 Okay, we've started the recording of the class, so good morning everyone. Welcome to the class. Welcome, Kannan. I said welcome to all the others. Welcome to the third year. So, you know, there are some who go on from the first year to the second year, and then there are some who are now going on the third year, so welcome all of you. This is your final year with us at APC Bible College, and then in May, you will all graduate with your bachelor's degree, and it will be great. And hopefully this third year will be a good time of learning, equipping. In the third year, we've specially designed it to deal with practical things in the area of ministry. And at the same time, we will look at some little bit more intensive things like studying, you know, various books in the scripture, so you'll be studying the Gospel of John, and for second and third John, you'll be doing the book of Acts, Romans, first and second Corinthians, you will be doing all of the other epistles, studying through them, verse by verse, and you'll also be doing Revelation and Daniel and so on. So along with this, there will be practical things you will be learning, and one of the, or the two of the courses this semester has to do with urban church planting, and there's one more course on church ministry and church and ministry administration, and there's also another course on worship ministry, and so these are kind of very practical things, courses that deal with, you know, really how to do ministry, how to, you know, what are the challenges you will find when you practically do ministry, whether it's a pastoral ministry or other things. I hope you will find these, whatever it is, in the coursework section of Google Classroom, I have uploaded two PDFs, one is the, let me just share my screen, the first one is the course overview, this PDF which you can download, you know, why are we doing this course and what are we going to cover, so this course on urban church planting, so although the course says urban church planting, we will, we're not going to be confined just to church planting, but any kind of urban ministry, right? So we want to, so if you're going to start a church or start a ministry in an urban context, that means a city, what are some of the things we need to, you know, how can we be prepared for that? That's the objective of this course. Now why do we have such a course? Generally when you look at what's happening globally, we find that about 54% of the world's population is in urban areas, and it's growing, so by 2050, that's another 25 years or so, about 66% of the world's population will be living in cities, so it's a big shift in our people moving into the cities. That's not to say that rural or those kind of populations are not important, but what we are trying to emphasize is we need to pay a lot more attention and make a lot more effort in reaching people in urban areas, in cities and so on, urban centers, so that's what this course is geared about, geared towards, you know, what are some things we need to keep in mind as we start ministries or churches in urban areas? And so the outline of the course, we will break it up in several sections. The first section is what we just want to call an Introduction to Chances section where we just lay some groundwork. These are some basic things to keep in mind as we start thinking about doing ministry in urban contexts, then we'll talk about the practical aspects of church planting. Now, I may speak a lot in terms of church planting, but whatever we are saying applies to any kind of ministry that you're starting in an urban context. So we talked about some practical things in terms of church planting or urban ministry. We also want to talk about the spiritual side of things. That section three, you know, how does a spiritual side effect what we are doing in our cities, in our urban centers. Then in section four, we'll talk about the personal life. You know, how can I be prepared to pioneer something, to start something in a city? You know, what are some of the things I should be prepared for personally to talk about that. And then we will talk about future projections. That means, okay, if you look into the future, what are some things we can expect? Now, especially, you know, the times in which we are living in, how is the church going to change as we begin to come out of this whole COVID-19 pandemic? You know, what are some of the changes we can expect? That's something we need to think about. You know, would church be different? How would people's mindsets be different? You know, and so how should the church be ready for this? So we'll talk about those kinds of things. The assessment basically is 30, 30, 40. We'll give three assessments. This would be based on what we have been discussing. And of course, it'll be more practical. A lot of things we're talking about would be just practical things. So it would be related to those things. And I would like to, in these assessments, give you an opportunity to, you know, just share some of the things that you would like to do or are doing in ministry. So the questions will be good in that way. And one of the things, I mean, there are many books that have been written as far as urban ministry is concerned. And one of the earliest books that came out was by John Dawson, Taking Our Cities For God. And I think Deborah has posted a PDF of that in the course, in the stream, Google Flash stream, so you can download that. So around that time, there were some books. There was another book written called Spirits of the City. Again, it was written by somebody from YBAM, Youth with the Mission. And so there was several books that came out. And since that time, several other books that deal with both the spiritual side and the