:09:17.600
<v Rachel Hicks>Yeah.

00:09:17.940 --> 00:09:19.399
<v Rachel Hicks>So a lot of you may not know.

00:09:19.759 --> 00:09:22.200
<v Rachel Hicks>Um, but during the seventies there was a massive genocide.

00:09:22.580 --> 00:09:27.240
<v Rachel Hicks>And one of the main things, the goal of this genocide was to wipe out educated people.

00:09:27.779 --> 00:09:31.960
<v Rachel Hicks>And so the part of that was monks ed, uh, religious people.

00:09:32.289 --> 00:09:34.389
<v Rachel Hicks>And so Christianity was wiped out.

00:09:34.740 --> 00:09:40.428
<v Rachel Hicks>They predicted about 90% of Christianity was gone, um, because of the genocide.

00:09:40.808 --> 00:09:50.029
<v Rachel Hicks>And so, because of that, when they started recovering from this genocide, um, they realized they have no Bible teachers, they have no ability, there's no resources.

00:09:50.710 --> 00:09:53.100
<v Rachel Hicks>Um, and they didn't have the Bible in their own language.

00:09:53.519 --> 00:10:02.620
<v Rachel Hicks>And so the organization I work with has helped partner with a Y cliff Bible translators, and we have finished, um, the, my Bible.

00:10:03.299 --> 00:10:03.539
<v Rachel Hicks>Uh, woo.

00:10:03.730 --> 00:10:04.019
<v Rachel Hicks>Yeah.

00:10:05.058 --> 00:10:05.539
<v Rachel Hicks>It's so exciting.

00:10:05.889 --> 00:10:06.340
<v Tyler Lynde>Come on.

00:10:06.779 --> 00:10:06.779
<v Tyler Lynde><laugh>

00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:10.529
<v Rachel Hicks>So, uh, it's a lot of work, but we've been able to do that.

00:10:10.629 --> 00:10:18.850
<v Rachel Hicks>And so this year, actually we partner with the Gideons and they donated free Bibles so that we can pass them out in the villages.

00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:19.250
<v Rachel Hicks>Yeah.

00:10:19.669 --> 00:10:28.159
<v Rachel Hicks>So the Lord is doing so much, um, but definitely combating Bible poverty and trying to bring teachers and leaders there to train.

00:10:28.509 --> 00:10:28.799
<v Tyler Lynde>Yeah.

00:10:29.178 --> 00:10:40.440
<v Tyler Lynde>And they're actually doing a school now for, uh, either existing pastors who haven't yet been fully trained or for new people that the, that the Lord is calling into the ministry.

00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:40.840
<v Tyler Lynde>Yeah.

00:10:40.841 --> 00:10:43.720
<v Tyler Lynde>And this is something like you, like you said, that just hasn't been available.

00:10:44.200 --> 00:10:45.639
<v Tyler Lynde>Mm-hmm<affirmative> for a lot of, a lot of churches.

00:10:45.940 --> 00:10:51.110
<v Rachel Hicks>So July 4th, actually just, just recently, we started our first Bible school.

00:10:51.139 --> 00:10:59.428
<v Rachel Hicks>It's a two year school and it's only$500 for each individual, which is a lot in Cambodia, but the Lord's good he'll provide.

00:10:59.928 --> 00:11:09.620
<v Rachel Hicks>But, um, it allows layman and pastors because many pastors in Cambodia learn about Jesus and they drop what they're doing and they go and serve Jesus.

00:11:09.730 --> 00:11:10.700
<v Rachel Hicks>There's no training.

00:11:10.808 --> 00:11:13.299
<v Rachel Hicks>There's nothing, it's Jesus changed my life.

00:11:13.308 --> 00:11:13.860
<v Rachel Hicks>Let's go.

00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:17.539
<v Rachel Hicks>And so a lot of them have never had formal training.

00:11:17.799 --> 00:11:20.178
<v Rachel Hicks>And so we decided this was something that we could offer.

00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:23.649
<v Rachel Hicks>And so we've brought in some teachers from all around the world.

