00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: in Sullivan Broadcast Studios. A man who is not what

19
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: he wants to be, but is way grateful that he's

20
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 1: not who he used to be.

21
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 2: Here, thank you, David, David says at the beginning of

22
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 2: the show. Every day he's not who he wants to be,

23
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 2: but he's way grateful he's not who he used to be.

24
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 2: There's never been a more a more true thing said

25
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 2: about yours. Truly, I am so humbled friend. Every single

26
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 2: day I get to come to this microphone and get

27
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 2: to be with you, and increasingly in more and more places.

28
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 2: I was just looking at some new information today in Bismarck,

29
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 2: North Dakota, you're hearing us for the first time. Thank

30
00:01:55,640 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 2: you Bismarck for being there. I was just looking at Lakeview, Arkansas,

31
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 2: which is not far from Fayetteville. Thank you Lakeview for

32
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 2: being there, so grateful. And also in Springfield, Missouri, a

33
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 2: little town that's kind of kind of close to my

34
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 2: heart because I was born there. If Springfield, Missouri wasn't there,

35
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 2: who knows, maybe I wouldn't be here. But thank you Springfield,

36
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 2: Missouri for welcoming home your long lost son. I appreciate

37
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 2: you welcoming us in there as well. And of course

38
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 2: this week we are we've named w PEO in Peoria,

39
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 2: and they have four frequencies. They've got the AM station

40
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:39,239
Speaker 2: and then they've got three FM, smaller power but still

41
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 2: very powerful, and they just blanket everything in the middle

42
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 2: in the south part of Illinois. And I just I

43
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 2: when I see these reports and I didn't know that

44
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 2: they were going to be sending them to me, but

45
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 2: when I see them, it just fills my heart with gratitude,

46
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 2: and I feel so humbled by it. And it's not

47
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 2: like when I was a kid and thought about someday, hopefully,

48
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 2: you know, getting my voice on the air, and having

49
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 2: a whole different host of reasons for being wanting to

50
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 2: be that this is something that I really do see

51
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 2: as a gift from God. I want to be faithful

52
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 2: to Him in the distribution of it and the use

53
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 2: of it. And I want to say thank you again

54
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 2: to Dave Sentrella and Phil Boyce and and Mike Read

55
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 2: and all the people at Salem that believed enough in

56
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 2: us to let this, let this go forward. And I

57
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 2: just we want to be we want to be about

58
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 2: the mission, which is what what's the mission? keV? You

59
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 2: say you want to be about the what is the mission?

60
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 2: The mission is this to take truth to every corner

61
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 2: of the world, to let truth be the kind of

62
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 2: over writing, overarching act of goodness that we give to

63
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 2: the universe around us. Because if we give people truth,

64
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 2: and if we do it in a loving manner, there's

65
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 2: nothing higher that we could do with the time that

66
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 2: we have, and so that's what I want to do

67
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 2: for two hours every day in your life, Monday through Saturday,

68
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 2: and sometimes repeated on Sunday. We want to be bringing

69
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 2: the truth to your to your heart, to your home,

70
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 2: to your heart, to your family, to your life, and

71
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 2: just grateful for all of that. All right. If you've

72
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 2: been listening since we launched on November the twenty fourth

73
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 2: of last year, you know that every month we have

74
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 2: we have mixed it up a little bit, but we

75
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 2: have attempted to use a portion of what we do

76
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 2: here on the air to change the literal world around us.

77
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 2: There are so many people in media and this this

78
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 2: this thing that I'm seeing, you know, play out with

79
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 2: Savannah Gunthri's mom and just the sad the real sadness

80
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 2: that is it play there is exhibited, There is is

81
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:52,359
Speaker 2: just it. It just punches me in the gut. But

82
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 2: the idea that we live in a world where media

83
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 2: is used for a lot of different things, I want

84
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 2: to use. I want to use what God gives us

85
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 2: here to make a difference and to make it tangibly.

86
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 2: And so we've helped liberate slaves, We've helped save the

87
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 2: life of unborn children, we've helped unwed moms, We've done

88
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 2: it in a lot of things in the last sixty days.

89
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 2: But for the next ninety days, we're going to do

90
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 2: something that may be as exciting as I ever get

91
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 2: to be part of anything, because the group that we're

92
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 2: going to be working with is going to be new

93
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 2: to a lot of you. Some of you that listen

94
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 2: to me in New York, you've heard me for years.

95
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 2: You're familiar with the words Food for the Poor. But

96
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 2: there are a lot of other people that are listening

97
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 2: to us that have no clue what Food for the

98
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 2: Poor does or why they exist. And I will just

99
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 2: tell you in my own experience with them. This goes

100
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 2: back I don't know, twenty years. Maybe I mean, I

101
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 2: don't feel that old, but I'm starting to save phrases

102
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 2: like that out of my mouth now on a regular basis.

103
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 2: And I'm like, no, he can't mean. Then I see

104
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 2: my fifteen year old who's taller than me by an

105
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 2: inch and a half. Now I'm like, Okay, maybe it's true.

106
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 2: But here's the thing. Since I met Food for the

107
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 2: Poor twenty something years ago, I have I have just

108
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 2: been continued continually thankful for all the good that they do.

109
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 2: I've been with them in at least two different countries,

110
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 2: maybe more than that. I've seen different aspects of work

111
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 2: that they do, from building homes, to feeding kids, to

112
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 2: installing water purification systems, to operating in some places forms

113
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 2: of schools, to operating churches and in some places widows' homes.

114
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 2: It has just been a miraculous and marvelous thing to

115
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 2: get to know this group called Food for the Poor,

116
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 2: establishing fishing, micro businesses, micro commerce efforts for people that

117
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 2: are trying to support themselves. They they are in essence

118
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 2: to the Latin American and Central America, South America portion

119
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 2: of this country or of this world. World kind of

120
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 2: the equivalent of what people think about when you say

121
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 2: the Red Cross. Here in America, you say Red Cross,

122
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 2: and people immediately think, oh, they do good. They go

123
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,280
Speaker 2: to wherever the disaster is, they help out big time.

124
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 2: It's that way with Food for the Poor. In the

125
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 2: areas that we're talking about, and in Jamaica, for example,

126
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 2: when they had the devastating, you know, a storm that

127
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 2: came across this last year, Food for the Poor was

128
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 2: actually the group that were tapped to kind of be

129
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 2: the clearing house for all of the help and the

130
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 2: relief that they did. So it was it was really

131
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 2: rather remarkable to see. And they do that in the

132
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 2: name of Jesus, like, they don't shrink back from being

133
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 2: about Jesus. When governments like the Jamaica government come to

134
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 2: them and say, can you help us with this? No,

135
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 2: they step up. That's that's the moment where they step

136
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 2: up and they are into their calling at that moment,

137
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 2: maybe more so than any other time. But unlike the

138
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 2: Red Cross, which we primarily think of in terms of

139
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 2: emergencies and situations here, that are, you know, spur of

140
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 2: the moment. With Food for the Poor, it is an

141
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 2: ongoing effort in many of the projects that they have

142
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 2: currently operating because the need is so big. And what

143
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 2: we're going to talk about over the next ninety days

144
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 2: is how seven hundred and let's call it twenty maybe

145
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 2: seven hundred and nineteen somewhere in there children have that

146
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 2: we are aware of that Food for the Poor knows

147
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 2: the name of that, they have a pastor in that

148
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 2: child's life who has identified them as being someone who

149
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 2: is so significantly under the poverty line, who is someone

150
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 2: who's so under the significantly under the cutoff line for

151
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 2: what poverty looks like, what hunger looks like, what starvation

152
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 2: looks like. That there are literally seven hundred and twenty

153
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 2: children that we cannot just give them a bowl of

154
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 2: food in the next cup weeks, but we can actually

155
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 2: feed them for an entire year with one gift that

156
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 2: will provide more than seven hundred meals for them, and

157

Speaker 2: those at and you can actually you can get all

177

Speaker 2: of the how do we Live conversations for every week

178
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,079
Speaker 2: that we do it if you go over there. The

179
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 2: interesting thing about this portion of the show is that

180
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 2: it is probably the most timeless part of the show

181
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 2: because it is the most important part of the show.

182
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 2: We ask the big question. We don't ask the big

183
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 2: questions enough. We asked the big questions here. How do

184
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 2: we live? How do we live in a culture that

185
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,559
Speaker 2: despises God, that has no use for his word, that

186
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 2: thinks those of us that he need his word and

187
00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 2: depend on him and lean into him. There's something wrong

188
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 2: with us? So does that change our mission? Does it

189
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 2: change what we're about? Does it change anything that we

190
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 2: should be thinking or doing in our lives. That's why

191
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 2: we want to ask this question every single day. Doctor

192
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 2: Richard Caldwell, it's back with us. He is the lead

193
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 2: pastor at Founder's Baptist Church in Houston and Richard. Yesterday

194
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 2: we started a discussion in First John chapter three and

195
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 2: just the first three verses there. But there's a lot

196
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 2: in these three short verses.

197
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 5: There certainly is.

198
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 7: And as you'll be with you again today, Kevin, you

199
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 7: know you mentioned a moment ago why question.

200
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 5: I love what you're doing here. I love the segment because.

201
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 7: The Bible provides us for us over and over again,

202
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 7: not just telling us how to live, but telling us why,

203
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 7: giving us explanations for the very things that we're facing.

204
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 7: And you mentioned the hostility that we all face as

205
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 7: believers from the culture.

206
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 5: It doesn't matter where you're living in the world. This

207
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 5: is true.

208
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 7: And if you ask why why is there such hostility,

209
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 7: the Bible provides the answer, and it has to do

210
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 7: with the difference between what we were by nature when

211
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 7: we were born into the world in sin Ephesian chapter two,

212
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 7: and what we are now because of the new nature,

213
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 7: because God has saved us.

214
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 5: There's such a change that has occurred.

215
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 7: It actually makes us aliens and strangers and pilgrims in

216
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 7: this world on our way to our heavenly city, to

217
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 7: everlasting life. In the presence of our Savior, and John

218
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 7: in verses one three three sort of walks us through

219
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 7: the logic of that. And so if you don't mind,

220
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 7: that's what I'd like to do here for just a

221
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 7: second and just walk us through verse one, in the

222
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 7: first part of verse two, and just note eight different

223
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 7: ways that John describes who we are now in Christ.

224
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 7: And the very first thing that's amazing to me is

225
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 7: he verse one. It begins with an imperative. The verse

226
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 7: is this, see how great a love the Father has

227
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 7: stowed on us, that we would be called children of God?

228
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 5: And such we are for.

229
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 7: This reason the world does not know us, because it

230
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 7: did not know him. Then verse two begins, beloved, now

231
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 7: we are children of God, and it has not yet

232
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 7: appeared as yet what we will be. We know that

233
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,839
Speaker 7: when he appears, we will be like him, because we

234
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 7: will see him just as he is.

235
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 3: Well.

236
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 7: The very first word of verse one is see, and

237
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 7: that's an imperative.

238
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 5: And so we're commanded.

239
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 7: By our God to take note of what he has

240
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 7: done in our case. I mean, it's important that we

241
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 7: keep our minds eye on who we are now in Christ, Jesus,

242
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 7: and specifically we're commanded to take note of the love

243
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,199
Speaker 7: that God has bestowed upon us by making us his

244
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:48,679
Speaker 7: spiritual children. We are commanded to remember how God has

245
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 7: loved us. And the second thing he points out is

246
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 7: that this is astounding. We're to marvel at it. He says,

247
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:00,040
Speaker 7: see how great a love the Father has bestowed on it?

248
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 5: How great a love? The ESV translates that.

249
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 7: What kind of see what kind of love the Father

250
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 7: has bestowed upon us? And it actually translates a Greek

251
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 7: word that literally means from what country? James Montgomery, boys,

252
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 7: who are my favorite expositors, He said this, He said,

253
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 7: hear the phrase how great literally behold of what country?

254
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 7: Implies great astonishment, as if the love of God is

255
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 7: so unparalleled in human experience that John cannot even tell

256
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 7: from what country it comes.

257
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 2: It's otherworldly.

258
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 5: Literally, it's otherworldly. It's beyond explanation.

259
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 2: Well, and that's one of the reasons why there's another

260
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 2: word in that same phrase. And I know that King

261
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 2: James and the NASB use the word bestow, but the

262
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 2: nivy it's translated lavish, And we don't use that kind

263
00:14:55,360 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 2: of effervescent descriptor of love very often in our culture,

264
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 2: her in our lives. But that is that is literally

265
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 2: like I just it's it's so it's it's so engulfing,

266
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 2: it's so enormous, it's so that, and it's he can't

267
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 2: just give us a little bit of it. He lavishes

268
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 2: it on us.

269
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 7: I love that, Kevin. That's a great that's a great insight.

270
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 7: And in fact, that word you're mentioning, they're bestowed or lavished.

271
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 7: It is the third thing about this love we've been given,

272
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 7: it's undeserved. God has has lavished it or given it,

273
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 7: bestowed it upon us, not explained by us, explained by

274
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 7: his grace, explained by mercy. Salvation is a free gift,

275
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 7: not earned, deserved, merited. It's a matter of of the

276
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 7: the all sufficient, finished work of Jesus Christ, received by

277
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 7: faith alone. And so it's an undeserved position that we have,

278
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 7: and it's infinitely high. It says that we would be

279
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 7: called children of God. Look behold, take note of how

280
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 7: great a love the Father bestowed on us. That we

281
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 7: would be called children of God. And there's no higher title.

282
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 7: I mean, imagine being the child of a king, an

283
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 7: earthly king. Well, God's people, we're children of the Everlasting King,

284
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 7: the King of kings, and so there's no higher title,

285
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 7: there's no higher privileges. But what really dawn on me

286
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 7: is I study this is there's also no higher contrast

287
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 7: to what we were by nature. Ephesians two says we

288
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 7: were by nature children of wrath, that is, by virtue

289
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 7: of who we are from birth, we deserve the wrath

290
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 7: of God. We deserve hell. And now we are God's children.

