 Greetings and welcome to each one of you to Spring 2022, wishing all a blessed, successful and a more glorious 2022. Trust that you all had a blessed time with your family, friends this season and your back with refreshed and renewed strength. So this year the word of the Lord for a church is to go take a mountain, conquer your giants, occupy your inheritance from the book of Joshua chapter 14 verse 6 to 15. So as we claim this promise we also speak and release this over each of you as we journey together. Let me share today's plan. Today we'll have a time of faculty sharing about the teaching subjects and then we'll have a word from a senior pastor followed with a Q&A session and then we'll take a 10 minutes break then we'll come back. Come back for a time of praise and worship led by Pastor Jakes, Pastor Jay Kumar Izaya and prayer led by Pastor Nancy Ramya and Pastor Selena McVaner. So before we could begin can we start with a word of prayer please. Father we come to you in Jesus name. We thank you for this new season, new year, new semester. We surrender each one of us in your hands Lord. Father as we surrender ourselves Lord we pray that that you will move, you will lead and you will guide us in this new season of Father. Lord we pray that if there's anything that does not belong to you and your plan, your purpose, we pray that you will approve it out of us and you will change the things that needs to be changed. You will transform the things that needs to be transformed and you will put your finger on which the things that needs to be addressed. Lord we thank you that you are taking each one of us from glory to glory, strength to strength this year. Lord as we set aside ourselves, Lord we speak and release your greater wisdom, knowledge, understanding over each and every student Lord. As the desire of Father, Lord we pray that you will reveal a deeper revelation from the word and by your spirit of Father. Lord as we seek more of you and desire more of you, I pray that you will reveal yourself by the greater manifestation power of your Holy Spirit in us so Father. Lord we pray that your hand of protection will be over each and every student this semester Lord. This year of Father that no sickness, disease, no plague can come near the dwelling place.

Thank you Lord. Thank you Father. Lord as we surrender ourselves we thank you for you have poured us with your grace and mercy which flows exceedingly abundantly over each one of us of Father. Thank you Lord. Thank you Father. Lord as we seek you Father. As we seek you Lord and at this time aside we pray that you will equip each one of us to be rooted and grounded in your word of Father. Thank you Lord. In Jesus name we pray. Amen. Amen. Over to our faculty to introduce yourself and please share the subject that you're teaching. Thank you. Hi everyone. I think I go first. Good to see you all. Welcome back. My name is Roshan. I live in Bangalore. I lived in Bangalore all my life and I have a wife and a three-year-old. Mano is my wife's name and Ethan is my son's name. Good to see you all. I'll be teaching ministering divine healing for the first years and youth ministry for final years. I see you guys are all. Thank you Diana. Thank you. Thank you Pastor Roshan. Yes. Oh right. I sorry. I forgot to mention. I also serve as associate worship pastor and the youth pastor at ABCA. Thank you. Yes. Thank you Roshan. Yeah. My name is Jaikmar. Jaikmar is there and I serve as the associate pastor for one of the one of our Bangalore locations and also as the worship pastor overseeing the worship ministry here at ABC Bangalore. There are subjects that I'm handling this year. I mean this semester for the first year students. It's financial stewardship. Very interesting topic about money and what should the believer's perspective be about money. So I'm sure you'll enjoy this. It can be quite transformative as well. You know our perspective towards money and how God sees money and so on. So we look at that for the second year students. We look at Christian leadership. The whole aspect of leadership. The way the world defines leadership and the way the Lord Jesus defined leadership and what does the Bible talk about leadership. So that's a very practical cause as well. So that's for the second year students. For the third year students we're going to look at the episodes, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians and Thessalonians. So we're going to be looking at this. It's going to be a chapter by chapter verse by verse study just like how we did first and second quarantine. So that's going to be interesting quite revelatory and also we will do another subject called discipleship and small groups ministry. What does it mean to follow the Lord Jesus? How do I do it in community and in small groups and how can you know raising up leaders and so on. So that's also a very practical course. Then what we have is what is called the independent research paper. So it gives an opportunity for the final year students, final semester students to research a topic. It could be something you know doctrine and it could be an issue social issue, a political issue, but something that is you know the biblical perspective of it and also to present a paper on it. So we're going to be and it's going to be facilitating that this helps stimulate discussions and explore what kind of topics we can look at and so on. So yeah, so that is what we're going to do. Yeah, I'm married. My wife's name is Arthi and I have a daughter who's in college, she's being a second year college. Thank you, God bless. Thank you Pastor Jakes. Hi, welcome back everyone.

