size:81% People would look at you and go, "Oh man, that guy's have 00:02:10.030 --> 00:02:11.698 align:start line:85% position:50% size:41% been successful. 00:02:11.698 --> 00:02:13.033 align:start

00:02:18.939 align:start line:79% position:50% size:75% out, it's got kind of an older song that people know called, 00:02:18.939 --> 00:02:21.308 align:start line:85% position:48% size:48% "Through the Fire." 00:02:21.308 --> 00:02:23.477 align:start line:79% position:50% size:61% What is that song about, because that's, 00:02:23.477 --> 00:02:24.811 align:start line:85% position:50% size:56% you know, a tough one. 00:02:24.811 --> 00:02:28.615 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% Jason: Well, that song has been a staple for my family through 00:02:28.615 --> 00:02:30.317 align:start line:69% position:50% size:25% the years. 00:02:30.317 --> 00:02:32.352 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% My family traveled and that's where I started. 00:02:32.352 --> 00:02:36.456 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% I started out with my siblings, and we all jumped out on the 00:02:36.456 --> 00:02:38.992 align:start line:79% position:50% size:70% road with our parents and so we took off 00:02:38.992 --> 00:02:41.528 align:start line:85% position:47% size:63% and had a wonderful time. 00:02:41.528 --> 00:02:46.233 align:start line:79% position:50% size:81% My dad wrote this song and it touched a lot of people's lives. 00:02:46.233 --> 00:02:49.870 align:start line:79% position:50% size:81% I didn't know when I recorded it in the studio that it was gonna 00:02:49.870 --> 00:02:55.042 align:start line:79% position:50% size:61% do and mean so much to a lot of different people. 00:02:55.042 --> 00:03:00.280 align:start line:79% position:50% size:75% Had no clue it was going to be really hitting me and my wife. 00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:03.483 align:start line:79% position:50% size:75% My wife and I went through two miscarriages back to back when 00:03:03.483 --> 00:03:05.185 align:start line:85% position:48% size:48% that song came out. 00:03:05.185 --> 00:03:06.953 align:start line:79% position:47% size:58% I'm up on stage singing this song. 00:03:06.953 --> 00:03:09.856 align:start line:79% position:50% size:81% People are coming up and telling me this is what, you know, this 00:03:09.856 --> 00:03:11.625 align:start line:85% position:48% size:38% is what I need. 00:03:11.625 --> 00:03:15.629 align:start line:79% position:50% size:75% I remember many a nights going to the bus and my wife, I'd go 00:03:15.629 --> 00:03:18.265 align:start line:79% position:50% size:75% to the bus and she'd be crying she'd go--just going, "I don't 00:03:18.265 --> 00:03:19.966 align:start line:85% position:48% size:38% understand it." 00:03:19.966 --> 00:03:22.736 align:start line:79% position:50% size:56% And I said, "God's got perfect timing. 00:03:22.736 --> 00:03:24.905 align:start line:79% position:50% size:65% We'll figure this out, you know," and I'm full 00:03:24.905 --> 00:03:26.740 align:start line:85% position:48% size:33% of questions. 00:03:26.740 --> 00:03:31.378 align:start line:79% position:50% size:81% Then we had our first child and I remember the moment that I got 00:03:31.378 --> 00:03:37.918 align:start line:85% position:45% size:73% to hand Ashley to her mother. 00:03:37.918 --> 00:03:42.355 align:start line:79% position:44% size:78% It was the most heavenly moment that I've ever experienced 00:03:42.355 --> 00:03:43.723 align:start line:85% position:48% size:23% on earth. 00:03:43.723 --> 00:03:46.726 align:start line:79% position:46% size:68% Now I still sing that song, night after night. 00:03:46.726 --> 00:03:50.330 align:start line:79% position:45% size:73% I know what it's like singing it, going through the fire. 00:03:50.330 --> 00:03:54.701 align:start line:79% position:50% size:75% But I also know what it's like to stand on stage and sing it 00:03:54.701 --> 00:03:57.471 align:start line:85% position:50% size:50% now with my victory. 