Live Kickoff And Guest Intros

SPEAKER_00 0:07

Hey everybody, welcome back to the Gods in the One Podcast. I'm your host, Kiddett, and today we have two very special guests. We will have three here in a little while, but the other one ain't got here yet. We have got Brother Danny Sweeney, Brother Richard Sweeney, and coming up, Brother Joey Sweeney eventually. I don't know when he'll get here, but this is a live podcast for those who are not watching. We're uh recording this live and uh on for y'all to listen to later on. So we hope y'all enjoy it. If y'all got any questions on the live, like I said, y'all feel free to ask us. We're gonna just be recapping 2025 and what we got planned for 2026. Uh it's been a wild year, 2025, but I'll tell you, with missions, it's been a phenomenal year. So, Uncle Danny, Daddy, thank y'all for being here today. Good to be here. So, to start out, Uncle Danny, just just give us a quick, like, just what would you say about 2025? How good was this year for Missions?

SPEAKER_03 1:01

Excuse me. It was a great year. Uh, there was a lot done, uh, and we'll probably get into talking about different things. I know Kent's gonna ask the questions. I don't have anything. This is uh impromptu year, whatever you call it. And uh we we had a great year. There was a lot of good things with every aspect from feeding the kids to the preaching crusades, building churches, uh, or uh fixing up churches, kids' crusades, as a just all kind of things. So it was a a great year, the Lord blessed, where all of the needs have been met uh financially. It's uh, you know, we always are on a tight budget and we the dollars come in and and we spend them on the mission field. And so it's been uh been good. We end the year with victory, and so we're excited about uh what God's got for next year. Amen. Well, we got an audience, we got a little bit of an audience.

SPEAKER_00 2:02

Hey little web. Well, yes, sir. It's been a good year. We're gonna start out by talking. We got multiple different topics from future plans to things that happen this year. To start out, uh I want to talk about goals. And there's our third guest right there, just walked in, brother Joey Sweeney. Those that are coming in, just pull you up a chair.

SPEAKER_03 2:27

We'll have a live omni.

SPEAKER_00 2:30

Welcome, welcome, welcome, hey, that's good.

SPEAKER_02 2:33

We are live. Danny was talking about flip houses over here, and he was live and didn't even know it. Hey, we'll talk about that.

SPEAKER_00 2:40

We're real professional. Uncle Joey, welcome to the desk. Welcome to the temporary desk. So uh I started out by asking a question, just how do you feel missions went this year, 25, 2025?

SPEAKER_04 2:54

I well, I I personally felt like it was a really great year, didn't you, Brother Danny? It's awesome. I felt like a lot was accomplished, a lot of connections was made, and um that's what mission work's all about is making the right connections to um labor together to build the kingdom.

Big Wins From 2025 Missions

SPEAKER_00 3:15

Yes, sir. So getting on to what we were trying to talk about with projects and stuff, we had multiple projects start this year. So let's start with honestly. I had something that I seen on our last trip that I really wanted to talk about. The food, uh, what we're doing with the food has grown big time with what we're doing getting food and with the food that we're starting to grow up there. Can you talk about that?

SPEAKER_03 3:39

Yes, the Lord blessed. If we're gonna uh just kind of recap the food uh with what happened, uh food has been very scariest or scariest to get, uh, and it's been a struggle, but the Lord blessed uh through uh Brother Joel Sneed and uh different ones that had made a connection some years ago. And uh there's an organization that is working with us to uh to help provide us food throughout the year. They really love what we're doing. And then uh to kind of start doing some things so we can be self-contained in the future possibly. Uh there's a big greenhouse that we had built. And uh I I I actually got pictures today that Brother Louise sent me, if I wish I could show. Oh, we could. But uh we've got um the greenhouse and there's big uh planting pots, and we've sent uh a bunch of them over uh I think a hundred and something of them through different uh church in Texas, Brother Chris Wilkins Church. And uh we've uh they're planting vegetables in the in this greenhouse. It's like 50 by 80 or something like that, Richard. 40 by 80. I can't remember.

SPEAKER_02 5:00

I think it's 40 by 80.

SPEAKER_03 5:01

40 by 80, and uh man, you can grow a lot of vegetables in there. And so we've got a uh through uh donation, we have a 22 tray uh commercial dehydrator, and so uh all of that will be grown, dehydrated, put together with rice and all the proteins and nutrients that uh helps break malnutrition. And so we'll be able to bake our own food. Been trying to do that for years, but it's really coming along uh in a different way with this big greenhouse, and then we're wanting to build another one. So uh we do have now a supply from uh some people that love what we're doing, and then uh us producing some of our own stuff is uh coming into fruition. So there's a lot that's uh happening.

SPEAKER_02 5:50

That guy's bringing groceries in.

SPEAKER_00 5:53

Everything you're saying, my mic's picking up. I know. I can hear everything you're saying. Okay, but he did, he just brought groceries. He just brought groceries, let's see that. Some kind of some kind of smooth, gumbo, something like that. That's gonna be distracting. Totally. But uh the food, like I was saying, I was really looking forward to talking about that. I got to go beginning of the year on a trip, and then I got to go at the end of the year on a trip, and when I first got to go, they was working on the uh they was working on the greenhouse. When we went uh a couple months ago, they had it done and they had stuff growing, they had stuff growing everywhere. I've never seen so much food on that property.

SPEAKER_02 6:31

That was pretty, yeah, it was everything was full.

SPEAKER_00 6:33

I want whenever I talk to Bru Luis about it, I want to get a list of everything that they grew. Just as it might be rough, but as much as we can get, I think it'd be really nice. Oh my word. Can you show that to the camera for me, Daddy? Where's the camera? Yeah, go put it in front of the camera. Just to show y'all what we're talking about a little bit. I wish I wish I had a TV.

SPEAKER_02 6:53

Here's what we got figured out. I'm just the feeling in. You're the And I'm the gopher. And the but he is a qualified cameraman. I am a qualified cameraman.

Food Pipeline And Greenhouse Strategy

SPEAKER_00 7:01

Okay, so the cool thing about this, how I did this is our my Paw Pa brother, Daniel Sweeney, started God's Little One. Like I've said, these three are the are his sons. They've all support or helped support God's Little One. All have been on trips, all do stuff with it, all have got a role in the missions. This was a cool way, I thought, to end 2025. It's it's really cool. Uh that's nice, isn't it? That's pretty cool. Hello to everybody saying hello on there. Hello, uh, Sister Wendy Clark. But yeah, uh I thought the food thing, it it was so so cool to see because I've never seen that up on our property. I've seen a little bit, but nothing's down.

