 Okay, welcome everyone. Sorry. We are a few minutes late. Can we just open in prayer? Is someone be willing to open us in prayer? Dear Heavenly Father, thank you very much for bringing us here for this class, Heavenly Father. Heavenly Father, please, my dearest, this class, Heavenly Father, help us to learn something new through my Heavenly Father, and help us to keep it in my Heavenly Father. And thank you very much. Good opportunity here to learn and understand about your Word, Heavenly Father. Please, my dearest, this class, Heavenly Father, in Jesus' name we pray. Amen. Okay, thank you. So welcome back. I think we received, I received everyone, I mean, whoever sent in their names of who they're going to be presenting on. I've got most people, but if you haven't yet sent it in, please do. Deadline is over, so your marks will be affected, but yeah, you still have to do the presentation, otherwise you won't get any marks. So yeah, if you haven't yet sent in the names, send it in, and we'll have to then look at how you prepare for your presentation and all of that. So I'll post the dates today or tomorrow. So you all can just look on Google Classroom, the dates for presentations and all of that. Sorry, I'll just pull up the map for this. Okay, so last week we stopped at where Paul arrived at Athens in the second missionary journey. So we'll continue from there. I think that's Acts 17, verse 16 is where we stopped. I'll share screen with the map. Okay, thank you. So I'll just share screen so that we have the map up. Sorry. Okay, okay, thank you. So yeah, we just stopped at that introduction of where he derived at Athens and we looked at a few different things about Athens, mainly looked at the Epicurean and Stoicism and what was the difference between the two. So a few more things about Athens is it was very religious. So there are many ways we can recognize how religious it was. One is in Acts itself, it says that Paul saw a lot of idols in that place and he was disturbed by it. But it was said that Athens had more idols than any other part of Greece. So it had more idols than any other place. It was named after the Greek goddess Athena. So there was someone named Geus Petronius who was a Roman courtier and he had said satirically that it was easier to find a god in Athens than to find a man. So that's how common idol worship was there. And it was also seen to be as one big altar, one great offering to God. They viewed it with such pride that there was so much idol worship and it was so strongly religious. So Paul chooses to engage the people in ways that are relevant to them because it's such a religious place and it was also such a strong place of learning. So it was a center of art, of science, of learning, of philosophy. So there were lots of thinkers in that place. There were lots of people who liked to engage their minds. And so when Paul talks to them and sharing the gospel with them, he is using all of that, all of those parts of their culture in the ways he presents the gospel to them. So we see first that he talks about the idol or the thing that they have to an unknown god. They have that stand and so he starts there with the gospel. But then as he continues, he presents it in a way that would also address the intellectuals of that time. So he uses the opportunities that are available to him and the spaces that he chooses to be in. So he goes to the marketplace where people were engaging in such discussions. He goes there to also share his views, to share the gospel in that space. So the Gora was the marketplace of that time. And in the marketplace was where political, governmental, philosophical discussions were held. And so philosophers would go there and they would start to engage with people on questions regarding different things like meaning of life, what the people believed in, all of that happened in the marketplace. So when Paul goes and shares there, there are people who disagree with him and then they call him to the Areopagus to share his faith. So we look a little bit more at that. Let's just go to Acts 17. Maybe we can read from verse 16 to verse 23. Someone can read from verse 16 to 23. Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him when he saw that the city was given over to idols. Therefore he reasoned in a synagogue with the Jews and with the Gentile worshipers and in the marketplace daily with those who happen to be there. Then certain Epicurean and Stoic philosophers encountered him. And some said, what does this blabber want to say? Others said he seems to be a proclamer of following gods because he preached to them Jesus and the resurrection. And they took him and brought him to the Areopagus saying, may we know what this new doctrine is of which you speak? For you are bringing some strange things to our ears. Therefore you want to know what these things mean. For all the Athenians and the foreigners who spend their time in nothing else but either to tell or to hear some new thing. Then Paul stood in the midst of the Areopagus and said, men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you are very religious. For as I was passing through and considering the objects of your worship, I even found an altar with this inscription to the unknown god, therefore the one whom you worship without knowing him I proclaim to you. Okay, thank you. So the Areopagus was a place where leaders of the city would gather and that is where a lot of the judicial or the cultural or