part of our program today, we've got

16
00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:40.480
some other guests on us today because
we're talking about a trip that we went

17
00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:44.000
or went on a few weeks ago
doing a bit of a review, and

18
00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:47.840
we traveled. Sometimes we like to
do talking points on the road, talking

19
00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:52.359
point live from different places. So
a couple of weeks ago, end of

20
00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:57.359
April, we took talking Point on
the road to Paris, France. We

21
00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:01.920
Um, my friend is not great, but I will say bone sure,

22
00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:06.640
bonsa bat. It's as much as
I know, I understand it more than

23
00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:08.840
I speak it. But hey,
let's we'll do what we can. But

24
00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:14.479
joining us, so we traveled with
Pastor Ray Patrick, who is out and

25
00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:19.360
about today. I think he's in
Clapton bats he today. Um so,

26
00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:27.520
But with us who traveled was Tara, Tara Pedro's wife, heyding par Tara,

27
00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:30.039
I'm okay, how you guys doing. We're good, We're good.

28
00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:36.840
And also her partner in crime Josephine, who you all should know from the

29
00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:43.039
Breakfast Show and um he hears you
the Press show on a Wednesday. Josephine

30
00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:53.319
us partner in Christ partner Christ.
Yes, don't you can imagine? Just

31
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:58.280
for the last is here. We
had a really good weekend. Um the

32
00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:00.479
team that went out, So we're
going to be sharing a bit about our

33
00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:06.639
experiences of our time in France and
just kind of how it was for us

34
00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:10.840
in terms of being part of a
little bit part of a campaign, the

35
00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:16.280
worship experience, and just being somewhere
where we don't speak the language. Fully.

36
00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:22.560
Yeah, I think we all spoke
very little, very little, but

37
00:03:22.599 --> 00:03:24.960
we're able to kind of be part
of that service and experience anyway. So

38
00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:30.800
and I think that for me was
my opener. I mean, praise worship

39
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:34.759
music, you know, it's it's
universal, and we were able to just

40
00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:38.120
be part of it. And even
though we couldn't understand all of it,

41
00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:40.879
um you know, the spirit word, the spirit moved and we were truly

42
00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:45.800
truly blessed. So yes, so
it's worshiping any language, as it were.

43
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:52.000
So as there's always as we're starting, let's um enter ask God to

44
00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:55.159
be with us for our program today. So let's pray, Father God.

45
00:03:55.159 --> 00:03:59.360
I want to thank you for blessers
with another sabbath, Dear Lord, and

46
00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:02.800
want to thank you for the opportunity
that we have on this platform to share

47
00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:08.080
your word and share our experiences and
hopefully somebody will be inspired and will be

48
00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:11.719
blessed. I pray that you keep
us all safe and help us to have

49
00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:16.240
an enjoyable program. And yes,
thank you Lord for being so amazing.

50
00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:25.879
That's my prayer. Amen. Amen, Amen. So how is everybody?

51
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:29.000
Let's start off with how everybody's week
has been. I know we always do

52
00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:31.680
this, and I've had a few
people tell me, come on, your

53
00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:38.120
week's must be quite exciting, must
quite interesting. So let's start with you,

54
00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:43.519
Pejo, how's your week been?
Fast? I know, right,

55
00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:47.439
I felt like the bank holiday was
Monday, was chilling at home, I

56
00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:51.319
got the rest a little bit,
and then next thing I know, it's

57
00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:56.720
Friday. I'm like, wow,
where did the week go? He was

58
00:04:56.759 --> 00:05:01.120
just fast, very busy week.
Traveled it coast to coast this week.

59
00:05:01.959 --> 00:05:05.800
Stars in North Wales one day,
the next day I was in holl Wow.

60
00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:11.680
Yeah, that's about it. Just
working, you know, just spending

61
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:15.720
time with the kids and the wife
this weekend and just enjoying the week.

62
00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:21.480
But definitely we went fast. Yeah, we're already nearly midway through the year,

63
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:28.879
that's true. Yeah, that's almost
six months and yeah June six Yeah,

64
00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:33.639
and I think having about I think
having the back holidays as well.

65
00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:38.319
I think that's just making it's making
it feel like it's shorter because you know,

66
00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:41.680
you kind of have a day off
after the Sunday, and I guess,

67
00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:44.920
you know, I think it was
we had the two bank holidays back

68
00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:47.480
to the back. Yeah, and
for me it was even longer. I

69
00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:51.600
mean it was even longer because the
kids. The kids were out of school

70
00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:56.879
the week. You guys went to
friends, so I stayed behind, so

71
00:05:56.920 --> 00:06:00.519
I got the worship on YouTube if
you guys, but um, yeah,

72
00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:04.279
we're having the kids home would made
the weekend even longer. It just felt

73
00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:09.399
weird because they wasn't in school for
a couple of days, um during that

74
00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:12.399
week, so I think, and
then the next week we had the day

75
00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:16.160
off. So it's just made the
weeks go so fast. And yeah,

76
00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:20.399
I didn't enjoy it at all.
Well, back to normal for another couple

77
00:06:20.399 --> 00:06:24.120
of weeks, although we do have
another one. Yeah, in a couple

78
00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:32.600
of weeks. Been spoiled that May
day? What is that? It's not

79
00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:38.319
sure? Actually, good question,
good question that's come at to you.

80
00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:41.680
No, Bermuda has the same thing
on the twenty fourth. They call it

81
00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:46.639
the twenty fourth of May, the
independence or something? Is it my dependence?

82
00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:53.879
We'll look at what I can't remember
another last thing we had was the

83
00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:57.639
coronation. Yeah one, right,
all right, yeah, but I'm not

84
00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:00.439
sure what the end of the month
is. I think it's just yeah,

85
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:06.040
I think it's just another spring back
holiday. I think it is that what

86
00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:10.879
it's called. Yeah, whatever it's
called, I'll take it, thank you

87
00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:19.879
very much. Yeah, well spring, I think he's starting to i'd say

88
00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:26.120
spring a sprung nearly. Yesterday was
cold, Yeah, it was, it

89
00:07:26.279 --> 00:07:30.879
was what happened. It's getting better. So is your week? Um?

90
00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:38.040
My week was good. I I
met with some friends. A friend of

91
00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:44.040
mine came from Montserrat when from and
had been years since I'd seen her,

92
00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:47.680
and she managed to arrange for a
number of us to meet up and it

93
00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:51.360
was a really good night out.
She'd been across the country catching up with

94
00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:56.560
folks Manchester, Birmingham and just bringing
some of our old school friends together.

95
00:07:56.600 --> 00:08:01.319
In fact, she started a chat
um and I'm normally not one for group

96
00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:05.040
chap to be fair, and I
was like, oh, not another one

97
00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:07.560
of them. But I think the
message I took away from from it was

98
00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:11.680
that we really need to get together. A lot of us haven't seen each

99
00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:16.279
other for years and we're sort of
up the road. We've discovered, you

100
00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:20.199
know, who's not sort of two
or three stops away on the train,

101
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:22.959
et cetera. And we thought,
you know, it takes someone to come

102
00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:28.000
from all the way, um,
you know, to sort of bring us

103
00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:30.720
together. And I think we need
to maybe do better at that. And

104
00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:31.840
a lot of us, I think, are at that same place. We

105
00:08:31.919 --> 00:08:35.240
don't take the time that we need
to, whether it has been COVID or

106
00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:39.200
whatever the case might be. But
it's important to make time to see each

107
00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:43.799
other because life is extremely short.
In fact, that was the message she

108
00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:46.799
wanted to drill home. She can't
be meeting up with us over funerals every

109
00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:50.679
time. There needs to be an
occasion where we meet each other just because

110
00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:54.519
And I think that's the message that
we took away from that. We had

111
00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:58.600
a really good time. So yeah, yeah, that's a long story,

112
00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:01.559
but true, that's true. And
as you said, actually because I went

113
00:09:01.559 --> 00:09:07.320
to another funeral this week actually m
so my Yeah, just a shout out

114
00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:11.320
to Joshua Clark and his family.
His mom sadly passed away. It's lovely

115
00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:13.480
service. But again, and there's
a lot of people that came, and

116
00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:16.159
again it was a lot of people
that you haven't seen for a really,

117
00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:20.600
really long time. I mean it
was a great turnout. You know,

118
00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:22.240
she would have loved the service.
But you know, again, so many

119
00:09:22.279 --> 00:09:26.360
people that you think, oh,
I haven't seen you for now because of

120
00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:30.240
COVID. We're talking two three years, you know, so definitely have to

121
00:09:30.279 --> 00:09:33.559
make the effort on that one.
But again, like your Pejo, my

122
00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:37.120
week sped past. It feels like
we've got those sort of days off.

123
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:41.200
It goes quick, and I think
because I'm working from home sometimes it doesn't

124
00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:46.679
feel Also, not working from home, working remotely, sometimes it doesn't almost

125
00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:50.159
feel like you're you are working,
but you're kind of not working. That

126
00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:54.720
makes sense. It's not like your
usual work going into the office. And

127
00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:58.000
because there was a train strike on
Friday, the day that would have normally

128
00:09:58.039 --> 00:10:01.080
gone his office, I didn't.
So yeah, So if anybody who was

129
00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:05.159
trying to get some from A to
B today because I know there's another strike,

130
00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:09.159
I hope your journeys weren't too traumatic. But again, the week flew

131
00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:15.200
past, but you know, thankful
that we're here for another sabbath. I'm

132
00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:18.279
trying to think of anything else that
happened. Maybe nothink exciting. I don't

133
00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:24.720
think I felt tired bleft for the
weekends. So you know, all good,

134
00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:30.440
all good. So Joseph and Natara, how about yourselves. I had

135
00:10:30.480 --> 00:10:33.799
a good week. You know,
I just looked like future Thad like you

136
00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:37.799
said, it's just it's just the
blessing to be alive. It is true.

137
00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:43.679
So yeah, so we thankful,
so so we could be. She's

138
00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:48.200
just trying to be there. Yeah, my week was good. I moved

139
00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:50.480
out from New Bold earlier on in
the week, so it's my first week

140
00:10:50.519 --> 00:10:54.639
back at work for a while.
So I slept more than ever. As

141
00:10:54.679 --> 00:10:58.360
soon as I got home, I
just fell asleep. Yeah, yeah,

142
00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:01.039
it was a good week. I
remember the end and I we were talking

143
00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:09.879
about how we need maybe three or
four days or just absolutely nothing. I'm

144
00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:13.320
jealous. I mean there's something to
be said about and that's probably another another

145
00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:16.559
show. I think, UM talking
about health and a lot more health.

146
00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:22.039
But sleep is sleep is a powerful
thing. We need it and I definitely

147
00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:35.360
enough or whatever. I don't don't
start on radio exactly exactly, UM,

148
00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:41.000
so we're going to be talking about, as we said, talking about um

149
00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:46.919
our trip to Paris. UM Pastor
Bray was out there, UM doing a

150
00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:56.440
campaign with the church in and they
called okay um some of the paris um

151
00:11:56.480 --> 00:11:58.039
and it was kind of a I
think it became a bit of a cumbination

152
00:11:58.080 --> 00:12:03.559
of lots of church coming together.
Yeah, they'd invite him over. The

153
00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:09.559
theme was get up and shine or
left twice Abriel well done. Yeah.

154
00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:11.440
Every time I spoke to somebody though, I just couldn't get it together.

155
00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:15.600
So I'm just like, yeah,
when you hear my clips, you'll be

156
00:12:15.639 --> 00:12:18.320
like, he'll hear me say that. I don't speak French very well.