00:11:23.950 --> 00:11:37.490
<v Rachel Hicks>And so every three months, um, 18 pastors will come together to get to know each other deeper so that we can have unity in the church and then dive in deeper in who Jesus is and who the Bible, uh, what the Bible is and says, that's

00:11:37.490 --> 00:11:37.808
<v Tyler Lynde>So good.

00:11:37.870 --> 00:11:38.490
<v Tyler Lynde>That's so good.

00:11:39.289 --> 00:11:44.120
<v Tyler Lynde>Uh, I know you wouldn't say this about yourself, but you just recently were given a position in leadership.

00:11:44.759 --> 00:11:44.759
<v Tyler Lynde>Yeah.

00:11:44.820 --> 00:11:46.639
<v Tyler Lynde>And so tell me about that just a little bit.

00:11:47.159 --> 00:11:47.799
<v Rachel Hicks>I don't know why.

00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:48.759
<v Rachel Hicks>Um,<laugh>

00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:49.639
<v Tyler Lynde>I

00:11:49.639 --> 00:11:53.000
<v Rachel Hicks>Think we know, um, so I'm the only foreigner at my base.

00:11:53.500 --> 00:11:59.159
<v Rachel Hicks>And so in February they said, Hey, we, um, want to bring more foreigners to this area.

00:11:59.259 --> 00:12:02.240
<v Rachel Hicks>So we need someone to represent the foreigners.

00:12:02.389 --> 00:12:03.320
<v Rachel Hicks>There's only me.

00:12:04.039 --> 00:12:07.039
<v Rachel Hicks>Um, and so, uh, they asked me to be on leadership.

00:12:07.139 --> 00:12:12.350
<v Rachel Hicks>And so, um, I help represent K Kong for the Southeast Asian region.

00:12:12.850 --> 00:12:27.909
<v Rachel Hicks>And so in October I will be going to Thailand to do a leadership school, um, where I'll get to know 40 different leaders and this school leader, he was there during the genocide and he helped create the refugee camps on the border of Thailand and Cambodia.

00:12:28.450 --> 00:12:37.820
<v Rachel Hicks>And so I'm super excited to be able to learn from him and, and hear him and his wife's story, um, and kind of figure out my new role on leadership.

00:12:38.120 --> 00:12:38.340
<v Rachel Hicks>So

00:12:38.600 --> 00:12:39.779
<v Tyler Lynde>That's so awesome, man.

00:12:39.860 --> 00:12:55.610
<v Tyler Lynde>I can't, I just, I can believe because I know the character of, of yourself, but it's exciting to me to see how God will take someone who's willing and available and he'll, he'll use them in such mighty powerful ways.

00:12:55.909 --> 00:12:57.250
<v Tyler Lynde>And I just love that so much.

00:12:57.440 --> 00:12:57.730
<v Tyler Lynde>Amen.

00:12:59.889 --> 00:12:59.889
<v Tyler Lynde>Amen.

00:13:06.970 --> 00:13:09.960
<v Tyler Lynde>People are gonna want<affirmative> um, people are gonna want to, to know all the Lord's calling.

00:13:10.340 --> 00:13:10.558
<v Tyler Lynde>Yes.

00:13:11.039 --> 00:13:14.600
<v Tyler Lynde><laugh> is anybody receiving that call right now?

00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:16.399
<v Tyler Lynde>We'll pray for you at the end of the service.

00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:16.879
<v Tyler Lynde>Okay.

00:13:17.110 --> 00:13:17.399
<v Tyler Lynde>Yeah.

00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:19.759
<v Tyler Lynde>Um, sorry.

00:13:20.580 --> 00:13:35.149
<v Tyler Lynde>So, uh, so if people want to know more about what you're doing now, uh, so Rachel depends on the kindness of people giving toward her ministry and what God's using her to do there.

00:13:35.808 --> 00:13:38.950
<v Tyler Lynde>She also, uh, we talked about prayer this morning.

00:13:38.951 --> 00:13:42.750
<v Tyler Lynde>Prayer is such a fundamental part of any ministry.

00:13:42.850 --> 00:13:52.580
<v Tyler Lynde>And especially in a scenario like this, where they're facing all kinds of persecution and potential threats, and the government could shut things down at any moment.