SPEAKER_02 7:40

Yes, a lot of growth. The next thing I want to-wheat, too, didn't they? Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_00 7:44

They've done a lot of growing on there. The next thing I want to talk about was green wells. We've been working on that. When did we start working on green wells?

SPEAKER_03 7:50

Uh it's been probably two years. Where are we at on it? It's pretty much done. Uh matter of fact, uh church, and I I'll say who, because I like to give credit where credit's due. And uh Pastor Chris Woods, then they give the money to put a solar system in there uh to do all the electric and be solar and all. So they just we're fixing to send those funds. We're waiting until Brother Louise gets some things lined out uh before because it's been kind of hectic for him, his truck messed up and all kind of thing. And so uh we're waiting and he's gonna be putting that side of the state. Yeah, that's right. And so uh so it's uh it's going very well. The church, as far as it's completed, there may be some floor stuff that uh platform stuff that they gotta do, but uh it's all good. There matter of fact, they're having church and and uh stuff in it and different things, so it's going great.

SPEAKER_00 8:51

Yeah, I I got to I got to go see it before they had put the walls up and stuff, and it was really nice. I'm looking forward to getting to go back up there. It's been really good messing with the camera. Now it's crooked the other way. It's good. Okay, hello McKenzie. But yeah, that Greenwell's I've been really looking forward to. We got I got pictures. I got pictures over time. Ben, hello there. I got pictures over time. What are you gonna say hi to everybody? Oh yeah. I got pictures over time from whenever uh we was laying it whenever we got to go up there. I got pictures from them putting the walls up, I got pictures of them doing the roof. So it's gonna be really cool at the end to do a video with a lot of the shit.

SPEAKER_03 9:37

And that was made possible by the Shelton family uh from Scottsville, Kentucky. Brother Mackie, brother Brandon, brother Caleb, and their family, they they took the initial big chunk of money and started that, and we've added to it because we were missed our budget some, but uh man, they were invaluable to that church, and now it is going to be a thriving church. Matter of fact, we had a an individual that was just there. I haven't even mentioned this to anyone because it was kind of a shock to me, but from OBI Guatemala that came and has spent the the last week there with Brother Luis, uh a young man helping out and and doing some things. And so uh You told me about that, but you never get specific.

SPEAKER_04 10:28

I haven't got with him about it yet and all, but it it's to me the most exciting part about that church, Brother Danny, is that there's no church up there.

SPEAKER_00 10:39

You're right.

SPEAKER_04 10:39

I mean, literally, there's not even a Catholic church up there. We we are the very first church, yeah, and it's a community of about probably 500 people in that in that little community um spread out kind of through the that mountainous area right there. That I mean, I I believe God's gonna let us reach them all.

SPEAKER_03 10:59

Oh, I believe it's some powerful things happening. It's there that uh when we were having a kid's crusade, that we began, while they were having the kids' crusade, me and Brother Luis was me and Brother BJ or some, I believe it was, we were ministering to uh an elderly man that had lost his son, and then when we got done there, we went to another lady uh that was bedridden for the last several months, could not move, and God healed her. When we left there, she was rejoicing, shouting and praising God, sung us a song, and she had been in bed, and there was no way hope for her ever getting out of the bed. And I mean she was just bald up in a ball, but when we got done, she was rejoicing, jumping up and down, praising the Lord, singing. And so there is revival in that that little village, you know. And uh, and we have uh uh that's gonna be a strong church there.

SPEAKER_00 11:58

Yeah, well when we went up there, they had no electricity, their uh their sewer system, they was having to redo the whole thing. No, nothing we did yet.

SPEAKER_03 12:07

No, that's the next thing that's a good thing.

SPEAKER_00 12:08

That was something because I know we Uncle Joe was up there when we did that and he talked to them about it. So that's it.

Greenwells Church Build And Impact

SPEAKER_03 12:13

And we have a little pavilion there that uh uh that the Shelton family helped build. That was the first thing where we could put our concrete under, or cement under and stuff like that, bags, and they would get under there and have children's shows. Well, now the thought pattern is we could turn that into a little one-bedroom house for a pastor or somebody to pastor the church, you know. And so it's just it's amazing what God's doing at Greenwells. It's it's arrested every one of our hearts, you know, and everybody that goes there and stuff.

SPEAKER_00 12:51

Well, I'll tell you, this is the first church since I've gotten involved with God's little one that I've got to see grow. So it really, it's really it's really cool to me.

SPEAKER_03 12:59

Exactly from the dirt to the dirt to the building. Out in a field, basically, you know, uh to it's awesome.

SPEAKER_00 13:06

I love it. I love it. So the next thing I want to talk about, and it's got to do more with building, is the uh so we've been working on the privacy set f the privacy fence around the building. And I is that done or it's almost done? No. I want you to talk about it, and then I want you to talk about putting up the fence.

SPEAKER_03 13:23

Yeah, three, yeah, yeah, three seconds. Richard has a lot of money.

SPEAKER_02 13:28

Yeah. So and then it'll be completely. Yeah, so it's been actually a long time.

SPEAKER_03 13:33

And actually, we have a lot of the poles to do that to go across the back because that's already been made uh and all. So there's there's part of that. How much did it left to finish that project? I don't I don't know. Probably a couple thousand dollars, you know, is what far as finances and stuff.

SPEAKER_02 13:51

Yeah, it's the gate was nice. The gate. I want you to talk about that. It was heavy. It was heavy. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 13:58

That's like it is it was as heavy as heavenly gates.

SPEAKER_00 14:06

Oh, I got a picture of you welding over there. It's so funny.

SPEAKER_03 14:09

I got you with the big old goggles. Yeah. Well, just to let you know, they were this gate is 20 20 foot long or is it maybe not that long? Yeah, or longer. Yeah, or longer. And they had a guy there, brother Luis had one of their guys there gonna put this thing up, and it's just what's gonna happen. So Richard, he just can't, the Lord just put him there. And he had to reconfigure that whole thing. It was definitely on the fly. Uh, and and to make it work. And but hey, when it was done, oh Rick McConardo, I mean, he got that baby done, and now you can push it, it opens, it's nice.

SPEAKER_04 14:52

And uh big it it takes more than just a little skinny footer to go open and close. Yeah, it's it's it is definitely safe. It's awesome.

SPEAKER_00 15:03

We talked about but it was so needed. Oh, yeah, oh man, yes. We talked about the wheels on that. How long is that gonna last? Because you said them wheels aren't gonna last long. I'm not a lot.

