WEBVTT

1
00:00:06.919 --> 00:00:10.800
<v Speaker 1>And good morning, good morning, good morning, and welcome, welcome, welcome.

2
00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:14.279
<v Speaker 1>It is timed out for our community connection. And today

3
00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:17.800
<v Speaker 1>we have our friends from Lighthouse Outreach Center Eral. It's

4
00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:20.079
<v Speaker 1>always great to have you on board. But you brought

5
00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:21.640
<v Speaker 1>friends to he brought ladies with me.

6
00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:23.719
<v Speaker 2>Yes, we're glad to have an opportunity to be with

7
00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:24.679
<v Speaker 2>you and bring.

8
00:00:24.519 --> 00:00:26.000
<v Speaker 3>Some people to share about the Lighthouse.

9
00:00:26.280 --> 00:00:28.679
<v Speaker 1>And we've got a lot going on. First of all,

10
00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:33.240
<v Speaker 1>we have an upcoming film documentary it's called Americans with

11
00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:36.719
<v Speaker 1>No Address and that is coming up Sunday at East

12
00:00:36.759 --> 00:00:40.640
<v Speaker 1>Cross Church at six point thirty pm. Interesting because that's

13
00:00:40.799 --> 00:00:43.000
<v Speaker 1>a very big topic of conversation these days.

14
00:00:43.439 --> 00:00:44.679
<v Speaker 3>Right the movie was made.

15
00:00:45.159 --> 00:00:47.320
<v Speaker 2>This is the documentary of the filming of the movie.

16
00:00:47.560 --> 00:00:50.840
<v Speaker 2>The movie itself is about a story about people that

17
00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:52.880
<v Speaker 2>are having no address in how God's working in their

18
00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:56.119
<v Speaker 2>life and what's going on. But the documentary talks about

19
00:00:56.119 --> 00:00:57.759
<v Speaker 2>they did a tour across the United States.

20
00:00:57.560 --> 00:00:59.479
<v Speaker 3>Stopped at different shelters across.

21
00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:02.200
<v Speaker 2>The United States is homeless people and saw different situations

22
00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:04.879
<v Speaker 2>throughout the nation, so you can see the scope of

23
00:01:05.239 --> 00:01:06.000
<v Speaker 2>the homelesses.

24
00:01:06.079 --> 00:01:08.159
<v Speaker 3>It's nationwide.

25
00:01:08.359 --> 00:01:13.000
<v Speaker 1>At Lighthouse Outreach that's a strange occurrence. That is something

26
00:01:13.079 --> 00:01:16.799
<v Speaker 1>that we work handed hand with getting people back into

27
00:01:16.879 --> 00:01:17.799
<v Speaker 1>the mainstream.

28
00:01:17.879 --> 00:01:18.359
<v Speaker 3>Every day.

29
00:01:18.519 --> 00:01:21.599
<v Speaker 2>We have people that come from all different situations, some

30
00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:24.480
<v Speaker 2>of them coming from outside, living outdoors and with no

31
00:01:24.599 --> 00:01:28.079
<v Speaker 2>address actually, and some of them are brought here by

32
00:01:28.439 --> 00:01:29.599
<v Speaker 2>friends a family.

33
00:01:29.319 --> 00:01:30.719
<v Speaker 3>That need a place for them to stay.

34
00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:33.439
<v Speaker 2>Some of them the law enforcement brings people time time

35
00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:34.840
<v Speaker 2>and to get released from jail and need a place

36
00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:37.159
<v Speaker 2>for them to stay. Sometimes they come from a rehab program,

37
00:01:37.239 --> 00:01:42.560
<v Speaker 2>need a second secondary stop in the recovery. And it's

38
00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:46.159
<v Speaker 2>exciting to see the changes. We've got a lady right now,

39
00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:49.480
<v Speaker 2>she's a single mother, three kids. She's moving out this

40
00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:53.239
<v Speaker 2>whend this Friday. She's got her life together. She's moving

41
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:53.599
<v Speaker 2>back with.

42
00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:55.920
<v Speaker 3>Her mom or mom has her older son who's got

43
00:01:55.959 --> 00:01:59.799
<v Speaker 3>some physical difficulties. But she told me the other day, I.