practical side of urban ministry. But I've just mentioned one. There are many other books you can find. So the APC publications also bear relevance to what we are talking. And you can, you're welcome to look at them and we're not going to be using them as a textbook as such. What we will be doing is I'll be giving you these PDFs as we go through these sections of notes that I put together and we will use them. Okay. So feel free, like what we normally do. Feel free to ask questions. Feel free to bring up your thoughts, your ideas as we go through the course. You know, I know we are a small class, but we will keep it interactive. Feel free to share your thoughts and so on. And let's keep it as practical as possible and relevant to, you know, what each of you may be doing in the cities that you are working with or that you are thinking about. Okay. I just want to start off by sharing a little bit of my own experience in this area. And this is not to, you know, sound very big or anything, just to share the share a little bit of my own journey as far as church planting and, you know, what, what we've been doing in this area. So I'll just share a little bit on this from my side. And you have this outline this in the PDF as well. So when I was in school, so this goes back way and payback in 1982 to 86 grades nine to 12 here in Bangalore. In some way I pioneered. That means I went out and I started work prayer groups in three different schools in Bangalore. So one was in my own school where I was studying I started a short tea time prayer group so that was just, you know, between 11 to 1115 break time. And a few students come together for prayer. I know it was very short time but, you know, it was very quick. We spent a few moments to be prayed. That was it. And then during the lunch break, which was a little longer. That was, I think, from 1215 toward one o'clock or something we had a lunch breaks Monday to Friday. I started a prayer group in two other schools nearby. So I would actually go to these neighboring schools, gather students together, share the, share the, you know, share the word of God with them pray with them and so on. And during that time I also started another Bible study on Saturdays. The Methodist Church that I used to be part of. So really I was responsible for these four groups. One was in my own school, two other schools, and then a prayer group in my church. And so in some way, and all of these were things that I started I initiated. So in some way there was this whole pioneering aspect to it. You know, and providing leadership to these groups, keeping people motivated, keeping people envisioned, and so on. So there were some things that I learned in those early days during my school days grades nine through 12. Then when I left Bangalore, I went to do my engineering in Manipal, which is about 300 some kilometers from here. From Bangalore, I went to another town Manipal to do my engineering. What happened was these four groups that I had started just died out. That's when I realized that look when you start something, you need to think about the future. You need to appoint somebody to continue the work. You don't want something you started just to die out. So I felt very bad that I had invested so much time in these groups here in Bangalore. I left Bangalore to go to another town. All these four groups died out and there's nobody to take leadership and go forward. But that really left a lot of impression on me saying, look, next time I do something, I want to make sure that, you know, I proactively raise up leaders so that they can continue the work. So I went to Manipal that is 1986 to 1994 years of bachelor's degree. And the late in my third year, 1989, I started again a pioneering work, meaning we started from scratch, from nothing. We started what we call as a Believer's Fellowship in Manipal, which is basically a community town where there were students engineering and medical and law and dental and different colleges for that. So we started a work for them in Manipal. And students kept coming. But here I made sure that there was a vision that was given. Plus, a leader was raised up so that when I graduated in 1990 and left, I was able to hand off the work to another student saying, you're going to lead this work. You can continue this work, given the vision. And, and then I moved out. So when I moved out that work didn't stop. Somebody was in place to continue the work. But it was also a very interesting time because we had to think about how are we going to reach students in our college in the colleges in that town. How are we going to do it in a way that, you know, would be relevant to students in those days. There was a little bit of opposition we also faced. So how do we do it in a way that, you know, we don't get into trouble with authorities. And so all of those things, you know, that we had to think through as students as we pioneered that work and, you know, looking back after I left and the next person took over the work continue to flourish at one point there were more than 200 or 250 students together in that fellowship. Some families also were attending the work grew. Eventually it was formally made into a registered local church and so on. So that was a wonderful experience. And then when I went to the United States spent 10 years there. You know, I did my, I studied my masters and then started working and all over there. Again, be pioneer different things that was in Cleveland, Ohio, we started international students Bible study because geared towards international students. Then when I was in New Jersey, I worked for some time with existing fellowships. There was a Korean Christian fellowship and an African American local church. So I worked with them for