00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:54.659
<v Tyler Lynde>So they, they really need prayer.

00:13:54.678 --> 00:13:58.340
<v Tyler Lynde>So if people wanted to connect with you further, what, what are some ways they can do that?

00:13:58.639 --> 00:14:03.490
<v Rachel Hicks>Hey, so right after this, in this side room, I think it's called the community room, right?

00:14:03.669 --> 00:14:04.570
<v Rachel Hicks>The community room.

00:14:04.850 --> 00:14:12.289
<v Rachel Hicks>I will be short just short time, just speaking and telling a little bit more about what I do and how you guys can be a part of it.

00:14:12.970 --> 00:14:18.690
<v Rachel Hicks>Uh, we love having advocates that speak out on behalf of Cambodia on behalf of what the Lord is doing there.

00:14:19.149 --> 00:14:25.919
<v Rachel Hicks>And to be honest, without people like all of you, um, many of us would not be able to do the work that we do.

00:14:26.059 --> 00:14:33.639
<v Rachel Hicks>And so if you're interested in missions, it doesn't have to be Cambodia, but any type of missions feel free to join in the meeting.

00:14:33.779 --> 00:14:34.960
<v Rachel Hicks>And I would love to talk to you.

00:14:34.961 --> 00:14:37.120
<v Rachel Hicks>You can ask questions, uh, yeah.

00:14:37.139 --> 00:14:38.559
<v Rachel Hicks>And get to know me more.

00:14:38.990 --> 00:14:39.279
<v Tyler Lynde>Yeah.

00:14:39.460 --> 00:14:40.120
<v Tyler Lynde>That's awesome.

00:14:40.230 --> 00:14:44.269
<v Tyler Lynde>And if they're not able to stay today, what's another way they can reach out to you.

00:14:44.690 --> 00:14:44.909
<v Rachel Hicks>Yes.

00:14:45.409 --> 00:14:46.509
<v Rachel Hicks>You can email me.

00:14:47.529 --> 00:14:52.759
<v Rachel Hicks>You guys can pull out pens and paper, maybe<laugh> or your phone.

00:14:52.860 --> 00:14:57.720
<v Rachel Hicks>You can email me, uh, R L Hicks, 15 gmail.com.

00:14:58.500 --> 00:15:01.240
<v Rachel Hicks>And so you can just send, Hey, I, I want some information.

00:15:01.419 --> 00:15:04.879
<v Rachel Hicks>And so I have a Facebook page as well called Rachel Lee missions.

00:15:04.899 --> 00:15:06.759
<v Rachel Hicks>You can look it up and follow what I do.

00:15:07.299 --> 00:15:08.519
<v Rachel Hicks>I'm pretty active one there.

<v Rachel Hicks>So you can grab coffee.

00:15:19.350 --> 00:15:20.789
<v Tyler Lynde>What, what about if they wanted to grab tea?

00:15:20.791 --> 00:15:21.549
<v Tyler Lynde>Would that be okay?

00:15:21.730 --> 00:15:21.950
<v Rachel Hicks>Yes.

00:15:22.149 --> 00:15:24.309
<v Rachel Hicks>I love tea because I live in Asia.

00:15:24.370 --> 00:15:25.590
<v Rachel Hicks>So you have to like tea.

00:15:26.269 --> 00:15:28.179
<v Rachel Hicks>So those are, but I also love coffee more.

00:15:29.299 --> 00:15:29.299
<v Rachel Hicks><laugh>

00:15:30.990 --> 00:15:38.059
<v Tyler Lynde>Those of you who are guests with us, there's been a great debate in this church through the years about which is better coffee or tea,

00:15:38.360 --> 00:15:38.779
<v Rachel Hicks>Coffee.

00:15:41.409 --> 00:15:41.820
<v Rachel Hicks>It's fine.

00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:43.460
<v Rachel Hicks>If you, if you love tea, it's great.

00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:46.299
<v Rachel Hicks>You can come to Asia because we'll give you all the free tea you want.

00:15:46.669 --> 00:15:47.409
<v Rachel Hicks>So it's good there

00:15:47.690 --> 00:15:47.690
<v Tyler Lynde>Go.

