align:start line:58% position:50% size:75% They work so much harder than I do, you know, most of us do, 00:08:04.417 --> 00:08:07.120 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% just to get something to eat. 00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:09.823 align:start line:58% position:50% size:81% You know, they're taking their children to the clinics, they're 00:08:09.823 --> 00:08:12.559 align:start line:63% position:50% size:56% in critical condition. 00:08:12.559 --> 00:08:16.596 align:start line:58% position:44% size:78% And sometimes we don't have all of the supplies that I wish 00:08:16.596 --> 00:08:18.064 align:start line:63% position:48% size:18% we had. 00:08:18.064 --> 00:08:21.768 align:start line:58% position:47% size:53% We have to keep this funnel of life going. 00:08:21.768 --> 00:08:25.638 align:start line:58% position:45% size:73% And, you know, Blynda, when I look at the situation, I see 00:08:25.638 --> 00:08:30.176 align:start line:58% position:45% size:73% more than just the emergency, which it is, and it's kind of 00:08:30.176 --> 00:08:33.813 align:start line:58% position:50% size:65% this ongoing shifting in different areas emergency. 00:08:33.813 --> 00:08:38.885 align:start line:58% position:44% size:78% But I see it a little bit as an opportunity, if I could say it 00:08:38.885 --> 00:08:43.656 align:start line:58% position:50% size:70% that way, and maybe a little bit of a test, in a sense. 00:08:43.656 --> 00:08:45.024 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% Blynda: Randy, let me say this. 00:08:45.024 --> 00:08:46.760 align:start line:58% position:50% size:75% This is what I was--well, this is what I was thinking about 00:08:46.760 --> 00:08:50.363 align:start line:58% position:50% size:81% that I think is so interesting, is we all probably have had some 00:08:50.363 --> 00:08:52.565 align:start line:58% position:50% size:75% sort in our life where we've known about kind of a flash in 00:08:52.565 --> 00:08:56.069 align:start line:58% position:45% size:73% the pan something, a ministry here or something that here 00:08:56.069 --> 00:08:57.404 align:start line:63% position:47% size:53% today, gone tomorrow. 00:08:57.404 --> 00:09:00.707 align:start line:58% position:44% size:78% And I could not be sitting here today saying these things if I 00:09:00.707 --> 00:09:06.079 align:start line:58% position:50% size:81% didn't really fully understand that this is a ministry that has 00:09:06.079 --> 00:09:11.017 align:start line:58% position:50% size:65% existed for decades, doing the same work for decades. 00:09:11.017 --> 00:09:12.585 align:start line:63% position:50% size:65% And we even saw the video. 00:09:12.585 --> 00:09:16.423 align:start line:58% position:50% size:65% It goes all the way back to your dad and mom and to 00:09:16.423 --> 00:09:17.757 align:start line:63% position:50% size:41% the Pretoriuses. 00:09:17.757 --> 00:09:20.660 align:start line:58% position:50% size:75% What it shows, this is a ministry that you can put your 00:09:20.660 --> 00:09:22.028 align:start line:63% position:48% size:23% trust in. 00:09:22.028 --> 00:09:25.298 align:start line:58% position:50% size:75% This is a ministry that has been doing the work, doing the 00:09:25.298 --> 00:09:29.569 align:start line:58% position:50% size:81% faithful work of being the hands and feet of Jesus for decades, 00:09:29.569 --> 00:09:32.739 align:start line:58% position:45% size:73% and so because they've been faithful for decades, they're 00:09:32.739 --> 00:09:36.409 align:start line:58% position:50% size:81% going to continue being faithful for decades to continue 00:09:36.409 --> 00:09:37.777 align:start line:63% position:48% size:23% the work. 00:09:37.777 --> 00:09:39.245 align:start line:58% position:46% size:68% And I think that that right there, when you talk about 00:09:39.245 --> 00:09:42.315 align:start line:58% position:50% size:75% opportunity, the reason that it's an opportunity for people 00:09:42.315 --> 00:09:45.819 align:start line:58% position:50% size:81% today is because of the faithful work that your mom and dad and 00:09:45.819 --> 00:09:47.787 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% you have done for so many years. 