some time served with them, and then moved out and again to pioneer a bilingual church, which was English and Spanish. So it was a bilingual church and we had an opportunity to pioneer that work. And again, it was a learning experience. How do you do something that serves people with multilingual congregation? You know, so it was very interesting. And also it was cross-cultural because some of us were Indian, the others were Hispanic or from Central and South America. So, you know, culturally, how do we work together as was again a very rich experience in all of these scenarios. Then we moved to Chicago. We worked with an existing church. We just served there. And as a small church, we did that. Then, you know, throughout this time, you know, right from time in school, I felt that there was a desire to, you know, God had given a vision to come to Bangalore and establish a church and impact the nation of India and other nations. So whatever happened from 1980s onwards, for me, it was more of a learning, a training for this vision of planting a church in Bangalore. So in 2001 is when we came back to Bangalore and we pioneered all people's church. In the first 14 years, I was also working, running my own technology business while pioneering the church. That is 2001, 2014. And then in 2014, I transitioned, I closed down the technology business and focused, you know, on the church ministry full-time. So, again, this journey of pioneering all people's church was a learning experience. Working in a city from here, planting churches in other cities and serving people across India. So this has been a learning journey and I hope to be able to, you know, share some of those learnings with us as a class. Definitely, I want to learn from you as you share your stories of what's happening in, you know, the cities that you are involved in, what you are experiencing, what you are doing, you know, we can learn from each other as we make this journey on how to pioneer, how to start work in urban cities and urban centers. Okay. So, any thoughts, any questions before we get into the content? That was just an introduction. Any things that you would like to see addressed in the course that you think would be useful to you? Any, you can share it. Anyone? Okay. Not right now, sir. We are writing the course in the course of the course. Yeah. Okay. As we go along, you may have questions and ideas and sure. Okay. So we're going to get started with first of all, trying to, you know, we want to place emphasis, first of all, on the fact that the Holy Spirit is our leader, right? So, in this course, we're going to talk about a lot of practical things, you know, how to do this and how to do that and don't do this, don't do that. Or this is what, this was my experience and this is what I learned. And so, you know, I'm going to be sharing a lot of mistakes we made, challenges we faced. So there's going to be a lot of practical, those kinds of things that we will talk about. But as we talk about that, we shouldn't lose focus that ultimately the Holy Spirit is our leader. That means the Holy Spirit is the one who should have the lead and the direction of the work we do. Right. And so, I just want to remind us of some scriptures. Acts chapter one verse eight, you know, when Jesus, after he gave the great commission of saying, go and make disciples. He told his, you know, the 120, or I guess he was speaking to the 500 people who were seeing him go up. And how many of people were there in Mount Olives there in Acts one eight, he said, you will receive power. And the Holy Spirit comes on you. And you will be my witnesses to the ends of the earth, you know, to Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. So in order to go and make disciples in order to go and fulfill the great commission, Jesus said, you will receive power and you will be my witnesses once the Holy Spirit comes on you. So we must always remember that as we, even though we talk about practical things, you know, this is how we should do it and do it like this and so on. Ultimately, the Holy Spirit should be our leader and he should guide you and guide me. So, you know, we have to, you know, keep listening to him. So what we are going to share with you are practical things. They are useful things, but listen to the Holy Spirit. Right. So take the things we talk about. Use it. They will inspire some ideas for you. They will give you some, you know, direction, but ultimately, most importantly, depend on the Holy Spirit. So I just want to emphasize that at the very beginning. And again, I want to remind us about Zechariah chapter four verse six and seven. You know, where the scripture said there, God speaks through the prophet Zechariah and he says, you know, it's not by might, it's not by power, but it's by my spirit. So does it. So he said, you know, it's not by might, human power, human strength, not by human power, but it's by the spirit that the work that God had called Zero Babel to do is people to do will be accomplished. So while there's nothing wrong in us using our mind and using the methods and the practical information, we are going to learn there's nothing wrong with that. Ultimately, everything is subject to God to the Holy Spirit, and it is by his spirit that the work will be accomplished. So I just want to, you know, keep that in mind. We need to get too distracted. I mean, we need to learn these practical things, but our dependence is always on the Holy Spirit. So our dependence is on God, unless he builds the house, our efforts will be in vain. We know that someone 27 was one, unless the Lord builds the house, you know, they labor in vain, who build it. Right. So, and in the notes, I'm just looking at the notes here and, you know, we've put some