 Okay. Yeah. Good morning. Welcome everybody. Thank you for joining this week. I know it is the holy week and maybe some of our students for some reason they're unable to connect, but thank you for joining in. We will pray and we will once again get into our study about the apostolic. So either one at the Tarun or Abhishek, could you please lead in prayer? Anyone? Father, thank you Lord. Thank you for this time where we could come together and study as we do this. We pray for your leading, supernatural understanding of what we are listening to. Father, we pray that you speak through Pastor Nancy as we spend this hour studying, Lord. We thank you and we ask this in Jesus name. Amen. Amen. Thank you. Thank you Tarun for praying. So far we have been trying to understand the features of the apostolic and understand how the apostolic will look in our modern or current times. And we have the features in mind now and therefore it will be easier to talk about how these can be applied through a local church, how this can be applied in a city, how it can be applied when it comes to discipling a nation. So that was the whole intention of us laying the scriptural foundation and then building on that and be able to recognize how the apostolic really looks as far as the church level is concerned, the city level is concerned, the national level is concerned. So today what I'm intending to do is to go over the remaining chapters in our in our portions here starting from chapter 5 all the way till chapter 10. So you know there we have discussed all the features and so I don't think I have to dwell too much on explaining each point that is written out in these chapters you already understand. So I just have to summarize each one of these chapters. So let me see if at all you know I can go over all the chapters today and if I can then this would be your last class and also just to inform all of us the assignments have already been posted and many of you would have noticed compared to last year I made it very simple. The first two assignments are in the form of a Google form. So there's not so much of writing, elaborate writing required. If you have understood the teaching so far, then it will be easy for you to just answer the questions. Many of them are in the form of multiple choice, true or false. The reason I did this is because I wanted your tests to be in sync with the e-learning portal students as well. So that is the reason but the third assignment it's more of a writing assignment because that also is something which is very important in the skill of being able to understand and explain. So the third assignment is a slightly lengthier one. Please take some time and again though it is about writing and sharing your understanding, it is not very tough and that's what I think. I've asked you two simple questions so you can definitely spend time, study further and answer those questions and we should be done with the assignments as well. Okay, so let's dive right into chapter five here. So this talks about the Apostolic Ministry and the local church. So basically what is shared here is the fact that as we see the Apostolic Anointing unfold, churches will look more like it's more of a team ministry. So we are familiar with a pastor establishing a local church and the church growing and becoming a large church and the pastor themselves being the prominent leader of that congregation. And similar churches start being established in the city and then there are lots of churches. So that is something that we are all familiar with. But when we talk about the Apostolic Ministry in and through the local church, it will look slightly different. What we will have is a model like the Antioch Church. The Antioch Church in Acts 11 is a church which was planted by some believers. When the leaders of Jerusalem hear about this church, they send certain people with certain caliber to the Antioch Church. So then you start having leaders who have come down from Jerusalem minister to the Antioch Church. So you have Barnabas and then Silas. All these people come and then they start to impart. You also have Paul. So they begin to impart. So they have teachers now in the church and so you would read the names of certain teachers in the Antioch Church and the ministry goes on in that way. But then you also begin to have prophets. So the five-fold ministry offices begin to take shape in the Antioch Church. So what is happening is, it is moving away from having one particular prominent leader and only that leader to having a team. So there is a team, a fully functional, you know, like a team which also has diversity in it. So you have somebody who is a prophet, someone who is a teacher, somebody who is an apostle. So you have that kind of a multifunctional, if you want to call it team, and they're all ministering to impart to the church. And as you keep looking at the Antioch Church from chapter 13, it becomes a sending out base because you have Paul and Barnabas who go out of Antioch to do the ministry and impact other places. So then this remains as a base church. They keep coming back to the Antioch Church. You know, they go on the missionary journey, they come back, they report to the believers and they continue to have believers who pray for them and, you know, sort of, excuse me, support them in the ministry. So that is the model. So when we talk about the local church becoming more apostolic, this is what