educational religious decisions were made. So that's where big decisions were discussed about. So Paul is invited here to these group of leaders to share about what is this new god you're talking about and he observes what is happening in the city. He recognizes that there is so much reverence to gods given there and he uses that to start in his sharing of the gospel. He also uses this one place where there is obvious, they recognize their own ignorance to the unknown god. They themselves are saying we don't know who this god is and he's using that as an opening to say, let me tell you about this god and so he starts to share about Jesus in this context. As he presents to them, there are different responses to what he shares. So we read in verses 32 to 34. When they heard about the resurrection of the dead, some of them sneered but others said we want to hear you again on this subject. At that Paul left the council. Some of the people became followers of Paul and believed. Among them was Dionysius, a member of the Areopagus, also a woman named Demaris and a number of others. So again that different range of responses. This is verses 32 to 34 of Acts 17. But what does Paul do? He preaches the resurrection of the dead. He doesn't preach only the things that they want to hear or the things that are going to be accepted by them. He uses their culture. He uses things from their own poets, all of those things to present the gospel. But he presents the whole gospel. He presents the whole truth to them and then gives them the opportunity to respond. So some people believe, some people are laughing or mocking him and some people want to hear more. We get that range of responses. But the beautiful thing is that he's gone right up to the leaders of the city and we see that some of them actually become believers. So an amazing opening that God makes for the gospel in that area. From there we see that Paul then leaves Athens and then he goes on to Corinth. But he leaves Timothy there. He sends Timothy from there. First Thessalonians 3, 1 and 2. If someone can read, he sends Timothy to Thessalonica. Therefore when we could no longer endure it, we thought it good to be left in Athens alone and sent Timothy, our brother and minister of God and a fellow labrador in the Gospel of Christ to establish you and encourage you concerning your faith. Okay. Thank you. So if we look on the map, so he was in Athens, right, then you're the coast and then he goes across. So all of this is in Greece, right? He goes across that little bridge that's there into Corinth on the other side. So let's go on into Acts 18. If someone can read Acts 18, 1 to 17. Acts 18, 1 to? 17. Acts chapter 18 verse 1 to 17. After these things Paul departed from Athens and went to Corinth and he found a certain Jew named Aquila, born to Pontus, who had recently come from Italy and his wife Friscula because Claudus had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome and he came to them. So because he was of the same trade, he stayed with them and worked for by occupation, they were tent makers and he reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath and persuaded both Jews and Greeks. When Silas and Timothy had come from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the spirit and testified to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ. But when they opposed him and blaspheme, he shook his garments and said to them, your blood be upon your heads, I'm clean from now on I will go to the Gentiles. And he departed from there and entered the house of a certain man named Justice, one who worshipped God, whose house was next door to the synagogue. The Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his household and many of the Corinthians, hearing believed and were baptized. Now the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision, do not be afraid, but speak and do not keep silent for I am with you and no one will attack you to hurt you for I have many people in the city. And he continued there a year and six months teaching the word of God among them. When Galio was procounsel of Achia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him to the judgment seat saying this fellow pursuits meant to worship God contrary to the law. And when Paul was about to open his mouth, Galio said to the Jews, if it were a matter of wrongdoing or wicked crimes, oh Jews, there would be a reason why I should bear with you. But if it is a question of words and names and your own law, look to it yourself, for I do not want to be a judge of such matters. And he drove them from the judgment seat. Then all the Greeks took Sassanus, the ruler of the synagogue and beat him before the judgment seat. But Galio took no notice of these things. Thank you. Okay, so we see here when Paul arrives at at Corinth, he first meets Aquila and Priscilla and they connect not only because they are Jews, they're from a Jewish background, but also because they have this common trade of tent making. So that is working with leather. So here he chooses to get engaged with tent making, and he's doing this work in Corinth. So it is quite a strategic thing that he's doing because Corinth is at the port. And there's a lot of merchants coming in and going out from the port. There's a lot of basically a lot of trading that happens from Corinth. So there are people coming in from all over other parts of Asia coming in, bringing their goods, taking goods from Corinth, taking it to other