A Tale of Three Dreams — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:04hello everyone this is Daniel kolenda
- 0:07and today I want to tell you the story
- 0:09of three dreams two of these dreams were
- 0:12actual literal dreams in the night both
- 0:15of them came to run our bunkie but in
- 0:17two very different seasons of life the
- 0:19first when he was very young just
- 0:20starting out in ministry and the other
- 0:22near the end of his life in ministry the
- 0:25first dream is well known the other is
- 0:26not but both I believe are highly
- 0:29prophetic and these two dreams are like
- 0:31golden bookends that encapsulate the
- 0:34life and legacy of one of God's greatest
- 0:36generals but moreover and this is the
- 0:38purpose of this video they lead us to a
- 0:40third dream that I want to share with
- 0:42you in a moment my dream the year was
- 0:451972 Reinhard Bonnke was a 32 year old
- 0:48missionary in lassoo to a small
- 0:50mountainous nation landlocked by South
- 0:52Africa Reinhard's ministry had been very
- 0:54difficult up to this point there wasn't
- 0:56very much fruit he said that on one
- 0:58occasion he travelled a whole day to
- 0:59reach a village and when he arrived only
- 1:02five people attended the meeting and no
- 1:04one got saved his heart was troubled he
- 1:07knew there must be more than this he
- 1:09would cry out Oh Lord this cannot be it
- 1:11this cannot be the impact of the
- 1:14glorious gospel it was a very difficult
- 1:16season in his life in ministry but then
- 1:18one night he had a dream that changed
- 1:20everything he saw a gigantic map of the
- 1:23African continent and as he watched it
- 1:26became washed in the precious blood of
- 1:28Jesus from south to north and from west
- 1:31to east and then he heard a mighty voice
- 1:33cried from Cape Town to Cairo all Africa
- 1:37shall be saved and he woke up was shaken
- 1:40what a wonderful dream but then as
- 1:43logical German brain caught up with him
- 1:45he thought to himself my ministry has no
- 1:47impact in this tiny little nation and
- 1:49now I hear all of Africa shall be saved
- 1:51something's wrong I must have eaten some
- 1:54bad bananas but Reinhard had that same
- 1:56dream
- 1:57the next night and the next night in the
- 1:59one after and after night number four he
- 2:01said to his wife Annie I think God is
- 2:03trying to tell me something in response
- 2:06to that dream Christ for all nations was
- 2:08born
- 2:09round our bonky together with his wife
- 2:10Annie and their small children
- 2:12embarked on an adventure that would see
- 2:14millions of people come to Christ and
- 2:16multitudes more empowered and equipped
- 2:18to preach the gospel Africa shall be
- 2:20saved
- 2:21became a battle cry for Reinhard Bonnke
- 2:24and a phrase that came to be synonymous
- 2:26with his life in the ministry of Christ
- 2:27for all nations during Reinhart's life
- 2:30his ministry saw more than 75 million
- 2:34people come to christ in a thirty year
- 2:36window just between 1987 and 2017 and by
- 2:40the time he died a couple years later
- 2:42that number had reached 79 million 1
- 2:46million salvations on average for every
- 2:48year of his life what an amazing legacy
- 2:51but you know there are many more than 79
- 2:53million souls in Africa not to mention
- 2:55the fact that many African nations
- 2:56especially in the north of the continent
- 2:59were not open to Ron our bunkie in fact
- 3:01on one scouting trip to North Africa he
- 3:03was arrested put in jail and then
- 3:05deported he also had been called to
- 3:08China a little-known fact and had a
- 3:10worldwide harvest in his heart which is
- 3:12why he named his ministry Christ for all
- 3:14the nations as fruitful as banquise
- 3:17ministry was surely there's a greater
- 3:19fulfillment yet to come and that brings
- 3:21us to the second dream in 2012 Ron are
- 3:24bulky and I were both preaching at the
- 3:26BFP annual convention in Germany in the
- 3:29night he had a dream that he shared with
- 3:30me the next morning at breakfast and
- 3:32then he repeated it that evening at the
- 3:34conference he said that his dream was so
- 3:36real he wasn't sure if he was asleep or
- 3:38awake in fact he didn't know if it was a
- 3:40dream or a vision he said he was
- 3:42projected into the future
- 3:44where he overheard two personalities
- 3:47talking they were discussing amazing
- 3:49things going on in the world at the time
- 3:50but there was one thing of particular
- 3:52interest to Reinhard one of the voices
