SPEAKER_04: So we came here.
SPEAKER_04: I was almost in trouble, almost ready to say, I don't think this will work.
SPEAKER_04: I believe in my heart that I asked one Russian man a long time ago, I asked him, What should I do?
SPEAKER_04: Should I marry or should I not?
SPEAKER_04: He told me this is what a Russian man.
SPEAKER_04: I don't know.
SPEAKER_04: They joke like that.
SPEAKER_04: He said, if you marry, you will regret.
SPEAKER_04: If you don't marry, you will regret.
SPEAKER_04: Choose where you want to regret.
SPEAKER_04: But I'm telling you the truth before God, I don't regret.
SPEAKER_04: I'm the happiest man married to Antoinette Mukamisha with five children.
SPEAKER_04: Because of what?
SPEAKER_04: They you show me the vulnerability.

SPEAKER_04: You don't have don't need to have American marriage, you need to have kingdom marriage.
SPEAKER_04: Hallelujah! Marriage is the project of God.
SPEAKER_04: That's why every time you put God in equation, it must be a success.
SPEAKER_04: If you don't put God in equation, it will be a failure.

SPEAKER_04: That's the only explanation I could find.
SPEAKER_04: And if there is anyone who needs to get credit, is Antoinette.
SPEAKER_04: Not me.
SPEAKER_04: Antoinette, that's the first explanation.
SPEAKER_04: The second explanation is Antoinette.
SPEAKER_04: Hallelujah! Amen.

SPEAKER_01: I have a husband and four children.
SPEAKER_01: We used it to live in a terrible situation, sleeping outside because of a damaged house.
SPEAKER_01: Always drank an alcohol kanyanga.
SPEAKER_01: Often ending up in jail because of that lifestyle.
SPEAKER_01: Later, we encountered Comfort My People International during a cruise day.
SPEAKER_01: Organized.
SPEAKER_01: They appreciate the word of God to us and we were transformed as we accepted Jesus.
SPEAKER_01: Not only that, but they also witnessed this beautiful house with its country and even provided electricity.
SPEAKER_01: We thank God and the comfort might be for international family because our lives have completely changed.
SPEAKER_01: There are no conflicts in our family.

SPEAKER_01: My name is Amy Vazimia.
SPEAKER_01: Before joining the Team Challenge Funda program, I was living a life of addiction.
SPEAKER_01: I was involved in various disruptive behaviors, including accounts, sex addiction, malignant use, and other harmful activities.
SPEAKER_01: These choices had serious consequences in my life, including losing choice and my job as I was working for the wonderful education.
SPEAKER_01: Later I counted the child channel in Swanda who helped me find freedom through the world.
SPEAKER_01: I no longer use drugs additionally.
SPEAKER_01: I have written to faith-based jobs, and after completing my program, I continue my studies at the university and I'm now in the final.
SPEAKER_01: I work closely with Comfort My People International and my Pastor William.
SPEAKER_01: This ministry has greatly supported us as together we have been able to spread the gospel to many people that have adapted and accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior.
SPEAKER_01: And today we have a large number of people that have left and other sharp behaviors.
SPEAKER_01: This organization also helps the less fortunate and providing food and medical showers, especially for orphans and widows.
SPEAKER_01: Because of these efforts, the life of the church has been transformed, and people's living condition has improved through the program of God.
SPEAKER_04: Again, we could not do this without many of you guys.
SPEAKER_04: Harmony, they help us a lot of this project.
SPEAKER_04: Mama Brit and Pastor Watt, Joshua Robertson, Carly, and many others, they saw so much.
SPEAKER_04: We could not do this without so many people who saw in this ministry.
SPEAKER_04: Now we have impact in the country.
SPEAKER_04: In my cell phone, I have the telephone of generals, of army, ministers, governors.
SPEAKER_04: Not because I want to find them, because I want to find those nobody needs.
SPEAKER_04: And God gave me those everybody need.
SPEAKER_04: Hallelujah.
SPEAKER_04: The chief police of Rwanda today, I text with him back and forth Bible verses every morning because of what he saw.
