 Good morning everyone. Welcome to today's mentoring session which is the first one for our spring 2022. We keep this time open. Yes, we are waiting for our students to join. Good morning to each and every one year who have joined to our weekly mentoring hour. Before we could begin, we can start with a word of prayer. I'm just waiting some of our students to join in. We will start with the word of prayer. Reading from Psalms chapter 16 verse 7 and 8, I will bless the Lord who has given me counsel. My heart also instructs in the night season. I have said the Lord always before me because He is at my right hand. I shall not be moved. Let's pray. Dear Father, we come into Your presence this day. We submit ourselves, our faculty, our students in Your hand. Lord, we pray that You will minister to each one of us. You will increase us in Your wisdom, knowledge and understanding. Lord, we pray that You will lead each one of us and You will guide each one of us. You will minister to each one of us, Lord. We surrender this time in Your hand. Thank You Father for Your Word, which is a light, which brings light to each one of us, the Father, which brings clarity to each one, Lord. Father, I surrender each and everyone in Your hand. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. Amen. Thank you. So, we keep this time open to each one to ask questions or share thoughts where we can discuss, clarify on any topics or any questions that you have in your mind pertaining to the subject or ministry. So, yes, you can unmute and ask questions or you can type your questions on the chat and we have a faculty to help us answer those questions. Thank you. Over to our students. We don't have any anyone asking questions, but maybe we could ask, you know, like people to share what they are doing, maybe like Zellitoli or Anita or just share a little bit about anything they're doing in the ministry, things like that. Yes, sure. Sure, Pastor. Thank you. Yes, we have Zellie or Kiran, Anita. Would you like to come forward to unmute and share like what's happening in your ministry and how you serve in the area where you are? Okay. Good morning, Pastors. Good morning. Well, currently I'm in APC, Kohima, and I'm just helping my pastor out here and I'm glad that I'm here, you know, at the right time, in the right season. God has brought me here and I'm so blessed to be a part of APC, Kohima. And I'm glad that Pastor Homi is my mentor and I've learned so many things of the spirit from her and she's such an amazing woman of God and it's a joy and honor to be working along with her and I'm glad. Yeah, I'm just so happy. Yeah, and I'm growing in the Lord. Thank you all. Thank you. Thank you, Zellie. Thank you. Kiran, you would like to share? Kiran, good morning. Praise the Lord, Sirman. Praise the Lord. I want to just share a little bit for my ministry here. I was leader in my church my mother church and over there, I learned so many things but not like experience like that. But when I just came to theology in APC and I grow in spirit and word growing and maturing and also in my mother church, they gave me opportunity as a pastor and I used to go some some time and share word of God between 30, 40, some some time 60 also God is using me. And next experience last year 2009, 21 December month, my pastor, they gave me like responsibility to take some part. So I first of all, I just I afraid but I feared between them but God gave me that the strength and I came forward and I used to share the word of God as a nice experience last month I received like pasturing and all it it it blessed me and also I wanted to thank to APC our sister and all faculty Nancy, ma'am and all want to just say thanking you. So many things I learned from APC and their all faculties their lifestyle is so much encouraging me and all and just I received that and I just came forward in my church mother church and over there the youth is there so many and and different faith they came over there and say they also used to saw me as a as like something and they also maturing. Thank you. Ms. God that's wonderful to hear Kiran. Thank you so much for sharing very encouraging and praise God for every door that is open to you for you to minister and serve there. Good. Thank you so much. God bless. Yes. Anyone would like to share about how your ministering in the area where you are rather Isaac, Anita, would you like to share? Praise the Lord pastor, praise the Lord everyone. Thanks a lot Anita. So I just wanted to say I mean it's very nice to be here. I'm in Karwar actually and I'm serving here in my local church so due to lockdown we are having the online service so I mean I am I'm teaching I mean actually I'm teaching for junior church children and I'm translating I'm a translator actually in my church so we have two services actually Canada and for me and English and Hindi service. So I translate for Hindi and I mean I do translation and I think my pastor is also joining here Pastor Nicholson. I mean you all know about him so along with him we are just he recently became pastor of our church after his father in those deaths so we I mean we all are helping him along with along with his ministry I do I mean sometimes I do preach as well in Canada so yeah God has been good every time he has been he's teaching me and I'm learning so many things here in Karwar. I was in Bangalore past a few years then I came back in lockdown and I'm here here from past two years now so God has been great he's teaching me everything day by day I'm learning so many things for me and just to this Bible college as well so so many things that I'm learning and thank and thanking God and everyone for giving me this opportunity I mean giving me this platform to learn God's word and thank you that's it thank you everyone thank you. Thank you Anita thank you and it's wonderful to know that how God is open