we will see. We will see team ministry. We will also see the grooming, the rising of strong leaders, many strong leaders. We will see the people of the church stepping out on ministry. That also is something. So it's more of an outward focused church as compared to the usual church that we understand. You know a church where there's a lot of inward care, which is not wrong. We definitely need people to be cared for and people to be taught the word of God. But, you know, once as people are growing, there's a stretching that comes about in an apostolic church where people are encouraged to share what they have learned. People are encouraged to step out. If they are called to the ministries, which have to do with the four walls of the church, then yeah, they're teaching, they're preaching, they're prophesying, they're evangelizing, they're doing a lot of that. But if they're called as apostolic believers in other areas, then you would see them making an impact for the gospel in their professional lives. So you would have somebody who is part of politics, you know, making a difference for God, bringing, upholding the standards of God's word in things out there. So, you know, stuff like that. Or somebody who is in media, they are upholding God's standards in that field. Maybe you have, you know, great films with good morals in them, which blesses the society, which disciples the society, you know, and better standards and entertainment. So in these ways as well, you have more apostolic believers rise up from an apostolic church. So that would be the difference. What is the regular way of doing church? Preach, grow as a body, continue to teach God's people, impart to them. So that would be the normal way. But the apostolic way is to nurture the believers to maturity as well as missions. That is the difference between a regular way of doing church and the apostolic way of doing church. So what are we saying? We're saying that we will see more of such churches rising up. So are there such churches right now? Yes, there are many churches in, you know, many parts of the globe. And some notable names would be new frontiers. They have a movement like this where they have churches that they plant across the globe. And I think Calvary Chapel that also is a church movement and a set of churches that continue to plant many churches. So similarly, if you look up, there are several such churches even locally. I'm sure there are churches, but maybe it's not written about on the Internet, but the sense of stepping out, the sense of making an impact, the sense of, you know, working together as a multifunctional team. It is beginning to take shape because there is an anointing that God is pouring out on the body of Christ. And that's what we expect. So that would be an apostolic church. So again, notice that the pastoral leadership looks very different from an apostolic leadership. So what will apostles in the local church do? They will father the church. It's more than just growing the church. They will father the church. Reason being, we need to groom many leaders. And for that, fathering is required. So then, when they are fathering the church, there will be many leaders who will emerge. And therefore, you will have strong leadership in the local church. Remember, we talked about the strength of a local church. The strength of a local church is one of the important keys is strong leadership. And we have many strong leaders, we can expect the church to be a strong church. So an apostolic church will be a strong church because there will be lots of people who are well trained, well equipped with a vision, working together, strengthening the local body. So these are features of an apostolic church. Strong leadership. Then we will see governmental responsibility. Governmental responsibility is governing. We would have an emphasis on governing right, governing well. So apostolic churches usually have their policies in place. They have their way of doing things in order. And that is helpful because then you know what kind of leadership you're expecting. And also as the church, the churches multiply, there can be many churches that arise out of this one base church. And that's how the Antioch church was. The Antioch church was making a huge difference in the region. And people were going out of the Antioch church and doing their ministry. So eventually we can expect many new churches to be planted. So the missionaries that went out of Antioch church, Paul, Barnabas, what happened? They were preaching the gospel. There were new set of believers in other cities. And those groups of believers then became the new churches. So governing, I'm talking about government. How did they oversee these churches? They never left the churches. Once the believers, once there are believers in a new place, this is the feature, governmental responsibility. What is governmental responsibility? You know, you don't just let go. If you do a crusade and let's say a thousand people have accepted Christ, the apostolic will take responsibility. The apostolic will think, okay, how can we ensure that these believers continue to grow? They mature in God. They embrace their calling. They walk in their calling. They accomplish great things. So that is the apostolic way of thinking. Just the evangelistic way of thinking could be. I'm not trying to put it down, but just for us to understand the difference. Okay, lots of people are