thoughts here along this line that, you know, we labor, but increase comes from God, you know, first Corinthians three, Paul said, you know, I planted apple is watered, but God gave the increase. So that's how we work, you know, we plant the water, but increase comes from God, we can be faithful, and we can be wise. We can do it intelligently how we plant and how we water, we must do that. But then fruit will come from God. Right. So I just want to keep that in front of us as we begin this journey. Okay. So, you know, what are some of the challenges we struggle with, you know, as we think about doing ministry in an urban center. Right. So, the question I just want to put forward to the class is, and we can just, you know, you can just share your thoughts. So many of you are I think all of all of us here are in urban centers. You know, whether it's Bangalore as a city or Kathmandu or Kolkata or, you know, Mysore, I forget the other cities, Nagpur, I think, Sharon, Sharon, Nagpur is it. Pona, Pona. Okay. So Pona Manu is in Varanasi, I think. I don't know, you're in Varanasi or I forget. Reverelli. Okay, Reverelli. Okay. All right. So, you know, each one of us are in different places, Kandan in Tamil Nadu and Prince, somewhere in Prince Varayu, I forgot. West Kandan. Sorry, where was that? West Bengal. Okay. Okay, so Prince also says, okay. So all of you are in different places and if you can just share, you know, you're trying to do ministry in your city. What are some of the challenges you face when you're trying to do the practical and yet depend on the spiritual? You know, so we are saying we had to depend on the Holy Spirit, but we must also do some practical things. You know, we have to plant and we have to water, then God can give the increase. So when you're planting and watering, of course you have to do it intelligently. You have to do it with wisdom. You don't simply go and plant randomly somewhere or water somewhere else. No, you plant and you water, you sow and you water intelligently and you look to God for the increase. Now, in balancing that, what are some of the challenges you struggle with? I just want to listen to you. Anybody wants to say anything? Thomas, have you encountered that kind of a struggle between practical things to do and direction from the Holy Spirit? In urban, honestly speaking, we friends of four and five are not quite difficult to reach for the non-believers. And moreover, the people in the church, in urban life, it's a busy life where they are unable to give much time for the work of God because in the family, two people working together, a child. So they feel it's quite difficult to engage more in the work of God. So the weekend services and Sunday services, it goes like it's a routine, but it's not more, I facing as a challenge and things to do. And then growth also, it's very, that's what I'm facing currently actually. The struggle in urban settings, the fact that people are all very busy, so spiritual things have little time, so trying to work through those challenges. Anyone else, in trying to depend on the Holy Spirit, come up with practical strategies, what are some of the things you face in balancing the two? Anyone else? Kanan, what's happening there? What are your challenges? One of the main challenges is in the pandemic. The pandemic started the early days of Zoom meeting, people were so excited to join. But later it become boring because they want to be gathered again and that they are honestly able to connect to Zoom or what? Because I can see in this stage, everyone of the conversation is to join cheerfully, but only one or two families will show up. That is a major challenge and cut scenario. Again, the cases are rising, it's a difficult phase. But in this phase, it's quite difficult to seek new souls or do the gospel work extent difficult in current situations. Yeah. So this pandemic has really impacted urban ministry, how we do ministry in cities a lot. And like you're saying, initially there was this big excitement of doing service online and on Zoom and so on. But then at some point it did become challenging as well. So yeah, I think we're going to talk about that a little later in terms of what is the future of the church going to look like in urban centers? What are some of the things we should be trying to think ahead of time? What are some of the things we should be ready for in a post-pandemic church? Or once we are able to come out of this, transition out of this, how would things look for the church in the urban center? We need to talk about that. So what I feel is in the struggle that many of us face is on the one hand we want to listen to the Holy Spirit. For him to give us ideas and strategies on what to do to serve people. And as we go through this course, I will share with you things that the Holy Spirit inspired us to do in the city of Bangalore. So we want to depend the Holy Spirit. But then at the same time, there is homework that we need to do. That means we need to research, we need to observe, we need to strategize, and we need wisdom in executing that work. So we are depending on the Holy Spirit, but we need the practical side of how to execute the work, how to carry out the work. And so this is a struggle because sometimes we may swing to either sides. What do I mean by that? Sometimes we just depend on the Holy Spirit. We say, Holy Spirit will give me an idea. But then we don't do our homework. We don't do our research. We don't observe people. We don't try to understand people. And then even though we have a God-given strategy, we are unable to execute it well because we are not doing our part of understanding the people that we are ministering to. So then we miss out. We struggle. Not because the idea was not