We will also be looking at the work of Jesus Christ basically the work on the cross that he has finished for us. So two theological subjects but it's going to be very interesting and will give you a deeper insight and I'm sure you'll at the end of it stand in awe and amazement at the person and the work of Jesus Christ and fall in love with our Savior and our Lord Jesus Christ in a more deeper and more you know intimate way. For the final years I'll be teaching you all Paul's letter to Timothy, Titus and Philemon and so these are going to be very interesting episodes about the first and second Timothy and Titus and a personal letter to Philemon basically the episodes that Paul writes to first and second Timothy and Titus is you know will help some of you pastors and those of you who are involved in church ministry you know how to address various situations that you face and give you more guidance and insights into church management, church administration and leadership and also I'll be teaching a subject that is very close to my heart children's ministry you know just get each of you involved in what children's ministry is all about give you deeper insights into and the basics foundations about children's ministry so that you know some of you would hear God's call it's my prayer that you'll hear God's call you know and sense God's call to go into children's ministry and impact children for God's kingdom so these are the subjects I've been teaching thank you very much and looking forward to seeing each of you in class.

that for the second years we will I'll be taking the subject on the prophetic and the apostolic ministries so again you know we will we will have a good biblical foundation of what these ministries mean but more importantly learn how to flow and release the prophetic and apostolic from through our lives and for the third years again interesting we have five books that you know I'll I'll be taking us through worst by worst study of the book of Hebrews where we learn about the Lord Jesus as being the the superior one the great high priest the sacrifice and basically Hebrews encourages us to fix our eyes on the Lord Jesus so the book of Hebrews then James who gives us many practical instructions for life to live the life of a believer like a believer now first and second Peter where we are encouraged to endure under suffering to live an honorable life and you know of course Peter as well as Jude Jude is the other book that we will be going through where there is a warning against heresy false teaching and things like that so yeah really excited looking forward to everything that God is going to do in us and through us so thank you and really you know excited about the semester thank you everyone thank you pastor Diana thank you thank you pastor Nancy thank you and we also have Mrs. Jean George due to some circumstances she's not able to be here but then she would be teaching on the Hino wholeness which is one of the important subject and yeah the semester I would be teaching on the New Testament survey this course is designed to give us an you know an overview of all the 27 books from the New Testament with a brief introduction about the author the date of writing the book the purpose of writing and the book's theme and the key verses and overall understanding of each and every book we would be studying the outline the view of Christ in each book and yes this study will help us also understand about the covenant of grace and the life and the ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ so yes I'm excited to study and journey along with you all together and yes let's depend on the spirit of the Lord to lead us and give us the revelation of each and every book and make it part of us as well as we carry as we set ourselves to serve and be equipped in this word yes I'm married and married to Paul Emmanuel we are blessed with two sons and we both serve as pastors at Mangalore all people's church and I also have taken up on administration responsibility at bible college uh yes so with this we will hand over to our senior pastor pastor Ashish yes pastor hey uh good morning everyone uh welcome back and uh happy new year thanks Diana thanks to all the pastors the faculty appreciate what each one of you are doing and great to have uh good to be back in another semester to spend time uh and journey together very quickly what I will be teaching this semester first years we will be doing a course together on interpreting scripture uh so we just we will basically talk about you know the importance of the word of God and also how do we interpret or correctly understand scripture so that we can apply it correctly in our lives and also in our preaching and teaching make sure that we communicate the word of God correctly so that's an important course we'll be doing together for the first years second years we are doing two new courses these courses are being done for the very first time one is a course on holiness now you know the reason we introduced this course was actually it this whole thing was sparked I think it was last year or year before I forget I was in a leaders conference and it was just leaders and then you know in the conference one of the leaders spoke out and he asked a very basic question how do I overcome temptation and then uh you know that's when it struck me that you know uh that even leaders Christian leaders who have been in ministry who are leading churches and ministries uh sometimes struggle with this whole area of holiness and living holy and understanding having a revelation of God who is holy and letting his holiness become part of our lives and so that's when I felt that you know we need to teach our students as well because many of them are preparing for ministry and so we introduced this course it's the first time we're going to be teaching this course on holiness we talk about the holiness of God so that we get a revelation of God's holiness and from there we talk about how that translates into us living holy lives uh the second course which is a new course the semester is developing the human spirit we'll talk about basically you know to help us understand the human spirit the faculty