saved. Wonderful. Let's do a crusade in another place. What happens to these thousand people who have already accepted Christ? So the apostolic way of thinking is, okay, they need churches now. Can we start a church or where can these thousand people go? Can we ensure in some way that their information is given out to good local churches in the city and they are planted in that church? How can we work with the pastors? You know, so the apostolic is looking at ensuring proper order. So there is governance in that sense. Now let's say that this particular group, apostolic group, they went, they preached, they did a crusade, a thousand people are born again and there are no local churches yet in that particular region. So most likely they will plant a church. Now once the church is planted, what happened? You know, Paul and Barnabas, they went on their trips. So they kept going to new cities and then they came back to these cities on their way back to Antioch because they want to make sure that the church is really growing. So this is governance. This is governmental authority. When something goes wrong, remember the whole circumcision issue, they just jumped into the issue and they rectified it. So this is governance to just have believers and, you know, let them go. That's not governance, but the apostolic is about governance. We want to make sure these churches are okay. They are doing things in line with God's word that believers are maturing. So you understand that is the difference. Just the pastoral way of doing things will not ensure all of this, but an apostolic way of doing things will ensure. And you need lots of people to be able to govern, you know, 10 churches, 20 churches, 50 churches, 100 churches. How are you going to govern? We need the principles in place. We need the processes in place. We need lots and lots of leaders. Okay, so that's how the apostolic will work. So apostolic will provide strong leadership, governmental responsibility. So now we have an idea of what that really means. Then doctrine is very important. And particularly when we are talking about multiplying, if the doctrine is not clear, what could happen? The danger is every offshoot is going its own way. We have 10 local churches and no clear doctrine. They are not established in the doctrine. We don't have a way of having the doctrine put down, maybe written or it's recorded. There's no clarity. So eventually, you know, how do you ensure that everyone is learning God's word rightly? It's difficult. It's very, very difficult. But this is a feature of the apostolic doctrine is important. So the apostolic leader will make sure that the doctrine is taught rightly and it continues to be taught rightly. So whatever it takes for that to happen. And thankfully, you know, we live in a day and an age where we have media, we have website, we have, you know, YouTube, we have so many things Google Drive. The transfer of information, the creation of content, it's just at an incredible speed. You know, it's going on and from what we hear about knowledge, it's multiplying. Initially, earlier it was multiplying, you know, every whatever 50 years, every 10 years, every five years. Now it's multiplying every year, every minute. You see that the amount of content that is created that goes up that can be recorded is it's just amazing. So all the more we can function well in the apostolic in the day and time that we live in right now. So what will the apostolic do? Establish doctrine, call out if someone is going away, string away from the doctrine. And you know, we have all this communication zoom and Google Classroom, we can meet. We have our outreach pastors call. Since the lockdown happened, we are having we have a call on which we we not just have teaching, but we also have a time of interaction sharing. So they share what's going on. It's so much easier to keep in touch now than ever before. So governance, responsibility doctrine. So the apostolic will move in that direction, then establish order within the local church. How do you establish order? One is doctrine. The other is the way the leadership is positioned and the way the church functions. We've learned so much about all of this in the house of God. So appointing leaders. And you notice this in the way Paul and Barnabas function, they appoint leaders. Even before Paul knows that he's going into Jerusalem, there's going to be trouble for him. He will be tried and then he will be he will even have to die for the gospel. He talks to the leaders of the Church of Ephesus, and you know, he shares his heart and you see his love for the leaders. So there are a set of leaders. They are well equipped, well trained and he talks to them about the dangers that could happen, what is expected of them. So there is an order and he tells them keep doing this. Come on, keep doing this. Do it well. He writes to Timothy, he tells him, okay, when you appoint leaders, you make sure that these are the qualities of the leaders. So you see, everything is handed down in such a proper and an organized way that the next set of leaders know exactly what to expect. Now, of course, you know, God does much more with every generation. So that the freedom for that is there. But the basics, the core, the, you know, the primary order is in place and the apostolic is one which will establish it within the local church. So there will be leaders, they will take care and all of that. Okay, so