right, although the inspiration was not right, but we didn't do our part. Now, on the other hand, if you swing to the other side is where we get so caught up with the practical side of things, looking at all these are the needs of the people. This is what they are struggling with. So I must do something to help them in that area of need or this need. And there's nothing wrong with that. But sometimes we get just caught up with different needs that we don't listen to the Holy Spirit. And so we get so busy trying to address, you know, five, six, seven, maybe 10 different needs we see in the city, which is good. I'm not saying it's wrong, but maybe God doesn't want you to address all five needs. Maybe he wants you to do two of them. And that value. But how will you know which two? That's where we have to listen to the Holy Spirit. Right. So sometimes as ministers, as people are working in cities, we tend to swing to either extreme. But what I want to encourage us as we journey through this course is to try and blend the two. That is, I must hear from God. I must get Holy Spirit inspired ideas. I must also do my homework. I must also do correctly to carry out a Holy Spirit given idea. So we need to learn to do those things well. Okay. So I just want to share maybe a little, you know, a recent happening. Just to, you know, back up what I'm saying, and then we will continue next week on this. You know, so last year, 2020, from March onwards, here in India, we went into a lockdown because of the pandemic and there were a lot of things that had to, you know, we had to, as Thomas said, we had to rework and do things differently in terms of the ministry. Now, we started here in Bangalore to unlock, that means to come out sometime in November and government, the local government gave us permission to resume in-person services with small numbers. November of last year, so we started maybe before that some, you know, small slowly, you know, churches had a meeting once again. Then in the beginning of this year, then we were having in-person services because the cases had come down. We had decided that, hey, ABC will help other churches in the city restart because there were many churches who were not in a position to be able to restart, resume services because of the financial situation. So we allocated a certain amount of money and we gave it, you know, we received the invited pastors in Bangalore to submit requests and then we helped selected pastors to restart services. So that happened in January. And then by the time we came to March, again, there was a second wave and everything, again, there's a lockdown in Reimpost. So all the services stopped and it was a very difficult time. And it was a very difficult time all across India, you know, so all of us, different parts of India we know in the second wave was very, very challenging. So this was starting from, especially from April onwards. So in the month of May, you know, I just felt in my heart, said God, you know, we were receiving so much of news, so many families affected, so many pastors and churches affected, you know, all across the country. So in the month of May, I just felt, you know, hey, what should we be doing as a church? You know, because people, people's lives are being affected very, very bad in the second wave. We can't just sit quietly and, you know, wait for things to go. We should do something. So then I said, okay, let's call for a meeting of pastors in Bangalore, and let us discuss, you know, what can we do as a church to help other pastors or the churches. So we did an online meeting, Zoom. This was on the 5th of May, it was a Wednesday, and there were about 70 people on that call. Let me just open this open question, you know, what should we do as pastors, as leaders to help churches? So there were lots of ideas and discussion, and I think was really finalized in that meeting. It was about an hour or an hour and a half. So we said, okay, you know, we closed the call, we said, okay, good, thanks for sharing the ideas, we need to make a decision what we're going to do. So that day, you know, I started praying, I said, God, you know, we've heard all these ideas and things have been, you know, people have shared, but we didn't arrive at anything concrete. What should we do? And that night, I was praying, I said, God, what should we do? How should we go about it? So two questions, what to do? How to do it? What should the church do? How do we do it? And then at the same time in my mind, I was thinking, you know, we need to act quickly. You know, we don't have, you know, we don't have like three months to start the work. We should start it now because people are suffering now, churches are being affected now. And yet at the same time, we should do it carefully because money is needed. Money is required to help people. All these thoughts are going through. I was crying, it's basically looking to God. And the next morning, and there's another challenge, how do we do it in an honorable way? Because, you know, this is across churches. We have to respect the pastors. You know, we don't hurt anybody, offend anybody. It has to be done in a very, very honorable way so that all the pastors, you know, are blessed. So all these thoughts are going through. So when I woke up in the morning, I woke up with a very clear plan. You know, so things are very clear for me. This is what you need to do. There are six areas, but, you know, you go ahead, you take responsibility. APC take responsibility to do this work because we have the people, we have everything in place. We can do it very fast, rather than trying to put together an organization or an entity. And by the time we do that, a lot of time will be wasted. We have people, we can act immediately. But