Yeah For me for me, I'm just marveled at the sacrifices this revivalist Reformers made No, the desire to Expand and let the gospel be reached to our people the selfless desire most of them Learn about were educated and they should have engaged in other professions equally well But God used them. So the selfless sacrifices they made is the sort of inspiration to me At least people have done it before and I see me that will Copied from their example and try to do whatever is in our humanly possible For the development of the Christian Refit. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you brother Isaac for sharing Your heart with us. Yeah, Jaffina, please go ahead Miss Foster, I would love to say that each and every class was such an inspiration for me It usually stirs up my desire Do more for God when we study about each revivalist It actually gives a desire to see this revival happening Especially when you say that crime rate gets solved Not just the change in one person but a change in a whole community in that whole place It really makes me stand and all look the all these pops are getting close that the whole area changes the whole environment changes because of a Revival and it's not just 10 people. It's it's more like 10,000 people 20,000 in the locks and I wish in my lifetime one day I could at least see this happening and if God knows he can use me to make it so Above all it really inspires me to do more for God Sometimes after the class I used to go back and think what am I really doing? Am I really doing something for God or not and I used to Sit back and start praying and asking God God take me and use me tell me what I should do for you so Above everything I would say it really helps me to focus on God focus on my calling Focus on to do more for God each and every day after the class it really inspires me stirs my heart that I have to do something great for God and Everyone had a different background everyone had a different background everyone had a different calling each revivalist They they moved in a different way and that helped me to know that no matter where I am no matter what I feel sometimes I can use me to and God has a purpose for me to and Yeah, it was really inspiring each and every class was inspiring and it's good to know about everything and Yeah, getting inspired a lot getting inspired to do more for God and That decided it just keeps growing and growing and growing Yeah, that's what I want to Man nice Thank you, Jeffy know for sharing how the Lord is moving in meal that led that Inspiration become a fire that is not quenchable with time Okay, that let allow that fire to burn within you because only when that fire that desire burns I'm sure you will step up like what the Lord wanted each of us to do Let your prayer be like Isaiah asking here.

Liar Anita Georgia Silly Silly how the Lord is working in you through you In the place where you are Naga land Coheema would you like to share with our class? I know I get to see a lot of pictures and the way Lord is using you Among the youth and the students would you like to share in the class? Personally for me like through these Classes like, you know, like all the revival is that paid a heavy price for God and when like as I was pondering You know like I can do much greater than them because the Holy Spirit is in me and that really inspires me You know Linus at all of the challenges and obstacles like, you know The lives of this missionaries the great man woman of God really inspired me to press on love to give up Yeah, that's the team and by a God's grace, you know, like the minister here is going on well You know, we see the lives of young people the team specially impacted and we are just so excited How the Lord is moving through our ministry impacting the lives of the teenagers and the youths So we are so thankful to God and we believe, you know In the coming days also the Lord is going to move my chili and I I believe that You know revival will come, you know in our place also like as We believe that as an APC family here. We're a southern light. So Yeah, that's the teams. Thank you Thank you. Thank you, Zalee for sharing. Yes The ministry path is not easy, but then we can definitely ask God to strengthen each of us so that we don't give up Because the scripture says the God who started He is faithful enough to complete and he is Greater much greater in us and he will strengthen us in every area And he will lead us. So we are not alone In the journey that he is faithful enough to be with us and he's always faithful Yeah Is there anyone would like to share? Yes, Anita, please go ahead Yeah, thank you, ma'am Ma'am personally, it's really helpful for me to uh, know all the revivalist like how their life was How they minister to people when I was listening to when you're sharing ma'am when you're describing their stories to us in a class so I I felt like It's really helpful ma'am. It's like one of two or three classes. I cried also by listening to their stories because Many times I I feel like, you know, uh here in village. We uh, we are ministering to people Not many people here. We I think like, you know, I'm doing so much But when I listen to these people They have done so many things. They have sacrificed so many things For the Lord and they have ministered to ministered in difficult areas So God is just telling me through these people that Don't lose your hope like do uh, whatever I have asked you to do like, uh, Give your best to the Lord like try your best how you can uh, use the God's word and God's word and You know, share these people share the word to all the people around me and One more thing that uh, specifically I would like to mention is uh, we are praying for every Thursday We are praying for car