SPEAKER_03 15:13

And I like to say with that, and just inserting uh Brother Jared uh uh Carroll with the uh meeting in the middle from Brother Clark's uh church, uh Carl Clark's church there at Victory in Salon Springs, Organso was very instrumental with the the um the golf tournament to raise money to to do and get where we're at because we used a lot of that money for the fence and then some other areas as well, you know. So uh just God's put so many things together this year. If people here in place, God's open doors in Honduras, God is the open a door for Brother Luis to be on the board of the ministry, I don't even know how to word it, but the ministerial whatever of all of Honduras, Alliance of Honduras, and you have to have that. Uh everybody, every church in Honduras has to go through that. Right. And he is actually on the board of that and has so many opportunities that we just can't get to it all, you know. So connections there, connections here, uh people getting involved, and so it's been an awesome year.

SPEAKER_00 16:29

I agree. It's been a it's been phenomenal. The trips we've been having, we're gonna get to trips later on, talking about kind of like a rough, rough go of all the all the trips and stuff, but the trips that I've been on just by myself, not the trips that I've heard everybody else on has been powerful. And this other stories, Uncle Joey, your trip, Uncle Danny, the trip y'all went on, it's all been so powerful. It's all been so good. So uh the next thing I want to talk about, you you brought it up, and I'm just gonna go ahead and just do this for because I know this is we did this this year, and we did that, we're doing this again. Well, we don't do it, but it's put on the golf tournament. I want to talk about that a little bit. So, brother Jared Carroll puts this on. He did it last year. This was the second year we did it. Basically, it's just a golf tournament to uh help support God's Little One, all the money goes to God's Little One to get sponsors and stuff. And it was we live streamed it, it was so much fun. Oh, it was we had a blast on that.

SPEAKER_03 17:18

And as Brother Gerald Jared Carroll through Brother Carl Clark and Victory Assembly of God through their what they call meeting church sponsoring. Yeah, they're church sponsored. Meeting in the middle, camp meeting every July, I believe it is. And uh then that is now tagged on and connected, and it is turning into something powerful. End of June, somewhere through there. And uh, it's it's really great.

SPEAKER_00 17:46

The meeting was powerful, and then just getting to go to that golf tournament afterwards. I love the way Jared said it. If I can remember the way he said it, basically it's like God's given to them, and then that gives them an opportunity to give back. I thought that was so good. You played in the golf tournament, so how did that go? I did. Well, it didn't go good because I didn't win.

SPEAKER_04 18:06

Uh the I had three very good golfers golfing with me, but they were pulling my dead weight around the whole time, so we ended up losing, but uh, we shot seven under. And uh, but you got to shoot a lot better than that to win a four-man scramble. And uh but it was a blast. I can't wait till next year. Oh, yeah. I mean, it's it was a really fun time. Um I watched people um you know pay to be in the golf tournament and then intentionally bring extra money just to give, and um just seeing people listen to what God is doing and and get involved and and get, you know, they're connected, they're forever connected to what we do, and um and and I just think it's awesome.

SPEAKER_03 18:56

And financially it's encouraging doubled from the first year it doubled in fine, and people were they were buying every kind of mulligan, every kind they could buy long distant throws.

SPEAKER_04 19:10

I think the team that won bought a mulligan ever hold.

SPEAKER_00 19:13

Well, they had like legit golfers with them. Like they're the guys on that team with the game.

SPEAKER_03 19:17

I believe they was getting like pros to come out there, you know.

SPEAKER_00 19:21

Okay the funnest team to watch though is I cannot remember who was on the team, but the guy who did the happy Gilmore and almost hit Johnny. Yeah, that was so funny. It was so funny that that golf turn was so fun. But if y'all, just to put that out there, if y'all want to get involved with that next year, y'all can go. They got a Facebook page, uh, meeting in the middle of the fairway. It it's an awesome event. It's an awesome event. But next thing I want to talk about, now this might be a last year thing more. The Sunday school uh stuff. Did we start that thing?

Fencing, Security Gate, And Site Upgrades

SPEAKER_03 19:48

It was started it's got a couple of years ago, but it's grown. Yeah, we did it this year, brother Lonnie Adams and Sister Lori. His wife is gonna try to be a part of the year. Right, that was there when he. We're scheduling uh yeah, you were uh that we're trying to get it scheduled for the was it the end of April? Uh I'm trying to get it uh but yeah, the Sunday school curriculum and and teaching that he's doing is just bringing our our uh Sunday school teachers in and children's church workers and giving them training, giving them practical ways to do children's ministry, giving them uh uh actual uh pamphlets and and uh papers, you know, to uh to do things. Uh he just sent, we just sent it on the container. Brother Lonnie and his church, uh First Assembly in uh Sherman, Texas, bought a jet printer, big jet printer to uh go there to print their curriculum and all that stuff. And so it is really caught on fire and uh they are doing a phenomenal job.

SPEAKER_04 20:58

And that's an area of ministry that we've never we've never done it before um addressed that needed addressed.

SPEAKER_03 21:07

Big time.

SPEAKER_04 21:08

I for what to me what I sense, Brother Danny, and our in God's little ones um the ministry there right now, um the expansion I see the most is uh we're we're not just focusing just on pastors' conferences and preaching to the pastors and things of that nature, but we're actually helping them to grow in their understanding of structure and things of that nature, things that they've lacked in. And they they admittedly said they had lacked in.

SPEAKER_03 21:40

And it's getting a lot of people involved. It is because I can't from the states and from the exact and so so I we just turned that over to brother Brother Lonnie Adams. I said, you take it, brother, and do it. You know, I because uh it's the thing, I think about me, it's not about brother Joey, it's not, it's it's about the kingdom of God, and and and and so that is an area that we needed help in. And so they they and he he brother Lonnie, he said, man, this he's got a heart for it and the knowledge, and he said, uh we're we're fixing to blow this thing apart, you know, and stuff. And the ability and the ability, and they've done children's church ministry for uh years and years, and uh, and uh, and so now he's pastoring a great church and and uh they're getting wanting to get involved. Some of his people's wanting to go, you know, so it's it's exciting.

SPEAKER_00 22:34

Yes, sir. Yes, sir. He's doing a phenomenal job. I got to go in with him first time he went, but I haven't got to go with him since we've done the Sunday school stuff. I'd love that's that it's awesome. I love it. Next thing I want to talk about goes back to Building Day. This is more on your uh expertise. Mama's room.

SPEAKER_02 22:53

It's coming to love.

SPEAKER_00 22:55

It's coming, but it's coming. How long how long has it been that we've been supposed to be working on that?

SPEAKER_02 23:00

25 years. 25 years. We've been doing it over there. 25. When did that building get started? I think it was we built around that room. 13 years ago. 13 years ago. We laid the foundation.