up an opportunity for you to translate in your church and minister to the junior children's children that's really wonderful please God for that yes yeah Brother Isaac Rupa would you like to share yes share yeah yes please go ahead um praise God yeah for my time I have been spent with ABC I want to appreciate all of us and all of you when the faculty that taught us for the first for the first semester I think we are giving a lot of insight into the Bible and we are becoming more interesting and more more informed and now what is obtaining in my local church like I stated before I was working in the airline industry I was working at the airport and I just retired in 2019 but before that I have been playing an active role in my church but in an administrative rule because like I stated before my wife started the ministry and she has been running the ministry I've been helping her in an administrative rule but prior to my retirement I was always telling myself that after retirement I want to play a more active role in the ministry well I always look at myself that maybe I cannot be a very good preacher but I'm interested in teaching so that's why I really count my blessing that I discovered ABC this is where we are now I thank God for that but then recently my wife who is the head of the church and the church elders I've decided to do an ordination which is coming up on the 13th of February and my wife has asked that I should be ordained well I wanted to decline I said I really want to study more because at least if I have to teach if I have to propagate the word of God I think I need more knowledge but I think my spirit is telling me that I can do the ordination and then still continue my Bible studies so that's where we are what I have accepted to do the ordination so I thank God for that and I want you in faculty to help me in prayers so that at least I will develop more spirit more interest and become a useful instrument in the propagation of God's words praise God thank you praise God amen thank you thank you there's a question yes yes how does this imply if please yeah I would yeah so the Matthew 10 23 obviously I think we just have to understand what Jesus is saying when he sent his disciples the persecuting one town go to the next now of course in those days towns are very small you know just maybe a few hundred people or sometimes maybe a few thousand people compared to towns and cities in our time so the scale of things is something we have to keep in mind so and plus I think the underlying thought there in Matthew 10 23 is preserve your own you know protect yourself so we don't necessarily have to leave down to protect ourselves and the point is that we will face persecution wherever we are and we have to take safety measures so one is I think it's even it's better to be preventive rather than reactive so when we know that there is hostility towards the church towards the ministry we take preventive measures to protect our lives and the lives of the people involved to whatever extent we can we don't have to leave down to do that we can protect people staying maybe so I think the the the your lessons of what Jesus is saying that is we are more useful to God alive than dead so you know stay alive as long as you can keep yourself alive and be useful to the Lord and so you know we take preventive measures to protect our lives and the lives of the people that we are responsible for and we don't have to leave down to do that yeah sure but the one follow up Christian I posted sure oh is that okay if you pass by are we supposed to file court cases is it biblical I think so the answer is yes and the reasons that we could say is this one the Bible tells us and we see this in many places in Romans 13th chapter in first Peter chapter 2 now the Bible teaches us that government is a God appointed institution in order to protect the people civil government so therefore everything that is made available to us through the civil government we have to leverage in as much as we have the Bible gives us a responsibility to be accountable to civil government we also therefore derive the benefits of being accountable to the civil government which is of course you know to leverage the judicial system to protect ourselves so that's one point of view one one thing to consider second thing to consider is just to look at what the apostle Paul himself did in the book of Acts when he was apprehended he said you know and he he first of all he was mistried or it was a mistrial because he was he being a Roman citizen should not have been treated the way he was treated when he was apprehended so there was a violation and what did he do he said I appeal to Caesar that means he it's almost like I appeal to the Supreme Court because the lower court has mishandled my case they didn't treat me well they didn't do what they're supposed to do so he he had the option they were willing to let him go you know they realized their mistake they were willing to let him but he said no I appeal to Caesar and so basically it's like appealing to the Supreme Court and then they said okay if you appeal to Caesar we have to send you to Rome and so that's why Paul ended up in Rome which resulted of course in the Gospel being brought into the Roman palace and so on so we look at Paul's example he's there and he did leverage the civil system that was available during his time so on both counts we can say that yes it is it is something right for us to do in the face of you know persecution and so on I hope that helps John yeah sure yeah thank you thank you thank you thank you John for question um Zellie sorry I lost your question as I rejoin I see your question on the chat can request you to please unmute and ask your question you're sure but still like uh I have a question regarding suicide you know like um I learned about so many pastors and church