00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.680
you're going to get to heaven one day and somebody that you don't know is going to

2
00:00:03.680 --> 00:00:08.880
approach you tears in their eyes and they're going to say thank you so much and the reason

3
00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:12.640
you're not going to know them is because you never met them a day in your life but the reason

4
00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:16.560
that they're so grateful and thankful to you is because you are a member of city light

5
00:00:16.560 --> 00:00:22.000
church and you sowed consistently into the work that was founded and blessed them.

6
00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:28.560
We've been sending people to Guatemala since 2009. Welcome to the city light church podcast.

7
00:00:28.560 --> 00:00:34.480
Thanks for joining us today as we look into God's word and discover the hope and truth that he has

8
00:00:34.480 --> 00:00:41.360
for us. If you want to connect with city light church feel free to visit us at citylightnyc.com

00:00:41.360 --> 00:00:48.320
that's city light nyc.com. Pastor Boyan Jansik and his team believe that the power of the

10
00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:54.400
Holy Spirit is already working in our hearts and minds. As you listen to today's teaching,

11
00:00:54.400 --> 00:01:00.640
remember that you are deeply loved by God that you are surrounded by his grace and that he has a

12
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:08.800
real hope and a future for you. So again my name is Muhammad and one of the pastors here

13
00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:19.040
Pastor Boyan will be with us next week pray for him. It's not feeling too well today but we know

14
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:27.920
that the Lord is his healer. Amen. So before I have the team come up and share I wanted to express

15
00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:35.120
some things specifically so I know that we sent a team of close to 20 to Guatemala and it was a

16
00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:41.280
powerful and amazing thing for them to be out there and to do that work but the caveat is this I

17
00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:48.560
need you to understand you went to Guatemala because I know you might think to yourself like oh man

18
00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:53.120
they're missionaries now praise God like you know super super status Christian right there

19
00:01:54.480 --> 00:01:58.400
they're not just life group leaders of the life group members they're like missionaries they've

20
00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:03.280
gone into the field they've they've ministered the word of God that cannot be hid nor should it be

21
00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:11.840
hid amen they've done the work but you know that the scripture actually teaches that as the

22
00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:19.360
sending house that we're missionaries as well did you know about all right Pastor Brian of course

23
00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:27.280
you knew big resounding in the second row yeah well studied man I understand you knew talking to

24
00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:37.040
everyone else but there is this idea in scripture that we learn as a principle set up by David David

25
00:02:37.040 --> 00:02:43.760
after the battle of Ziklag they went to recover their their family their stuff because the city

26
00:02:43.760 --> 00:02:50.080
of Ziklag had been burned and their their wife their wives and their children had been kidnapped

27
00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:55.920
and they went to go recover it but half of the army was too tired to complete the entire journey

28
00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:03.840
so some of them went on and some of them stayed with the stuff and upon returning because they

29
00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:08.480
they returned successfully having done the will of the Lord they recovered their wives recovered their

30
00:03:08.480 --> 00:03:19.040
children they also recovered a great deal of spoil amen but there was some fellows among them the

31
00:03:19.040 --> 00:03:26.000
Bible calls them a few wicked fellows let me read you what the scripture says and David's loving

32
00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:38.160
response to them this is in 1st Samuel 30 I'm going to start at verse 21 and David came to the 200

33
00:03:38.160 --> 00:03:43.040
men who were so exhausted in faint that they could not follow him and had been left at the Brook

34
00:03:43.040 --> 00:03:48.880
Beesore with the baggage they came to meet David and those with him and when he came near to the

35
00:03:48.880 --> 00:03:55.280
men he saluted them then all the wicked and base men who went with David said because they did not

36
00:03:55.280 --> 00:04:00.880
go up with us we will give them nothing of the spoil we have recovered except that every man

37
00:04:00.880 --> 00:04:07.440
may lead away his wife and children and depart David said you shall not do so my brethren with what

38
00:04:07.440 --> 00:04:12.720
the Lord has given us he has preserved us and has delivered into our hands the troop that came

39
00:04:12.720 --> 00:04:19.680
against us who would listen to you in this matter for as is the share of him who goes into the battle

40
00:04:19.760 --> 00:04:27.040
so shall his share be who stays by the baggage they shall share alike and from that day to this

41
00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:36.640
he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel oh praise God listen I go a lot of you

42
00:04:38.400 --> 00:04:43.120
I didn't budget for a trip to Guatemala this year but the Lord made it so that I would receive

43
00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:49.280
my reward come on somebody so here's the thing on a practical level you're going to get to heaven

44
00:04:49.280 --> 00:04:55.920
one day and somebody that you don't know is going to approach you tears in their eyes and they're

45
00:04:55.920 --> 00:05:02.000
going to say thank you so much now knowing you the way that I know you you're going to be like

46
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:08.480
who aren't you do I know you from the left side or the right side of the pearly gates

47
00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:14.320
and the reason you're not going to know them is because you never met them a day in your life but

48
00:05:14.320 --> 00:05:18.720
the reason that they're so grateful and thankful to you is because you are a member of city light

49
00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:25.600
church and you sowed consistently into the work that was founded and blessed them again we've

50
00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:34.480
been sending people to Guatemala since 2009 that's 17 years of ministry and this is my some churches

51
00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:39.440
like they they get a mission team together and they send a place and I've heard a comedian say this

52
00:05:39.440 --> 00:05:44.800
before but it's actually very true like they work on a doorknob for 10 years not so with city light

53
00:05:44.880 --> 00:05:50.880
church we've built close to 50 churches that double as community centers in

54
00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:58.880
Nabakua, that is not a light work that is not a minuscule nor a little thing that is powerful

55
00:06:00.320 --> 00:06:05.360
but the scriptures are teaching us that that's not just the ministry the missionary team that went

56
00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:10.000
over there that's you as well so I need you to get comfortable with that I need you to know that

57
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:17.840
every time you give two missions you are effectively pushing forward the gospel on this earth

58
00:06:17.840 --> 00:06:24.640
to places that you can't physically go yourself that is powerful know that you do that by faith