wash like my city here in car wash. Uh, we are specifically praying for revival in car wash and uh, we are praying from past two years and God, uh, I can see that now like God is moving in car wash. Many people are coming to Many people are uh, receiving Christ as their personal savior. Uh, so this is like, uh God is working. So we may feel like, you know, we are praying from past two three years. Uh, nothing is happening We may feel like that, but God is moving. God is working. So it's very important to pray and uh, Uh, and God is working and that's that idea. Thank you Amen Thank you. Thank you. Anita for sharing that. Yes, it is very important Like what Anita said pray and believe We may not see it What we see our understanding is very limited But for sure we need to know that God is in control and God is working. He has his own ways He has his own ways. We cannot limit God to our time to our perspective But then we need to just believe and trust God that he is working Yeah, is there anyone else who would like to add succesy knock and lyndon And john we are discussing on or we are sharing our experience from this class How the lord is ministering to each of us personally So I just wanted to hear from y'all y'all can unmute and share how the lord is uh inspiring you or Working with you individually to be that revivalist to be that person You can step out of your comfort zone and minister or be that witness in the area that you are in You can unmute Yes, please so, uh, every time and we listen to the Great movement just happened In the history it always a reminder that god is still powerful and he can do it even today One of the things which inspires me as we listen to the classes to cultivate the same kind of passion for ourselves and also for the congregation to end the deal for more and to And to ask god for more to listen to him and to ask really for For a fire to be burned as some of us only shed so it You know, it's a matter of our heart and So to cultivate that desire in our heart to share to people to have that desire for more of god more of revival and and especially to have a dream Upon the place where we are ministering to to see in the spiritual eyes like a lot of people coming to know the lord many Nations many religious groups People groups coming to know the lord the love of god to have that vision as a dream in our hearts and to Really look forward and pray and intercede and work towards that Amen. Thank you. Thank you john for sharing that. Yes as john shared It is very important for us to pray intercede and have a dream Our desire for our place To be transformed or for god to minister and yes And he also made a very important point here is our heart attitude should be actually clear They should be a love for people and the place When we have that you see automatically, there will be an earnest prayer raised from our heart And you know, the scripture says every earnest prayer lord hears it and he works Thank you john so much for sharing that very important Anyone else would like to add or how the lord is ministering to you through this class Okay So we will move on to our class today And continue to study on the other leaders. So let me share the presentation Even if I could pick it Okay, today we're going to study on Sadhu Sundar Singh how many of us I've heard about him You can just raise your hand. Okay. That's nice. That's nice That's nice. Okay So Sadhu Sundar Singh a disciple of Christ was born in september 3rd of 1889 He was an indian christian missionary He is believed At he died in the foothills of Imala years in 1929, but none of them have witnessed it. Okay So that's why there is no exact date updated because he just went to Tibet and then They didn't hear after that So they believe that he must have died in that year sometime because of his health issues that he had during his Last days. So let's look into him So Sadhu Sundar Singh was born into a Punjab Sikh family in the village of Rampur near Dora Ludhiana district in Punjab state Uh, which is north indian One of the north indian state So, uh, Sundar Singh's mother took him to sit at the feet of a hindu sadhu as an atheist Uh, sorry not the atheist A hindu sadhu was a holy man. Okay, they believe that he's a holy man and he lived in jungles a miles away While also sending him to even christian high school So they've put him in a christian high school at Ludhiana to learn english So Sundar Singh's mother died when he was 14 years old in a very early age in anger Sundar Singh burned a bible page by page while his friends watched him Sundar Singh was also Taught the Bhagavad Gita at his home Later Sundar felt his religious pursuit and the questioning of christian priest left him without ultimate meaning So what he did so sundar resolved to kill himself By throwing upon a railway track And while he was about to commit Or a commit suicide or kill himself He thought let's give himself a last chance and then he prayed To the one true god if he can save him And when he prayed Or else he would kill himself that night When he decided that he wants to kill himself by you know throwing himself on a railway track. He decided about You know a suicidal plan for himself and he He slept that night that very night in the vision He saw Jesus because he asked if there's a true god Come and show yourself To me you see when there's an earnest prayer made lord answers Though it is not specifically related to Jesus He just called upon the true god and Jesus appeared to him in the vision And later we see um Sundar he goes up to his father Mr. Sher Singh and he tells him that he has accepted Jesus as the lord and savior The minute he shared about his personal faith on Jesus his family rejected him And his brother Rajendra Singh he also