places because it is a port city. So to be right at the marketplace means he's able to reach people from lots of different other places who are coming in and going out. And he is with the local like with the local people as well, because that's the marketplace, he's with the common people. But at the same time, he is also going to the synagogue. So he's also trying to reach the Jews of that time. So in each place, he was going to very strategic places, right in the previous place in Athens, he went to the thinkers, he went to the leaders in the Areopagus. And now here, he goes to the, and the Areopagus kind of opened up for him because he went to the marketplace. So being strategic in that reaching people where they are and knowing where are the right openings to be able to go and share, like in Athens, in the marketplace is where religious discussions were happening. So he could go there and he could talk about his faith. But here, he goes to the synagogues, he goes to the marketplace where he can meet with people and share in that context as well. Now again in Corinth, it was that Greek culture where philosophy is really like something that they pursue, like they pursue wisdom and all of that. So when he's reaching out to the people in the marketplace, he's actually going against that because the people in the marketplace were considered as the commoners, the people of lower standard. Okay. And the people who were engaging in philosophy were the more elite in that culture. So here he's chosen to go to these people with the gospel. And we see in the letter to the Corinthians how that plays out this distinction between those who are elite and those who are common and that wisdom of Apollo versus Paul, all of those things. So here he goes to them, he goes to the marketplace and he's working there and he's also sharing in the synagogues and as usual, there are some of the Jews who are not happy about what he's doing. And so they start to oppose him. At the same time, if you remember, Silas and Timothy remained in Macedonia, right? So Paul had the vision to go to Macedonia. They went there. They went to Philippi. We talked about that earlier. So if we go back to the map, they were in Throis here in Asia, right? And from there, Paul has a vision of someone calling him to Macedonia. And so they go into Neopolis, they go into Philippi and they're in this area, Apollonia and all of that. And then because of persecution, Paul leaves Philippi, but Silas and Timothy stayed there and they continue the work that was going on. So now here Silas and Timothy come from Macedonia and join Paul in Corinth again. And once they come, Paul is able to more focus on his preaching and reaching out to the Jews. And again, we see here that because they reject the Gospel, he then goes to the Gentiles. And there is a really good response in Corinth from a variety of people. So we have a few people named here. In verse seven, there's Titius Justus, who was a Gentile. Then we have the synagogue leader, Crispus in verse eight. We have in verse 17, Sostanus, who was also a synagogue leader. Later on in Romans 16, Erastus is named Romans 16, one that other area, which is near Corinth, Phoebe is mentioned. So again, on the map, if you see Corinth and Sanctria is right next to it. So while Paul was at Corinth, he was also, I think, reaching out to places around there. So we see in Romans 16, one where Phoebe is mentioned as someone from the church in Sanctria. So there are other churches and local congregations being established while he's at Corinth itself. So Paul spends a total of 18 months in Corinth when he's encouraged by God. So he has this vision where God continues to preach. I'm protecting you because there are people here who will respond to the Gospel. So based on this vision, he continues to do his work in Corinth and he spends 18 months there preaching and teaching and establishing the church. Let's go on from there. Verses 18 to 28, in the same Acts 17. Acts 18 was 18. So Paul still remained a good wife, reminded a good wife. Then he took leave of the brethren and sailed for Syria and Priscilla and Aquila were with him. He had his haircut of at Sanctria for he had taken off and he came to Ephesus and left them there. But he himself entered the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews. When they asked him to stay a longer time with him, he did not consent but took leave from them saying, I must by all means keep this coming feast in Jerusalem, but I will return again to you, God's God willing. And he sailed from Ephesus and when he had landed at Caesarea and gone up and greeted the church, he went down to Antioch. Okay, so now maybe we'll stop there. So this is where his second missionary journey ends. Okay, so we see that he's gone back all the way to Antioch, his home church. So what all happens? He is in Corinth. He leaves Corinth with Priscilla and Aquila. They go to Sanctria. He shaves his head because of some bow he's made, goes to Ephesus, just meets with the people there briefly. And then his goal is to go back to Jerusalem for the feast. So he doesn't stay in Ephesus, although they're they're asking him to stay. He goes to Jerusalem, meets the church there and then returns back to Antioch from there. So all in all, this this period of time is about three years that he spends in the second missionary journey. And it's longer than the previous, the previous journey. So there he traveled about 1900, 1900 