SPEAKER_04: And God is doing.
SPEAKER_04: Hallelujah.
SPEAKER_04: So thank you so much.
SPEAKER_04: Thank you so much.
SPEAKER_04: And even better than that, last year I went to India and I shared the testimony.
SPEAKER_04: And they are doing the same in India.
SPEAKER_04: They told me that their church is growing, growing.
SPEAKER_04: Some churches here in Rwanda they start because of the work of comfort, my people.
SPEAKER_04: Some churches double because we become the pastors of pastors.
SPEAKER_04: The training of pastor with pastor was that where the beginning starts.
SPEAKER_04: And then little by little, everybody's saying, you are a role model.
SPEAKER_04: You are a good example for us.
SPEAKER_04: But I'm telling you the truth.
SPEAKER_04: We didn't even plan about it.
SPEAKER_04: I remember when I left here, Pastor Eward told me to don't start a church.
SPEAKER_04: I say, so what am I gonna do?
SPEAKER_04: Because I was thinking the church is, but we build the kingdom of God.
SPEAKER_04: And because we are building the kingdom of God, is automatically we are building the church.
SPEAKER_04: Hallelujah.
SPEAKER_04: The kingdom of God is bigger than anything.
SPEAKER_04: Amen.
SPEAKER_04: We believe in the local church, we believe in the church.
SPEAKER_04: Every time we have evangelism, we work with churches, we work with pastors, we empower them.
SPEAKER_04: Many they don't they didn't have education, they didn't know what it looked like.
SPEAKER_04: But the model of this church, the kingdom model of this church is be implemented in all Africa through the teaching and the knowledge God is giving us.
SPEAKER_04: We are following the model of Christ, we are making impact.
SPEAKER_04: And not only that, even other countries in Africa, in Burundi, in Congo, in Tanzania, they are coming and they are learning.
SPEAKER_04: And God is doing many, many things.
SPEAKER_04: Because the principle of God works everywhere.
SPEAKER_04: Everywhere in America, in Africa, when you use the principle, even you are not a believer, if you use the principle of God, God will bless you.
SPEAKER_04: Amen.
SPEAKER_04: We thank you again.
SPEAKER_04: And I finish this uh introduction by asking you, you can all come to the missions in Africa.
SPEAKER_04: I'm waiting for you.
SPEAKER_04: I'm waiting in the missions.
SPEAKER_04: You will be blessed, you will find your purpose, you will find some of you will never go to the mission, some of you, but you can pray, you can also give, you can also do whatever God is giving to you.
SPEAKER_04: And if you can, please come at least once.
SPEAKER_04: I saw so many.
SPEAKER_04: We start here.
SPEAKER_04: I saw so many children, so many children from Oklahoma, from other countries, from state of America, who came, who didn't know believe even God.
SPEAKER_04: But when they came in Africa, we have an evangelism, they pray for the sick, and the sick are healed, and they are young, and they got transformed, and they say they turn and they say, You know what?
SPEAKER_04: There is a God, it can be win-win.
SPEAKER_04: Amen.
SPEAKER_04: Don't just come yourself, come with your family, bring them, let's be part, let's be part of building a house for widows.
SPEAKER_04: They will understand how fortunate they are.
SPEAKER_04: Mission is for everybody, is everyone when Jesus said, He said, Go to the whole world and preach the gospel.
SPEAKER_04: He said, first of all, he said, You will receive power.
SPEAKER_04: He said, Power, power, power.
SPEAKER_04: Please, three times.
SPEAKER_04: A little bit now with the pam.
SPEAKER_04: Yes, you will receive power.
SPEAKER_04: You will receive power.
SPEAKER_04: No, it's not just to be in this full woman, it's to receive power and to go outside from Belgium in Columbia, in Denver, in America, up to the end of the year.
SPEAKER_04: Hallelujah! Yes, I don't know where this came from.
SPEAKER_04: Every time people are saved, they come and sit in the church.
SPEAKER_04: Where is that?
SPEAKER_04: They say you will receive power and you will become the mysterious to the end of the earth.
