00:05:39.929 --> 00:05:41.063
Many times when she had cried herself to sleep at night as a little girl
00:05:41.130 --> 00:05:42.265
Cried herself to sleep at night as a little girl because her dad was gone.
00:05:42.331 --> 00:05:43.566
At night as a little girl because her dad was gone. he wasn't gone as much
00:05:43.633 --> 00:05:44.667
Because her dad was gone. he wasn't gone as much as you were, but she missed
00:05:44.734 --> 00:05:47.069
He wasn't gone as much as you were, but she missed her daddy, right?
00:05:47.136 --> 00:05:49.906
As you were, but she missed her daddy, right? well, she went to one of
00:05:49.972 --> 00:05:51.407
Her daddy, right? well, she went to one of these malnutrition clinics.
00:05:51.474 --> 00:05:53.342
Well, she went to one of these malnutrition clinics. she knelt down with isak,
00:05:53.409 --> 00:05:56.512
These malnutrition clinics. she knelt down with isak, and she saw a child
00:05:56.579 --> 00:05:58.714
She knelt down with isak, and she saw a child who was malnourished.
00:05:58.781 --> 00:06:00.883
And she saw a child who was malnourished. she said, "i get it now.
00:06:00.950 --> 00:06:04.253
Who was malnourished. she said, "i get it now. i understand."
00:06:04.320 --> 00:06:06.088
She said, "i get it now. i understand." when i looked over,
00:06:06.155 --> 00:06:07.256
I understand." when i looked over, i saw isak and keira
00:06:07.323 --> 00:06:08.624
When i looked over, i saw isak and keira just hugging.
00:06:08.691 --> 00:06:10.193
I saw isak and keira just hugging. i was like, what has
00:06:10.259 --> 00:06:11.694
Just hugging. i was like, what has just happened?
00:06:11.761 --> 00:06:13.062
I was like, what has just happened? well, it was that revelation
00:06:13.129 --> 00:06:14.864
Just happened? well, it was that revelation of god's heart to reach out
00:06:14.931 --> 00:06:18.100
Well, it was that revelation of god's heart to reach out and save that one.
00:06:18.167 --> 00:06:20.670
Of god's heart to reach out and save that one. just that one.
00:06:20.736 --> 00:06:22.371
And save that one. just that one. because a lot of times
00:06:22.438 --> 00:06:23.506
Just that one. because a lot of times we get lost in the numbers,
00:06:23.573 --> 00:06:24.941
Because a lot of times we get lost in the numbers, whether it's preaching
00:06:25.007 --> 00:06:26.042
We get lost in the numbers, whether it's preaching the gospel to salvation
00:06:26.108 --> 00:06:27.410
Whether it's preaching the gospel to salvation or whether it's reaching out
00:06:27.477 --> 00:06:28.644
The gospel to salvation or whether it's reaching out in these mission outreaches,
00:06:28.711 --> 00:06:30.146
Or whether it's reaching out in these mission outreaches, we get lost in
00:06:30.213 --> 00:06:31.347
In these mission outreaches, we get lost in these big numbers.
00:06:31.414 --> 00:06:32.515
We get lost in these big numbers. and 350,000 children
00:06:32.582 --> 00:06:33.916
These big numbers. and 350,000 children being fed every day right now
00:06:33.983 --> 00:06:35.585
And 350,000 children being fed every day right now is a big number.
00:06:35.651 --> 00:06:36.919
Being fed every day right now is a big number. i get it, and i want
00:06:36.986 --> 00:06:38.020
Is a big number. i get it, and i want to see it go up.
00:06:38.087 --> 00:06:39.388
I get it, and i want to see it go up. but when you look in
00:06:39.455 --> 00:06:40.790
To see it go up. but when you look in the scriptures, jesus talks
00:06:40.857 --> 00:06:42.425
But when you look in the scriptures, jesus talks about the one
00:06:42.492 --> 00:06:44.360
The scriptures, jesus talks about the one over and over.
00:06:44.427 --> 00:06:46.262
About the one over and over. he told parables about it,
00:06:46.329 --> 00:06:48.364
Over and over. he told parables about it, leaving the 99 to get
00:06:48.431 --> 00:06:50.099
He told parables about it, leaving the 99 to get that one lost sheep.
00:06:50.166 --> 00:06:52.935
Leaving the 99 to get that one lost sheep. the good samaritan was about
00:06:53.002 --> 00:06:54.937
That one lost sheep. the good samaritan was about helping one person
00:06:55.004 --> 00:06:56.906
The good samaritan was about helping one person who was in that ditch
00:06:56.973 --> 00:06:58.641
Helping one person who was in that ditch and in pain.
00:06:58.708 --> 00:07:00.209
Who was in that ditch and in pain. there is something in
00:07:00.276 --> 00:07:01.711