the faculties of the human spirit the functions of the human spirit and how we can develop the human spirit you know just as we develop our mind or our body we must learn to develop our spirit because really God is spirit and when we engage with God you know it's in the realm of the spirit and he works through our spirit out so we felt it's important especially for those of us who are preparing for ministry to understand this area and you know and learn how to do that another course with the second years is the end times our eschatology so we'll be talking about you know biblical Bible prophecy on the end times getting an overview of the events the timeline the prophecies and the sequence of events and so on so that's going to be an interesting study with the third years i will be doing one is a book study of a revelation and daniel so we will actually go through daniel first and then into the book of revelation it'll be a verse by verse study of these two books primarily the the prophecies in this in these books on the end times so we'll be doing that and another course we'll be doing is media and technology ministry so here of course the the idea is to just expose all of ourselves to you know how media and technology can be used in ministry it's it's not going to be a very technical course but it's going to give us an overview of various aspects of the tools that are used in media and the tools that are used in technology for the purpose of ministry just to open our minds there so that you know we can start using make use of these things yeah so those would be the courses we're doing with the various years and so like all of us i'm excited to spend time with you in teaching and learning growing together all right i don't have any big message but today but just to say welcome all of you and we are grateful for the opportunity to be able to spend this time with you over the next four months till April and spend time in the word of God spend time praying and growing together and our hearts desire really to serve you to be able to share with you whatever we have learned and we are continuing to learn it's not that we know everything but we are continuing to grow we continue to learn and we just want to pass on to you things that we know at this point so that in your lives in your areas of ministry each one of us can be fruitful for the kingdom of God and so that's our desire just to help all of us be very fruitful for the kingdom of God right thanks once again back to Diana too thank you pastor thank you so much and yes so now it's a Q&A session so if you'll have any questions clarifications please feel free to ask

send it across to you thank you okay any questions there are a few questions questions with regards to the assessment with regards to your assessments well the assessment due dates are set by the respective faculty in the final semester I mean last year last year in the fall semester we request all the students to please submit your assignments before the due date on or before the due date as all the given assessments are very important and it is an add-on to your total final score so we request all the students to submit your assignments on time and if in case we miss to submit the assignment then we may have to repeat the course in the next semester when it's there so other than that if there's any other questions please go ahead so that we can clarify it there are some questions on the chat starting yes yes are all the subjects compulsory for first year how do I register for the subjects yes Paul if you're doing a certification course like certificate certification course like cth or diploma in theology or bachelor's in theology then you may have to take all the courses in each year but if you're doing individual course individual then you can go ahead and choose the selected course in each year either if you're choosing in first year one course second year and third year you can and you will be certified for that individual course but if you would like to study systematically as you know for one year if you're if you're interested to do a certification theology then you may have to do the complete first and second semester according to the way the course is in aligned so you would like to add so we have we offer three three certificates one is a one-year certificate called cth certificate in theology which is if you complete all the first year courses you will get a certificate in theology that is 16 courses the 16 first year courses then we offer a diploma in theology which is if you complete all the first year courses and all the second year courses that's a total of 32 courses then you get a diploma in theology if you complete all the third year courses as well then you get your bachelor's in theology so that's three years a total of 48 courses right so so what dino was saying is if you want any one of these three degrees a certificate a diploma or a bachelor's then you have to complete all the courses that lead towards that degree so so you know it's good to complete all the first year courses then do all your second year and then do all your third year and then you'll get your bachelor's now if you just want to do you know individual courses you're free to do that as well so it depends on what you're working towards to register for your subjects as dino was saying you can you know paul i think you're doing everything online online in google classrooms so basically you need to get the google class codes and connect to the respective google classrooms and then you submit your assignment just exactly what you did last semester you just continue doing it every semester you know do the first year courses then do the second year and so on so that's how we proceed okay so drop dino an email at admin at apcbabiccollege.org and she'll help you with that samuel's question yes samuel we will be continuing with the regular mentoring our supernatures on thursdays and fridays before the classes dave's question our holiness and developing human spirit dave you you're welcome to take these courses either in the e-learning portal or if you want to you could just connect to the google classes i mean i guess you won't be