miles. And he travels about 2500. So he's extended his reach through the second missionary journey and he's gone to more places than he did in the first time around. Okay, so maybe we can read that last part of that same chapter, 24 to 28. Now as Tenju named Apollos born at Alexandria, an eloquent man and mighty in the scriptures came to Ephesus. This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord and being free, coven in spirit. He spoke and taught, he spoke and taught accurately the things of the Lord. Though he knew only the baptism of John, so he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Aquila and Priscilla heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately. And when he decided to cross to Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him. And when he arrived, he greatly helped those who had believed through grace, for he vigorously refuted the Jews publicly, showing from the scriptures that Jesus is a Christ. Thank you. So while Paul is now in Antioch, he's left Ephesus, right? He leaves Ephesus and he goes to Jerusalem and then to Antioch. Priscilla and Aquila stay in Ephesus and while they are there, Apollos comes there and they meet him. They see that he is a great preacher, but his knowledge of Jesus and salvation through Jesus is not complete. So they teach him and then they send him to Corinth and he goes to Corinth and encourages the church there. So while Paul is in Antioch, we also have an account of Peter going to Antioch and we'll go to that passage in Galatians, but just some highlights from this second missionary journey. So Paul goes to very key cities during the second missionary journey, right? What were some of the key cities he went to in the second missionary journey? Yeah, yeah, Corinth, Athens, yeah. And Philippi, right? In Macedonia. Okay, so some very key big cities where he could reach a lot of people from that region and from other regions as well. Then he also, these were like cities that were influencing other parts of that, of the region they were in, right? So there was trade happening there, there was learning, there were people who were like considered as the wise people of that time, the learned intellectuals of that time. So he was going and influencing all of those people. But wherever he was going, he was taking the gospel, the pure gospel, right? That foolish gospel, the gospel that was considered foolish by the people, he preached the cross of Christ, he didn't change his preaching, he didn't change the message that he was preaching, but he did it also in the power of the Holy Spirit. So accompanying whatever he was doing were miracles and signs and wonders that while he was preaching. And he took time to understand the cultures, he took time to understand what was happening in that place and preaching the gospel to them in a way that they would understand. But he also took the pure gospel in the power of the Holy Spirit. Those things didn't change no matter where he was. Okay, and you can see throughout a dependence on the Holy Spirit, like listening to the leading of the Holy Spirit at every point, right? Whether he stays in a place, whether he doesn't go to a place, whether he moves to a new place, all of those things were Spirit led. And so he is able to see also the Holy Spirit then accomplishing the work that God wanted to do through him. Yeah, so while he is back in Antioch, we have an account of Peter going there. We'll just read from Galatians 2, 11 to 20. Now when Peter had gone to Antioch, I would stood him to his face because he was to be blamed. But before certain men came from James, he would eat with the Gentiles. But when they came, he with the Jew and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision. And the rest of the Jews also played a hypocrite with him so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy. But when I saw that they were not straightforward about the truth of the Gospel, I said to Peter before them all, if you, being a Jew, live in the manner of Gentiles and not as the Jews, why do you compel Gentiles to live as Jews? We who are Jews by nature and not sinners of the Gentiles, knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, even when we have believed in Christ Jesus that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law. But by the works of the law, no flesh shall be justified. But if while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners. Is Christ there for our minister of sin? Certainly not. For if I build again those things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. For I threw the law, died to the law that I might live to God. I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me and a life which I now live in the flesh. I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me. Thank you. So this happens when Paul is in between the second missionary journey and the third missionary journey. So he's back in Antioch and Peter goes there. Now Peter is actually a senior apostle technically to Paul, but Paul isn't afraid to correct Peter when he's seeing him do something wrong. So being able to correct fellow leaders in the church to call them back to the truth no matter even if they are senior to you. So that's something that Paul is not afraid to do because what Peter did was affecting other people. It was not just that Peter was doing wrong, but seeing Peter other leaders and other people were also then following him. So that's just such an important