44
00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:01.560
<v Speaker 2>Said it's a good thing, because sometimes it's not a

45
00:02:01.599 --> 00:02:03.439
<v Speaker 2>good thing. She said, yes, she said, last time I

46
00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:05.599
<v Speaker 2>been to my mom, my mom said you're different than

47
00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:06.280
<v Speaker 2>what she used to be.

48
00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:10.039
<v Speaker 3>Wow, And that's a wonderful, powerful statement and a different

49
00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:10.599
<v Speaker 3>meaning good.

50
00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:13.240
<v Speaker 2>And she's got a job working for a medical group

51
00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:15.800
<v Speaker 2>up there and where she's moving to in Oklahoma.

52
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:18.560
<v Speaker 3>So Wow, it's a great thing. Now I lived to

53
00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:19.879
<v Speaker 3>welcome back.

54
00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:22.439
<v Speaker 1>You've been here a time for three or four. Yeah,

55
00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:26.319
<v Speaker 1>Like we were talking about being holeless, and now I

56
00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:29.639
<v Speaker 1>understand that we actually have folks from Lighthouse because they

57
00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:29.960
<v Speaker 1>have a.

58
00:02:29.960 --> 00:02:34.000
<v Speaker 3>Whole now vote yes. It's just.

59
00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:38.800
<v Speaker 4>They get excited about the fact that they have never

60
00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:42.400
<v Speaker 4>voted before and now that they haven't address it's been

61
00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:43.479
<v Speaker 4>permanent for a while.

62
00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:45.520
<v Speaker 5>I think we've had seventeen or eighteen.

63
00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:47.599
<v Speaker 3>Wow, that's oppressive new.

64
00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:50.719
<v Speaker 4>Voters for the Lighthouse, which is a pretty good person

65
00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:53.680
<v Speaker 4>each when you consider we have children and young people

66
00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:57.039
<v Speaker 4>there too, so and we've made a real effort and

67
00:02:57.080 --> 00:02:59.400
<v Speaker 4>we're proud of that fact and they're excited.

68
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:02.919
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Sally with this here, Sally, you're a dorm super

<v Speaker 1>vicere Yes, how you like that.

70
00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:08.199
<v Speaker 5>It's a challenge, but it's fun.

71
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:11.400
<v Speaker 6>I get to help other people and that helps me too.

72
00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:12.360
<v Speaker 3>You know.

73
00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:18.280
<v Speaker 6>I'm still growing and covering from my addictions and stuff.

74
00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:22.680
<v Speaker 6>You know, I was living out in the tent for

75
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:24.639
<v Speaker 6>a week and the heat and oh.

76
00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:26.639
<v Speaker 5>What couldn't have been my bath was more like a

77
00:03:26.680 --> 00:03:27.280
<v Speaker 5>bug spray.

78
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:31.199
<v Speaker 6>And the coyotes, you know, they're pretty scary at night,

79
00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:33.800
<v Speaker 6>you know, busy, it's not fresh light.

80
00:03:33.800 --> 00:03:34.879
<v Speaker 5>I didn't get much sleep.

81
00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:40.080
<v Speaker 6>I showed up at the die House crying, standing at

82
00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:43.759
<v Speaker 6>the front door, and I didn't have any hours on.

83
00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:45.479
<v Speaker 5>The front door. I was just standing there and I.

84
00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:49.240
<v Speaker 6>Rang the doorbell twice and nobody come around. And I

85
00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:52.439
<v Speaker 6>pushed a little button and said hello, nobody come around.

86
00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:55.360
<v Speaker 6>Seeing people coming out the back door, and I'm like, well,

87
00:03:55.400 --> 00:03:59.000
<v Speaker 6>I had to go over there and see somebody getting

88
00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:01.719
<v Speaker 6>somebody out of talk with my feet just stayed planned.

89
00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:05.879
<v Speaker 6>And then Joe Clark come through the door and put

90
00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:07.879
<v Speaker 6>his Bible in his hand, open the door, and he said,

91
00:04:07.919 --> 00:04:10.479
<v Speaker 6>I really don't have anything. I said, I just need

92
00:04:10.520 --> 00:04:16.639
<v Speaker 6>a small space, because honestly I was I was on

93
00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:19.639
<v Speaker 6>the verge of committing suicidey and.