59
00:06:24.640 --> 00:06:28.800
every single time you give and on a practical level this is something that I just want to boast

60
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:32.800
on our church a little bit because not everybody can say stuff like this because they don't run

61
00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:41.040
their business the way that we do but normally with non-for-profit organizations when they give

62
00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:46.000
to an international ministry there are overhead costs to pay for their staff to do different things

63
00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:52.160
like that so when you give let's say $10 five of those dollars would be the overhead for the organization

64
00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:56.640
and then the five that's left over they would eventually send to the place that you originally

65
00:06:56.640 --> 00:07:02.080
wanted to donate 10 does that make sense so that doesn't happen at city light church we have this

66
00:07:02.080 --> 00:07:07.520
arm of city light church called global compassion we already as city light church we have a staff

67
00:07:07.520 --> 00:07:15.600
our staff is a select small group of elite Navy SEAL Christians that do everything I should know

68
00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:22.720
I'm one of them so that means that every dollar that is donated to the missionary work that

69
00:07:22.720 --> 00:07:30.800
happens whether it's in Guatemala or Ethiopia every single dollar goes directly to the work so we've

70
00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:34.960
supported the McCombs who they actually they have put boots on the ground they've been there for

71
00:07:34.960 --> 00:07:40.640
over two decades ministering to the issue people which another side note the issue people are

72
00:07:40.640 --> 00:07:45.520
direct descendants of the Maya these are people that have never left that mountain like sometimes

73
00:07:45.520 --> 00:07:50.320
like they witness white people for the first time and they're like oh they're also very short people

74
00:07:50.320 --> 00:07:57.040
that's why I'm looking up oh I can only imagine what it was like the first time the pastor

75
00:07:57.120 --> 00:08:02.320
rolled up because you know he's very gregarious very loud there's blessing in many ways but I

76
00:08:02.320 --> 00:08:11.680
can imagine them just being shocked like oh but no it's a powerful and a beautiful thing because

77
00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:17.040
I just I'm trying to get it through your mind and through your heart that you have given tremendously

78
00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:23.280
to the work that is happening in the gospel being shared not just abroad but also locally as well

79
00:08:23.280 --> 00:08:28.080
this is not something where you need to hop on a plane in order to be a missionary in Queens alone

80
00:08:28.080 --> 00:08:35.200
we have over 180 different nations represented you're a missionary right here on the ground and guess what

81
00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:41.760
this gospel is too special for you to hide it in your coat the reason that we are willing to send

82
00:08:41.760 --> 00:08:47.360
people and pay for people to go is because we know that they need to hear this message it is too good

83
00:08:47.360 --> 00:08:58.240
to be hid amen so just know that the Lord thanks you he honors you for the work that you've done

84
00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:04.800
in Guatemala even if you've never been to Guatemala now with that being said I'm going to invite

85
00:09:04.800 --> 00:09:14.160
out Sarah Klinger she's our city kids director she's one of the missionaries who actually went

86
00:09:14.160 --> 00:09:19.120
on this trip despite her many roles that she had to do here she was like you know what I'm going to

87
00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:28.560
go do this work so let you hear from Sarah well good morning everyone it was such a privilege to

88
00:09:28.560 --> 00:09:36.560
be able to go with the team we sent 20 of us down to Guatemala this year and just so you have an

89
00:09:36.560 --> 00:09:43.520
idea of what we were doing while we were down there during the day we would work on a construction

90
00:09:43.520 --> 00:09:50.240
project where we actually physically building churches and one of the construction projects was

91
00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:55.120
actually in a village that was the first church in that village that was that was being built and

92
00:09:55.120 --> 00:10:00.960
so we got to be a part of that and then we also did VBS which is vacation Bible school with the

93
00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:07.680
children so the kids would come and we would do a lesson with the children and then in the evenings

94
00:10:07.920 --> 00:10:13.920
we would have church services so everyone would come and we would get to minister to people and lay

95
00:10:13.920 --> 00:10:19.440
hands on them and really just see the Lord move so I'm going to invite the team to come up and if

96
00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:25.680
media team if you can play the video for us you guys can get an idea of what we did and then we'll

97
00:10:25.680 --> 00:10:28.880

98
00:10:55.680 --> 00:11:09.600
17 years and forever more we will carry the light we will adore

00:12:01.920 --> 00:12:07.120
awesome so there you guys got a little sneak peek of what we did and we'll have some photos here

103
00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:12.080
you guys can look at but we're gonna take some time to hear some testimonies about the Lord has

104
00:12:12.160 --> 00:12:21.440
done so I'll share with you guys first a moment that was so simple but so powerful that the Lord did so

105
00:12:21.440 --> 00:12:28.960
the second church that we had gone to when we were walking up to the the service I heard like a little

106
00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:36.160
baby cry and I was immediately like oh where's this baby and I saw mom that she had a baby like on

107
00:12:36.160 --> 00:12:41.200
her back and I asked her you know how old is your baby and she said the baby was two months old and

108
00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:46.240
I was like oh congratulations and you know then we went to the the service and then when we were

109
00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:52.320
ministering and praying for people she was sitting like all the way you know in the back and you know

110
00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:57.920
I went over to her and started praying for her and I felt like the Lord gave me a word of knowledge

111
00:12:57.920 --> 00:13:04.800
and he just spoke to me he said postpartum depression and I you know just started praying for her

112
00:13:04.800 --> 00:13:10.480
and I was speaking freedom over her and I felt like the Lord said to me tell her that I love her

113
00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:15.280
and she's a good mom and I don't speak a lot of Spanish but I was able to say that

114
00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:23.600
and so I I said that to her and she just looked at me and just started weeping and I've just kept

115
00:13:23.600 --> 00:13:28.560
praying for her and hugging her and I felt like the Lord really just in that moment just spoke to

116
00:13:28.560 --> 00:13:35.760
her exactly what she needed to hear and the Lord moved through you know a language barrier and you

117
00:13:35.760 --> 00:13:42.240
know just such a simple simple moment to really like touch her heart so I just want to encourage