it will establish an order, then develop new wine skin, God's order and structure for the local church. It simply means a better way, a better way of doing things. When we talked about the kingdom of God, the house of God, we said that the content doesn't change. Our content is always the word of God and, you know, our message is always Jesus, our method is always in the power of the Holy Spirit. Now those are core elements which should not be touched or tampered with. So we understand that. But what is the new wine skin? New wine skin simply means a new way of doing church, a new way of sharing the gospel. So if you just go back to the way church has been happening, you know, you will recognize once church was institutionalized, it was all way too formal. And, you know, there was laity, there was clergy, but as we saw, you know, God working in the body of Christ, there is a newer way. There started to be life groups or some people call them cell groups. This concept was in there earlier. But yeah, now people are open to that music in church earlier, maybe people felt that you shouldn't be using certain instruments. But people are more open now, you know, about, okay, fine, it's okay to sing in this way or to have these instruments. The church format, the way churches used to happen earlier, maybe now the newer churches, they understand you have a different crowd. Okay, let's limit the church service to let's say about an hour and a half or two hours and have it very structured where, you know, we have our announcements, we have time in the word, we have time in worship. So they plan it out. So what's happening? New wineskin, new ways of doing things. How does a church service feel now? Earlier, people were very restricted or it has to have a steeple and it has to, you know, have all that ancient stained glass paintings and things. But eventually people were like, hey, we can't afford it, but we have to do these church services. How about we just have it in a hall. And now people have auditoriums, you know, they have AC auditoriums. So new wineskin in various ways. You know, I don't think I'll be able to enlist everything to you, but just letting you know that things are being done differently now, which is okay. As long as we don't compromise on the core of what we believe and what, how we should do things. So the mission, we don't want to change that. The standards, we don't want to tamper with that. But the audience is, you know, the way the audience receives the message is changing. So, you know, people are more open, people are more open to a new way of doing church life groups. And you know, now recently I was hearing someone talk about teenagers and how their attention span is so short. Now, if the only way that we want to reach them is to tell them, hey, you got to be in church for an hour and a half and listen, listen, you know, give your attention. They may try, but you know, that might not be the most effective way. So someone was saying, hey, how about using gaming? How about using, you know, features like that because more interactive way of ministering to teenagers. So what are all the things that we can come up with new wineskin. So the church becoming open to different ways of doing the same thing, but doing it more effectively. So that, that is what we're seeing. So there'll be a new wineskin, but note that the apostolic will establish order and structure in the local church so that the important things are not meddled with. Then it'll help to pioneer new works outside, new works outside. So, you know, I think we get it by now. There are all these new fields. I just told about teenagers. Counseling. Counseling is another area. We live in a world particularly post COVID with newer mental issues, mental health issues. So why should we as the church not bring the kingdom to people who are going through issues like this. I know that at APC there is something going on with regard to mental health and, you know, counseling. So they're working on a new way of doing things and a new project. So why can't the church do that. That's pioneering and doing something new is pioneering breaking new ground. So the apostolic will lead us into new things. How about, you know, online Bible college and making it global. We, like when I joined APC as staff, I was only familiar with, you know, going into a class and teaching a class which is students from all over the country come and you should do it that way. So when this happened, you know, online Bible college happened. Eventually, initially we did it for our regular students. So we needed to complete their semester. So that was also comfortable because we knew we had, we were working with the same students. But when the new semester started, and Pastor announced he said, Hey, we're going to do this. We're going to open it up to the world. It was so scary. We were like, Oh, please, you know, we're feeling stretched. But that is the apostolic. It'll call you to new things. And it's exciting. But it can also be, you know, we have to adapt soon. We also have to have an open mind to doing things. And of course, it's going to be a lot of hard work. So the apostolic is like that will call us to pioneer new works outside. Isn't it enough that we're doing our local church processes here in Bangalore Sunday services are running well. We have member care, we keep in touch with our members. You know, we are thinking of new ways in