00:09:47.787 --> 00:09:50.356 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% This is a good place to invest. 00:09:50.356 --> 00:09:53.460 align:start line:58% position:50% size:81% Randy: Well, and I appreciate that, and really that that's all 00:09:53.460 --> 00:09:55.061 align:start line:63% position:48% size:33% I care about. 00:09:55.061 --> 00:10:00.633 align:start line:58% position:50% size:81% I see the need and I say, "Lord, let me be a part of fulfilling 00:10:00.633 --> 00:10:01.968 align:start line:63% position:48% size:28% that need." 00:10:01.968 --> 00:10:04.404 align:start line:58% position:44% size:78% And to be able to come to you and show you these pictures and 00:10:04.404 --> 00:10:09.309 align:start line:58% position:50% size:81% show you these stories and these people, my only heart, and my 00:10:09.309 --> 00:10:14.514 align:start line:58% position:44% size:78% only goal, is that you would see them, I believe as God sees 00:10:14.514 --> 00:10:19.552 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% them, not as someone far away. 00:10:19.552 --> 00:10:22.655 align:start line:58% position:50% size:75% Many of these are our brothers and sisters in Christ. 00:10:22.655 --> 00:10:25.758 align:start line:58% position:44% size:78% You know, not as someone who is, "Well, it's too bad they're 00:10:25.758 --> 00:10:28.728 align:start line:58% position:44% size:78% there, you know, they're a product of their environment or 00:10:28.728 --> 00:10:33.466 align:start line:58% position:45% size:73% a failed government or whatever," but no, this is an 00:10:33.466 --> 00:10:38.605 align:start line:58% position:50% size:70% opportunity for us to be the hands and feet of Jesus. 00:10:38.605 --> 00:10:42.775 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% Watch this, and I think you'll get a real clear picture of the 00:10:42.775 --> 00:10:48.548 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% need, and how you can reach out in love and express God's heart, 00:10:48.548 --> 00:10:51.384 align:start line:63% position:47% size:63% the Father's heart, to them while meeting a very 00:10:51.384 --> 00:10:52.752 align:start line:69% position:48% size:38% practical need. 00:10:52.752 --> 00:10:54.721 align:start line:69% position:48% size:28% Watch this. 00:10:54.721 --> 00:10:58.057 align:start line:79% position:44% size:78% announcer: Rural health clinics in Africa serve as a lifeline 00:10:58.057 --> 00:11:01.294 align:start line:79% position:47% size:63% for children suffering from severe malnutrition. 00:11:01.294 --> 00:11:04.564 align:start line:79% position:44% size:78% These clinics provide emergency nutritional supplies, 00:11:04.564 --> 00:11:08.034 align:start line:79% position:46% size:68% therapeutic foods, and life-saving treatments that 00:11:08.034 --> 00:11:12.171 align:start line:79% position:50% size:75% restore a starving child's strength and saves their life. 00:11:12.171 --> 00:11:15.542 align:start line:79% position:50% size:65% But there is a crisis today, leaving many clinic 00:11:15.542 --> 00:11:17.410 align:start line:85% position:48% size:33% shelves bare. 00:11:17.410 --> 00:11:21.180 align:start line:79% position:44% size:78% John: We showed up at one of the clinics today where we were 00:11:21.180 --> 00:11:24.651 align:start line:79% position:50% size:75% supposed to be doing screening and handing out for children 00:11:24.651 --> 00:11:29.222 align:start line:79% position:44% size:78% that are--they're in the crisis mode, they're in danger, but 00:11:29.222 --> 00:11:31.658 align:start line:85% position:45% size:73% they're not hospitalized yet. 00:11:31.658 --> 00:11:35.929 align:start line:63% position:50% size:70% But unfortunately there's no aid to give, and so we are 00:11:35.929 --> 00:11:39.299 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% desperately needing your help to make sure that the Mission 00:11:39.299 --> 00:11:43.136 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% Feeding can continue on, that we can continue to support these 00:11:43.136 --> 00:11:46.573 align:start line:63% position:50% size:61% families, these mothers that work so diligently. 