94
00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:24.839
<v Speaker 5>I was just mentally gone. I was just done.

95
00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:28.120
<v Speaker 6>You'd hit rock bother I thought I'd hit rock Bunton before,

96
00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:32.279
<v Speaker 6>but that was that was the bottom. And Joe said,

97
00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:34.439
<v Speaker 6>let me work a few things around. I really don't

98
00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:39.639
<v Speaker 6>have any room and gave him the weekend. Called me Monday,

99
00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:42.920
<v Speaker 6>seven o'clock Monday morning. I'm on the phone. He said,

100
00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:45.639
<v Speaker 6>I still haven't gotten no room yet, but he found

101
00:04:45.639 --> 00:04:52.040
<v Speaker 6>me a spot. Wow, and it saved my life from

102
00:04:52.040 --> 00:04:52.600
<v Speaker 6>a young age.

103
00:04:52.639 --> 00:04:54.399
<v Speaker 5>When my mother passed, I used to go to church

104
00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:56.639
<v Speaker 5>and they just pray and God'll fix it.

105
00:04:56.800 --> 00:05:00.439
<v Speaker 6>And then when she passed when I was eleven, it's

106
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:02.680
<v Speaker 6>like you lied to me, you know, so I kind

107
00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:03.519
<v Speaker 6>of quit believing.

108
00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:08.519
<v Speaker 5>I am going to be sixty one next month. And

109
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:14.000
<v Speaker 5>I believe in God and he works, He work miracles

110
00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:14.560
<v Speaker 5>I do.

111
00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:17.439
<v Speaker 6>I say a lot of praying for I pray in

112
00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:21.759
<v Speaker 6>the chapel every morning and every evening. I pray for

113
00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:25.000
<v Speaker 6>strength and guidance and the work and the wisdom, and

114
00:05:25.079 --> 00:05:29.720
<v Speaker 6>I try to help others because you know, it's never

115
00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:34.680
<v Speaker 6>too late to get help. I thought I was addicted

116
00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:40.240
<v Speaker 6>to drugs, an alcoholic. I started drinking like a fifteen,

117
00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:43.360
<v Speaker 6>So Devil's had a hold on.

118
00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:44.319
<v Speaker 5>Me for a long time.

119
00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:46.959
<v Speaker 6>And I just pray for God to, you know, help

120
00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:49.279
<v Speaker 6>break them chains and keep the shield around me.

121
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:54.480
<v Speaker 5>And they've saved my life. And now I'm a.

122
00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:57.319
<v Speaker 6>Dorm supervisor, just barely off of my two week So

123
00:05:58.279 --> 00:06:02.120

<v Speaker 6>the right people around you.

130
00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:17.480
<v Speaker 5>And I's fear they can see them all away.

131
00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:20.959
<v Speaker 6>I'm just like so, I just picked one thing a

132
00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:24.079
<v Speaker 6>day and start getting everything, get my ducks in a row.

133

146
00:06:59.079 --> 00:07:02.120

147
00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:05.920

148
00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:11.480
<v Speaker 6>to ask anybody. I was always independent. It's at a

149
00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:16.199
<v Speaker 6>tough girl, you know. And I can do it by myself.

150
00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:19.720
<v Speaker 6>You know, I'm too old to change. I've done it

151
00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:23.560
<v Speaker 6>for too long. It's never never, never too late. Never

152
00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:24.000
<v Speaker 6>too late.

153
00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:27.920
<v Speaker 5>God is there all the time for you.

154
00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:33.319
<v Speaker 1>That's amazing, Linda. This is just one of the many

155
00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:38.680
<v Speaker 1>great stories that come out from the Lighthouse outreach.

156
00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:42.040
<v Speaker 3>It happens every day, really absolutely.

157
00:07:41.519 --> 00:07:44.519
<v Speaker 4>And I think that's one of the things with this

158
00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:48.120
<v Speaker 4>movie that we have coming up on Sunday really emphasizes

159
00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:55.519
<v Speaker 4>that homelessness doesn't mean the stereotypical view that a lot

160
00:07:55.519 --> 00:07:57.560
<v Speaker 4>of people have of homelessness.

161
00:07:58.079 --> 00:08:01.399
<v Speaker 5>You know, there are people. Everybody makes bad choices, but

162
00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:03.560
<v Speaker 5>there are some people that were really dealt to bad

163
00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:05.399
<v Speaker 5>hand and the kids.