SPEAKER_00 23:11

So what it is we're getting close, though. What it is, we've talked about it before, but it's basically we got a room specifically for when my mama goes over there, she's got her place to stay. And we had someone it's more just to honor the founders. Right. And we had somebody who was who gave us the money to finish it. And thank you to Sister Becky Burgess for getting us that money because it's helped us. We've we've never we started it and never got it back done. Yeah, that was before I even went on my first missions trip. And now it's it's making headway.

SPEAKER_02 23:47

It's always been one of them catch-all rooms, you know. It's not no more, it's finally getting used to cleaned up. It's got the doors with a lock on them and what's left on it. I think the uh doing the brick around the bottom of the shower and putting a vanity in. Yeah. But we gotta get a vanity built because all of the plumbing comes into there. It's gotta be covered. So there's like six or seven pipes that come in the floor that's gotta be covered.

SPEAKER_00 24:16

So yeah, you had fits with it last time we were up there. You want to talk about it.

SPEAKER_03 24:20

And you can't just go, they don't, you can't just go to Lowe's Home Depot or whatever. It's nothing. I mean, there's nothing up there. You know, they asked, but Luis is asking me to bring plywood over for them, you know. Yeah, that's why when I did the door on the container, so you can't get stuff. That's the problem.

SPEAKER_02 24:35

When I did the door, you know, it's like I needed two by fours, dude. There ain't no two by fours. No, it's we I was piecing it together with twigs.

SPEAKER_04 24:44

It's definitely not not the same as doing a project.

SPEAKER_03 24:46

No, and what because you got to go cut a pine tree down and get somebody to rip you two by fours and all that. And and and we've done used every permit that we could use in the last 20 years because building the buildings and all that.

SPEAKER_04 24:57

I was I was building a bookshelf today, and uh my sander needed a new sanding pad, so I just hopped in the truck and run to Home Depot and got one. You can't do that there. You know, they take some glue.

SPEAKER_02 25:09

Matter of fact, now they take some glue and put back on the sandpaper and pick it up off the floors. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 25:15

It definitely is uh I shipped some stuff over there or brought some stuff for Brother Luis on the last container, not this one, but the container before last, over there to uh try to give them you know something to work with.

SPEAKER_00 25:28

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 25:29

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 25:30

So that kind of leads into the next thing I want to talk about. I want to talk about the container. So we went how how many weeks ago was that?

SPEAKER_03 25:38

Uh uh three weeks.

SPEAKER_00 25:41

About two, three weeks ago. We went and loaded the container to go over to Honduras. So let's talk about how that went and what all was on that.

Sunday School Training And Curriculum

SPEAKER_03 25:47

Went great. It went great. Actually, the best container as far as structured and getting it over there, everything went smooth. Uh the container was neat. We had uh 10 pallets of uh uh food which was a hundred and forty-seven thousand five hundred and sixty meals and all uh on that, which averages with what we paid for the container, just the food, uh, it averages four cents a meal. And all. And so that's not so the it's it cost a lot. It costs sixty eight hundred dollars basically to get that container from from here all the way to the uh to God's Lord. They're doing it right now. Uh matter of fact, they they're bringing it up they probably not tonight, but they're today they was bringing that up to the mountains. And uh, and so if we just brought the food over there, that I know it sounds like a lot of money, and it is. It just tears me up every time. But we have church, Pastor Kevin Hinton in uh in Bowling Green, Kentucky, every year blesses us with a good offering to help offset uh that that cost. And so uh, but if we didn't have anything else but food on there, that's when you break it down, it's only four cents a meal, you know. So you can't you can't be there. But other than that, we've got the school supplies for Brother Jules, uh Bright Minds uh uh bilingual Christian school, and there was a lot of supplies put on there for that. We got Brother Luisa a bed through uh rustic furniture depot out of uh uh Tech Crossroads, Texas, there, Brother Merino. We got uh we got washer and dryer, brother Jonathan Schmid would help get ice and water shield, 13 rolls of ice and water shield over there for Brother Luis's house and roof. We got uh desks, we uh we have planner pots, um, yeah, you said washer and dryer. So there is a lot of things, oh uh probably 500 blankets. Um so the list could go uh probably 200 backpacks, some school supplies. Uh so there's a lot that was on there other than just the food, you know, and yet it was we man, we put and brother Darren Smith there in uh uh Van Texas as a warehouse, and he helped us palletize everything, and he has a forklift, and man, we set that stuff in there. He's a tremendous bus. He's a great brother Darren's a great business. And it was it was it was uh the best packed container, and so uh it's there. So we we're rejoicing about that. I'm gonna go. The container drives me crazy yearly. But it works and it's needed.

SPEAKER_00 28:53

Last year for me and Dre was probably the worst container year we ever had. Because we had revival going with Brother Randy or Brother Andy Stringfellow, and we left I don't know, we might have left two, three, four in the morning to go to that container, came all the way back for that night's service, got up early the next morning, and had to go back to help him load it all up. Yeah, that was a rough.

SPEAKER_03 29:16

I wasn't there last time. You know, but anyway, it went great great container. And I was going smoothly with it. Yeah, the boss was not wagging on the tail there.

SPEAKER_02 29:26

Well bagging your tail.

SPEAKER_00 29:31

It only goes good when you're no, the truth is the truth, you know.

SPEAKER_02 29:35

Everything revolves around you, right?

SPEAKER_00 29:37

No, no, you just don't want us to get rid of them. It went really good. So uh do I have any other what else what other projects did we have worked on this year that I I'm not thinking of?

SPEAKER_03 29:51

We helped, you know, just do some little things on other churches. They worked on Guanaspa Church, doing some, I think some things on Sonia. I'm not for sure, but I know Guanaspal.

SPEAKER_00 30:02

That reminds me of something I want to talk about. You talked to me about you told me about this, y'all wanting to start doing, and you I believe you talked to me, he don't remember, but I believe you talked to my dad about this about the church doing the church renovating.

SPEAKER_03 30:14

Yeah, working on all our churches, uh several churches need some things. And uh this is gonna be the man right here. He didn't know. Well, that that's just something in the future. We we really a lot of them need uh you know, some just some doors staining, just uh just maintenance on different things. And so that's something we uh haven't really discussed. It ain't started. Something that's going that needs to be done, you know, different ones.

