 Right. Good morning everyone. Welcome to a new week and let's begin this time with the word of prayer. So maybe any one of us can please lead in prayer. Yes, go ahead. Father, we come to the throne of grace, Lord. Thank you for today as you have witnessed, Lord. Lord, as we are going to spend this time learning about your word, learning about your characteristics, Lord. Whatever we are going to learn from your word, Lord, and whatever the past is going to teach us, Lord, it should not be wasted, but it should be used for Kingdom expansion, Lord. Lord, not our will, but your will be done as it is in heaven, Lord. We thank you for each and everything and all the students and our respected teacher. In Jesus' name we pray and we ask everything. Amen. Amen. Amen. Thank you Sid. Alright, so it's been an interesting semester, right? We've been talking about the ministry of the evangelist and the ministry of the teacher. And so now we'll move into the ministry of the pastor. Now, this is the most common, I would say, common calling that a lot of us have, right? Most of them, most of us are called towards the pastoral calling. Now, before we start, is there anyone here? I know that John is already, you know, pastoring a church. Is there anyone else here who is, you know, taken up already serving in the role of a pastor? It could be youth pastor, children's church pastor, anything, right? You're serving in the pastoral role. Anyone else here? Anyone else? Okay. Alright, so we'll get into the pastor and we'll look at how Jesus was an example of the best greatest pastor that can ever be. There are a lot of Bible verses and, you know, before I begin, I want to encourage you to read the book, The Shepherd's Staff, right? It's a wonderful book and especially if you know that you're being called to be a pastor. The Shepherd's Staff is a wonderful, wonderful reading. I'm not sure if it's available on Amazon or Kindle, but you can look it up online. It's called The Shepherd's Staff. It's an old book, but it's got some wonderful material on, you know, how to lead a church and, you know, roles and responsibilities of a pastor. It's a wonderful read, right? So let's begin with the verses mentioned here. Matthew chapter 26 and verse 31. Go ahead. Any one of us can please read. Maybe someone else can turn to Hebrews 13 20 and one more person can open to 1 Peter 225 and 5 and 4 as well. Yes, go ahead. Matthew 26 and 31. Any one of us can read. Matthew chapter 26 verse 31. Then Jesus told them this very night. You will, you will all fall away on the account of me for a district and I will strike the shepherd and the sheep of the flock will be scattered. Thanks to you. Anyone can read Hebrews 11. Sorry, 13 20. Hebrews 13 and verse 20. Hebrews 13 verse 20. Hebrews chapter 13 and verses 20. May the God of peace who through the blood of the eternal covenant bought back from the dead, our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep. Thank you. Let's also read 1 Peter 225. 1 Peter 2 and 25. 1 Peter 2 and 25. For you were like sheep going astray, but now you have returned to the shepherd and overseer of our souls. Amen. Thank you so much. So look at these three verses, right? In all three verses, there's the mention of the shepherd and the sheep. Right? The Lord Jesus himself saying, when the shepherd is struck, the sheep will go away. Right? So referring to himself or the sheep will part away. And then in Hebrews, again, talking about the shepherd and the sheep. Right? 1 Peter again 225 talking about the shepherd and the sheep. So all through the New Testament, especially, we see that, you know, the word shepherd is used for the pastoral calling. Right? Somebody who oversees, somebody who takes care of, right? A shepherd is somebody who takes care of a sheep. Right? The Lord Jesus said, right? The good shepherd. Right? So all of these are allegories to the pastoral calling that the Lord Jesus is trying to portray to the believers. Right? Now, in the pastoral calling, we look at what the roles and responsibilities are. But let's look at the primary aspects of a pastor. Right? Primary aspects. Right? First one, the shepherd speaks. Now, what does it mean that the shepherd speaks? Is it that he preaches, teaches? What does it mean that a shepherd speaks? Basically, the shepherd speaks what he hears from God. Right? Now, the natural, I'm sure we've learned this in understanding the prophetic. When we receive a prophetic word, the prophetic word is a supernatural word that God is releasing that word into us. But we as human elements are using human abilities to, you know, to portray that message. Now, here's very important. As a shepherd, firstly, we must be able to hear from the sheep, from the shepherd. Right? From our main shepherd, from God himself. So as pastors, it's a very, very, very important aspect to hear from God and then minister to people. He speaks what he hears from God. Right? And we see that all through the life of the Lord Jesus Christ. What does the Lord do? Right? We saw plenty of examples. He will go out early in the morning and he begins to pray. And he seeks to do the will of God. Right? Remember in the Garden of Gethsemane? It is the only time where he says, Lord, if it's possible, let this cup pass away. But let not your will, but my, let not my will, but your will be done. What does it show? It just shows that as a shepherd, he's willing to align himself to God's will, alignment. Right? So, so now when we look around us, what is the, you know, what is the main aspect of a pastor? Is that he hears from God and speaks of what God says to him. Now, doesn't mean that, you know, I should only wait for a revelation from God's word. Only if God speaks to me through a dream or a prophetic word, only then I will speak. No. We thank God for the word of God. Right? And we know that the word of God is God speaking to us. So as a, as a pastor, primary responsibility is to spend time in God's word, spend time in God's presence and speak what God wants us to speak. Now, there are other responsibilities, but this is the primary number one responsibility of a pastor. Right? Secondly comes all the administration and, you know, all the other things. Primary, hear from God and to release what God wants his people or his sheep to hear. Two, the shepherd knows. Now, the Lord Jesus, we see that he, he is God himself. So he knows as, as a shepherd, he knows where to take us. Remember the David writes this beautiful sound, right? He says, you are the shepherd of my soul. I give you full control wherever you lead, I will follow. Be