And in pain. there is something in god's heart about reaching,
00:07:01.777 --> 00:07:04.614
There is something in god's heart about reaching, about saving just one.
00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:08.384
God's heart about reaching, about saving just one. understanding the power
00:07:08.451 --> 00:07:10.019
About saving just one. understanding the power of that, i think should
00:07:10.086 --> 00:07:12.021
Understanding the power of that, i think should get everyone excited
00:07:12.088 --> 00:07:14.423
Of that, i think should get everyone excited about missions,
00:07:14.490 --> 00:07:16.559
Get everyone excited about missions, about preaching the gospel,
00:07:16.626 --> 00:07:18.461
About missions, about preaching the gospel, about demonstrating
00:07:18.528 --> 00:07:19.996
About preaching the gospel, about demonstrating the gospel because
00:07:20.062 --> 00:07:21.330
About demonstrating the gospel because it's a one-at-a-time endeavor
00:07:21.397 --> 00:07:24.934
The gospel because it's a one-at-a-time endeavor that we're on.
00:07:25.001 --> 00:07:26.569
It's a one-at-a-time endeavor that we're on. and we can all do it.
00:07:26.636 --> 00:07:27.737
That we're on. and we can all do it. james: the fact is,
00:07:27.803 --> 00:07:29.171
And we can all do it. james: the fact is, it's about everyone,
00:07:29.238 --> 00:07:31.674
James: the fact is, it's about everyone, which is every one.
00:07:31.741 --> 00:07:34.176
It's about everyone, which is every one. jesus never overlooked
00:07:34.243 --> 00:07:35.845
Which is every one. jesus never overlooked the one.
00:07:35.912 --> 00:07:37.213
Jesus never overlooked the one. he never overlooked
00:07:37.280 --> 00:07:38.414
The one. he never overlooked the least of these.
00:07:38.481 --> 00:07:39.582
He never overlooked the least of these. i feel like i was, above all,
00:07:39.649 --> 00:07:41.584
The least of these. i feel like i was, above all, the least of these.
00:07:41.651 --> 00:07:42.718
I feel like i was, above all, the least of these. believe it or not,
00:07:42.785 --> 00:07:43.853
The least of these. believe it or not, this precious little
00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:44.921
Church girl thought that
00:07:45.021 --> 00:07:46.055
Church girl thought that about herself.
00:07:46.122 --> 00:07:47.356
Church girl thought that about herself. she knew church, but
00:07:47.423 --> 00:07:48.658
About herself. she knew church, but she didn't know jesus.
00:07:48.724 --> 00:07:50.326
She knew church, but she didn't know jesus. i never had a home.
00:07:50.393 --> 00:07:51.627
She didn't know jesus. i never had a home. i met jesus, and he was
00:07:51.694 --> 00:07:53.195
So real
00:07:53.296 --> 00:07:54.697
So real it was like he was --
00:07:54.764 --> 00:07:56.065
So real it was like he was -- i could feel him.
00:07:56.132 --> 00:07:58.367
It was like he was -- i could feel him. when i told her that,
00:07:58.434 --> 00:08:00.202
I could feel him. when i told her that, she realized he wasn't
00:08:00.269 --> 00:08:01.270
When i told her that, she realized he wasn't that real to her.
00:08:01.337 --> 00:08:02.371
She realized he wasn't that real to her. in a few days,
00:08:02.438 --> 00:08:03.573
That real to her. in a few days, she trusted him.
00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:04.740
In a few days, she trusted him. boy, has she been a giant.
00:08:04.807 --> 00:08:07.043
She trusted him. boy, has she been a giant. but the point is that
00:08:07.109 --> 00:08:08.911
Boy, has she been a giant. but the point is that he wants everybody to know
00:08:08.978 --> 00:08:11.247
But the point is that he wants everybody to know that sheep he would come get,
00:08:11.314 --> 00:08:13.916
He wants everybody to know that sheep he would come get, you're that sheep,
00:08:13.983 --> 00:08:15.184
That sheep he would come get, you're that sheep, you're that important.
00:08:15.251 --> 00:08:16.185
You're that sheep, you're that important. but every one of you
00:08:16.252 --> 00:08:17.286
You're that important. but every one of you in a crowd
00:08:17.353 --> 00:08:18.487
But every one of you in a crowd is the one important.
00:08:18.554 --> 00:08:19.722
In a crowd is the one important. that's what i think
00:08:19.789 --> 00:08:20.790
Is the one important. that's what i think our viewers get.
00:08:20.856 --> 00:08:21.924
That's what i think our viewers get. betty: just like y'all said,