which we can evangelize here in Bangalore city. That's local church. That's a pastoral way of doing things. But what is the apostolic doing beyond that, beyond that. Okay, we're sitting here. And midweek, here is a great chance to impart something globally. Who would have thought of that. But you see the apostolic anointing is like that it'll move us into various, various arenas to impact the global body of Christ. So when you look at an apostle or an apostolic leader or an apostolic church, the apostolic church will be concerned about the body of Christ. How can we get the word out there? How can we disciple people faster? How can we evangelize people faster? You know, so how can we equip faster? And what's going to come out of it? So you're thinking way beyond that, you know, maybe a hall that we have and a set of 100 believers whom we are pastoring, which is important, we will not neglect that. But at the same time, God is calling us to new things. God is calling us to pioneer great things for His kingdom and the options are many. The world out there is exciting. You know, so it's really, what can I say? I think exciting is the only word I can think of right now. So the apostolic is very, very exciting. Okay, so we can do so many new things for God. And it also, when you look back, you just wonder God in my own understanding, I could never have done it. But thank you. Thank you for giving me an open mind to try this. And, you know, there you are making a bigger difference and touching more lives for God's glory. So that is the apostolic church. And I think, you know, we have a very good idea now. I'll keep moving on. If at all you have a question, then you please stop me. Okay, now moving on to Apostolic Ministry and the city, how would it look similar, very similar to what I talked about right now. The apostolic leaders of the city have a heart for the city. Okay, so we would see that local churches will unite their if obviously they they're all separate as as local churches and an entity by themselves have their own call have their own direction vision the way they do things. So that will remain the same, but there will be a heart for the city. So the local leaders, the strong apostolic leaders, they sort of come together, they think together, they, you know, discuss together, they come up with some direction together. So, when we talk about impact on a city, unless this happens, a unity of hearts and apostolic leaders, it's very difficult. No, no one person can take the city, no one leader can take the city, no one local church can take the city. It's not going to happen. For a city wide impact, we need a city wide mission. And that can only happen when leaders unite their hearts and they decide to serve together. So there is a need for apostolic leaders in the city and unity of their hearts. Usually what do they do. So this is this is how it will look, they will, they will come together, firstly, and have a heart for the city, then they will also begin to bring unity among the pastors leaders, the mission, the missionaries, you know, the, the church organizations, so they will bring a sense of unity and not a sense of division, they'll just, you know, bring out a call and say, come on, we all need to get together, we all need to do something for the city, let's meet often, let's talk often, let's build relationships. So that is what the apostolic will do as far as making an impact on the city is concerned. So bringing unity among churches and ministries in the city. Also, the apostolic leaders who provide leadership, they will be more like fathers, or, yeah, fathers is the right word, fathers to the ministries, the leaders in the city. So what, what do they try to do, they try to nurture them, they try to stretch them, they try to, you know, bring them up higher, give them a vision, expand their vision and say, Oh, it's great that, you know, your ministry is doing well, it's great that your, your church is doing well. How about we all do something together for the city. And a wonderful time that personally for me which impacted me a lot is the COVID second wave when things were so bad and we would hear that NGOs and government organizations, they are doing something for the people who are suffering all around us. But there was one call and I don't remember the exact date but I think it was roughly a year ago, April and or may something, first week of May, we had this call where pastor was leading the call, Pastor Ashish and he had invited many leaders to join that call and I too was on that call. And you know, the pastors were discussing, they were deliberating, they were thinking about what can we do, how can we as churches as Christians as leaders, do something, do something for the people who are suffering and out of that came the, you know, after that pastor shared with us that the plan would be the COVID relief plan and you're all aware about it. And so he said, Okay, APC will head it. Now we will provide the support the manpower we will do the stuff. And you know the other local churches can contribute into it. So that's how the COVID relief project began and what a difference it made and even today, as I look back at those meetings, it was more than just, you know, it was more than just us working, because we were talking to pastors who are struggling. One particular pastor, he wrote his testimony and he shared how he had little children and one morning he woke