SPEAKER_04: You will start moving, you will start doing something.
SPEAKER_04: Hallelujah.
SPEAKER_04: You will go, you will go to the nation.
SPEAKER_04: Sometimes if we don't see miracles, it's because we don't go.
SPEAKER_04: Like tell you, if I was a disciple of Jesus, when he told them, say, go to the whole world and preach the gospel, I don't know what I'll be sitting there.
SPEAKER_04: I'll tell him, I say, Jesus, where is the budget?
SPEAKER_04: Where is the budget?
SPEAKER_04: I don't have a budget.
SPEAKER_04: To travel, you need money.
SPEAKER_04: To travel, you need a lot of money.
SPEAKER_04: But if God can use a wild African like me and preach gospel in 40 countries, how much you American?
SPEAKER_04: Hallelujah! He can do even better.
SPEAKER_04: Sometimes he you you you you just need to believe that's what he needs.
SPEAKER_04: He just needs to believe.
SPEAKER_04: Sometimes you have empty pocket, and sometimes you even have empty head.
SPEAKER_04: But if you are obedience, yeah, he will feel it, he will feel it, he will feel it, he will fill it with your anointing, he will fill it with your power, he will give you, you know.
SPEAKER_04: The problem we have is lack of faith.
SPEAKER_04: Lack of faith.
SPEAKER_04: God does not need money, he knows we need money, but he can resurrect things.
SPEAKER_04: If what if you just believe that what it all matters, if you just believe.
SPEAKER_04: Believe you know the problem is with the belief.
SPEAKER_04: Let me take an example.
SPEAKER_04: If you take an orange, you squeeze it, what comes out?
SPEAKER_04: Orange juice.
SPEAKER_04: Okay.
SPEAKER_04: If you come lemon, you squeeze it, what come out?
SPEAKER_04: Orange juice.
SPEAKER_04: If you come uh watermelon, you squeeze it, what come out?
SPEAKER_04: Whatever come out.
SPEAKER_04: If you take a believer, you squeeze him, what come out?
SPEAKER_04: You know, when sometime they squeeze you and something unbelievable becomes in you, that means there was in belief in you.
SPEAKER_04: You the really thing will happen when you are squeezed.
SPEAKER_04: When you are squeezed.
SPEAKER_04: When you are squeezed, that's when the thing that is in you come out.
SPEAKER_04: If it's Jesus, Jesus will come out.
SPEAKER_04: If it's faith, faith will come out.
SPEAKER_04: Hallelujah.
SPEAKER_04: You don't know someone until his very squeeze, until they squeeze like lemon, they bum, and then you see something come out.
SPEAKER_04: Hallelujah.
SPEAKER_04: You know, during Corona time, so many people were squeezed, and so many think died, and life will never be the same again.
SPEAKER_04: And today, people are divided between those who believe in vaccine and those who don't believe in the vaccine.
SPEAKER_04: The world is divising that.
SPEAKER_04: Even in Africa, the world is divisive between those who love Trump and those who don't love Trump.
SPEAKER_04: But in the church, we don't need that.
SPEAKER_04: Hallelujah! Everybody is welcome.
SPEAKER_04: You can ask anybody here, like Bob Young, how many presidents he saw?
SPEAKER_04: Many president and gum and gum and trump will be must.
SPEAKER_04: When the kingdom will come, what we need to do after corona, we need to preach more, we need to have faith more, more and more.
SPEAKER_04: No this tribalism.
SPEAKER_04: If there is people who know the consequence of tribalism, is us African ask us.
SPEAKER_04: We know tribalism how it killed people, the fear how it killed people.
SPEAKER_04: But we are we we didn't we didn't get spirit of faith or fear, we got spirit of faith, fearless faith.
SPEAKER_04: Hallelujah! Fearless, I'm not afraid of tomorrow.
SPEAKER_04: I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid.
SPEAKER_04: I have because I know I'm in the side of the winner, the Jesus Christ who already the world, we are planning the game, that is all at the world, Jesus.
SPEAKER_04: Even it goes crazy outside.