00:03:57.471 --> 00:04:00.140 align:start line:79% position:44% size:78% Randy: Why do you think in retrospect, having been through 00:04:00.140 --> 00:04:04.711 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% the fire personally, you know, why do you think we have to go 00:04:04.711 --> 00:04:06.046 align:start line:69% position:47% size:53% through these things? 00:04:06.046 --> 00:04:07.414 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% There's a lot of people, obviously people hear the song 00:04:07.414 --> 00:04:10.117 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% and tell you how much it means to them or meant to them, 00:04:10.117 --> 00:04:12.219 align:start line:63% position:47% size:58% they've been through it or they're in it. 00:04:12.219 --> 00:04:14.721 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% And I mean, do you wrestle with that question of why, why do 00:04:14.721 --> 00:04:17.958 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% good people, why do Christians, God-loving people, go through 00:04:17.958 --> 00:04:19.659 align:start line:69% position:50% size:45% such tough things? 00:04:19.659 --> 00:04:24.064 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% Jason: I think we're not kept from those things. 00:04:24.064 --> 00:04:28.702 align:start line:63% position:46% size:68% Sometimes I think--I tell people I don't believe that 00:04:28.702 --> 00:04:30.937 align:start line:69% position:50% size:81% that's what God intended for us. 00:04:30.937 --> 00:04:36.209 align:start line:79% position:50% size:81% I think he turns them and helps, and I was just talking backstage 00:04:36.209 --> 00:04:40.046 align:start line:79% position:50% size:81% just a little bit ago, you know, I feel like for the first time 00:04:40.046 --> 00:04:47.654 align:start line:79% position:50% size:81% in my life I'm at a spot in life to be able to minister and to 00:04:47.654 --> 00:04:54.094 align:start line:79% position:50% size:81% speak in such an honest place and I think it's because of, you 00:04:54.094 --> 00:04:57.898 align:start line:79% position:50% size:65% know, wounds that were not self-inflicted, also 00:04:57.898 --> 00:05:01.134 align:start line:79% position:45% size:73% self-inflicted wounds, which those are the hardest ones to 00:05:01.134 --> 00:05:07.440 align:start line:79% position:47% size:53% get over but through life situations, bad, 00:05:07.440 --> 00:05:12.445 align:start line:79% position:50% size:65% disappointments, you know, just a lot of things. 00:05:12.445 --> 00:05:17.551 align:start line:79% position:50% size:81% But I think the Lord takes those things and molds them and helps 00:05:17.551 --> 00:05:21.021 align:start line:79% position:50% size:75% you help others, so we are overcomers by the blood of the 00:05:21.021 --> 00:05:23.890 align:start line:79% position:50% size:61% Lamb and the word of our testimony. 00:05:23.890 --> 00:05:25.692 align:start line:79% position:46% size:68% I think it's a piece of our testimony. 00:05:25.692 --> 00:05:28.995 align:start line:79% position:44% size:78% Blynda: I think in John when it says: "In this world you will 00:05:28.995 --> 00:05:32.599 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% have trouble but take heart I have overcome the world," I 00:05:32.599 --> 00:05:37.037 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% think sometimes believers get a little disillusioned that, you 00:05:37.037 --> 00:05:39.606 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% know, they might be checking all the boxes, doing everything 00:05:39.606 --> 00:05:43.877 align:start line:79% position:50% size:81% right and yet part of life feels like it's falling apart and I 00:05:43.877 --> 00:05:46.613 align:start line:79% position:50% size:81% think that can sometimes kind of put them on their back, like, I 00:05:46.613 --> 00:05:50.417 align:start line:79% position:44% size:78% don't understand why this would be happening to me because I'm 00:05:50.417 --> 00:05:51.751 align:start line:85% position:48% size:48% following the Lord. 00:05:51.751 --> 00:05:55.322 align:start line:79% position:50% size:81% And you, I mean, that's a little