00:11:46.573 --> 00:11:53.146 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% Can you imagine this mama having to come 45 miles to a clinic 00:11:53.146 --> 00:11:58.351 align:start line:63% position:50% size:65% hoping to get aid, and there'd be none available? 00:11:58.351 --> 00:12:02.989 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% How defeating, how hopeless is that feeling for her, knowing 00:12:02.989 --> 00:12:06.359 align:start line:63% position:47% size:53% that her baby is days away from dying? 00:12:06.359 --> 00:12:11.297 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% We're the ones that have a responsibility to step into the 00:12:11.297 --> 00:12:15.101 align:start line:63% position:50% size:65% gap, and to bring hope and help to these mothers and 00:12:15.101 --> 00:12:17.337 align:start line:69% position:48% size:38% these children. 00:12:17.337 --> 00:12:20.239 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% announcer: With your help, we can provide Mission Feeding in 00:12:20.239 --> 00:12:23.376 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% villages before a mother would need to bring their child to a 00:12:23.376 --> 00:12:25.244 align:start line:69% position:50% size:50% malnutrition clinic. 00:12:25.244 --> 00:12:28.748 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% But for those children in need of emergency care, it is 00:12:28.748 --> 00:12:30.984 align:start line:63% position:50% size:61% critical that we provide clinics with these 00:12:30.984 --> 00:12:32.518 align:start line:69% position:50% size:61% nutritional supplements. 00:12:32.518 --> 00:12:36.189 align:start line:63% position:50% size:70% It could mean the difference between life and death. 00:12:36.189 --> 00:12:38.191 align:start line:69% position:47% size:58% The time to act is now. 00:12:38.191 --> 00:12:43.429 align:start line:85% position:48% size:18% [music] 00:12:43.429 --> 00:12:44.764 align:start line:69% position:50% size:56% Randy: There's a need. 00:12:44.764 --> 00:12:48.635 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% It couldn't be any clearer, and Blynda, the only way that I can 00:12:48.635 --> 00:12:52.105 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% get through something like that, watching that, going these 00:12:52.105 --> 00:12:56.876 align:start line:63% position:50% size:70% places, seeing that kind of pain, the only way is that I 00:12:56.876 --> 00:12:59.712 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% know we can make a difference, we can fill that need. 00:12:59.712 --> 00:13:01.047 align:start line:69% position:48% size:38% Blynda: I know. 00:13:01.047 --> 00:13:05.018 align:start line:58% position:50% size:81% I think of Proverbs, it says, "He who is generous to the needy 00:13:05.018 --> 00:13:06.386 align:start line:63% position:50% size:41% gives unto God." 00:13:06.386 --> 00:13:09.822 align:start line:58% position:44% size:78% Randy: "Lends unto God" in some translations, which means God, 00:13:09.822 --> 00:13:11.157 align:start line:63% position:47% size:58% what is the rest of it? 00:13:11.157 --> 00:13:12.525 align:start line:63% position:47% size:53% "He will repay them." 00:13:12.525 --> 00:13:13.860 align:start line:63% position:50% size:45% Blynda: He repays. 00:13:13.860 --> 00:13:16.262 align:start line:58% position:50% size:70% And it's just so precious to think that I, just little me 00:13:16.262 --> 00:13:19.832 align:start line:58% position:46% size:68% here, I live in Texas, you know, I could do something. 