157
00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:24.320
But it was on from a week
April, and you know, from what

158
00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:28.799
we could see what we heard,
they had great turn out. It was

159
00:12:30.200 --> 00:12:35.679
yeah, packs every evening. They
had some great singers, some great praise

160
00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:39.320
and worship teams. Um. So
yeah, it was a yeah, it

161
00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:43.159
was a really from what I could
see from a little bit that we call

162
00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:46.519
it was definitely its success um.
And we'll talk a little bit about a

163
00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:48.919
bit more about how much of a
success it was in that respect, but

164
00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:52.559
we're gonna go for a bit of
music. Um. We did a lot

165
00:12:52.600 --> 00:12:58.399
of this throughout the weekend, so
I'm we're playing cat Franklin, I smile.

166
00:12:58.039 --> 00:13:03.759
We did lots of smiles, lots
of laughter, um and on a

167
00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:07.080
day where actually it turned out quite
sunny in the end of this afternoon.

168
00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:11.519
So hopefully this will bring a bit
of sunshine, So Kirk Franklin, I

169
00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:35.720

sunshine, nothing but clouds, and it

170
00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:41.559
starck in my heart and it feels
like a cold light. Today's I do

171
00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:50.200
day rama losight. There was a
love and the joy that you can tell

172
00:13:50.320 --> 00:14:03.679

00:18:14.519 --> 00:18:18.680
theme song for another show in another
time, another place. Yeah, we

00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:30.960
won't go into that just yet.
I know, I know, I know.

202
00:18:30.119 --> 00:18:33.799
Back to talking point on Adventist Radio
London and just to let you know

203
00:18:33.839 --> 00:18:38.720
that you can get involved, actually
just saying that you're being blessed you're listening.

204
00:18:38.920 --> 00:18:44.599
It's a studio at Adventist Radio Dot
London or Texas on eight triple to

205
00:18:44.839 --> 00:18:49.119
eight Hope Space. And then your
message and the shout out to the church

206
00:18:49.279 --> 00:18:56.559
in lor Um. Sorry, I'm
not gonna get shout out to the church

207
00:18:56.599 --> 00:18:59.680
in France. I did send a
message to let them know that we were

208
00:18:59.720 --> 00:19:04.319
going to be sharing our experience and
our interviews with them, so if they

209
00:19:04.440 --> 00:19:07.640
have a moment to log in,
so if they are there, and I

210
00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:12.480
just want to say good afternoon to
them, and yeah, possibly they can

211
00:19:12.480 --> 00:19:18.599
shout us up as well. It
was really good to be with them in

212
00:19:18.640 --> 00:19:23.640
France. Right. So, Josephine, I'm gonna put you on the spot.

213
00:19:25.119 --> 00:19:30.319
We're talking about our experience traveling to
France. What we sort of gathered

214
00:19:30.359 --> 00:19:33.920
from the program. Thank you to
Pastorway for inviting us. Really had a

215
00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:38.400
good time and we're looking forward to
the next trip. Just so you know.

216
00:19:40.079 --> 00:19:41.799
But tell me a little bit about
your experience you had you been to

217
00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:45.960
France before, Is this your first
time, and how did you sort of

218
00:19:47.440 --> 00:19:52.519
feel going along as part of the
ministry team. Yeah, I've been to

219
00:19:52.640 --> 00:19:56.160
France before, but when I was
quite young, so it felt different going

220
00:19:56.200 --> 00:20:00.000
as an adult. Okay, But
one thing, I it's about the church

221
00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:04.440
and how it's working, guys.
I found everyone was very diligent in the

222
00:20:04.559 --> 00:20:11.160
role they played. So whoever it
was from singing, like leading worship out

223
00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:19.160
or organization or even like taking us
around to the translation during race sermons.

224
00:20:19.680 --> 00:20:25.680
I just found everyone like took it
like as an act of worship, like

225
00:20:25.799 --> 00:20:30.279
took it very seriously. Because sometimes
you can go to places and it'd be

226
00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:34.599
like either it's it's performative and everyone
just wants to look the best for looking

227
00:20:34.640 --> 00:20:40.319
the best sake, or it's very
like chore like and everyone just wants to

228
00:20:40.359 --> 00:20:44.799
get over and done with as quickly
as possible. But there's definitely a different

229
00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:49.440
dynamic when everyone just takes on their
role as an act of worship and I

230
00:20:49.559 --> 00:20:56.000
mentioned it the score about I can't
remember her name, the translator's name for

231
00:20:56.359 --> 00:21:02.880
Karen, Karen Lod. Yeah,
yeah, I just thought I've never seen

232
00:21:02.960 --> 00:21:04.799
a translator like her. I just
watched to put everything in it. It

233
00:21:04.839 --> 00:21:17.200
was like it was her own terms. Yeah exactly. So it didn't it

234
00:21:17.200 --> 00:21:21.720
didn't stunt like what was being shared. It just allowed everything to run smoothly.

235
00:21:22.359 --> 00:21:27.200
Um. And then I was so
appreciated the anointing service. Um.

236
00:21:27.279 --> 00:21:33.920
I noticed something that a lot of
Adventists are a bit uncertain when it comes

237
00:21:33.960 --> 00:21:37.200
to anointing with oil. Um,
but I think it was made clear.

238
00:21:37.279 --> 00:21:41.359
You know, the power is not
in the object or the oil itself,

239
00:21:41.799 --> 00:21:45.680
but it's in Christ. It's just
um, like I guess symbolism for it

240
00:21:45.920 --> 00:21:48.839
what Christ is doing. And we
saw so many mantain moves. You're gonna

241
00:21:48.880 --> 00:21:53.319
come up to an interview soon that
you guys did. Where he Um,

242
00:21:53.359 --> 00:21:56.799
the leader of the choir, was
saying, you know, he was healed

243
00:21:56.839 --> 00:22:02.759
after he Um got an annointed that
day after the anointing service, so that

244
00:22:02.839 --> 00:22:07.200
day his voice was so much better
by then. And that's just one of

245
00:22:07.359 --> 00:22:12.759
many testimony that comes out of just
letting God and work in the moment,

246
00:22:14.160 --> 00:22:17.119
allowing the Holy Spirit to work.
So yeah, it was beautiful to see.

247
00:22:17.680 --> 00:22:21.920
Yeah it was. And in fact, I remember Pastor Ray speaking about

248
00:22:22.359 --> 00:22:25.400
demonic forces and all that, and
there was so much of that that was

249
00:22:25.480 --> 00:22:30.119
broken and yokes that were broken amongst
that service. So you know what,

250
00:22:30.160 --> 00:22:33.400
we've just got to let God do
his thing, not put boundaries, not

251
00:22:33.440 --> 00:22:37.000
put our own take on it,
but just let God move and let him

252
00:22:37.039 --> 00:22:41.279
work. And as you said,
it's biblical that we use anointing oil,

253
00:22:41.319 --> 00:22:45.000
and Pastor was clear and expressing that
it's biblical. It's not the oil,

254
00:22:45.119 --> 00:22:51.799
but but it's um Christ and the
Spirit moving, allowing the Spirit, and

255
00:22:52.279 --> 00:22:56.640
well, you know, and as
you said, the amount of people that

256
00:22:56.720 --> 00:23:00.920
kind of embrace that as well and
came forwards, it's really powerful to watch.

257
00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:03.680
Yes, other young people as well. You know, I don't realize

258
00:23:03.680 --> 00:23:07.920
this was a youth campaign, um
and actually see how many young people were

259
00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:11.079
moved, Yeah, that way,
and people didn't want to be missed.

260
00:23:11.440 --> 00:23:14.279
There were people, you know,
pushing past, pushing through to make sure

261
00:23:14.319 --> 00:23:17.359
that they got the anointing. And
you know, you don't often see that.

262
00:23:17.640 --> 00:23:21.319
Sometimes we become complacent because we you
know, we're adventures for so long,

263
00:23:21.480 --> 00:23:23.519
we've done it one way or the
other for so long that we don't

264
00:23:23.559 --> 00:23:27.359
realize. And there was a hunger
there that was just so apparent on it

265
00:23:27.359 --> 00:23:30.519
and it was good to see.
It was good to see. Thank you,

266
00:23:30.640 --> 00:23:34.480
Josephine. Um. So are you
saying that you've been to Paris before?

267
00:23:34.480 --> 00:23:37.000
We want to talk about I mean
it was, it was ministry was,

268
00:23:37.359 --> 00:23:41.279
but it was also fun. And
we went on a tour very early

269
00:23:41.319 --> 00:23:45.759
on. And were you impressed with
what you saw of Paris or or what

270
00:23:49.440 --> 00:23:55.519
I appreciated it for what it was
in Paris? Yeah, do you know

271
00:23:55.559 --> 00:23:57.559
what to be fun? I'm not
really a city city person like that,

272
00:23:57.680 --> 00:24:02.400
so um, but I appreciate.
I think next time, for sure,

273
00:24:02.880 --> 00:24:06.079
definitely go and see the Eiffel Tower
at nighttime. Yes, I don't know

274
00:24:06.079 --> 00:24:11.720
if there's any South londonness that listening. But in Crystal Palace we've got a

275
00:24:11.799 --> 00:24:18.960
little tower that we say is the
Eiffel Tower of London. So I don't

276
00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:22.880
know if maybe I have took it
for granted similarity, I'm not sure.

277
00:24:32.319 --> 00:24:34.119
Yeah, yeah, Paris, Um, the Eiffel Tower at night is it's

278
00:24:34.200 --> 00:24:37.920
different, it's a different. Um
it's different the Crystal Palace. Yeah,

279
00:24:37.960 --> 00:24:42.480
different for sure, for sure.
And I think we said that we'll always

280
00:24:42.480 --> 00:24:45.160
got well, we want to go
back and maybe taking more of it and

281
00:24:45.200 --> 00:24:51.759
do a bit more because it was
kind of a whistle stop before they stood

282
00:24:51.799 --> 00:24:56.200
me coming back again place. Yeah, there is lovely aflutely thank you guys

283
00:24:56.200 --> 00:25:03.720
are wonderful people. Oh goodness.
And you did some of the programs from

284
00:25:03.759 --> 00:25:06.279
there as well. I mean we
shared a room and I know when you

285
00:25:06.400 --> 00:25:08.799
sort of kind of cornered off to
do the Breakfast Show, what was the

286
00:25:08.839 --> 00:25:15.440
experience doing it from from Paris?
It actually worked out really nicely. I

287
00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:21.200
don't know, my network works better
in France than it doesn't. You've redeemed

288
00:25:21.200 --> 00:25:26.359
yourself. I've got a big qualm
with three and how they operate. But

289
00:25:27.319 --> 00:25:33.680
this guy's gonna get inach other.
Well, No, it worked out well.

290
00:25:33.079 --> 00:25:37.319
I don't know. There's something about
being in a different country. Um,

291
00:25:37.519 --> 00:25:41.359
It's like the air's different, the
temperature was better at the time.