leaders committing suicide and you know and people have their different views regarding suicide that all those things are a bit confused regarding the issue of society and many church leaders and believers also struggle with suicidal thoughts and all those things so my question is if a person commits suicide and if that person is a believer will he or she go to heaven or what happens you know if you all can share some line I would appreciate that thank you thank you Zellie can I request pastor Nancy would you like to take up this question please yes pastor Anna thank you and yeah Zellie from my understanding you know something like suicide I am sure pastor would explain it better to you but my understanding I don't see why you know an act like this would disqualify you from the you know the the blessings that God has given a person who's saved so when you're in Christ Jesus I don't see why you would miss heaven if at all a believer ends their life for whatever reason and I also know that you know sometimes the cause for someone to come to this conclusion could be that they're battling a mental illness and you know out of the that if you want to call it that sickness somebody came to that conclusion but I mean I don't see why God would not based on his word and the finished work of the cross let them experience the the reward of salvation and heaven yeah so I think I would leave it with just that I think pastor would be better to answer this faster please yeah I'll just pick up where Nancy left so Zellie you know so the fact is yes a lot of believer I mean not a lot but there are believers and there are even pastors and Christian leaders who've committed suicide so there's the big question you know where will they go now one point of view that is those who say that anyone who commits suicide will not go to heaven they usually use revelation the 20th chapter and the 8th verse there it says the covered Lee the unbelieving you know will not enter heaven basically they will be in the lake of fire so they you know they they classify suicide as an act of covetous or fear so that's why that's one of the scriptures they would use saying like you know somebody commits suicide they won't go to heaven because it's a covertly act they've given into fear etc but here's what I want to think through right suppose there is a believer and he has a lustful thought for a moment just imagine this situation right he's thinking lustful thoughts now and then the next second he he or she has a heart attack and dies so that believer did not have time to repent of those lustful thoughts now as far as God is concerned part the sin in in the thought realm is equal to sin in the deed realm as far as God is concerned there's no difference that means like Jesus said in Matthew 5 if somebody looks at a woman lustfully to commit adultery that is sin in the thought is equal to sin indeed that means he has committed adultery now the same words in Romans 20 verse 8 says that the moral will not get into heaven so the fact is he has a believer who has sinned in the thought life didn't have time to repent died question is where will the person go will he be sent to hell just because he didn't repent of that once in full thought or is he saved by grace because of faith in Jesus Christ now we will all recognize that you know we are all saved by grace through faith in Christ and that person is not going to go to hell just because you know of the scenario that he described but Revelation 20 and verse 8 says those who are immoral will go to hell right so so on that same reasoning that's why we say that a believer who commits suicide i mean yes that believer gives into fear or gives into a sense of hopelessness or gives into a sense of despair or gives into sense of depression or as Nancy mentioned sometimes it's some other form of mental illness they give into it and they commit suicide so we say look that one act is not going to send them to an eternal hell but the fact that they are saved by grace stands is that okay it's a little hope you understood my reasoning yes pastor it's clear thank you so much okay thank you for the question another question from Abraham that the light of your answers please is it okay allow only people to come to church pastor would you like to take this question up okay so yeah so Abraham i can just share with you our approach you know what we have done here in bangl of course right now we're in lockdown so we can't have services but when we were allowed to have services what we did was we only made recommendations that means we are recommendations or request right we requested that only those you know after after vaccines available we requested first of all we encourage people to get vaccinated then we requested that only those who are vaccinated attend in-person services and we requested people you know to wear their masks and to be careful and all of that so we didn't necessarily make these as rules like we didn't enforce it we didn't you know tell people show us your vaccination certificate etc but we only put it out there as a recommendation or as a request for the safety of everybody involved so we didn't now we know that some people came who are not vaccinated they didn't believe in vaccines but they wanted to attend service we said okay that's your choice but just keep in mind that you know you may be at risk and you're putting others at risk also but we're not we're not saying you cannot come to church we're just saying we recommend or we request that people are you know get both their vaccine shots before coming also wear masks and all that so that's the approach we took and you know if you say biblically now I think you know if you look at how God operates God doesn't force us but he tells us you know what's right and wrong and then he tells us to choose life so if you look at you know jitrami the 30th