00:13:19.832 --> 00:13:23.102 align:start line:58% position:46% size:68% The generosity of my heart actually would save a life. 00:13:23.102 --> 00:13:26.406 align:start line:58% position:44% size:78% Like, I don't know if we always think of it in that way, that 00:13:26.406 --> 00:13:31.477 align:start line:58% position:50% size:81% we're saving a life with every dollar that we give, but we are. 00:13:31.477 --> 00:13:35.682 align:start line:58% position:50% size:75% This is a place where the need is so great, which means what 00:13:35.682 --> 00:13:38.751 align:start line:58% position:48% size:48% you give makes such a great difference. 00:13:38.751 --> 00:13:40.787 align:start line:58% position:45% size:73% Randy: Yeah, and you know, we have these bowls right here. 00:13:40.787 --> 00:13:42.188 align:start line:58% position:50% size:45% Blynda: I know, these are so cool. 00:13:42.188 --> 00:13:44.457 align:start line:58% position:45% size:73% Randy: Well, and this is a product, again, of people who 00:13:44.457 --> 00:13:46.926 align:start line:58% position:50% size:75% have watched the program and said that, you know, give them 00:13:46.926 --> 00:13:48.828 align:start line:58% position:50% size:75% something to put the hot soup in because literally, children 00:13:48.828 --> 00:13:50.163 align:start line:63% position:48% size:38% would come up-- 00:13:50.163 --> 00:13:51.497 align:start line:58% position:48% size:48% Blynda: Didn't you tell me that they-- 00:13:51.497 --> 00:13:52.965 align:start line:58% position:44% size:78% Randy: They would come up with tin cans and plastic bags. 00:13:52.965 --> 00:13:54.300 align:start line:63% position:48% size:38% I've seen that. 00:13:54.300 --> 00:13:55.635 align:start line:58% position:50% size:70% Blynda: And it would burn their--I mean, they couldn't 00:13:55.635 --> 00:13:56.969 align:start line:58% position:50% size:56% even hold it, it would burn their hands. 00:13:56.969 --> 00:13:58.304 align:start line:58% position:48% size:48% Randy: Right, yeah, it doesn't work. 00:13:58.304 --> 00:14:01.774 align:start line:58% position:44% size:78% So, but more importantly, every time food goes into this bowl, 00:14:01.774 --> 00:14:07.146 align:start line:58% position:44% size:78% every time a child receives it, walks away, sits down, takes a 00:14:07.146 --> 00:14:12.552 align:start line:58% position:50% size:81% fork, or more often than not, a leaf, and eats that food, that's 00:14:12.552 --> 00:14:15.321 align:start line:58% position:47% size:58% their meal for the day, sometimes the only meal 00:14:15.321 --> 00:14:16.656 align:start line:63% position:48% size:23% they get. 00:14:16.656 --> 00:14:21.160 align:start line:58% position:44% size:78% But every bit of food that goes into a bowl has been put there 00:14:21.160 --> 00:14:23.730 align:start line:58% position:50% size:45% because of someone just like you. 00:14:23.730 --> 00:14:28.501 align:start line:58% position:47% size:63% That's the power you have to fill a desperate need. 00:14:28.501 --> 00:14:31.504 align:start line:58% position:50% size:81% And so when we come to you and we say, "Look, okay, here's sort 00:14:31.504 --> 00:14:36.542 align:start line:58% position:50% size:81% of the breakdown of the cost and our role in Mission Feeding, $30 00:14:36.542 --> 00:14:38.745 align:start line:58% position:47% size:63% will help feed 3 children for several months." 00:14:38.745 --> 00:14:41.514 align:start line:58% position:48% size:48% And there's a lot of factors in that. 00:14:41.514 --> 00:14:45.785 align:start line:58% position:50% size:81% But when we look at the overall, the budget and the impact over 00:14:45.785 --> 00:14:48.621 align:start line:58% position:50% size:75% the decades, as Blynda alluded to, that we've been doing 00:14:48.621 --> 00:14:53.025 align:start line:58% position:50% size:75% Mission Feeding, we can say that $50 will feed 5 children. 00:14:53.025 --> 00:14:55.161 align:start line:58% position:50% size:70% It'll help feed 5 children for the next several months, 00:14:55.161 --> 00:14:59.766 align:start line:58% position:47% size:53% $100, 10 children, $1,000, 100 children. 00:14:59.766 --> 00:15:03.903 align:start line:58% position:44% size:78% Some of our viewers who are in a position to give large, large 00:15:03.903 --> 00:15:09.108 align:start line:58% position:45% size:73% gifts have had such a huge impact that it's difficult to 00:15:09.108 -->