for us to do it, we need to get permission from the leaders in the city. And here's how we do it. So it's a very clear plan. So the next day, I wrote to eight of the leaders who attended the call, and I explained, this is the plan. There are six areas we're going to help people, which, you know, other NGOs will not be helping. There are, of course, a lot of NGOs who are doing the work, but they will not be helping pastors. They will not be helping churches, you know, so we as a body of Christ can help. But I want these eight leaders to give permission to us, APC, to execute the project on behalf of the body of Christ. And this is how we will do it, you know. So I shared it, and immediately, you know, the leaders responded saying, yeah, go ahead, please do it. So they gave permission, they gave their blessing, which was very important because we needed to do it in an honorable way. And we had no idea of how big the project would be, how much it would cost, we can't estimate, you know, so we just kept a certain amount of money. We kept aside 50 lakhs, that is, you know, 5 million, right, 5 million rupees, we kept it aside, and I said we will start with this amount. And then we, you know, we open it up to anybody in India. So to our surprise, you know, but then we had to get everything ready, you know, we had to get within one week, we got an online system ready. Back in software system ready so that people could submit applications. We needed to verify the applications, everything, the whole system we put in place within one week. So we had to work fast, our IT team were working, you know, over many hours that seven days. And on the 12th of May we launched the project. So within, you know, on the 5th of May was the first meeting, 6th we got permission from the other pastors within the remaining, you know, six, seven days we launched it. So when we launched the project, we had more than 8,000 requests came that came in from all across the country within two weeks. You know, so it was huge. And we didn't know how we were going to help everybody, but God provided, you know. And so in the end, you know, we, there was, you know, 3.77 crores of rupees that was given out to people to help people and be able to help as many as possible. But the point I want to, the reason I'm sharing this is to get this point across. There is a need, or there was a need, then there had to be God's idea. This is what you need to do. This is how to go about it. Do it in every honorable way. Then there was the practical side, which is execution to make it happen and faith in God to bring provision to help people. So in the pandemic, what can we do? This is what we did, you know, and so I'm sharing that with you because many times when you look at, you know, and when we translate this to urban church or urban ministry, you find a need or not just a need, but you will find many needs. But then very important is God, what do you want us to do? How do you want us to do it? So we had to ask God, and when God gives us the direction, then our responsibility to execute that well. You know, there's a lot of work, the practical side. You need people, you need systems, you need a lot of practical things that you need to put. And then when you execute it well, then you can really less many people. Right. So this is just a kind of a general idea of how we're going to go about learning about urban church planting and doing ministry in urban centers. There are needs. We need to understand the needs. We need to be aware of the needs. Then we need to go to God. God, what do you want us to do? How do you want us to do it? Then execute it well, the practical side to the practical things very well. Then the idea God gives will help serve people well. Is that okay? So I'm going to stop here. Any thoughts, any questions before we close in prayer for today? Thank you for sharing, Pastor. It's so encouraging. It's a wonderful work that I'm doing through you. I'm so encouraged. Thank you so much for sharing. God bless Thomas. Alright, so we will continue this next week. So Manu is asking what's the meaning of urban ministry. Urban means cities. Urban centers mean cities. Urban is different from rural. Rural is villages, small towns. Urban means cities, urban centers. So doing ministry in the city, doing ministry in the urban centers. That's what we are looking at. Alright, so let's close in prayer. I just want to request somebody to pray and ask God that as we do this course together, it will be helpful for all of us. We will get some new thoughts on how we can do ministry in the places where God has put us. Could somebody please pray for us as a class? Somebody? Dave? Somebody, good prayer. Father, we thank you Lord Jesus. We thank you that you have given us this opportunity once again, Lord Jesus, so that we can meet and learn from our pastor and from you and your spirit Lord Jesus. We thank you that as we learn from urban ministry Lord Jesus, help us to know all the practical way how we can ministry in the cities and how our ministry can do more perspective Lord Jesus so that we can draw more people to watch your Lord Jesus. Help each one of us Lord Jesus. Not only to understand Lord Jesus but help each one of us to apply within our ministry and in our life. Thank you Father for changing the way we think Lord Jesus so that we can think according to what you want us to think Lord Jesus and so that we can act on your behalf Lord Jesus. Thank you. And we bless you Lord God, we bless this time in the mighty name of Jesus we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. Thank you everyone for being on the class today. I'll look for this thing again soon, okay. God bless by now. Thank you also. God bless. Thank you so much. God bless you.