SPEAKER_00 30:42

Yeah, we got a we got a few people watching. I'm I I told my dad before this, I didn't expect nobody to watch. We got a few people watching. Thank you to whoever whoever's watching. I see a couple of the people on the thank y'all for watching, and I just wanted to it reiterate, including our uh live uh guests here. If y'all got any questions, we have live guests in the studio, so two. If y'all got you can't tell them how many. If y'all got any questions online, just go on the comments. Just go in the comments and you ask your question. We'll we'll we'll answer anything fun or serious, we'll answer it, and including y'all. If y'all want to ask a question, y'all just raise y'all's hands. But yeah, so uh to go on to future projects that we got planned. What other future projects y'all got planned besides that?

SPEAKER_03 31:30

Well, right, we're kind of putting the brakes on some things right now just because we got a regroup. Uh, you know, we want to because you can get yourself spread thin. Too many projects. But but there's a lot of things as far as the food, getting that done, getting the fence, the back of the fence. That's a kind of something that we need to continue to do. Uh we don't want to start any churches or anything. We got places to put churches, but we, and we got actually people that said, listen, brother, if y'all ever build a church, we're waiting to help finance a church, you know. And so uh so we got people waiting on that. The thing is, is getting pastors. You know, we got places to, but if you go put a building up and you don't have nobody to lead that people, then it's it's just fruitless, you know. Right. But we need to do some things at our glow center. We uh definitely we we need there's a uh we I want to build we want to build a big pantry uh in the back, you know.

SPEAKER_02 32:30

Uh that's before we build a pantry. Let's try to get some mattresses.

SPEAKER_03 32:34

You know, that that's that's uh that's a major deal. Please! We got some dear friends that have talked to us about that, and we need to really kind of uh you know I would love for a good furniture store owner to donate us a couple furniture stores.

SPEAKER_04 32:51

Donate us 30 32 pick rape.

SPEAKER_00 32:57

This is how bad they are. He knew that without even thinking.

SPEAKER_03 33:01

But but one furniture store, a very dear friend of mine that does this big kids program. We're not gonna call them the names, but he made uh he really is it start with the TM? Well, maybe so. But I know he's not watching, but he made reference to it would be good to get the type of bed that had the full size on the bottom and the twin on top, you know, and just three some more room in there.

SPEAKER_04 33:31

And then it would open and then just condense it down to just one bed per no, it'd be two beds.

SPEAKER_03 33:36

It'd be two big still have a bunk.

Founder’s Room Renovation Realities

SPEAKER_04 33:38

No, I'm saying though, in other words, and instead of it being two bunk beds in there, it'd be on one side.

SPEAKER_03 33:43

One bunk bed. One uh pool, two people, and then uh you know, still getting three, but you'd have build a little closet or or hanging rack, something, or a little desk or something on that side and to put your stuff in there. It'll give you more room. That was uh made mention by a good friend of Glow.

SPEAKER_02 34:04

That guy that designed that building was he wasn't thinking too good.

SPEAKER_05 34:08

He pop up one of the cross and he built a t-shirt.

SPEAKER_00 34:14

That's what you said.

SPEAKER_03 34:23

We haven't too much for we did our podcast.

SPEAKER_00 34:26

That's what he said. He wanted to look like a cross, he made it look like a t-shirt.

SPEAKER_04 34:30

I didn't I didn't know if you worked for the correctional uh folks and and got your design from making it.

SPEAKER_02 34:42

And when that thing first started, you remember he had to tear it all up? Oh, I remember that. Because in rooms it's gonna be like a three by three.

SPEAKER_04 34:53

He was preparing for cinder blocks and tuba fours, and he forgot about it was gonna be 16 inches.

SPEAKER_03 35:00

Adobe on each side. Yeah, every side.

SPEAKER_02 35:04

You couldn't even turn around and think.

SPEAKER_03 35:06

But hey, we got it figured out. Yeah, it's it's awesome. It's been it served a lot of purpose that building. It has been a blessing.

SPEAKER_00 35:15

I don't know any time.

SPEAKER_02 35:16

Well, you know, one of the things we did this year too was pulled all the pulled all the tiles off and water shield the whole thing.

SPEAKER_03 35:23

Yeah, brother Richard Edwards and his sons and and then some guys from the thing was leaking everywhere. That whole roof hard. Right and they worked. We we needed it.

SPEAKER_02 35:34

We went up there so I don't think it was a room in there, it wasn't leaking.

SPEAKER_03 35:37

We went up there and we may have one or two little bitty leaks now, but nothing.

SPEAKER_04 35:43

My room leaks just a touch, but it's it's the skylight. Yes. Um gotta crack.

SPEAKER_02 35:48

So what y'all say don't get him to do a roof.

SPEAKER_03 35:53

I don't see how them skylights don't pour water in there. Oh Lord, I know. Uh and uh they've done a phenomenal, them boys worked on it. They worked hard. So they worked hard.

SPEAKER_00 36:01

Was that this year? We sure I haven't passed. I remember that. Okay. Yeah. I got you. Is there any other projects we haven't mentioned?

unknown 36:10

SPEAKER_03 36:52

Man, I don't even know. I I should I went on two. Yeah. And I I was there probably. Did we go two? We went on two. Yeah. You go whenever I had one basically almost on average every every other month, or close to every month, but every other month anyway. Did you go with me?

SPEAKER_00 37:10

I did both of our trips. The second one. I didn't have a trip. And we have some phenomenal trips. I didn't know about it.

SPEAKER_03 37:17

One of my favorite trips that just really at first was kind of was discouraged, but was in February when brother Pastor now of both uh Tabernacle and Denton Texas, Brother Preston Marino, and uh and his wife, Sister Kimberly, Kent. They brought two guys from their church.

SPEAKER_00 37:44

I went on that trip.

SPEAKER_03 37:45

Two guys and two girls. And two girls. Yeah, we done a youth event it was supposed to be a youth event. Last one we had was 200 people there. Well, this one we didn't have 20 people.

SPEAKER_00 37:56

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_03 37:57

You know, because it was coffee picking and but I'm telling you there were some phenomenal things done. And the few people that were there was ministered to. And uh we had a great trip.

SPEAKER_02 38:12

I can say on that trip.

SPEAKER_03 38:14

You were there, yeah. That's right.

Container Logistics And What Was Shipped

SPEAKER_02 38:16

That's I can't got more blessed on that trip than any trip you ever did. That's right. Because that trip meant more to me than any trip. He completely changed tremendous time. It was crazy.

SPEAKER_03 38:29

Yeah, he did. I and he told me that. And and God, and and that had a matter of fact, he didn't want to go home.

SPEAKER_02 38:34

Yeah. His mom got her feeling hurt, and he didn't want to go home.