Life Outreach International. 00:17:38.357 --> 00:17:42.795 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% I'm here in Angola this week with our team as we have been 00:17:42.795 --> 00:17:46.999 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% documenting the cases of crisis throughout the region. 00:17:46.999 --> 00:17:52.972 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% We, at times, hire interpreters to go with our video team. 00:17:52.972 --> 00:17:57.143 align:start line:63% position:50% size:70% Today I have with me Emilio, who is a professional 00:17:57.143 --> 00:17:58.511

together, there was kind of a 00:18:09.322 --> 00:18:11.057 align:start line:69% position:48% size:33% "wow" moment. 00:18:11.057 --> 00:18:14.527 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% Both of you kind of had the same experience, but I wanted you to 00:18:14.527 --> 00:18:19.432 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% hear it from someone firsthand who's experienced the benefit of 00:18:19.432 --> 00:18:21.434 align:start line:69% position:50% size:41% Mission Feeding. 00:19:16.555 --> 00:19:20.726 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% John: So let me say on behalf of all of the friends of Life 00:19:20.726 --> 00:19:25.531 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% Outreach, it was a great honor to be a blessing to your family. 00:19:25.531 --> 00:19:28.034 align:start line:69% position:45% size:73% It's easy to start something. 00:19:28.034 --> 00:19:31.937 align:start line:63% position:46% size:68% It's a completely different thing to go the distance. 00:19:31.937 --> 00:19:35.975 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% And as you continue to provide, we will continue to serve. 00:19:35.975 --> 00:19:40.613 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% Our mission teams are in place to minister to these that are in 00:19:40.613 --> 00:19:42.715 align:start line:69% position:50% size:56% the most remote areas. 00:19:42.715 --> 00:19:46.318 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% There is still a desperate need in this country and many 00:19:46.318 --> 00:19:49.321 align:start line:63% position:50% size:50% countries across the continent of Africa. 00:19:49.321 --> 00:19:53.459 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% We have been working to see the light of Jesus shine in people's 00:19:53.459 --> 00:19:58.030 align:start line:63% position:50% size:56% lives, not only in word but also in deed. 00:19:58.030 --> 00:20:04.837 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% So thank you for being a part of what we do with Mission Feeding. 00:20:04.837 --> 00:20:08.941 align:start line:58% position:50% size:65% Randy: And there it is, the impact of generations. 00:20:08.941 --> 00:20:12.111 align:start line:58% position:44% size:78% Now, those who were helped when they were children are giving 00:20:12.111 --> 00:20:14.246 align:start line:63% position:47% size:58% back to children today. 00:20:14.246 --> 00:20:17.683 align:start line:58% position:50% size:75% So as Peter Pretorius told me all those years ago, this will 00:20:17.683 --> 00:20:19.018 align:start line:63% position:48% size:43% take generations. 