Betty: just like y'all said, god wants each one of us to feel special.
00:08:24.794 --> 00:08:27.129
God wants each one of us to feel special. as a mother of three children
00:08:27.196 --> 00:08:29.398
To feel special. as a mother of three children growing up, i wanted
00:08:29.465 --> 00:08:30.933
As a mother of three children growing up, i wanted each one of them to know
00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:32.735
Growing up, i wanted each one of them to know from their mother
00:08:32.802 --> 00:08:34.270
Each one of them to know from their mother that they were special
00:08:34.337 --> 00:08:35.805
From their mother that they were special in their own way;
00:08:35.871 --> 00:08:36.973
That they were special in their own way; they weren't all alike but
00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:38.574
In their own way; they weren't all alike but in their own different ways.
00:08:38.641 --> 00:08:40.209
They weren't all alike but in their own different ways. i tried to notice the gifts
00:08:40.276 --> 00:08:41.811
In their own different ways. i tried to notice the gifts that god put
00:08:41.877 --> 00:08:43.012
I tried to notice the gifts that god put in each one of them.
00:08:43.079 --> 00:08:44.814
That god put in each one of them. they didn't have to be like
00:08:44.880 --> 00:08:45.982
In each one of them. they didn't have to be like the other one.
00:08:46.048 --> 00:08:47.383
They didn't have to be like the other one. well, god doesn't want you
00:08:47.450 --> 00:08:48.584
The other one. well, god doesn't want you to necessarily be like