able to attend them live because you will you will be doing your third year courses so uh dave i think the best option for you is to do these courses on the e-learning portal so you're welcome to do that as well and of course you'll get your certificate immediately in the e-learning portal um because you're in your in your in your you are in your third year so that's fine dana i want to pick up kiran's question thank you pastor uh yeah kiran as pastor said you can do the new courses through the e-learning portal as you would be continuing your third year courses and we also have abraham tethi please do we have any portal that we can log in to see all our results from first year all the uh scores from your first year been updated on your google classroom so when you log into your google classroom you can find your scores individual scores there and just to add um abraham uh you know our it team is setting up a bible college portal uh they are working on it so um yeah ultimately what we will have is a student portal where uh students can come in and see their academic work and uh you know download their certificates all of that so that is happening uh but that's not live yet so we haven't released it out to our students yet but for now what you can do is as dana said you could go into google classroom and look at your scores over there thank you thank you pastor we have a question from charles will the chat section be included in the recording of the classes last semester we missed it in the youtube recordings yes our chat sections will be included in the recording and there's another question from dana like um uh they won't see it in the recording so what we are going to do is just like what we're doing now uh we will read the question and it will answer but you won't be able to see it in the recordings uh so that's a problem the the chat is not recorded in the video uh so what uh all our faculty will be doing is uh as we are responding to questions in the chat we will read out the question just like what dana did and we will respond so it will be audible but you won't see the recording of the chat interaction in the uh in the recordings of the classes sorry to interrupt you thank you thank you pastor yeah so we would be uh reading all the faculty whenever we receive a question we will be reading out the questions loud so that you know we don't miss all the questions we don't get and yeah oh we have another question from beth i'm doing my second year can i do third year course by e-learning simultaneously as next year i have uh not have much time pastor is the answer the answer is you're welcome to do that but uh no problem uh if you you know you can do uh the eight courses online and you can do your third year courses on the e-learning portal it's entirely up to you uh if you have the time to do it go for it and uh so you could actually complete uh you know two semesters and one semester you're free to do that it just you know just need that much time and if you can afford it go for it um can i just ask can i do some of the courses not the whole semester's courses say um half of it simultaneously with the second year so that in the third year i'll continue doing but not as many courses is that possible yes yes you can do it so uh you know if you want to do three courses on on the e-learning you can do it and then next semester you just finish up the rest perfectly fine everything is being tracked in the e-learning portal so we will know you know what you've completed there and what you've completed in google classroom perfect we have another question from brother avadesh regarding the graduation celebration after completing the course yes we have a graduation on may 8th of 2022 at 10 30 a.m service and yes depending on the pandemic situation we would welcome all our students to be part of the graduation service in person or online they will be sending you an invitation email to everyone yeah the next question is from thaisha would like to if there's a portal available for us to all have our courses and grades yes our IT team is working we'll get it across to you soon now is there any arrangements for internship a question from canady is there any arrangements for internship pastor would you like to answer this please um what we can i that's that's a good question uh what we have done in the past is uh students who studied with us i mean you know we didn't have online classes until 2020 yeah so before before 2020 it was all in person so all our students would study with us and so we had students who were serving with us while they were studying they would be serving in our churches and all the ministries you know students would be a part of it so that was actually part of the whole training that was happening before everything went online uh so that was there and then uh a lot of the students would work with us in the ministry here in bangalore so so that was what was happening and it was a good training for many of them and some of them would stay with us and continue working here in bangalore and some of them would go back to their own uh places and start their ministry start churches and things like that so that was what was happening uh but now with this whole online uh you know thing happening uh what we do recommend is that students to try and serve in their own local churches wherever they are so that they can you know gain that practical learning with their own churches where they can uh where they are um whether you know we could try and do something long distance i'm not sure but uh you know when things are conducive definitely our campus will open up and students are welcome to come and study on campus or serve with us here um you know uh that would be when things open up and things are conducive otherwise i think the only thing we can suggest at this time is for students to serve with their local churches and ministries uh try to practice you know the things you're learning over there and then let's see you know uh when things are conducive what arrangements can be made what's your follow-up question charles charles you have raised your hand for would you like to have a follow-up question on internship okay uh let's