291
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 7: What a contrast from a child of the devil belonging

292
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 7: to the domain of darkness.

293
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 5: Using the language of calautions.

294
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 7: Now I've been transferred into the kingdom of God's son,

295
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 7: and I'm actually a child of God, a joint heir

296
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 7: with Jesus Christ.

297
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 5: And John is saying, take note of this, don't don't don't,

298
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 5: don't forget this.

299
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 7: But the best part of all are the next words,

300
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 7: he says, and such we are our position is real.

301
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 7: So what's most wonderful and astounding about all of this

302
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,919
Speaker 7: is it's not imagination. It's not just some sort of

303
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 7: positive thinking that believers put ourselves into.

304
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 5: It's not pretend. It's not a way to cope.

305
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 7: It is absolute reality for everyone who knows Jesus. In fact,

306
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 7: he says in the first part of verse two beloved.

307
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:35,160
Speaker 7: Now we are children of God. So our position is real.

308
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 7: Now the next part, Kevin gets to the the issue

309
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,400
Speaker 7: that you point out every time you come to this segment,

310
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 7: and that is why.

311
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:44,719
Speaker 5: The hostility, why the difficulty.

312
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 7: Well, the next thing John tells us is our position

313
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 7: is alienating. What God has done in us has now

314
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 7: alienated us from the lost and dying world in which

315
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 7: we were saved out of it, and we live, he says,

316
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 7: for this reason into birth one. For this reason, the

317
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 7: world does not know us because it did not know him.

318
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,479
Speaker 7: And so, just as our Lord came from another realm,

319
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,919
Speaker 7: from Heaven, born of a virgin, taken to himself an

320
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 7: additional nature, a real but sinless human nature, to save

321
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 7: his people from their sins, just as Christ came from

322
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 7: another realm, now we belong to another realm. Our citizenship

323
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 7: is in heaven. And so our thinking has changed, Our

324
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 7: affections have changed, our ambitions have changed, our behaviors have changed,

325
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 7: our standards have changed. Everything about what God has done

326
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 7: in his people now makes us.

327
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 5: Different from the world around us.

328
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 7: And as you pointed out yesterday, this doesn't mean we're

329
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 7: divorced from the present age.

330
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 5: We don't check out of it.

331
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,919
Speaker 7: We fully engage it, but now as an all together

332
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:52,919
Speaker 7: different people.

333
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 5: I love what John MacArthur said about this. He said,

334
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 5: the real aliens in the.

335
00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 7: World are not extraterrestrials at Christians.

336
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 5: I love that.

337
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 7: I mean, you hear a lot of talk these days

338
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 7: about aliens. Right, We're the aliens. We're the ones who

339
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 7: don't really belong in a very real sense. He goes honestly,

340
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 7: having been born again, given a new nature of heavenly origin,

341
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,919
Speaker 7: Christians display a nature and lifestyle like their Savior and

342
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:25,920
Speaker 7: heavenly Father, a nature totally foreign otherworldly to the unsaved.

343
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:27,959
Speaker 5: So that explains the hostility.

344
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 7: Why doesn't the world understands, Well, it didn't understand our savior.

345
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 5: And it's actually a great mercy.

346
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 7: This is all we're able to rejoice, the Bible teaches

347
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 7: us when we suffer persecution.

348
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,400
Speaker 5: I mean, there's no greater evidence.

349
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 7: That the Lord has has radically transformed your life than

350
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,879
Speaker 7: that you no longer are understood by a lost and

351
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:49,639
Speaker 7: dying world.

352
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,439
Speaker 2: Well, but also a great on that note, we're going

353
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,159
Speaker 2: to need to kind of draw these thoughts today to

354
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 2: a close. But friends, so much good stuff in here,

381
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 2: And I'm very, very touched already those of you hearing

382
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 2: what we're doing, several of you have stepped up. We've

383
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 2: already it's seven hundred and twenty children. There have already

384
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 2: been ten of those children spoken for for the rest

385
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 2: of for the rest of the year. So thank you

386
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 2: to those of you who have done that. Thank you

387
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 2: for stepping up, Thank you for being part of the solution.

388
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 2: Now what are you talking about, keV, Well, bring in

389
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 2: my friend Danny Patino, who was joining us live via

390
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 2: the Magic of Technology from the world headquarters of Food

391
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 2: for the Poor in in Florida. And Danny, it's it's

392
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 2: it's it's encouraging to me to know that we barely

393
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 2: even started talking about this and and ten kids are

394
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 2: gonna they're gonna eat every day for the next year,

395
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 2: two meals a day, and have clean drinking water right

396
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 2: out of the shoot. We've already solved that problem for

397
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 2: ten of those seven hundred and twenty kids. Uh, and

398
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 2: that means there's seven hundred and ten to seven hundred

399
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,880
Speaker 2: and ten to go. Let's get that number under seven

400
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,199
Speaker 2: hundred this hour as quickly as we can. Let's have

401
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 2: another ten kids taking care of seventy five dollars per child,

402
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 2: will feed them two meals a day and then give

403
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 2: them clean drinking water for the foreseeable future. But Danny,

404
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 2: for people that don't know anything about Food for the Poor,

405
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 2: introduce yourself and your organization to a brand new audience.

406
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,159
Speaker 9: Well, first of all, thank you for having us, Kevin,

407
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 9: And definitely I want to give a quick shout out

408
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:04,399
Speaker 9: before I get into that to Sherry that's listening on

409
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 9: the app there in California, and Mary that's listened to

410
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 9: us in Washington as well. She jumped in and said,

411
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 9: I'm going to take care of two children for an

412
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 9: entire year. And that's what we're doing on this day

413
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 9: of Hope with here on the on that Kevin show,

414
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 9: which is we're providing a prayer being answered to mothers

415
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,399
Speaker 9: right now in Latin America and the Caribbean. Fifteen of

416
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 9: those countries, to be exact, the Food for the Poor

417
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 9: serves in we're answering those prayers of one more meal,

418
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 9: just one more meal for my children, where that meal

419
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 9: doesn't come from a garbage dump, Where that meal doesn't

420
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:38,160
Speaker 9: come from just a handful of rice, or just one

421
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:41,160
Speaker 9: egg to be distributed through four members of a family.

422
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 9: That's the life that these folks say, one rag, one

423
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 9: egg between a family. We've heard stories, how.

424
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 2: How do you even cut that up? Like so like

425
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 2: my kids, my science son would be like Dad, how

426
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,120
Speaker 2: does that even? Do? They hard boil it and then

427
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 2: literally like forth it in fourths? I mean, and to

428
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 2: think what would one little strip of a boiled egg

429
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 2: mean to your day? Like if that's all the food

430
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 2: that you got.

431
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 9: That day, well that's the only thing you've had in

432
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 9: a couple of days.

433
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 3: That meal is the best meal you're gonna have.

434
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 9: And to you and I, that's probably not enough because

435
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:14,919
Speaker 9: we've had bigger meals. We've had a lunch, we've had

436
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,640
Speaker 9: a breakfast, we've had meals all throughout the week, and.

437
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 3: We know that there's more coming next week.

438
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 9: Well, the families that we're helping out today, those don't

439
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 9: have that kind of luxury. And I keep saying luxury

440
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 9: because that's a luxury for us. That's a necessity. That's

441
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,479
Speaker 9: a basic necessity for these families. And to not know

442
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 9: where your next meal is coming from, that's a that's

443
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:38,159
Speaker 9: not a day dream, that's a nightmare that these families

444
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 9: are going through. And again, a handful of rice and

445
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 9: one egg is where it is right now for these families.

446
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 9: So to distribute one egg, Yeah, these mothers out of

447
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,920
Speaker 9: necessity become the best inventors because they know how to

448
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 9: how to get that egg and distribute it through a

449
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 9: two or three or four children at that And then also,

450
00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 9: of course I'm a parent myself. Sometimes you got to

451
00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 9: ea yourself right, you can't go without eating.

452
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 3: And then provide for your children.

453
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,640
Speaker 9: Well, that's where we are right now, and that's why

454
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 9: Food for the Poor has been around for forty three years.

455
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 9: We started out in Jamaica, then gravitated over to Haiti,

456
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 9: and then now we're at fifteen countries throughout Latin America

457
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,640
Speaker 9: and the Caribbean, trying to break that cycle of poverty,

458
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,640
Speaker 9: break that cycle of poverty that seems to be in

459
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 9: every generation that these folks are living in and at

460
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 9: the same time transform these folks out of that cycle

461
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,479
Speaker 9: into a reality that you and I know, which is

462
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 9: going back to work, going to schooling for children, having

463
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:41,879
Speaker 9: a childhood that looks like a childhood, children playing, children laughing,

464
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 9: not having to be in and out of clinics because

465
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 9: of water that's making them sick, or because of malnutrition,

466
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 9: or because of not enough adequate both. So the fact

467
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 9: that right now you can step into those lives and

468
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 9: tell these moms, tell these dads, tell these tell these children.

469
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 3: Got you covered. Don't worry about it.

470
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:03,159
Speaker 9: You're gonna get to eat two meals a day, at

471
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 9: least two meals a day for three hundred and sixty

472
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,919
Speaker 9: five days. And that water that's making you sick, well,

473
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 9: don't worry about that. We're going to take care of

474
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 9: that for you as well, with safe water that you

475
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 9: can use to drink, to eat, to bathe. So you

476
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 9: go to the bathroom, the dignity of having a bathroom

477
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 9: in your home versus having to go to what used

478
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 9: to be an outhouse for you and I way back when.

479
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,640
Speaker 9: Now now technology has helped us get to a way

480
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,919
Speaker 9: better place, a toilet that we can flush, and we

481
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 9: know where that's going to be. Well for these families, folks,

482
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 9: that's not the option. It's either going you know, doing

483
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:40,640
Speaker 9: your stuff somewhere outside and having to use a bucket,

484
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,160
Speaker 9: things like that, and that's that's where we are right now.

485
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,919
Speaker 9: We want to break that cycle of poverty what we

486
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 9: call it, and get them back into our future, which

487
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 9: is a very near future for them, which you.

488
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 3: Still wage their lives.

489
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,679
Speaker 2: For the families that we're talking about and friends, I

490
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 2: want you to I want you to think picture this,

491
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 2: if you will. A child that's not going to eat

492
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 2: anything for the next day or two, if they don't

493
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,679
Speaker 2: find it rummaging through a trash pile or find it

494
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 2: in some other way of scrounging. But instead of replacing

495
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 2: that kind of fruitless search with a literal hot bowl

496
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:19,159
Speaker 2: of food, rice beans, other things that can be prepared.

497
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 2: I've actually prepared some of the food with food for

498
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,159
Speaker 2: the poor. They trusted me enough to sit in the

499
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 2: serving line one day on one of my visits to

500
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:28,400
Speaker 2: the countries and to see the hearts of these kids

501
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 2: just express such gratitude for something simple that you and

502
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 2: I anyway, we're gonna help seven hundred and ten more

503
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 2: kids eight five, five, nine oh seven, four six seven three,

504
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:41,879
Speaker 2: eight five five nine zero seven four six seven three

505
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 2: and some very exciting news when we come back. Don't

506
00:27:44,840 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 2: go anywhere. It's Kevin mccallaugh, that Kevin Show.

507
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 1: Here, he is from New York, that Kevin Kevin mcomough

508
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 1: that Kevin Show.

509
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:19,120
Speaker 2: Eight five five nine zero seven four six seven three

510
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 2: eight five five nine zero seven four six seven three.

511
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 2: We're asking you to help us feed some children that

512
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 2: are gonna die if they don't get some healthy food.

513
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,680
Speaker 2: But imagine being the parent that has to decide who

514
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 2: gets to eat.

515
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 10: That day walked into this wretched little shack. Inside we

516
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 10: saw mother totally with her face showed every line of

517
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 10: suffering possible of a mother who feels frustrated because she

518
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 10: can't feed her children. She had two children in the

519
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 10: shack with her. There was a four year old who

520
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 10: was actually eating a handful of rice, and the seven

521
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,719
Speaker 10: year old who was standing there looking very woefully at

522
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 10: his little brother who was eating. And we said to

523
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 10: the seven year old old, how come you're not eating also?

524
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 10: And he said to us today, it's not my turn

525
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 10: to eat. Can you imagine the pain and a mother

526
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 10: to have to tell one of her children today it's

527
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 10: not your turn to eat. Perhaps tomorrow to have that

528
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 10: complete food and security where you cannot plan even one

529
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 10: day in advance for a meal for your children.

530
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 2: That has to break a mother's heart. Friends, I don't

531
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 2: know about you, and I certainly don't know what it

532
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 2: is like to be a parent in the poor countries

533
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 2: of Central and South America. But I will tell you

534
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 2: there's nothing about that story that does not give me

535
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 2: anything but complete overwhelming gratitude to my heavenly father for

536
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 2: the way. I've never had to make that decision for

537
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 2: my own child. I've never had to wonder am I

538
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 2: going to be able to feed him but not her?

539
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 2: Or those two, but not that one. That's not something

540
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 2: I've ever had to wrestle with. But Danny Patino a

541
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 2: Food for the Poor, the story that on hell Aaloma,

542
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 2: the former director of Food with the Poor, who's utest

543
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 2: since retired, was telling us right there, that's that's a

544
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 2: common choice that parents in in the countries that Food

545
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 2: for the Poor works in have to make on a

546
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 2: regular basis. Is it not?

547
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 3: It is?

548
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 9: And and I want you to focus again on that

549
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 9: audio piece there, that that's silence after his turn. That's

550
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 9: that's not patients, folks, that's just resignation. That that's a

551
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 9: seven year old that shouldn't understand food rationing. Okay, he

552
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 9: should understand sharing, he should understand enough. Or right now,

553
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 9: he's just understanding scarcity. And he understands that love doesn't

554
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 9: always translate to full bellies, and and that a mother's

555
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 9: hug that's not going to replace some meal, folks. And

556
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 9: and here's what happens in that waiting, Hunger becomes normal,

557
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:05,959
Speaker 9: emptiness becomes expected, and the child grows up thinking this

558
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 9: is how life is.