292
00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:44.759
Um, so yeah, I just
felt a bit more peaceful, felt the

293
00:25:44.839 --> 00:25:48.200
love in the air. Did you
get a lot of the French um listeners

294
00:25:48.400 --> 00:25:53.200
tuning in? Did they sort of
at some point even so now they are

295
00:25:53.279 --> 00:26:00.759
tuning into the great they're speaking.
They type in French, so I have

296
00:26:00.839 --> 00:26:03.960
to hand it over to Ray to
pronounce it, but I cannot really good

297
00:26:03.960 --> 00:26:08.559
for the life of me. Yea, that's good and actually, Josephine,

298
00:26:08.559 --> 00:26:11.079
I mean. One of the things
one that's also a little bit more about

299
00:26:11.119 --> 00:26:15.400
us later is the fact that actually
we don't necessarily speak the language. And

300
00:26:15.440 --> 00:26:18.160
I was quite surprised in some ways
that a lot of people, I'm sure

301
00:26:18.160 --> 00:26:22.519
they speak English, but they didn't
really speak English. Um. And I

302
00:26:22.519 --> 00:26:26.319
think sometimes as pretty English people,
we go where you travel around the world

303
00:26:26.359 --> 00:26:30.960
and we expect people to speak English, like yeah, and over there,

304
00:26:30.440 --> 00:26:34.319
and when I gather they're very everybody's
very proud of other language, and they

305
00:26:34.680 --> 00:26:41.799
they speak French languish. I didn't
mind that not being necessarily known the language

306
00:26:41.799 --> 00:26:45.039
in that respect. Um, it
was a it was a pickle. But

307
00:26:45.279 --> 00:26:51.200
I found like often when you speak
another language sometimes there's like a level of

308
00:26:51.240 --> 00:26:53.680
like nerves if it doesn't sound fluid. But a lot of them did speak

309
00:26:53.720 --> 00:26:57.000
it, okay. I just had
like picked them up and be like,

310
00:26:57.039 --> 00:27:03.839
no, your your English is like
thousand times better than my French. We

311
00:27:03.000 --> 00:27:07.599
were able to hold combo. Also, what worked really well was that the

312
00:27:07.759 --> 00:27:11.720
songs, even though they were spoke
song in French, a lot of the

313
00:27:11.799 --> 00:27:15.880
songs I was familiar with, so
there was enough room in during worship for

314
00:27:15.960 --> 00:27:22.200
it not to be impacted because I
would sing along in English and that worked

315
00:27:22.200 --> 00:27:26.759
out okay. Actually, so that
was nice. And I shout out to

316
00:27:26.799 --> 00:27:30.079
all the translators, all the people
who sort of spoke English and our behalf

317
00:27:30.079 --> 00:27:33.400
and tried to let us know what
was going on. Yeah, that helped

318
00:27:33.440 --> 00:27:37.599
as well. Yeah, and I
didn't find that actually necessarily a problem because

319
00:27:37.599 --> 00:27:41.640
you initially you might say, okay, that might be quite off putting because

320
00:27:41.680 --> 00:27:47.079
you're trying to you're trying to concentrate
on several things. It's like real multitasking

321
00:27:47.240 --> 00:27:51.079
if the language world is aware.
But actually it was fine. Yeah,

322
00:27:51.119 --> 00:27:53.839
I really enjoyed it. And I
mean I've said it before and i'd say

323
00:27:53.839 --> 00:27:57.319
it again. I'm moving to France. That's that's it. That's it.

324
00:27:57.440 --> 00:28:03.920
I'm gone. So we might be
talking part from party. Yes, yes,

325
00:28:06.160 --> 00:28:11.000
the conversation in any language, that's
it. Um, thank you,

326
00:28:11.079 --> 00:28:15.039
Josephine. I'm gonna come across to
Tara, who was also along your roommate

327
00:28:15.079 --> 00:28:22.240
actually Um and was part of the
trip and Tara as you ministered in the

328
00:28:22.279 --> 00:28:29.079
song or at the event. What
was your take on being part of the

329
00:28:29.160 --> 00:28:33.319
program. What was your take on
the worship service itself? Well, the

330
00:28:33.319 --> 00:28:38.319
worship service itself was really enjoyable.
I was able to, like Josephine said,

331
00:28:38.480 --> 00:28:41.839
um, listen to the songs and
connect with the songs because I knew

332
00:28:41.839 --> 00:28:48.240
them in the English obviously some of
the songs, and they started off in

333
00:28:48.279 --> 00:28:51.839
French and end some in English,
or started in English and French. So

334
00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:53.759
I kind of like that, so
it kind of gave me an idea where

335
00:28:53.759 --> 00:28:57.599
it was going. Um. I
liked that I was able to connect with

336
00:28:57.640 --> 00:29:00.839
one of the worship leaders. I
can't remember her name right now, but

337
00:29:02.160 --> 00:29:07.039
she was really kind and she tried
to speak English to me, and as

338
00:29:07.079 --> 00:29:08.119
I was speaking to her, She's
like, you're speaking too fast, so

339
00:29:08.160 --> 00:29:12.240
I had to actually slope myself down, you know, to her to understand

340
00:29:12.400 --> 00:29:15.960
me. And you know, so
in either way she spoke English and she

341
00:29:17.039 --> 00:29:22.000
spoke very very slowly. But the
way her spirit was and the way you

342
00:29:22.039 --> 00:29:25.720
were connected in that way, I
really liked that because even now she messaged

343
00:29:25.759 --> 00:29:29.079
me and stuff like that to stay
hi, And I just I just liked

344
00:29:29.079 --> 00:29:33.039
the connection that I was able to
have and how kind of people was.

345
00:29:33.119 --> 00:29:36.920
They were so willing to just you
know, talk to us, show us

346
00:29:36.920 --> 00:29:38.960
around, and you know all of
those things. Some people are not that

347
00:29:40.000 --> 00:29:44.519
way, and some people look at
you different when you speak different than them,

348
00:29:44.640 --> 00:29:45.960
or you know, just anything like
that. And I just like the

349
00:29:47.000 --> 00:29:49.920
fact that they were so open to
that. Yeah, they were very welcome,

350
00:29:51.720 --> 00:29:53.799
very well. Yeah, yeah,
yeah, very good. Um,

351
00:29:53.920 --> 00:29:59.519
Patrow, I'm gonna loop you in
here because wait, you gotta ask what

352
00:29:59.559 --> 00:30:04.160
did think about friends? Oh,
I'm coming back to that. But I

353
00:30:04.200 --> 00:30:07.160
wanted to know because Tara and then
you sort of made a little bit of

354
00:30:07.160 --> 00:30:11.079
a sacrifice and coming You've left the
kids behind, and I know you enjoyed

355
00:30:11.119 --> 00:30:17.519
the break kinda. I mean,
when a mother leaves, when the mother

356
00:30:17.599 --> 00:30:18.839
leaves their child, it's always you
know, you leave a little bit of

357
00:30:18.839 --> 00:30:25.200
a heart behind. Um. But
but she did anyway, and we were

358
00:30:25.319 --> 00:30:30.039
happy to have her. We enjoyed
having her, and we didn't miss you

359
00:30:30.079 --> 00:30:33.640
at all, petro Um. But
I wanted to know what what what the

360
00:30:33.680 --> 00:30:38.319
atmosphere was from your end in terms
of being there with the kids taking that

361
00:30:38.440 --> 00:30:44.960
role while Tara was out doing ministry
and did you connect with the program from

362
00:30:45.000 --> 00:30:51.319
from where you were over YouTube?
Uh? Yeah, well I actually,

363
00:30:51.319 --> 00:30:53.960
well I was gonna go and then
I said, you know what, Tara

364
00:30:55.000 --> 00:30:59.079
has been with the kids for so
long because she's there mom, And I

365
00:30:59.119 --> 00:31:02.319
was like, oh, this give
her a chance to actually get away and

366
00:31:02.519 --> 00:31:06.880
just visit a different country, um
by himself, well with a few ladies.

367
00:31:07.559 --> 00:31:10.640
So my thought Postles was like,
you know, it's the old woman

368
00:31:10.720 --> 00:31:14.680
anyway, so I'll be out of
place. So I was like, you

369
00:31:14.759 --> 00:31:17.440
know what, not that i'll be
out of place, but you know what

370
00:31:17.480 --> 00:31:19.640
I mean, Like, you know, I know the room. You know,

371
00:31:19.880 --> 00:31:22.880
I don't want to share a room
past the Patrick. You know,

372
00:31:22.119 --> 00:31:26.039
not that I don't like him,
I just don't want to share room.

373
00:31:26.160 --> 00:31:32.160
So you know, so I was
like, you probably here about this.

374
00:31:32.200 --> 00:31:40.920
Somebody's gonna tell him, but he'll
say the same thing game to you.

375
00:31:40.960 --> 00:31:45.480
He'll say the same thing. But
you know, um, I just thought

376
00:31:45.480 --> 00:31:48.200
it'd be good because I was thinking
about this as talking point. Family.

377
00:31:48.279 --> 00:31:52.119
We're a family, you know,
we all see each other all the time.

378
00:31:52.680 --> 00:31:55.640
You met my wife on zoom,
but you never really met her in

379
00:31:55.680 --> 00:31:57.119
person. So I just felt would
be good for you guys to connect with

380
00:31:57.160 --> 00:32:00.279
the wife and get to know him
and she get to know you because I'm

381
00:32:00.279 --> 00:32:04.960
always talking to you guys, but
always every week we talk, you know

382
00:32:05.119 --> 00:32:07.240
and stuff. So I just wanted
to, I like to include my wife

383
00:32:07.359 --> 00:32:10.480
in my business, if that makes
sense. So I was like a way

384
00:32:10.480 --> 00:32:15.599
for me to include my wife into
the into the family so that she can

385
00:32:15.720 --> 00:32:19.680
you know, better understand you know, us as a as a group,

386
00:32:19.839 --> 00:32:22.200
you know, not just me,
but the whole group. You know,

387
00:32:22.319 --> 00:32:28.160
the dynamic of the group. It
was. But connecting do YouTube, it

388
00:32:28.240 --> 00:32:31.400
was cool. Um, just like
she said, like Thomas said, Um,

389
00:32:31.519 --> 00:32:35.680
I could follow. But I found
myself maybe it was like a lag,

390
00:32:35.720 --> 00:32:37.319
but I found myself like singing,
like singing in my head the song

391
00:32:37.359 --> 00:32:42.880
that they were singing. But I
was noticing that even though they're playing the

392
00:32:43.000 --> 00:32:45.319
beat, because they're singing in French. It was kind of throwing me off.

393
00:32:45.359 --> 00:32:49.039
So like you know, if they
say blood and I say blood,

394
00:32:49.039 --> 00:32:52.039
then you know in Christ, like
I was a little behind or throw me

395
00:32:52.079 --> 00:32:55.160
off because I'm hearing them sing French. But I mean I'm still able to

396
00:32:55.160 --> 00:33:00.640
connect because I'm like you said that
the lady that did them interpretation for pastor

397
00:33:00.680 --> 00:33:05.799
rest. Yeah. She she was
great because like if he if he said

398
00:33:05.839 --> 00:33:07.720
it with if he said it a
certain way, she said it the exact

399
00:33:07.759 --> 00:33:12.480
same way in French. She didn't
like and I'm saying that's all. That's

400
00:33:12.519 --> 00:33:15.200
that's the best part, because you
know, he'll you know, he likes

401
00:33:15.200 --> 00:33:17.480
a shout, so he'd be like
and she would say raw too, so

402
00:33:20.000 --> 00:33:22.640
you know, it kind of put
with what he was saying. You know,

403
00:33:22.720 --> 00:33:25.480
like it just made a difference because
you don't want him to have be

404
00:33:25.519 --> 00:33:30.000
a zuber. And then she's just
like, yeah, flat or flat because

405
00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:34.279
it's away from what he's saying.
And then they had and then I found

406
00:33:34.279 --> 00:33:37.079
it. They had a really good
chemistry because like even though you can understand

407
00:33:37.119 --> 00:33:39.680
French, sometimes she'll say thing He's
like that that's not what I said.

408
00:33:42.160 --> 00:33:45.720
She'd be like, what okay,
that she'd trying to remember because she can't

409
00:33:45.720 --> 00:33:49.279
remember because to say the French.
At that moment, she was trying to

410
00:33:49.279 --> 00:33:51.519
figure out how to say it,
so she should say the different way.

