On this special episode
of Life Today --
00:00:10.577 --> 00:00:12.545 align:start line:63% position:20% size:58%
SHEILA: And so I was
sitting down at my desk
00:00:12.612 --> 00:00:14.714 align:center line:63% position:50% size:50%
and I was viewing
the different pieces
00:00:14.781 --> 00:00:16.616 align:center line:63% position:50% size:45%
I'm going to share
with you today.
00:00:16.683 --> 00:00:19.652 align:start line:63% position:23% size:55%
And suddenly,
I was just overwhelmed
00:00:19.719 --> 00:00:22.922 align:center line:63% position:50% size:53%
with this sense of
how easy it is for me
00:00:22.989 --> 00:00:26.693 align:center line:63% position:50% size:63%
to get caught up
in my own life at moments
00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:29.295 align:center line:63% position:50% size:48%
and forget
the bigger picture.
00:00:29.362 --> 00:00:31.398 align:start line:63% position:33% size:35%
I found myself
sitting there
00:00:31.464 --> 00:00:33.700 align:center line:63% position:50% size:53%
with tears
rolling down my face.
00:00:33.767 --> 00:00:36.603 align:start line:63% position:28% size:45%
I'll tell you
what I did expect,
00:00:36.669 --> 00:00:39.372 align:center line:63% position:50% size:60%
and I'll tell you what
absolutely blew me away.
00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:42.375 align:center line:10% position:65% size:28%

SHEILA: Welcome to LIFE Today.
00:01:03.530 --> 00:01:04.864 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
I'm Sheila Walsh.
00:01:04.931 --> 00:01:06.132 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
And I'm so glad that
00:01:06.199 --> 00:01:07.267 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
you're going to spend
00:01:07.333 --> 00:01:08.401 align:start line:63% position:10% size:73%
the next few minutes with me.
00:01:08.468 --> 00:01:10.036 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
I have a slight confession
00:01:10.103 --> 00:01:12.172 align:start line:63% position:10% size:40%
to make upfront.
00:01:12.238 --> 00:01:13.473 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
Have you ever had one
00:01:13.540 --> 00:01:14.741 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
of those moments where
00:01:14.808 --> 00:01:16.176 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
you're caught in something
00:01:16.242 --> 00:01:17.477 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
that seems important
00:01:17.544 --> 00:01:18.778 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
and then you think
00:01:18.845 --> 00:01:20.580 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
how ridiculous it is
00:01:20.647 --> 00:01:21.748 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
when you put it into
00:01:21.815 --> 00:01:22.982 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
the perspective of
00:01:23.049 --> 00:01:24.250 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
everything else that is
00:01:24.317 --> 00:01:25.585 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
going on in the world?
00:01:25.652 --> 00:01:26.719 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
So this morning, I don't
00:01:26.786 --> 00:01:27.987 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
know why I did this but
00:01:28.054 --> 00:01:29.689 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I decided to weigh myself.
00:01:29.756 --> 00:01:31.958 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
Never a good thing to do
00:01:32.025 --> 00:01:33.092 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
before you've had
00:01:33.159 --> 00:01:34.394 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
your coffee.
00:01:34.461 --> 00:01:35.628 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
And I was kind of frustrated
00:01:35.695 --> 00:01:36.763 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
with myself because I have
00:01:36.830 --> 00:01:38.364 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
all these great ideas of
00:01:38.431 --> 00:01:39.532 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
what I'm going to do and how
00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:40.733 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I'm going to eat healthier
00:01:40.800 --> 00:01:41.968 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
and all that stuff.
00:01:42.035 --> 00:01:44.604 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
And the scale basically said
00:01:44.671 --> 00:01:46.105 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
to me, come back
00:01:46.172 --> 00:01:47.474 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
when you're alone.
00:01:47.540 --> 00:01:48.708 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
So it was clear that things
00:01:48.775 --> 00:01:50.143 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
were not going well.
00:01:50.210 --> 00:01:51.344 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
And then I came downstairs
00:01:51.411 --> 00:01:52.879 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
and I thought about today.
00:01:52.946 --> 00:01:54.347 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I thought about being here
00:01:54.414 --> 00:01:55.882 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
in the studio at LIFE
00:01:55.949 --> 00:01:57.250 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
and the incredible privilege
00:01:57.317 --> 00:02:00.453 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
I have of a perspective
00:02:00.520 --> 00:02:01.588 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
that perhaps all of you
00:02:01.654 --> 00:02:02.856 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
don't have.
00:02:02.922 --> 00:02:04.157 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I've been able to travel
00:02:04.224 --> 00:02:05.358 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
to different parts of
00:02:05.425 --> 00:02:06.693 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
the world and see the
00:02:06.759 --> 00:02:08.828 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
real needs that are going on.
00:02:08.895 --> 00:02:10.230 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
And also, to see
00:02:10.296 --> 00:02:11.264 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
the difference that
00:02:11.331 --> 00:02:12.365 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
you and I can make.
00:02:12.432 --> 00:02:13.466 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
So I was sitting down at
00:02:13.533 --> 00:02:14.767 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
my desk and I was viewing
00:02:14.834 --> 00:02:16.236 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
the different pieces
00:02:16.302 --> 00:02:17.437 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
I'm going to share
00:02:17.504 --> 00:02:18.505 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
with you today.
00:02:18.571 --> 00:02:19.606 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
And suddenly, I was just
00:02:19.672 --> 00:02:21.708 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
overwhelmed with the sense
00:02:21.774 --> 00:02:24.210 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
of how easy it is for me
00:02:24.277 --> 00:02:25.812 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
to get caught up
00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:28.281 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
in my own life at moments
00:02:28.348 --> 00:02:29.582 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
and forget
00:02:29.649 --> 00:02:31.251 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
the bigger picture.
00:02:31.317 --> 00:02:32.652 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
For those of us, for you
00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:34.621 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
and I who love Jesus,
00:02:34.687 --> 00:02:36.289 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
we're on this planet
00:02:36.356 --> 00:02:37.824 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
for a purpose.
00:02:37.891 --> 00:02:38.958 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
We're not just here
00:02:39.025 --> 00:02:40.393 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
by accident at this time
00:02:40.460 --> 00:02:41.728 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
in human history.
00:02:41.794 --> 00:02:44.464 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
We're here for a purpose.
00:02:44.531 --> 00:02:46.165 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
And what is that purpose?
00:02:46.232 --> 00:02:47.300 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
That's what I began as
00:02:47.367 --> 00:02:48.401 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I watched the final pieces
00:02:48.468 --> 00:02:49.869 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
beginning to roll, I found
00:02:49.936 --> 00:02:51.170 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
myself sitting there
00:02:51.237 --> 00:02:52.772 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
at my desk with tears
00:02:52.839 --> 00:02:54.374 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
rolling down my face
00:02:54.440 --> 00:02:55.575 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
thinking how quickly
00:02:55.642 --> 00:02:57.010 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
I could have forgotten
00:02:57.076 --> 00:02:58.177 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
some of the things that
00:02:58.244 --> 00:03:00.413 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
are going on not months ago,
00:03:00.480 --> 00:03:01.514 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
not years ago,
00:03:01.581 --> 00:03:04.117 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
but at this very moment.
00:03:04.183 --> 00:03:05.818 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
And also remembering
00:03:05.885 --> 00:03:07.053 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
some of the women that
00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:09.622 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I met on some of my trips.
00:03:09.689 --> 00:03:11.224 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I'll tell you what I did
00:03:11.291 --> 00:03:13.026 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
expect and I'll tell you
00:03:13.092 --> 00:03:15.395 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
what absolutely blew me away.
00:03:15.461 --> 00:03:17.330 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
I knew the first time that
00:03:17.397 --> 00:03:18.898 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
I was flying to Africa
00:03:18.965 --> 00:03:20.199 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
and I would be on
00:03:20.266 --> 00:03:21.868 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
a Mission Feeding trip,
00:03:21.935 --> 00:03:23.803 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I knew that I would have
00:03:23.870 --> 00:03:25.572 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
to see children who are
00:03:25.638 --> 00:03:27.974 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
severely malnourished
00:03:28.041 --> 00:03:29.542 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
and hurting,
00:03:29.609 --> 00:03:31.277 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
clinging to life.