164
00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:09.839
<v Speaker 4>This movie also follows the storyline of a gal that

165
00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:14.079
<v Speaker 4>turned eighteen and aged out of foster care nowhere to go.

166
00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:18.399
<v Speaker 4>You know, when she turned eighteen, the foster parents.

167
00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:19.199
<v Speaker 5>Locked the doors on her.

168
00:08:19.600 --> 00:08:23.000
<v Speaker 4>So we just want to emphasize that this is a

169
00:08:23.040 --> 00:08:27.399
<v Speaker 4>problem everywhere. The average man who becomes homeless is after

170
00:08:27.480 --> 00:08:30.879
<v Speaker 4>he's fifty years old. So you know, there's just a

171
00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:33.799
<v Speaker 4>lot of information out there and we want to help

172
00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:36.919
<v Speaker 4>put This documentary is great. You hear documentary and you

173
00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:40.039
<v Speaker 4>think boring, but this one is amazing. We got to

174
00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:44.000
<v Speaker 4>see it this spring. It will touch your heart in

175
00:08:44.039 --> 00:08:44.759
<v Speaker 4>so many ways.

176
00:08:44.840 --> 00:08:47.440
<v Speaker 1>Now this is going to be Sunday at six thirty.

177
00:08:47.399 --> 00:08:48.360
<v Speaker 5>Sunday six thirty.

178
00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:51.799
<v Speaker 4>East Cross Churches are host free popcorn and drinks.

179
00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:54.000
<v Speaker 3>Do I have to get a ticket?

180
00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:56.639
<v Speaker 5>You do not have to register. It's free.

181
00:08:56.840 --> 00:08:59.840
<v Speaker 4>Just come, bring a friend, we'll have a great time.

182
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:03.279
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that is amazing, girl. How does it get done

183
00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:05.799
<v Speaker 1>there at the Lighthouse. God's got God's in control. I

184
00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:06.240
<v Speaker 1>know that.

185
00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:07.879
<v Speaker 3>It's just amazing.

186
00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:10.519
<v Speaker 2>And part of it is the legacy when Naomi started

187
00:09:10.519 --> 00:09:11.919
<v Speaker 2>at twenty some years ago.

188
00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:13.200
<v Speaker 3>Naomi passed away.

189
00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:16.360
<v Speaker 2>About a month ago, and I believe the city really

190
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:20.159
<v Speaker 2>owes her a great debt of gratitude and appreciation. We're

191
00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:21.559
<v Speaker 2>looking at what we can do to honor her, and

192
00:09:21.559 --> 00:09:23.080
<v Speaker 2>we've got some things in the works we might be

193
00:09:23.120 --> 00:09:26.320
<v Speaker 2>able to do in our area, right back there where

194
00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:29.480
<v Speaker 2>the Lighthouse is founded. But it was based on prayer,

195
00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:33.159
<v Speaker 2>and it was based on helping a person's life, get

196
00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:35.519
<v Speaker 2>their life changed by a heart change.

197
00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:37.759
<v Speaker 3>It has to be a heart change, because.

198
00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:39.639
<v Speaker 2>If we just feed people, if we just clothe them,

199
00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:41.879
<v Speaker 2>we just get them a job or get them to

200
00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:46.759
<v Speaker 2>the doctor or whatever, and don't address the deepest issue

201
00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:50.000
<v Speaker 2>every person has, and that's their spiritual condition, their relationship

202
00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:51.600
<v Speaker 2>with God, then we failed them.

203
00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:53.360
<v Speaker 3>We may have helped them have a.

204
00:09:53.360 --> 00:09:56.320
<v Speaker 2>Little better life now, but they're going to die with

205
00:09:56.519 --> 00:09:58.679
<v Speaker 2>or without God, and we are part of our job

206
00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:00.840
<v Speaker 2>is to help them. And once this person turns life

207
00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:03.440
<v Speaker 2>over to God, these other things begin to fall into place.

208
00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:06.480
<v Speaker 3>It's not easy, it's not simple, but there's a way out.