118
00:13:42.240 --> 00:13:46.800
you guys that you know when the Lord speaks to you something so simple it can be so powerful

119
00:13:46.800 --> 00:13:59.120
and to just speak out and to say those words so awesome so I'll invite Cassandra and Eduardo

120
00:13:59.200 --> 00:14:03.040
you both can come up together if you guys want to share

121
00:14:10.400 --> 00:14:17.440
hi everyone happy to be here to share with you today so one thing that I experienced on the trip

122
00:14:17.440 --> 00:14:22.000
was being able to pray for a woman we prayed for healing for a group of people in a church

123
00:14:22.560 --> 00:14:28.160
and at the end the pastor had asked who got healed I saw a razor hand to kept my eye on her I just

124
00:14:28.160 --> 00:14:32.480
felt like the Lord was impressing something upon me about her and he gave it to me the last

125
00:14:32.480 --> 00:14:38.000
minute and I made sure I went in chat with her after and I said are there other people in your

126
00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:43.680
family who need healing I feel like the Lord's impressed a lot upon me she said yes and so I knew

127
00:14:43.680 --> 00:14:49.840
she'd already received her healing and then I told her that the Lord wanted to use her to

128
00:14:50.560 --> 00:14:56.400
bring healing to the other people in her family that needed healing so once the Lord heals us

129
00:14:56.560 --> 00:15:00.720
of something of anything he doesn't necessarily have had to heal you for it for him to work through

130
00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:06.880
you but especially when he's done something in your life healed you from something he will use

131
00:15:06.880 --> 00:15:13.440
you and wants to work through you to bring that same blessing that same healing whatever he gave

132
00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:26.320
you to give it to others so and at the end when I told her that just her eyes when

133
00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:30.560
she looked at me I just wanted to share this part this this look came over I she looked at me

134
00:15:30.560 --> 00:15:36.640
her whole countenance had changed and she said es cierto and which is a true and I told her yes it was

135
00:15:36.640 --> 00:15:40.240
true

136
00:15:46.240 --> 00:15:53.280
good morning church I'm gonna share a little bit of a testimony from a slightly different angle

137
00:15:54.080 --> 00:16:01.120
and it's from the angle of the work that was done there in those villages and it's because of

138
00:16:01.680 --> 00:16:06.800
the way this church all of you included who give to missions that's been able to help and

139
00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:12.880
really help those villages out you know when we were out there so my first time ever going on

140
00:16:12.880 --> 00:16:18.080
a mission church was two years ago in 2024 and I was seeing the work for the first time

141
00:16:18.160 --> 00:16:23.200
seeing the the the group come together helping out with construction building the churches and

142
00:16:23.200 --> 00:16:28.240
I was like alright cool it's you know they're laying the foundation so going back this year was

143
00:16:29.040 --> 00:16:34.400
even more eye-opening because we went to about five or six villages and two of them were the same

144
00:16:34.400 --> 00:16:42.160
that we went to in 2024 and there's actual churches there fully built and it's so cool to see

145
00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:49.360
the finished product of what was started because of the the funding that goes into it you know it's

146
00:16:50.160 --> 00:16:54.400
these people have never had a church before and now they have a building there now they have a

147
00:16:54.400 --> 00:16:59.840
sanctuary now kids are growing up in that community actually seeing the work of God actually going

148
00:16:59.840 --> 00:17:07.120

156
00:17:48.800 --> 00:17:55.840

through her leadership so thank you for that awesome Matt will you come on up and share next

158
00:18:09.120 --> 00:18:14.640
hey guys how are you so yeah my my experience was different now I was asking the Lord

159
00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:22.160
you know to give me a word for you guys and the two words was spoiled and struggle and the

160
00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:28.880
spoiled is spoiled in love and how spoiled we are here at city light to have a community that

161
00:18:28.880 --> 00:18:37.920
love us I mean we we went out to Mike McCombs compound and we really spent a lot of time the

162
00:18:37.920 --> 00:18:44.000
men were in this far cabin and we got really close with with some people that we we met here

163
00:18:44.800 --> 00:18:50.080
and for me it impacted me when when I came three years ago I wanted nothing to do with anybody

164
00:18:50.080 --> 00:18:54.720
I would sit all the way in the back and pastor boy I would say goodbye and before it

165
00:18:54.720 --> 00:19:00.960
by would come out I would be out the door and you know I went from that to really finding people

166
00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:07.200
that love God and projected the fruit of the spirit towards me and allowed me to appropriate that

167
00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:15.760
same fruit to myself it was really really healing so yeah just it's really impacts me the way that

168
00:19:15.760 --> 00:19:22.880
these people from Guatemala they're from the Yeshua as pastor Moa was saying from the Aztecs

169
00:19:22.880 --> 00:19:28.800
and the Mayans and the Yeshua people they don't have and this is why I said swell they don't have

170
00:19:28.800 --> 00:19:37.120
a word for forgiveness they don't have a word for grace or mercy so so the pastor Mike McCombs he's

171
00:19:37.120 --> 00:19:44.560
been out there for 35 years and just trying to drill into these people who've who've they've

172
00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:53.280
you know praised and worship false gods and now we bring Jesus we bring forgiveness we bring the

173
00:19:53.280 --> 00:19:58.960
gospel and they since and it was just wow that they don't have that word of forgiveness well that's

174
00:19:58.960 --> 00:20:04.960
the whole thing so that's why it's taken generations and generations of people you know worshiping

175
00:20:04.960 --> 00:20:12.560
false gods and then the struggle was just really how how easy we actually have it here at city light

176
00:20:13.440 --> 00:20:19.680
and and really in a New York and in America that that God is here the Holy Spirit is here and we

177
00:20:19.680 --> 00:20:25.040
make it so easy because we can all relate to forgiveness we can all relate to grace and mercy we

178
00:20:25.040 --> 00:20:30.880
have Google if you don't really not sure how it works and what that is so yeah it's just a