go on it's not here you can go on to the other one that there should i think maxin shake here i noticed that uh before that there's time okay there's one more question before that okay maxin you can drop an email to edman at abcbabelcollege.org we can get your assignment corrected and send across the marks to you thaisha i'm currently second year when will when will my graduation be so if you would like to graduate with your fourth semester uh yes your graduation will be on may 8th of this year 2022 you can let us know uh through email at admin admin's id like uh if you would like to graduate with your fourth semester that is completing your diploma in theology or if you would like to continue your third year then you are free to do so but you get let us know by dropping an email to edman's email id uh we have a question from isek do you have to display the courses of the classroom like last semester i found all the courses we did for the first year have been archived we'll post all the subjects on the classroom so it can be easy to follow our classwork after you would like to answer this i'm trying to understand the question okay maxin uh i'm not sure why i missed marking your assignment so i apologize for that and i will look into it this was this was actually your first year i mean if it's if it was a bit on time it should have been marked but we will definitely look into it uh isek's question i'm trying to understand that did for the first year have been archived yeah can i can i say it yes go ahead please okay thank you all the welcome all of us um i i don't know whether it was you but i think all the courses the eight courses we did for the fourth semester first year was automatically on the classroom individually so that if you want to go to prison worship in classroom you just click on prison worship then you can see the classwork and so on and so forth so that is what i'm asking but now all these archive are now we finish the fall semester now for the spring semester is it going to be like that because it was easier for us when all the courses we are displayed on classroom yeah so you can't do it yeah you can find individual courses thank you yeah isek so what needs to be done is um so for the spring semester we have eight courses uh you have to do the same thing that you did for fall that means uh you know you would have received the email with the class codes the google classroom class codes for the eight spring semester courses so what you do is just once you have to join the class so you know you log into your um google account go to classroom.google.com on the right side you will see that ad classroom and you click on that and then you enter the class code for these and you do it eight times you join the eight classes so then what happens from then on all these eight classrooms will appear on your home uh classroom homepage so you will see them all just like how it was but you have to join the classrooms okay okay okay pastor thank you very much god bless you you're welcome thank you pastor thank you mr isek and yes we have abhishek kumar ask a question how can i write my first semester exam which i missed at that time yes brother you are uh you're welcome to write it again next fall 2022 uh either through e-learning portal if you're continuing to study online the next semester the third semester you would be in then simultaneously you can you know uh but if you have an extra time you can log into the same courses on e-learning portal and given your exam there i hope that answered your question brother abhishek yeah thank you ma'am thank you thank you thank you okay do we have i'm just checking for the okay we have a question from paul i'm doing certificate course last year i only received codes for only four subjects which i did i'm now hearing from pastor that there were eight courses what happens to me um yes uh pastor you would like to answer yeah um so paul uh sorry that you missed out on the other four so every semester there are eight subjects for each year now what you can do you don't have to worry what you can do so the four subjects that you missed in fall uh you can do it this year in fall that is between august and december uh you can continue on with your second year uh oh sorry if you only want to do a one-year certificate you can repeat you can do those four courses in fall this year either in online or you can do it on the e-learning and as soon as you finish those four you know we can give you your one-year certificate in theology right so i'm sorry that you missed out on those four subjects last fall uh make sure you do all the eight for this semester and then in the coming fall you can finish those four either online or you can do it in the e-learning either way is fine is that okay it's okay it's okay okay thank you okay thank you pastor thank you paul we have a quest and follow up question from charles that um suggesting that if we could receive an internship guide from bible college and after the internship we could submit if you could develop the guide and release it to us and students follow it in the time of internship and submit report for the final graduation or after the graduation just a suggestion um yes pastor you would like to answer this question please um i mean it's a good idea charles thanks for sharing that um but i but here's here's my thoughts on it uh one is and not all students you know enough students around the world not all of them may have the opportunity for an internship right where they are you know some may have you know they're part of a local church and the church may be big enough to accommodate interns whereas some may belong to you know small communities small churches where they may not be able to have some sort of a formal internship and so for us to kind of make this like a requirement to graduate from all students would be difficult because some may have the opportunity some may not have the opportunity and we don't want this to become a criteria for graduation but i appreciate the idea what we are doing right now is leaving it rather informal and and letting students based on the opportunity they have you know wherever they are from to serve in the