- 3:54asked what ever happened to Ron her
- 3:56bunkie her reply was this Orion her
- 3:59bunkie was just the forerunner of a
- 4:02whole generation of holy spirit
- 4:04evangelists and then he woke up Reinhard
- 4:07lived with an awareness that he needed
- 4:09to impart something to the next
- 4:11generation for the sake of this great
- 4:13coming harvest and that's why he wrote
- 4:14books he produced media he held fire
- 4:17conferences and he preached relentlessly
- 4:19during the last few years of his life
- 4:21one of his favorite themes was passing
- 4:23the torch to the next generation he
- 4:25reached about it often as he visited
- 4:27many countries for the last time and
- 4:29this is where we come to my dream in
- 4:322017 the Lord began to speak to me about
- 4:34the upcoming decade as a decade of
- 4:37double harvest I had no idea at the time
- 4:40that Ron our bunkie would pass away less
- 4:41than a month before the beginning of the
- 4:43decade what I felt in my heart was that
- 4:45over the next 10 years or so
- 4:47God would double the number of soul
- 4:49saved to well over a hundred and fifty
- 4:52million in other words he would do in
- 4:54the next 10 years what had taken the
- 4:56previous 30 years combined it would be a
- 4:59supernatural acceleration of the harvest
- 5:01in this crucial hour of history but that
- 5:04double harvest is not the dream
- 5:06oh no that acceleration will simply be
- 5:09the catalyst for an exponentially
- 5:11greater harvest perhaps the greatest
- 5:13evangelistic movement the world has ever
- 5:15known
- 5:15propelling that whole new generation of
- 5:18holy spirit evangelists into the fields
- 5:21before Jesus returns now maybe you ask
- 5:28how is this possible do you plan to have
- 5:31larger Crusades than ever or do you plan
- 5:33to conduct more Crusades than ever and
- 5:34while we're on the subject the answer to
- 5:36that is actually yes I do believe we're
- 5:39going to see the largest Crusades we've
- 5:40ever seen and the Lord has given us some
- 5:42very specific direction on that and
- 5:44we're already seeing a stirring on the
- 5:46ground in Africa as never before also we
- 5:49are dramatically increasing the number
- 5:51of Crusades in Africa the most we've
- 5:53ever conducted in a year is eight
- 5:55Crusades but in 2020 the first year of
- 5:57the double harvest rata G we've
- 5:59increased to 13 Crusades the next year
- 6:02it will increase again to 23 Crusades
- 6:04and the following year it will nearly
- 6:06double again with 43 Crusades in one
- 6:09year
- 6:10these are SI phan gospel Crusades in
- 6:11Africa where I will personally preach
- 6:13now as exciting as all of this is the
- 6:16Lord showed me that this exponential
- 6:18increase would come not simply through
- 6:20addition that is not just because SI
- 6:23phan is conducting more Crusades and
- 6:24bigger Crusades but it would come
- 6:26through multiplication the two words the
- 6:29Lord gave me the words that are ringing
- 6:31in my heart the keys to seeing this
- 6:33dream of a worldwide harvest become
- 6:35reality are these multiplied and
- 6:38collaborate first let's start with the
- 6:41concept of multiplication
- 6:43our strategy is simple but powerful
- 6:44we're gonna multiply by training
- 6:46equipping and launching thousands of
- 6:50evangelists in fact we've already been
- 6:52doing this in a small scale for the last
- 6:54couple of years ever since the Lord
- 6:56spoke to me in 2017 our ministry has
- 6:58reconfigured everything to accommodate
- 7:00this word we've been experimenting
- 7:02testing improving and perfecting the
- 7:04system that will become the incubation
- 7:06chamber for this multiplication now I
- 7:09haven't talked publicly about this very
- 7:10much because I wanted to test these
- 7:12ideas first and make sure that they work
- 7:15and what you may not realize is that we
- 7:17have already been seeing remarkable
- 7:19results and now we have a tried and
- 7:22verified proof of concept and so now for
- 7:25the first time we're presenting the
- 7:27strategy of the decade of double harvest
- 7:29and beyond this is the dream burning in
- 7:32my heart and I believe that once you see
- 7:34it it's going to burning your heart as
- 7:36well although we have trained thousands
- 7:39of students through our school of
- 7:40evangelism throughout the years in
- 7:42January of 2020 Christ for all nations
- 7:44launched its very first evangelism boot
- 7:47camp in Orlando Florida this is a
- 7:49six-month highly intense specific