179
00:20:30.880 --> 00:20:35.760
transformative if you're new here this is a place that you can come to get to new get to meet

180
00:20:35.760 --> 00:20:43.360
people that love God and we'll project that same spirit awesome thank you Matt for for sharing

181
00:20:44.560 --> 00:20:48.640
just think you know Matt Matt shared of how you know when he first came to city light was

182
00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:53.520
sitting in the back and you know left and now a few years later he's up here and that could be

183
00:20:53.520 --> 00:20:58.640
one of you in a few years you know the next mission trip you're up here and sharing that same

184
00:20:58.640 --> 00:21:04.160
testimony of how you really got rooted and plugged in to the church I believe that there's so many

185
00:21:04.160 --> 00:21:10.400
of you ready to just take that the next step here so awesome thank you Matt for for sharing

186
00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:12.960
Josh will you come on up next

187
00:21:19.200 --> 00:21:25.200
everyone I have some notes but I just feel like I'm gonna speak from the heart but um

188
00:21:26.080 --> 00:21:32.240
yeah so yeah this is my second time being able to go to Guatemala and just coming this time around

189
00:21:32.800 --> 00:21:38.560
definitely want a lot more confident and assured in myself knowing that you know I'm

190
00:21:38.560 --> 00:21:43.680
sent on this trip for a reason too and so just going in with that expectation but also just be

191
00:21:43.680 --> 00:21:47.440
very transparent like the past couple of months leading up to this trip were probably someone

192
00:21:47.440 --> 00:21:53.920
who was challenging where I personally it was just not I didn't have much faith for myself and

193
00:21:53.920 --> 00:21:59.120
what God was doing in my life and so I was leading up to this trip I was like Lord you're

194
00:21:59.120 --> 00:22:04.320
leading us to minister to other people but how can I do that when I made my myself I feel very

195
00:22:04.320 --> 00:22:12.240
empty um but in faith I still went um I remember the first night of worship I remember just

196
00:22:12.240 --> 00:22:16.880
getting this picture of Jesus and then I just saw Jesus in the streets of Neba and I kept hearing

197
00:22:16.880 --> 00:22:23.200
the words behold the throne and in that challenge I was just like let me just let me just focus on

198
00:22:23.280 --> 00:22:30.800
Jesus and let me just do that let me just because like with that yeah I was you know there's like with

199
00:22:30.800 --> 00:22:34.560
that with that like you know why isn't anything happening for me it just put so much pressure on

200
00:22:34.560 --> 00:22:39.200
myself to make something happen but I was just like you know let me just focus on Jesus for this

201
00:22:39.200 --> 00:22:43.840
trip and let me just see what he has to do and I remember there was this one day that um one

202
00:22:43.840 --> 00:22:48.000
service there was somebody I just felt led to pray for normally we're just going through the crowd

203
00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:51.120
I would just say bless you and Jesus name bless you Jesus name just like if you didn't really

204
00:22:51.120 --> 00:22:55.280
go to where you just move on to the next person person this person I thought was just one person

205
00:22:55.280 --> 00:22:59.920
I was like I was just gonna like bless let's move on but like when I laid my hands on him I just

206
00:23:00.960 --> 00:23:06.800
felt this tremendous pain for him this person had just been through trauma just from the minute he

207
00:23:06.800 --> 00:23:10.560
was born all the way up to where he's a full grown adult now he has a family and I remember just

208
00:23:11.200 --> 00:23:16.400
feeling so much like feeling that pain for him but then also feeling hope and it was so

209
00:23:16.400 --> 00:23:20.720
interesting that I felt those two things at the same time because that was just something I felt

210
00:23:20.720 --> 00:23:25.360
this entire trip like you know there is still a lot of work that has to be done but there's just

211
00:23:25.360 --> 00:23:29.520
so much hope there's just a difference I noticed this time around there's an opening that the

212
00:23:29.520 --> 00:23:33.840
Holy Spirit is just really taking and just like there's less of that religious spirit it's still

213
00:23:33.840 --> 00:23:39.360
there but like I see it and there's so much hope um but that in that that answer and did a lot

214
00:23:39.360 --> 00:23:45.600
for me I could now have hope for myself like there've been you know like there've been breakthroughs

215
00:23:45.600 --> 00:23:50.640
that I received like from the minute I from the minute I landed like transparently got my first

216
00:23:50.640 --> 00:23:58.000
client for a business I'm starting so like that started um yeah so like um it's just been awesome

217
00:23:58.000 --> 00:24:02.800
and I just like just being able to just go on this trip has just been incredible so if it's even on

218
00:24:02.800 --> 00:24:08.560
your part to even like think about going I would just lean into that I would just really just

219
00:24:08.560 --> 00:24:16.400
trust the Lord that he'll do something for your life so yeah and hold on so you're trying

220
00:24:16.400 --> 00:24:21.360
to say that you put your hand to the plow not worrying about your business but worrying about his

221
00:24:21.360 --> 00:24:32.640
business and then he profited your business that'll preach the Lord is so good like that you know

222
00:24:33.040 --> 00:24:39.280
we we step out and you know we do something for him and then he's like I'm just going to bless you

223
00:24:39.280 --> 00:24:47.280
back even more than you've given yeah awesome thank you Josh um you Delco will you come on up and share

224
00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:59.920
hi city light um I'm a little nervous as you can tell but um before I go into the testimony

225
00:24:59.920 --> 00:25:07.760
I just want to encourage others um to you know make time to do something beautiful for God like

226
00:25:08.960 --> 00:25:15.200
I've also been really busy and had a lot of things to do but it's really nice to serve others um

227
00:25:15.920 --> 00:25:23.040
so don't be scared like I was just have the leap of faith and do it and then um it will bring you

228
00:25:23.040 --> 00:25:28.720
a lot of joy because this trip will be a lot of joy um I got to work with the VBS team and the

229
00:25:28.720 --> 00:25:33.920
kids were so beautiful and they were waiting for us each time we came to the church they were so

230
00:25:33.920 --> 00:25:39.280
eager to like hear the word of God and when we worship they were always smiling and that made me