559
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 3: This is the truth. And folks, it doesn't have to

560
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 3: be that way.

561
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 9: And right now in Guatemala and Honduras, in Haiti, that's

562
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 9: three out of the fifteen countries that we serve. In children,

563
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 9: they're watching their simpling's eat a handful of rice, but

564
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 9: they're learning to be grateful for their turn, not necessarily

565
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 9: the meal. And they're building their childhoods around absence instead

566
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 9: of abundance. And the parents too, I'm a parent of

567
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 9: to myself and that reality. I don't think I've ever

568
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 9: had I get a chance to grabs. They're having to watch,

569
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 9: to calculate, they're having to make that impossible choice. If

570
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 9: I eat less today, well they can eat more tomorrow,

571
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 9: and some of these folks have told us, some of

572
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 9: these parents have told us, we cry in a private

573
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 9: room so our children.

574
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 3: Don't see us cry.

575
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 9: And here's what changes everything, folks saying normal waiting someone

576
00:31:56,840 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 9: deciding that that childhood should not include hunger. And this

577
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 9: is where you come in, folks. This is where a

578
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 9: simple choice does become that profound change. And again, like

579
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 9: you mentioned, our goal is seven hundred and twenty kids.

580
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 9: Well imagine the parents of those children right now being

581
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 9: able to breathe because they're going.

582
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 3: To get a meal today, tomorrow, and the next day.

583
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 2: Yeah. And I want to just report some really good news.

584
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 2: So in the first part of the show, I got

585
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 2: word that because we've been doing this on the air

586
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 2: in New York for a long long time, and those

587
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 2: of you that are listening to the rest of the country,

588
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 2: you're joining us this year for the first time, but

589
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 2: we got word that every single child we can feed

590
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 2: for the rest of today's show is going to be

591
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 2: matched child for child, play to food, for play to food.

592
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 2: So let me tell you what that means. If it

593
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 2: costs seventy five dollars to feed a child for the

594
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 2: entire year and give them clean drinking water and friends.

595
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 2: I don't know if you've thought about this, how much

596
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 2: do you pay for a bottle of poland spring at

597
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 2: the grocery store or at the drug store? Like it's

598
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 2: like two bucks something now like the cheapest ones, at

599
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 2: least it is here in the Northeast. There may be

600
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 2: other places where it's less, but still that's a couple

601
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 2: of bucks for every eight ounces or sixteen ounces of water.

602
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 2: That's a lot of money. So to give them unlimited

603
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 2: drinking water that is pure and free of germs and

604
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 2: not going to harm them. But then on top of that,

605
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 2: to add not one like a lot of relief agencies

606
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 2: they pull up and they go, Okay, we're the big

607
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 2: guys here. We're going to feed everybody. And then they

608
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 2: give them one meal for the day and that's it.

609
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 2: Food for the Poor knows that if you're going to

610
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 2: really help kids, you've got to give them more nutritious food,

611
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 2: and you've got to give it to them a little

612
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 2: more often. So with the Food for the Poor program,

613
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 2: it's two meals a day, and in some places it's

614
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 2: actual delivery of those groceries to a mom's home that's

615
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 2: in a very remote region and hard to get to,

616
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 2: but done by a pastor, I might add. Or it's

617
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:58,480
Speaker 2: kids coming to a feeding center where they twice a

618
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 2: day fire up the ovens and the and the stoves.

619
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 2: And I got to serve in one of these big,

620
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 2: big big pots of rice and beans, and you fill

621
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 2: up the plates and you just keep going until you

622
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 2: run out. And boy, these some of these kids. I mean,

623
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:15,360
Speaker 2: you talk about the seven year old who said, and

624
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 2: it's not my turn to eat today, his four year

625
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:20,800
Speaker 2: old brother got to eat. I would see the older sibling,

626
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,280
Speaker 2: usually of three or four, that would come up, and

627
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:26,880
Speaker 2: he would get the first plate, he'd give it to

628
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 2: the littlest one and send them on their way. Then

629
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 2: he'd get the next one, he give it to the

630
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 2: next littlest one, and then and then he would take

631
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:34,840
Speaker 2: the last one for his family, but only if the

632
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:37,919
Speaker 2: other three, you know, got theirs first. That's these kids

633
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 2: are so grateful. They have such immense gratitude for what's

634
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 2: happening here, and it just they wouldn't be able to

635
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 2: eat any other way. So here's what I want you

636
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 2: to do. I want you to ask yourself, can I

637
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:52,400
Speaker 2: do the maximum good for what we need? Done right now.

638
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:55,240
Speaker 2: Not just can I do something good and give a gift,

639
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:58,760
Speaker 2: but if you give it now, it's going to be matched.

640
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,400
Speaker 2: If you give it now, twis the number of children

641
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 2: will eat because you gave it now, and through the

642
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 2: rest of today's show, that match is in effect. So

643
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 2: can you do the maximum good now? Here's the phone

644
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:15,040

646
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 2: children that remain fed. I'm on a mission. I want

647
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 2: to feed all seven hundred and ten of these kids

648
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 2: as fast as we can because we'll be feeding them

649
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 2: for the next year. But how quickly can we get

Speaker 8: Stick around for more of that, Kevin the next.

658
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 6: Serving it up with a no drink mittal. It's that

659
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:06,320
Speaker 6: cabin show.

660
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:09,359
Speaker 2: All right, friends. That number is eight five five nine

661
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:12,799
Speaker 2: zero seven for six seven three. How many children can

662
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:16,320
Speaker 2: we rescue this hour. We we've got a matching challenge

663
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:18,799
Speaker 2: in play. Someone's gonna come up and match everything we do,

664
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 2: and I want to maximize that opportunity to do the

665
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 2: most good possible eight five five nine oh seven for

666
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:26,840
Speaker 2: six seven three eight five five nine zero seven for

667
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:34,320
Speaker 2: six seven three. All right. For whatever reason, the audio

668
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 2: that I anticipated playing there is not playing so well.

669
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:40,400
Speaker 2: We'll come back to that. But what we were going

670
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:44,240
Speaker 2: to do right there, Danny Patino was tell the story

671
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 2: of chauvelin uh. And this is one of those moms

672
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:49,839
Speaker 2: that you guys, and I want to say to your

673
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:52,520
Speaker 2: credit and to let kind of brag on you guys

674
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:54,719
Speaker 2: to my audience. Food for the Poor is not one

675
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 2: of these groups that just sits in the US and

676
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 2: you know, stays in its building and twiddles its fingers

677
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 2: or anything like. You guys go to the field constantly,

678
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 2: quality controlling the process, making sure that the pastors that

679
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 2: you're working with have all the resources that they need.

680
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:13,320
Speaker 2: You set up your entire delivery system not through in

681
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 2: goos or through government programs, but through networks of pastors

682
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 2: because they are the reliable, trusted leaders in their communities.

683
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 2: And this is how this is one of the ways

684
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 2: that food for the poor ensures that what we give

685
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:28,239
Speaker 2: to actually happens.

686
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 9: Yeah, we're stepping up our our forty fourth year trying

687
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 9: to break this cycle of poverty, transforming lives in Latin

688
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:38,280
Speaker 9: America and the Caribbean in fifteen countries, to be exact,

689
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:41,080
Speaker 9: and we can only do that by vetting our partners,

690
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:45,319
Speaker 9: trusting people with this idea of or this mission of

691
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 9: relieving poverty and getting the folks the help they need

692
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 9: right away.

693
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 3: And I wanted to talk about Chauvelein. Chauvelin was a twelve.

694
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:55,800
Speaker 9: Year old girl we met in Haiti and her morning

695
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:58,920
Speaker 9: routine is in breakfast and homework. Like most of our children,

696
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 9: it's a law walk to a muddy river. And we

697
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 9: asked her what does it taste like? What does that

698
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:07,360
Speaker 9: water taste like? Well, she says it tastes like mud.

699
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:10,279
Speaker 9: I mean, it was a simple answer. But we don't

700
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:12,440
Speaker 9: drink that kind of water. We don't know what that's like.

701
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 9: And she is living in that that's to her reality.

702
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 9: And she she mentioned to us it gives her a

703
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:20,399
Speaker 9: stomach ache and she knows it isn't safe. And at

704
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 9: twelve years old, folks, she's already choosing between dehydration and illness,

705
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:30,359
Speaker 9: and she chooses illness because I'm not gonna die of dehydration,

706
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 9: but because it means, it leads, it means to survival,

707
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:37,359
Speaker 9: and that walk is more than carrying water, and it's

708
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:39,880
Speaker 9: carrying loss of hours, hours that she should be spent

709
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:42,879
Speaker 9: learning being a beautiful little girl, and those hours should

710
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 9: be spent playing, and those are slowly, slowly getting subtracted

711
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 9: from her future.

712
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 2: We don't have no no.

713
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 3: I wanted to talk, I wanted to put you there.

714
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 2: But yeah, and that is exactly friends. The mindset. It's

715
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:01,279
Speaker 2: so foreign, by the way, to what we wake up to.

716
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 2: I mean, Daniel, you're in Florida, so he didn't have

717
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 2: this this weekend, but everybody here in the Tri state

718
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 2: area we complained about how frozen we were and how cold,

719
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:14,240
Speaker 2: and I was thinking about just on my lawn alone,

720
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:17,239
Speaker 2: twenty eight inches of snow that hasn't moved in three

721
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:19,920
Speaker 2: weeks that could be melted down into a lot of

722
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 2: really clean drinking water, but we don't need it. And

723
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:26,359
Speaker 2: we complain about the stuff that we have that we

724
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 2: probably should be more grateful for. And so as you

725
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 2: hear the story of Chauvelin, as you hear the story

726
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 2: of the seven year old boy who can't eat because

727
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 2: it's not his turn, it's not his day. He doesn't

728
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 2: get to eat that day. Friends, this is why Food

729
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 2: for the Poor and I've never worked with a group

730
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:46,480
Speaker 2: that I've loved doing this with more than them. They

731
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 2: are the very best as far as I'm concerned. But

732
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:52,759
Speaker 2: you can absolutely trust every dollar that's going and you

733
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 2: can trust that it's going to go to what we

734
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 2: are talking about. We are feeding children every day two

735
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:01,400
Speaker 2: meals a day. That's seven one hundred plus meals in

736
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six, and as much clean drinking water as

737
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:07,920
Speaker 2: they can consume. Friends, that for seventy five dollars for

738
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:11,239
Speaker 2: one child. For that you can't you can't match that.

739
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:13,879
Speaker 2: That's a value beyond value. And now, right now, through

740
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 2: the end of today's show, every single child we care

741
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:19,800
Speaker 2: for is going to be matched by a private friend

742
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 2: of Food for the Poor. Just wanting to challenge you

743
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 2: to do better? Can we do? Can we do an

744
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:28,239
Speaker 2: amazing thing in the rest of this show today and

745
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:30,360
Speaker 2: get as many of these children cared for as possible?

746
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 2: Eight five, five, nine oh seven four six seven, three

747
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 2: hour two on the way.

748
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:51,320
Speaker 1: Somewhere in the bowels of the City that Never sleeps.

00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 2: The only thing that could be greater, of course, would

00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 2: be that Donald Show. But we don't have that.

00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:30,880
Speaker 2: who I am as a person and what I do

777
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 2: as a dad and all those types of things. But

778
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:36,560
Speaker 2: I am so so much more grateful that I am

779
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 2: not who I once was. I'm not where I want

780
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 2: to be, but I'm so grateful I'm not where I

781
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:43,759
Speaker 2: used to be. And that's the beauty of grace. In

782
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:47,879
Speaker 2: the life of a follower of Jesus. You can look

783
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:51,279
Speaker 2: at every single day that you walk through when you

784
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 2: can say to yourself, thank you, thank you Lord for

785
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 2: not letting me still be who I was then. And

786
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:02,439
Speaker 2: we're not. We're not going to be in this life

787
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:06,239
Speaker 2: on this planet in this time. We're not going to

788
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:09,919
Speaker 2: be the fully sanctified person that we will be when

789
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:14,360
Speaker 2: we are in the presence of Jesus forever. That complete

790
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:18,319
Speaker 2: and full and total sanctification doesn't happen until the other

791
00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:22,640
Speaker 2: side of leaving this world and joining that one. But

792
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:26,880
Speaker 2: by knowing His son, you can begin to see tangible

793
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 2: sanctification happen, sometimes even to your own mystery, sometimes even

794
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 2: to your own surprise. And I have that happen all

795
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 2: the time. I have things come into my mind that

796
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:40,160
Speaker 2: I would have never thought about previously, and then all

797
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:43,080
Speaker 2: of a sudden, it's where did that come from? That

798
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:47,040
Speaker 2: came from the Holy Spirit at work in my heart,

799
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 2: in my mind at a time when I was open

800
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:54,800
Speaker 2: to it. And before we know Jesus, before we walk

801
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:58,319
Speaker 2: with Jesus, before we are redeemed by Jesus, before we

802
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:00,880
Speaker 2: give our life to him, we have no clue what

803
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 2: that's like. We can't we can't conjure it up in

804
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:07,760
Speaker 2: our own efforts. There's no way that we can create

805
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:13,680
Speaker 2: it apart from Him. So to say, uh, he's he's

806
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:15,960
Speaker 2: not what he wants to be, but he's so grateful.

807
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:18,239
Speaker 2: He's not who he used to be. That is such

808
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:21,680
Speaker 2: an understatement of what God has done in my life

809
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 2: and I and I want to live every day now

810
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 2: with you here. Just got to call last hour for

811
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:29,279
Speaker 2: somebody from California that called the show and just said, Hey,

812
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:33,279
Speaker 2: I just love the show, keV. Thanks, I'm humbled by that.