- 7:52training for crusade evangelism it's
- 7:55much more than a school as its name
- 7:57implies it combines the intensity of a
- 7:59military boot camp with the focused
- 8:01instruction of a trade school in boot
- 8:04camp students are challenged physically
- 8:05mentally spiritually and academically we
- 8:09emphasize physical fitness spiritual
- 8:11formation character development as well
- 8:13as focusing on the theological
- 8:15foundations of evangelism students are
- 8:18trained to preach the gospel heal the
- 8:20sick cast out demons and bring
- 8:22multitudes into the experience of the
- 8:24holy spirit on crusade platforms in the
- 8:26third world they learn how to preach
- 8:28cross culturally give effective altar
- 8:30calls work with interpreters and
- 8:32everything else needed to minister
- 8:34powerfully as evangelists in addition we
- 8:37teach the students all the practical
- 8:38skills that they simply cannot find
- 8:40anywhere
- 8:41things like crusade organizing
- 8:43fundraising and crusade finances working
- 8:46with local pastors follow-up new
- 8:48converts the ins and outs of
- 8:50international travel how to run an
- 8:52evangelistic ministry publicity and
- 8:54advertising Direct Mail media television
- 8:57social media web printing and publishing
- 8:59and much much more the six month
- 9:03training culminates with a three week
- 9:05initiation on the field in Africa where
- 9:08students will conduct hundreds of
- 9:09campaigns and Crusades and lead hundreds
- 9:11of thousands of people to Christ after
- 9:14graduation
- 9:15these students are invited to work
- 9:16alongside the Christ for all nations
- 9:18team worldwide to multiply the harvest
- 9:20over the next decade at the moment we
- 9:28offer them several levels of
- 9:29participation the first area of
- 9:31participation for co evangelists is what
- 9:34we call pre crusade mobilization for six
- 9:37to seven weeks leading up to one of our
- 9:39masks cosmic Crusades we are sending
- 9:41these co evangelists into the region
- 9:42where our Crusades are being held
- 9:44they're able to go into smaller villages
- 9:46where our big Crusades can't go they go
- 9:48to markets schools hospitals and prisons
- 9:51they hold Crusades on street corners and
- 9:53in football stadiums they go to local
- 9:56churches and minister one-on-one
- 9:57everywhere they go just to give you an
- 9:59example of how this works in 2019 we
- 10:01went to Nakuru in Kenya a third of the
- 10:05population of the entire city showed up
- 10:06on the last night of our meetings there
- 10:08it was amazing but even before I arrived
- 10:10for seven weeks leading up to the
- 10:12crusade we had a team of four
- 10:14evangelists on the ground preaching the
- 10:16gospel day in and day out between the
- 10:18four of them they conducted up to 32
- 10:20outreaches per day and over those seven
- 10:22weeks prior to the crusade they
- 10:24ministered in 611 outreaches and led
- 10:27more than 200,000 people to Christ I
- 10:30believe the days are coming when more
- 10:32people will be saved before the Crusades
- 10:34than during them and not because the
- 10:36Crusades are small but because there is
- 10:38such a movement of evangelism swirling
- 10:40around the Crusades they actually become
- 10:42the catalyst for something even greater
- 10:44than themselves Nakuru Kenya was just
- 10:47one of many such pre crusade
- 10:49mobilization initiatives that we've
- 10:51conducted in several cities and
- 10:53countries that have resulted in hun
- 10:55of thousands of salvations and so far
- 10:57this has only been the beta test how
- 11:00have we been able to get such amazing
- 11:01results through this precursor
- 11:03mobilization system we have three
- 11:05strategies number one gospel trucks in
- 11:08Africa our talented team of world-class
- 11:10technicians has built a fleet of
- 11:12custom-made mobile crusade units
- 11:14affectionately known as gospel trucks
- 11:16these trucks are designed for the rugged
- 11:19African terrain they're able to access
- 11:20the most difficult areas and we're able
- 11:22to preach the gospel everywhere now it's
- 11:24important to understand that these are
- 11:26not just hit-and-run evangelistic
- 11:28outreach 'as our gospel trucks are
- 11:30connected with the main Crusades
- 11:31organizing team so that each village
- 11:34outreach has participating churches
- 11:36where new converts can be connected
- 11:37asurs counselors they preach with
- 11:39interpreters they are partner with local