SPEAKER_04: I'm in God, I'm in the kingdom of God.
SPEAKER_04: I'm not in the kingdom of the world.
SPEAKER_04: Hallelujah, hallelujah.
SPEAKER_04: Have faith, if you believe, if you believe, only if you believe what God is looking for is your face, He wants to see you.
SPEAKER_04: I know He told him, if you believe, I will resurrect everything.
SPEAKER_04: I remember during Corona, the police came to Rwanda and told us we don't want anybody here.
SPEAKER_04: Send everybody home.

SPEAKER_04: For me to be here is because of restoration God is doing here.
SPEAKER_04: The work God is doing through Pastor Luke and through the leader of this church.
SPEAKER_04: But I want to challenge you.
SPEAKER_04: Where did you lay down your prayer request?
SPEAKER_04: Where did you lay down your dream?
SPEAKER_04: Maybe you give up on your marriage.
SPEAKER_04: Maybe you give up on your child.
SPEAKER_04: Maybe you give up your children.
SPEAKER_04: Maybe you give up on your mission to go to the mission trip.
SPEAKER_04: Maybe you give up something God deposit in you.
SPEAKER_04: You want to become refugee in your own world.
SPEAKER_04: Like me.
SPEAKER_04: I want to become refugee in Kenya.
SPEAKER_04: But I'm telling you, Jesus is the resurrection.
SPEAKER_04: He can resurrect everything.
SPEAKER_04: Anything.
SPEAKER_04: Martha and Mary was asking for healing.
unknown: There was.
SPEAKER_04: Please, please come come heal our brother, heal our brother.
SPEAKER_04: Jesus said, Ah, I have a better.
SPEAKER_04: I have better.
SPEAKER_04: I have a resurrection.
SPEAKER_04: I don't want to give you healing.
SPEAKER_04: I want to give you even better.
SPEAKER_04: The resurrection.
SPEAKER_04: I know so many, so many prophetic words for this church.
SPEAKER_04: God has even better.
SPEAKER_04: He has the resurrection.
SPEAKER_04: The restoration.
SPEAKER_04: The resurrection.
SPEAKER_04: Better plan.
SPEAKER_04: Better plan than yours.
SPEAKER_04: Just believe.
SPEAKER_04: Just don't give up.
SPEAKER_04: Today I learned to never, never give.
SPEAKER_04: I you'd rather kill me.
SPEAKER_04: I you'd rather me see dead.
SPEAKER_04: But I will still believe God will do.
SPEAKER_04: God is so good to me.
SPEAKER_04: Because every time when he attacks our faith, he just wants to ask, do you still believe God is good?
SPEAKER_04: Do you?
SPEAKER_04: After all this, you think God is good?
SPEAKER_04: Yes.
SPEAKER_04: After it does not make sense after the pain you go through.
SPEAKER_04: You know the problem of Americans?
SPEAKER_04: Because you are used too much to McDonald's.
SPEAKER_04: Everything is fast.
SPEAKER_04: Go there.
SPEAKER_04: They give you fast.
SPEAKER_04: So you don't know how to wait.
SPEAKER_04: That's something African, we are good.
SPEAKER_04: We can wait.
SPEAKER_04: We don't have a problem waiting because we don't have a choice.
SPEAKER_04: But for you guys, you live in instant and word.
SPEAKER_04: You want food?
SPEAKER_04: You want this?
SPEAKER_04: Quickly.
SPEAKER_04: But in Africa, sometimes you sit in the restaurant two hours, you are waiting for hamburger.
SPEAKER_04: And you say, it's where?
SPEAKER_04: Because when they you say we're chicken, they go catch the chicken before they kill it and bring it.
SPEAKER_04: So you there is a friend of mine asking me, How your children, how your chicken eat here?
SPEAKER_04: How you I said, we don't feed them, they just run away.
SPEAKER_04: They find the food for themselves.
SPEAKER_04: We don't care.
SPEAKER_04: So in a restaurant, they go cook when you are just asking, that you can find a chicken and kill it.