SPEAKER_03 38:37

Yeah, because the Lord, I remember that boy well, God changed his. I mean, he's been a tremendous, but God he was at a tough time in his life, and the Lord ministered to him. And I think some of the young people that was with Brother Preston and him, the Lord really ministered. Some of them guys were doing, they were preaching and teaching uh some for the first time. Well, them two boys, I think that's the first time they ever been out of the country, wasn't it? Yeah, that was their first mission trip, but they was able to with interpreters and they done phenomenal and and all. And so it was great. That was a uh a mem memorable trip and all.

SPEAKER_00 39:18

Yeah, then two then two boys, yeah, they got sick that last year. Oh my god. Both of them both of them, both of them were in the hotel.

SPEAKER_02 39:26

One of them got sick in the car, and the other got sick. Yeah, I should know. He threw up on the hotel.

SPEAKER_03 39:31

Let's not get too uh, you know, we are alive. You gotta know the full detail, man. And by the way, y'all can't see this, but there's my grandson right there. They Okay, go ahead.

SPEAKER_00 39:45

All right.

SPEAKER_03 39:45

All right.

SPEAKER_00 39:46

So was that the first trip of the year?

SPEAKER_03 39:49

Maybe.

SPEAKER_00 39:50

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 39:51

I'm not for sure. Uh uh, we took a lot of trips.

SPEAKER_04 39:53

I'd have to sit down and really My first trip, the uh brother Danny had called me, contacted me, and And just sharing the burden that the pastors were really just struggling, just discouraged. And um and the Lord put some things in my heart to to preach to them. And uh and I told Brother Deanny, and Brother Deanny said I said, it's gonna be a quick scheduling. And uh and so literally within a week I scheduled a trip and went. Uh just because we felt it was that destiny was that and that serious. And uh, but man, the Lord helped us, and we went there and me and Brother Dre and um and I preached every day and preached to the pastors. That trip was awesome. And um it was a powerful trip. It really was. It was a powerful trip. It was just you and Drew. And but we saw the Lord really minister to the pastors and uh stir their hearts for them to see the the that that everything they do is dealing in eternity. And uh and so it was uh it was a good time.

SPEAKER_00 41:07

It was. I I didn't get to be there, but I heard about it. We talked about it on the we did a podcast on it. Uh I want to do a little like I want to like on everyone say at least one story. What was the most impactful story you have from that specific trip?

SPEAKER_04 41:25

I I guess it was like it was the third cer the third um third day, third day there, and it was the second session uh teaching. And it was the hardest session because it was so deep and it was so uh because I was teaching on I was teaching on the knowledge of the holy, and uh, but it was so deep and and so and so um brother and brother Crother Luis even looked. Brother Luis even looked at me and said You want to make a comment? Brother Luis even looked at me and said, Brother, I don't know if they're I don't know if they're getting it. And the whole point was for them not to be able to get it. And that that that was too deep anyway, you know. And uh and the but the hook was to turn it to see that uh everything's by faith and by trust in God. And uh and and when we made that hook, the Holy Ghost moved into that service. I I had to stop and tell brother Brother Luis Amigo, just just follow me. I'm going somewhere, I promise you. And uh once he saw it and God hit his heart with it, um that hook turned, and the one that broke it was um the pastor there at um his name's leaving me. Pastor's the big church on the bottom of the at the bottom of the hill, real nice church.

SPEAKER_03 43:07

Um not brother on here.

SPEAKER_04 43:10

No, that's New Jerusalem.

SPEAKER_02 43:13

Go past the city. No, you're talking about going down the hill where you had to park and go to the room. Oh brother, yeah, brother.

SPEAKER_04 43:18

The one we've done 900 all night. That was my most impactful.

SPEAKER_02 43:22

That was my most impactful.

SPEAKER_04 43:24

Don't let me forget my thought.

SPEAKER_02 43:26

Yeah, but that was my there. That was my most impactful meeting that we had.

SPEAKER_00 43:33

It made him almost Francisco.

SPEAKER_03 43:35

No, I I'm trying to go ahead.

SPEAKER_04 43:37

Uh he's a real classy guy. Anyway, it was very, it was he fell on his knees weeping and and it just broke everything loose, and uh, and everybody came into the altars, and it was it was a squaw, yes.

SPEAKER_02 43:52

And it but it was that was my most impactful I always gotta, you know, that's just no he wasn't. Joey was there. No, you were there. Yeah, but no, you were there.

SPEAKER_04 44:08

Yeah, you all might alone on the on that one.

SPEAKER_00 44:10

And then we just went up there and preached for an hour.

SPEAKER_03 44:13

How about with Joey? I'm talking about my experience. You know, that's uh that's my all-night prayer meeting.

SPEAKER_02 44:30

I don't really know what I'd call it.

SPEAKER_00 44:32

Anyway, uh it was an all-night prayer meeting until that lady was done, then it was singing.

SPEAKER_02 44:39

Yeah, but that lady done good.

SPEAKER_00 44:40

She done good, but when she was done, let's get back on it, bro.

SPEAKER_04 44:44

Let's get back on track. That all night prayer meeting was. But that was my most impactful of all but in that trip. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 44:51

You're doing too serious.

SPEAKER_02 44:56

Do we have any questions from the crowd?

SPEAKER_00 45:00

Nope question? This is a live podcast. Hello, Ariel. This is on Facebook right now. Your voice is live right now.

SPEAKER_03 45:11

That all night prayer made Brother Richard end up in the trap there. And I was between those. While we was enduring a quartet that we didn't know what they were saying before. That's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_02 45:25

It would be nice if I could have understood what they were singing about. That's funny.

SPEAKER_00 45:29

I couldn't understand a word. Uh not I've heard Glory Audio.

SPEAKER_02 45:33

I couldn't even understand C at the point.

SPEAKER_00 45:38

It was it was good though. It was a good word. That little boy got the Holy Ghost. It was awesome. That was that was last year, right? That was awesome. Alright, so what was uh another trip we had this year that you remember? I want to get to ours. We're not gonna talk too much out of that. We still haven't done a podcast, but we gotta talk to something about it. It was so good.

SPEAKER_03 45:59

Y'all go ahead and talk about that.

SPEAKER_00 46:00

Okay. We're not gonna go too too in-depth with this. Too low. Oh no, we we've got no time limit on this. We're taking as long as we want. I ain't in no hurry to get this done. We did this is a this is the last podcast of 2025. We're taking our time. We ain't in no hurry.

SPEAKER_03 46:20

You can leave if you want. But you may be up here talking to Ben or something. I might be up here by myself.

SPEAKER_01 46:28

I'll have McKinsey and Ben come up here. Now McKinsey come. She's got a lot to say.