813
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:34,960
Speaker 2: I want to I want to I want to meet

814
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:37,120
Speaker 2: you where you are. I want to be a friend

815
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:39,560
Speaker 2: in your life. I want to walk through this next

816
00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:42,799
Speaker 2: stage of life together, and I want to do so

817
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 2: earning every bit of your trust along the way. It's

818
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:48,520
Speaker 2: we're still early in the journey, and there's lots of

819
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:51,640
Speaker 2: new stations coming on board constantly. That I'm just I'm

820
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 2: surprised by my hometown where I was. Well, it's not

821
00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:56,799
Speaker 2: my hometown. I never really lived there. My mom lived

822
00:44:56,800 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 2: there for a while in college. Uh, but spring Missouri.

823
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:05,959
Speaker 2: My mom was a student at the Baptist Bible College there,

824
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:09,600
Speaker 2: and that's as fundamentalist as it sounds like. They didn't

825
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:11,480
Speaker 2: the women couldn't wear pants. I mean it was. It

826
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:14,439
Speaker 2: was one of those places. But I was. She had

827
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:17,239
Speaker 2: me when she was in Springfield, and then I grew

828
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:19,839
Speaker 2: up in Texas. But Springfield, Missouri, you're online now, so

829
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:22,239
Speaker 2: thank you, thank you for coming on board. And our

830
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:26,680
Speaker 2: station of the week is WPEO in Peoria, Illinois. It's

831
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:31,880
Speaker 2: the whole center and southern section of the state. And

832
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:34,920
Speaker 2: they didn't put me on where Eric's show used to be.

833
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:38,400
Speaker 2: It's not that I would have minded. I mean twelve

834
00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 2: to midnight, I mean twelve midnight to two am. I'm

835
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:43,480
Speaker 2: sure Eric was killing it, but they put me on

836
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:47,239
Speaker 2: where Charlie was and so when I got news of that,

837
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:50,240
Speaker 2: I'm like, thank you, Lord, But that's an even bigger

838
00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 2: set of shoes to try to step into. So if

839
00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 2: you're in Peori and you're listening, if you're in Springfield,

840
00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:57,920
Speaker 2: if you're in Bismarck, North Dakota, just some of the

841
00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:00,200
Speaker 2: new places we're in this week, I'm so grateful for

842
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:03,200
Speaker 2: every single one of you, wherever you are. And New York,

843
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:06,440
Speaker 2: I see you too. I didn't forget about you. Tanika

844
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:09,560
Speaker 2: was telling me stories about this weekend at the Enough conference,

845
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:11,480
Speaker 2: and I heard and heard all about how some of

846
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:15,000
Speaker 2: you ladies were asking about the k Meister. Yeah. I

847
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:18,200
Speaker 2: wasn't there, sorry, but I heard that Pastor Jamal and

848
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:21,319
Speaker 2: first Lady Rita did a great job. So and Laura

849
00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 2: and the whole game were there, so and Lady t

850
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 2: was there, so you know, it was all good. This week,

851
00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:29,680
Speaker 2: I'm introducing you to some new friends, and today I'm

852
00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:32,960
Speaker 2: so excited to have them joining me from the international

853
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:35,680
Speaker 2: world headquarters of a group called Food for the Poor.

854
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:38,480
Speaker 2: And it's as impressive as it sounds because they have

855
00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:41,080
Speaker 2: their own broadcast facility. It's like their state of the

856
00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:44,759
Speaker 2: art there. But Paul Jacobs and Danny Patino were back

857
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:47,160
Speaker 2: with us, and Danny got to talk all first hour Paul,

858
00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:49,520
Speaker 2: So I'm kind of thinking you're gonna get like ninety

859
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:53,480
Speaker 2: percent of this hour. But thanks, thanks for jumping in

860
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:54,759
Speaker 2: with us, and thanks for being here.

861
00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:59,960
Speaker 11: I'm just surprised at I'm surprised that Lady T gets

862
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:02,160
Speaker 11: a nickname, but mister P doesn't get a nickname.

863
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:02,920
Speaker 3: I want to be mister J.

864
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:05,680
Speaker 2: I'm never gonna call anybody. I'm not gonna call anybody

865
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:08,920
Speaker 2: mister P. You you actually want to be called mister P.

866
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:13,759
Speaker 2: That's not you probably want to be called doctor J.

867
00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:16,200
Speaker 2: But no, we're not gonna do that either. I don't

868
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:18,440
Speaker 2: think you can jump as high.

869
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:20,399
Speaker 11: Let me tell you, we've known each other long enough

870
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:22,400
Speaker 11: that you can call me anything, because the minute we

871
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:26,560
Speaker 11: get back together, God moves. Because, uh, you know, it's interesting.

872
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:28,759
Speaker 11: I was reminiscing with an old colleague of ours last

873
00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:30,040
Speaker 11: night talking about our days.

874
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:30,840
Speaker 3: When we were in Haiti.

875
00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:33,080
Speaker 11: One of the things that is really striking to me

876
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:35,400
Speaker 11: is and and a lot of people ask the question

877
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:38,239
Speaker 11: what's going on in Haiti with Food for the Poor,

878
00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:41,680
Speaker 11: Because I see everything in the news. You see devastation,

879
00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:44,560
Speaker 11: you see civil unrest. Food for the Poor has never

880
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:47,760
Speaker 11: been stronger. Hey, Danny, we hear you tapping on the microphone.

881
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:49,520
Speaker 11: You can get your set, your turn and second.

882
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:51,720
Speaker 3: Here just just in case I'm still here.

883
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 2: Go ahead, Paul.

884
00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:56,239
Speaker 11: Yeah, No, it's interesting because Food for the Poor is

885
00:47:56,719 --> 00:48:00,560
Speaker 11: has had to adapt. God has given us the grace, pastors,

886
00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:03,399
Speaker 11: ministry partners on the ground to adapt to what we're

887
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:06,080
Speaker 11: doing because regardless of what you see in the news,

888
00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:09,640
Speaker 11: there are still families, there are still children, There are

889
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:13,359
Speaker 11: still schools where those children in those schools must eat,

890
00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:14,400
Speaker 11: and you're.

891
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:15,239
Speaker 3: An answer to that right now.

892
00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:17,319
Speaker 11: And that's where why we're back, biz Mark, That's why

893
00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:20,799
Speaker 11: we're back Peoria and Springfield because you may be hearing

894
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:22,640
Speaker 11: us for the very first time, but there are many

895
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:25,200
Speaker 11: audiences that know that there are tens of thousands of

896
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:28,799
Speaker 11: children that has been helped through this broadcast, and there

897
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:32,040
Speaker 11: are still just over seven hundred children left on our list.

898
00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:34,000
Speaker 3: We need your help to make sure that they get

899
00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:35,239
Speaker 3: access to that food and water.

900
00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:38,120
Speaker 2: That phone number is eight five five nine oh seven

901
00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:40,959
Speaker 2: four six seven three, and you guys can stop fighting

902
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:43,200
Speaker 2: over your microphones now. I think we got everybody on

903
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:46,880
Speaker 2: the right ones. But anyway, Paul, it's good to have

904
00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:48,520
Speaker 2: you back. And for those of you, yeah, that are

905
00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:51,319
Speaker 2: in places where you've not heard Kevin McColl in the past.

906
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:52,920
Speaker 2: I've been working with Food for the Poor. I think

907
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:56,000
Speaker 2: it's going on close to twenty years, maybe even no

908
00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:58,319
Speaker 2: longer than that, because I've been in the New York

909
00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:00,520
Speaker 2: market for nearly twenty four and we were together in

910
00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:03,200
Speaker 2: Chicago before that, so it's been it's been a long

911
00:49:03,239 --> 00:49:06,600
Speaker 2: and fruitful relationship. But here's the thing. I've traveled with

912
00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:09,960
Speaker 2: these guys. I've been to the places where the homes

913
00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:11,799
Speaker 2: have been built. I've been to these places where the

914
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:15,680
Speaker 2: food is dispersed. I've been to the places where the

915
00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:18,719
Speaker 2: clean water systems have gone into place. And there is

916
00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:22,080
Speaker 2: nothing as brighter happy in my memory of all of

917
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:24,520
Speaker 2: my Food for the Poor memories. And I've got stacks

918
00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:27,800
Speaker 2: of photos of where we've been. But I'll never forget

919
00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:31,799
Speaker 2: the time that we went to this brand new kids

920
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:33,880
Speaker 2: school where all the kids were in their cute little

921
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:35,040
Speaker 2: it was a girls' school, and they were all in

922
00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 2: their little cute, little pink dresses, and they were, you know,

923
00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:39,160
Speaker 2: they lined up and they did songs for us. They

924
00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:41,600
Speaker 2: did all this stuff. And when they were done that,

925
00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:43,880
Speaker 2: one of them took me over to the to the

926
00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:46,400
Speaker 2: water system that they had we'd installed there, some of

927
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:49,120
Speaker 2: our listeners had helped contribute to it. And she got

928
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 2: a little glass and she said, mister, and she took

929
00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:55,319
Speaker 2: some big drink and then she wipes her mouth with

930
00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:58,480
Speaker 2: the same hand that she had just drank her drink with,

931
00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:02,880
Speaker 2: and she goes, that's still is s water. And I thought,

932
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:06,560
Speaker 2: how ungrateful a pig am I if I'm not grateful

933
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:08,719
Speaker 2: for the delicious water I have to drink every day.

934
00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:11,480
Speaker 2: And she had to wait her whole life to get that,

935
00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:14,840
Speaker 2: you know, that one little beautiful sip of water. And friends,

936
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:17,120
Speaker 2: we can provide that in so much more for all

937
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:21,360
Speaker 2: the people that are in these seven hundred children's lives

938
00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:22,959
Speaker 2: that we want to we want to try to help

939
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:25,120
Speaker 2: this year. So we're gonna talk more about it and

940
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:28,920

Speaker 2: nine oh seven four six seven three.

946
00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:09,200
Speaker 5: Al Miki, our coleris at school.

947
00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:10,280
Speaker 12: I didn't go to lunch.

948
00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:12,600
Speaker 2: I didn't have anything to take, so I stayed in

949
00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:15,960
Speaker 2: the classroom with my books and I didn't go out.

950
00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:18,560
Speaker 6: I avoided seeing other children eating.

951
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:21,399
Speaker 5: Come on your home, so Lasima, customer, I've.

952
00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:25,040
Speaker 6: Gone accustomed to me, so yeah, and I've learned to

953
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:25,680
Speaker 6: cope with it.

954
00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:33,839
Speaker 2: Learning to cope with being hungry seems like a very,

955
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:39,400
Speaker 2: I don't know, very hard thing to come to understand.

956
00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:43,200
Speaker 2: Paul Jacobs and Danny Patino with Kevin McCullough here on

957
00:51:43,239 --> 00:51:45,799
Speaker 2: that Kevin Show for Today, and guys, I don't think

958
00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:49,279
Speaker 2: that there's anybody that I've never even heard that expression

959
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:53,439
Speaker 2: be said before in American culture, to say that we're

960
00:51:53,440 --> 00:51:58,280
Speaker 2: going to build a tolerance against hunger in our own existence,

961
00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:01,120
Speaker 2: Like that's just it's so foreign to to the mind.

962
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:03,719
Speaker 11: That's what happens when you were a little girl in Honduras,

963
00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:06,759
Speaker 11: where your life is day in and day out, going

964
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:09,480
Speaker 11: with your father to the local garbage dump, a local

965
00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:11,920
Speaker 11: garbage dump where you forge through piles of trash with

966
00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:14,720
Speaker 11: other people have thrown away, hopefully to find a bottle.

967
00:52:14,760 --> 00:52:17,239
Speaker 11: It can something that you could sell to the recycler,

968
00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:20,680
Speaker 11: and the reality is that there are days that they

969
00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:23,800
Speaker 11: cannot and they will have to forage for their next meal.

970
00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:25,600
Speaker 3: That's Daniella's situation.

971
00:52:25,719 --> 00:52:28,040
Speaker 11: And when we were there visiting her, and before we

972
00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:30,480
Speaker 11: had this conversation, I remember one of the first things

973
00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:33,600
Speaker 11: that she told the team was that when I first

974
00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:36,640
Speaker 11: wake up in the morning, I first thought is food.

975
00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:39,080
Speaker 11: And of course, you know, you almost take it for granted.

976
00:52:39,080 --> 00:52:40,960
Speaker 11: You're like, of course, and we look at each other

977
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:43,520
Speaker 11: and you're almost saying, we all, yes, we're all our

978
00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:47,000
Speaker 11: first thing is food. But when you peek into the

979
00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:50,320
Speaker 11: daily life of a girl in Honduras like Daniella, where

980
00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:54,520
Speaker 11: a garbage dump is your only respite to get food,

981
00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:58,520
Speaker 11: to get finances to buy food, it is a tragic nightmare.

982
00:52:58,560 --> 00:53:02,400
Speaker 11: But it can change right now with your generosity. A

983
00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:05,799
Speaker 11: committed gift of one hundred and fifty dollars will take

984
00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:09,960
Speaker 11: two children like Danielle and deliver them water in their

985
00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:12,879
Speaker 11: community and food for an entire year. And because there

986
00:53:12,920 --> 00:53:16,480
Speaker 11: is a match this hour, right now, your one hundred

987
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:18,640
Speaker 11: and fifty dollars gift has twice the impact.

988
00:53:18,719 --> 00:53:19,640
Speaker 3: That's four children.

989
00:53:19,920 --> 00:53:23,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's really incredible, and I want to say thank you,

990
00:53:23,680 --> 00:53:25,440
Speaker 2: by the way to that friend of Food for the

991
00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:28,800
Speaker 2: Poor who stepped up and said, hey, during Kevin Show today,

992
00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:32,640
Speaker 2: every single gift being matched, we're going to feed twice

993
00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:35,960
Speaker 2: as many people today. Friends. This is where you've heard

994
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:38,720
Speaker 2: me discuss this concept in the past, but it's important

995
00:53:38,719 --> 00:53:40,640
Speaker 2: to reiterate it because we've always got new people coming

996
00:53:40,680 --> 00:53:44,880
Speaker 2: to the show. Is doing something good better than not

997
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:47,399
Speaker 2: doing anything? Well, it's doing something good better than doing

998
00:53:47,400 --> 00:53:51,799
Speaker 2: something bad. Yes, is doing something good better than doing nothing? Yes?