SPEAKER_04: So you something is not quick, like you expect all the time.
SPEAKER_04: Some healing are not quick, some healing are a process, something takes time, something must take time, something goes through hardship.
SPEAKER_04: Squeeze, they squeeze it until the best comes out of it.
SPEAKER_04: And then when you come, you are happy.
SPEAKER_04: You look, you say, Oh God, thank you.
SPEAKER_04: Thank you.
SPEAKER_04: Amen.
SPEAKER_04: Let's believe God.
SPEAKER_04: Don't give up.
SPEAKER_04: Don't give up in anything.
SPEAKER_04: God told you, He will accomplish.
SPEAKER_04: Let me tell you, if you die, you don't see it.
SPEAKER_04: It will still come to pass because God is God of resurrection.
SPEAKER_04: Don't give up.
SPEAKER_04: Don't give up in your faith.
SPEAKER_04: Oh, I pray, I pray, and nothing happened.
SPEAKER_04: Oh, now I know it's not for me.
SPEAKER_04: It's my defather.
SPEAKER_04: God told you lay hand on the sick, and the sick will be hit.
SPEAKER_04: You keep praying and nothing is happening.
SPEAKER_04: You give up.
SPEAKER_04: Maybe the last person that God was about to start giving you breakthrough.
SPEAKER_04: Before you know, you give up.
SPEAKER_04: Do you know how much many how many years Abraham prayed for?
SPEAKER_04: It was not two days.
SPEAKER_04: Do you know how many days David waited to be a king?
SPEAKER_04: It was not one year, it was not two years.
SPEAKER_04: Do you know?
SPEAKER_04: All these people, men of God, who got big breakthrough.
SPEAKER_04: Let me tell you the truth.
SPEAKER_04: Big problem, big blessing.
SPEAKER_04: Small problem, small blessing.
SPEAKER_04: What do you want?
SPEAKER_04: Big problem, big blessing.
SPEAKER_04: Small.
SPEAKER_04: There never be big breakthrough.
SPEAKER_04: Jesus Himself, he went through death.
SPEAKER_04: Martha, they didn't tell him, he said, This will not end with death.
SPEAKER_04: This is not the end.
SPEAKER_04: I know some promises will come to pass even when I'm not around.
SPEAKER_04: You know, like a God told Elisha.
SPEAKER_04: He said, You got a double anointing.
SPEAKER_04: You will get a double anointing.
SPEAKER_04: And he got, he resurrected 13 people.
SPEAKER_04: He died 13 miracles.

SPEAKER_04: God never died.
SPEAKER_04: And there was somebody, and they found the enemy was coming.
SPEAKER_04: They take the dead body, they throw it on the bones.
SPEAKER_04: He wake up and run as fast as God.
SPEAKER_04: The people see they look back.
SPEAKER_04: They see the dead body is coming.
SPEAKER_04: They see what is coming.
SPEAKER_04: They come run more.
SPEAKER_04: Because God is faithful.
SPEAKER_04: God is faithful.
SPEAKER_04: Just believe.
SPEAKER_04: Let me finish with this.
SPEAKER_04: Let me wrap up with John.
SPEAKER_04: First John Five.

SPEAKER_04: And this is the victory that has overcome the world.
SPEAKER_04: Our faith.
SPEAKER_04: Who is that overcome the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.
SPEAKER_04: The poverty, the sickness, challenges.
SPEAKER_04: Word is not this dirty.
SPEAKER_04: Word is not this thing.
SPEAKER_04: That the world.
SPEAKER_04: And everyone who is born from Christ.
SPEAKER_04: Everyone who is must overcome the world.
SPEAKER_04: And we what we use is our faith.
SPEAKER_04: It's to refuse fearless faith.
SPEAKER_04: So much going on now in the world.
SPEAKER_04: Fear, fear, fear, fear after fear after fear.
SPEAKER_04: I look and I say, What?
SPEAKER_04: What's going on in the world?
SPEAKER_04: Why do they want to put all this?
SPEAKER_04: But the men of God, people of God, they are fearless.
SPEAKER_04: Fearless faith.