00:03:31.344 --> 00:03:32.779 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
I knew that I would
00:03:32.845 --> 00:03:34.280 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
meet their moms.
00:03:34.347 --> 00:03:35.915 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
And as a mom myself,
00:03:35.982 --> 00:03:37.450 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
sitting beside them,
00:03:37.517 --> 00:03:38.751 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
watching, trying to see
00:03:38.818 --> 00:03:39.919 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
through their eyes as
00:03:39.986 --> 00:03:42.121 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
their little ones struggle,
00:03:42.188 --> 00:03:43.156 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
I knew that.
00:03:43.222 --> 00:03:44.624 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
Now you're never prepared
00:03:44.691 --> 00:03:46.593 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
for how brutal it is
00:03:46.659 --> 00:03:47.794 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
but it was in my mind
00:03:47.860 --> 00:03:50.063 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
and my heart.
00:03:50.129 --> 00:03:51.197 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
Here's what I was
00:03:51.264 --> 00:03:52.966 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
not prepared for.
00:03:53.032 --> 00:03:54.801 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
I was not prepared for
00:03:54.867 --> 00:03:58.938 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
the praying women I met.
00:03:59.005 --> 00:04:01.140 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
These women, living in
00:04:01.207 --> 00:04:04.377 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
abject poverty with nothing
00:04:04.444 --> 00:04:06.379 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
to feed their children
00:04:06.446 --> 00:04:07.780 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
weren't worrying about
00:04:07.847 --> 00:04:09.082 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
what they might look like
00:04:09.148 --> 00:04:10.750 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
in a reflection.
00:04:10.817 --> 00:04:12.018 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
What they were doing was
00:04:12.085 --> 00:04:13.720 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
looking at their children
00:04:13.786 --> 00:04:15.488 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
who are suffering.
00:04:15.555 --> 00:04:17.123 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
But then what they were doing
00:04:17.190 --> 00:04:18.358 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
was they were getting
00:04:18.424 --> 00:04:20.393 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
on their knees
00:04:20.460 --> 00:04:22.829 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
under an African sky
00:04:22.895 --> 00:04:24.597 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
and lifting their requests
00:04:24.664 --> 00:04:26.532 align:start line:85% position:10% size:18%
to God.
00:04:26.599 --> 00:04:28.735 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
These are amazing women.
00:04:28.801 --> 00:04:29.802 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
I want you to meet one
00:04:29.869 --> 00:04:30.870 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
or two of them.
00:04:30.937 --> 00:04:32.572 align:start line:85% position:10% size:28%
Watch this.
00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:42.615 align:start line:58% position:25% size:50%
SHEILA: When I'm
on a mission's trip,
00:04:42.682 --> 00:04:44.917 align:center line:58% position:50% size:58%
my heart is continually
touched by mothers
00:04:44.984 --> 00:04:48.121 align:center line:58% position:50% size:70%
facing some of life's
most devastating situations.

SHEILA:
This is Armeda.
00:05:10.443 --> 00:05:14.247 align:start line:74% position:20% size:60%
Can you begin to imagine
the crushing impact of
losing your children
00:05:14.313 --> 00:05:16.883 align:center line:79% position:50% size:50%
because you
could not feed them?
00:05:16.949 --> 00:05:18.951 align:start line:79% position:28% size:45%
It was devastating
for Armeda,
00:05:19.018 --> 00:05:22.555 align:start line:74% position:20% size:58%
but she knows
she must carry on
for her other children.
00:05:22.622 --> 00:05:24.557 align:start line:79% position:33% size:35%
How does
she manage it?
00:05:24.624 --> 00:05:26.626 align:start line:79% position:30% size:38%
Through
fervent prayer.
00:05:42.175 --> 00:05:44.110 align:start line:79% position:20% size:60%
SHEILA:
I would love to tell you
00:05:44.177 --> 00:05:46.112 align:center line:79% position:50% size:55%
Armeda's story
of losing her children
00:05:46.179 --> 00:05:48.715 align:center line:79% position:50% size:58%
because of
a lack of food is rare,
00:05:48.781 --> 00:05:50.717 align:center line:85% position:50% size:35%
but it is not.
00:05:50.783 --> 00:05:52.919 align:start line:79% position:28% size:43%
These women,
by show of hands,
00:05:52.985 --> 00:05:55.955 align:center line:79% position:50% size:60%
shared how many children
they each had lost.
00:05:56.022 --> 00:06:01.928 align:start line:74% position:28% size:45%
They well know
the same heartache
as Armeda.
00:06:01.994 --> 00:06:04.897 align:start line:79% position:18% size:35%
Mandolina lost
five children.
00:06:08.234 --> 00:06:10.336 align:start line:79% position:23% size:33%
Yngo,
two children.
00:06:13.973 --> 00:06:16.042 align:start line:74% position:35% size:25%
Margarita,
one child.
00:06:20.546 --> 00:06:24.083 align:start line:79% position:10% size:38%
Julia,
three children.
00:06:25.118 --> 00:06:27.120 align:start line:79% position:23% size:55%
One thing all
these precious mothers
00:06:27.186 --> 00:06:29.422 align:center line:79% position:50% size:35%
have in common
through prayer
00:06:29.489 --> 00:06:31.924 align:center line:79% position:50% size:55%
is they put their hope
for tomorrow
00:06:31.991 --> 00:06:34.427 align:center line:79% position:50% size:30%
in the hands
of Jesus.
00:06:34.494 --> 00:06:36.429 align:start line:79% position:25% size:30%
I will
never forget
00:06:36.496 --> 00:06:38.798 align:center line:79% position:40% size:40%
that here
in this village,
00:06:38.865 --> 00:06:42.168 align:center line:79% position:50% size:55%
my sister in Christ
gets down on her knees
00:06:42.235 --> 00:06:44.904 align:center line:79% position:50% size:60%
even though she may not
be kneeling on a carpet,
00:06:44.971 --> 00:06:47.907 align:center line:79% position:50% size:53%
she might be kneeling
on sand or dirt,
00:06:47.974 --> 00:06:49.942 align:center line:79% position:50% size:48%
but we are thanking
the same God
00:06:50.009 --> 00:06:52.411 align:center line:79% position:50% size:43%
for his provision
that day
00:06:52.478 --> 00:06:54.413 align:center line:79% position:68% size:28%
in absolute
confidence
00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:56.415 align:center line:79% position:65% size:50%
that the God
who is with us today
00:06:56.482 --> 00:06:58.451 align:center line:79% position:68% size:38%
will be with us
tomorrow.
00:06:58.518 --> 00:07:01.320 align:start line:79% position:20% size:33%
God is moving
in Africa,
00:07:01.387 --> 00:07:04.891 align:center line:79% position:38% size:48%
and you and I get
to be a part of it.
00:07:12.665 --> 00:07:13.933 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
SHEILA: I love what
00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:15.968 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
James said, "If you want
00:07:16.035 --> 00:07:17.370 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
an answer to prayer,
00:07:17.436 --> 00:07:18.638 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
be an answer to someone
00:07:18.704 --> 00:07:20.606 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
else's prayer."
00:07:20.673 --> 00:07:21.707 align:start line:63% position:10% size:35%
You know what?
00:07:21.774 --> 00:07:23.242 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
That very first trip that
00:07:23.309 --> 00:07:25.978 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
I took left an impact on me.
00:07:26.045 --> 00:07:27.446 align:start line:63% position:10% size:63%
But honestly, it has only
00:07:27.513 --> 00:07:29.148 align:start line:63% position:10% size:43%
increased because
00:07:29.215 --> 00:07:30.349 align:start line:63% position:10% size:40%
the situation in
00:07:30.416 --> 00:07:32.118 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
so many areas of the world
00:07:32.185 --> 00:07:34.987 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
is getting worse and worse.
00:07:35.054 --> 00:07:37.390 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
The great irony of a place
00:07:37.456 --> 00:07:39.058 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
like Africa is you can
00:07:39.125 --> 00:07:40.827 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
have one area where
00:07:40.893 --> 00:07:42.562 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
it is devastation because
00:07:42.628 --> 00:07:44.697 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
of flooding, and then
00:07:44.764 --> 00:07:46.299 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
you can have another area
00:07:46.365 --> 00:07:47.500 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
where it's devastation
00:07:47.567 --> 00:07:48.668 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
because they haven't
00:07:48.734 --> 00:07:50.970 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
seen rain in over a year.