bit of how you--your faith 00:05:55.322 --> 00:05:59.559 align:start line:79% position:45% size:73% probably became very real to you, not in the middle of it, 00:05:59.559 --> 00:06:02.262 align:start line:79% position:47% size:63% but when you saw God take you through it. 00:06:02.262 --> 00:06:05.999 align:start line:79% position:44% size:78% How did it change how you saw your relationship with the Lord 00:06:05.999 --> 00:06:08.468 align:start line:79% position:50% size:81% and how you walked out your faith because you said it's much 00:06:08.468 --> 00:06:10.170 align:start line:85% position:50% size:41% more honest now? 00:06:10.170 --> 00:06:15.308 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% Jason: It is, and I think you said the key thing, "through." 00:06:15.308 --> 00:06:18.044 align:start line:63% position:45% size:73% Nowhere does it say he's just gonna pluck you out of that 00:06:18.044 --> 00:06:22.249 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% situation, but he said he'd be with you and he'd walk with you 00:06:22.249 --> 00:06:25.185 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% and he'd be a friend that sticks closer than a brother. 00:06:25.185 --> 00:06:26.553 align:start line:85% position:50% size:70% He'll give you the strength. 00:06:26.553 --> 00:06:29.522 align:start line:79% position:45% size:73% His mercies are made new each and every morning. 00:06:29.522 --> 00:06:31.625 align:start line:85% position:45% size:73% I think that that's the deal. 00:06:31.625 --> 00:06:34.794 align:start line:79% position:50% size:81% He's going to give you the strength to get through and he's 00:06:34.794 --> 00:06:36.162 align:start line:85% position:48% size:43% more than enough. 00:06:36.162 --> 00:06:39.633 align:start line:79% position:47% size:63% And you just hold on, as the song says, "Hold on." 00:06:39.633 --> 00:06:41.001 align:start line:85% position:47% size:63% Our Lord's gonna show up. 00:06:41.001 --> 00:06:42.369 align:start line:85% position:47% size:58% He'll take you through. 00:06:42.369 --> 00:06:45.639 align:start line:79% position:44% size:78% Randy: Yeah, and I think the hold on, it--that's a key point 00:06:45.639 --> 00:06:48.408 align:start line:79% position:50% size:75% because I think you and I both know people that have hit that 00:06:48.408 --> 00:06:51.845 align:start line:79% position:44% size:78% fire, they've hit that hard time, that disappointment, that 00:06:51.845 --> 00:06:55.615 align:start line:79% position:47% size:58% loss, and they've said, "I'm out. 00:06:55.615 --> 00:07:01.021 align:start line:79% position:45% size:73% Like, God must not be real or I don't wanna--" whatever. 00:07:01.021 --> 00:07:04.124 align:start line:79% position:47% size:53% And that's tough because you're right. 00:07:04.124 --> 00:07:07.594 align:start line:79% position:47% size:63% If you will just hold on, God will see you through. 00:07:07.594 --> 00:07:13.733 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% Jason: My spiritual hero was my grandmother, my spiritual hero. 00:07:13.733 --> 00:07:17.137 align:start line:63% position:47% size:58% She--one day I was just on the bus. 00:07:17.137 --> 00:07:18.471 align:start line:69% position:48% size:43% I was frustrated. 00:07:18.471 --> 00:07:21.374 align:start line:85% position:50% size:70% I was just at the end of it. 00:07:21.374 --> 00:07:23.310 align:start line:79% position:45% size:73% I really--and I couldn't make sense of it. 00:07:23.310 --> 00:07:25.345 align:start line:79% position:47% size:53% I felt like everybody was against me. 00:07:25.345 --> 00:07:27.080 align:start line:85% position:50% size:50% Nothing was working. 00:07:27.080 --> 00:07:29.916 align:start line:79% position:44% size:78% I'm like--so I had my phone and I'm going through it and I'm 00:07:29.916 --> 00:07:33.553 align:start line:79% position:50% size:65% going, "Who am I gonna--I need to talk to somebody." 