231
00:25:39.280 --> 00:25:47.520
feel really happy to be able to be there and um you know and help them and it was it kind of

232
00:25:47.520 --> 00:25:52.000
reminding me of God when he told us that you know we need to be like little kids because they were

233
00:25:52.000 --> 00:26:00.720
just so open and receiving um and the most beautiful part was when the pastor came and he um

234
00:26:01.760 --> 00:26:07.040
he read to them the book of Romans where he said you know the clear that Jesus is Lord and then

235
00:26:07.040 --> 00:26:13.440
to accept God into your heart and they were so openly all gave their life to Jesus and so it was

236
00:26:13.440 --> 00:26:19.680
really beautiful and um I got to witness that and so I encourage everyone to like you know don't

237
00:26:19.680 --> 00:26:27.840
be afraid and be able to go and have God do what he wants with you thank you awesome thank you

238
00:26:27.840 --> 00:26:34.640
you Delta don't don't go back yet stay here for a moment so you Delta you know came on the

239
00:26:34.640 --> 00:26:39.440
mission trip and before you know I remember you were nervous and I'd encourage everyone I was like

240
00:26:39.440 --> 00:26:44.400
you know if you you know haven't had a lot of experience praying for people you know join the

241
00:26:44.400 --> 00:26:49.760
healing rooms and you'll get to learn and experience that there and this woman here took that upon

242
00:26:49.760 --> 00:26:56.160
herself and she has been coming to the healing rooms and allowing the Lord to just equip her before

243
00:26:56.160 --> 00:27:02.160
she went out and do it and and just to see you know the what the Lord has done in you is really just

244
00:27:02.160 --> 00:27:11.360
so beautiful so Erica went on you come on up next

245
00:27:16.240 --> 00:27:18.240
the mama bear of the trip right here

246
00:27:18.880 --> 00:27:33.040
hello hello good morning oh man okay I'm gonna watch the clock and I'm gonna be good

247
00:27:33.040 --> 00:27:42.400
amen praise God a few things um is I think from the first service and even now some of these people

248
00:27:42.400 --> 00:27:49.760
back here behind me have been very humble about how God has used them so I'm gonna I'm gonna try to

249
00:27:49.760 --> 00:27:57.120
keep it short so what God has spoken to me and just with the I went in 2024 and I think this trip

250
00:27:57.120 --> 00:28:07.600
was just really knitting and of just to the Guatemalan's and in the Yeshua people in their heart

251
00:28:07.600 --> 00:28:13.840
and having compassion for them seeing them in a different way right um one a few things that

252
00:28:13.840 --> 00:28:19.440
send out to me there was one service in particular where we were you know pastor we've been released

253
00:28:20.480 --> 00:28:26.000
to just pray for people go through the crowd and pray and I went all the way to the back and I

254
00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:31.680
could see these four young girls like preteens maybe oh this may could have been 15 but they're

255
00:28:31.680 --> 00:28:36.400
standing in the doorway I can see their silhouette at the door and they were all kind of bunch

256
00:28:36.400 --> 00:28:42.080
together and so I was telling them to come here and so I didn't know if they saw me or not so I

257
00:28:42.080 --> 00:28:46.560
went further and I went up to them and I said come here for so I could pray for them long story

258
00:28:46.560 --> 00:28:51.280
short I you know they came up and I told them to raise their hands and they're kind of giggling

259
00:28:51.280 --> 00:28:56.480
you know little girlish giggling I was like okay are they laughing at me well yeah I didn't know

260
00:28:57.120 --> 00:29:04.560
but the Lord was uh begin to show me that I truly believe that there was that they had been

261
00:29:04.560 --> 00:29:11.280
sexually violated and so I began to speak and pray over them declare freedom and it won't get

262
00:29:11.280 --> 00:29:17.120
involved that but I was speaking some things over them and one by one they just began to profusely

263
00:29:17.120 --> 00:29:21.440
cry and everything they were willing they're holding on to each other I don't even know if they

264
00:29:21.440 --> 00:29:27.120
understood me in the language until I began to declare some things but just a little different note

265
00:29:27.120 --> 00:29:32.880
how the enemy can work we had one gentleman step up and it was like he wanted to interrupt that

266
00:29:33.600 --> 00:29:39.840
and I was like could he be the perpetrator no let me stop but um but anyways

267
00:29:39.840 --> 00:29:45.280
and so he was trying to ask them do you want to like go somewhere else they're looking at him like

268
00:29:45.280 --> 00:29:50.240
you know we want to stay with her right so anyways long story short so I prayed for them and I

269
00:29:50.240 --> 00:29:54.400
believed there was deliverance and I declared some things over their lives another moment was where

270
00:29:55.040 --> 00:30:00.240
I called one of the um I think was a bass player I called him off the platform to pray for him

271
00:30:00.800 --> 00:30:08.240
and um I had Nelson help me translate and his prayer request was that he needed just the strength

272
00:30:08.240 --> 00:30:13.760
of the Lord he's I just need the strength of God you know it's just little things right and we

273
00:30:13.760 --> 00:30:20.800
were in just seeing him receive like that and be set free um thirdly I truly believe that God

274
00:30:20.800 --> 00:30:28.560
has catapulted our church into another level when he used many of our young men to preach and

275
00:30:28.560 --> 00:30:35.920
bring the word of God um Nelson Luke Eduardo all of them you all would just be amazed God was just

276
00:30:35.920 --> 00:30:42.320
it was just really um amazing and I truly believe that there was a cap that came off that day right

277
00:30:42.320 --> 00:30:50.320
so um again and so I just believe that we all have to get beyond ourselves of oh you know I'm too

278
00:30:50.320 --> 00:30:54.640
shy to go I don't want to lay hands and God doesn't have time for that because he's coming soon

279
00:30:55.360 --> 00:31:01.200
right God he he's coming soon and he needs all of our hands on deck to get the work done right

280
00:31:01.840 --> 00:31:08.320
and what what I found about this mission strip for me is that I wish I could say that my last