The other one. he wants you to be who he created you to be.
00:08:52.355 --> 00:08:54.857
He wants you to be who he created you to be. you're the one.

Who he created you to be. you're the one. you're unique,
00:08:56.092 --> 00:08:57.193
You're the one. you're unique, you're different.
00:08:57.259 --> 00:08:58.694
You're unique, you're different. he likes that.

For over 40 years in total. that's just in the mission feeding and drilling
00:15:05.060 --> 00:15:06.462
That's just in the mission feeding and drilling the water wells.
00:15:06.528 --> 00:15:07.596
Feeding and drilling the water wells. and i'm not going to stop
00:15:07.663 --> 00:15:08.697
The water wells. and i'm not going to stop until every village
00:15:08.764 --> 00:15:10.399
And i'm not going to stop until every village that doesn't have water
00:15:10.466 --> 00:15:11.433
Until every village that doesn't have water has water.
00:15:11.500 --> 00:15:12.968
That doesn't have water has water. but i can't do that
00:15:13.035 --> 00:15:14.103
Has water. but i can't do that without help from you.

But i can't do that without help from you. i want you to be
00:15:15.971 --> 00:15:16.972
In everything we do
00:15:18.607 --> 00:15:20.209
In everything we do because we're giving
00:15:20.275 --> 00:15:21.243
Because we're giving his life.
00:15:21.310 --> 00:15:22.411

00:15:22.478 --> 00:15:23.812
Right now, we've got 350,000 needy children
00:15:23.879 --> 00:15:27.049
350,000 needy children and their families located.
00:15:27.116 --> 00:15:29.485
And their families located. all they're waiting for
00:15:29.551 --> 00:15:30.819
All they're waiting for is for us to tell them,
00:15:30.886 --> 00:15:32.554
Is for us to tell them, help is on the way.
00:15:32.621 --> 00:15:34.323
Help is on the way. right now, would you pray
00:15:34.390 --> 00:15:38.761
Right now, would you pray and say, god, what can

And say, god, what can i do to touch
00:15:40.029 --> 00:15:41.497
I do to touch the least of these?
00:15:41.563 --> 00:15:43.532
The least of these? what can i do
00:15:43.599 --> 00:15:45.868
What can i do to touch that person
00:15:45.934 --> 00:15:47.069
To touch that person you gave your life for?
00:15:47.136 --> 00:15:49.671
You gave your life for? would you please?
00:15:49.738 --> 00:15:51.240
Would you please? and then would you get
00:15:51.306 --> 00:15:52.274

Your bank card and make the best gift you can?
00:15:53.709 --> 00:15:56.178
Randy: can i mention
00:15:57.646 --> 00:15:58.714
Because i discovered
00:15:59.915 --> 00:16:00.816
Because i discovered something when i was
00:16:00.883 --> 00:16:01.917
Something when i was in south sudan.
00:16:01.984 --> 00:16:03.185
In south sudan. and that is the power of
00:16:03.252 --> 00:16:05.954
And that is the power of the funding that we give,
00:16:06.021 --> 00:16:07.723
To mission feeding
00:16:09.391 --> 00:16:11.593
To mission feeding is multiplied in the field
00:16:11.660 --> 00:16:14.029
To mission feeding is multiplied in the field by the influence we have
00:16:14.096 --> 00:16:15.631
Is multiplied in the field by the influence we have with multinational
00:16:15.697 --> 00:16:17.332
By the influence we have with multinational organizations, a lot
00:16:17.399 --> 00:16:18.600
With multinational organizations, a lot of aid agencies that
00:16:18.667 --> 00:16:19.835
Organizations, a lot of aid agencies that you would recognize.
00:16:19.902 --> 00:16:21.470
Of aid agencies that you would recognize. because we provide
00:16:21.537 --> 00:16:22.938
You would recognize. because we provide the funding, we are also able
00:16:23.005 --> 00:16:24.773
Because we provide the funding, we are also able to secure ancillary things
00:16:24.840 --> 00:16:27.209
The funding, we are also able to secure ancillary things that make the mission
00:16:27.276 --> 00:16:28.343
To secure ancillary things that make the mission feeding program just explode.
00:16:28.410 --> 00:16:31.313
That make the mission feeding program just explode. it could be as something
00:16:31.380 --> 00:16:32.648
Feeding program just explode. it could be as something as simple as getting
00:16:32.714 --> 00:16:34.116
It could be as something as simple as getting on one of their planes
00:16:34.183 --> 00:16:35.317
As simple as getting on one of their planes to fly somebody into
00:16:35.384 --> 00:16:36.485
On one of their planes to fly somebody into a critical location
00:16:36.552 --> 00:16:37.619
To fly somebody into a critical location or getting some
00:16:37.686 --> 00:16:38.754
A critical location or getting some additional food supplies.
00:16:38.821 --> 00:16:40.923
Or getting some additional food supplies. all of that is
00:16:40.989 --> 00:16:43.158
Additional food supplies. all of that is a little uncertain right now.
00:16:43.225 --> 00:16:46.161
All of that is a little uncertain right now. when you look at
00:16:46.228 --> 00:16:47.329
A little uncertain right now. when you look at the political situation
00:16:47.396 --> 00:16:48.497
When you look at the political situation here in our country,
00:16:48.564 --> 00:16:49.731
The political situation here in our country, you look at the instability
00:16:49.798 --> 00:16:50.766
Here in our country, you look at the instability in a lot of