00:07:51.037 --> 00:07:52.538 align:start line:85% position:10% size:25%
I watched.
00:07:52.605 --> 00:07:53.873 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
These mothers are not women
00:07:53.940 --> 00:07:55.308 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
who sit around hoping
00:07:55.374 --> 00:07:56.609 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
that someone will come
00:07:56.676 --> 00:07:58.277 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
and give them a handout.
00:07:58.344 --> 00:08:00.046 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
No, I've watched them
00:08:00.112 --> 00:08:01.547 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
digging through the dirt
00:08:01.614 --> 00:08:03.883 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
looking for anything that
00:08:03.950 --> 00:08:06.919 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
they could give their child.
00:08:06.986 --> 00:08:08.688 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
The first lady that we saw
00:08:08.754 --> 00:08:10.790 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
there on that first piece,
00:08:10.857 --> 00:08:12.024 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
did you notice she had
00:08:12.091 --> 00:08:13.292 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
the name "Jesus"
00:08:13.359 --> 00:08:15.061 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
written on her headband?
00:08:15.127 --> 00:08:16.229 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
One of the things I was
00:08:16.295 --> 00:08:18.030 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
so struck by was she said,
00:08:18.097 --> 00:08:19.432 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
"At the end of the day
00:08:19.498 --> 00:08:21.300 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
we thank the Lord
00:08:21.367 --> 00:08:22.902 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
for his provision
00:08:22.969 --> 00:08:24.904 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
for one more day."
00:08:24.971 --> 00:08:26.405 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
And what they have
00:08:26.472 --> 00:08:29.675 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
is almost nothing.
00:08:29.742 --> 00:08:31.043 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
But I think sometimes when
00:08:31.110 --> 00:08:33.379 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
you literally have nothing,
00:08:33.446 --> 00:08:35.047 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
and then you find a little
00:08:35.114 --> 00:08:37.817 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
something you're so aware of
00:08:37.884 --> 00:08:39.952 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
the fact that your dependence
00:08:40.019 --> 00:08:41.921 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
is completely on the Lord.
00:08:41.988 --> 00:08:43.789 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
And perhaps we forget that.
00:08:43.856 --> 00:08:45.324 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
We have so much that
00:08:45.391 --> 00:08:47.126 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
we forget that literally,
00:08:47.193 --> 00:08:49.862 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
every good gift
00:08:49.929 --> 00:08:51.764 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
comes from the Lord.
00:08:51.831 --> 00:08:53.900 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
But watching our sisters
00:08:53.966 --> 00:08:56.269 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
on their knees praying --
00:08:56.335 --> 00:08:57.536 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
I read something,
00:08:57.603 --> 00:08:58.537 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
I used to work with
00:08:58.604 --> 00:08:59.772 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
an organization called
00:08:59.839 --> 00:09:01.007 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
Tear Fund in England,
00:09:01.073 --> 00:09:02.508 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
and I get their newsletter.
00:09:02.575 --> 00:09:04.310 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
I read it this morning
00:09:04.377 --> 00:09:06.112 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
and it said this,
00:09:06.178 --> 00:09:08.814 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
"Poverty and malnutrition
00:09:08.881 --> 00:09:11.183 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
are never God's will.
00:09:11.250 --> 00:09:13.152 align:start line:85% position:10% size:18%
We are.
00:09:13.219 --> 00:09:14.654 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
We are the answer
00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:16.989 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
to those prayers."
00:09:17.056 --> 00:09:18.424 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
Sometimes we think
00:09:18.491 --> 00:09:19.558 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
well, I could never go
00:09:19.625 --> 00:09:21.127 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
and be a missionary.
00:09:21.193 --> 00:09:22.295 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
The Lord doesn't need
00:09:22.361 --> 00:09:23.362 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
all of us to do that.
00:09:23.429 --> 00:09:24.497 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
We have our partners
00:09:24.563 --> 00:09:25.831 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
who are on the ground
00:09:25.898 --> 00:09:27.600 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
right now waiting.
00:09:27.667 --> 00:09:29.135 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
We've made a commitment
00:09:29.201 --> 00:09:30.536 align:start line:85% position:10% size:38%
at LIFE to feed
00:09:30.603 --> 00:09:35.207 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
350,000 children this year.
00:09:35.274 --> 00:09:36.709 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
And when we talk to
00:09:36.776 --> 00:09:38.144 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
our partners,
00:09:38.210 --> 00:09:40.246 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
we'll present the need.
00:09:40.313 --> 00:09:41.580 align:start line:58% position:10% size:53%
We'll help our people
00:09:41.647 --> 00:09:42.815 align:start line:58% position:10% size:28%
understand.
00:09:42.882 --> 00:09:43.916 align:start line:58% position:10% size:63%
So that's what I'm asking
00:09:43.983 --> 00:09:45.985 align:start line:58% position:10% size:65%
if we'll all do something.
00:09:46.052 --> 00:09:48.721 align:start line:58% position:10% size:70%
$30 will feed three children
00:09:48.788 --> 00:09:50.356 align:start line:58% position:10% size:43%
for three months.
00:09:50.423 --> 00:09:52.258 align:start line:58% position:10% size:73%
You can't feed three children
00:09:52.325 --> 00:09:53.693 align:start line:58% position:10% size:60%
with $30 at a restaurant
00:09:53.759 --> 00:09:55.761 align:start line:58% position:10% size:45%
on one night here.
00:09:55.828 --> 00:09:58.364 align:start line:58% position:10% size:70%
$50 will feed five children.
00:09:58.431 --> 00:10:00.833 align:start line:58% position:10% size:68%
$100 will feed ten children
00:10:00.900 --> 00:10:04.103 align:start line:58% position:10% size:58%
for three whole months!
00:10:04.170 --> 00:10:05.204 align:start line:58% position:10% size:73%
One of my friends has started
00:10:05.271 --> 00:10:06.339 align:start line:58% position:10% size:58%
a campaign that I loved
00:10:06.405 --> 00:10:07.840 align:start line:58% position:10% size:68%
and it is called "Skip it."
00:10:07.907 --> 00:10:10.977 align:start line:58% position:10% size:73%
Skip one thing you don't need
00:10:11.043 --> 00:10:13.245 align:start line:58% position:10% size:68%
to be able to give children
00:10:13.312 --> 00:10:14.580 align:start line:58% position:10% size:73%
something that they literally
00:10:14.647 --> 00:10:17.016 align:start line:58% position:10% size:50%
cannot live without.
00:10:17.083 --> 00:10:18.284 align:start line:58% position:10% size:48%
Sometimes we think,
00:10:18.351 --> 00:10:20.319 align:start line:58% position:10% size:68%
how do these crises happen?
00:10:20.386 --> 00:10:22.788 align:start line:58% position:10% size:73%
What led up to those children
00:10:22.855 --> 00:10:24.490 align:start line:58% position:10% size:60%
being in that situation?
00:10:24.557 --> 00:10:25.658 align:start line:58% position:10% size:30%
Well, that's
00:10:25.725 --> 00:10:26.993 align:start line:58% position:10% size:43%
a great question.
00:10:27.059 --> 00:10:28.094 align:start line:58% position:10% size:53%
Would you watch this?
00:10:28.160 --> 00:10:29.562 align:start line:58% position:10% size:65%
and I think it will answer
00:10:29.628 --> 00:10:30.730 align:start line:58% position:10% size:55%
that question for you.
00:10:30.796 --> 00:10:32.531 align:start line:58% position:10% size:28%
Watch this.
00:10:33.532 --> 00:10:35.935 align:start line:79% position:15% size:70%
ISAK: People often ask me,
"What does crisis look like?
00:10:36.002 --> 00:10:37.937 align:start line:74% position:28% size:43%
When you say,
'There's a crisis
in the field,'
00:10:38.004 --> 00:10:39.939 align:center line:85% position:50% size:35%
what is that?"
00:10:40.006 --> 00:10:42.341 align:start line:79% position:25% size:48%
This is the picture
of crisis.
00:10:42.408 --> 00:10:44.343 align:start line:58% position:35% size:30%
Mother
after mother
00:10:44.410 --> 00:10:47.179 align:center line:58% position:50% size:70%
here in the screening clinic
for malnutrition.