411
00:33:51.559 --> 00:33:53.519
He's like, that's not what I
said it and looking at okay, fine,

412
00:33:53.599 --> 00:33:55.519
So then she'll sit there trying to
figure out how to say it in

413
00:33:55.519 --> 00:33:59.240
French, and then she'll say it
in French. So I thought they had

414
00:33:59.240 --> 00:34:02.480
a really good mystry throughout the whole
program, which made, you know,

415
00:34:02.559 --> 00:34:06.359
made people laugh and it just kind
of, you know, kind of put

416
00:34:06.359 --> 00:34:08.840
a little bit of laughter in the
in the seriousness of what he was trying

417
00:34:08.840 --> 00:34:13.679
to do. What he was doing. Um, And like, like you

418
00:34:13.679 --> 00:34:16.079
said, the singing was good.
I listened to the concert even I couldn't

419
00:34:16.119 --> 00:34:20.719
understand where they were saying. But
I didn't listen to the concert. Um,

420
00:34:20.760 --> 00:34:22.800
but it was it was it was
like you said, it was just

421
00:34:22.960 --> 00:34:25.199
great because you the beat were just
letting you to know, Okay, they're

422
00:34:25.199 --> 00:34:30.039
singing rich a small word or the
singing Jonathan Nelson or that singing you know,

423
00:34:30.119 --> 00:34:35.920
you know what. Yeah. And
then when they played for Tara,

424
00:34:36.360 --> 00:34:39.880
they had just practiced the day before, and I thought they really didn't I

425
00:34:39.920 --> 00:34:43.559
really thought they did a good job. But see, but then it was

426
00:34:43.599 --> 00:34:46.039
a different job. Well you never
practice on side, Okay, Well they

427
00:34:46.440 --> 00:34:50.119
just said that they'll play right.
But see, it was still a little

428
00:34:50.119 --> 00:34:52.760
bit of a difference because when Tara
was singing um, I think she told

429
00:34:52.800 --> 00:34:55.599
him to go up, but he
didn't understand it, so he didn't go

430
00:34:55.719 --> 00:35:00.920
up and he stayed, which is
fine. You know that. I was

431
00:35:00.960 --> 00:35:04.639
like, let's try this again,
and he still because he couldn't understand he

432
00:35:04.719 --> 00:35:07.039
was playing, you know. So
I thought that was funny, but I

433
00:35:07.320 --> 00:35:09.719
you know, it was it was
just great because it was it was like

434
00:35:09.760 --> 00:35:13.559
you said, even though I wasn't
there, I could feel the love.

435
00:35:13.599 --> 00:35:15.960
I could feel like you said,
like Josephix said, I could feel how

436
00:35:16.000 --> 00:35:21.079
everything had its place. Everything was
like boom, you know, everything was

437
00:35:21.119 --> 00:35:24.119
like in a timely manner. And
they all was like they you see that

438
00:35:24.159 --> 00:35:29.760
they was very um spiritual in a
sense of they really wanted to minister.

439
00:35:30.039 --> 00:35:34.159
Yeah. Yeah, you know everybody
was trying to minister. It wasn't about

440
00:35:34.159 --> 00:35:37.599
them. Yeah, praise God.
Yeah that was clear. I mean God

441
00:35:37.599 --> 00:35:43.320
requires excellence and you saw that and
everything that they did and everything they tried

442
00:35:43.320 --> 00:35:47.280
to accomplish. Yeah, and it
was really really effective. Um, so

443
00:35:47.360 --> 00:35:51.320
we thank God for that. So, Tara, you didn't feel like you

444
00:35:52.199 --> 00:35:54.360
left a bit of your heart behind. Petrol seems to think that this was

445
00:35:54.400 --> 00:35:58.960
all easy for you. You know, you all the time. I love

446
00:35:59.239 --> 00:36:01.599
Yeah, I don't like being away
from my children anyway, you know what

447
00:36:01.639 --> 00:36:05.880
I mean. I love getting around
my kids and and me. I always

448
00:36:05.920 --> 00:36:07.480
I have separation anxiety, so I
know they had a little bit of that

449
00:36:07.639 --> 00:36:12.960
themselves. And um, but I
wanted the kids to connect with their father

450
00:36:13.079 --> 00:36:16.280
because I'm always here, I'm always
around his own I do not connect in

451
00:36:16.360 --> 00:36:21.400
a way, you know what I'm
saying, Ladies connecting a way of talking

452
00:36:21.440 --> 00:36:23.159
to him because they come and just
speak to me about anything, you know

453
00:36:23.199 --> 00:36:27.400
what I'm saying. And we just
got that that type of relationship, not

454
00:36:27.440 --> 00:36:30.239
saying they don't have that with him. But it's different with mommy than it

455
00:36:30.280 --> 00:36:31.440
is with daddy, you know what
I mean. You're not going to be

456
00:36:31.440 --> 00:36:36.199
the same with parents, you know
what, You're there most of the time.

457
00:36:37.119 --> 00:36:39.519
Yeah, so I kind of wanted
that. Um but it same like

458
00:36:39.519 --> 00:36:43.960
it went well and um but I
talked to the kids while I was away,

459
00:36:44.079 --> 00:36:45.760
let them know Mommy is okay,
you know, and everything like that.

460
00:36:45.800 --> 00:36:49.159
But I think the next trip I
going, I do want to take

461
00:36:49.280 --> 00:36:57.440
my children with me if possible mcause
trip. Okay, the next trip is

462
00:36:57.480 --> 00:37:04.159
me and Peter, he said.
The kids plenty of trips, Oh my

463
00:37:04.199 --> 00:37:08.199
goodness, social work because you could
be hard head, you know, but

464
00:37:08.239 --> 00:37:10.719
this is why I am different,
because like she said, we're different.

465
00:37:10.840 --> 00:37:15.039
I'm though, I'm more of there, like the straightforward boom with tars,

466
00:37:15.119 --> 00:37:20.440
more like the smoothed over you know
all sweetie, it's okay, and I'm

467
00:37:20.440 --> 00:37:30.360
just like Noah. So Tara,
Um, what was what was Paris like

468
00:37:30.440 --> 00:37:34.679
for you? Was that your first
time? What? It was my first

469
00:37:34.679 --> 00:37:37.920
time? And I enjoyed traveling there
with Josephine. Um. I I had

470
00:37:37.920 --> 00:37:42.559
a bit of anxiety traveling on the
train and stuff like that because I've never

471
00:37:42.559 --> 00:37:45.280
really just done before, you know, coming from America. You had a

472
00:37:45.320 --> 00:37:50.239
car and you traveled in your car, and I never just did the train

473
00:37:50.320 --> 00:37:53.159
thing. So once I once I
you know, got to who I need

474
00:37:53.199 --> 00:37:55.760
to be, and you know,
just learning and paying attention made me focus

475
00:37:55.800 --> 00:38:00.800
more what you did. I think
I needed the experience and once I was

476
00:38:00.840 --> 00:38:02.880
able to, you know, get
there, and it just it was good

477
00:38:02.880 --> 00:38:07.480
to have a travel buddy um with
you that you know, help calm you

478
00:38:07.519 --> 00:38:10.920
down while you was going through the
whole process of getting there to France.

479
00:38:12.239 --> 00:38:15.559
But it was good. Yeah,
Josephine was your room. We we we

480
00:38:15.679 --> 00:38:21.039
kind of shared a joint room.
Yeah. Yeah, um, but it

481
00:38:21.079 --> 00:38:23.840
was really it was really good to
kind of have a girl's trip, which

482
00:38:23.880 --> 00:38:28.719
is what it kind of ended up. I didn't enjoy coming, which you

483
00:38:28.719 --> 00:38:30.760
guys. I really feel like I
know you guys on a different level than

484
00:38:30.760 --> 00:38:35.079
I did before, which I really
love that. I you know, it

485
00:38:35.159 --> 00:38:37.440
was comfortable talking to you guys.
It was no awkwardness, which I love.

486
00:38:37.800 --> 00:38:46.000
And I was just able to be
myself. I was just you know,

487
00:38:46.119 --> 00:38:49.280
and it's good to be able to
be yourself when you're around people.

488
00:38:49.519 --> 00:38:52.920
You don't think, you don't have
to pretend to enjoy yourself. So that

489
00:38:52.039 --> 00:38:55.559
really was good. And so yeah, I enjoyed there and singing there as

490
00:38:55.599 --> 00:39:00.320
well, me singing and standing up
there singing, and the way people was

491
00:39:00.360 --> 00:39:05.519
responding to me singing, I was
like, wow, Like the Holy Spirit

492
00:39:05.639 --> 00:39:08.000
was definitely in the place, you
know, And I was emotional through some

493
00:39:08.079 --> 00:39:13.719
of the service, watching the fifteen
souls you know, give themselves to Jesus

494
00:39:13.719 --> 00:39:15.840
and wanted to get baptized. You
know. That was amazing. You know,

495
00:39:15.960 --> 00:39:21.199
it's just it's just good to see
that people love Jesus and they want

496
00:39:21.280 --> 00:39:24.159
Jesus in their lives. And I
just loved the whole aroma of the place.

497
00:39:24.239 --> 00:39:28.559
It was just really good. And
we just want to highlight that you

498
00:39:28.559 --> 00:39:31.239
you sang in English, but the
whole chat sort of connected with you,

499
00:39:31.400 --> 00:39:37.880
and they knew the song and it
was just it was just and yeah,

500
00:39:37.920 --> 00:39:39.360
and I think because of who you
are and they knew the song. I

501
00:39:39.400 --> 00:39:43.880
wanted to sing something that I haven't
been Prince a lot give me a song

502
00:39:43.960 --> 00:39:45.079
this thing, and he gave me
that song, and I wanted to sing

503
00:39:45.159 --> 00:39:50.599
something that they made know relate to
And when I sing because of who you

504
00:39:50.639 --> 00:39:52.039
are, it just felt so good. You know. I wanted to do

505
00:39:52.199 --> 00:39:59.960
more and I'm hoping the opportunity will
come again, but I'm just yeah,

506
00:40:00.039 --> 00:40:01.559
I'm sure. Well, I mean
I saw them sort of gravitate to you

507
00:40:01.639 --> 00:40:06.599
after you sang, and everyone wanted
to meet you and greet you. And

508
00:40:06.679 --> 00:40:10.320
I'm like, whoa, that's that's
that's that's all right girl. Yeah.

509
00:40:10.360 --> 00:40:13.880
A lot of the people that's in
the music department came up to me in

510
00:40:13.920 --> 00:40:15.679
one of my Instagram and you know, one of the and they doing,

00:40:31.800 --> 00:40:37.599

amazing song and Tara's versions of that was

538
00:45:28.079 --> 00:45:31.599
was great too. You can see
them on YouTube. You need to go

539
00:45:31.719 --> 00:45:39.960
to the Adventist Church Adventist Lawn Adventiste
l O G N E S. They

540
00:45:40.000 --> 00:45:44.960
have a their YouTube channel there and
the services are there. It's get up

541
00:45:45.000 --> 00:45:51.079
and Shine left TWI April, so
definitely do check them out again throughout that

542
00:45:51.119 --> 00:45:52.840
week from what we can see even
that sort of short weekend we were there,

543
00:45:53.039 --> 00:45:58.280
the music was great. They had
a selection of different praise and worship

544
00:45:58.360 --> 00:46:01.880
leaders, different praise teams very different
styles as well, which was really really

545
00:46:01.920 --> 00:46:07.760
good to see a real mixture.
So definitely was blessed from a music perspective,

546
00:46:07.840 --> 00:46:10.920
and definitely kind of got you into
spirit of worship, which I really

547
00:46:12.079 --> 00:46:15.360
which I really enjoyed, and which
is the day that actually was a prayer

548
00:46:15.440 --> 00:46:19.639
day. They just really focused on
prayer. Some day they did the anointing

549
00:46:20.559 --> 00:46:23.840
I remember now I can't even remember, but yeah, I really, Yeah,

550
00:46:23.880 --> 00:46:28.880
it was a real blessing from that
one. So as we've spoke a

551
00:46:28.920 --> 00:46:34.320
little bit about Joseph and Tire's experiences, we're not going to go Zenia and

552
00:46:34.360 --> 00:46:37.960
I kind of took a bit of
time to go around and speak to some

553
00:46:37.079 --> 00:46:39.880
people. It was a little bit
of a challenge because, as we said,

554
00:46:40.239 --> 00:46:45.159
language, sadly, I really wish
I had paid more attention at school

555
00:46:45.280 --> 00:46:49.199
when I was learning French, although
I realized I spoke a lot more but

556
00:46:49.760 --> 00:46:52.559
um and sometimes people over there didn't
necessary think their English was so great,

557
00:46:53.719 --> 00:46:58.519
although as Josephine said earlier, their
Inji was probably better than our French.