999
00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:56,640
Speaker 2: Is doing good better than doing something small that's good? Yes,

1000
00:53:57,239 --> 00:54:00,360
Speaker 2: doing good is good on all of those levels. But

1001
00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:03,279
Speaker 2: is doing good something that's good when you could do

1002
00:54:03,320 --> 00:54:06,879
Speaker 2: the maximum good? Well? See now, it's just if you're

1003
00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:09,520
Speaker 2: just doing what's good, you're missing out on the opportunity

1004
00:54:09,800 --> 00:54:11,880
Speaker 2: to have the biggest impact. And what I want is

1005
00:54:12,040 --> 00:54:15,279
Speaker 2: maximum good. And so when someone steps up and says, hey,

1006
00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:19,640
Speaker 2: we're going to match every single bite of food that

1007
00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:23,880
Speaker 2: you can put onto the plate this hour, every child

1008
00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:26,560
Speaker 2: that gets fed, every name that gets taken off the list,

1009
00:54:26,600 --> 00:54:28,920
Speaker 2: We're going to take another one off the list. I

1010
00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:31,400
Speaker 2: want to do the maximum good. So here's what I

1011
00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:35,560
Speaker 2: want to do, and I don't really care what your

1012
00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:38,560
Speaker 2: means are. If you can give seventy five dollars and

1013
00:54:38,600 --> 00:54:41,440
Speaker 2: feed one child, give that gift now, because it's going

1014
00:54:41,520 --> 00:54:43,239
Speaker 2: to turn into two kids that are going to be helped.

1015
00:54:43,600 --> 00:54:46,240
Speaker 2: But if you can give a gift of fifteen hundred

1016
00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:50,799
Speaker 2: dollars and help many many children in the process, do

1017
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:54,920
Speaker 2: that now, because that turns into twice as many of

1018
00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:57,759
Speaker 2: so in essence, three thousand dollars worth of help. If

1019
00:54:57,800 --> 00:55:00,840
Speaker 2: you can do one hundred and fifty thousand dollars of

1020
00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:05,120
Speaker 2: good right now, do that right now, because this is

1021
00:55:05,160 --> 00:55:07,040
Speaker 2: the time, This is the moment. This is the place

1022
00:55:07,080 --> 00:55:09,920
Speaker 2: where you can take what you can do. God compare

1023
00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:13,400
Speaker 2: it with a generous heart that he is prepared somewhere else,

1024
00:55:13,640 --> 00:55:17,359
Speaker 2: and together bringing them together, that does the maximum good,

1025
00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:19,880
Speaker 2: the most good. And when you think about good in

1026
00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:23,120
Speaker 2: the in the context of scripture, think about think about

1027
00:55:23,160 --> 00:55:25,279
Speaker 2: the Book of James, think about the New Testament, think

1028
00:55:25,320 --> 00:55:28,600
Speaker 2: about all the places where Paul and Jesus encourage us

1029
00:55:29,040 --> 00:55:32,319
Speaker 2: to don't just go with your neighbor one, but extend it,

1030
00:55:32,719 --> 00:55:36,320
Speaker 2: keep doing the good thing, keep reaching out, keep doing

1031
00:55:36,360 --> 00:55:39,719
Speaker 2: what you can. And right now, the maximum good that

1032
00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:41,520
Speaker 2: you can do is to give a gift of whatever

1033
00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:43,960
Speaker 2: size the Lord puts on your heart, because at the

1034
00:55:44,040 --> 00:55:46,640
Speaker 2: end of the day that's going to be doubled in

1035
00:55:46,719 --> 00:55:48,920
Speaker 2: its impact. And eight five five nine oh seven four

1036
00:55:49,040 --> 00:55:50,680
Speaker 2: six seven three is where you do that. Eight five

1037
00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:53,400
Speaker 2: five nine zero seven four six seven three. Now, if

1038
00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:55,160
Speaker 2: you if you don't want to talk to someone, if

1039
00:55:55,200 --> 00:55:57,919
Speaker 2: you're a real hermit crab Mike, if you're an antisocial

1040
00:55:58,760 --> 00:56:01,520
Speaker 2: person like Paul, he's very anti social. Paul doesn't lie.

1041
00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:02,680
Speaker 3: I resemble that remark.

1042
00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:07,520
Speaker 2: He's not friendly. It never goes to Starbucks and ask

1043
00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:09,799
Speaker 2: for like the gingerbread take and get to know the

1044
00:56:09,800 --> 00:56:13,319
Speaker 2: people while he's eating at That never happens. But if

1045
00:56:13,360 --> 00:56:15,520
Speaker 2: you're if you're if you're not like Paul, if I mean,

1046
00:56:15,560 --> 00:56:17,360
Speaker 2: if you are like Paul and you're antisocial and you

1047
00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:19,440
Speaker 2: don't want to talk to someone on the phone, then

1048
00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:21,640
Speaker 2: do it in private. A text hunger to five to

1049
00:56:21,680 --> 00:56:24,359
Speaker 2: one five five five will send you a link back,

1050
00:56:24,600 --> 00:56:26,440
Speaker 2: and at that link you can just click it. You

1051
00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:28,160
Speaker 2: can make your gift. And if you give it this

1052
00:56:28,239 --> 00:56:31,799
Speaker 2: hour it's going to count towards the big goal, the

1053
00:56:31,840 --> 00:56:33,960
Speaker 2: goal of seven hundred and twenty kids, which, by the way,

1054
00:56:34,040 --> 00:56:36,400
Speaker 2: when we started in the in the first few minutes,

1055
00:56:36,440 --> 00:56:38,480
Speaker 2: we had ten that we're taking care of like right away.

1056
00:56:38,760 --> 00:56:41,360
Speaker 2: So now we're we're just a little over seven hundred

1057
00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:44,400
Speaker 2: children that that still need to be spoken for. But

1058
00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:46,960
Speaker 2: will you speak for some right now? Eight five five

1059
00:56:47,040 --> 00:56:49,040
Speaker 2: nine oh seven four six seven three or hunger to

1060
00:56:49,120 --> 00:56:51,080
Speaker 2: five to one five five five And if you if

1061
00:56:51,080 --> 00:56:53,160
Speaker 2: you just want to go online and check out even more,

1062
00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:55,520
Speaker 2: go to that kevinshow dot com. Click the Food for

1063
00:56:55,560 --> 00:56:57,279
Speaker 2: the Poor banner should be at the top of the

1064
00:56:57,320 --> 00:56:59,719
Speaker 2: page and find out more of what you're doing there.

1065
00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:01,880
Speaker 2: But paul I was talking with Danny about this in

1066
00:57:01,880 --> 00:57:04,719
Speaker 2: the last hour, and that is food for the poor

1067
00:57:05,160 --> 00:57:09,280
Speaker 2: is not It's Christ's centered. It doesn't it doesn't shy

1068
00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:13,719
Speaker 2: away from representing Jesus in the marketplace. And you do

1069
00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:15,839
Speaker 2: that in a couple of ways. One, you do it

1070
00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:20,200
Speaker 2: with such integrity that even nash nations like Jamaica, when

1071
00:57:20,200 --> 00:57:24,240
Speaker 2: they had the hurricane this last year, the government came

1072
00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:28,080
Speaker 2: to you guys and said, can you help us get

1073
00:57:28,080 --> 00:57:30,080
Speaker 2: the supplies out to the people that need it because

1074
00:57:30,280 --> 00:57:33,480
Speaker 2: we don't have the distribution center. You guys do. You

1075
00:57:33,560 --> 00:57:36,000
Speaker 2: have this network of pastors in all the countries that

1076
00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:38,800
Speaker 2: you work in, and that's the best way to know

1077
00:57:38,880 --> 00:57:40,600
Speaker 2: that every one of these children that are on this

1078
00:57:40,760 --> 00:57:43,760
Speaker 2: list are actually going to receive what we're saying they're

1079
00:57:43,800 --> 00:57:46,160
Speaker 2: going to receive today, that's exactly right.

1080
00:57:46,200 --> 00:57:49,480
Speaker 11: This Friday, we celebrate Food for the Poors forty fourth

1081
00:57:49,520 --> 00:57:54,600
Speaker 11: anniversary of our Founder's Day. And it began forty four

1082
00:57:54,680 --> 00:57:57,960
Speaker 11: years ago in a local church a promise, a commitment

1083
00:57:57,960 --> 00:58:01,080
Speaker 11: to God that we would serve the lawd every single

1084
00:58:01,120 --> 00:58:04,480
Speaker 11: day through the work of helping those who are the

1085
00:58:04,560 --> 00:58:06,960
Speaker 11: least of these Matthew twenty five, forty and it is

1086
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:10,400
Speaker 11: now forty four years later translated into being a trusted

1087
00:58:10,440 --> 00:58:14,360
Speaker 11: partner to pastors on the ground in the fifteen countries

1088
00:58:14,360 --> 00:58:16,720
Speaker 11: where we serve, but also to the Governor of Jamaic,

1089
00:58:16,760 --> 00:58:18,880
Speaker 11: Government of Jamaica, where more than half of the nation

1090
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:22,640
Speaker 11: of Jamaica was completely wiped out after Hurricane Melissa. I

1091
00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:24,800
Speaker 11: was there on the ground for six days with our

1092
00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:28,320
Speaker 11: disaster response team. And now three months later, you're talking

1093
00:58:28,400 --> 00:58:31,920
Speaker 11: about the fruit of that relationship with God and the

1094
00:58:31,960 --> 00:58:35,680
Speaker 11: fruit that has been benefiting those families one hundred and

1095
00:58:35,800 --> 00:58:38,560
Speaker 11: eight thousand, over one hundred and eight thousand relief kits.

1096
00:58:38,720 --> 00:58:41,640
Speaker 11: You're talking about more than sixty eight thousand food kits,

1097
00:58:41,720 --> 00:58:43,800
Speaker 11: and that's sixty eight thousand families, not people.

1098
00:58:44,160 --> 00:58:45,520
Speaker 3: Sixty eight thousand families.

1099
00:58:45,840 --> 00:58:50,280
Speaker 11: You're talking about several thousand homes and more than sixty

1100
00:58:50,280 --> 00:58:53,880
Speaker 11: eight thousand families and one hundred and eighty one containers

1101
00:58:53,880 --> 00:58:56,680
Speaker 11: and shipments, all delivered through with the help of the

1102
00:58:56,760 --> 00:58:59,640
Speaker 11: US government and the Jamaica Defense Force. But now Food

1103
00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:01,680
Speaker 11: for the Poor or has become the backbone of the

1104
00:59:01,720 --> 00:59:04,840
Speaker 11: distribution for all other NGOs coming in to rebuild the

1105
00:59:04,920 --> 00:59:07,360
Speaker 11: nation of Jamaica. That doesn't happen overnight. Then it doesn't

1106
00:59:07,360 --> 00:59:09,880
Speaker 11: happen without a commitment to God. And that's why your

1107
00:59:09,960 --> 00:59:15,640
Speaker 11: gift can be trusted to an organization like Food for

1108
00:59:15,680 --> 00:59:18,000
Speaker 11: the Poor and pastors on the ground who are going

1109
00:59:18,040 --> 00:59:21,640
Speaker 11: to stewart that gift and save lives. I never ask

1110
00:59:21,800 --> 00:59:24,320
Speaker 11: my listeners to do anything that I'm not willing to do,

1111
00:59:24,640 --> 00:59:26,760
Speaker 11: and so I don't tell you this those of you

1112
00:59:26,800 --> 00:59:30,720
Speaker 11: listening now to in any way brag or bring attention

1113
00:59:30,760 --> 00:59:33,440
Speaker 11: to myself. But I just want you to know transparently,

1114
00:59:33,880 --> 00:59:37,000
Speaker 11: my family and I have given to Food for the

1115
00:59:37,040 --> 00:59:40,760
Speaker 11: Poor consistently over the years for various projects, from building

1116
00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:44,240
Speaker 11: homes to feeding programs to all kinds of things, because

1117
00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:48,040
Speaker 11: because of the integrity, because of what we see when

1118
00:59:48,040 --> 00:59:51,520
Speaker 11: I've been in theater with Paul, with Danny's team, with

1119
00:59:51,600 --> 00:59:53,880
Speaker 11: other people that have been there, when I've been in

1120
00:59:54,040 --> 00:59:56,400
Speaker 11: nation with them and have seen with my own eyes.

1121
00:59:56,800 --> 01:00:01,120
Speaker 11: And I'll tell you one quick story. A few years ago,

1122
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:06,600
Speaker 11: we were in Haiti and we got on to the

1123
01:00:06,680 --> 01:00:09,760
Speaker 11: van and we started driving, and we went out of

1124
01:00:09,760 --> 01:00:11,440
Speaker 11: the town that we were staying in and we went

1125
01:00:11,480 --> 01:00:13,440
Speaker 11: up into the countryside and we went we drove for

1126
01:00:13,480 --> 01:00:15,000
Speaker 11: a while. I don't think we got very far, but

1127
01:00:15,040 --> 01:00:18,160
Speaker 11: we went a long ways. And when we got to

1128
01:00:18,280 --> 01:00:21,160
Speaker 11: where kind of the road ended, we got out of

1129
01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:23,600
Speaker 11: the van and then walked for like another two miles.