281
00:31:08.320 --> 00:31:17.040
highlight was one on their soil but it wasn't because as we bring that fire back right yesterday

282
00:31:17.040 --> 00:31:21.920
was an amazing day ministering with the level life and the woman at the they were trying you

283
00:31:21.920 --> 00:31:26.960
going in for the abortion clinic that was amazing but afterwards I did some errands and I went

284
00:31:26.960 --> 00:31:33.120
to a store and there was a young woman there and um she was I was checking out it wasn't like she

285
00:31:33.120 --> 00:31:40.080
was outside on a smoke break I was in the line checking out with her right and word of knowledge

286
00:31:40.080 --> 00:31:46.880
it was very prophetic and prophetic very strong and I spoke to her I didn't care who was around

287
00:31:46.960 --> 00:31:51.280
she begins to weep uncontrollably checking me out

288
00:31:52.640 --> 00:31:58.400
she literally and so forth in saws okay well the boss isn't doing anything her

289
00:31:58.400 --> 00:32:03.760
faux cashiers no one's doing anything no one's saying move the line along and we just had

290
00:32:03.760 --> 00:32:13.360
shirts right in the in the picture long story short I almost left her with a God loves you

291
00:32:13.920 --> 00:32:20.560
but I went after I prayed for her I asked her about accepting Jesus Christ and she said yes

292
00:32:21.840 --> 00:32:28.560
she said yes she repeated after me it was no rushing it was this is if someone came over after

293
00:32:28.560 --> 00:32:33.760
service and take can you pray for me and I prayed for her letter to the Lord God her phone number

294
00:32:33.760 --> 00:32:39.920
maybe one day she will join us here in church and it all started when I was checking you know

295
00:32:39.920 --> 00:32:45.600
when I was checking out but I asked her is anyone ever shared Jesus with her and she gave me an

296
00:32:45.600 --> 00:32:50.800
answer that people tell me all the time when I minister just as I go in my daily life when I

297
00:32:50.800 --> 00:32:56.880
witness to people and she said my parents are religious and then that opened the flood gate so I'm

298
00:32:56.880 --> 00:33:03.920
going to stop and I'm just going to say praise God to God be the glory so um it all starts with all

299
00:33:03.920 --> 00:33:10.960
of us getting involved amen so like Pastor Moe said life groups are starting let's go and and now

300
00:33:10.960 --> 00:33:26.640
that I have the mic my life group my life group preparing for the glory Wednesdays on Zoom life group number

301
00:33:26.640 --> 00:33:32.000
eight life group number eight Wednesdays at seven thirty

302
00:33:38.080 --> 00:33:45.840
who is your pastor with that bad example so besides being a walking advertisement for her life group

303
00:33:47.520 --> 00:33:54.320
you you could see how you know the anointing you know flowed through Erica whether it was you know

304
00:33:54.400 --> 00:34:01.680
at service where she didn't speak the language and the Lord just came through and did something

305
00:34:02.400 --> 00:34:08.960
or she's you know in the line at the supermarket and starts praying for somebody um and the

306
00:34:08.960 --> 00:34:14.080
Lord's anointing came so wherever you are no matter what you're doing at the the Lord's anointing

307
00:34:14.080 --> 00:34:19.040
can flow through you when you step out in faith and when you're in tune to what he's doing

308
00:34:19.120 --> 00:34:24.320
um and you just take that step of obedience to just follow him um and listen and he's going to do

309
00:34:24.320 --> 00:34:30.400
something so powerful and miraculous um and you're going to be standing up here with the list

310
00:34:30.400 --> 00:34:35.120
of testimonies not being able to choose which one to share because the Lord's going to do something

311
00:34:35.120 --> 00:34:37.600
so powerful so thank you Erica for sharing

312
00:34:37.920 --> 00:34:43.760
so Sherry and Nelson and the two of you come up together

313
00:34:50.080 --> 00:34:56.720
um i want to reference a like a sermon that pastor boyan preached i think at the beginning

314
00:34:56.720 --> 00:35:01.840
or towards the end of january it was like his message for 2026 and he called it peace for

315
00:35:02.080 --> 00:35:07.520
pursuit right and about resting and receiving when you're resting and i felt like that is

316
00:35:07.520 --> 00:35:13.920
was my experience in guatamala was receiving direction was receiving opportunities

317
00:35:13.920 --> 00:35:18.720
was receiving even answer to pray i mean um some of you might know like Sherry and i are

318
00:35:18.720 --> 00:35:23.840
purchasing a home and a big thing that we were waiting for happened while we were in guatamala we

319
00:35:23.840 --> 00:35:30.480
got this successful news so it's just like things were happening and the Lord was giving

320
00:35:30.480 --> 00:35:36.000
me opportunities um to translate something i've never done uh at least in that kind of setting

321
00:35:36.000 --> 00:35:42.080
translating for pastor boyan into spanish that was nothing that i ever thought would happen during

322
00:35:42.080 --> 00:35:47.920
this trip um but it started simply there's a theme right of saying yes to the Lord and it started

323
00:35:47.920 --> 00:35:53.920
with me simply saying yes to joining this trip and then everything else came from it i walk away

324
00:35:53.920 --> 00:35:59.680
feeling like you know i don't deserve or earn any of these opportunities it was simply acknowledging

325
00:35:59.680 --> 00:36:04.480
that god does have a plan for my life god has a plan for your life and aligning yourself with saying

326
00:36:04.480 --> 00:36:09.440
god let your will be done in my life and the joy that will come from that and the rest that comes

327
00:36:09.440 --> 00:36:14.800
from that too of being like wow um i didn't have to do anything god just open the doors i walk right

328
00:36:14.800 --> 00:36:21.360
through it and i got testimonies to share because of that so yeah be encouraged by that uh today

329
00:36:21.360 --> 00:36:27.440
pray lord what is your will let your will be done and you'll see you will see amen thank you

330
00:36:27.440 --> 00:36:33.280
Nelson i'm gonna chime in here i said it the first service but um you know Nelson's being a little