00:07:33.553 --> 00:07:37.090 align:start line:79% position:47% size:58% And I didn't know who I could trust, you know? 00:07:37.090 --> 00:07:41.695 align:start line:79% position:50% size:81% And I'm just going, "I just need to hear--" And I saw my 00:07:41.695 --> 00:07:44.764 align:start line:79% position:44% size:78% grandmother and I hit that, and she goes--and she's just this 00:07:44.764 --> 00:07:48.735 align:start line:79% position:50% size:65% big old long country draw, "Jase?" 00:07:48.735 --> 00:07:51.304 align:start line:79% position:45% size:73% You know, that's exactly what she said, like, she goes, 00:07:51.304 --> 00:07:52.639 align:start line:85% position:48% size:28% "That you?" 00:07:52.639 --> 00:07:53.973 align:start line:85% position:46% size:68% And I said, "Yes, it's me." 00:07:53.973 --> 00:07:55.342 align:start line:85% position:47% size:63% She goes, "What's wrong?" 00:07:55.342 --> 00:07:58.011 align:start line:79% position:45% size:73% And I said, "Well," I said, "I just need to talk to you." 00:07:58.011 --> 00:08:01.381 align:start line:79% position:50% size:81% She goes, "Let me tell you," she said, "when you get to the end 00:08:01.381 --> 00:08:05.218 align:start line:79% position:50% size:81% of your rope," she said, "honey, you just tie a great big old 00:08:05.218 --> 00:08:09.556 align:start line:79% position:44% size:78% knot in it and hold on with all your might," she said. 00:08:09.556 --> 00:08:13.159 align:start line:79% position:50% size:75% "But while you're holding on, you gotta know he's got a hold 00:08:13.159 --> 00:08:14.861 align:start line:85% position:50% size:21% of you." 00:08:14.861 --> 00:08:16.196 align:start line:85% position:47% size:58% Blynda: That's amazing. 00:08:16.196 --> 00:08:18.765 align:start line:79% position:50% size:81% Jason: While you're holding on, because we need something to do, 00:08:18.765 --> 00:08:20.934 align:start line:85% position:48% size:33% right, right? 00:08:20.934 --> 00:08:25.839 align:start line:79% position:50% size:70% While we're holding on, just know he's got a hold of you. 00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:28.942 align:start line:79% position:48% size:48% When she said that, she prayed for me. 00:08:28.942 --> 00:08:30.310 align:start line:85% position:48% size:48% It was real simple. 00:08:30.310 --> 00:08:33.346 align:start line:79% position:45% size:73% She goes, "Lord, I don't even know what I need to pray for 00:08:33.346 --> 00:08:36.116 align:start line:79% position:45% size:73% him, but you know," and then, you know what I mean? 00:08:36.116 --> 00:08:38.685 align:start line:79% position:50% size:61% And that was kind of her honest prayer. 00:08:38.685 --> 00:08:40.153 align:start line:79% position:50% size:75% That's what I'm talking about, that honesty. 00:08:40.153 --> 00:08:41.821 align:start line:79% position:50% size:75% Blynda: I think I'd love those honest prayers. 00:08:41.821 --> 00:08:46.159 align:start line:79% position:50% size:75% Jason: And so when we hung up, I said, "D'you know," I said, 00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:47.494 align:start line:85% position:48% size:33% "that helped. 00:08:47.494 --> 00:08:50.063 align:start line:79% position:45% size:73% I, you know what, it's just-- it was an honest answer." 00:08:50.063 --> 00:08:54.033 align:start line:79% position:45% size:73% And then I realized it wasn't everybody else around me. 00:08:54.033 --> 00:08:58.204 align:start line:85% position:50% size:35% It was me, so. 00:08:58.204 --> 00:09:00.240 align:start line:79% position:50% size:65% Blynda: Wow, that's really powerful. 00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:03.643 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% I wanna ask you about a line in a song because I think sometimes 00:09:03.643 --> 00:09:07.814 align:start line:63% position:44% size:78% when people are going through a fire, I think one of the things 00:09:07.814 --> 00:09:10.950 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% that's hard about that is they don't know how long they're 00:09:10.950 --> 00:09:15.188 align:start line:79% position:50% size:81% going to be in that season and in the lyric from the song says, 00:09:15.188 --> 00:09:18.191 align:start line:79% position:44% size:78% "He