SPEAKER_04: We need people who have fearless faith.
SPEAKER_04: It will come to pass.
SPEAKER_04: If you stay alone in this world, in this church, but you still believe what God said about it.
SPEAKER_04: You know, God does not play with usually with majority.
SPEAKER_04: No, he is not.
SPEAKER_04: Read the story of Gideon.
SPEAKER_04: There was 10,000 people there.
SPEAKER_04: He said, This is too much.
SPEAKER_04: If you win a victory with these two 10,000, you will think it's you.
SPEAKER_04: Send them home.
SPEAKER_04: Oh, it's still too much.
SPEAKER_04: Cut again.
SPEAKER_04: Until you hit 300.
SPEAKER_04: That's a good sign.
SPEAKER_04: You know what?
SPEAKER_04: Because when you are inside of God, you are majority.
SPEAKER_04: Even you are alone.
SPEAKER_04: What he requires from you?
SPEAKER_03: Faith.
SPEAKER_04: Nothing else.
SPEAKER_04: Even Gideon didn't have faith, didn't trust him, it will not come to pass.
SPEAKER_04: I can tell you so many hopeless situations.
SPEAKER_04: I find myself, it's just because of time.
SPEAKER_04: But God went through.
SPEAKER_04: And breakthrough came.
SPEAKER_04: Because you say, I believe in God.
SPEAKER_04: Like one of men of God told me, He said, Sometimes you even pray, you say, God, I don't understand, but I praise you.
SPEAKER_04: I love you.
SPEAKER_04: I praise you.
SPEAKER_04: I don't understand what is going on.
SPEAKER_04: Hallelujah.
SPEAKER_04: Say, thank you, God.
SPEAKER_04: I know you will have got to.
SPEAKER_04: I know.
SPEAKER_04: I'm not giving up on you.
SPEAKER_04: Can give up in anything.
SPEAKER_04: Your children don't give up.
SPEAKER_04: Don't give up.
SPEAKER_04: Refuse to give up.
SPEAKER_04: Speak life.
SPEAKER_04: Even they go further.
SPEAKER_04: You just still stand in the faith.
SPEAKER_04: You know, you know, you know, you know.
SPEAKER_04: My children will be.
SPEAKER_04: Glory to God.
SPEAKER_04: Glory.
SPEAKER_04: Everyone.
SPEAKER_04: Everyone in this room.
SPEAKER_04: Everyone who is born from God must overcome the word.
SPEAKER_04: And the word is the challenges.
SPEAKER_04: Because God is God of the resurrection.
SPEAKER_04: He will resurrect.
SPEAKER_04: The death is not the end.
SPEAKER_04: For God, the death is not even the end.
SPEAKER_04: Put me anything.
SPEAKER_04: I just want to.
SPEAKER_04: Tell me.
SPEAKER_04: Let me tell you the truth.
SPEAKER_04: You can be sick, you can lose money, your business, you can lose your faith.
SPEAKER_04: Parents, you can lose people you love.
SPEAKER_04: You can, but if you still have faith, you will come out.
SPEAKER_04: Four or five attack problem.
SPEAKER_04: But if you still have faith, you will come out and you will still have a testimony.
SPEAKER_04: But let me say, one of these, just one, and if you are hopeless, you never come out.
SPEAKER_04: So the problem is just you can have the problem is not a problem, it's how you respond to the problem.
SPEAKER_04: How do you how your response is to the problem?
SPEAKER_04: If you go, oh, that you don't you become speaking and believe, you start progressing, you start saying, Ah, just God is not God.
SPEAKER_04: I think God.
SPEAKER_04: Where are you?
SPEAKER_04: Why don't you see me?
SPEAKER_04: Why don't you like me?
SPEAKER_04: Why the that's what the that was about devil, that's what he wants to plant in your spirit, so you give up.
SPEAKER_04: But if you don't give up, you stand in the word of God, you believe in the word of God, you will see miracles, you will see miracles, you will see miracles, you will see salvation, you will see many, many, many healing, you will see deliverance if you don't give up.