chapter he says you know behold I said before your life and death blessing and cursing choose life right so it's like God tells us this is right this is wrong I want you to choose what's right but I'll leave the choice to you you know so maybe I'm just trying to give us a little framework I'm not saying this is the only way to do it but maybe we could follow that example where we tell people you know this is good for you it's good for all of us please choose it but we cannot of course force them to do it is that okay yes pastor thank you so much thank you pastor thank you Abraham so I would encourage each of us to ask questions and share thoughts so that we all can learn together do any of us have any questions you can either post it on the chat or you can unmute and ask your question or until then maybe we can start sharing what's happening in our minister in the area where we are can I request Rupa to please go and share about the ministry in the place where you are serving yes good morning everyone and praise the lord thank you for this opportunity to share during the Christmas season God has given me given us a thought we moved to a place in our in the village where we are doing ministry they don't usually don't give rent rented places for church worship but in God's grace and abundant mercy and in his plan one person have come forward to rent his rice mill old rice mill he has renovated it for us and he has rented over it over to us but because of covid we could not meet very often most of the services were online but after we started physically meeting during this Christmas because God has given us a prophecy over that place that he would give those people to God's kingdom we started praying for it and God has revealed that there was it was in a triangle that church is in one point so we decided to invite the people around the church there were about 25 families around most of them are Hindus and muslims so we were very apprehensive but we prayed over it and I selected seven people to go and invite them and God was very good to us they have God has opened their hearts and they were ready they invited and them into their homes and they were very receptive in coming to the Christmas function we have invited them over so we have been invited them over for worship on Christmas day they all most of them came and some of them have sent their children as representatives we prepared a love fees for them and we were able to share the good news on that day and I really praise God in this time so difficult to reach out to Hindus God has made way for us to share his good news to them and also as we ministered in a small hospital campus it's like a township when we went there inside it is like a anti-christian secular thing but we were very cautious and we went to the homes where they were invited for carols and while we were going and visiting those houses around 15 children from other faiths started following us wherever we went and we had the opportunity to invite them over for Christmas and I also had the opportunity to share the gospel with the little children I really thank and praise God for that opportunity and after the Christmas also few of the families I thought we should make it a point that they are invited into the church they're accepted into the church as they are and they can come whenever they can so that is how we are doing continuing in the ministry God has called us to and also God has given me given us another thought saying that now I have we have selected two or three women who are at home and they come from faiths into faith and they know that village very well so I told them we are all praying and we are sending them two by two into the village at least to say share the gospel to few five families at least every week that's what we are doing please pray for us that we will be in tune with God's guidance and reach out to the people in the campus and also in the village where we are doing the ministry thank you thank you thank you Rupa sharing happy to hear how God's open the remote the rural thank you praise God yes um anyone else would like to share Rosalind would you like to share about how you're ministering a place where you are or Abraham would you like to would you like to share um please what's the question again will I like to share about your ministering in the place where you are yes okay okay thank you so much I I'm currently in Vietnam and I happen to lead a small group almost about 15 people and I think we we had a small venue uh to have our meetings and sometimes if we receive um I'm alone if I you know because of the way I'm not really connected to any ministry here in Vietnam all the ones that I'm connected to they are far away so sometimes when I get into our meetings like this or when I have pastors to talk to uh it's really an encouragement to receive counsel from uh other pastors and other leaders but beside that I think by the grace of God we have some of our meetings online and some of our meetings will be offline from next week so I'm grateful to the lord for what he's doing because uh there was no vision I mean we had a person inside us we knew that okay this is what God wants to do but we couldn't see that it's coming so soon and by God's grace the people are transforming the people are loving God that's the most important thing that I'm beginning to see the passion that they have for Christ and it looks as if we all came here to make money but most of them have been able to cancel their hours of classes just to pray just to fellowship with us online so I'm just grateful that we are doing our best as a God to guide us and hoping that uh we'll continue and not give up thank you so much thank you thank you hebron for sharing it's wonderful thank you so much yes um anyone else madhu varti would you like to share about the ministry how you're serving in the area