never offered our victories without fighting, but he said 00:09:18.191 --> 00:09:21.795 align:start line:85% position:50% size:81% help would always come in time." 00:09:21.795 --> 00:09:25.298 align:start line:79% position:50% size:81% Talk about that time piece because I know for me, like, any 00:09:25.298 --> 00:09:28.401 align:start line:79% position:46% size:68% time I've been in a season that's been hard, I'm like, 00:09:28.401 --> 00:09:31.304 align:start line:79% position:50% size:75% "God, I trust you but how long do I have to wait for 00:09:31.304 --> 00:09:32.639 align:start line:85% position:48% size:33% your answer?" 00:09:32.639 --> 00:09:37.076 align:start line:63% position:50% size:75% Jason: You have to know this that God will not allow you to 00:09:37.076 --> 00:09:42.081 align:start line:63% position:50% size:61% stay in something longer than you can handle. 00:09:42.081 --> 00:09:44.751 align:start line:63% position:47% size:53% He said in his Word, he sits as a refiner. 00:09:44.751 --> 00:09:46.085 align:start line:85% position:50% size:70% You remember that scripture? 00:09:46.085 --> 00:09:49.055 align:start line:79% position:44% size:78% He says he sits as a refiner, a silversmith, sits in front of a 00:09:49.055 --> 00:09:50.623 align:start line:85% position:47% size:53% fire, refiner's fire. 00:09:50.623 --> 00:09:52.892 align:start line:79% position:44% size:78% There was a lady that was reading that, actually a ladies 00:09:52.892 --> 00:09:55.428 align:start line:79% position:50% size:65% group that was reading it, and I heard the story. 00:09:55.428 --> 00:09:59.199 align:start line:79% position:50% size:75% She said, I wanted to find out what the silversmith had to go 00:09:59.199 --> 00:10:03.303 align:start line:79% position:50% size:70% through, and she said the silversmith would take a raw 00:10:03.303 --> 00:10:07.140 align:start line:79% position:45% size:73% piece of silver and put it in the hottest part of the fire, 00:10:07.140 --> 00:10:09.075 align:start line:85% position:50% size:81% and he's explaining this to her. 00:10:09.075 --> 00:10:11.611 align:start line:79% position:45% size:73% And she goes, "Well, how long do you know it's supposed to 00:10:11.611 --> 00:10:12.979 align:start line:85% position:48% size:23% be there? 00:10:12.979 --> 00:10:14.314 align:start line:85% position:47% size:53% Is it the same time?" 00:10:14.314 --> 00:10:19.352 align:start line:79% position:44% size:78% He goes, "Oh no, every piece of raw silver is different," and 00:10:19.352 --> 00:10:21.488 align:start line:85% position:50% size:45% this is the thing. 00:10:21.488 --> 00:10:23.690 align:start line:79% position:46% size:68% She goes, "Well, how do you know when it's done?" 00:10:23.690 --> 00:10:25.859 align:start line:85% position:44% size:78% He said, "That's the easy part. 00:10:25.859 --> 00:10:30.330 align:start line:79% position:45% size:73% When I look at it and see my reflection in it, I know that 00:10:30.330 --> 00:10:32.532 align:start line:85% position:50% size:65% it's at its purest place." 00:10:32.532 --> 00:10:38.471 align:start line:79% position:44% size:78% So God will not allow you to go further than you can handle. 00:10:38.471 --> 00:10:43.042 align:start line:79% position:44% size:78% But after you have been through it, I think that that's, you 00:10:43.042 --> 00:10:47.013 align:start line:79% position:50% size:70% know, when you can be that testimony: we're overcomers, 00:10:47.013 --> 00:10:48.348 align:start line:85% position:48% size:23% you know? 00:10:48.348 --> 00:10:49.716 align:start line:85% position:50% size:70% Blynda: And isn't that true? 00:10:49.716 --> 00:10:51.551 align:start line:79% position:44% size:78% I mean, every--everything that we're here on earth to do is to 00:10:51.551 --> 00:10:55.922 align:start line:79% position:50% size:75% be more of a reflection of our Father, the good and the bad, 00:10:55.922 --> 00:10:57.257 align:start line:85% position:48% size:48% that gets us there. 