00:10:47.246 --> 00:10:49.181 align:start line:58% position:23% size:55%
You can see
how overcrowded it is.
00:10:49.248 --> 00:10:51.584 align:start line:79% position:15% size:68%
Mothers that have come here
in absolute desperation.
00:10:51.650 --> 00:10:54.620 align:start line:79% position:23% size:55%
Crisis is when
there are more mothers
00:10:54.687 --> 00:10:56.622 align:center line:85% position:50% size:48%
than we can handle.
00:10:56.689 --> 00:10:59.091 align:start line:79% position:20% size:60%
Crisis is when
there is not enough food
00:10:59.158 --> 00:11:01.093 align:center line:79% position:50% size:40%
for each
and every child.
00:11:01.160 --> 00:11:04.296 align:start line:74% position:28% size:43%
Crisis is when
the silent killer
of malnutrition
00:11:04.363 --> 00:11:07.500 align:center line:79% position:50% size:65%
comes in and starts
to literally rob the lives
00:11:07.566 --> 00:11:09.769 align:center line:79% position:50% size:53%
of each and every one
of these children.
00:11:09.835 --> 00:11:12.872 align:start line:79% position:15% size:70%
But I need you to understand
where their crisis starts.
00:11:12.938 --> 00:11:14.874 align:start line:85% position:23% size:55%
It doesn't start here.
00:11:14.940 --> 00:11:16.876 align:start line:85% position:23% size:53%
This is where it ends
00:11:16.942 --> 00:11:18.878 align:center line:79% position:50% size:73%
and many times
it ends with a tragic ending.
00:11:18.944 --> 00:11:21.480 align:start line:79% position:23% size:55%
But this crisis starts
from the village.
00:11:21.547 --> 00:11:23.482 align:start line:79% position:20% size:58%
It starts
because of failed crops
00:11:23.549 --> 00:11:26.619 align:center line:79% position:50% size:63%
due to the worst drought
in 40 years in this area.
00:11:26.685 --> 00:11:28.754 align:start line:79% position:23% size:55%
It starts because
the mother is not able
00:11:28.821 --> 00:11:32.358 align:center line:79% position:50% size:55%
to produce enough food
to feed her family.
00:11:32.425 --> 00:11:34.994 align:start line:79% position:25% size:48%
It starts because
a child goes to bed
00:11:35.061 --> 00:11:37.630 align:center line:79% position:50% size:35%
without a meal
that day,
00:11:37.696 --> 00:11:41.133 align:center line:79% position:50% size:33%
and the next
and the next.
00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:43.969 align:start line:79% position:25% size:48%
That is how
this crisis starts.
00:11:45.971 --> 00:11:47.907 align:start line:79% position:15% size:68%
It's not because
these mothers are not doing
00:11:47.973 --> 00:11:49.909 align:center line:85% position:50% size:48%
everything they can
00:11:49.975 --> 00:11:51.911 align:center line:79% position:50% size:48%
to provide
for their children;
00:11:51.977 --> 00:11:53.913 align:center line:79% position:50% size:48%
it's because
everything they can
00:11:53.979 --> 00:11:56.749 align:center line:85% position:50% size:35%
is not enough.
00:11:56.816 --> 00:11:58.951 align:center line:79% position:50% size:55%
How do we change that,
you ask?
00:11:59.018 --> 00:12:01.153 align:start line:79% position:20% size:58%
We change it
by reaching the mothers
00:12:01.220 --> 00:12:03.155 align:center line:85% position:50% size:50%
out in the villages.
00:12:03.222 --> 00:12:05.157 align:start line:79% position:15% size:68%
We change it
by bringing Mission Feeding
00:12:05.224 --> 00:12:07.159 align:center line:85% position:50% size:43%
to those mothers,
00:12:07.226 --> 00:12:09.829 align:center line:79% position:50% size:68%
providing that bowl of food
each and every day.
00:12:09.895 --> 00:12:12.098 align:start line:79% position:23% size:55%
The nutrients
that that child needs,
00:12:12.164 --> 00:12:14.100 align:center line:79% position:50% size:53%
that's how
we avert this crisis.
00:12:14.166 --> 00:12:16.102 align:start line:79% position:33% size:35%
Not here
in the clinic!
00:12:16.168 --> 00:12:19.438 align:start line:79% position:18% size:65%
By the time we get here,
many times it is too late.
00:12:19.505 --> 00:12:22.741 align:start line:79% position:20% size:60%
So please, help us today
to take Mission Feeding
00:12:22.808 --> 00:12:24.743 align:center line:79% position:50% size:50%
to the mothers
out in the villages.
00:12:24.810 --> 00:12:26.745 align:start line:79% position:33% size:35%
I can give you
a guarantee
00:12:26.812 --> 00:12:29.915 align:center line:79% position:50% size:68%
that we will literally
bring hope to those mothers
00:12:29.982 --> 00:12:32.418 align:center line:79% position:50% size:45%
and life
to those children.
00:12:33.586 --> 00:12:36.956 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
SHEILA: Hope and life!
00:12:37.022 --> 00:12:39.325 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
That's the kingdom of God.
00:12:39.391 --> 00:12:42.094 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
That Jesus came to give life
00:12:42.161 --> 00:12:43.696 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
to each one of us.
00:12:43.762 --> 00:12:45.297 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
And because of the hope
00:12:45.364 --> 00:12:46.599 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
that we have been given,
00:12:46.665 --> 00:12:48.134 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
we get to reach out
00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:49.401 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
and make a difference.
00:12:49.468 --> 00:12:51.804 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
I could almost guarantee
00:12:51.871 --> 00:12:53.139 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
that if you and I could
00:12:53.205 --> 00:12:55.407 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
get on a flight tomorrow
00:12:55.474 --> 00:12:56.609 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
and fly over there,
00:12:56.675 --> 00:12:57.810 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
and you saw with your
00:12:57.877 --> 00:12:59.278 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
own eyes what was going on,
00:12:59.345 --> 00:13:01.147 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
you would do everything
00:13:01.213 --> 00:13:03.916 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
within your power to help
00:13:03.983 --> 00:13:05.084 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
alleviate the suffering
00:13:05.151 --> 00:13:06.752 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
of these children.
00:13:06.819 --> 00:13:07.920 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
But the great thing is
00:13:07.987 --> 00:13:09.088 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
that's why we bring
00:13:09.155 --> 00:13:10.489 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
these stories to you
00:13:10.556 --> 00:13:11.657 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
because it is not practical
00:13:11.724 --> 00:13:12.725 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
for us all to get
00:13:12.791 --> 00:13:13.826 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
on a flight and go.
00:13:13.893 --> 00:13:15.127 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
So we bring the children
00:13:15.194 --> 00:13:16.228 align:start line:85% position:10% size:18%
to you.
00:13:16.295 --> 00:13:17.630 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
That precious little one
00:13:17.696 --> 00:13:19.565 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
at the end, when when you see
00:13:19.632 --> 00:13:21.167 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
that skin peeling away,
00:13:21.233 --> 00:13:22.535 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
that's one of the effects
00:13:22.601 --> 00:13:23.769 align:start line:85% position:10% size:53%
of malnutrition where
00:13:23.836 --> 00:13:24.803 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
there is simply not enough
00:13:24.870 --> 00:13:26.205 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
nutrients or protein
00:13:26.272 --> 00:13:27.273 align:start line:85% position:10% size:30%
in the body.
00:13:27.339 --> 00:13:28.340 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
What we want to do
00:13:28.407 --> 00:13:30.743 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
and Isak, we love working
00:13:30.809 --> 00:13:33.012 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
with the Pretorius family.
00:13:33.078 --> 00:13:34.580 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
His dad and mom started it
00:13:34.647 --> 00:13:35.814 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
and he's carrying on
00:13:35.881 --> 00:13:36.815 align:start line:85% position:10% size:45%
his father's work,
00:13:36.882 --> 00:13:38.150 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
Peter Pretorius.