558
00:46:58.559 --> 00:47:01.400
Maybe. So we did managed to
speak to some of the young people around.

559
00:47:01.400 --> 00:47:06.880
So we're going to play some of
the interviews that we did various different

560
00:47:06.960 --> 00:47:13.639
lengths vary people that we spoke to. So yeah, the one I'm about

561
00:47:13.679 --> 00:47:20.719
to play is with Naomi, Danielle, Louise and Francois. Francois was very

562
00:47:20.719 --> 00:47:23.440
instrumental in getting us from point A
to point B. And I'm saying good

563
00:47:23.559 --> 00:47:28.880
afternoon, good evening to you.
I'm sure he is listening, and yeah,

564
00:47:28.920 --> 00:47:32.119
he was just helping me more so
to interpret, but I sort of

565
00:47:32.119 --> 00:47:37.239
looked him into the conversation. It's
seventeen minutes long, but and it's an

566
00:47:37.360 --> 00:47:43.159
unedited version of M so we'll see
how we go. But this is the

567
00:47:43.239 --> 00:47:52.880
interview that we've had Radio London that
we're broadcasting from France and speaking to some

568
00:47:52.920 --> 00:47:58.000
of the young people who have been
involved in the program or the series or

569
00:47:58.639 --> 00:48:02.800
evangelistic meeting Get A Much Shine.
I've got four wonderful young people with me

570
00:48:02.960 --> 00:48:07.920
and we're going to talk about how
it's been and how it's culminated in about

571
00:48:08.079 --> 00:48:15.880
sixteen souls been baptized this afternoon.

683
01:02:52.320 --> 01:03:02.400
I like um for you guys.
Well it was the preach about about Samson

684
01:03:04.440 --> 01:03:12.280
Sam. I mean like the speech
um um. I really enjoyed two um.

685
01:03:12.639 --> 01:03:28.119
Then the device the you he gives
he gives us uh young people.

686
01:03:29.480 --> 01:03:37.159
Um. I enjoyed the vibe like
his energy like very very you can feel

687
01:03:37.719 --> 01:03:43.960
his um his love for for young
people like like you you say. And

688
01:03:45.119 --> 01:03:53.159
also also I like um the fact
he talked about his life, about his

689
01:03:53.239 --> 01:04:00.280
life. Yeah, his testimony.
You you can see um as he had

690
01:04:00.519 --> 01:04:06.559
some trouble, but God has been
there for for you. I think that

691
01:04:08.280 --> 01:04:12.280
that helped him to connect to the
young people, connecting people for me.

692
01:04:12.440 --> 01:04:15.599
I don't want anybody to preach at
me. I want people to talk to

693
01:04:15.639 --> 01:04:21.800
me about where they've been through the
journey here. Yes, lovely, well,

694
01:04:26.760 --> 01:04:31.480
I know you get to tired,
I'm sure very much. I remember,

695
01:04:31.599 --> 01:04:34.079
and even when he's told you already, but I'm not going to happen

696
01:04:34.159 --> 01:04:42.840
to Spadio London, especially if you
want to get your English better. And

697
01:04:43.480 --> 01:04:48.280
I'll let you know via email when
we're going to be hearing these So right,

698
01:04:49.719 --> 01:04:53.800
that was it. Again, thank
you to the young people who took

699
01:04:53.800 --> 01:04:57.440
the time out to speak to me. I mean midway to the interview,

700
01:04:57.480 --> 01:05:00.039
she sort of your own and I
know they were tired. I mean it

701
01:05:00.079 --> 01:05:03.039
been along, it went a long
couple of days, I'm sure, especially

702
01:05:03.119 --> 01:05:06.840
being part of the organizing team.
And I was really grateful. It was

703
01:05:06.880 --> 01:05:11.800
a good it was a good chat, a good time and will definitely stay

704
01:05:11.840 --> 01:05:15.079
connected to them. And she was
mentioning about the children. Was really interesting

705
01:05:15.119 --> 01:05:19.760
because I actually at one point I
had a conversation with three children who were

706
01:05:19.760 --> 01:05:24.159
helping clearing up. I kind of
sort of said hello and like a little

707
01:05:24.159 --> 01:05:26.800
bit of French, I said,
what's yours, Saba, And then of

708
01:05:26.840 --> 01:05:29.760
course they thought, oh, she
can speak French and started labling up,

709
01:05:29.840 --> 01:05:31.320
and I was like, ah,
hold on a second. However, with

710
01:05:31.440 --> 01:05:34.360
the help of Google Translate, I
was able to kind of have a bit

711
01:05:34.360 --> 01:05:36.920
of a conversation with them. I
can't remember their names actually, but they

712
01:05:36.920 --> 01:05:41.280
were like eleven, ten, eleven
and twelve. But I kind of said,

713
01:05:41.280 --> 01:05:43.800
you know, arts, had they've
been coming to the meetings and said

714
01:05:43.920 --> 01:05:45.559
yes, And I asked them what
they took from the week and what they'd

715
01:05:45.639 --> 01:05:49.119
learned, and bless them, they
were typing it into my phone in Google

716
01:05:49.119 --> 01:05:51.719
Translate, and they basically said,
you know, they learned that you have

717
01:05:51.800 --> 01:05:56.280
to believe in God, who is
a strong God. They learned that God

718
01:05:56.280 --> 01:05:59.960
can always do miracles and it's support
to believe in him with a good time

719
01:06:00.000 --> 01:06:03.360
times as well as the bad times. You know. So again, as

720
01:06:03.440 --> 01:06:08.280
much as I don't speak their language, let's speak my language, we were

721
01:06:08.320 --> 01:06:12.480
still able to kind of converse,
have a conversation, and you know,

722
01:06:12.519 --> 01:06:15.599
I was able to get something from
them as well, which was really lovely.

723
01:06:15.119 --> 01:06:18.280
Um, so I'm want to go
now on to a couple of people

724
01:06:18.280 --> 01:06:23.280
that I spoke to as well.
Um, again, we were kind of

725
01:06:23.320 --> 01:06:27.400
trying to poor people. This was
a young lady called I don't even know

726
01:06:27.440 --> 01:06:29.400
how I ends up speaking to her, I think, I just I don't

727
01:06:29.400 --> 01:06:31.280
know how I did. Anyway,
we'll hear. Her name was Selena.

728
01:06:31.760 --> 01:06:41.639
Um, so let's hear what she
had to say about the program. I'm

729
01:06:41.679 --> 01:06:45.880

much little things that made me like cry.

733
01:07:08.239 --> 01:07:11.320

734
01:07:12.039 --> 01:07:15.159

I'm in philosophy. I'm learning philosophy. So I'm meeking. I'm making

745
01:08:15.679 --> 01:08:18.279
pH in philosophy PhD. And what
do you hope to do after that?

746
01:08:18.720 --> 01:08:24.520
After that? I would be a
teacher. And then now I mean I

747
01:08:24.600 --> 01:08:29.159
can be on analyst of the publicity. And so okay, you stay in

748
01:08:29.239 --> 01:08:31.760
France. So would you like to
travel? M I don't know exactly.

749
01:08:31.920 --> 01:08:35.279
Maybe I will leave, maybe I
will say. Okay, all right,

750
01:08:35.359 --> 01:08:41.199
So how did you hear about this
program? Get up and shine? Okay?

751
01:08:41.279 --> 01:08:47.840
This program is in my church,
so the young people as ask the

752
01:08:48.000 --> 01:08:54.840
church to do it in that way. This is in that way. I

753
01:08:54.880 --> 01:08:59.000
know the program. Okay? And
did you come every night? Yeah?

754
01:08:59.039 --> 01:09:01.800
I come every night and I'm so
happy to come in nice. And I

755
01:09:02.159 --> 01:09:04.600
was telling me about the program.
What did you how did you find it?

756
01:09:05.359 --> 01:09:15.680
I will I can explain the program
because it's it's too heavy to understand

757
01:09:16.800 --> 01:09:23.399
if you want to say ivy because
it's something it's something that I can explain.

758
01:09:23.479 --> 01:09:26.479
I don't have word to explain that. But it was a good experience,

759
01:09:26.479 --> 01:09:32.079
a good experience, positive experience,
positive experience, experience specifically specifically for

760
01:09:32.199 --> 01:09:36.319
young people. Yeah, what was
it different from what you've been to before?

761
01:09:38.560 --> 01:09:45.359
Was it different or the same or
um the difference the pastor with very

762
01:09:45.720 --> 01:09:53.560
very spirit by Jesus. Okay.
So what will you take away from this

763
01:09:53.640 --> 01:10:01.840
week? From I know I will
have one in your life and new life?

764
01:10:01.920 --> 01:10:06.840
Okay. So the theme was lever
twie real gets up and shine.

765
01:10:08.359 --> 01:10:12.079
As you can see, my friend
is not good. How will you get

766
01:10:12.159 --> 01:10:18.039
up and shine? So get up
in shine means wake up, Yeah,

767
01:10:18.239 --> 01:10:25.039
wake up and follow Jesus okay,
wake up and pray okay, wake up

768
01:10:25.079 --> 01:10:29.880
and advise people okay, okay.
So what advice would you give to anybody

769
01:10:29.960 --> 01:10:33.560
listening? What advice would you give
to our listeners for people who are listening

770
01:10:33.560 --> 01:10:43.239
to Confluence? I hope that I
hope they will put the advice in your

771
01:10:43.279 --> 01:10:46.680
life okay, okay. In order
to preach people okay, and to reach

772
01:10:46.720 --> 01:10:51.520
other people okay. To change the
world, we need to change the world.

773
01:10:51.840 --> 01:10:59.840
Okay. So what is what is
church like here in France? In

774
01:11:00.079 --> 01:11:05.239
for some what can I say?
They are good? But we need to

775
01:11:05.920 --> 01:11:13.680
we need to do more program.
You need to be more What can I

776
01:11:13.720 --> 01:11:17.720
say? The more bright, more
shine okay, okay, okay, and

777
01:11:17.880 --> 01:11:24.680
be out there in your communities and
meeting more people. Yeah, meet more

778
01:11:24.680 --> 01:11:33.560
people. Yes, Um, back
to the use before pass away. Um,

779
01:11:33.920 --> 01:11:38.439
there was a little bit slow.
Okay, I'll take after that.

780
01:11:38.479 --> 01:11:44.239
They will more, they will,
They haven't. I don't know what to

781
01:11:44.279 --> 01:11:49.760
say that they are while to in
the bold, in the length to to

782
01:11:49.920 --> 01:11:55.640
explain people, so there'll be more
eager to go out to shine more,

783
01:11:56.159 --> 01:12:00.520
to be more on fire maybe yeah. Okay, So it's been a good

784
01:12:00.520 --> 01:12:05.359
week for you. It's a very
very good week for me, all right.