attempted to poison Sundar Singh many times Many times they have tried to poison him and kill him and the people in the locality or from their custom They have Thrown snake into his house or into his room where he lived to kill him with the snake bite But he was rescued Supernaturally many times and by the christian Believers who lived there the british christian Believers who lived there who was ministering to him saved him from this mistreatment So on his 16th birthday He was publicly baptized as a christian in the parish in Simla so in uh In the imalayan hotel. So prior to this he was staying at the christian missionary home at Sabato near Shimla serving the leprosy patients there So as he was learning from this uh, uh missionary group through them and he was also Serving along with them So in october 1906 we set out on his journey as a new christian Wearing a saffron turban And saffron robe of a sadhu. So he changed the aesthetic look Of what was uh Devoted or practiced as a spiritual practice in the place where he lived So he adapted that Culture or adapted that attire over him so that He can minister to the people where he lived where people may accept the teaching that he is sharing so Singh started to propagate himself as sadhu and with that change of attire and the dress He could minister to people in the imalayan region where he lived in And he also stated in one of the book He states that i'm not worthy to follow in the steps of my lord He said but like him i want no home no possession like him I belong to the road sharing the suffering of my people Eating with those who will give me shelter and telling all men of the love of god You see he has just literally taken the great commission given by jesus himself So he realized what is important is the love of christ ministering to people in the locality Let not his dress let not his attire let not his food nothing stop him from reaching the people for christ So that made him to change things just like how paul did paul said i ministered to jew as a jew to roman as a roman to greek as a greek But what is important is what you teach and share to people with the christ love within you So after returning to his own village where he was given a Warm welcome sumer Singh traveled northward for his missions of convert i mean transforming the people in panjab And over the other places in kishmi then back through Some of the states like afghanistan and into the brigand infected like northwest frontier of baloo chistan So he was referred formally Sadhu sundar saying was referred as the apostle with the bleeding feet By the christian communities of the north why because he suffered a lot He suffered rest he suffered stoning for his belief experience mystical encounters You know when we read about his Biography and autobiographies about sadhu sundar saying we we read about different persecution that he encountered from people his path was not Not very pleasant, but then nothing stopped him Just like how we read in the book of acts or in the other episodes how paul Did not give up on the lord did not give up on sharing the gospel even though he was Stoned to death, but the next day he got up and moved to a different place to share the word. Why because he felt You know he felt the importance of sharing god's word. He felt nothing should stop god's work You see everyone who carried this passion who carried the fire nothing can quench even the persecution illness The weakness of the body could not stop them from doing what god is called them to do There was a fire. There was a passion that was continuously burning within them So we may have to question from where did the strength come from From where did the strength come from for paul to endure the stoning endure the The shipwreck and other persecution and how we endured to do what he did And here we also see in sadhu sundar's Sings life like he encountered many persecution He was in fact thrown into a dry well And he was there inside the dry well for three days without food and water and he was rescued supernaturally The the article just says that you know, there was a rope that was put inside the well And he came out holding that rope. But when he came out, he didn't see the person who rescued him You know the lord Will be with each of us to strengthen us till we complete the assignment that god has given us remember friends Every call as a purpose Every call that each of us have as a purpose When we are in that journey to fulfill that purpose god is with us strengthening us To fulfill that purpose. We are not alone in this journey That's when even paul could say it, you know in the letter to tummati the last letter he says that I have fought a good fight That means he got the sense that he has completed his purpose. He has completed his journey His journey So each of us when we have this call and a purpose each of us also have a sense within us Hey, there's a call. There's a purpose that I need to start Just like how we have the sense of call and a purpose within us to start the same way When we are in the journey, we will have the sense that god is with us and not to give up That fire that passion will not be quenched will just burn Every weakness will not put a full stop to our ministry, but then it will only strengthen us to push us further The lord is not only in the journey, but he will also be at the completion When our purpose is fulfilled, he will also give us the sense that your work is completed He will also tap your back and give you a word that Good and faithful servant You will have that sense of completion and here you will just be ready Like how moses was ready as our paul was ready as our peter was ready. You will also be ready to meet the lord with him Because you know, you're sensing