1130
01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:25,480
Speaker 11: And when we got to the end of where we

1131
01:00:25,480 --> 01:00:27,640
Speaker 11: were walking to, there was a town and it was

1132
01:00:27,720 --> 01:00:30,760
Speaker 11: kind of like it was like an abandoned area of

1133
01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:34,200
Speaker 11: the island because there used to be more produce production

1134
01:00:34,280 --> 01:00:36,440
Speaker 11: in that region and so forth. And we get to

1135
01:00:36,480 --> 01:00:39,440
Speaker 11: this little school, well, it's like a church slash school

1136
01:00:39,560 --> 01:00:45,000
Speaker 11: structure kind of like cinderblock construction, and inside was an

1137
01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:48,840
Speaker 11: elderly man who was kind of teaching young people, and

1138
01:00:48,920 --> 01:00:50,800
Speaker 11: I could sense that it was a school class that

1139
01:00:50,880 --> 01:00:52,760
Speaker 11: was going on. I don't know six seven eight kids

1140
01:00:52,800 --> 01:00:55,120
Speaker 11: in there. And when we come back, I want to

1141
01:00:55,160 --> 01:00:58,480
Speaker 11: tell you about my own personal experience with food for

1142
01:00:58,520 --> 01:01:01,240
Speaker 11: the poor in that region and why I know that

1143
01:01:01,360 --> 01:01:03,840
Speaker 11: your gift can be trusted today eight five five nine

1144
01:01:03,880 --> 01:01:07,160
Speaker 11: oh seven four six seven three. Paul Jacobs, Danny Patino

Speaker 11: and Kevin McCullough are so grateful to be.

1146
01:01:10,080 --> 01:01:13,320
Speaker 2: With you, but we're asking you to help us rescue

1147
01:01:13,360 --> 01:01:16,360
Speaker 2: as many of these children as we can. Seven hundred

1148
01:01:16,360 --> 01:01:19,320
Speaker 2: of them need food for a year and water for

1149
01:01:19,400 --> 01:01:21,760
Speaker 2: the foreseeable future. You can give that all to a

1150
01:01:21,840 --> 01:01:24,880
Speaker 2: child for seventy five dollars. And if you call this hour,

1151
01:01:25,240 --> 01:01:28,320
Speaker 2: every child that you pledge for, someone else is gonna

1152
01:01:28,320 --> 01:01:30,400
Speaker 2: step up and match it. Eight five five nine zero

1153
01:01:30,520 --> 01:01:34,640
Speaker 2: seven four six seven three. Stay right here, let's stick

1154
01:01:34,680 --> 01:01:36,080
Speaker 2: around for more of that.

1155
01:01:36,400 --> 01:02:05,760
Speaker 12: Kevin next.

1156
01:01:53,800 --> 01:01:55,680
Speaker 6: Here, he is from New York.

1157
01:01:56,440 --> 01:02:01,720
Speaker 2: Is that Kevin. Kevin McCullough, grateful to have you with us.

1158
01:02:01,760 --> 01:02:04,520
Speaker 2: Eight five five nine zero seven four six seven three

1159
01:02:04,520 --> 01:02:08,000
Speaker 2: that's the number by which you can help save a

1160
01:02:08,040 --> 01:02:12,439
Speaker 2: starving child's life literally, and not just with the kind

1161
01:02:12,440 --> 01:02:15,080
Speaker 2: of because a lot of these organizations pull up and that, oh,

1162
01:02:15,240 --> 01:02:17,000
Speaker 2: we're going to give you a meal a day. Wow,

1163
01:02:17,440 --> 01:02:20,840
Speaker 2: aren't you grateful? Haha? No, no, No, Food for the

1164
01:02:20,880 --> 01:02:23,880
Speaker 2: Poor knows that a couple of meals a day is

1165
01:02:23,920 --> 01:02:26,280
Speaker 2: what it needs to really be to help children. And

1166
01:02:26,320 --> 01:02:29,040
Speaker 2: so every one of these kids that we're talking about,

1167
01:02:29,560 --> 01:02:33,040
Speaker 2: your seventy five dollars gift for that child is going

1168
01:02:33,080 --> 01:02:36,280
Speaker 2: to deliver two meals per day for the next year

1169
01:02:36,640 --> 01:02:40,000
Speaker 2: and all the clean drinking water that they can consume,

1170
01:02:40,560 --> 01:02:43,040
Speaker 2: which is which they need that as well. I mean,

1171
01:02:43,040 --> 01:02:45,600
Speaker 2: think about what you spend for a bottle of Poland

1172
01:02:45,600 --> 01:02:47,960
Speaker 2: spring or you know, the Walmart brand, Like if you

1173
01:02:47,960 --> 01:02:50,960
Speaker 2: were me, like you know, Wegmans. Okay, whatever the cheapest is,

1174
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:53,080
Speaker 2: that's what I buy. But it's still like a couple

1175
01:02:53,120 --> 01:02:55,640
Speaker 2: of bucks per you know, every eight or sixteen ounces,

1176
01:02:56,240 --> 01:03:01,560
Speaker 2: and that wouldn't satisfy in this circumstance at all. So

1177
01:03:02,640 --> 01:03:05,680
Speaker 2: you're getting a lot of value physical value for the money.

1178
01:03:06,280 --> 01:03:10,200
Speaker 2: But rejoining us our Danny Patino and okay, he asked

1179
01:03:10,240 --> 01:03:14,960
Speaker 2: for it, mister p Yes, you can live with that

1180
01:03:15,000 --> 01:03:18,840
Speaker 2: one friend. Anyway, I was telling people about our trip

1181
01:03:19,120 --> 01:03:22,320
Speaker 2: to Codwa. Before we left Codwa, was this little town

1182
01:03:22,320 --> 01:03:24,840
Speaker 2: that we drove. After we drove one hundred and fifty

1183
01:03:24,920 --> 01:03:27,240
Speaker 2: days into the wilderness, we then got out of the

1184
01:03:27,320 --> 01:03:29,480
Speaker 2: truck and walked another three days in the wilderness. And

1185
01:03:29,480 --> 01:03:31,400
Speaker 2: when we got to the other side, it was really

1186
01:03:31,400 --> 01:03:32,840
Speaker 2: just a couple miles. But when we got to the

1187
01:03:32,880 --> 01:03:36,440
Speaker 2: other side there was this little schoolhouse and the pastor

1188
01:03:37,440 --> 01:03:39,080
Speaker 2: of the town, whose name is slipping me, but I'm

1189
01:03:39,120 --> 01:03:43,200
Speaker 2: sure mister p remembers Pastor Joseph. Pastor Joseph, and he

1190
01:03:43,320 --> 01:03:46,840
Speaker 2: says he welcomes us, and we're talking and we're asking

1191
01:03:46,880 --> 01:03:50,320
Speaker 2: how hard it is to teach school to kids, particularly

1192
01:03:50,400 --> 01:03:52,840
Speaker 2: in this remote region. And I forget what the crop was.

1193
01:03:53,440 --> 01:03:58,320
Speaker 2: Maybe you remember, Paul Kane. Sugarcane had been there was

1194
01:03:58,360 --> 01:04:01,560
Speaker 2: a processing plant in the region, and they had grown

1195
01:04:01,800 --> 01:04:05,240
Speaker 2: massive amounts of sugar cane. But because of the storms,

1196
01:04:05,720 --> 01:04:07,920
Speaker 2: the hurricanes and some other things, that had all been

1197
01:04:07,960 --> 01:04:10,800
Speaker 2: wiped out, and so this town that had mostly relied

1198
01:04:10,840 --> 01:04:14,560
Speaker 2: on that for its existence was just shriveling up. And

1199
01:04:14,680 --> 01:04:17,280
Speaker 2: these kids, one of them was trying to get a

1200
01:04:17,320 --> 01:04:20,360
Speaker 2: drink of water out of this putrid and I don't

1201
01:04:20,400 --> 01:04:23,680
Speaker 2: use that word lightly, but this putrid watering hole behind

1202
01:04:23,720 --> 01:04:26,520
Speaker 2: the school where I had seen a dog just walk

1203
01:04:26,600 --> 01:04:28,360
Speaker 2: through it and do its business and then move on.

1204
01:04:28,400 --> 01:04:29,880
Speaker 2: And this kid was going to drink some water out

1205
01:04:29,880 --> 01:04:33,760
Speaker 2: of it, and I just it was so heart wrenching

1206
01:04:34,440 --> 01:04:38,320
Speaker 2: to watch this. And so I came back to my

1207
01:04:38,520 --> 01:04:40,320
Speaker 2: New York audience. We were just on in New York

1208
01:04:40,360 --> 01:04:43,000
Speaker 2: at the time, and I told them all about Codway,

1209
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:44,800
Speaker 2: I told them about these kids. I told them about

1210
01:04:44,840 --> 01:04:48,680
Speaker 2: this mom that was trying to cook stuff inside of

1211
01:04:49,920 --> 01:04:52,439
Speaker 2: this hut that she had was not really a house,

1212
01:04:52,440 --> 01:04:54,160
Speaker 2: it was more like a hut, but she was like

1213
01:04:54,280 --> 01:04:57,400
Speaker 2: using manure as fuel to cook the food. And it

1214
01:04:57,480 --> 01:05:00,560
Speaker 2: was like it was so everything about it was it

1215
01:05:00,920 --> 01:05:03,080
Speaker 2: just wrenched my heart from one end to the other.

1216
01:05:04,040 --> 01:05:08,040
Speaker 2: And we told the listeners in New York about it,

1217
01:05:09,080 --> 01:05:11,959
Speaker 2: and they and they caught fire. They caught the vision.

1218
01:05:12,000 --> 01:05:14,480
Speaker 2: They said, this is how we can help. And one

1219
01:05:14,560 --> 01:05:17,760
Speaker 2: year later, we go back, Paul, you go back and

1220
01:05:18,360 --> 01:05:20,920
Speaker 2: fill Boyce's with me at that time, and we and

1221
01:05:20,960 --> 01:05:26,720
Speaker 2: we go together and we see a water purification system operating,

1222
01:05:27,160 --> 01:05:30,440
Speaker 2: and we see moms that have kids that have put

1223
01:05:30,480 --> 01:05:33,360
Speaker 2: a little weight on now because they've been getting feeding

1224
01:05:33,440 --> 01:05:36,640
Speaker 2: for the last year, and we see a cleaned up

1225
01:05:36,880 --> 01:05:39,720
Speaker 2: village that has a lot more like activity going, like

1226
01:05:39,760 --> 01:05:43,200
Speaker 2: it just come back to life simply because they had

1227
01:05:43,200 --> 01:05:45,160
Speaker 2: clean water and a little bit of food for their kids.

1228
01:05:45,400 --> 01:05:48,080
Speaker 2: And it wasn't that the adults were They were still

1229
01:05:48,120 --> 01:05:50,600
Speaker 2: out trying to work and do gardens and do all

1230
01:05:50,600 --> 01:05:53,000
Speaker 2: the stuff they could do. But the difference was day

1231
01:05:53,000 --> 01:05:55,520
Speaker 2: and night in just one year. In just one year,

1232
01:05:55,920 --> 01:05:58,960
Speaker 2: and when I think Paul about there had to be

1233
01:05:59,040 --> 01:06:02,520
Speaker 2: what maybe thirty or four kids in that village, Imagine

1234
01:06:02,560 --> 01:06:06,320
Speaker 2: now that time's seventy and eighty and one hundred, which

1235
01:06:06,360 --> 01:06:08,280
Speaker 2: is the number of kids we're trying to feed this

1236
01:06:08,360 --> 01:06:10,720
Speaker 2: year and get clean water for, and the difference it's

1237
01:06:10,720 --> 01:06:14,160
Speaker 2: going to make in their life. That's my tangible remembrance

1238
01:06:14,240 --> 01:06:16,720
Speaker 2: of how Food for the Poor works at its best

1239
01:06:16,760 --> 01:06:19,080
Speaker 2: with the people that we're talking to today, the listeners

1240
01:06:19,080 --> 01:06:21,520
Speaker 2: who make it happen, and I want to multiply that

1241
01:06:21,840 --> 01:06:24,120
Speaker 2: for all seven hundred and twenty kids that we're trying

1242
01:06:24,120 --> 01:06:24,840
Speaker 2: to reach this year.

1243
01:06:25,520 --> 01:06:28,680
Speaker 11: The three hour journey to Kadua Haiti was nothing compared

1244
01:06:28,720 --> 01:06:32,400
Speaker 11: to the thirty year journey that Pastor Joseph prayed for

1245
01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:36,600
Speaker 11: his community to receive resources. And then what was really

1246
01:06:36,600 --> 01:06:40,120
Speaker 11: striking to me was the prayer and the scripture he

1247
01:06:40,160 --> 01:06:45,200
Speaker 11: prayed Isaiah fifty five, verse five, Behold, a nation shall

1248
01:06:45,280 --> 01:06:47,800
Speaker 11: call you, shall call a nation that you do not know,

1249
01:06:48,200 --> 01:06:51,000
Speaker 11: A nation that does not know you, shall run to you,

1250
01:06:51,320 --> 01:06:53,280
Speaker 11: because the Lord, your God, of the Holy One of

1251
01:06:53,320 --> 01:06:58,160
Speaker 11: Israel has glorified you. There are more kadwa eighties. There

1252
01:06:58,160 --> 01:07:01,600
Speaker 11: are more communities that have pastors that are on their

1253
01:07:01,680 --> 01:07:05,400
Speaker 11: knees for their families and for the families that they serve.

1254
01:07:05,480 --> 01:07:06,240
Speaker 3: In the communities.

1255
01:07:06,240 --> 01:07:10,400
Speaker 11: There are more mothers that are with their children boiling

1256
01:07:10,560 --> 01:07:14,000
Speaker 11: rocks in hope that their children will fall asleep out

1257
01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:18,440
Speaker 11: of sheer desperation because they don't have food that they

1258
01:07:18,520 --> 01:07:21,400
Speaker 11: can put in their bellies, but they can at least

1259
01:07:21,400 --> 01:07:24,720
Speaker 11: give them some sense that there's hope for tomorrow. Your

1260
01:07:24,960 --> 01:07:28,320
Speaker 11: gift answers that prayer of hope.