785
01:12:05.439 --> 01:12:13.439
I passed all the week by praying
a pre pre p and then so

786
01:12:13.520 --> 01:12:17.760
I see, I see what prey
can do, can do. And obviously

787
01:12:17.800 --> 01:12:25.279
you witnessed thirteen people get baptized today, which is fantastic. Um. So

788
01:12:25.399 --> 01:12:31.479
and how did that make you feel? Um? I feel better. I

789
01:12:31.720 --> 01:12:40.880

my life. Okay. So I advise

01:12:41.039 --> 01:12:47.800
any people too to chi the life
with God cool. And you spent a

791
01:12:47.960 --> 01:12:56.119
day with the Reggio London crew.
So you took us sight seeing, it's

792
01:12:56.199 --> 01:12:59.079
what it was a pleasure for me. Yes, it was good. But

793
01:12:59.760 --> 01:13:04.760
this program to participate with the people
will come from London. Yeah. It

794
01:13:04.800 --> 01:13:09.279
took us around. We went on
lots of trains okay, and we went

795
01:13:09.359 --> 01:13:16.000
to see some of the sites.
Yeah. The Eiffel Tower easy, lazy,

796
01:13:16.680 --> 01:13:29.560
the museum, the the Parliament okay, yes, not too down church

797
01:13:29.680 --> 01:13:32.119
from Back to the Years yes,
which was sadly destroyed by a fire.

798
01:13:33.159 --> 01:13:40.000
Yeah, and the Louver yes.
So thank you for taking us around that

799
01:13:40.119 --> 01:13:45.760
day. That was really very humpy. I've got this program cool. Well,

800
01:13:45.800 --> 01:13:48.119
thank you so much for your time. It's been wonderful talking to you,

801
01:13:48.159 --> 01:13:51.800
and thank you for taking a time
out to support the program and for

802
01:13:53.079 --> 01:13:55.840
taking your time out to support us
as well. Thank you very much.

803
01:13:57.479 --> 01:14:02.199
Thank you. As we were saying, it's that we were. The hospitality

804
01:14:02.359 --> 01:14:04.600
was wonderful. It was so lovely
to kind of, you know, have

805
01:14:04.680 --> 01:14:08.319
people who you know, obviously if
we don't speak the language, but they

806
01:14:08.319 --> 01:14:11.239
were there to kind of step in
for us. And Rickins was lovely to

807
01:14:11.239 --> 01:14:15.560
take us out like we did.
We did a very scenic tour as it

808
01:14:15.640 --> 01:14:17.520
were lots of trains. We got
to kind of, you know, see

809
01:14:17.560 --> 01:14:19.600
things in a different way, and
it was a bit of a whistle stop

810
01:14:19.680 --> 01:14:23.520
tour. But he took out a
day which was really lovely and couldn't have

811
01:14:23.560 --> 01:14:26.760
been more helpful. So shout out
to you, rickins Um, and next

812
01:14:26.760 --> 01:14:29.279
time we're over there, would definitely
have to kind of link up again.

813
01:14:30.000 --> 01:14:32.439
Um, just gonna play a really
little clip as well. As I was

814
01:14:32.479 --> 01:14:36.720
saying throughout the week, there was
loads of great music. I don't know

815
01:14:36.720 --> 01:14:40.800
why. I was kind of filming
and recording some bits as well, So

816
01:14:40.800 --> 01:14:43.439
I'm going to play a little clip
from one of the groups. I don't

817
01:14:43.439 --> 01:14:46.840
remember their names actually, Um,
but I think this is this is the

818
01:14:46.880 --> 01:14:50.319
air that I breathe. As we
were saying before, sometimes you would hear

819
01:14:50.359 --> 01:14:55.159
the tune and for me, I've
really struggled to then think I know that

820
01:14:55.239 --> 01:14:59.680
song. What are the worlds of
English? Like, suddenly I guess I

821
01:14:59.720 --> 01:15:02.199
was in France, so I became
a French person because that's all I was

822
01:15:02.199 --> 01:15:05.199
thinking about English, but I didn't
know the English words. So We're going

823
01:15:05.239 --> 01:15:11.439
to play a little bit of this
just to sort of here just some of

824
01:15:11.479 --> 01:16:20.159
the yes. Some of the musicians
will bring us back on that almost sits

825
01:16:20.239 --> 01:19:00.079
in sea, sit see an please
award shoe, shoe to toss yes to

826
01:19:00.159 --> 01:19:01.039
the air that I breathe. Then
at the end it's saying no, that

827
01:19:01.079 --> 01:19:04.199
I'm desperate for you, I really
want you, which brings us really lovely

828
01:19:04.279 --> 01:19:09.680
into when we think about UM,
this campaign and the combination of it.

829
01:19:10.039 --> 01:19:13.800
We got to witness, Okay,
we were quibbling about the number. I

830
01:19:13.880 --> 01:19:23.920
think it was fifteen or maybe sixteen. Fifteen or sixteen UM got baptized on

831
01:19:24.000 --> 01:19:28.079
that day. It was really amazing
to see that UM and seven of more

832
01:19:28.079 --> 01:19:30.000
people came up for kind of the
appeals as well, after us as well,

833
01:19:30.840 --> 01:19:36.119
but to sort of seem those young
people dedicate, give their lives and

834
01:19:36.239 --> 01:19:41.880
make that commitment to God after a
week like this and it was, you

835
01:19:41.920 --> 01:19:45.840
know, powerful week. We've heard
so many sort of stories about that from

836
01:19:45.920 --> 01:19:49.079
various people, but yeah, that's
it was just amazing. So we're gonna

837
01:19:49.079 --> 01:19:53.600
hear from one of the young ladies
who got baptized. I got fifteen to

838
01:19:53.640 --> 01:20:02.159
speak to her UM. So this
was Louisa. This is from Bill Smith,

839
01:20:02.600 --> 01:20:08.479
and she was baptized today. Congratulations. So just tell me a little

840
01:20:08.520 --> 01:20:14.159
bit about yourself. So my name
is Louisa. I have twenties old and

841
01:20:14.399 --> 01:20:21.720
I choose to bath day get baize
just bad days um Wednesday, Wednesday.

842
01:20:21.800 --> 01:20:26.800
So have you been Were you coming
all week to the meetings? No?

843
01:20:27.199 --> 01:20:35.000
I heard about the meeting on social
media and I love the Bridge of of

844
01:20:35.680 --> 01:20:41.039
Busta. Yeah. Absolutely, okay, So had you so, Louisa,

845
01:20:41.079 --> 01:20:45.479
have you been coming all week to
the guests up and Shine program? No?

846
01:20:45.239 --> 01:20:51.359
I heard about the program on Tuesday
and then I choose to come on

847
01:20:51.880 --> 01:20:57.880
Wednesday, and then I love the
bridge and that's really spurned me. So

848
01:20:58.039 --> 01:21:02.760
I choose the bout get baptized.
Okay. Is that something you'd considered before

849
01:21:03.039 --> 01:21:05.640
as you thought about it before?
Yeah, a lot of time, but

850
01:21:06.119 --> 01:21:11.800
I don't hear the call, and
this time I heard it. So that's

851
01:21:11.840 --> 01:21:17.199
why I get up and I decided
to shine. And what made the difference

852
01:21:17.279 --> 01:21:21.000
for you this week? So you
said that you'd like to hear Pastor Way

853
01:21:21.079 --> 01:21:30.880
preaching. What was different about it's
time? It's like he can understand young

854
01:21:30.000 --> 01:21:41.479
people because some of ACA or people
not really understand us. Sometime the judges

855
01:21:41.880 --> 01:21:48.079
and in his fridge. He said
that we don't have to be perfect to

856
01:21:48.439 --> 01:21:53.760
get baptized, and that's why I
choose it, because I need to be

857
01:21:53.840 --> 01:22:02.520
with Jesus and then follow him and
um, try to be perfect. Okay,

858
01:22:03.239 --> 01:22:06.000
and how do you got back ties
today? How do you feel today?

859
01:22:06.560 --> 01:22:13.600
I feel really great, fantastic,
I feel white, I feel shiny.

860
01:22:14.920 --> 01:22:23.159
So the thing this week was get
up and shine. Um leve April

861
01:22:23.960 --> 01:22:28.720
left left Abriel. See my friend
is not that good? Um, So

862
01:22:28.920 --> 01:22:31.279
for you, how will you get
up and shine? Now? Going forward?

863
01:22:32.399 --> 01:22:38.800
Get up and shine. I really
want to talk about the church to

864
01:22:39.039 --> 01:22:47.319
people. I really want to be
more confident with Jesus, learn more about

865
01:22:47.439 --> 01:22:53.800
about the Bible, and then preach
for some people. Okay. So if

866
01:22:53.800 --> 01:22:57.840
you hadn't eat any advice to give
to other young people, what would you

867
01:22:57.920 --> 01:23:02.880
tell them? It's not today to
get up for Jesus. He loves you

868
01:23:03.760 --> 01:23:11.960
and always even then you go down, you can just wait to you and

869
01:23:12.840 --> 01:23:17.000
don't turn your back to Jesus.
He's amazing toast. Thanks well, thank

870
01:23:17.039 --> 01:23:21.199
you, Louisa. Congratulations again and
all the best of your walk with the

871
01:23:21.279 --> 01:23:25.880
Lord. He's got you just stay
close to him. So thank you,

872
01:23:26.039 --> 01:23:31.439
very much. Thank you, You're
welcome. She was so lovely and you

873
01:23:31.479 --> 01:23:34.239
know, somebody who was just so
excited. I love when she sort of

874
01:23:34.319 --> 01:23:39.000
said, you know, she felt
white, shiny and new. It's just

875
01:23:39.520 --> 01:23:42.520
amazing. And you know, that
was just kind of you know, one

876
01:23:42.600 --> 01:23:45.600
person, and I know, seeing
the faces and the faces of families and

877
01:23:45.720 --> 01:23:49.520
friends around them just so excited.
Um, so it was. It was

878
01:23:49.680 --> 01:23:54.079
really lovely, really, so it
was really love to see that and to

879
01:23:54.159 --> 01:23:57.000
witness that. I was even having
a lot of in preparation for today going

880
01:23:57.039 --> 01:24:00.279
back some of the YouTube videos and
was kind of watching a few bits sin

881
01:24:00.720 --> 01:24:05.479
thinking wow, yeah, I remember
I was sitting next to Pastor Cary and

882
01:24:05.520 --> 01:24:09.640
at one point we had to break
out the partissue. Yes, you know,

883
01:24:10.239 --> 01:24:16.279
it was just so emotional to witness
to see the emotion on everyone's faces

884
01:24:16.319 --> 01:24:20.079
as well. Moms were crying over
their daughters, sisters were crying over their

885
01:24:20.159 --> 01:24:26.039
siblings. It was just full of
energy and the spirit was moving to the

886
01:24:26.119 --> 01:24:30.039
point, as you said, there
was an alter call after the baptism,

887
01:24:30.239 --> 01:24:33.840
and so many souls wanted to be
some of the young kids. I think

888
01:24:33.880 --> 01:24:38.760
we caught up in the moment as
well, and they were all standing around

889
01:24:38.760 --> 01:24:42.720
the pool and the makeshift pool that
was just a blow up pool in the

890
01:24:42.800 --> 01:24:45.600
middle of that. I mean,
it was just it was just perfect.

891
01:24:45.720 --> 01:24:50.760
It ended perfectly, and I know, you know, Heaven celebrated over one

892
01:24:50.920 --> 01:24:57.680
moreover how many they were, But
it was just such a powerful experience.

893
01:24:57.720 --> 01:25:00.800
And I'm wondering if I Josephee or
Tyro would want to sort of chime in

894
01:25:00.880 --> 01:25:05.119
on that and what they sort of
felt on that. On that evening during

895
01:25:05.159 --> 01:25:11.840
the occasion, as we watched several
souls dip and come up with you,

896
01:25:14.199 --> 01:25:19.760
I really enjoyed watching the people getting
baptized and giving ourselves over to Jesus.

897
01:25:19.960 --> 01:25:25.039
And I think I shared a to
tear when the young boy got into the

898
01:25:25.079 --> 01:25:30.920
water, because most times you don't
see young people giving themselves to Jesus Christ.

899
01:25:30.199 --> 01:25:34.880
And I think that's so important for
us to teach our children about Jesus.