331
00:36:33.280 --> 00:36:41.280
humble here he was not just a translator you know during the services um but he you know the the

332
00:36:41.280 --> 00:36:46.400
first service he had shared his testimony and then um you know the next day mike mccomb you know

333
00:36:46.400 --> 00:36:50.800
the missionary he would always do the translating during the services but he went hard on that

334
00:36:50.800 --> 00:36:56.240
construction project and you know as pastor boh someone from the team could translate and he prayed

335
00:36:56.240 --> 00:37:02.320
about it and he you know asked Nelson to do it and Nelson wasn't just a translator but he

336
00:37:02.320 --> 00:37:09.520
ministered with every person that was speaking and the anointing just flowed as a team and in such

337
00:37:09.520 --> 00:37:14.880
unity um and it was it was really awesome to to see you know as erica said seeing you know some

338
00:37:14.880 --> 00:37:20.240
men rise up but to really see you know the lord use you Nelson and um you know build you up that

339
00:37:20.240 --> 00:37:24.400
was just really wonderful to see so awesome

340
00:37:26.960 --> 00:37:34.480
Sherry it's your turn all right um i can share uh well hello church um i can share from the

341
00:37:34.480 --> 00:37:40.960
perspective that seeing Nelson um like being in that position i think we all have um seeing a

342
00:37:40.960 --> 00:37:45.520
lot of things in our life in our spouse and our friends that like you know god is going to do

343
00:37:45.520 --> 00:37:50.400
something in their life but you're like when is that coming it is that really coming but in your

344
00:37:50.400 --> 00:37:55.520
spirit you know that's coming and i just wanted i just wanted to encourage all of us to have faith

345
00:37:55.520 --> 00:38:00.480
and knowing that you know when that happened like it will happen in god's time and it will happen

346
00:38:00.480 --> 00:38:06.160
like in the eternity timeline it already happened and what we need to do is really hold onto it

347
00:38:06.160 --> 00:38:11.520
and then continue to pray for it continue to say god may your will be done like in all the

348
00:38:11.520 --> 00:38:17.840
friends in my family and the second thing i also want to share is um kind of like what erica was

349
00:38:17.840 --> 00:38:25.200
sharing like it's got overcome the language barrier so one night when we're doing the um the vbs

350
00:38:25.200 --> 00:38:31.040
i don't speak personally i don't speak Spanish at all like all i do is all i and then goodbye um

351
00:38:32.000 --> 00:38:37.360
i really try hard like i can say what's my name but that's it um but god really overcome the

352
00:38:37.360 --> 00:38:42.320
language barrier because it was like seven of them i seven of us i think doing a vbs but there

353
00:38:42.320 --> 00:38:49.920
was over a hundred of childrens and in the eshow culture like they are um they're not very like

354
00:38:49.920 --> 00:38:56.880
outgoing kind of people they are very um i can say a little bit shy and like gentle um just because

355
00:38:56.880 --> 00:39:02.160
what has happened in the past like they are kind of in a very very lower rank even but among the

356
00:39:02.160 --> 00:39:09.840
mind and people um so it's like you don't really see them like very confident like american

357
00:39:10.560 --> 00:39:17.280
so when we are serving like over a hundred kids there is a one activity we're doing like a crafting

358
00:39:17.920 --> 00:39:22.880
and we have to help the kids to cut the stuff and then make the things and there are a couple

359
00:39:22.880 --> 00:39:28.640
like teachers from the church that are wrong um but then again i don't really speak the language

360
00:39:28.720 --> 00:39:34.320
i can tell they're like helping the kids little kids trying to do it and in my head i was just like

361
00:39:34.320 --> 00:39:39.040
you know what i'm just gonna do something awesome to do it because they probably do a better job

362
00:39:39.040 --> 00:39:46.720
than me trying to explain this to the kids so um i use i of course i improved my body language

363
00:39:46.720 --> 00:39:52.000
than the Spanish and i was able to teach them how to do it just by showing them and then getting

364
00:39:52.000 --> 00:39:56.560
them the tool and they were just feels so like they were shocking in the beginning that like i

365
00:39:56.560 --> 00:40:02.160
tell them what to do and then they started doing it and then i saw them like doing such a

366
00:40:02.160 --> 00:40:07.200
better job than me like to serve the kids to serve the community and in the end they were able

367
00:40:07.200 --> 00:40:13.440
even just tell the kids what we are doing so at the end like i sneak a couple of the gift i just

368
00:40:13.440 --> 00:40:20.880
acknowledge that the gift to the teacher and actually thank um damn for helping me to translate

369
00:40:20.880 --> 00:40:26.560
i was just telling them like i see so much in them they're so capable and they can do so much

370
00:40:26.560 --> 00:40:32.320
than what they think they can do and i feel like there's just a lot of us that we don't we don't

371
00:40:32.320 --> 00:40:37.120
know that we can actually do so much and we just need someone in our life to tell us that

372
00:40:37.120 --> 00:40:43.280
god has already gifted it to you and you can do that completely you're capable because of god so

373
00:40:43.280 --> 00:40:52.000
yeah awesome thank you sherry it's beautiful to see how the lord moves through the the kids and

374
00:40:53.440 --> 00:40:58.000
you know if any of you've ever worked with kids or have kids you just see what a gift it is to

375
00:40:58.000 --> 00:41:05.760
see Jesus through through their eyes um so glad will you come up and share i love i love your

376
00:41:05.760 --> 00:41:14.560
testimony of what the lord did thank you yeah uh good morning um this is my first mission strip i've

377
00:41:14.560 --> 00:41:22.960
ever gone um and such a unique experience i will forever treasure um so let me read my notes

378
00:41:25.440 --> 00:41:31.840
um i was doing vbs with the kiddos i enjoyed myself with the kids and activities we were wrapping

379
00:41:31.840 --> 00:41:38.960
up the vbs service i was putting away dust supplies when a kid appears out of nowhere and gives me

380
00:41:38.960 --> 00:41:46.960
very tight hug normally when someone gives me a hug i don't get emotional i just see it as a hug