00:13:38.217 --> 00:13:39.251 align:start line:85% position:10% size:65%
But the thing that we want
00:13:39.318 --> 00:13:40.686 align:start line:85% position:10% size:58%
to do is we want to get
00:13:40.753 --> 00:13:42.388 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
to the villages before
00:13:42.454 --> 00:13:43.856 align:start line:85% position:10% size:48%
the children end up
00:13:43.923 --> 00:13:45.858 align:start line:85% position:10% size:70%
in the malnutrition clinics.
00:13:45.925 --> 00:13:47.393 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
And we can do it.
00:13:47.459 --> 00:13:49.061 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
And so I'm asking you,
00:13:49.128 --> 00:13:50.596 align:start line:58% position:10% size:65%
I'm asking you to help us.
00:13:50.663 --> 00:13:51.830 align:start line:58% position:10% size:38%
We want to feed
00:13:51.897 --> 00:13:55.100 align:start line:58% position:10% size:43%
350,000 children.
00:13:55.167 --> 00:13:56.101 align:start line:58% position:10% size:50%
We've broken it down
00:13:56.168 --> 00:13:57.169 align:start line:58% position:10% size:45%
in such a way that
00:13:57.236 --> 00:13:58.304 align:start line:58% position:10% size:58%
every single one of us,
00:13:58.370 --> 00:13:59.772 align:start line:58% position:10% size:63%
whether you're a teenager
00:13:59.838 --> 00:14:00.873 align:start line:58% position:10% size:45%
with an allowance,
00:14:00.940 --> 00:14:01.907 align:start line:58% position:10% size:35%
whether you're
00:14:01.974 --> 00:14:03.075 align:start line:58% position:10% size:63%
a successful businessman,
00:14:03.142 --> 00:14:04.176 align:start line:58% position:10% size:35%
whether you're
00:14:04.243 --> 00:14:05.311 align:start line:58% position:10% size:48%
a stay-at-home mom,
00:14:05.377 --> 00:14:06.445 align:start line:58% position:10% size:63%
whether you're a retiree,
00:14:06.512 --> 00:14:07.980 align:start line:58% position:10% size:55%
every single one of us
00:14:08.047 --> 00:14:09.682 align:start line:58% position:10% size:43%
can do something.
00:14:09.748 --> 00:14:12.785 align:start line:58% position:10% size:70%
$30 will feed three children
00:14:12.851 --> 00:14:14.186 align:start line:58% position:10% size:43%
for three months.
00:14:14.253 --> 00:14:17.790 align:start line:58% position:10% size:68%
$50 will feed five children
00:14:17.856 --> 00:14:19.892 align:start line:58% position:10% size:58%
for three whole months!
00:14:19.959 --> 00:14:22.428 align:start line:58% position:10% size:40%
This is a crisis
00:14:22.494 --> 00:14:24.430 align:start line:58% position:10% size:73%
and it is a crisis right now.
00:14:24.496 --> 00:14:26.932 align:start line:58% position:10% size:73%
And you and I are God's hands
00:14:26.999 --> 00:14:28.567 align:start line:58% position:10% size:53%
and feet on the earth
00:14:28.634 --> 00:14:29.935 align:start line:58% position:10% size:38%
at this moment.
00:14:30.002 --> 00:14:31.570 align:start line:58% position:10% size:53%
Is there any doubt in
00:14:31.637 --> 00:14:33.372 align:start line:58% position:10% size:58%
your heart or mind that
00:14:33.439 --> 00:14:34.506 align:start line:58% position:10% size:55%
if Jesus was literally
00:14:34.573 --> 00:14:35.808 align:start line:58% position:10% size:45%
walking this earth
00:14:35.874 --> 00:14:36.942 align:start line:58% position:10% size:35%
at this moment
00:14:37.009 --> 00:14:38.377 align:start line:58% position:10% size:53%
that's where he'd be?
00:14:38.444 --> 00:14:39.445 align:start line:58% position:10% size:55%
He would be with those
00:14:39.511 --> 00:14:40.779 align:start line:58% position:10% size:38%
who are hurting
00:14:40.846 --> 00:14:41.847 align:start line:58% position:10% size:60%
and those who are broken
00:14:41.914 --> 00:14:42.948 align:start line:58% position:10% size:50%
and those crying out
00:14:43.015 --> 00:14:44.350 align:start line:58% position:10% size:23%
for help.
00:14:44.416 --> 00:14:45.618 align:start line:58% position:10% size:43%
These moms, these
00:14:45.684 --> 00:14:47.586 align:start line:58% position:10% size:73%
grandmothers, these children,
00:14:47.653 --> 00:14:49.188 align:start line:58% position:10% size:38%
they're family.
00:14:49.255 --> 00:14:50.656 align:start line:58% position:10% size:58%
So let's determine that
00:14:50.723 --> 00:14:52.024 align:start line:58% position:10% size:53%
this year we're going
00:14:52.091 --> 00:14:53.225 align:start line:58% position:10% size:53%
to make a difference.
00:14:53.292 --> 00:14:54.560 align:start line:58% position:10% size:60%
So please, will you call
00:14:54.627 --> 00:14:55.928 align:start line:58% position:10% size:65%
the number on your screen?
00:14:55.995 --> 00:14:56.996 align:start line:58% position:10% size:55%
You might think, well,
00:14:57.062 --> 00:14:58.230 align:start line:58% position:10% size:48%
I don't have a lot.
00:14:58.297 --> 00:14:59.498 align:start line:58% position:10% size:73%
But if you give what you have
00:14:59.565 --> 00:15:00.633 align:start line:58% position:10% size:55%
and I give what I have
00:15:00.699 --> 00:15:01.934 align:start line:58% position:10% size:60%
and we all do something,
00:15:02.001 --> 00:15:03.636 align:start line:58% position:10% size:63%
then together we're going
00:15:03.702 --> 00:15:05.437 align:start line:58% position:10% size:63%
to make a massive impact.
00:15:05.504 --> 00:15:07.139 align:start line:58% position:10% size:58%
The kingdom of darkness
00:15:07.206 --> 00:15:08.974 align:start line:58% position:10% size:60%
in our nation is getting
00:15:09.041 --> 00:15:11.510 align:start line:58% position:10% size:73%
darker and darker by the day.
00:15:11.577 --> 00:15:12.811 align:start line:58% position:10% size:55%
And this is not a time
00:15:12.878 --> 00:15:14.380 align:start line:58% position:10% size:63%
for you and I to sit back
00:15:14.446 --> 00:15:15.481 align:start line:58% position:10% size:50%
and say, well, Lord,
00:15:15.547 --> 00:15:16.615 align:start line:58% position:10% size:48%
come and rescue us.
00:15:16.682 --> 00:15:18.117 align:start line:58% position:10% size:63%
No! This is a time to say
00:15:18.183 --> 00:15:19.985 align:start line:58% position:10% size:65%
we are here at this moment
00:15:20.052 --> 00:15:21.754 align:start line:58% position:10% size:68%
on this planet at this time
00:15:21.820 --> 00:15:23.289 align:start line:58% position:10% size:70%
and we're going to reach out
00:15:23.355 --> 00:15:24.857 align:start line:58% position:10% size:45%
in Jesus' name and
00:15:24.923 --> 00:15:26.225 align:start line:58% position:10% size:65%
we're going to save lives.
00:15:26.292 --> 00:15:27.293 align:start line:58% position:10% size:40%
Do you know what
00:15:27.359 --> 00:15:28.360 align:start line:58% position:10% size:48%
the other thing is?
00:15:28.427 --> 00:15:29.795 align:start line:58% position:10% size:65%
We often get the privilege
00:15:29.862 --> 00:15:30.929 align:start line:58% position:10% size:63%
of then praying with some
00:15:30.996 --> 00:15:32.164 align:start line:58% position:10% size:65%
of these mothers who don't
00:15:32.231 --> 00:15:33.666 align:start line:58% position:10% size:55%
even know who Jesus is
00:15:33.732 --> 00:15:34.767 align:start line:58% position:10% size:53%
and leading them into
00:15:34.833 --> 00:15:36.268 align:start line:58% position:10% size:65%
a relationship with Christ
00:15:36.335 --> 00:15:37.603 align:start line:58% position:10% size:70%
that will last for eternity.