900
01:25:35.680 --> 01:25:41.279
God give us responsibility as parents to
um, you know, teach our

901
01:25:41.359 --> 01:25:45.359
children about Him. And you know
how many children can be lost if they

902
01:25:45.479 --> 01:25:49.119
not taught about him. And it
was just so good to see not just

903
01:25:49.279 --> 01:25:53.760
young but old as well. Yes, And I like Pastor Rate said it

904
01:25:53.880 --> 01:25:56.319
time and time again, you know, it's it's coming as you are.

905
01:25:56.800 --> 01:26:00.600
I mean, the sort of Bible
studies will come, the change will come,

906
01:26:00.920 --> 01:26:04.359
all of that will happen over time. But it is making that decision

907
01:26:04.439 --> 01:26:08.520
there and then because we don't know
what tomorrow holes. Yeah, and it's

908
01:26:08.640 --> 01:26:13.520
making that decision there and then as
young as they are to give their lives

909
01:26:13.560 --> 01:26:15.239
to down and we have to honor
that if the pandemic was to teach us

910
01:26:15.239 --> 01:26:18.720
anything that you could just you know, tomorrow is not promised exactly and do

911
01:26:18.760 --> 01:26:21.800
you never know what's around the corner, because that was something we would never

912
01:26:21.880 --> 01:26:27.840
have foreseen as it were. So
yeah, yeah, powerful Josephine, do

913
01:26:27.840 --> 01:26:30.840
you have anything to add to that? What was it for you? Like

914
01:26:31.039 --> 01:26:42.720
for you? I think she's muted
Josephine there and she was on the road

915
01:26:43.039 --> 01:26:47.720
driving, um, so maybe she's
saw a blast connection. Sorry, yes,

916
01:26:47.840 --> 01:26:51.880
I can loud and clear. One. Two. I was saying that,

917
01:26:53.960 --> 01:26:57.960
I was saying, jumping on your
point that I did that they truly

918
01:26:58.039 --> 01:27:01.239
came as they were. Yes,
we saw people from different backgrounds, different

919
01:27:01.399 --> 01:27:08.920
genders, um, different ages,
different races, different styles, fashion styles,

920
01:27:09.000 --> 01:27:12.640
whatever it was they ever gave their
life over to him or pledged to

921
01:27:12.720 --> 01:27:15.680
give their life over to him,
and I thought it was really beautiful to

922
01:27:15.720 --> 01:27:18.920
see. But because sometimes we really
do get caught up in we have to

923
01:27:19.000 --> 01:27:23.279
have done this six week, six
months of studying, or we have to

924
01:27:23.399 --> 01:27:26.680
be a certain age. But I
wish I could remember the age of the

925
01:27:26.760 --> 01:27:30.560
youngest person that decided to give their
life price. But it was like a

926
01:27:30.840 --> 01:27:36.439
primary school kid. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. And it just

927
01:27:36.560 --> 01:27:43.760
reflects you know, um, you
know, sometimes we hear that as a

928
01:27:43.840 --> 01:27:46.239
teacher, I hear that their parents
are a bit nervous to let their children

929
01:27:46.319 --> 01:27:50.800
get back tied, um, because
they think they're too young. But young

930
01:27:50.880 --> 01:27:55.159
people know what they're doing, they
know what they're talking about. They just

931
01:27:55.399 --> 01:27:59.399
soak up information so quickly, and
so if they want to soak up the

932
01:27:59.439 --> 01:28:04.880
word of God, you just there's
nothing, Um what is there to lose

933
01:28:05.119 --> 01:28:11.359
from getting baptized? Right, it's
nothing else before they came to chat Man

934
01:28:15.479 --> 01:28:20.800
and from that yeah yeah yeah.
And I am now thinking this is an

935
01:28:20.880 --> 01:28:24.760
idea for another show. I mean, we really have to delve into this

936
01:28:24.880 --> 01:28:28.560
because it's such a debatable topic.
Um, and you know, not every

937
01:28:28.640 --> 01:28:32.319
preacher feels that way, and you
know, not every church feel that feels

938
01:28:32.359 --> 01:28:35.239
that way. But um, I
think we're all here in agreement that it

939
01:28:35.399 --> 01:28:39.119
is when the spirit moves, you
know, we just have to follow,

940
01:28:40.359 --> 01:28:44.439
you have to capture that moment.
So yeah, absolutely, absolutely, I

941
01:28:44.479 --> 01:28:47.199
think that'd be a good thing.
Because our children were baptized young and yeah

942
01:28:48.119 --> 01:28:54.520
he had just recently as well,
isn't it, And then had the young

943
01:28:54.600 --> 01:28:57.880
man that was baptized, he was
young in the church. And I just

944
01:28:58.000 --> 01:29:00.840
think that you know that that or
they need to be a certain ages is

945
01:29:00.920 --> 01:29:06.640
just something that is a tradition that
we need to not really use or break

946
01:29:06.760 --> 01:29:11.000
as saying yeah, yeah, and
it's it's a journey for all of us,

947
01:29:11.079 --> 01:29:14.920
whether we're nine then or you know, forty nine fifty nine, you

948
01:29:14.960 --> 01:29:17.399
know, it's a journey for us
all. So um, we just give

949
01:29:17.479 --> 01:29:20.960
God thanks and for the work that
was done there. And I really truly

950
01:29:21.039 --> 01:29:25.960
hope that the momentum is you know, kept, because that for me is

951
01:29:26.119 --> 01:29:29.359
very important sometimes that the evangelist comes
in and lights the fire, as I

952
01:29:29.439 --> 01:29:32.079
said, and then it weigh in
spot we really want to play the church,

953
01:29:32.880 --> 01:29:35.319
but in fact for what we could
see the leaders. Actually, you

954
01:29:35.399 --> 01:29:39.800
know, we're very because I remember
that the two passes at the end as

955
01:29:39.800 --> 01:29:43.279
a youth pass if I remember rightly, you know, again from what I

956
01:29:43.319 --> 01:29:45.640
can for what I gather from I'm
from the translation was you know that they

957
01:29:45.720 --> 01:29:50.079
are welcoming with open arms. You
know that they're to support them, you

958
01:29:50.159 --> 01:29:53.800
know, and the work will continue. So like you said, let's hope

959
01:29:53.840 --> 01:29:57.800
that definitely does. Um, you've
got one last clip. Yes, yeah,

960
01:29:58.079 --> 01:30:00.880
So this is from a guy called
Ben. He was one of the

961
01:30:00.960 --> 01:30:02.600
young people. Now, this program
was put together by the young people.

962
01:30:03.199 --> 01:30:06.560
Um, and I remember rightly.
I think this is probably one of the

963
01:30:06.600 --> 01:30:11.399
first things they've done. So let's
hear this was. I caught him at

964
01:30:11.479 --> 01:30:15.159
the end after after the concert,
and I'm sure he was promising me he's

965
01:30:15.159 --> 01:30:16.319
gonna speak to me. I was
like, okay, when you're ready,

966
01:30:16.319 --> 01:30:20.000
I know who's busy tied you up
and finishing. So let's hear what his

967
01:30:20.159 --> 01:30:25.720
thoughts were at the end of it, Ben. And Ben is one of

968
01:30:25.800 --> 01:30:29.560
the team that's put our program together. So Ben, tell me a little

969
01:30:29.600 --> 01:30:34.199
bit about yourself. Hello, I
am Ben in now and the leader of

970
01:30:34.319 --> 01:30:41.560
Frightender on the s D Laren.
Okay, so, but I also understand

971
01:30:41.600 --> 01:30:45.239
you're part of the team that put
this program I was gonna say in French,

972
01:30:45.359 --> 01:30:48.840
leave, Oh no, let's not. My French is terrible. Get

973
01:30:48.920 --> 01:30:55.520
up and shine. That's right,
let's why are yeah? So you were

974
01:30:55.600 --> 01:30:59.319
part of the team. Yes,
Um, what tell me a little bit

975
01:30:59.399 --> 01:31:03.600
about the thing? Why get up
and shine? We we choose get up

976
01:31:03.640 --> 01:31:11.640
and shy because you think, UM, it's important for young people to put

977
01:31:11.760 --> 01:31:20.239
Jesus in UH in their life because
we live in the moment um where we

978
01:31:20.479 --> 01:31:29.039
found we see many many young people
UM don't love to go in the church

979
01:31:29.439 --> 01:31:35.119
and leave the church. And for
us it's really important to UH young we

980
01:31:35.399 --> 01:31:42.199
is in the in the in the
church, UM to have this encouragement to

981
01:31:42.560 --> 01:31:46.800
UH to put Jesus in your life. And for that we we choose a

982
01:31:47.319 --> 01:31:51.000
get up and shy. Okay,
So how has the week been for you?

983
01:31:54.319 --> 01:32:00.560
I think it's the best week and
I live in my life really because

984
01:32:02.680 --> 01:32:09.760
we it's the first time we organize
this program in the in the church,

985
01:32:10.359 --> 01:32:18.199
and for us it was really important
to have in an impact in the in

986
01:32:18.319 --> 01:32:30.520
the Federation feder first and all the
young people in um our friends because many

987
01:32:30.880 --> 01:32:43.039
friends come here many benediction benediction in
UH. He loved this and it's a

988
01:32:43.920 --> 01:32:55.680
great way to to show um that
Jesus can be U be great and we

989
01:32:55.800 --> 01:33:02.199
can have a great woman in the
in the Church of Oh Jesus Christ.

990
01:33:02.520 --> 01:33:06.239
Yeah, that's good. Um,
so I can see I only came from

991
01:33:06.439 --> 01:33:10.880
Thursday. It wasn't as a Friday, but from what I understand from Pastor

992
01:33:10.960 --> 01:33:15.239
Rey, it was packed out every
night, so you had a lot of

993
01:33:15.319 --> 01:33:18.319
people coming, had a lot of
people watching online. What has been the

994
01:33:18.399 --> 01:33:23.199
feedback? What have people said to
you about the program? Every day?

995
01:33:23.279 --> 01:33:34.199
We have many people who say congratulation
because I think every message Pastory delivered every

996
01:33:34.279 --> 01:33:42.159
night it was wonderful and people really
liked that. And every song, every

997
01:33:42.239 --> 01:33:50.119
moment it was, it was has
been has been really perfect and people really

998
01:33:50.199 --> 01:33:56.319
like that. And for us in
the Friday first not it's a it's a

999
01:33:56.840 --> 01:34:03.640
really big thing because many people come
here after works and we we don't realize

1000
01:34:03.760 --> 01:34:10.680
this in other church in the in
the Federation. Okay, for us,

1001
01:34:10.720 --> 01:34:16.800
it's great. So what's going to
be next? After this? The next

1002
01:34:19.560 --> 01:34:28.600
it's time to sleep right and after
Seriously, we try to organize many activities

1003
01:34:28.800 --> 01:34:33.840
for young people in the church because
I think it's important to the young people

1004
01:34:33.960 --> 01:34:45.000
to have a great relationship with other
young people and also the member of the

1005
01:34:45.119 --> 01:34:51.239
church, and and our relationship with
Jesus Christ. And I think when we

1006
01:34:51.479 --> 01:35:01.239
do many activities we show the love
of God in all in our life.

1007
01:35:02.079 --> 01:35:08.520
Yes, it's it's really really important
for us to improve us. Okay,

1008
01:35:08.960 --> 01:35:12.760
So what would you so tell me
a little bit about church in France.