209
00:10:06.519 --> 00:10:08.799
<v Speaker 2>You've got somebody guiding you, and you've got some principles

210
00:10:08.799 --> 00:10:10.600
<v Speaker 2>to help you, and you've got a whole host of

211
00:10:10.679 --> 00:10:11.919
<v Speaker 2>Christian community.

212
00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:13.039
<v Speaker 3>To give you support and encouragement.

213
00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:17.559
<v Speaker 2>So the life change has to be the main emphasis

214
00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:19.879
<v Speaker 2>of any kind of ministry that's trying to help people

215
00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:24.240
<v Speaker 2>get their life turned around. We have people from all

216
00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:26.480
<v Speaker 2>different satuations. We've got a young man there now, he's

217
00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:28.799
<v Speaker 2>twenty six years old, to believe, he's got two years

218
00:10:28.840 --> 00:10:32.720
<v Speaker 2>of law school, and he came to us homeless and

219
00:10:32.840 --> 00:10:33.279
<v Speaker 2>needs help.

220
00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:33.600
<v Speaker 3>Right now.

221
00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:36.240
<v Speaker 2>In God's work in his life, we're seeing a great change.

222
00:10:36.279 --> 00:10:38.480
<v Speaker 2>And just like in Sally, sometimes you can just see

223
00:10:38.480 --> 00:10:40.840
<v Speaker 2>in a person there's just something more there than what

224
00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:42.080
<v Speaker 2>looks like.

225
00:10:42.159 --> 00:10:42.799
<v Speaker 3>On the surface.

226
00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:45.240
<v Speaker 2>And that young man has got a lot of potential.

227
00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:47.519
<v Speaker 2>Hopefully he'll be able to continue to go back into

228
00:10:47.679 --> 00:10:51.240
<v Speaker 2>finish up his law degree, but there's something going to

229
00:10:51.279 --> 00:10:53.360
<v Speaker 2>be taking character before then, and we're working with him

230
00:10:53.399 --> 00:10:53.600
<v Speaker 2>on that.

231
00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:55.720
<v Speaker 3>I have a question for you.

232
00:10:56.480 --> 00:10:58.879
<v Speaker 1>We used to get these nice little invitations there right now,

233
00:10:58.919 --> 00:11:01.639
<v Speaker 1>and again I have no I said, I got to

234
00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:06.240
<v Speaker 1>read this, and then Garrett would go and visit with you.

235
00:11:06.240 --> 00:11:08.519
<v Speaker 1>You have these tours every day and again tell the

236
00:11:08.600 --> 00:11:09.480
<v Speaker 1>story of lighthouse.

237
00:11:10.480 --> 00:11:12.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, we invite the community to come in and have

238
00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:14.600
<v Speaker 4>a free lunch with our residents.

239
00:11:14.679 --> 00:11:15.519
<v Speaker 5>Take a quick tour.

240
00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:17.519
<v Speaker 4>We have a lot of new things going on there.

241
00:11:17.679 --> 00:11:18.200
<v Speaker 3>I see.

242
00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:21.320
<v Speaker 4>We always have a great attendance, have a great meal.

243
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:25.759
<v Speaker 4>Our next one attendatively scheduled for December third, all right,

244
00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:29.200
<v Speaker 4>and we have them about every six to eight weeks,

245
00:11:29.240 --> 00:11:33.200
<v Speaker 4>depending on when a holiday's holidays that if you don't

246
00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:36.039
<v Speaker 4>get an invitation and you want one, call the lighthouse.

247
00:11:36.799 --> 00:11:40.720
<v Speaker 1>Now. We also run on the generosity of our friend

248
00:11:40.759 --> 00:11:43.360
<v Speaker 1>to neighbors too, So if somebody wants to make a

249
00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:45.759
<v Speaker 1>contribution that's really going to go a long way at

250
00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:47.879
<v Speaker 1>someone's life, can they just get a hold of you

251
00:11:47.960 --> 00:11:48.639

<v Speaker 4>They and we also have opportunities now that if people

261
00:12:15.399 --> 00:12:18.440
<v Speaker 3>We'll take it. I put it into good roly.

262
00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:21.159
<v Speaker 1>You know, a lot of churches have partnered up with

263
00:12:21.200 --> 00:12:23.919
<v Speaker 1>you one way, chiep or form or another to afform

264
00:12:23.960 --> 00:12:26.240
<v Speaker 1>it an association, whether it servian meals.