00:20:19.018 --> 00:20:20.453 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% We're in it for the long haul. 00:20:20.453 --> 00:20:21.821 align:start line:63% position:50% size:56% We're committed to it. 00:20:21.821 --> 00:20:25.458 align:start line:58% position:44% size:78% We are committed to continuing to go into emergency areas with 00:20:25.458 --> 00:20:29.695 align:start line:58% position:50% size:70% that food that's desperately needed, to stabilizing the 00:20:29.695 --> 00:20:32.498 align:start line:58% position:44% size:78% children so that they can have a career, so that they can take 00:20:32.498 --> 00:20:37.369 align:start line:58% position:50% size:75% care of their own families, to improve the economic and the 00:20:37.369 --> 00:20:43.576 align:start line:58% position:50% size:75% social situation, all with the name of Jesus Christ firmly 00:20:43.576 --> 00:20:44.944 align:start line:63% position:48% size:38% pinned to that. 00:20:44.944 --> 00:20:49.648 align:start line:58% position:50% size:61% We minister wherever we go, in word and in deed. 00:20:49.648 --> 00:20:53.018 align:start line:58% position:50% size:45% Blynda, I view that as a success. 00:20:53.018 --> 00:20:56.222 align:start line:58% position:50% size:81% Even though we feel like we're not finished, we're seeing these 00:20:56.222 --> 00:20:57.556 align:start line:63% position:50% size:61% successes along the way. 00:20:57.556 --> 00:20:59.024 align:start line:58% position:50% size:75% Blynda: And I think it's important that we take time to 00:20:59.024 --> 00:21:01.527 align:start line:58% position:44% size:78% say thank you, God, for the lives that we have been able to 00:21:01.527 --> 00:21:05.698 align:start line:58% position:45% size:73% save, but God, please give us the strength to continue the 00:21:05.698 --> 00:21:07.833 align:start line:63% position:50% size:61% work that we need to do. 00:21:07.833 --> 00:21:11.904 align:start line:58% position:50% size:75% When I saw that video, and it kind of went back in time, and 00:21:11.904 --> 00:21:14.540 align:start line:58% position:44% size:78% it was your dad and Peter and there was a line of kids behind 00:21:14.540 --> 00:21:17.343 align:start line:58% position:50% size:70% him, and I had a thought of, I mean, that could have been 00:21:17.343 --> 00:21:19.111 align:start line:58% position:50% size:50% Ermelinda and Emilio right back there. 00:21:19.111 --> 00:21:22.214 align:start line:58% position:50% size:70% I mean, that's--to see them sitting in those chairs, and 00:21:22.214 --> 00:21:24.917 align:start line:58% position:45% size:73% this is the other thing I thought about, Randy, is that 00:21:24.917 --> 00:21:28.254 align:start line:58% position:50% size:70% the layered effects when you feed a child and keep them 00:21:28.254 --> 00:21:30.823 align:start line:58% position:45% size:73% alive, these are not--he was, I think Emilio said he was 00:21:30.823 --> 00:21:32.158 align:start line:63% position:50% size:31% a professor. 00:21:32.158 --> 00:21:33.526 align:start line:63% position:50% size:50% Or he's an educator. 00:21:33.526 --> 00:21:35.761 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% So he's got gotten an education. 00:21:35.761 --> 00:21:38.264 align:start line:58% position:50% size:75% So it wasn't just, "Let's keep them alive, let's just feed 00:21:38.264 --> 00:21:42.301 align:start line:58% position:50% size:81% them," they actually became real productive members of society by 00:21:42.301 --> 00:21:44.503 align:start line:58% position:50% size:50% doing--by the little that they got. 00:21:44.503 --> 00:21:45.871 align:start line:63% position:50% size:65% I mean, it's just amazing. 00:21:45.871 --> 00:21:47.206 align:start line:63% position:46% size:68% The whole thing is amazing. 00:21:47.206 --> 00:21:49.475 align:start line:58% position:44% size:78% Randy: Yeah, the phrase to give them a hope and a future comes 00:21:49.475 --> 00:21:52.645 align:start line:58% position:46% size:68% to mind, and I think that's the heart of God, right? 