thing to have the courage to correct someone like that and to call them out on what they're doing as wrong. So we see Paul doing that and then obviously his respect for Peter all of that doesn't change, but he is true to whatever God has said like through Christ is how we are saved and so we will not continue to follow the law. We will walk as followers of Christ and depend on Christ for salvation. So from there we go into Paul's third missionary journey which starts from Acts 1823 onwards. Now in his third missionary journey Paul doesn't go into any new places. The first and second missionary journey he's gone to new places, established new churches, but this third missionary journey he's just going to the churches that are already established and strengthening the work, strengthening the leaders, all of those things through this time. This is also a longer journey mostly because he spends a long time in Ephesus. Okay, so the journey lasts four years, but out of those four years three years he spends in Ephesus and the length of the journey the miles traveled is the same as the second missionary journey. So he does about 2,500 miles of travel. So we'll see here what are all the places that he goes to. So first he goes to Galatia and Frigia. I should probably change the map that we are looking at. Okay, so we see here again that Paul starts from Antioch and he goes to these regions of Galatia here and Frigia here. That's where he starts and then from there he goes on to Antioch of Pisidia and he goes to strengthen the churches that were in those regions in Derby, in Lystra, in Iconium and in Antioch. This was his third visit to all of these places. Now even though there were other cities in that region, in that time he doesn't choose to stop and preach there. So there was Colossae, Laodicea, there's Hieropolis. All of them were right in that region, but he chooses not to stop in any of those places. If we read in Colossians 2-1 somebody can just read that for us. I want you to know how great a struggle I have for you and for those at Laodicea and for all who have not seen me face to face. Yes, so he's saying here that he's never met the people in the church in Laodicea because he chose not to go there with the gospel. So even here being like there was opportunity he was in the area, he could go to these places. But knowing like okay this is the goal for this journey, we are going to go to all the places where the church is already established. We're going to go there and strengthen the work that has already been done. Not being distracted by whether places around here we can go with the gospel to these places. Knowing the goal, knowing the purpose, knowing what needs to be done at that time. He's already gone to new places. He's already done that work and the time now is to strengthen the work that was already done. Then from there he goes on to Ephesus and this is where he spends three out of four years of that missionary journey he spends in Ephesus. Here he'll spend time with the church talking and like raising up leaders and also talking to new people about the gospel. And from there word spreads across Asia. So there are other places that are affected in Asia through the preaching that happens there. So let's look at verses eight onwards from Acts 18 and we'll read from verses eight to verse 22. Acts 18, 8 to 22. Then Christmas the ruler of the synagogue believed on the Lord. 18, right? 18, oh sorry 19, you're right. 19 verse 8. So now we are 19 verse 8 onwards. Okay, Acts chapter 19, 8 to 22. And he went into the synagogue and spoke broadly for three months, reasoning and persuading concerning the things of the kingdom of God. But when somewhere hardened and did not believe but spoke evil of the way before the multitude he departed from them and withdrew the disciples reasoning daily in the school of the tyrinos. And this continued for two years so that all who dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus both Jews and Greeks. Now God worked unusual miracles by the hand of Paul so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were brought from his body to the sick and the disease left them and the evil spirit went out of them. Then some of the Jewish, verse 13. Then some of the itinerant Jewish exorcists took it upon themselves to call the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirit saying, we exercise you by the by the Jesus from whom Paul preaches. Also there were seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest who did so. And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know and Paul I know but who are you? Did the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them power overpowered them and prevailed against them so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. This became known both to all Jews and Greeks dwelling in Ephesus and fear fell on them all. And the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified and many who had believed came confessing and telling their deeds. Also many of those who had practiced magic brought their books together and burned them in a sile fall and they counted up the value of them and it totaled 50,000 pieces of silver. So the word of the Lord grew mightily and prevailed. Thank you. Okay, we'll continue from that later. So Paul goes to Ephesus. Now when Paul goes to Ephesus, Apollos is in Corinth. So Apollos had gone from Ephesus to Corinth and then Paul comes to Ephesus. We read earlier that when he