the lord does not do anything to us as a surprise to the children who are walking in relationship with god We will have the sense So we see that Sunder Singh began in his ministry journey He began a christian ministry in the anglican church at Lahore He also joined he was part of this anglican ministry. He joined their bible school and he studied there While he was part of this bible school, the missionaries there, the british missionaries were there They asked him to change the attire that he was wearing But the year he shed, not my attire should stop you from teaching me or ministering to me Because this is how the lord has called me to minister to my region of peeping But then the leaders there in the anglican church could not understand and could not comprehend With the passion and zeal that he was working, but then they eventually Not very pleasant in allowing him to study further for which Sada Sundar Singh had to quit his bible study and move on the mission work He said the lord will minister to me and carry the ministry that he has started in me And with that we see that in In during his 20s Sada Sundar took the gospel and he went abroad. He started ministering to people across the place And when he ministered, he saw Lord Holy Spirit backing him up with signs, wonders and miracles He was a very humble Sada. This what people described about him despite the struggle He didn't give up on sharing the gospel. He was a very humble man Approachable He had the sense of love of God within him That he could minister to everyone. He lived a very ordinary life He gave up on everything. He didn't have anything called possession for himself He he had he had a great impact with the people who accepted the gospel People said that, you know, he not only looked like Jesus, but he Talks like Jesus see this is What the people are giving a feedback about Sada Sundar Singh imagine What Paul said in the in his epistles Imitate me as I imitate Christ So what happened? What made a positive Paul to say that? Imitate me as I imitate Christ A greater love a man who loved Jesus more than himself A man who loved Jesus more than himself. He was ready to do anything for him And we see it in his teaching and his action Though he was stoned in one place next day morning We see that he got up and moved to a different place Derby. That's what the scripture says He did great things for Christ and this is what Jesus also promised You shall do greater things than what I did in my ministry because Lord himself is with us And the same way we see Sada Sundar Singh with great love great passion He ministered to Jesus he ministered to people about Jesus and people witnessed that You know people saw Jesus and then he looked like Jesus Just imagine how much he would have loved and Dedicated himself to Jesus that this man became like Jesus now. Tell me who on earth have During his time have seen Jesus real Have they heard Jesus? No, everything that we have in the media in the paper everywhere is everyone You know ministering like how Jesus would have a different man's perspective But here the sins the spirit of the Lord when we minister the spirit of the Lord who's present there I've made them to realize this is how Jesus looks. This is how Jesus talks The love of Christ and them has transformed him This is what we We study in the gospels like Who we are in Christ is who we really are we become Christ when we have Christ in us So this is how Sada Sundar ministered to people and You know, he was called across Asia. He started traveling He started ministering to people in different places and during his last journey. He also moved to Tibet He his heart was for the people in Tibet because he wanted to reach the people who were unreached He wanted to minister to people who have never heard about Jesus So he started to visit Tibet on many occasions and taught them about the gospel taught them about the love of Christ and Yeah, um, and then even in his last journey, uh, they say that even though he was very weak physically Many of his people or his friends advised him to stay back In the last days like around 1929 they asked him to stay back and write some books and spend time there But then his heart his desire was not in resting. He said, um, you know, just like the other ministry leaders He also said that I have eternity to rest but let me go to reach out for Christ So even though for last two years he is set out and written a few books But after that he moved out to Tibet To share the gospel with the people there And that was the last time that people his friends and witnessed him sing But once he went to Tibet, they never heard anything about him So in the early 1940s bishop, augustin peter another converted missionary from south india saw thought for sing Brother Rajendra Singh And he ministered to him and he led them to christian faith And baptized him in Punjab and rajendra sing is referred as you know, he's been After sadhu singer his brother took over the ministry and it said that you know He ministered to many other people in Punjab the ministry continued and in his ministry The spirit of the lord also empowered him and they saw many signs and miracles happened there And also we hear about his family that his father was also Accepted christ eventually during his ministry time for which his father also helps him with saying Financially to travel to different places and continue the ministry that god had called him and there are few books that Sadhu Singh has written I would recommend you all to please read some of the books that he has written saying that at the master's feet With and without christ the real life the real Reality and religion the search after reality Meditations on various aspects of the spiritual life. And