00:21:52.645 --> 00:21:55.714 align:start line:58% position:45% size:73% So when we do this, yeah, and I've seen children who became 00:21:55.714 --> 00:22:01.353 align:start line:58% position:46% size:68% lawyers, doctors, you know, police officers, ministers, 00:22:01.353 --> 00:22:02.721 align:start line:63% position:48% size:23% you know? 00:22:02.721 --> 00:22:04.056 align:start line:63% position:47% size:58% There's so many things. 00:22:04.056 --> 00:22:06.525 align:start line:58% position:50% size:70% You just--you don't know the endless possibilities, and 00:22:06.525 --> 00:22:07.893 align:start line:63% position:50% size:31% that's okay. 00:22:07.893 --> 00:22:09.228 align:start line:63% position:48% size:23% God does. 00:22:09.228 --> 00:22:10.596 align:start line:63% position:48% size:43% So what do we do? 00:22:10.596 --> 00:22:13.199 align:start line:58% position:50% size:50% Our role, I believe, is obedience. 00:22:13.199 --> 00:22:17.203 align:start line:58% position:45% size:73% You know, when we see that need, don't forsake the poor. 00:22:17.203 --> 00:22:20.906 align:start line:58% position:45% size:73% When you think about when Paul went to the apostles and 00:22:20.906 --> 00:22:23.509 align:start line:58% position:50% size:81% confirmed the gospel after preaching it for years and they, 00:22:23.509 --> 00:22:27.913 align:start line:58% position:44% size:78% they affirmed the core gospel tenets of Jesus, his birth, his 00:22:27.913 --> 00:22:30.616 align:start line:58% position:50% size:65% death, his resurrection, and then they go, "Oh, one 00:22:30.616 --> 00:22:31.984 align:start line:63% position:50% size:31% more thing." 00:22:31.984 --> 00:22:33.919 align:start line:58% position:47% size:58% They go, "What would you add to the gospel?" 00:22:33.919 --> 00:22:38.490 align:start line:58% position:50% size:65% And the apostles say to Paul, "Remember the poor." 00:22:38.490 --> 00:22:40.526 align:start line:58% position:47% size:53% And Paul says, "I was glad to do that." 00:22:40.526 --> 00:22:45.264 align:start line:58% position:50% size:81% I want us to be glad to do that, because it is following the way 00:22:45.264 --> 00:22:49.635 align:start line:58% position:44% size:78% of our master Jesus Christ to take care of the poor, to reach 00:22:49.635 --> 00:22:54.240 align:start line:58% position:47% size:63% out, to show them that love in word and in deed. 00:22:54.240 --> 00:22:57.042 align:start line:58% position:46% size:68% And to me, Mission Feeding, it checks all those boxes. 00:22:57.042 --> 00:22:59.445 align:start line:58% position:50% size:70% Blynda: It does, and I think it's important to remind the 00:22:59.445 --> 00:23:04.750 align:start line:58% position:44% size:78% viewers that part of the reason why the supply is low is things 00:23:04.750 --> 00:23:06.085 align:start line:63% position:47% size:53% out of their control. 00:23:06.085 --> 00:23:08.954 align:start line:58% position:50% size:45% It's drought, it's depleted crops. 00:23:08.954 --> 00:23:11.323 align:start line:58% position:50% size:70% Some of it's just completely out of their control, and 00:23:11.323 --> 00:23:12.791 align:start line:63% position:50% size:45% they're desperate. 00:23:12.791 --> 00:23:15.594 align:start line:58% position:46% size:68% It puts them in a desperate situation, because there's 00:23:15.594 --> 00:23:16.929 align:start line:63% position:50% size:50% nothing they can do. 00:23:16.929 --> 00:23:19.865 align:start line:58% position:46% size:68% They are completely reliant on what is given to them. 00:23:19.865 --> 00:23:23.002 align:start line:58% position:50% size:70% Randy: Yeah, and even global situations, you know? 00:23:23.002 --> 00:23:25.771 align:start line:58% position:50% size:70% When something happens and our gas prices go up, we all 00:23:25.771 --> 00:23:27.640 align:start line:58% position:50% size:70% complain a little bit, or we just pay a little more at 00:23:27.640 --> 00:23:28.974 align:start line:63% position:48% size:23% the pump. 00:23:28.974 --> 00:23:30.342 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% Blynda: Life kind of goes on. 00:23:30.342