- 11:41pastors and sometimes even have local
- 11:43worship teams cooperating these are
- 11:45literally smaller Crusades that happen
- 11:48all over the place
- 11:49number two is school outreaches the
- 11:51median age in Africa is under 20 years
- 11:54old this fact combined with the reality
- 11:57that most people to make a decision to
- 11:58follow Christ do so in their youth make
- 12:01schools a prime target for evangelism
- 12:03now many people are under the impression
- 12:04that schools are off-limits for the
- 12:06gospel but see fans impeccable
- 12:08reputation of integrity for over 40
- 12:10years of ministry in Africa has given
- 12:13our teams access to many thousands of
- 12:15schools in Nakuru Kenya of the city I
- 12:17mentioned earlier where we saw over
- 12:19200,000 salvations in seven weeks
- 12:20our team ministered in hundreds of
- 12:22schools but here's the amazing part
- 12:25there are over 33,000 schools in Kenya
- 12:28alone and they're all open to us but
- 12:31it's not just Kenya that's open schools
- 12:33in many nations across Africa are open
- 12:35to us we just haven't have the time or
- 12:37the manpower to reach them now imagine
- 12:40if we could take the gospel to every one
- 12:41of those schools it would result in many
- 12:43millions of salvations per year but
- 12:45here's the crazy part even if we had the
- 12:48personnel to reach all of those schools
- 12:50in Africa every four years we would have
- 12:52to start over because they'd be filled
- 12:54with a whole new group of students this
- 12:56part of the vision is infinitely
- 12:58scalable all we're lacking is workers
- 13:00it's exactly what Jesus said the harvest
- 13:02is plentiful but the workers are few
- 13:04the third way is one on one you know
- 13:07everywhere these evangelists go
- 13:08they're trained to preach the gospel
- 13:10heal the sick and cast out demons
- 13:11whether they're standing on a platform
- 13:13in front of thousands or talking to the
- 13:15waitress at a restaurant to the staff in
- 13:17the hotel a flight attendant at the
- 13:19airport or people they need on the
- 13:21street everywhere they go they are
- 13:23bringing the power of the gospel into
- 13:24people's lives this is both organic and
- 13:27organized because in addition to the
- 13:29normal daily encounters they have on the
- 13:31way we also organize outreaches in
- 13:33public places where they witness
- 13:35one-on-one to people shopping in the
- 13:36markets or congregating in busy parts of
- 13:38town together these three strategies the
- 13:41gospel trucks school outreaches and
- 13:43one-on-one evangelism guarantee that
- 13:46even before the first day of one of our
- 13:47massive gospel Crusades the region has
- 13:49been shaken by the power of the gospel
- 13:51for several weeks leading up to it now
- 13:54this pre crusade mobilization initiative
- 13:56is just one of several strategies
- 13:58connected to the decade of double
- 14:00harvest I'm gonna briefly mention three
- 14:03others that represent the many different
- 14:05ways that our co evangelists will
- 14:07multiply the harvest operation -
- 14:09capitalists stand alone outreaches and
- 14:11stand alone Crusades the word Decapolis
- 14:16means ten cities the operation to
- 14:18capitalist strategy is designed to
- 14:20harness the potential of the evangelism
- 14:22bootcamp graduates working together with
- 14:25these graduates we conduct campaigns of
- 14:2710 Crusades in 10 cities over a two-week
- 14:30period the Crusades in each city last
- 14:32five or six days our Christ for all
- 14:34nations organizers technicians and
- 14:37support staff prepare these Crusades
- 14:39with the co evangelists who are the
- 14:41graduates of the boot camp and these
- 14:43guys carry the majority of the ministry
- 14:45each day I travel to a new city where a
- 14:48crusade is already ongoing I preach one
- 14:50night in each place and that I move on
- 14:52to the next with this strategy we are
- 14:54able to harness all of the tools SI phan
- 14:57has for conducting effective gospel
- 14:59Crusades while increasing the reach and
- 15:02scope of our work tenfold without adding
- 15:05any additional time or expense it's true
- 15:07multiplication next is what I'm calling
- 15:10standalone outreaches I believe that the
- 15:12harvest is so ripe that not only in
- 15:14Africa but around the world
- 15:16our village Crusades gospel trucks
- 15:18school outreaches and so on
- 15:19will not be limited to pre crusade
- 15:21mobilization in other words all of the