00:10:57.257 --> 00:10:58.992 align:start line:79% position:45% size:73% Randy: Okay, all right, well, there's probably some people 00:10:58.992 --> 00:11:02.295 align:start line:79% position:46% size:68% that are going through some fires right now. 00:11:02.295 --> 00:11:04.531 align:start line:79% position:44% size:78% Maybe you've been, I don't know where you're at, but you could 00:11:04.531 --> 00:11:06.132 align:start line:85% position:46% size:68% use a little encouragement. 00:11:06.132 --> 00:11:07.634 align:start line:85% position:50% size:81% That's what this man's here for. 00:11:07.634 --> 00:11:10.169 align:start line:79% position:46% size:68% We'd love to hear that song one more time. 00:11:10.169 --> 00:11:12.338 align:start

align:start line:79% position:50% size:70% announcer: Across Africa, millions of families wake up 00:19:15.488 --> 00:19:19.325 align:start line:79% position:50% size:75% each morning unsure if there

watching 00:19:42.815 --> 00:19:46.685 align:start line:79% position:45% size:73% her child waste away, knowing that what they need most is 00:19:46.685 --> 00:19:48.054 align:start line:85% position:50% size:31% simply food. 00:20:19.085 --> 00:20:21.887 align:start line:79% position:44% size:78% announcer: Without timely intervention, malnutrition will 00:20:21.887 --> 00:20:25.324

Mission Feeding is that it is a 00:21:06.632 --> 00:21:10.703 align:start line:79% position:50% size:81% remembrance of people, people who are praying, people who have 00:21:10.703 --> 00:21:15.274 align:start line:79% position:50% size:81% said, "Lord, send us some help," somewhere and I just, Blynda, I 00:21:15.274 --> 00:21:17.243 align:start line:79% position:46% size:68% think that we're the answer to their prayers. 00:21:17.243 --> 00:21:18.577 align:start line:85% position:50% size:56% Blynda: I know we are. 00:21:18.577 --> 00:21:22.114 align:start line:79% position:50% size:81% I mean, when you hear a mother's cry and she's not even just 00:21:22.114 --> 00:21:26.519 align:start line:79% position:50% size:75% crying for her children, she's saying, "I may not even exist, 00:21:26.519 --> 00:21:28.621 align:start line:79% position:47% size:63% like, the village may not exist," it's just 00:21:28.621 --> 00:21:30.022 align:start line:85% position:48% size:43% so heartbreaking. 00:21:30.022 --> 00:21:33.993 align:start line:58% position:44% size:78% And yet, when she has that cry, I mean, there's--in our 00:21:33.993 --> 00:21:37.830 align:start line:58% position:50% size:81% humanity, you can't hear someone cry and not want to answer the 00:21:37.830 --> 00:21:42.134 align:start line:58% position:50% size:75% cry for help, and it's within our range that we can do that. 00:21:42.134 --> 00:21:43.969 align:start line:58% position:50% size:75% Randy: Yeah, it's within our-- well, I mean, the scripture 00:21:43.969 --> 00:21:46.772 align:start line:58% position:50% size:81% literally tells us when you have the means to do good, you know, 00:21:46.772 --> 00:21:48.140 align:start line:63% position:50% size:41% don't hold back. 00:21:48.140

00:21:52.178 align:start line:58% position:47% size:63% And so that's really what Mission Feeding is about. 00:21:52.178 --> 00:21:55.814 align:start line:58% position:44% size:78% It's about saying, "We have the ability to help," and it's so 00:21:55.814 --> 00:21:57.249 align:start line:63% position:50% size:56% economically feasible. 00:21:57.249 --> 00:21:59.051 align:start line:58% position:50% size:81% Blynda: Well, I was going to say though with that, Randy, do you 00:21:59.051 --> 00:22:03.689 align:start line:58% position:50% size:81% think maybe if somebody is not sure if they should or could, is 00:22:03.689 --> 00:22:06.492 align:start line:58% position:46% size:68% it because they don't think their little is enough? 00:22:06.492 --> 00:22:09.662 align:start line:58%