You look at the instability in a lot of european countries, as well
00:16:51.867 --> 00:16:52.968
In a lot of european countries, as well as on the ground in some
00:16:53.035 --> 00:16:54.169
European countries, as well as on the ground in some of the african countries.
00:16:54.236 --> 00:16:55.370
As on the ground in some of the african countries. a lot of people right now
00:16:55.437 --> 00:16:56.405
Of the african countries. a lot of people right now are asking, can we depend
00:16:56.472 --> 00:16:57.940
A lot of people right now are asking, can we depend on some of the
00:16:58.006 --> 00:16:59.007
Are asking, can we depend on some of the governmental organizations
00:16:59.074 --> 00:17:00.309
On some of the governmental organizations out there?
00:17:00.375 --> 00:17:01.977
Governmental organizations out there? i want them to know
00:17:02.044 --> 00:17:03.145
Out there? i want them to know they can depend on
00:17:03.212 --> 00:17:04.246
I want them to know they can depend on god's people.
00:17:04.313 --> 00:17:05.380
They can depend on god's people. it's critical that we step up
00:17:05.447 --> 00:17:06.782
God's people. it's critical that we step up right now during this time.
00:17:06.849 --> 00:17:09.318
It's critical that we step up right now during this time. so whatever happens
00:17:09.384 --> 00:17:10.419
Right now during this time. so whatever happens on a political level
00:17:10.486 --> 00:17:11.987
So whatever happens on a political level doesn't matter, because
00:17:12.054 --> 00:17:13.522
On a political level doesn't matter, because the church rises up and says,
00:17:13.589 --> 00:17:16.291
Doesn't matter, because the church rises up and says, i'll take care of that one.
00:17:16.358 --> 00:17:18.427
The church rises up and says, i'll take care of that one. that's my prayer right now
00:17:18.494 --> 00:17:20.262
I'll take care of that one. that's my prayer right now during the immediate future.

In mission feeding to feed

We have located in areas
00:17:31.740 --> 00:17:33.308

00:17:33.375 --> 00:17:34.710
Where we've turned

Everything around
00:17:36.311 --> 00:17:37.846

There are many more to go.
00:17:39.214 --> 00:17:41.150

When we serve god by reaching out and noticing those in need.
00:21:08.623 --> 00:21:11.193
By reaching out and noticing those in need. it puts a song
00:21:11.259 --> 00:21:12.461

On an airplane and they're out singing and they're singing songs
00:21:27.509 --> 00:21:28.844
And they're out singing and they're singing songs they learned in churches
00:21:28.910 --> 00:21:30.212
And they're singing songs they learned in churches that we helped build
00:21:30.278 --> 00:21:31.346
They learned in churches that we helped build right there in the midst
00:21:31.413 --> 00:21:32.814
That we helped build right there in the midst of where they were dying.
00:21:32.881 --> 00:21:34.349