00:15:37.670 --> 00:15:39.571 align:start line:58% position:10% size:70%
So please, go to your phone,
00:15:39.638 --> 00:15:40.606 align:start line:58% position:10% size:48%
dial that number on
00:15:40.673 --> 00:15:42.141 align:start line:58% position:10% size:73%
the screen, call that number,
00:15:42.207 --> 00:15:43.208 align:start line:58% position:10% size:50%
go online, just give
00:15:43.275 --> 00:15:45.244 align:start line:58% position:10% size:65%
the very best gift you can
00:15:45.311 --> 00:15:47.579 align:start line:58% position:10% size:65%
and together you and I are
00:15:47.646 --> 00:15:50.015 align:start line:58% position:10% size:68%
going to change this world.
00:15:51.483 --> 00:15:54.720 align:start line:58% position:20% size:60%
Right now, across
the continent of Africa,
00:15:54.787 --> 00:15:57.189 align:center line:58% position:50% size:65%
children are suffering,
facing severe malnutrition
00:15:57.256 --> 00:15:59.258 align:center line:58% position:50% size:20%
and even
death.
00:15:59.325 --> 00:16:01.393 align:start line:10% position:25% size:48%
With food reserves
critically depleted
00:16:01.460 --> 00:16:04.563 align:center line:10% position:50% size:68%
and many areas experiencing
devastating famine,
00:16:04.630 --> 00:16:06.999 align:center line:10% position:50% size:53%
we urgently need
to replenish supplies
00:16:07.066 --> 00:16:10.269 align:center line:10% position:50% size:50%
to keep feeding
the 350,000 children
00:16:10.336 --> 00:16:13.105 align:center line:10% position:50% size:55%
who are counting on us
every single day.
00:16:13.172 --> 00:16:15.140 align:start line:58% position:18% size:63%

00:16:17.209 --> 00:16:19.778 align:center line:58% position:50% size:65%

00:17:22.908 --> 00:17:25.010 align:start line:58% position:18% size:63%
ISAK: We've come
into this village because
00:17:25.077 --> 00:17:28.313 align:center line:58% position:50% size:58%
we've heard of how bad
this situation is here.
00:17:28.380 --> 00:17:30.382 align:start line:79% position:25% size:48%
The only thing that
they're eating
00:17:30.449 --> 00:17:32.718 align:center line:79% position:50% size:60%
is this wild,
sort of berry-like fruit
00:17:32.785 --> 00:17:35.053 align:center line:79% position:50% size:50%
that they're getting
off of the tree.
00:17:35.120 --> 00:17:37.055 align:start line:79% position:25% size:48%
And then the only
other thing is that
00:17:37.122 --> 00:17:40.259 align:center line:79% position:50% size:63%
they're actually taking
these worms, drying them,
00:17:40.325 --> 00:17:42.861 align:center line:79% position:50% size:58%
and then they're eating
these worms.
00:17:42.928 --> 00:17:45.597 align:start line:79% position:28% size:43%
That's all
they have to eat.
00:17:45.664 --> 00:17:48.367 align:start line:79% position:28% size:45%
I was just talking
to the people.
00:17:48.434 --> 00:17:51.003 align:start line:79% position:25% size:50%
This lady responded
the moment I stopped
00:17:51.069 --> 00:17:53.972 align:center line:85% position:50% size:63%
and she started speaking.
00:18:10.556 --> 00:18:12.558 align:start line:79% position:23% size:55%
ISAK: That was the cry
of her heart.
00:18:12.624 --> 00:18:15.561 align:start line:79% position:18% size:63%
Help me to honor
my promise to this mother
00:18:15.627 --> 00:18:18.130 align:center line:79% position:50% size:38%
that says yes,
we will return.
00:18:18.197 --> 00:18:21.533 align:start line:79% position:20% size:60%
We will help you.
We will save your lives.
00:18:28.140 --> 00:18:32.644 align:start line:10% position:28% size:43%
It's good
to see you again!
00:18:32.711 --> 00:18:35.180 align:start line:79% position:18% size:63%
The mission team was able
to fulfill their promise
00:18:35.247 --> 00:18:37.216 align:center line:79% position:50% size:40%
and return to
the same village
00:18:37.282 --> 00:18:40.052 align:center line:79% position:50% size:70%
with emergency food supplies
because of the support
00:18:40.118 --> 00:18:44.423 align:center line:79% position:50% size:70%
from the friends of
LIFE Outreach International.
00:18:44.490 --> 00:18:46.425 align:start line:79% position:15% size:70%
ISAK: I know you remember me
because we were here
00:18:46.492 --> 00:18:48.961 align:center line:79% position:50% size:40%
maybe just
three weeks ago.
00:18:50.796 --> 00:18:52.798 align:center line:85% position:50% size:33%
[Translating]
00:18:54.533 --> 00:18:56.869 align:start line:79% position:15% size:70%
ISAK: And I made you
a promise that we were going
00:18:56.935 --> 00:18:59.271 align:center line:79% position:50% size:73%
to go away and we were
going to see what we could do
00:18:59.338 --> 00:19:02.140 align:center line:79% position:50% size:58%
to be able to come back
and help your community
00:19:02.207 --> 00:19:05.210 align:center line:79% position:50% size:70%
because there was no food
here because of the drought.
00:19:05.277 --> 00:19:09.548 align:start line:79% position:13% size:73%
And so I'm excited to be able
to say the truck is here,
00:19:09.615 --> 00:19:12.951 align:center line:79% position:50% size:60%
the food is here, we are
fulfilling our promise.
00:19:13.018 --> 00:19:15.754 align:start line:79% position:18% size:65%
But not just today,
we will continue to assist
00:19:15.821 --> 00:19:18.690 align:center line:79% position:50% size:60%
your community as much
as we can going forward.
00:19:18.757 --> 00:19:21.560 align:start line:79% position:18% size:63%
But for today, we will do
the first distribution.
00:19:21.627 --> 00:19:23.695 align:center line:85% position:50% size:25%
God bless!
00:19:23.762 --> 00:19:27.566 align:start line:79% position:15% size:70%
There are many more villages
like this one in Angola.
00:19:27.633 --> 00:19:29.968 align:start line:79% position:20% size:58%
The record drought has
left countless children
00:19:30.035 --> 00:19:32.604 align:center line:79% position:50% size:48%
and their families
without enough food
00:19:32.671 --> 00:19:35.440 align:center line:79% position:50% size:53%
and at risk of
extreme malnutrition.
00:19:35.507 --> 00:19:38.377 align:start line:79% position:20% size:60%
Join the friends of LIFE
and be the answer
00:19:38.443 --> 00:19:41.547 align:center line:79% position:50% size:50%
to the cry of
those in great need.
00:19:58.797 --> 00:20:00.098 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
SHEILA: Some of you have
00:20:00.165 --> 00:20:01.833 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
written and said sometimes,
00:20:01.900 --> 00:20:03.001 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
"Do you ever get a chance to
00:20:03.068 --> 00:20:04.269 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
go back to those villages?
00:20:04.336 --> 00:20:05.737 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
You show us a situation,
00:20:05.804 --> 00:20:07.239 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
do you ever get to go back?"
00:20:07.306 --> 00:20:08.507 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
So we really wanted you
00:20:08.574 --> 00:20:09.708 align:start line:85% position:10% size:40%
to see that very
00:20:09.775 --> 00:20:11.543 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
immediate answer to prayer.
00:20:11.610 --> 00:20:12.978 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
That darling woman crying
00:20:13.045 --> 00:20:14.580 align:start line:85% position:10% size:73%
out, "If you don't come back,
00:20:14.646 --> 00:20:15.914 align:start line:85% position:10% size:33%
we will die."
00:20:15.981 --> 00:20:17.382 align:start line:85% position:10% size:55%
And three weeks later,
00:20:17.449 --> 00:20:18.450 align:start line:85% position:10% size:60%
Isak was able to go back
00:20:18.517 --> 00:20:19.618 align:start line:85% position:10% size:35%
with the team.
00:20:19.685 --> 00:20:20.752 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
But let me tell you,
00:20:20.819 --> 00:20:22.554 align:start line:85% position:10% size:68%
there are women in hundreds
00:20:22.621 --> 00:20:24.022 align:start line:85% position:10% size:43%
of other villages
00:20:24.089 --> 00:20:26.258 align:start line:85% position:10% size:63%
and their cry is the same
00:20:26.325 --> 00:20:28.527 align:start line:85% position:10% size:50%
and the need is now.