SPEAKER_04 46:31

She's like, anyway, that that trip was so that trip was amazing. We set that up to go with, and we actually the way that trip was supposed to go, we had was setting up with another pastor, and um, and he he had double booked and didn't realize it. And so um he ended up not being able to go. And I almost canceled the trip because the dynamic of the trip was we were teaching the young people on um uh the power of the gospel, the power of uh the Holy Ghost, and the power of purity. And that was the three things we were gonna address. And when we talked about the power of purity, our intention was to split the group up and have a lady take the uh young ladies and talk to them about purity, and um, and I was gonna take the young boys, young men, and talk to them about purity, the power of purity. But I I Abatha was soon to leave to go to Bible school, yeah, but the Lord worked it out to where she was able to go on a trip with me. And so we was able to go ahead and fulfill that. And I just know it was the Lord, it was God ordering our steps, and um we saw in one in at one place that we went, we saw more than 250 people born again.

SPEAKER_03 48:13

That was unbelievable. Yeah, it was amazing.

SPEAKER_04 48:15

So the report I wasn't there, but we found out we went there. We weren't there. We weren't even we were out of the country by the time we were out of the country. We were praying for them at the close of every session, um, but we didn't know they were getting saved. Uh, but they they ended up going back to church that Sunday after afterward, and the pastor come to the principal of the school we were where we were doing it at, and he asked him, he said, man, where are all these young people coming from? He said, from our school. And so they asked him, they said, why'd you come? They said, well, when those guys came and preached to us, when we prayed at the end of each session, we all got saved, and we knew that we needed to, our next step was we needed to go to church. So it was pretty, it was pretty awesome, pretty, pretty impressive.

Trip Highlights: Pastors Encouraged

SPEAKER_00 49:05

It was the most, like, it was when we we found out about it, me and Dre found out about it in church. I was absolutely in utter shock when I found out about it because I had not seen that, I had not expected that. It was one of the most, it was the most impactful thing I had ever seen on a trip. Just like that first trip of the year grew me, that trip grew me too in ways I needed both of those trips big time. It really helped me. It was so good. I'm do we're doing a podcast specifically on the trip because so much happened on that trip. So much it I'm not we're not saying anymore about it because I don't want to spoil any more of it. It's such a it's was such a one of the best trips I've ever been on. But uh, Uncle Danny, y'all went on that trip with the the probably the biggest group we've ever had. How did that go?

SPEAKER_03 49:53

Yes, it was it went good. It was a lot of people there, but we yeah, we was able to do a lot of things, and we broke up in different groups and uh we had a lot of and I didn't go on a lot of preaching trips this year. We done this year, we done a lot of kids' crusades. Right. Um Mackenzie and them, you know, uh just different ones, and so we uh had a uh a couple other churches. I want them to come in here right now, wanted I've gonna say something. So we have you done a podcast? I haven't yet. So we've done a lot of kids' crusades and all. And so they were they were very impactful. Um lots of man tears, you know, uh lots of one place area was just lots of Catholicism, but yet man, the they they melted, you know, at the the programs and the Lord really touched their lives and hearts. So so that that's kind of what I uh enjoy, especially the one at Greenwell's, which was outside. We couldn't have it in the building. And uh it was like I said, that was the what I saw the effects of of the kids getting help.

SPEAKER_00 51:09

Right. Yeah, that trip, I almost went on that trip. I didn't get to go on, but I won't lie, I'm glad I missed out on it because the trip we went on was so good. But I don't the trips this year have just been so good. Like, I know because I heard you told Uncle Joey that was one of the most impactful trips you've been on in a while. And it's the truth, they've been so good recently. I went last year, that trip we had didn't compare. It was just so much. We just seen God move so much. It was so good. So, uh, what other trips did we have this year? I don't even remember. I don't I don't I know the three. Those three are the ones I know. Those three are the ones I know. Well you went with Uncle J Uncle J Uncle Jonathan and Jerry Carroll.

SPEAKER_03 51:51

I I did I I had Oh yeah, you didn't get to go. I flew in, and as soon as I got to the airport, we had a death in our church, and I had to fly back out and all. So but John Brother Jonathan done all the wiring at Green Wells, then at Guanespal, they uh fix doors, stain doors, build a canopy over a door, you know, and stuff like that. So uh and then they have some good services because brother Joel and them were there and they done the water filter program to like 70 families and stuff. And so it was uh you know just so much that was done. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 52:26

I got to talk to Brother Joel on the podcast about the water system. I think it's just so cool how he can just go pinpoint every single one where it's at. And there's so many of them up there now. Like are they doing they're doing Greenwells right now?

SPEAKER_03 52:38

They done they did Greenwells you just said? When I had to fly back home. Yeah, that's awesome. I love that.

SPEAKER_00 52:44

Greenwells is just I'm ready to go back up there. I'm ready to go back up there for a service or something. So I'm gonna kind of do some random questions here that y'all might not expect. So, first thing, and daddy, you have to answer this too. If there was a if there was a question you would want somebody to ask, what would it be? And answer that question. So basically ask yourself a question and answer it. I don't know how to do that. What's something you would like to say when it comes to like something that's been going on? Shall we? Pastor?

SPEAKER_04 53:22

Um I guess if you're ha over a missions program, the greatest question you would like to hear asked is, how can I get involved?

SPEAKER_03 53:34

Exactly.

SPEAKER_04 53:35

And uh and so that would probably be the thing that I would desire the most to hear people ask is how do I get involved? And I can tell you that that question is easy to answer because we're a transparent missions program. Um Brother Danny is the leader and lead so excellent with excellence. And um all you have to do is call and find out what we're doing. Um the beautiful thing about what we're doing, you can even call and ask to plan a trip specifically for your church or your group, and we will make that happen. And we'll bring you over there and let you be a part of everything that we're doing in the um in that mountain. And so that's uh if I had to ask for somebody to ask a question to be how to get involved, because I think in in the close of this um journey that we're on, um, and and because I believe we are close to the end, Brother Dean. I think that um the more you do for God, the more you work in the eternal. Um the greater your reward of being heaven, for sure. Bring it in the sheaves. And uh so get involved. Yeah, being a very good thing.

SPEAKER_03 55:07

And it's a report it's a reward here. You know, it is fulfilling a ditto on that because that's that's kind of what popped in my mind was uh what can I do to help to get involved. There's a lot of people asking that, you know, and all. And so we we need we need to, there's unlimited things to do. We just need to, as a as the mission work areas of looking at what we can do, you know, and as far as us uh to present an opportunity for people. And so that's something we're working on, you know, to figure what are we gonna do next. And that's always the big thing. It's kind of tough times when you're uh when you're pastoring and you're working and you're you know, you're like, what's our next you know, project and all that.