00:15:47.691 --> 00:15:48.169
<v Tyler Lynde>That's nice.

00:15:48.840 --> 00:15:49.330
<v Tyler Lynde>Awesome.

00:15:49.440 --> 00:15:55.450
<v Tyler Lynde>Well, um, I'm gonna ask Rachel to pray for us as a church in Kamai.

00:15:55.750 --> 00:15:56.409
<v Tyler Lynde>Can we do that?

00:15:56.590 --> 00:15:56.809
<v Tyler Lynde>Yes.

00:15:57.669 --> 00:15:57.889
<v Tyler Lynde>Yes.

00:15:58.269 --> 00:16:06.320
<v Tyler Lynde>She was telling me the other day that she's being challenged by her leadership because she's learned this language to be able to use it.

00:16:06.340 --> 00:16:07.919
<v Tyler Lynde>And the great part about this crowd.

00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:10.519
<v Tyler Lynde>I don't know if do you speak Kamai okay.

00:16:10.799 --> 00:16:12.360
<v Rachel Hicks>Praise the Lord one speaks Kamai

00:16:12.639 --> 00:16:13.639
<v Tyler Lynde><laugh> never okay.

00:16:13.720 --> 00:16:14.279
<v Tyler Lynde>Mandarin.

00:16:14.399 --> 00:16:14.399
<v Tyler Lynde>Yeah.

00:16:14.600 --> 00:16:14.960
<v Tyler Lynde>Is this filming?

00:16:15.299 --> 00:16:16.360
<v Tyler Lynde>So yeah, this is filming.

00:16:16.860 --> 00:16:23.360
<v Tyler Lynde>Here's the thing, nobody that's within the sound of your voice or on the internet, anywhere in the world is gonna be able to know I

00:16:23.470 --> 00:16:24.429
<v Rachel Hicks>Get really stressed out.

00:16:24.529 --> 00:16:26.830
<v Rachel Hicks>So I will switch into English

00:16:27.169 --> 00:16:27.549
<v Tyler Lynde>For sure.

00:16:27.690 --> 00:16:40.389
<v Tyler Lynde>Do what you wanna do, but if you wanna at least start and end in a com combin, but pray for us because we really want to have, uh, an additional, a multiplication of the heart for missions.

00:16:40.580 --> 00:16:41.429
<v Tyler Lynde>Okay, great.

00:16:41.610 --> 00:16:42.740
<v Tyler Lynde>And then we'll pray for you.

00:16:43.129 --> 00:16:43.419
<v Rachel Hicks>Yeah.

00:16:44.179 --> 00:16:44.779
<v Rachel Hicks>Yeah, we do that.

00:16:52.700 --> 00:16:56.019
<v Rachel Hicks>Pray Onam.

00:16:58.179 --> 00:17:25.920
<v Rachel Hicks>We pray on Ji LA Aran.

00:17:26.349 --> 00:17:26.640
<v Rachel Hicks>Amen.

00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:27.720
<v Tyler Lynde>Amen.

00:17:27.858 --> 00:17:28.079
<v Tyler Lynde>Wow.

00:17:29.549 --> 00:17:30.079
<v Tyler Lynde>Good job.

00:17:31.069 --> 00:17:31.920
<v Tyler Lynde>That was beautiful.

00:17:32.309 --> 00:17:34.319
<v Tyler Lynde>Beautiful folks.

00:17:34.640 --> 00:17:38.319
<v Tyler Lynde>We, Jesus is not an American Jesus, right, us.

00:17:38.320 --> 00:17:38.509
<v Tyler Lynde>Right.

00:17:38.930 --> 00:17:43.069
<v Tyler Lynde>He gave the father, remember the father gave all the languages at the tower of Babbel.

00:17:43.089 --> 00:17:47.990
<v Tyler Lynde>And so, uh, and he, he sent people in different regions strategically.

00:17:48.769 --> 00:17:54.358
<v Tyler Lynde>And so it's important for us to keep our minds and hearts open to the globe, to the entire world.

00:17:54.690 --> 00:17:55.039
<v Tyler Lynde>Right.