265
00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:27.639
<v Speaker 3>Or just help it out.

266
00:12:27.960 --> 00:12:30.559
<v Speaker 2>There's the three different ways that churches help us significantly.

267
00:12:30.600 --> 00:12:32.879
<v Speaker 2>One is that we have about nine churches that serve

268
00:12:32.919 --> 00:12:35.360
<v Speaker 2>a meal once a month. They prepare meal, bring it

269
00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:36.960
<v Speaker 2>down there, and the people in the church get to

270
00:12:36.960 --> 00:12:39.360
<v Speaker 2>serve the meal, get to visit the people interact. It's

271
00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:41.200
<v Speaker 2>a wonderful opportunity to have a mission right here in

272
00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:43.720
<v Speaker 2>our own local community. And it helps us with our

273
00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:47.240
<v Speaker 2>financial budget also. And then also we have pastors from

274
00:12:47.240 --> 00:12:50.600
<v Speaker 2>different churches come and do messages chapel for us, and

275
00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:52.919
<v Speaker 2>we've got I used to doing most of the chapels,

276
00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:54.679
<v Speaker 2>but now if I could to a chapel.

277
00:12:54.360 --> 00:12:55.240
<v Speaker 3>Every once in a while.

278
00:12:55.480 --> 00:12:59.360
<v Speaker 2>It's an occasional and I love doing it. But we've

279
00:12:59.360 --> 00:13:02.000
<v Speaker 2>got so many good pastors coming right now, and they

280
00:13:02.039 --> 00:13:03.799
<v Speaker 2>just seem to relate to the people. And they're from

281
00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:08.720
<v Speaker 2>all different Church of Christ, Salvation Army, Highland Park, Baptists

282
00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:12.799
<v Speaker 2>for All Humanity, Wesleyan, just a bunch of different sources.

283
00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:15.399
<v Speaker 2>And we have many nights coming from Freedom into Kansas

284
00:13:15.399 --> 00:13:17.279
<v Speaker 2>once a month's been coming from about fifteen years now.

285
00:13:17.559 --> 00:13:19.840
<v Speaker 2>They do a special service for us, all a capellal,

286
00:13:19.919 --> 00:13:23.120
<v Speaker 2>beautiful singing of hymns, just a wonderful opportunity to see

287
00:13:23.120 --> 00:13:26.440
<v Speaker 2>a variety of Christian experiences for gent to the people.

288
00:13:26.519 --> 00:13:28.879
<v Speaker 2>So and then another thing, some churches put us in

289
00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:30.519
<v Speaker 2>their budget. Every month we get a check from the

290
00:13:30.600 --> 00:13:33.279
<v Speaker 2>church from their mission budget. Some churches take a special

291
00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:34.279
<v Speaker 2>offering once.

292
00:13:34.080 --> 00:13:34.440
<v Speaker 3>In a while.

293
00:13:34.840 --> 00:13:37.080
<v Speaker 2>East Cross it does a mountain of food every year,

294
00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:39.519
<v Speaker 2>gives us about seven thousand dollars worth of food, and

295
00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:41.600
<v Speaker 2>we're getting ready for that. They're already collecting it at

296
00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:44.159
<v Speaker 2>the church there. And so there are just so many

297
00:13:44.200 --> 00:13:46.240
<v Speaker 2>ways that people help us out. And I'd love to

298
00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:47.919
<v Speaker 2>come and speak at your church, bring a resident or

299
00:13:47.919 --> 00:13:49.919
<v Speaker 2>to to give it their testimony. So there's a lot

300
00:13:49.960 --> 00:13:52.360
<v Speaker 2>of opportunities for church to become involved. And you know,

301
00:13:52.360 --> 00:13:54.879
<v Speaker 2>we think of missions is overseas, but we've got missions

302
00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:55.320
<v Speaker 2>right here.

303
00:13:55.399 --> 00:13:57.120
<v Speaker 3>It's coming to us right here, all.

304
00:13:57.080 --> 00:13:59.080
<v Speaker 1>Right, Live and tell us where we can find again

305
00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:01.600
<v Speaker 1>we Partlespiel.

306
00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:06.519
<v Speaker 4>Whitehouse dot Org is our website and that's a it's