comes he meets the people whom Apollos had preached to and they had not received the Holy Spirit. This is in Acts 19.6 where he places his hand on them and the Holy Spirit comes on them and they start to speak in tongues and prophesy and there's about 12 people at the start of his work there. Okay, so from there he then goes into the synagogues and begins to preach. So there are some really powerful things that I mentioned here in terms of signs, miracles, all of those things that are happening. So God was doing unusual miracles through Paul and not at a time, not in his, like all of these things are not mentioned in the first and second time around, right, in those first and second missionary journeys. This is his third missionary journey and we're seeing that signs and miracles were continuing. They were not just continuing, they were getting even greater. It's just something for us to hold on to that. It shouldn't be that these things are dying out slowly, like these miracles last for some time and slowly dies out, but that we should be increasing in our practice and in our expectation of what God is going to do through the ministries, even through the revivals that are happening, that God will only increase the work that is being done. So he leaves here and then, I mean, we're seeing all of these miracles and then we see this story of the person who is demon possessed and through that there's actually a powerful work that God does of breaking some of the sorcery and the witchcraft that is happening in that time, right, because of that one, the seven sons of Skiwa who are people who practice that when they see that Jesus is greater than the work that they are doing, they begin to be afraid and they come and confess, right, what they're practicing and they give all of that up. So all of these things are just like powerful ways in which God is moving, breaking the work of the enemy in that place, breaking some strongholds that are there, breaking demonic powers that are at work there to bring people into the kingdom of God. So earlier we see when he's preaching again, there is some opposition to the work and then he continues to preach so verse nine, he continues to preach in the lecture hall of Tyranus. So that was sort of like either Tyranus was a philosopher and he was preaching in this hall and so Paul was also using that hall or it was a hall that was rented out by Tyranus and Paul was using it to preach one of those two things. So for two years he continues to preach in this place and from that place the rest of Asia is being affected. So it's not just that he's preaching in Ephesus but Jews and Greeks from the surrounding area hearing the word of God through this preaching and he's able to impact other regions from Ephesus. This location where missionary journey begins like there is a star for Antioch and there is one more Antioch in between also. Yeah so the Antioch in Syria is where Paul was from so that's his considered there. Oh there is two. There are two Antiochs yeah so yeah so there are two different regions altogether right so there's one in Syria and there's one in Syria. So the Antioch in Syria is where Paul always returned after every missionary journey goes back to Antioch in Syria. That's yeah yeah yeah that's where Barnabas and Paul first start their work so in Syria and it's considered Paul's home church which is why he keeps going back there and spending a few years in between each missionary journey. So this Antioch in Pisidia I'm not sure if there are any I'm sure there are some stories we covered but I can't remember any of them now but yeah so that is just in that region in Asia that he is traveling through. Okay so yeah so we see that all of these sorcerers they come back they give up the work that they are doing because they are filled with fear when they see what happens to the sons of Skiwa. Then we go to the end versus 21 to 22 of Acts 19 if someone can just read that. When these things were accomplished Paul purposed in the spirit when he had passed through Macedonia and Akia to go to Jerusalem saying after I have been there I must also see Rome. So he sent into Macedonia two of those who ministered to him Timothy and Arastus but he himself stayed in Asia for a time. Okay so he continues the work in Asia so he's already planning ahead. He had a plan to go to Rome from that time but he knows that the work in Macedonia the work in Akia has to also be strengthened and so he sends others there because he feels that he needs to stay in Ephesus continuing what is happening. He's able to see that God is working there and so he recognizes that he needs to stay there to be part of what God is doing but also recognizing the need in Macedonia and Akia. He sends Timothy and Arastus to Macedonia to meet the churches there. So he's able to do that because he has raised other leaders. He's raised Timothy he's raised Arastus as people who can do the work that he was doing. If he had not raised those leaders then he would be trying to go and go to these places go continue this work also go to Rome also go to Jerusalem which would be impossible for him to do like within the short time that he has. So because he had leaders that he had taken with him who were also familiar with the churches who were also able to do the work that he was doing he's able to hand off some of that work to them. So he stopped there and continue from there tomorrow. Thank you all. Thank you to all of you joined online.