SPEAKER_04 56:02

But that's something we didn't talk about, something we didn't talk about tonight is right now we have brother Drees in Honduras, and he is actually uh working in the Bright Mind School, but his main purpose of being there is he's begun language school, and they actually have have uh tutors lined out for him for this. He leaves on um tomorrow tomorrow. Oh, really? Yeah, and he's going back. And um so we're excited about what God's doing for him and through him and supposed to leave and realize he's leaving tomorrow.

SPEAKER_03 56:40

Tomorrow. Yes, yes, sir.

So I'm exact I'm excited about I'm excited about how God's uh got him being a part. And um, and he's he's doing a good job. I agree.

SPEAKER_00 56:54

I agree. Daddy, you got a question you'd like somebody to ask? No, but I was gonna say exactly what they said. Ditto double ditto.

SPEAKER_02 57:03

My thoughts exactly.

SPEAKER_03 57:07

Because there's not a lot of questions you can ask, you know. Because I'm I I I I wouldn't ask, can I go over there and preach or can I go, you know? No, you can go work. You go what what can I do to get involved? And if it is an opportunity, we'll let you know if there is an opportunity for you to preach. We'll let you preach. Yeah, gladly if you can preach. Yeah, you know, yeah. Or if there's a lot of people, we always need, hey, we always need givers, you know, financial, prayer, uh, just in every aspect, every area.

SPEAKER_00 57:43

I did forget about something that we didn't need to talk about, Brother Luisa's truck.

SPEAKER_03 57:47

Yeah, I wasn't going to let you forget that. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 57:49

So there is one big need we do have right now, Uncle Danny. Do you want to talk about it now or end with that? We can that gumbo's smelling good. Okay. Go ahead and go ahead and talk about that, and then we'll start, we'll do our closing.

SPEAKER_03 58:02

This is the big uh big at around 8 30. This is this is a big thing uh that we've been working on for years. We've been needing, Brother Luis has needed a truck for several years. We've put money, money, money into this truck we bought 10 years ago, and uh he's taking care of it. He's adamant about oil changes, about, but over there it's just hard on a truck. So we've been needing to buy him one. When we reached out uh to some people, and uh I was wanting to raise like$15,000 was in my my heart, but we need more than that. And so I uh began to to pray and try to get the timing, ask the Lord, because we've been needing to do this, and I've just felt like it was time, and I began to to ask people probably three weeks ago or so, maybe a month. Uh three weeks. Maybe three weeks. And the Lord has blessed us. We have the fifteen thousand dollars, but we don't want to stop there. Right. Uh and we're wanting to buy Brother Luis, get him a new truck, a new truck or a newer truck. It don't have to be, we're looking at 24s, and we can get one for probably$25,000 at 2024, you know, and all uh, but if we we may end up having to get a 22, 23. Uh but it's phenomenal. I and I'll later give, I'm gonna let people know, you know, kind of not maybe amounts, but who was able to get involved in that. I'm not just trying to point anybody out, but we want people to know how, you know, thankful we are. Yes. Uh, because it just happened, just bam, bam, like that. And and we're not done. So if you want to help, we could still use another five or six thousand dollars, you know, uh or ten thousand. Yeah, really. Because if we get and pay cash for it and we have some left. We'll put it in another area. Right. So now there's so much to do. And so uh we're we're and and today, yesterday, he was supposed to go meet the container, but his truck was on its last leg, and the other guy he stopped by to get him to touch the and he tightened a valve, something too tight, and it blew them, could finish blowing the motor on the truck. So he couldn't even go meet the container, and we may end up having more expenses now because of that. Because he's usually there to work with them to tell them this is was not on the list, but this was on the list and we didn't get to bring it, so can we balance it out? You know, well, he didn't get to do that. They just opened the container, went through it. Hopefully they didn't steal stuff, you know, uh, because he's always there to make sure that kind of stuff. So we don't know, but it'll be there tomorrow. And so if you can help with that, please, we would love we can we can give uh, you know, because he's gonna have to have a little payment, but I'd love to get it totally paid for so he wouldn't have another another eight, eight or ten thousand dollars, man. We could have uh a really nice truck and have that dude paid for. Yeah. You know, and if if it's ever been someone deserved one, I don't have a new truck. It's not for me. Listen, it's a joy for me to I got a truck with 300,000 miles on it, and but but I I'm so thrilled to be able to get him a truck. Uh, you know, I need a new truck, but I'm we're giving our church and us, we're giving to help him get something, you know. And so if you can be a part of that, you want to, we can you can just kind of look at the uh podcast.

SPEAKER_00 1:01:38

I'm gonna do a post later on specifically for that. So where we can specifically give like the ways you can give it you can give and stuff. So we'll do a post about that in a couple couple days here. Because it is a big need. He's that truck's yeah, it's done.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:52

Well, it's done now. I mean, it's uh he does so much. He may can fix it, but it's gonna cost a lot, and he'll have to do that on it later on because everything we get's not going is going for a new one uh bus and and so any kind of help y'all can give with that, we really do appreciate and we really do need it.

SPEAKER_00 1:02:10

He needs that truck really bad. So we're gonna this thing's gone long, yeah, which I expected, but or I hoped. But it's been awesome. So we're gonna go ahead and end it. I want to end it. Uncle Danny, I'm giving you two things to ask. One, please do one if you can. Give some kind of little testimony at the end, and then do a prayer for the next year and for everybody listening.

Kids’ Crusades And Community Response

SPEAKER_03 1:05:02

Amen. Father, we love you. We're so thankful today, God, for the opportunity to work for you to build the kingdom of God. We understand that it is a kingdom work. It's not about any individual. The Lord, it is the body of Christ working together to see souls saved. And Lord, we thank you for those that you've blessed us with, to be a part and to partner with us, God, uh, to see this vision fulfilled. And I ask that you would uh continue to bless God's little one as we look to 2026. That you would anoint us, God, for the task that lies ahead, because it doesn't matter if we have something to entertain someone, if we don't have an anointing to destroy the yoke, then it's not going to accomplish anything. And so I ask God that you would help us to have vision, help us to uh see your vision implemented in Honduras and in our local church, local missions. Lord, all of our missionary friends, God, all across the world that we know that are uh working for you in various countries and different places. We ask that you would bless them. Let your anointing rest upon them, God, meet their needs, give them protection and provision. And we just thank you, Lord. Thank you for my family, thank you for my wife, Lord. I appreciate her. Thank you for my daughters that uh back this, Lord, and just all that you've done for us. You've been faithful, and we're gonna continue to work until you come. In the name of Jesus, we pray and we're thankful. Amen.

unknown 1:06:35