where you are or charles would you like to share about the ministry how you serve in the place where you are madhu varti you can go ahead if you're yes hello good morning yes we can hear you yeah good morning hi um please lord um chilea student who is doing the e-learning course from abcbc and I joined the mentoring hour to see the questions and the answers that are so that I can hear them and be learn something new I'm actually a student I completed my b-tech and I'm currently trying to learn more about God and I started doing this e-learning course just to equip myself and train myself more in Jesus Christ so that I can do the ministry of God later on in my life so I thank you that uh for giving me an opportunity to uh learn the courses in the bible college and I'll uh and I hope that uh I'll learn more about Jesus Christ and I'll train myself better for the kingdom of God thank you thank you thank you thank you madhu mati thank you so much for joining us on you know the mentoring hour thank you and we pray that God will continue to ministry you okay there anyone else okay charlotte's okay yes there's no questions and um yeah I'd say 39 can be uh I would like I would like to ask one question uh I'm sure it's going to help all of us um so uh in in church that we are serving in so there are a couple of people from other faiths who've been coming to church for over about two and a half three years now and um you know they are from other faiths so they haven't really you know whenever we've made altar calls whenever we have you know asked uh you know for baptism classes they haven't really come forward uh but one of the things that I've noticed is during the communion Sunday when we celebrate the Lord's table uh they partake of it uh now there are times when I have gone and told them see uh it's important to make that decision for Christ to you know to surrender your life and uh so my question is more of so what do we do when you know we don't see a response from them uh but they're continuing to partake in the Lord's table uh I did explain to them what the Lord's table is but they're not what are baptized they haven't really made that commitment at least um you know an outward commitment for us to know also so my question is like how do we handle this kind of situation um do we tell them you know Paul writes in 1st Corinthians he says you know to take the Lord's table in a worthy manner uh I'm sure they are there they are of course taking it they are not disrespecting the Lord's table but my concern is do they really know what they are doing uh what what the Lord's table is so my question is do we request them to stop do we let them continue to partake in the Lord's table so Pastor would you like to help us answering this question thank you yeah so yeah thanks thank you for the question Paul so one is in the New Testament uh we don't have any clear statement that somebody has to be water baptized in order to partake of the Lord's table uh what we do understand is that um you know somebody has to be a believer they have to believe in Jesus Christ who he is and what he has done for us through his death burial and resurrection in order to meaningfully partake of the Lord's table so uh so that's one reason why you know every time we do the Lord's table uh we take a few minutes just to uh talk about the cross of course we don't preach a full sermon on the cross but just a few minutes to say you know this is what Jesus did for us on the cross and this is what partaking of the Lord's table is and therefore you're welcome to partake so you know from our pastoral side we do that every time you know just take maybe a few minutes five minutes or less saying this is what Jesus did on the cross and this is what the elements mean and therefore we are partaking and all who believe are welcome to partake so from because the New Testament doesn't categorically state that somebody has to be water baptized uh to partake of the Lord's table I think it's not right for us to bring in that but some denominations do but we don't you know for us we understand that as long as they believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and uh and understand the meaning of the cross they welcome to partake so we would just leave it at that so for example these people now and it doesn't you know it could be from other faiths it could be people who've been in church but they haven't paid any attention to the Bible so it really doesn't matter the point is as long as they have believed in Jesus and they understood have trusted in Christ to be the Lord and Savior they're welcome to partake now subsequently you know when the time is right they may be water baptized for example the same thing we do in children's church we serve communion in children's church uh so children partake of the Lord's table and they will get water baptized you know at some point later maybe when they whenever they are ready so but they start partaking of the Lord's table from an early age uh because they understand the you know what Jesus did for them on the cross in there in there at their level so um that's what I would say that uh you know really doesn't matter if they are from a non-Christian background or a Christian background as long as they're believers in Jesus Christ they understand what Christ did for them on the cross they welcome to partake on the Lord's table and at some point later whenever they are ready they will be water baptized is that okay for you yes pastor thank you thank you pastor yes thank you pastor thank you so much uh we also have one last question from Isaac Vandy in my sharing I stated that the leadership of our ministry has asked that I be ordained is it acceptable to ordain now or way to continue my studies to get more insight in the word of God pastor would you like to answer this please um you know um I I guess um it all