But you know, you asked another question, Blynda, off camera, 00:22:33.052 --> 00:22:34.987 align:start line:63% position:50% size:81% and it's a very common question. 00:22:34.987 --> 00:22:38.023 align:start line:58% position:44% size:78% You talk about why would people even stay where they're at, 00:22:38.023 --> 00:22:39.358 align:start line:63% position:48% size:23% you know? 00:22:39.358 --> 00:22:42.728 align:start line:58% position:50% size:81% Well, you saw the two pieces of, I think it was corn, just 00:22:42.728 --> 00:22:45.664 align:start line:58% position:47% size:53% standard corn, right, that had dried up. 00:22:45.664 --> 00:22:48.267 align:start line:58% position:50% size:65% Blynda: So crops have been good there before? 00:22:48.267 --> 00:22:50.669 align:start line:58% position:48% size:48% Randy: Yes, and the people work hard. 00:22:50.669 --> 00:22:54.707 align:start line:58% position:50% size:81% Something happens in the process of providing the food, whether 00:22:54.707 --> 00:22:58.544 align:start line:58% position:50% size:81% it's a flood or a failed crop, a drought, something like that, 00:22:58.544 --> 00:23:01.146 align:start line:63% position:47% size:58% and that's where we go. 00:23:01.146 --> 00:23:07.353 align:start line:58% position:45% size:73% Mission Feeding is emergency food, a program, essentially. 00:23:07.353 --> 00:23:11.056 align:start line:58% position:44% size:78% We often do it in schools, because when a child is focused 00:23:11.056 --> 00:23:15.427 align:start line:58% position:50% size:75% on their next meal, they can't really get an education. 00:23:15.427 --> 00:23:18.430 align:start line:58% position:50% size:81% When the children are having to work constantly in the fields to 00:23:18.430 --> 00:23:21.100 align:start line:58% position:50% size:75% provide, help provide the next meal, makes it hard to get 00:23:21.100 --> 00:23:22.434 align:start line:63% position:48% size:33% an education. 00:23:22.434 --> 00:23:24.036 align:start line:58% position:47% size:58% It makes it hard to get out of that cycle. 00:23:24.036 --> 00:23:28.774 align:start line:58% position:50% size:75% Mission Feeding gets children, villages, families out of the 00:23:28.774 --> 00:23:32.111 align:start line:58% position:44% size:78% cycle of poverty and starvation and hunger. 00:23:32.111 --> 00:23:33.879 align:start line:63% position:50% size:65% That's what you're giving. 00:23:33.879 --> 00:23:37.983 align:start line:58% position:44% size:78% When you give $50, for example, to help feed 5 children for the 00:23:37.983 --> 00:23:42.221 align:start line:58% position:50% size:75% next several months or $100 to help feed 10 children, you're 00:23:42.221 --> 00:23:44.590 align:start line:58% position:47% size:63% not just giving them food in a bowl. 00:23:44.590 --> 00:23:47.793 align:start line:58% position:44% size:78% Yes, you are helping to provide that because that's what the 00:23:47.793 --> 00:23:51.664 align:start line:58% position:45% size:73% immediate need is, but you're also giving them a hope and a 00:23:51.664 --> 00:23:53.465 align:start line:63% position:50% size:70% future through an education. 00:23:53.465 --> 00:23:56.235 align:start line:58% position:50% size:70% You're also giving them the gospel because the gospel is 00:23:56.235 --> 00:23:59.705 align:start line:58% position:50% size:56% embedded in everything that we do. 00:23:59.705 --> 00:24:02.775 align:start line:58% position:50% size:81% So as we wrap up this television campaign, I want you--to let 00:24:02.775 --> 00:24:05.944 align:start line:58% position:50% size:65% you know that the Mission Feeding will continue with 00:24:05.944 --> 00:24:07.279 align:start line:63%

align:start line:58% position:50% size:81% Some of you could perhaps give $1000 to help feed 100 children, 00:24:16.722 --> 00:24:18.824 align:start line:63% position:50% size:41% maybe even more. 00:24:18.824 --> 00:24:24.463 align:start line:58% position:45% size:73% I'm telling you right now, we will make a difference with 00:24:24.463 --> 00:24:25.864 align:start line:63% position:50% size:25% your help. 00:24:25.864 --> 00:24:27.466 align:start line:63% position:50% size:61% It's worked in the past. 00:24:27.466 --> 00:24:28.834 align:start line:63% position:48% size:33% It's working. 00:24:28.834 --> 00:24:32.204 align:start line:58% position:50% size:56% We want it to continue working in the future. 00:24:32.204 --> 00:24:33.572 align:start line:63% position:47% size:58%