1261
01:07:28,760 --> 01:07:32,040
Speaker 2: Eight five five nine zero seven four six seven three

1262
01:07:32,120 --> 01:07:34,920
Speaker 2: eight fiy five nine zero seven four six seven three.

1263
01:07:35,280 --> 01:07:38,600
Speaker 2: And Danny Patino, this is this is all throughout Central

1264
01:07:38,640 --> 01:07:43,120
Speaker 2: and South America. I mean Guatemala, Honduras, Al Salvador. They

1265
01:07:43,160 --> 01:07:44,840
Speaker 2: all have similar challenges to Haiti.

1266
01:07:45,480 --> 01:07:48,560
Speaker 9: They do, and especially the folks that we visit in

1267
01:07:48,640 --> 01:07:51,360
Speaker 9: Latin America and the Caribbean. Like you said, they all

1268
01:07:51,440 --> 01:07:53,240
Speaker 9: kind of have the same story, but they speak a

1269
01:07:53,240 --> 01:07:56,240
Speaker 9: different language, different cultures, but it's the same idea.

1270
01:07:56,240 --> 01:07:57,040
Speaker 3: At the end of the day.

1271
01:07:57,280 --> 01:07:59,400
Speaker 9: As a parent, you want to feed your children, you

1272
01:07:59,440 --> 01:08:01,919
Speaker 9: want them to have a future better than what's going

1273
01:08:01,960 --> 01:08:04,240
Speaker 9: on right now. And that's that one little push that

1274
01:08:04,320 --> 01:08:07,120
Speaker 9: these families get to have. When folks like you that

1275
01:08:07,120 --> 01:08:10,000
Speaker 9: you're listening right now, step into their lives and answer

1276
01:08:10,040 --> 01:08:13,600
Speaker 9: their prayers and you have that little push to finally

1277
01:08:13,600 --> 01:08:15,920
Speaker 9: get them out of that cycle of poverty that we

1278
01:08:15,960 --> 01:08:16,759
Speaker 9: want to just break.

1279
01:08:17,080 --> 01:08:19,720
Speaker 3: It makes us much differences, such a.

1280
01:08:19,640 --> 01:08:22,960
Speaker 2: Difference just that just that little knowledge that that meal

1281
01:08:23,360 --> 01:08:25,400
Speaker 2: and that clean water is coming, and I saw it

1282
01:08:25,439 --> 01:08:28,200
Speaker 2: from myself in Coadua, and I know that that that

1283
01:08:28,360 --> 01:08:30,719
Speaker 2: same thing can happen all over Central and South America

1284
01:08:30,760 --> 01:08:32,960
Speaker 2: this year. Eight five five nine oh seven four six

1285
01:08:33,040 --> 01:08:53,080
Speaker 2: seven three.

1286
01:08:53,520 --> 01:08:59,280
Speaker 6: Here he is from New York, That Kevin, Kevin McCullough.

1287
01:09:00,040 --> 01:09:01,760
Speaker 2: All right. The phone number is eight five to five

1288
01:09:01,880 --> 01:09:05,000
Speaker 2: nine zero seven four six seven three eight, five, five,

1289
01:09:05,080 --> 01:09:07,960
Speaker 2: nine zero seven four six seven three. What we are

1290
01:09:08,000 --> 01:09:12,120
Speaker 2: doing is very simple. We are feeding children who will

1291
01:09:12,200 --> 01:09:14,240
Speaker 2: likely die without the food that we get for them,

1292
01:09:14,560 --> 01:09:18,880
Speaker 2: and we are providing clean drinking water. And Paul, we

1293
01:09:18,880 --> 01:09:22,200
Speaker 2: were talking about the situation in Codwa, but it's really

1294
01:09:22,320 --> 01:09:24,599
Speaker 2: kind of universally true for all the countries that food

1295
01:09:24,600 --> 01:09:29,519
Speaker 2: for the poor works in. The necessity for clean water

1296
01:09:30,520 --> 01:09:34,280
Speaker 2: is paramount, if not more important than the necessity of

1297
01:09:34,520 --> 01:09:37,920
Speaker 2: abundant food. And the reason that's the case is because

1298
01:09:37,960 --> 01:09:41,680
Speaker 2: the water supplies are just so polluted where many of

1299
01:09:41,680 --> 01:09:42,519
Speaker 2: these children live.

1300
01:09:43,200 --> 01:09:46,160
Speaker 11: That's exactly right. Not only the fact that there is

1301
01:09:46,200 --> 01:09:49,240
Speaker 11: are these are communities that are in far reaching areas.

1302
01:09:49,760 --> 01:09:52,040
Speaker 11: I was meet in the area just outside of Sound

1303
01:09:52,080 --> 01:09:54,560
Speaker 11: Petro School of Honduras on my last trip to Honduras,

1304
01:09:54,560 --> 01:09:58,080
Speaker 11: and we were in took about thirty minutes to drive

1305
01:09:58,160 --> 01:10:02,280
Speaker 11: up to this remote community in the and we met Erlinda.

1306
01:10:02,760 --> 01:10:06,960
Speaker 11: She's a mother, she has small children, she takes care

1307
01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:09,559
Speaker 11: of her own elderly mother who cannot care for herself,

1308
01:10:09,920 --> 01:10:12,920
Speaker 11: and she works seven days a week. And when I

1309
01:10:12,960 --> 01:10:14,960
Speaker 11: asked her where does she get her water from? She

1310
01:10:15,080 --> 01:10:18,640
Speaker 11: brought me to a basically this little area of this

1311
01:10:18,880 --> 01:10:21,240
Speaker 11: dirt floor, and it was a bunch of empty buckets.

1312
01:10:21,760 --> 01:10:23,880
Speaker 11: And then she took me to the edge of her

1313
01:10:23,960 --> 01:10:28,000
Speaker 11: property and down this hill almost equidistant to where we

1314
01:10:28,240 --> 01:10:31,400
Speaker 11: just drove up in a vehicle. She says, that's where

1315
01:10:31,439 --> 01:10:34,840
Speaker 11: I walk and I fill this up, and I carry

1316
01:10:34,880 --> 01:10:37,120
Speaker 11: it back sometimes several times a day, not only for me,

1317
01:10:37,400 --> 01:10:40,320
Speaker 11: but for my children, excuse me, for my mother. And

1318
01:10:40,360 --> 01:10:41,920
Speaker 11: I asked her, what is your greatest prayer? And I

1319
01:10:41,920 --> 01:10:44,559
Speaker 11: thought she wanted a standing pipe. I thought she wanted

1320
01:10:44,600 --> 01:10:47,920
Speaker 11: some more food, She maybe wanted a better job. And

1321
01:10:48,000 --> 01:10:50,840
Speaker 11: she says, no, I just want the strength that I

1322
01:10:50,880 --> 01:10:54,000
Speaker 11: can care for my family. That's her greatest prayer. But

1323
01:10:54,200 --> 01:10:57,240
Speaker 11: you can aid that prayer right now by making sure

1324
01:10:57,240 --> 01:10:59,760
Speaker 11: that she can feed her children and get safe water

1325
01:11:00,200 --> 01:11:01,439
Speaker 11: right there where she lives.

1326
01:11:02,280 --> 01:11:05,120
Speaker 2: It's really incredible eight five five nine zero seven four

1327
01:11:05,200 --> 01:11:08,439
Speaker 2: six seventy three. How opposite that mindset is of those

1328
01:11:08,439 --> 01:11:10,280
Speaker 2: of us here in the States, isn't it. I mean,

1329
01:11:10,360 --> 01:11:13,280
Speaker 2: such conviction we would we would ask for, you know,

1330
01:11:15,600 --> 01:11:18,640
Speaker 2: a garbage disposal. We would ask for cruise control on

1331
01:11:18,680 --> 01:11:21,000
Speaker 2: our car. We would ask for all kinds of things

1332
01:11:21,520 --> 01:11:24,720
Speaker 2: that people that live in those circumstances can't even begin

1333
01:11:24,760 --> 01:11:28,760
Speaker 2: to fathom because they've never known a moment's rest, much

1334
01:11:28,840 --> 01:11:33,200
Speaker 2: less luxury. And friends. Take that for the criticism that

1335
01:11:33,240 --> 01:11:36,559
Speaker 2: it might be of our culture. It's not that it's

1336
01:11:36,640 --> 01:11:39,600
Speaker 2: bad for us to have nice things or things that

1337
01:11:39,680 --> 01:11:42,200
Speaker 2: make our life more convenient. But when it comes to

1338
01:11:42,240 --> 01:11:45,599
Speaker 2: the measure of our heart, and we know about these needs,

1339
01:11:45,640 --> 01:11:49,400
Speaker 2: and we say, well what about them? Well what about them?

1340
01:11:49,439 --> 01:11:54,360
Speaker 2: What are we doing for Erlinda to help her get

1341
01:11:54,400 --> 01:11:57,200
Speaker 2: that clean drinking water so that she and her mother

1342
01:11:57,560 --> 01:12:00,559
Speaker 2: and her kids can have a little bit of a

1343
01:12:00,600 --> 01:12:02,280
Speaker 2: little bit of hope in their life, a little bit

1344
01:12:02,320 --> 01:12:06,400
Speaker 2: of a different outlook and it can happen. I mean,

1345
01:12:06,400 --> 01:12:10,160
Speaker 2: if we can get clean drinking water everywhere in North America,

1346
01:12:10,240 --> 01:12:13,360
Speaker 2: we can get it everywhere in South America and Central America.

1347
01:12:13,840 --> 01:12:17,120
Speaker 2: And food for the poor. There's no group of people

1348
01:12:17,160 --> 01:12:20,240
Speaker 2: that do a better job, in my opinion, in terms

1349
01:12:20,240 --> 01:12:23,360
Speaker 2: of the integrity of the work delivering what needs to

1350
01:12:23,400 --> 01:12:27,320
Speaker 2: be delivered, helping the families that need help, and how

1351
01:12:27,400 --> 01:12:30,320
Speaker 2: many times over again, Danny, as you've gone from country

1352
01:12:30,360 --> 01:12:33,439
Speaker 2: to country, have you noticed that the dirt inside the

1353
01:12:33,479 --> 01:12:36,639
Speaker 2: doorway is the dirt the same dirt that's outside the doorway.

1354
01:12:37,200 --> 01:12:41,360
Speaker 2: And these families have so very little compared to what

1355
01:12:41,439 --> 01:12:44,559
Speaker 2: we have, and yet the gratitude that they show when

1356
01:12:44,640 --> 01:12:48,080
Speaker 2: given even a small amount of help is just overwhelming.

1357
01:12:49,320 --> 01:12:54,800
Speaker 9: Well, imagine a parent having just a struggle through every day,

1358
01:12:55,120 --> 01:12:57,599
Speaker 9: from finding your next meal, to don't drink that water

1359
01:12:57,640 --> 01:13:00,360
Speaker 9: because that's going to make you sick, to when it rains,

1360
01:13:00,000 --> 01:13:03,080
Speaker 9: mean the bed that you sleep in is getting wet

1361
01:13:03,120 --> 01:13:05,519
Speaker 9: because there's holes in the roof and the tin roof

1362
01:13:05,520 --> 01:13:08,920
Speaker 9: and the zinc roofs that these homes put together, any

1363
01:13:09,040 --> 01:13:12,200
Speaker 9: scraps that they can find, they put it on the house,

1364
01:13:12,360 --> 01:13:14,360
Speaker 9: just to protect them from the elements, from the bugs,

1365
01:13:14,360 --> 01:13:16,720
Speaker 9: from the water, from things that they're trying to keep

1366
01:13:16,760 --> 01:13:19,360
Speaker 9: out even though they're still going to come in through some.

1367
01:13:19,400 --> 01:13:20,160
Speaker 3: Holes some way.

1368
01:13:21,760 --> 01:13:24,840
Speaker 9: Is just a devastating reality that these folks are having

1369
01:13:24,920 --> 01:13:28,439
Speaker 9: to endure on a daily basis. And that's why we

1370
01:13:28,840 --> 01:13:30,960
Speaker 9: come here to talk to your audience and let them

1371
01:13:31,000 --> 01:13:33,599
Speaker 9: know that they can step into those lives by providing

1372
01:13:33,600 --> 01:13:38,000
Speaker 9: a meal, by providing clean water source. And we call

1373
01:13:38,040 --> 01:13:40,320
Speaker 9: it the basics of life. These aren't basis of life

1374
01:13:40,680 --> 01:13:43,320
Speaker 9: for you and I. There's just they're part of our day.

1375
01:13:43,120 --> 01:13:45,479
Speaker 9: We go on in our kitchens, we go on our bathrooms,

1376
01:13:45,520 --> 01:13:47,480
Speaker 9: we turn on the water and sometimes we probably.

1377
01:13:47,200 --> 01:13:49,240
Speaker 3: Leave them on and we just don't care.

1378
01:13:49,840 --> 01:13:51,719
Speaker 9: But for the families that we're helping in the fifteen

1379
01:13:51,720 --> 01:13:54,000
Speaker 9: countries of Latin America and the Caribbean here at Food

1380
01:13:54,000 --> 01:13:57,719
Speaker 9: for the Poor, their reality is having that one more meal.

1381
01:13:58,360 --> 01:14:01,120
Speaker 9: And when you talk about having to worry about your

1382
01:14:01,120 --> 01:14:04,200
Speaker 9: bed now being soaked by the rain, and that the

1383
01:14:04,800 --> 01:14:07,360
Speaker 9: bed is not a complete bed that you and I have, again,

1384
01:14:07,439 --> 01:14:10,840
Speaker 9: these are folks that are putting together a bed from scraps,

1385
01:14:11,400 --> 01:14:13,719
Speaker 9: sheets that of course are not going to be washed.