yes, there are other books also he has written And let me go back to the slide if I have anything. Yeah, there's some of the codes that it's there Sadhu Sunder Singh says that it is easy to die for christ It is hard to live for him Dying takes only an hour or two But to live for christ means to die daily Isn't it? There's another quote should I worship him from fear of hell May I be cast into it or should I serve him from desire of gaining heaven? May he keep me out But should I worship him from love alone? He reveals himself to me that may whole heart May be filled with his love and presence So Sadhu Sunder Singh ministered to people with more of love in christ So this is some of the timeline about his journey. I've listed here Okay, yeah, we can go through it sometime And with that we will quickly move on to Jim Elliot Just give me a minute. Let me go back. Yes. This is Jim Elliot with his five friends Roger Yoderian Pete Fleming Nate saint Ed Maculay, so in jan 1956 these five Missionaries died in an attempt to share the gospel with the Vadoni tribe in Ecuador So now 50 years later They sacrificed as a result in Reconciliation and transformation in the tribe So this story has inspired thousand to serve christ. So with that They will move on but before that I would like to share the five missionary leaders wife and their families here the families here their wife and their children This is how they left when they died Yeah, it's not been a easy journey for them So on jan 2nd 1956 was the day, uh, you know the 29 year old Jim Elliot had waited for most of his life to He prayed for a revival. He prayed how he can go and minister to this tribe which was unreached in this place So he jumped out of bed. He was very excited. He dressed quickly and he went took a short flight over this thick Ecuador jungle almost three years of jungle ministry and many hours of planning and praying Jim Came up with a plan that he along with his four friends would get to this camp territory Which is very dangerous because they were uncivilized indian tribes who were living there and they were known as a cruise And uh, they were also now known as uh, vadoni So a cruise had killed all the outsiders ever whoever tried to enter into the area So they were very dangerous and Jim Elliot and other missionary for friends were Aware of how these people the nature of these people were so they Wanted to go and minister to these people to share Jesus because they didn't wanted them to die without knowing Jesus So this is a different kind of call that each of us could have You know, we see some of the people going into the mountains like Sadhu Sundar Singh to share Jesus to the people And now we see Jim Elliot who carries a passion He's been having this desire along with his four friends to minister to this set of tribal people In an unreachable place And it is no doubt that definitely it is God who has put this desire into him which was not quenchable So as a little broy Even if you see his background as a little boy as he was growing up in portland Oregon Jim Elliot used to listen carefully of other ministry missionaries who used to um, you know, share the Share their stories about the mission field or reaching out the unreached people and how people Died in the process. You know, he was aware of all this Despite his awareness There's a longing desire for him to go and minister to this unreached people So your he decides with a big plan with his four friends on feb 2nd 1952 Jim Elliot Along with his other friends who waved a goodbye to his parents and everyone and boarded a ship for an 18 day trip from San Pedro, California to Keto, Ecuador, South America He and his missionary partner Pete Fleming first spent a year in Kyoto learning to speak Spanish Then they moved to Shandia Shandy a small Cutua Indian village to take the place of the retiring missionary Jim and Pete studied hard to learn the language and fit in So they hard work paid off in six months both ways speaking Spanish well enough to move to Shandia So you see there is a hard work There was an interest passion along with that they started moving in that direction To reach out to people in the language that they know So when they arrived in Shandia, they also had to learn the speech of Cutua Planning to reach the aquas three years later many Cutuas had become faithful Christians. So Jim now began to feel it was time to tell the Okus about Jesus so Three years later Jim now began it is ready. The time is ready to minister to okus and he went there So he also learned that okus had killed many Cutuas So they had also killed several workers who tried to start a oil mill company in that area in that territory So because of that even the oil mill company closed down To save his people because people were very scared to go and work in that company So they closed down. So Jim knew all this But nothing stopped him He wanted aquas to know Jesus so that they may stop killing people His aim was aquas to know and Experience the love of Christ then they may So that they may stop doing what they're doing. So Jim and the four other others Ecuador missionaries began to plan a way to show the okus. They were friendly So Nate saint one of his friend a missionary supply. Let me change the slide to Give me a minute to the name so that when we call out the names of people we would understand who exactly They are Yeah, Nate saint. So we all can see Nate saint, right? Yeah, he was a missionary supply pilot came up with a way to lower a bucket filled with supplies to the people on the ground While flying above them So he thought this would be a perfect way to win the trust of okus without putting any of us in danger So they began to drop gifts to okus. They also used an amplifier to speak out