- 15:23above initiatives can be carried out
- 15:25independent of our mass gospel Crusades
- 15:27we're soon going to be sending teams at
- 15:30all times of the year to many different
- 15:32regions including other parts of the
- 15:33world I envision a day that these
- 15:35initiatives will be ongoing every day
- 15:37all over the world
- 15:38finally there are standalone Crusades
- 15:41now we've already been doing this for a
- 15:43long time we've been helping students
- 15:45who graduated from our evangelism
- 15:46schools to conduct their own Crusades in
- 15:48many different parts of the world and we
- 15:50do this by offering them support in
- 15:52logistics in training and resources even
- 15:55funding their Crusades from time to time
- 15:57and through these Crusades we have
- 15:59literally seen millions of people come
- 16:01to Christ in many places of the world
- 16:03without having any known connection to
- 16:05the SI phan name because you see our
- 16:06primary goal is not to get the credit
- 16:08for the harvest but to help push it
- 16:10forward in any way possible in addition
- 16:12to all of this one inevitable effect
- 16:14would be that many of these evangelists
- 16:17will launch out on their own we're
- 16:18training them and equipping them to do
- 16:20course a ministry not just in theory but
- 16:22in working with Christ for all nations
- 16:24on the field I cannot imagine a more
- 16:26effective on-the-job training
- 16:28opportunity the results of this ongoing
- 16:30harvest will be literally incalculable
- 16:33for a number of years I've been hearing
- 16:35prophetic words about a billion soul
- 16:37harvest that's coming there was a time
- 16:39when I dismissed these prophecies as
- 16:41dramatic hyper faith rhetoric but not
- 16:43anymore I really believe it's possible
- 16:46and I want to show you just how possible
- 16:47it is through multiplication now for
- 16:50those of you that are numbers people
- 16:52like me consider this if I had 2,000
- 16:55evangelists each of which was committed
- 16:57to five outreaches per year and in each
- 17:00outreach they led just ten thousand
- 17:02people to Christ now these are very
- 17:04conservative numbers by the way as we've
- 17:05proven over and over but even so that
- 17:09would equal one hundred million people
- 17:11saved per year multiply that over ten
- 17:14years and you have a billion souls and
- 17:16this is why in addition to the 40-plus
- 17:19Crusades that Christ for all nations
- 17:20will be conducting each year in Africa
- 17:22my goal is to raise up train and equip
- 17:252,000 crusade evangelists over the next
- 17:28decade this is what I mean when I say
- 17:30that the decade of double harvest is
- 17:32only the
- 17:32getting a catalyst for the greatest
- 17:35movement of world evangelism in history
- 17:37this is what I believe Ron Hurd dreamt
- 17:39about when he heard that voice saying
- 17:41Ryan our bunkie was just a forerunner of
- 17:43a whole new generation of holy spirit
- 17:45evangelists this is how I believe the
- 17:48fulfillment of the vision of a blood
- 17:50washed Africa from Cape Town to Cairo
- 17:52and beyond would be fulfilled
- 17:54now the other word the Lord gave me was
- 17:57collaborate in the past evangelists were
- 17:59seen as lone Ranger's who were unwilling
- 18:01or perhaps unable to work together and
- 18:04this is changing in our time and indeed
- 18:06it must change if we're gonna see this
- 18:08great end time harvest reaped I've had
- 18:10experiences in Africa where we needed to
- 18:13move crusade dates or venues because
- 18:14other evangelists were in the same place
- 18:16at the same time we were stepping on
- 18:18each other because of a lack of
- 18:19communication but the world is a huge
- 18:22place there's no reason that we should
- 18:24be tripping over each other in some
- 18:25regions while other places are
- 18:27completely neglected imagine if rather
- 18:30than interfering with one another we
- 18:32actually began to work together
- 18:33synergizing our efforts and resources
- 18:35for human greater impact also in my
- 18:38experience evangelists are often very
- 18:40lonely one evangelist called me recently
- 18:42to tell me about a crusade he'd just
- 18:44returned from and after many wonderful
- 18:45testimonies of what God had done there
- 18:47there was a silence he said you know
- 18:50sometimes I just feel so lonely I don't
- 18:52even know who to tell about what God was
- 18:54doing he said I just needed someone to
- 18:56talk to