381
00:41:46.960 --> 00:41:53.840
but this one hit me on a very different level it brought me to two years after i said goodbye to

382
00:41:53.840 --> 00:42:01.920
the girl that gave me a hug i asked god what did that happen after several hours asking god he told me

383
00:42:01.920 --> 00:42:08.240
he was demonstrating his love to me to her i will forever treasure those moments god bless you

384
00:42:09.360 --> 00:42:16.960
awesome thank you lad i i i i just i every time you share that i just love that that testimony of how

385
00:42:16.960 --> 00:42:22.720
you know the lord just in such a just a hug you know i mean just ministered and and and showed his

386
00:42:22.720 --> 00:42:27.520
love um so we've got just a little bit of time left so we're gonna have one more testimony so

387
00:42:27.520 --> 00:42:32.880
luke will you come up in and share hallelujah

388
00:42:36.080 --> 00:42:41.200
glad was my roommate so we had such a good time together he was such a good sport because

389
00:42:41.200 --> 00:42:46.640
everybody in this praise the lord everybody experienced perfect divine health this entire trip

390
00:42:46.640 --> 00:42:56.720
except for me so um big thanks to glad for his patience and his love he loved me through it

391
00:42:59.280 --> 00:43:03.840
but something that was so so impressed in my heart is the same thing kind of want to jump off what

392
00:43:03.840 --> 00:43:08.880
glad was saying because i wasn't in the vbs is it also i didn't develop a relationship with the

393
00:43:08.880 --> 00:43:14.160
children at all but on the last meeting that we had we kind of had this blowout holy ghost

394
00:43:14.160 --> 00:43:17.920
service and it was so cool and all these amazing things happened and then as we were getting on

395
00:43:17.920 --> 00:43:24.640
the bus all the kids came out of the vbs and they started um you know running towards us given us hugs

396
00:43:24.640 --> 00:43:29.040
and and started to say kind of don't leave and i hadn't even talked to any of the kids so i

397
00:43:29.040 --> 00:43:34.000
hadn't built a relationship with any of them um and it was so unusual to see like their their

398
00:43:34.000 --> 00:43:40.320
defenses were so down they were so their hearts were so open to us and i was kind of like what's going

399
00:43:40.320 --> 00:43:47.200
on and and the lord impressed on my heart that they could see Christ in me Christ in us right the

400
00:43:47.200 --> 00:43:52.560
hope of glory you know and i think that's can be so hard for us to believe about ourselves sometimes

401
00:43:52.560 --> 00:43:57.840
that Jesus really is in us and his light is coming out of us it was like moss coming to light they

402
00:43:57.840 --> 00:44:01.840
were grabbing on to us and i was you know because you know you can have all these thoughts about

403
00:44:01.840 --> 00:44:06.080
yourself and but even as Erica was saying we kind of need to get over ourselves and i was just

404
00:44:06.080 --> 00:44:11.600
realizing you know what if these kids can see Jesus in me and are drawn to that and are touched by

405
00:44:11.600 --> 00:44:16.720
that and want more of that then we need to believe that wherever we go just the light of Christ is

406
00:44:16.720 --> 00:44:22.640
coming out of us you know it's not really about us but it's about Jesus in every one of us right and

407
00:44:22.640 --> 00:44:29.280
Jesus enough in in me in us is enough to change the world right that started happening and i

408
00:44:29.440 --> 00:44:36.400
on this trip i saw Jesus in every single person that's here at the front but he's in every single one

409
00:44:36.400 --> 00:44:40.800
of us here so i just want to encourage you believe in the Christ in you in your workplace and wherever

410
00:44:40.800 --> 00:44:45.680
you go know that that light is coming out of you even as those kids were coming up to us even if you

411
00:44:45.680 --> 00:44:50.880
can't see the effect the word says that you know the wind you can't see where it's coming from

412
00:44:50.880 --> 00:44:54.640
or where it's going but you could feel the effect so even if you can't see it you can feel the

413
00:44:54.640 --> 00:45:00.160
effect of the holy ghost in you wherever you go in your life so thank you Lord amen awesome thank

414
00:45:00.160 --> 00:45:08.240
you Luke so as Luke said he was not a part of the vbs but um so i don't know even know if you

415
00:45:08.240 --> 00:45:13.760
knew this but the the end of the lesson and the craft that we did with the kids was making a lantern

416
00:45:13.760 --> 00:45:19.120
talking about how Jesus is the light of the world and how you know we get to go out and be

417
00:45:20.080 --> 00:45:25.520
the light of Jesus everyone so all of the kids you know at the end of the lesson and they made

418
00:45:25.520 --> 00:45:30.800
these you know lantern crafts and it said you know on there that Jesus is the light of the world and

419
00:45:30.800 --> 00:45:36.160
we encourage them to go out and to share that love and so they i didn't even know that but they

420
00:45:36.160 --> 00:45:42.000
took that that literally and did it like seconds after you know they heard that message and received

421
00:45:42.080 --> 00:45:49.120
that um you know from the Lord so um let's just give the Lord another hand for what he did

422
00:45:50.960 --> 00:45:58.640
this week um in Guatemala um worship team if you guys want to come on up I know I missed

424
00:46:05.200 --> 00:46:11.280

428
00:46:36.880 --> 00:46:41.360
that it cannot be hid and it needs to be shared and every facet of your life

429
00:46:42.320 --> 00:46:45.680
I love some of the testimonies because there's a theme that goes among it that

430
00:46:46.240 --> 00:46:51.760
they went to this thing they did the work but now they can't hide it and it has to continue even

431
00:46:51.760 --> 00:46:58.800
though they got back to the state whether you're at the supermarket whether you're at work it doesn't

432
00:46:58.800 --> 00:47:07.280
matter you are carrying some very valuable valuable intel and that's the gospel of Jesus Christ the

433
00:47:07.280 --> 00:47:12.720
good news that there is forgiveness that there is hope that there is healing make sure you share that

434
00:47:13.440 --> 00:47:17.840