Amanda: i think that's
00:22:02.711 --> 00:22:03.779
Amanda: i think that's the one trick of the enemy
00:22:03.845 --> 00:22:04.946
The one trick of the enemy is...
00:22:05.013 --> 00:22:06.248
Is... i was abused and the one
00:22:06.314 --> 00:22:07.649
I was abused and the one thing that those people said,
00:22:07.716 --> 00:22:08.850
Thing that those people said, "you better never say a word."
00:22:08.917 --> 00:22:10.952
To keep quiet --
00:22:12.254 --> 00:22:13.255
To keep quiet -- to keep quiet --
00:22:13.321 --> 00:22:14.423
To keep quiet -- to keep quiet -- shove it under the rug --
00:22:14.489 --> 00:22:15.424
To keep quiet -- shove it under the rug -- shove it back.
00:22:15.490 --> 00:22:16.525
Shove it under the rug -- shove it back. james: started when
00:22:16.591 --> 00:22:17.559
Shove it back. james: started when you were how old?
00:22:17.626 --> 00:22:18.593
James: started when you were how old? amanda: i was five
00:22:18.660 --> 00:22:19.661
You were how old? amanda: i was five and it went on 'til i was
00:22:19.728 --> 00:22:20.729
Amanda: i was five and it went on 'til i was about nine.
00:22:20.796 --> 00:22:21.863
And it went on 'til i was about nine. james: and it went with
00:22:21.930 --> 00:22:22.931
About nine. james: and it went with several different people?
00:22:22.998 --> 00:22:24.099
Different people.
00:22:25.534 --> 00:22:26.601
Different people. so i carried this shame
00:22:26.668 --> 00:22:27.836
So i carried this shame that i couldn't talk about;
00:22:27.903 --> 00:22:28.970
That i couldn't talk about; i couldn't tell anyone about.
00:22:29.037 --> 00:22:30.071
At a very young age
00:22:31.273 --> 00:22:32.307
At a very young age on the outside when
00:22:32.374 --> 00:22:33.608
At a very young age on the outside when on the inside i was dying.
00:22:33.675 --> 00:22:35.110
On the outside when on the inside i was dying. so i never thought that
00:22:35.177 --> 00:22:36.278
On the inside i was dying. so i never thought that i would have a happy home,
00:22:36.344 --> 00:22:38.980
So i never thought that i would have a happy home, never thought that i would
00:22:39.047 --> 00:22:40.282
I would have a happy home, never thought that i would deserve the kind of love
00:22:40.348 --> 00:22:41.783
Never thought that i would deserve the kind of love that my heart desired.
00:22:41.850 --> 00:22:43.151
Deserve the kind of love that my heart desired. we always think, once upon
00:22:43.218 --> 00:22:44.519
That my heart desired. we always think, once upon a time and the happily
00:22:44.586 --> 00:22:45.620
We always think, once upon a time and the happily ever after, i never dreamed
00:22:45.687 --> 00:22:46.855
A time and the happily ever after, i never dreamed that that would be mine.
00:22:46.922 --> 00:22:48.490
Ever after, i never dreamed that that would be mine. so when i met aaron i told him
00:22:48.557 --> 00:22:51.226
That that would be mine. so when i met aaron i told him enough about my story for me
00:22:51.293 --> 00:22:53.061
So when i met aaron i told him enough about my story for me to somewhat sleep at night
00:22:53.128 --> 00:22:55.397
Enough about my story for me to somewhat sleep at night but he knew very little
00:22:55.464 --> 00:22:56.798
To somewhat sleep at night but he knew very little about where i had been
00:22:56.865 --> 00:22:58.233
But he knew very little about where i had been and what had happened to me,
00:22:58.300 --> 00:22:59.935
About where i had been and what had happened to me, and the shame that i carried.
00:23:00.001 --> 00:23:02.938
And what had happened to me, and the shame that i carried. i was damaged goods,
00:23:03.004 --> 00:23:05.140
And the shame that i carried. i was damaged goods, and therefore,
00:23:05.207 --> 00:23:06.241
I was damaged goods, and therefore, my life didn't matter.