- 18:57evangelists need community just like
- 18:59everyone else they need a community to
- 19:01belong to and colleagues to encourage
- 19:03them and to hold them accountable and
- 19:05this is where collaboration comes into
- 19:07play as one of the most influential
- 19:09evangelistic ministries in the world
- 19:11Christ for all nations is committed to
- 19:13using that influence to help other
- 19:15ministries and bring evangelists
- 19:17together in Kingdom collaborations for
- 19:19the sake of the harvest here are just

- 22:19gave me the words of Amos 913 which says
- 22:22behold the days are coming declares the
- 22:24Lord and the ploughman will overtake the
- 22:26Reaper and the Treader of grapes him

- 23:04and we are heading to other cities and
- 23:06other nations in the world in the days
- 23:08to come we're believing God to send
- 23:10workers into the harvest this is just
- 23:12one more way that we are working to obey
- 23:14the word to collaborate number three is
- 23:17the Christ for all nations evangelism
- 23:19Alliance pressure all nations has held
- 23:22dozens of schools of evangelism in many
- 23:24different nations of the world
- 23:25now with boot camp and other training
- 23:27initiatives the community of evangelists
- 23:29that belong to the CFN family has grown
- 23:31into the thousands we offer these
- 23:33graduates the opportunity to remain
- 23:35connected to see fan for ongoing
- 23:37training resourcing and collaboration
- 23:39this happens to the Christ for all
- 23:41nations evangelism clients
- 23:45now here's what all this means to me
- 23:48personally I became the successor of
- 23:50Reinhard Bonnke when I was just 28 years
- 23:52old it's an understatement to say that I
- 23:54felt unqualified and out of my depth at
- 23:57times I wondered why God had chosen me
- 23:59for this job and I didn't ask for this
- 24:01assignment I never even saw it coming
- 24:02never once have I believed that God put
- 24:05me in this position for my own personal
- 24:07benefit and I didn't inherit this
- 24:09ministry because of any family relation
- 24:11I've never felt entitled to it nor do I
- 24:13believe that my calling is just to
- 24:15maintain Ryanair banquise ministry for
- 24:16another 50 years I can remember on more
- 24:19than one occasion Reinhard while
- 24:20preaching a sermon stopping mid-sentence
- 24:22turning to me sitting on the front row
- 24:24pointing his finger at me and saying in
- 24:26the commanding tone Daniel you are not
- 24:28to become the custodian of my legacy
- 24:30preach the gospel what he was saying and
- 24:32what he did say many times was that he
- 24:35had no desire just to perpetuate his
- 24:37ministry for the sake of his legacy that
- 24:39was not why we are here no in this next
- 24:42season God will use this incredible
- 24:44platform Reinhard and Aunty bunkie and
- 24:46many others spent a lifetime building to
- 24:49launch that new generation of holy
- 24:51spirit evangelists into the nations in
- 24:53conclusion here is my invitation to you
- 24:55there are a few things in this life that
- 24:58are truly worthwhile as John reminds us
- 25:00the world is passing away along with its
- 25:02desires but whoever does the will of God
- 25:05abides forever what is the will of God
- 25:07Peter makes it clear that God is not
- 25:09willing that any should perish but that
- 25:11all should come to repentance and there
- 25:13is nothing dearer to the heart of God
- 25:15than souls
- 25:16daniel said those that turn many to
- 25:18righteousness will shine like the Stars
- 25:20forever and ever if you've been looking
- 25:23for something to invest in that pays
- 25:24eternal dividends I can imagine no
- 25:27better investment in this world letter
- 25:29Ravenhill said the opportunity of a
- 25:31lifetime must be seized during the
- 25:33lifetime of the opportunity I believe
- 25:35the harvest that lies before us is not
- 25:37only the opportunity of a lifetime but
- 25:39the opportunity of the ages and I want
- 25:42to invite you to stand with us and seize
- 25:44this moment for Calvary sake I'm asking
- 25:47you to make a commitment that for the
- 25:49next 10 years for the next decade the
- 25:51decade of double harvest you will stand
- 25:53with Christ for all nations to see this

- 26:51quickly if we're gonna be able to
- 26:53fulfill this vision that God has given
- 26:54us there are also a number of other
- 26:56highly strategic ways that you can give
- 26:58tour the harvest from sponsoring
- 27:00students in need to the purchasing of