1386
01:14:14,080 --> 01:14:18,120
Speaker 9: Elements like boxes, any trash that can be saved, are

1387
01:14:18,120 --> 01:14:20,880
Speaker 9: put in that bed to resemble some type of bed,

1388
01:14:21,080 --> 01:14:23,719
Speaker 9: someplace that they don't have to sleep other than the floor.

1389
01:14:24,280 --> 01:14:27,360
Speaker 9: And sometimes the floor is actually more comfortable than the

1390
01:14:27,360 --> 01:14:30,479
Speaker 9: beds because they don't they don't have anything else other

1391
01:14:30,560 --> 01:14:32,880
Speaker 9: than what they have in front of them, which is

1392
01:14:32,920 --> 01:14:35,600
Speaker 9: not a lot. And we step into these homes and

1393
01:14:35,680 --> 01:14:38,240
Speaker 9: these families, even though they don't have anything, they still

1394
01:14:38,280 --> 01:14:43,559
Speaker 9: offer something. Hey, here, I have this this little fruit

1395
01:14:43,600 --> 01:14:46,479
Speaker 9: that I just got is if you, if you want

1396
01:14:46,479 --> 01:14:48,360
Speaker 9: to eat it, we can share it. We know, and

1397
01:14:48,400 --> 01:14:50,720
Speaker 9: they played it for you, and I sometimes I can't

1398
01:14:50,760 --> 01:14:53,840
Speaker 9: say no because this, for us, it's one banana. For

1399
01:14:53,920 --> 01:14:57,760
Speaker 9: a family that can't get anything other than that, it's

1400
01:14:57,880 --> 01:15:02,280
Speaker 9: a precious item. It's something that for them is sharing

1401
01:15:02,320 --> 01:15:07,960
Speaker 9: their life with us. And that's where we that's where

1402
01:15:07,960 --> 01:15:10,720
Speaker 9: we step in and we say no more. This is

1403
01:15:10,800 --> 01:15:12,519
Speaker 9: this is not a reality you should be living in.

1404
01:15:12,840 --> 01:15:14,960
Speaker 9: This is not something that you should be on a daily.

1405
01:15:15,479 --> 01:15:17,439
Speaker 9: This is not something you should be struggling on a daily.

1406
01:15:17,760 --> 01:15:20,200
Speaker 9: And when I speak to the parents, it hurts even more.

1407
01:15:20,200 --> 01:15:22,919
Speaker 9: I'm a parent myself of two, so having to understand

1408
01:15:22,920 --> 01:15:23,680
Speaker 9: a dad's.

1409
01:15:23,400 --> 01:15:25,120
Speaker 3: Reality, a mom's reality, having to.

1410
01:15:25,080 --> 01:15:28,599
Speaker 9: Step away and cry because they can't provide anything else

1411
01:15:28,640 --> 01:15:29,559
Speaker 9: of what they have there.

1412
01:15:30,920 --> 01:15:34,160
Speaker 3: That's not that's not how we, anybody sho to live.

1413
01:15:34,439 --> 01:15:37,200
Speaker 9: And the fact that these folks are right now currently

1414
01:15:37,240 --> 01:15:40,080
Speaker 9: living in that situation is unbearable. And that's why we

1415
01:15:40,160 --> 01:15:41,920
Speaker 9: ask you right now to step into the lives of

1416
01:15:41,960 --> 01:15:45,000
Speaker 9: these families and be that prayer, answer to that prayer

1417
01:15:45,320 --> 01:15:49,840
Speaker 9: of one more meal, one more night. Where water is

1418
01:15:49,880 --> 01:15:52,120
Speaker 9: not getting into our home, where it doesn't rain and

1419
01:15:52,160 --> 01:15:54,920
Speaker 9: it floods our beds or our kitchens or anything that

1420
01:15:55,400 --> 01:16:00,000
Speaker 9: is just remotely ours, because we can't have anything else

1421
01:16:00,400 --> 01:16:01,879
Speaker 9: than what we have here in front.

1422
01:16:01,640 --> 01:16:04,160
Speaker 2: Of us, and starting with the clean drinking water, and

1423
01:16:04,200 --> 01:16:07,080
Speaker 2: starting with the food for the children in particular, is

1424
01:16:07,280 --> 01:16:10,519
Speaker 2: hugely helpful. Friends, eight five five nine zero seven for

1425
01:16:10,720 --> 01:16:14,439
Speaker 2: six seven three. Every child we take care of this

1426
01:16:14,520 --> 01:16:17,360
Speaker 2: hour is going to be matched by a single friend

1427
01:16:17,360 --> 01:16:19,759
Speaker 2: of food for the poor. Take advantage of that test,

1428
01:16:20,200 --> 01:16:23,760
Speaker 2: that generosity. Put them to the test. Eight five five

1429
01:16:23,840 --> 01:16:27,120
Speaker 2: nine zero seven four six seven three or type hunger

1430
01:16:27,240 --> 01:16:30,040
Speaker 2: text hunger to five to one five five five. Kevin

1431
01:16:30,120 --> 01:16:32,360
Speaker 2: McCullough coming back with some final thoughts. Don't go away,

1432
01:16:33,880 --> 01:16:47,599
Speaker 2: stick around for more of that. Kevin the next serving

1433
01:16:47,640 --> 01:16:52,960
Speaker 2: it up with a no drink mitt. It's that Kevin show,

1434
01:16:54,400 --> 01:16:56,600
Speaker 2: all right. I want to say thanks to Paul and

1435
01:16:56,720 --> 01:16:59,519
Speaker 2: Danny for your guys is being on the show today

1436
01:16:59,720 --> 01:17:01,840
Speaker 2: and on board and tell us some stories. We'll talk

1437
01:17:01,840 --> 01:17:04,840
Speaker 2: again tomorrow. But friends, I want to close today where

1438
01:17:04,840 --> 01:17:08,920
Speaker 2: we started. We've gone full circle. First John, Chapter three,

1439
01:17:10,080 --> 01:17:13,160
Speaker 2: first verse. See what kind of love the Father has

1440
01:17:13,240 --> 01:17:18,040
Speaker 2: given to us? In the NIV, it's has lavished upon us.

1441
01:17:18,080 --> 01:17:20,640
Speaker 2: See how much love he has lavished upon us that

1442
01:17:20,720 --> 01:17:23,160
Speaker 2: we should be called the children of God, and so

1443
01:17:23,240 --> 01:17:27,880
Speaker 2: we are. Let's settle that for a second. We're not tolerated,

1444
01:17:27,960 --> 01:17:31,719
Speaker 2: we're not barely accepted, We're not reluctantly forgiven. We're called children.

1445
01:17:32,360 --> 01:17:38,200
Speaker 2: We're loved, chosen, named, claimed by the creator of the universe.

1446
01:17:39,360 --> 01:17:41,920
Speaker 2: And John goes on to say, beloved, we are God's

1447
01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:45,120
Speaker 2: children now, and when he appears, we will be like him.

1448
01:17:45,520 --> 01:17:48,960
Speaker 2: Everyone who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he

1449
01:17:49,040 --> 01:17:51,760
Speaker 2: is pure. In other words, if you know who you

1450
01:17:51,840 --> 01:17:55,000
Speaker 2: belong to, if you know whose child you are, it

1451
01:17:55,120 --> 01:17:59,160
Speaker 2: changes how you live, It changes how you love, It

1452
01:17:59,240 --> 01:18:02,920
Speaker 2: changes how you notice what you're willing to do, not

1453
01:18:03,080 --> 01:18:06,639
Speaker 2: just walking past suffering, not just scrolling past pain, not

1454
01:18:06,680 --> 01:18:10,880
Speaker 2: just shrugging at hunger, because children of God start looking

1455
01:18:11,160 --> 01:18:15,720
Speaker 2: like their father, and our father feeds the hungry, Our

1456
01:18:15,760 --> 01:18:20,240
Speaker 2: father heals the broken, He runs, not walks toward the hurting.

1457
01:18:21,479 --> 01:18:23,320
Speaker 2: Which brings us to what we talked about the rest

1458
01:18:23,360 --> 01:18:26,960
Speaker 2: of the show today. Food for the poor, not a charity,

1459
01:18:27,960 --> 01:18:32,240
Speaker 2: a mission, a ministry, a lifeline. And together, right now, friends,

1460
01:18:32,240 --> 01:18:34,600
Speaker 2: we have the chance to help seven hundred children for

1461
01:18:34,600 --> 01:18:37,519
Speaker 2: an entire year, not a meal, not a week, not

1462
01:18:37,560 --> 01:18:44,679
Speaker 2: a moment, a year, two meals a day, consistently giving dignity,

1463
01:18:44,760 --> 01:18:48,200
Speaker 2: giving hope, and on top of that, clean drinking water

1464
01:18:48,240 --> 01:18:50,960
Speaker 2: that's going to last for years, water that doesn't make

1465
01:18:51,040 --> 01:18:54,080
Speaker 2: kids sick, it doesn't steal their future, it doesn't cut

1466
01:18:54,120 --> 01:18:57,479
Speaker 2: them off in the prime of life. Friends, that's all

1467
01:18:57,479 --> 01:19:00,639
Speaker 2: wrapped in the Gospel. Not just bread for the body,

1468
01:19:01,200 --> 01:19:04,320
Speaker 2: but bread for life, for the soul. Not just water

1469
01:19:04,400 --> 01:19:07,080
Speaker 2: for the thirsty, but living water for eternity. This is

1470
01:19:07,120 --> 01:19:10,840
Speaker 2: what it looks like when faith gets shoes on. This

1471
01:19:10,920 --> 01:19:12,880
Speaker 2: is what it looks like when Scripture moves off the

1472
01:19:12,920 --> 01:19:17,799
Speaker 2: page and into our lives. Somewhere tonight in these countries,

1473
01:19:17,840 --> 01:19:19,760
Speaker 2: that food for the poor works in. Children will go

1474
01:19:19,800 --> 01:19:22,920
Speaker 2: to bed hungry. But if we step in, we can

1475
01:19:23,080 --> 01:19:26,760
Speaker 2: end that. For Tomorrow night, somewhere tonight, a mother's going

1476
01:19:26,800 --> 01:19:30,160
Speaker 2: to pray for clean water, and we can answer that prayer.

1477
01:19:31,120 --> 01:19:33,840
Speaker 2: Somewhere tonight, a family's going to wonder if God even

1478
01:19:33,920 --> 01:19:38,040
Speaker 2: sees who they are. But through you, through us, through

1479
01:19:38,080 --> 01:19:41,880
Speaker 2: Paul and Danny and all of us together, through us,

1480
01:19:41,920 --> 01:19:45,640
Speaker 2: he says, yes, I do see you. And friends, we

1481
01:19:45,680 --> 01:19:49,600
Speaker 2: are blessed way more than we understand. We live in

1482
01:19:49,640 --> 01:19:53,160
Speaker 2: warm homes, we turn on taps, we open refrigerators, We

1483
01:19:53,880 --> 01:19:58,880
Speaker 2: choose between choices. Most of the world doesn't. And God

1484
01:19:58,920 --> 01:20:01,200
Speaker 2: didn't bless us so we can be comfortable. He blessed

1485
01:20:01,240 --> 01:20:04,479
Speaker 2: us so we could be conduits, you know, that thing

1486
01:20:04,520 --> 01:20:07,599
Speaker 2: that connects electrical joints, so we can pass on the currency,

1487
01:20:07,880 --> 01:20:11,280
Speaker 2: so that his currency, the currency of His love, to

1488
01:20:11,360 --> 01:20:14,000
Speaker 2: the people who need it most. That's what we're supposed

1489
01:20:14,000 --> 01:20:17,040
Speaker 2: to be conducting. So when John says, see what kind

1490
01:20:17,080 --> 01:20:19,720
Speaker 2: of love the Father's given, he's inviting us to reflect it,

1491
01:20:19,920 --> 01:20:21,640
Speaker 2: to live it, to show it, to give it, not

1492
01:20:21,680 --> 01:20:25,519
Speaker 2: out of guilt, out of gratitude, not out of pressure,

1493
01:20:25,840 --> 01:20:29,479
Speaker 2: out of purpose. That's what we're born for. And when

1494
01:20:29,479 --> 01:20:31,559
Speaker 2: you give to food for the poor, you're feeding Christ,

1495
01:20:31,640 --> 01:20:35,400
Speaker 2: you're serving Christ, you're honoring Christ. Jesus said it himself.

1496
01:20:35,520 --> 01:20:37,320
Speaker 2: When you did it for the least of these, you

1497
01:20:37,400 --> 01:20:41,479
Speaker 2: did it for me. So as we close today, if

1498
01:20:41,479 --> 01:20:43,439
Speaker 2: God has stirred your heart, don't ignore it. If he's

1499
01:20:43,520 --> 01:20:47,439
Speaker 2: nudging you, don't delay. If he's calling, you answer the call,

1500
01:20:48,200 --> 01:20:50,960
Speaker 2: and together we can change lives. We can say futures,

1501
01:20:51,000 --> 01:20:54,240
Speaker 2: We can show this world what sons and daughters of

1502
01:20:54,280 --> 01:20:59,040
Speaker 2: God look like. Loved people that are loving people, fed

1503
01:20:59,080 --> 01:21:04,840
Speaker 2: by grace, others children of God acting like God. Thank

1504
01:21:04,880 --> 01:21:07,120
Speaker 2: you for walking on this journey with me today, thank

1505
01:21:07,120 --> 01:21:08,800
Speaker 2: you for praying, Thank you for those of you who

1506
01:21:08,840 --> 01:21:12,720
Speaker 2: are giving, thank you for caring. God bless you as

1507
01:21:12,760 --> 01:21:15,880
Speaker 2: you bless others. And we'll be back tomorrow to tell

1508
01:21:15,880 --> 01:21:18,120
Speaker 2: you a little bit more about how all of it goes.

1509
01:21:18,479 --> 01:21:21,840
Speaker 2: Kevin McCullough, thankful to have you here. We'll see you

1510
01:21:21,840 --> 01:21:22,280
Speaker 2: next time.