local churches or with ministries where they can you know serve um some may not have the opportunity and so we cannot compel them and we cannot we don't want to make that a requirement for graduation is that okay charles all right maybe charles yes yes yes responded over the chat it's okay pastor yes respond to thank you charles thank you pastor and we have the next quest in abraham yes we can had the new courses on the google classroom using our google codes that has been sent the next question from kennedy is do you have an option for pursuing a master's degree for those why interested in specialization um yes as of now we have not yet started with our master's degree but in future we are looking out when we start you can join and continue your courses pastor you would like to add on to that uh yeah like dana said we don't have masters degree at the moment uh let's see i mean in the future if we do start we will inform everybody right they can join back after our bth you can join back for our master's courses with us once we start um we've got uh divya raised for a long time divya yes please unmute and ask your question thank you thank you pastor dana uh good to be back uh and a very happy new year to everyone uh my question is regarding um i have actually done the first year uh like the second sem i have done in the beginning and the first sem i did latron so i did two uh the both the semesters uh the opposite way so now um so should i should i be waiting for the second semesters i mean second year's first semester till the fall or is there an option for me where i can do the first sem courses of the second year that's my one question uh the second is uh for my first year uh actually the even as maxon brother maxon was saying for me also the cross covenants and the blood that has not been marked uh but i have turned in turned in at the right time so um so is that is there any way that it can be done and also should i be waiting for the certificate of the first year yeah these are my questions thank you okay i'll respond to that uh so divya you can continue with your second year classes um that is uh so you'll be doing spring semester uh with your second year so you could just continue uh with your second year classes of course you're doing it kind of uh spring first and fall um yeah so you did yeah you did it spring and fall so you can continue like that just that you'll finish in a different sequence but that's okay uh you can continue with your second year courses so the covenants cross and blood uh blood course i need to go back and look at it so that was in the uh fall of 2021 okay i think it was in the i did it in the spring of 2021 it was spring of 2020 okay yeah so let me see now i think they may be archived but we can pull it back and uh mark that whatever's not been marked uh i may have overlooked that so that's my fault i will just go back and check it and you know you will get your obviously when i return it you'll get your grades so we'll take care of that um ccp spring 2021 um yeah so um now if you want your certificate for the first year we can send it to you but if you're planning to continue uh then you know students who are planning to work towards like a two-year degree or a three-year degree um you know uh we don't normally send them the certificate but if you want it you can drop an email to diana and she will send you the cth which is the completion of the first year but if you if you want you know your final degree whether it's your two-year degree or a three-year degree then you can just wait for that uh that's entirely up to you you can let diana know and she can email it to you okay okay pastor thank you so much uh so i was also thinking whether i could do the fall semester courses of second year like if i'm trying to do it in the right order uh so will i be able to do it in the e-learning the fall semester courses yeah so uh next next semester what you can do is uh uh you could so let's say you're doing the right now you will be doing the second year courses spring semester next semester you could do fall courses for second year and you could do the fall courses for the third year so you could do eight courses online and the other age you could do on e-learning if you want to do that so then you know you'll you'll kind of be in sync with the rest of the students if you want to do that that's fine uh so there's no way that i can do the like right now if i'm trying to do the fall semester courses i won't be able to do it right even in e yeah yeah so this semester it's all it'll be all all spring courses spring semester okay okay okay okay pastor thank you so much thank you pastor thank you dupia for clarifying all your doubts and yeah so jeffina so jeffina once you finish oh sorry i'll just answer that yes so once you finish your bachelor's in theology with us you can apply to sabc or you can apply to syax these are two good two institutions in banglore that offer master's level programs sabc or syax and both of them know us as a bible college uh the only thing is when you apply for a master's program at sabc or at syax uh they will ask you to do certain uh additional courses for example uh at abc bible college we don't teach hebrew and we don't teach greek you know so the courses that which traditional seminaries teach uh which we don't teach uh they will uh require you to do those additional type of courses so um you know so when you're when you're going into a master's program there will be some of these filler courses uh that you would uh have to do and then they will let you continue with their regular master's program and so on and usually when you apply they're we you know they have the usual admission process and recommendation letters which we will give you when you apply okay and they they know us so you know we have a good relationship with them thank you pastor thank you jeffina for asking the questions okay um so yes if there's no more questions we can take a quick shot break and be back by 10 5 for a time of worship and then a time of prayer okay thank you so much let's take a 10 minutes break and be back by 10 5 for a time of worship and prayer thank you good bless see you all soon