00:20:28.594 --> 00:20:30.062 align:start line:58% position:10% size:58%
And we can only do this
00:20:30.128 --> 00:20:32.397 align:start line:58% position:10% size:50%
if you will help us.
00:20:32.464 --> 00:20:33.799 align:start line:58% position:10% size:40%
We have promised
00:20:33.865 --> 00:20:35.634 align:start line:58% position:10% size:43%
350,000 children,
00:20:35.701 --> 00:20:36.935 align:start line:58% position:10% size:55%
that's our commitment,
00:20:37.002 --> 00:20:38.170 align:start line:58% position:10% size:65%
we would love to blow that
00:20:38.236 --> 00:20:39.738 align:start line:58% position:10% size:68%
out of the water, honestly,
00:20:39.805 --> 00:20:42.474 align:start line:58% position:10% size:73%
because the need is so great.
00:20:42.541 --> 00:20:44.009 align:start line:58% position:10% size:70%
And if those of us who claim
00:20:44.076 --> 00:20:45.611 align:start line:58% position:10% size:70%
the name of Christ took that
00:20:45.677 --> 00:20:47.746 align:start line:58% position:10% size:65%
seriously in terms of when
00:20:47.813 --> 00:20:51.049 align:start line:58% position:10% size:63%
Jesus said, "I was hungry
00:20:51.116 --> 00:20:52.651 align:start line:58% position:10% size:38%
and you fed me.
00:20:52.718 --> 00:20:54.152 align:start line:58% position:10% size:33%
I was thirsty
00:20:54.219 --> 00:20:56.054 align:start line:58% position:10% size:58%
and you gave me water."
00:20:56.121 --> 00:20:57.689 align:start line:58% position:10% size:53%
Whenever we reach out
00:20:57.756 --> 00:20:59.491 align:start line:58% position:10% size:58%
in Jesus' name, it's as
00:20:59.558 --> 00:21:01.526 align:start line:58% position:10% size:65%
if we're literally feeding
00:21:01.593 --> 00:21:02.861 align:start line:58% position:10% size:55%
the Lord, reaching out
00:21:02.928 --> 00:21:04.262 align:start line:58% position:10% size:60%
and touching him because
00:21:04.329 --> 00:21:05.797 align:start line:58% position:10% size:60%
he is with those who are
00:21:05.864 --> 00:21:07.766 align:start line:58% position:10% size:53%
hungry and suffering.
00:21:07.833 --> 00:21:08.834 align:start line:58% position:10% size:58%
That's where you always
00:21:08.900 --> 00:21:10.002 align:start line:58% position:10% size:30%
found Jesus.
00:21:10.068 --> 00:21:11.069 align:start line:58% position:10% size:33%
He was always
00:21:11.136 --> 00:21:12.337 align:start line:58% position:10% size:40%
with the broken,
00:21:12.404 --> 00:21:13.639 align:start line:58% position:10% size:53%
with the downtrodden,
00:21:13.705 --> 00:21:14.773 align:start line:58% position:10% size:48%
with the forgotten.
00:21:14.840 --> 00:21:16.108 align:start line:58% position:10% size:58%
But whenever we go into
00:21:16.174 --> 00:21:17.442 align:start line:58% position:10% size:70%
these villages we tell them,
00:21:17.509 --> 00:21:19.177 align:start line:58% position:10% size:58%
"You are not forgotten.
00:21:19.244 --> 00:21:20.312 align:start line:58% position:10% size:53%
We will come back and
00:21:20.379 --> 00:21:21.880 align:start line:58% position:10% size:68%
we will tell your stories."
00:21:21.947 --> 00:21:23.115 align:start line:58% position:10% size:45%
And it is the most
00:21:23.181 --> 00:21:25.117 align:start line:58% position:10% size:68%
glorious thing in the world
00:21:25.183 --> 00:21:27.653 align:start line:58% position:10% size:65%
to be able to then go back
00:21:27.719 --> 00:21:29.321 align:start line:58% position:10% size:65%
and let them see we're not
00:21:29.388 --> 00:21:31.056 align:start line:58% position:10% size:58%
just coming to tell you
00:21:31.123 --> 00:21:33.058 align:start line:58% position:10% size:65%
about a God who loves you.
00:21:33.125 --> 00:21:34.626 align:start line:58% position:10% size:63%
First of all, we're going
00:21:34.693 --> 00:21:36.294 align:start line:58% position:10% size:50%
to come and show you
00:21:36.361 --> 00:21:37.729 align:start line:58% position:10% size:43%
how he loves you;
00:21:37.796 --> 00:21:38.897 align:start line:58% position:10% size:60%
that we're going to help
00:21:38.964 --> 00:21:40.198 align:start line:58% position:10% size:60%
feed you, help take care
00:21:40.265 --> 00:21:41.433 align:start line:58% position:10% size:43%
of your children.
00:21:41.500 --> 00:21:42.601 align:start line:58% position:10% size:45%
So often we set up
00:21:42.668 --> 00:21:43.802 align:start line:58% position:10% size:58%
the feeding programs in
00:21:43.869 --> 00:21:45.103 align:start line:58% position:10% size:65%
the school so the children
00:21:45.170 --> 00:21:46.405 align:start line:58% position:10% size:55%
have to come to school
00:21:46.471 --> 00:21:47.706 align:start line:58% position:10% size:48%
to get their meals.
00:21:47.773 --> 00:21:49.174 align:start line:58% position:10% size:73%
And then it breaks that cycle
00:21:49.241 --> 00:21:51.076 align:start line:58% position:10% size:63%
of poverty and illiteracy
00:21:51.143 --> 00:21:52.244 align:start line:58% position:10% size:63%
that goes from generation
00:21:52.310 --> 00:21:53.912 align:start line:58% position:10% size:35%
to generation.
00:21:53.979 --> 00:21:55.881 align:start line:58% position:10% size:73%
We believe -- we're believing
00:21:55.947 --> 00:21:57.082 align:start line:58% position:10% size:70%
that in that great continent
00:21:57.149 --> 00:21:59.051 align:start line:58% position:10% size:68%
of Africa that God is going
00:21:59.117 --> 00:22:01.086 align:start line:58% position:10% size:63%
to raise up men and women
00:22:01.153 --> 00:22:02.187 align:start line:58% position:10% size:33%
to be leaders
00:22:02.254 --> 00:22:03.455 align:start line:58% position:10% size:50%
in their nations but
00:22:03.522 --> 00:22:05.257 align:start line:58% position:10% size:60%
it starts with something
00:22:05.323 --> 00:22:07.159 align:start line:58% position:10% size:25%
so simple.
00:22:07.225 --> 00:22:08.493 align:start line:58% position:10% size:45%
It starts with you
00:22:08.560 --> 00:22:10.095 align:start line:58% position:10% size:73%
and it starts with me saying,
00:22:10.162 --> 00:22:11.296 align:start line:58% position:10% size:58%
yep, I'm not just going
00:22:11.363 --> 00:22:12.798 align:start line:58% position:10% size:55%
to sit and watch this.
00:22:12.864 --> 00:22:14.499 align:start line:58% position:10% size:68%
I'm going to go and pick up
00:22:14.566 --> 00:22:16.902 align:start line:58% position:10% size:55%
my phone and I'm going
00:22:16.968 --> 00:22:18.336 align:start line:58% position:10% size:48%
to dial that number
00:22:18.403 --> 00:22:19.638 align:start line:58% position:10% size:68%
on the screen and I'm going
00:22:19.705 --> 00:22:21.573 align:start line:58% position:10% size:53%
to make a commitment.
00:22:21.640 --> 00:22:24.509 align:start line:58% position:10% size:63%
Even $30 would feed three
00:22:24.576 --> 00:22:26.111 align:start line:58% position:10% size:65%
children for three months.
00:22:26.178 --> 00:22:28.113 align:start line:58% position:10% size:68%
If you're able to give $100
00:22:28.180 --> 00:22:31.183 align:start line:58% position:10% size:73%
that would feed ten children.
00:22:31.249 --> 00:22:33.185 align:start line:58% position:10% size:65%
And if God has blessed you
00:22:33.251 --> 00:22:34.720 align:start line:58% position:10% size:70%
and you think you know what?