1009
01:35:12.880 --> 01:35:16.479
This is my first time worshiping in
a French church. What is it like

1010
01:35:16.640 --> 01:35:25.279
generally? So I can see you
the the worship is not the same time,

1011
01:35:25.600 --> 01:35:30.960
okay, in it's very different.
Okay, So here it's really an

1012
01:35:30.119 --> 01:35:40.199
exceptance because we we live a time
who people need to to have this worship,

1013
01:35:40.479 --> 01:35:45.560
okay. And for us it's really
important to have this great energy and

1014
01:35:46.399 --> 01:35:54.560
in the many church in in in
France, we don't found this energy the

1015
01:35:54.680 --> 01:36:02.000
people is just and for us it's
it's a great thing to to to do

1016
01:36:02.159 --> 01:36:12.880
that and to to show um other
advances. Um, it's we can we

1017
01:36:12.960 --> 01:36:17.800
can put God with with with a
great worship. Yes, so you've got

1018
01:36:17.880 --> 01:36:23.239
to try and bring that more more
into your church. Finally, then how

1019
01:36:23.279 --> 01:36:29.680
would you say to encourage young people
today? Okay? And the young people

1020
01:36:30.560 --> 01:36:33.600
who are in the church or any
I mean in the church, in the

1021
01:36:33.680 --> 01:36:38.319
church and outside of church as well. Actually, I think for the people

1022
01:36:38.520 --> 01:36:45.520
who is in the church, it's
really important to to be an influencer,

1023
01:36:47.159 --> 01:36:56.039
influencer for for Chot, we need
to show UM the love of God in

1024
01:36:57.000 --> 01:37:01.399
our life. And it's really important
because UH, with that, we're gonna

1025
01:37:02.600 --> 01:37:14.960
show our friends UM that Jesus can
be can be a light in our life.

1026
01:37:15.520 --> 01:37:18.039
And for other people who don't know
Jesus. I think, UM,

1027
01:37:18.439 --> 01:37:26.840
it's really important to UH to to
search the truth because we live in the

1028
01:37:27.319 --> 01:37:36.159
in UM. I can explain that
day yes times, yes, Yes,

1029
01:37:36.399 --> 01:37:45.359
it's really important to to to search
that because we have a many prophecy realizes

1030
01:37:45.319 --> 01:37:51.319
right now. So it's it's important
to to UH to be curious, curious

1031
01:37:51.439 --> 01:38:00.159
about the about the world, different
religions and and and Jesus. Just so

1032
01:38:00.359 --> 01:38:06.000
Jesus. I think it's the best
and going Jamie, I can give every

1033
01:38:06.039 --> 01:38:10.880
people cool Thank you, Benn.
It's been fantastic talking to you, and

1034
01:38:10.960 --> 01:38:15.199
it seems like this week has been
a real inspiration, had a big impact.

1035
01:38:15.560 --> 01:38:18.399
You had thirteen people get baptized,
yes, so, which is amazing.

1036
01:38:19.800 --> 01:38:23.960
Indeed, indeed, and I just
hope your work that you do within

1037
01:38:24.079 --> 01:38:28.119
your churches continues in the same way. Thank thank you so much. Thank

1038
01:38:28.159 --> 01:38:33.720
you again. He was was lovely
and again the whole team that put this

1039
01:38:33.800 --> 01:38:36.640
together, they worked so hard and
as Joe to being said about at the

1040
01:38:36.680 --> 01:38:41.680
beginning, they were really diligent with
whether they did. Everything was really top

1041
01:38:41.760 --> 01:38:45.000
notch. I mean they did an
amazing job, you know, whether it's

1042
01:38:45.079 --> 01:38:48.119
hosting, whether it was doing the
quiz, it's given out prizes. Yeah,

1043
01:38:48.359 --> 01:38:50.279
definitely. And at the end of
the day, the encouragement that he

1044
01:38:50.399 --> 01:38:56.039
gave to young people was to be
curious, to search out. Now is

1045
01:38:56.039 --> 01:38:59.399
the time to be asking those questions, to find out, find out about

1046
01:38:59.479 --> 01:39:02.199
Jesus, and I think you get
that relationship for yourself. And I hope

1047
01:39:02.199 --> 01:39:04.560
a program like that it's always you
know, it sparks a fire. As

1048
01:39:04.600 --> 01:39:08.520
it were. I was asking the
question, how are you going to get

1049
01:39:08.560 --> 01:39:11.319
up and shine? And everybody I
spoke to was really saying they really want

1050
01:39:11.319 --> 01:39:15.000
to share with other people just how
great God is. So you know,

1051
01:39:15.279 --> 01:39:17.760
from that, I definitely know I
felt inspired from a little bit that I

1052
01:39:18.319 --> 01:39:21.680
saw. I was there just for
the long weekend. I'm just seeing the

1053
01:39:21.800 --> 01:39:26.600
energy which were just really lovely.
I'm just really inspired and came away thinking,

1054
01:39:26.680 --> 01:39:29.960
oh, I want to travel more. But I think just experiencing worshiping

1055
01:39:30.239 --> 01:39:32.880
a different place and being able to
feel part of that was yeah, truly

1056
01:39:32.880 --> 01:39:39.199
amazing. So I love that.
I think for me it was I was

1057
01:39:39.279 --> 01:39:47.560
there for the Saturday, the Sabbath
service and passed to race spoke about power,

1058
01:39:49.079 --> 01:39:58.439
and he spoke about his dad making
this motor bicycle for him and he

1059
01:39:58.920 --> 01:40:00.920
didn't have a light for the bicycle
that you said, No, I'm getting

1060
01:40:00.920 --> 01:40:04.880
into day and just territory trying to
say what he said, but he didn't

1061
01:40:04.880 --> 01:40:10.600
have a light for the bicycle.
Apparently his dad did some wiring and whatnot,

1062
01:40:10.720 --> 01:40:15.079
unconnected the wire for the ball,
but two the pedals, so in

1063
01:40:15.359 --> 01:40:19.479
essence, when he peddled, it
generated the energy to get the light going.

1064
01:40:20.680 --> 01:40:24.880
You know. He spoke about humble
beginnings and just having to make things

1065
01:40:25.039 --> 01:40:30.840
out of nothing, and that for
him was a sermon because he spoke about

1066
01:40:30.920 --> 01:40:33.239
the light that we have to let
shine and it is the power of God

1067
01:40:33.359 --> 01:40:41.159
that gets it going, and that
for me was the essence of the program.

1068
01:40:41.359 --> 01:40:44.239
You know, the power of God
working in us and through us,

1069
01:40:44.880 --> 01:40:47.359
and the young people who were on
fire for him. You could see that

1070
01:40:47.520 --> 01:40:51.479
they were really eager, really yearning
for him, for more of him.

1071
01:40:51.560 --> 01:40:57.680
And that is something that maybe we
take for granted and we don't want to

1072
01:40:58.359 --> 01:41:01.760
We want to always have that path
should that passion for him and that power

1073
01:41:02.800 --> 01:41:06.039
connecting to the Holy Spirit, and
that for me is what I took away

1074
01:41:06.039 --> 01:41:10.760
from the program as well as passed
thorate Um. Just so you know that

1075
01:41:10.880 --> 01:41:13.760
we want to be on the next
plane with you, wherever you're going there,

1076
01:41:13.880 --> 01:41:20.960
we're on board to that. When
he was peddeling with the bike,

1077
01:41:21.039 --> 01:41:25.319
he was peeling up hill, yes, and then when he got to the

1078
01:41:25.399 --> 01:41:28.479
top of the hill, he went
he turned around and he went back down

1079
01:41:28.560 --> 01:41:32.760
the hill. He was using as
a metaphor of that once we get to

1080
01:41:32.840 --> 01:41:36.479
the top, guy will be with
us and it would be smooth sailing going

1081
01:41:36.600 --> 01:41:40.840
down down the hill, and that
he didn't have to put that much power

1082
01:41:41.000 --> 01:41:44.960
into it to the bike to let
the light shine, because the light was

1083
01:41:45.000 --> 01:41:47.520
already shining, because the body had
his own power. Yeah, because it

1084
01:41:47.640 --> 01:41:53.279
was going down hill. Amen.
I just want to add the rest of

1085
01:41:53.319 --> 01:41:55.800
that story, because he forgot it. No, I didn't forget it.

1086
01:42:01.680 --> 01:42:08.479
What else did you take I was
listening listening because I said I was listening,

1087
01:42:08.560 --> 01:42:11.920
it wasn't listening. But that's exactly
what I mean. What else did

1088
01:42:11.960 --> 01:42:16.600
you take away from it? Like
you said, I think Um pastor age

1089
01:42:16.720 --> 01:42:20.880
is really um connected to the to
the people, even though it's in a

1090
01:42:20.920 --> 01:42:26.840
different language, in a sense of
just you know, showing people that God,

1091
01:42:27.359 --> 01:42:30.560
God is real and that God is
Um. You know, got our

1092
01:42:30.600 --> 01:42:33.439
backs and He's here for us.
We just have to you know, be

1093
01:42:33.600 --> 01:42:39.439
faithful and watch over lad him Um
watch over us and be faithful and just

1094
01:42:39.560 --> 01:42:43.039
believe that God is there. And
you know, if we do that Guy

1095
01:42:43.119 --> 01:42:45.399
will take us through the storms,
He'll bring us through the fire, and

1096
01:42:45.720 --> 01:42:49.479
he'll bring us out on top on
sins. Amen, Amen, Josephine Tya.

1097
01:42:49.600 --> 01:42:54.600
We've got a few more seconds perhaps, but um, we really want

1098
01:42:54.600 --> 01:42:57.800
to hear from you. What what
did you take away? What's your final

1099
01:42:57.840 --> 01:43:02.439
one? Actually we didn't mention it
before, but the idea of bringing culture

1100
01:43:02.760 --> 01:43:08.640
as part of the worship service.
Ray made a real point of saying,

1101
01:43:08.760 --> 01:43:11.680
please sing some of your songs that
you grew up singing. Yea, and

1102
01:43:11.760 --> 01:43:14.720
they had a bit more of a
vibe. They had a bit more of

1103
01:43:14.880 --> 01:43:17.840
you know, what they are used
to maybe for six days of the week

1104
01:43:17.920 --> 01:43:21.720
and not the seventh. Yes,
but he's saying, don't neglect that part

1105
01:43:21.800 --> 01:43:25.840
of your worship, like they go
hand in hand. And I think that

1106
01:43:26.039 --> 01:43:30.600
really added to the comfort of getting
to know God during this series and the

1107
01:43:30.720 --> 01:43:35.359
authenticity because sometimes we put parts of
ourselves to decide to have a quote unquote

1108
01:43:35.359 --> 01:43:40.279
worship session. But we need to
be encouraged to bring all of ourselves,

1109
01:43:40.640 --> 01:43:45.239
culture backgrounds, well, our interests, all of that into our worships.

1110
01:43:45.239 --> 01:43:47.920
And I think that's what allowed it
to be so dynamic and so effective.

1111
01:43:48.319 --> 01:43:54.680
Yes, the context there and a
lot of the members were mostly Haiti,

1112
01:43:55.359 --> 01:44:00.640
so you know, yeah, yeah, Tara, I'm that note talking about

1113
01:44:00.680 --> 01:44:06.000
worshipping the songs. Well, what
was m How was your takeaway? My

1114
01:44:06.079 --> 01:44:09.800
takeaway is to just, you know, keep God in your life, keep

1115
01:44:09.840 --> 01:44:13.079
God first, um, you know, because he's a present, he's there,

1116
01:44:13.199 --> 01:44:15.079
he's waiting, and all he wanted
is for you to make time for

1117
01:44:15.319 --> 01:44:19.920
him. And I think through that
the whole revival people that was there,

1118
01:44:20.319 --> 01:44:24.479
I hope that they I hope that
they'll be able to experience God in a

1119
01:44:24.560 --> 01:44:29.920
different way, you know, and
receive him and to better themselves for Jesus.

1120
01:44:30.479 --> 01:44:33.840
And then I'm petrol. Do you
want to close us out with a

1121
01:44:33.920 --> 01:44:39.760
prayer? Okay? Having the following
on, thank you for bringing us to