up, there was no milk to give his children because churches were not meeting. So there was no way of an income for these pastors. So all that brought tears to our eyes and we were hearing testimonies like this as we were doing the COVID relief project and it really impacted me for one to see what can happen when God's people come together. So many people contributed and they were not even, you know, professionals, they were not even church folk as in they were not in the ministry, they were professional people, but you know, they contributed through finances, though they could not give that time and then there were, you know, churches that contributed APC made a huge contribution. But this is apostolic. Apostolic says, Let's work together. Let's make a difference. Let's make an impact. So it will draw the set of leaders to do new things, greater things. Think about city transformation. How can we have transformation in the city spiritually, morally, you know, in other ways? How can we bring about transformation? So the apostolic will work together with the leaders of the church and cause all these things to happen in the city. Okay, represent the body of Christ toward government or local civic authorities. So I don't know if y'all are aware that currently in our state Karnataka, there is this whole thing about the anti conversion bill, which is going to which is being, you know, it's going through its own process. But there have been many leaders who have come together and, you know, across denominations to discuss, Hey, what is going to be the impact of this bill? So what should the churches do? What should Christians do in the state of Karnataka? And, you know, that again shows that it's so important. No one local church can stand up, you know, for it for all the believers in the city. It's going to take all of us to work together. So the apostolic will encourage it will encourage unity. It will, it will want the body of believers to, you know, have a representation and this representation even with the government with the civic authorities and somebody to step up somebody to speak for or on behalf of the city by church. And so, you know, the apostolic will contribute into all of these things, then influencing governmental regulatory policies. So I just gave you an example and I think you can think of other examples, even locally you can think of examples from about, you know, from you where you are from and see how so far something like this could have happened and even going forward, you know, how leaders can impact government policies. Okay, the apostolic will also have greater access will have greater access to places and people of influence, and obviously, you know, when there is that kind of a connectedness, it's a lot easier to communicate with maybe government officials or some sort of movers and shakers in the field of media or sports, this and that, and it's easier to get things moving. So the apostolic will do that, causing movements at the grassroots level, which, which simply means, you know, all the activities that have to do with growth and increase, we would see that taking place and the apostolic will encourage that, then execute God's plans and purpose for the city have an impact for social reformation. So, do we have great examples of this right now? I think, you know, small examples here and there are already there and also like I feel personally that more people should write about it, because as I look for content, you know, not too many people write about city transformation, but I'm sure it's happening, it's happening and it's happening at different levels. The one example which I gave us earlier was through prayer. In Kali, South America, there was this transformation that took place because the citywide church came together in prayer. And you know, there were examples of how the crime rate came down. There was drug trafficking and murders, all of that is reduced in the city and there was greater unity among the churches. So just one small example, but you know, I'm sure that there are so many more that we must really be hearing about. Now, coming to impacting nations, the same thing, you just take it to the national level, so fathering, fathering leaders across nations. So with the apostolic, there are no boundaries. So it goes from being a citywide impact to a national impact to even a global impact. So I've always wondered when I joined APC, it's called All People's Church and World Outreach, APCWO. And I remember one of the first things I told a friend of mine is, it sounds very presumptuous to me to imagine that, you know, one local church, World Outreach or you know, two ambitious World Outreach back then. So I would always wonder what is this, why is the name, why shouldn't it just be All People's Church Bangalore, All People's Church World Outreach. That is the organization of course, local churches, All People's Church Bangalore. But then as being part of the church, I've been observing and the apostolic anointing, it's taking over, right? So there's so many things, then eventually the five branches of the church in Bangalore happened and at the same time simultaneously, the Outreach churches were planted and they were growing. And you know, various ministries of the church, missions, sending people on missions, Bible college and you know, now it's scaling up at another level. But what is all this, the apostolic? So as we go forward, we