00:17:55.839 --> 00:18:03.400
<v Tyler Lynde>Uh, we talk about the global government and we can, we can talk about all of that, but there's the positive side to the kingdom globally.

00:18:04.019 --> 00:18:07.670
<v Tyler Lynde>And so we need to keep our eyes and hearts open to the rest of the world.

00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:12.108
<v Tyler Lynde>Would you join with me and praying for Rachel and for her continued work there?

00:18:12.579 --> 00:18:12.868
<v Tyler Lynde>Amen.

00:18:13.329 --> 00:18:14.789
<v Tyler Lynde>Father, I thank you for Rachel.

00:18:15.450 --> 00:18:34.579
<v Tyler Lynde>And what a blessing she is, uh, just in the person that she is, first of all, Lord, before any ministry, we thank you that you've given her such character, um, such personality, uh, Lord, she's, she's doing, she's doing everything that she can with the gifts that you've given her.

00:18:35.640 --> 00:18:42.779
<v Tyler Lynde>And so father, I pray that she would just be refreshed while she's here, pray that this would be a time of retooling and rebuilding.

00:18:43.460 --> 00:18:48.608
<v Tyler Lynde>I pray father that there will be, uh, greater vision, even for the future for her.

00:18:49.170 --> 00:18:55.849
<v Tyler Lynde>I pray that, uh, that you will speak to her clearly on what you want for her and what next steps look like.

00:18:56.690 --> 00:19:01.130
<v Tyler Lynde>I pray father that, um, that your perfect will would come to pass in her life.

00:19:01.150 --> 00:19:06.839
<v Tyler Lynde>We pray for success in every aspect of the ministry that's happening there.

00:19:07.299 --> 00:19:11.559
<v Tyler Lynde>And Lord's success looks like your will being done in your kingdom coming.

00:19:12.220 --> 00:19:14.319
<v Tyler Lynde>And so we pray for that in that region.

00:19:15.079 --> 00:19:26.750
<v Tyler Lynde>Uh, we pray, she goes to Thailand Lord for this important training that you will, uh, that you will impart to her, the things that you want to, and that she'll ALS she will be used also to minister to others.

00:19:26.940 --> 00:19:40.940
<v Tyler Lynde>Lord, we just pray father that you protect her and watch over her and keep her safe in all of her ways, Lord, that she will live out every day that you have designed and destined for her to live in this life.

00:19:41.279 --> 00:19:46.180
<v Tyler Lynde>And that she'll be filled with joy, uh, and have good health Lord.

00:19:46.319 --> 00:19:48.059
<v Tyler Lynde>And we do pray for her finances.

00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:51.460
<v Tyler Lynde>We pray Lord that, uh, she's about 70% funded.

00:19:51.880 --> 00:19:59.608
<v Tyler Lynde>We pray Lord that you would make a way for that last 30% to, uh, to come in so that she'll be able to fully invest.

00:20:00.019 --> 00:20:05.049
<v Tyler Lynde>She's wanting really, she's wanting to support helping new pastors and she has a heart.

00:20:05.210 --> 00:20:07.368
<v Tyler Lynde>And so that 30% really isn't for her.

00:20:08.069 --> 00:20:14.130
<v Tyler Lynde>She wants to be able to give it away to help pastors who can't afford the training and things that they need.

00:20:14.710 --> 00:20:24.000
<v Tyler Lynde>And so Lord, we just pray that you would, uh, meet the desires of her heart because they godly desires and provide for her in every way.

00:20:24.339 --> 00:20:27.440
<v Tyler Lynde>And we thank you for it, father she's Ana.

00:20:28.309 --> 00:20:28.599
<v Tyler Lynde>Amen.

00:20:28.950 --> 00:20:29.240
<v Tyler Lynde>Amen.

00:20:29.470 --> 00:20:29.960
<v Tyler Lynde>Awesome.

00:20:30.118 --> 00:20:30.279
<v Tyler Lynde>Thank you.

00:20:30.460 --> 00:20:31.319
<v Tyler Lynde>Didn't she do great.

00:20:32.519 --> 00:20:32.519
<v Tyler Lynde>Amen.