00:23:06.308 --> 00:23:07.876
And therefore, my life didn't matter. so after about two years
00:23:07.943 --> 00:23:09.211
My life didn't matter. so after about two years of marriage, of just
00:23:09.277 --> 00:23:10.445
So after about two years of marriage, of just pure torment from the enemy
00:23:10.512 --> 00:23:12.714
Of marriage, of just pure torment from the enemy taunting me, "look at you
00:23:12.781 --> 00:23:13.715
Pure torment from the enemy taunting me, "look at you traveling around in this
00:23:13.782 --> 00:23:15.317
Taunting me, "look at you traveling around in this world-renown ministry
00:23:15.383 --> 00:23:16.785
Traveling around in this world-renown ministry and your husband doesn't
00:23:16.852 --> 00:23:17.919
World-renown ministry and your husband doesn't even know who you are."
00:23:17.986 --> 00:23:19.488
And your husband doesn't even know who you are." on one end he is telling me,
00:23:19.554 --> 00:23:21.857
Even know who you are." on one end he is telling me, "you can't ever tell him
00:23:21.923 --> 00:23:23.158
On one end he is telling me, "you can't ever tell him because what will
00:23:23.225 --> 00:23:24.226
"you can't ever tell him because what will they think of you?"
00:23:24.292 --> 00:23:25.293
Because what will they think of you?" and on the other end,
00:23:25.360 --> 00:23:26.495
They think of you?" and on the other end, "look at you!
00:23:26.561 --> 00:23:27.629
And on the other end, "look at you! because you won't tell them
00:23:27.696 --> 00:23:28.797
"look at you! because you won't tell them they don't even know
00:23:28.864 --> 00:23:29.865
Because you won't tell them they don't even know who you are."
00:23:29.931 --> 00:23:31.066
They don't even know who you are." it was this constant torment.
00:23:31.132 --> 00:23:33.134
Who you are." it was this constant torment. so i screamed out to god
00:23:33.201 --> 00:23:34.669
It was this constant torment. so i screamed out to god after about two years
00:23:34.736 --> 00:23:35.837
So i screamed out to god after about two years of marriage and i said, "god,
00:23:35.904 --> 00:23:37.239
After about two years of marriage and i said, "god, if you don't do something
00:23:37.305 --> 00:23:39.841
Of marriage and i said, "god, if you don't do something in my life, i will walk.
00:23:39.908 --> 00:23:42.711
If you don't do something in my life, i will walk. i will leave because
00:23:42.777 --> 00:23:43.845
In my life, i will walk. i will leave because abandonment and all
00:23:43.912 --> 00:23:44.980
I will leave because abandonment and all of this stuff that
00:23:45.046 --> 00:23:46.114
Abandonment and all of this stuff that i so feared, i told god,
00:23:46.181 --> 00:23:48.884
Of this stuff that i so feared, i told god, "i'd rather walk, because
00:23:48.950 --> 00:23:50.485
I so feared, i told god, "i'd rather walk, because when he finds out, he'll walk
00:23:50.552 --> 00:23:52.153
"i'd rather walk, because when he finds out, he'll walk and i don't want to be
00:23:52.220 --> 00:23:53.355
When he finds out, he'll walk and i don't want to be the one left standing."
00:23:53.421 --> 00:23:55.357
And i don't want to be the one left standing." so after screaming
00:23:55.423 --> 00:23:56.725
The one left standing." so after screaming that out to god, i walked off
00:23:56.791 --> 00:23:57.959
So after screaming that out to god, i walked off our bus.
00:23:58.026 --> 00:23:59.127
That out to god, i walked off our bus. my job was to kind of man
00:23:59.194 --> 00:24:00.462
Our bus. my job was to kind of man the product table at that

So this lady came up to this product table in central city, kentucky,

To this product table in central city, kentucky, and we had never met her,

In central city, kentucky, and we had never met her, didn't know her,