are going to see churches being led very differently. Not just pastoral leadership, which is good, which is more inward focus, but more apostolic leadership where you know, we even impact nations, you know, through being directed by the Holy Spirit. So fathering leaders across nations. Is it possible? I think it's more possible now than ever before. Thanks to all the technology that we have and the easier way of doing things, then birthing new movements. Again, through the Holy Spirit, through the anointing, through the opportunities that we have, very much possible across the globe, very much possible. Releasing new strategies for the body of Christ. So yeah, new way of doing things. I talked about that power to change campaign. I never heard about something like that. So power to change. You could look it up. There is this campaign where every nation, they choose cities and it's a strategic way, strategic way to share the gospel. So they pick a city and they do this major project, they prepare six months prior, one year prior, and then they take up like a month and throughout that month, there is like a multiple, in multiple ways, they share the gospel. So there are some books, they prepare, those books are given out with testimonies of notable people in that particular city. And, you know, all the churches of the, all the churches of the city are involved. The believers are, you know, trained to follow up with those who choose to read this book. And then people who commit their lives to Christ, there is some way of putting them, connecting them back to the local churches. So it's a strategy. Now, is it a perfect strategy? You know, we can talk all about it. We can talk about the loopholes and the shortfalls and all. But then you see, I think that's how it gets better. At least somebody had the courage to step out and do something new, which makes a larger impact. So we must not be scared when God gives us an idea or he's moving us in a new direction, giving us a new strategy. Just go with the Holy Spirit. It may seem very big, but God has all the details and we press into the ministry of the Spirit and we step out in these ways. And so we're really looking and as we are the times that we're living in now, we mustn't deny that we're so close. We're in the last of the last days and we're waiting for the return of our Lord Jesus Christ. And this is the time of the latter rain and the harvest. The Bible talks about it, the harvest of souls, a great and a mighty harvest of souls. This message of the kingdom, it will be preached across the world. Many will hear it and we have to find ways to reach people faster, more effectively and not just about sharing and forgetting about them. But the apostolic is about continuing to disciple them, nurture them. Isn't that the great commission? Make disciples of all nations, go into all the world, make disciples of all nations and God is releasing that anointing at this time. And I just encourage all of us, you know, pray, dream and say, you know, ask God, God stretch me and God has something for all of us to do. As this latter rain is being poured out or the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and the harvest is being brought into the kingdom of God before the Lord Jesus returns. So there will be a national impact. There will be opening up of new regions, territories, impact national governmental authorities for the kingdom of God, strengthen churches, network of churches across the globe. So I'm just going to stop here. We have really, you know, small chapters following, but let's not rush. We still have some more classes. So tomorrow there is no class, but next Thursday we will complete our portions for the apostolic. And if you have any questions, it'll be, we can have a good discussion as well. So I'm just going to stop here. Any thoughts, any comments, any questions? Okay. All right, then we'll just wrap up for today then. We have another class to go. And I'm really hoping that we'll have some discussion in that class before we complete our course. So yeah, your questions are out. Please work on them and you have sufficient time to, you know, hand in your assignments as well. All right, let's, let's pray and close anybody who is able to pray from where you are. You could pray please. I think saying anybody doesn't work. So Christopher, are you comfortable to pray? Okay, I'm not sure he's hearing me. Okay, I'll just check with Beth if at all she can pray that would be nice. Yeah, if not, I'll come back to you. Okay, maybe, maybe side. There's some difficulty. Okay, fine. Kennedy, please go ahead. Hello Jehovah. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for the crew that we've learned. Thank you for everything that we've shared as a family and as a team. It's my prayer that we're going to give us the knowledge, the spirit of knowledge, wisdom to implement Jehovah. Thank you. I commit everybody into thy hands Jehovah as we, as we head towards the end of our classes. It's my prayer. All is going to be well with us. I commit our teacher, Madam Nancy, into thy hands Jehovah to bless her work, bless her and give her more knowledge and more courage. Do whatever she's doing all under taking Jehovah. I commit everybody into thy hands, hoping that all is going to be well in the mighty name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. Amen. Amen. Thank you. Thank you, Kennedy. Thank you everyone for connecting.