depends on what this ordination is for uh if it is you know okay let's say in general this ordination is really an appointment into a place of spiritual leadership that means they're saying they're setting you into a place of spiritual leadership and responsibility over the people uh so that is a very serious thing right if you're if if somebody's being appointed to be an usher okay that's fine or somebody's being appointed to be you know uh in some other you know helps type of role okay that's that's plain and simple but if somebody but if you're being ordained into you know the way the bible's talking about in terms of a place of spiritual leadership then I think it is a very serious matter and if you go by the scripture and I'm just looking at 1st Timothy chapter 3 and I'm also looking at 1st Timothy chapter 5 in both these places uh we find that uh you know while it's to be a spiritual leader is a good thing Paul starts off that 1st Timothy chapter 3 verse 1 he says you know if any man desires a role of a bishop or a spiritual leader he desires a good thing but here are the things that we have to look for you know that means make sure he has he comes into this place of maturity before putting him uh appointing him into that place of leadership that in other words go slow don't be in a hurry and that's what he says in 1st Timothy chapter 5 he says lay hands suddenly on no man you know what's he talking about don't appoint somebody leadership in a hurry so my response to you Isaac from what you have shared I think it's a place of spiritual leadership in the church and I would suggest just based on scripture go slow that means there's no hurry you know you can ask them for one more year and say okay you know what I love to be a leader but just give me a year and a year from now I should be ready and the most important thing is to prove your calling first you know uh that means first do the work you know first you start serving first you start leading first you start spiritually nurturing people uh and after you do that for one or two years then it makes sense to be ordained into that you know the Bible always says prove your calling first right so do the work first and you have signs of fruit in that area then you appoint somebody into that place rather than appointing them first and then expecting them to serve and if that doesn't happen then it's a big mess actually so my suggestion would be wait for one or two years serve and those one or two years spiritually prove the calling see fruit coming then you can have people appoint you if that's okay okay uh I don't want to disappoint you or anything but uh I'm just sure is that okay yeah I think it's okay but um like I'm saying I'm interested in the teaching ministry yeah I'm okay yeah I'm interested in the teaching ministry and yeah there is a vacuum I mean like my wife she has a calling yeah she has a calling she started the church she has a calling for for prayer she has a calling for prophecy okay she can preach but there is a vacuum and we have young people that have come to the ministry I think uh the need tutorial um from the yeah from the insight I'm getting I think I will prepare to to teach like he said but I will discuss with the with the leadership of the ministry more thank you wonderful wonderful thank you yeah thank you pastor thank you brother Isaac thank you and um thank you each one of you all for participating in today's mentoring session it's 849 and we are running out of time so we can go ahead pray and wrap up this session yeah I see sexes uh Enoch has raised his hand okay yes please sexes you can let us know yeah good morning everyone good morning my pastors my teacher my lecturer um please I'm looking at the timing I would have been participating fully in all these lecture that I'm mixing some time like now this is 4 20 a.m and before in the angelia time I just get awake and I saw that lecture is gone if there's any way they can adjust the time for us so that we can also be participate fully in especially that it's o'clock uh a a m hours in your country because I'm we I'm not falling it falling that's my god my what I want to say my opinion if you can adjust the time so that we can also be participated in the lecture fully thank you pastor can you answer because I could not hear him clearly okay okay yeah as Enoch was talking about the time 8 o'clock 8 a.m here in India especially this this first hour is you know like 4 o'clock or something they're very very in Africa yeah Enoch so we here's the here's the situation we I know there are several people from Africa but then there are also people from the other side of the world like Abraham is from Vietnam and so it's probably in the afternoon there and then we have some people like from I think all the way up to New Zealand for them like 8 o'clock in the morning India time is like 3 30 in the afternoon over there so it is um yeah I know it's inconvenient for people you know just because of the time zone difference but what what I would say at this point is that you know these things are recorded so you could always listen to the recordings if you'd like to but maybe next semester we even see you know one option like what we used to do was we used to have some of our sessions at uh 12 in the noon to one you know that's that's the way that's what we used to have supernatural hour 12 to one Indian time that would be more convenient for you know so let's just think about it and and and we will you know maybe if not this semester definitely we can try to adjust next semester but we will definitely keep this thought in mind thank you for bringing it thank you so much I'm grateful I'm so grateful about that thank you so much thank you thank you pastor for answering this question and yes as time is up can we wrap this session with a word of prayer can I request John Paul to please wrap
