We've got somebody coming. i called my son-- i was just, think--
00:05:02.725 --> 00:05:03.326
I called my son-- i was just, think-- you know, the bible says a lot
00:05:03.393 --> 00:05:04.360
I was just, think-- you know, the bible says a lot about orphans and widows.
00:05:04.427 --> 00:05:06.229
You know, the bible says a lot about orphans and widows. so specifically calls out
00:05:06.295 --> 00:05:07.964
About orphans and widows. so specifically calls out those two groups of peoples,
00:05:08.030 --> 00:05:09.532
So specifically calls out those two groups of peoples, orphans, and widows.
00:05:09.599 --> 00:05:10.733
Those two groups of peoples, orphans, and widows. and so,
00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:12.135
Orphans, and widows. and so, it's people that are lonely,
00:05:12.201 --> 00:05:13.269
And so, it's people that are lonely, people that are by themselves
00:05:13.336 --> 00:05:14.337
It's people that are lonely, people that are by themselves that have nobody to help them.
00:05:14.404 --> 00:05:15.705
People that are by themselves that have nobody to help them. and so,
00:05:15.772 --> 00:05:17.073
That have nobody to help them. and so, i try to make sure that we do
00:05:17.140 --> 00:05:18.241
And so, i try to make sure that we do nursing home ministry
00:05:18.307 --> 00:05:19.242
I try to make sure that we do nursing home ministry and i try to make sure that we--
00:05:19.308 --> 00:05:22.245
Nursing home ministry and i try to make sure that we-- i thought about orphans.
00:05:22.311 --> 00:05:23.312
And i try to make sure that we-- i thought about orphans. i thought, "well, we've got,
00:05:23.379 --> 00:05:24.113
I thought about orphans. i thought, "well, we've got, you know, a few orphanages
00:05:24.180 --> 00:05:24.947
I thought, "well, we've got, you know, a few orphanages around the world,
00:05:25.014 --> 00:05:25.515
You know, a few orphanages around the world, but what about my own city?
00:05:25.581 --> 00:05:27.083
Around the world, but what about my own city? what can we do for
00:05:27.150 --> 00:05:28.284
But what about my own city? what can we do for the orphans in our city?"
00:05:28.351 --> 00:05:29.619
What can we do for the orphans in our city?" so, you know, if you really
00:05:29.685 --> 00:05:31.721
The orphans in our city?" so, you know, if you really wanna help people,
00:05:31.788 --> 00:05:32.522
So, you know, if you really wanna help people, sometimes you gotta
00:05:32.588 --> 00:05:33.256
Wanna help people, sometimes you gotta get aggressive.
00:05:33.322 --> 00:05:34.023
Sometimes you gotta get aggressive. you can't wait for, you know,
00:05:34.090 --> 00:05:35.091
Get aggressive. you can't wait for, you know, god to come beat you over
00:05:35.158 --> 00:05:36.092
You can't wait for, you know, god to come beat you over the head and make
00:05:36.159 --> 00:05:36.859
God to come beat you over the head and make you help somebody.
00:05:36.926 --> 00:05:37.560
The head and make you help somebody. you gotta ask a few questions
00:05:37.627 --> 00:05:39.662
You help somebody. you gotta ask a few questions and dig around a little bit.
00:05:39.729 --> 00:05:40.730
You gotta ask a few questions and dig around a little bit. so, i called my son who's over
00:05:40.797 --> 00:05:43.232
And dig around a little bit. so, i called my son who's over our missions and i said,
00:05:43.299 --> 00:05:44.467
So, i called my son who's over our missions and i said, "i want you to contact
00:05:44.534 --> 00:05:45.568
Our missions and i said, "i want you to contact the orphanages in this city
00:05:45.635 --> 00:05:46.936
"i want you to contact the orphanages in this city and see what we can
00:05:47.003 --> 00:05:47.804
The orphanages in this city and see what we can do to help 'em.
00:05:47.870 --> 00:05:49.906
And see what we can do to help 'em. is there something
00:05:49.972 --> 00:05:50.573
Do to help 'em. is there something we can do to help them."
00:05:50.640 --> 00:05:52.141
Is there something we can do to help them." and so, somebody that
00:05:52.208 --> 00:05:54.977
We can do to help them." and so, somebody that works for us met with
00:05:55.044 --> 00:05:55.812
And so, somebody that works for us met with all the orphanages and we found
00:05:55.878 --> 00:05:58.948
Works for us met with all the orphanages and we found out all about fostering
00:05:59.015 --> 00:06:00.183
All the orphanages and we found out all about fostering and this and that and something

And this and that and something else and different supplies they needed.
00:06:03.019 --> 00:06:03.419
Else and different supplies they needed. and so, we've got a man
00:06:03.486 --> 00:06:04.353
They needed. and so, we've got a man coming in that represents
00:06:04.420 --> 00:06:05.354
And so, we've got a man coming in that represents all the orphanages
00:06:05.421 --> 00:06:06.456

Do you know that i read--? and this sounds almost impossible,
00:06:16.265 --> 00:06:17.166
And this sounds almost impossible, but i read that if one family
00:06:17.233 --> 00:06:20.770
Almost impossible, but i read that if one family out of every evangelical
00:06:20.837 --> 00:06:22.538
But i read that if one family out of every evangelical church in america
00:06:22.605 --> 00:06:25.174
Out of every evangelical church in america would adopt a child,
00:06:25.241 --> 00:06:27.743