in friendly okus praise So after many months the okus even sent a gift back in the bucket to the plane So Jim and other missionaries felt this is the right time for us to meet with them face to face And one day while flying over that territory Nate saints spotted a beach That looked long enough to land the plane and he planned to land there and the men would build a tree house to stay Safe until friendly contact. They could make with these people. So the missionaries they Flying one by one and dropped off on that beach So Nate saint then flew over the aqua village and called for Okus to come to the beach After four days and oku man and two women appeared So it was easy for them for them to understand and Speak to each other with some oku phrases that they learned and shared a meal with them So Nate Took the man up for a flight ride and they were very friendly So the missionaries tried to show sincere love and friendship with these people So next two days the missionaries waited for the other people to come Fathers to come. So finally on the sixth day They were two aqua women who came close to them out of the jungle But as they reached closer The facial appearance were not very friendly The minute They realized the appearance was not very friendly Jim and Pete Almost immediately heard a Terry Frank Cry behind them and then they turned they saw a group of Okus warrior. They came there with a spear and rushed and raised and you know Um Ready to kill each one of them with a no time all five were pierced with a tarot But the point here is even before they could be pierced with the arrow Jim Elliott reached the gun He had the gun in his pocket and he had to decide instantly if he would want to kill any of these Okus to save themselves But then he decided Not to kill any of these Okus because they did not know Jesus themself You know at that point, I think he would have thought what would Jesus do? He just demonstrated the love of God there. He had the option to save himself But then he had also but he chose the option of demonstrating Christ's love by giving himself for his friend. This is what the scripture says A good friend is the one who lays down his life for his friend Jesus lay down his life voluntarily to each of us to redeem us We see Jim Elliott and his friends just showed that love of Christ to this set of group They just killed at the spear And all the missionaries Ed McCleary, Roger Euderian Nate saint Pete Fleming and Jim Elliott was killed there Lately in the afternoon that Sunday Jan 8 Elizabeth Elliott Jim Elliott's wife Waited for the two-way radio to hear from them But because they didn't hear she had to keep the missionary team updated and next morning another missionary pilot flew over the beach To look out for the man and he saw only badly damaged plane on the beach News quickly spread around the world And about these five missionaries and the United United United States search team went to the beach found the missionary bodies and they buried them Let's not think that This occurs operation ended there in less than two years Elizabeth Elliott Jim Elliott's wife Along with their daughter Valerie and Rachel saying that is Nate's sister were able to move to these okus village Now many okus became Christian after that They are now a friendly tribe missionaries including the Nate saint's son and his family still live among the okus today To know more I would recommend you guys to please watch the movie Movie and read a book on Jim Elliott movie known as end of spear It's available on youtube y'all can download and watch What happened? Elizabeth Elliott even helped to make a movie. Uh, she made a movie on about Operation aqua through the gates of splendor It showed real life scenes of the five missionaries on the beach with the friendly okus Let me repeat the name of the movie Operation aqua. Let me post this in the chat Or There's another movie called the end of spear You can watch this So we exactly will understand how they try to minister to the people how they brought one tribal girl from the trained Learned the language trained her to in speak in English and then they sent her into the tribe And you know through her they started ministering and then finally Jim Elliott's wife along with the others Joined the people they ministered to them and you see they shared the love of christ They were forgiveness and they had there was no vengeance And also there are a few quotes that I would like to share about Jim Elliott which became very famous. It is he is no fool who gives up What he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose So let's ask ourselves As the time is running. I'll end the session with this Let's make it real and ask a few questions like Jim Desire to serve god as a missionary Unlike Jim even we desire to serve god as a missionary But how Do we desire to serve god? Do we have some limitations? We need to ask ourselves Lord helped me to serve you wholeheartedly Prepare me prepare my family what made Elizabeth to step up After her husband to the same tribal people to minister We also see Jim chose not to use a gun to protect himself when attacked by these okus Why did he do that? What would we have done in this place? What would each of us do in this place? Can we be like Elizabeth and Valerie? To go live among the tribal people still to minister We need to ask god we need to ask ourselves and ask god got strengthen us Strengthen our hearts strengthen our mind That we may be ready to serve you The purpose that you have called each of us Let's pray Dear god father we surrender and submit each of us From this class and later we will also be listening to the session of other Lord we pray that every call has a purpose Every purpose As a beginning and has a hand lord.