00:22:34.786 --> 00:22:36.722 align:start line:58% position:10% size:48%
I could give $1,000
00:22:36.788 --> 00:22:38.123 align:start line:58% position:10% size:65%
some of you could do that.
00:22:38.190 --> 00:22:39.357 align:start line:58% position:10% size:68%
Do you know that would feed
00:22:39.424 --> 00:22:41.226 align:start line:58% position:10% size:30%
100 children
00:22:41.293 --> 00:22:42.994 align:start line:58% position:10% size:43%
for three months?
00:22:43.061 --> 00:22:44.796 align:start line:58% position:10% size:40%
What a blessing!
00:22:44.863 --> 00:22:46.498 align:start line:58% position:10% size:65%
So often I think we forget
00:22:46.565 --> 00:22:48.033 align:start line:58% position:10% size:63%
that we're on this planet
00:22:48.100 --> 00:22:49.768 align:start line:58% position:10% size:55%
just for a short time,
00:22:49.835 --> 00:22:51.269 align:start line:58% position:10% size:48%
it is like a vapor.
00:22:51.336 --> 00:22:52.370 align:start line:58% position:10% size:40%
And then one day
00:22:52.437 --> 00:22:53.638 align:start line:58% position:10% size:50%
Jesus is coming back
00:22:53.705 --> 00:22:55.741 align:start line:58% position:10% size:55%
and we are going home.
00:22:55.807 --> 00:22:57.476 align:start line:58% position:10% size:60%
Wouldn't it be wonderful
00:22:57.542 --> 00:22:59.377 align:start line:58% position:10% size:60%
to see so many children,
00:22:59.444 --> 00:23:01.179 align:start line:58% position:10% size:68%
faces from around the world
00:23:01.246 --> 00:23:04.082 align:start line:58% position:10% size:58%
who could say I am here
00:23:04.149 --> 00:23:06.184 align:start line:58% position:10% size:58%
because you reached out
00:23:06.251 --> 00:23:07.619 align:start line:58% position:10% size:38%
in Jesus' name?
00:23:07.686 --> 00:23:09.020 align:start line:58% position:10% size:58%
So please, would you go
00:23:09.087 --> 00:23:10.288 align:start line:58% position:10% size:35%
to your phone?
00:23:10.355 --> 00:23:11.556 align:start line:58% position:10% size:50%
Would you go online,
00:23:11.623 --> 00:23:13.859 align:start line:58% position:10% size:70%
would you just give the best
00:23:13.925 --> 00:23:15.861 align:start line:58% position:10% size:53%
gift that you can do,
00:23:15.927 --> 00:23:17.729 align:start line:58% position:10% size:68%
and let's change this world
00:23:17.796 --> 00:23:19.131 align:start line:58% position:10% size:38%
in Jesus' name?
00:23:19.197 --> 00:23:21.366 align:start line:58% position:10% size:60%
There are a lot of women
00:23:21.433 --> 00:23:23.502 align:start line:58% position:10% size:60%
on their knees right now
00:23:23.568 --> 00:23:26.171 align:start line:58% position:10% size:63%
in huts all across Africa
00:23:26.238 --> 00:23:27.806 align:start line:58% position:10% size:60%
saying God, can you hear
00:23:27.873 --> 00:23:29.407 align:start line:58% position:10% size:25%
my prayer?
00:23:29.474 --> 00:23:31.076 align:start line:58% position:10% size:48%
Let's be the answer
00:23:31.143 --> 00:23:32.444 align:start line:58% position:10% size:38%
to that prayer.
00:23:33.578 --> 00:23:36.815 align:start line:58% position:20% size:60%
Right now, across
the continent of Africa,
00:23:36.882 --> 00:23:39.284 align:center line:58% position:50% size:65%
children are suffering,
facing severe malnutrition
00:23:39.351 --> 00:23:41.353 align:center line:58% position:50% size:20%
and even
death.
00:23:41.419 --> 00:23:43.488 align:start line:10% position:25% size:48%
With food reserves
critically depleted
00:23:43.555 --> 00:23:46.658 align:center line:10% position:50% size:68%
and many areas experiencing
devastating famine,
00:23:46.725 --> 00:23:49.094 align:center line:10% position:50% size:53%
we urgently need
to replenish supplies
00:23:49.161 --> 00:23:52.364 align:center line:10% position:50% size:50%
to keep feeding
the 350,000 children
00:23:52.430 --> 00:23:55.200 align:center line:10% position:50% size:55%
who are counting on us

JOHN:
So I'm in Angola
00:25:55.186 --> 00:25:57.122 align:center line:53% position:50% size:48%
and we've been here
several days
00:25:57.188 --> 00:25:59.157 align:center line:53% position:50% size:50%
and we've discovered
the tremendous need
00:25:59.224 --> 00:26:01.626 align:center line:53% position:50% size:65%
with mothers who are still
losing their children
00:26:01.693 --> 00:26:03.795 align:center line:10% position:50% size:50%
because of the
devastating drought.
00:26:03.862 --> 00:26:05.797 align:start line:53% position:28% size:45%
But today
is a fabulous day.
00:26:05.864 --> 00:26:07.799 align:start line:53% position:33% size:35%
It is a day
of celebration
00:26:07.866 --> 00:26:10.001 align:center line:10% position:50% size:58%
because Mission Feeding
is in this village.
00:26:10.068 --> 00:26:13.004 align:start line:10% position:28% size:45%
Mission Feeding
is in this school.
00:26:13.071 --> 00:26:16.741 align:start line:10% position:15% size:68%
And as much as a great day
it is that we get to serve,
00:26:16.808 --> 00:26:19.110 align:center line:53% position:50% size:30%
I still have
in my mind
00:26:19.177 --> 00:26:21.680 align:center line:53% position:50% size:50%
every mother we have
talked to this week
00:26:21.746 --> 00:26:23.682 align:center line:58% position:50% size:48%
whose lost a child.
00:26:23.748 --> 00:26:26.351 align:start line:53% position:23% size:55%
And so I'm asking you,
do not delay.

00:26:39.998 --> 00:26:41.933 align:center line:10% position:50% size:40%
rather than days
of mourning
00:26:42.000 --> 00:26:44.836 align:center line:10% position:50% size:58%
where they're having
to bury their children.
00:26:45.837 --> 00:26:47.138 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
SHEILA: John, that's exactly
00:26:47.205 --> 00:26:48.673 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
why we are doing this!
00:26:48.740 --> 00:26:49.908 align:start line:63% position:10% size:45%
Thank you so much.
00:26:49.975 --> 00:26:50.976 align:start line:63% position:10% size:53%
That was so powerful!
00:26:51.042 --> 00:26:52.243 align:start line:63% position:10% size:50%
And to see that line
00:26:52.310 --> 00:26:53.478 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
of children with their
00:26:53.545 --> 00:26:56.848 align:start line:63% position:10% size:73%
little bowls, hope in a bowl,
00:26:56.915 --> 00:26:58.783 align:start line:63% position:10% size:35%
life in a bowl
00:26:58.850 --> 00:27:00.018 align:start line:63% position:10% size:58%
and it is only possible
00:27:00.085 --> 00:27:02.354 align:start line:63% position:10% size:73%
because we all join together.
00:27:02.420 --> 00:27:03.755 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
When you see those beautiful
00:27:03.822 --> 00:27:06.191 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
faces all lit up like that,
00:27:06.257 --> 00:27:07.192 align:start line:63% position:10% size:55%
that's the way a child
00:27:07.258 --> 00:27:08.226 align:start line:63% position:10% size:25%
should be.
00:27:08.293 --> 00:27:09.227 align:start line:63% position:10% size:60%
A child should be happy.
00:27:09.294 --> 00:27:10.395 align:start line:63% position:10% size:70%
They should be able to play.
00:27:10.462 --> 00:27:12.364 align:start line:63% position:10% size:40%
So let's deliver
00:27:12.430 --> 00:27:14.099 align:start line:63% position:10% size:40%
some hope today.
00:27:14.165 --> 00:27:15.200 align:start line:63% position:10% size:65%
If you haven't called yet,
00:27:15.266 --> 00:27:16.267 align:start line:63% position:10% size:25%
please do.
00:27:16.334 --> 00:27:18.036 align:start line:63% position:10% size:68%