it in a quiet pasture or by a gentle stream, you are the shepherd of my soul. So he knows the Lord Jesus knows what is best for us. He knows what direction we are ought to take. He knows why we should take it, when we should take it and how we should take it. Now, how do I translate that into my life if I am, you know, called to be a pastor? Remember that we know that we can look to God's word, but this knowing and understanding comes over time. The more we spend time in God's presence, the more we minister to people. That's when we will, you know, learn to and develop this ability to minister God's word in the right way, to know how to handle people. And the Lord Jesus did that so beautifully, right? He knew how to handle people. Not everyone accepted him. Not everyone said, oh, wonderful Jesus come. No. There were challenges, there were difficulties, people accepted his message, people rejected his message. But through it all, he is all-knowing. Now, as a leader, if we are called in the pastoral calling, we know that we have certain limitations. We are not all-knowing, right? But what we can do, what we can be assured of is that God who is ministering to us, who is leading us, who has called us, he is all-knowing. And so we can come to a place by saying, God, there are certain things, you know, I don't know. Teach us, teach me how to lead your people, teach me how to, you know, minister to your people. And so as a shepherd, the Lord Jesus did it in a beautiful way. Have you ever wondered why Jesus chose 12 and almost all 12 of them were just random people? They were not people who are highly educated. Many of them were living in sin. Many of them, you know, were just regular people. But he knows how to choose and why to choose people. I'm sure we've heard of that saying, right? You know, he does not call the Lord God, does not choose the qualified, but he qualifies those who are chosen. Some tenders like that. So he knows. And we can translate that into our life as well. Now, especially if God is calling you to be in the pastoral role, it's a high, high responsibility, right? Now, it's not like we're putting fear into you, but it's a responsibility because there are people under your care. And what you and I do will impact the body of Christ, right? And so we must know, we must learn, learn from our mistakes and grow. Three, the shepherd leads. Now, I also want to encourage you to read this book, Spiritual Leadership by Oswald J. Sanders. I think I'm getting the name right. Oswald J. Sanders by Spiritual Leadership. Let me just put that. It's a powerful book on leadership. I could be wrong with the name of the author, but I'm 90% sure it's this. Oswald J. Sanders, the wonderful book, and it talks about spiritual leadership and the qualities of a leader. I'm sure there's a lot of material online as well, but as a shepherd, the Lord Jesus led his people. He was able to take these 12, train them in such a way. He led them wherever he went, they saw his ministry, they saw his life, right? And as a leader, he exemplified the qualities of leadership, right? And whenever he went, and when you see that when Jesus resurrected, he died resurrected, he went back to heaven. You see that leadership mantle being just passed on, right? And there was this sense of leadership happening around already in the Church of Jerusalem. Now, how did it come by? As a shepherd, he led his people. He told them, do this. He encouraged them, right? He said, do this, don't do this, do this, right? And when you look at Matthew, and there are many, many, many examples, right? The parables, the kingdom parables, we saw all of that. And we saw that, you know, how he taught his people, he led by example, right? He led the people by example. And this is very, very important, right? As pastors, we had to lead by example. You cannot afford to tell people what to do, and we ourselves don't do it, right? So the shepherd leads, and if God is called each one of us to be in this role of a pastor, we may not have the leadership abilities. Okay, let me give you these examples, right? There are two things in leadership. One is some people are born with leadership. Leadership skills, they're born with it. Two, some people, you know, learn it, develop it, and grow in it, and they become good leaders. There are some people who are born leaders, right? And you can, you'll recognize them, right? This is also a beautiful series by Miles Monroe on leadership. I think his material, the sermon series is available on Lyon as well. And I'm not sure if I've given this example, but he talks about the lion being the king of the jungle, right? And he talks about, you know, why the lion is the king of the jungle. It's beautiful, you must listen to it, right? And the Lord God, he identifies with the lion, and in the bird kingdom, he identifies with the eagle, which is the king of the bird kingdom, right? And he talks about what leadership is. You know, the lion knows that it's not the strongest animal, but it's born with that leadership instinct. So it knows, okay, I'm the leader, right? And the others are intimidated. The other animals, which are bigger and stronger, are intimidated with the lion, even though they know that they can defeat or, you know, kill the lion. The lion's attitude is that of, I'm a leader, right? So I encourage you to go and listen to this sermon series on leadership. So as a shepherd, we have to lead our people. Lead them to what? A couple of things. One, lead them to Christlikeness, right? As a leader, the great apostle Paul, he says to the Corinthian church, he says, I've been feeding you with milk, but now is the time. You're supposed to be eating spiritual food, right? That will make you mature in Christ, right? And as a leader, we need to raise up other leaders into the image of Christ. Two, raise leaders to build God's kingdom, right? Three, raise leaders with integrity, honor, walking in the ways of God, right? And four, leaders who will continue the work of the ministry, which God has called them for. And there are plenty of reasons why we have to raise other leaders. Now, the best thing is that the Lord Jesus raised up leaders. He knew that even he, the Lord Jesus being God, could not fulfill a task alone, right? He didn't want to do it alone. He could have done it alone, but he didn't want to do it alone, right? The Lord Jesus shows people to work alongside with Him and he raised up these leaders for the work of the ministry, right? And so, first one was the shepherd speaks. He speaks of what he hears from God. He ministers to his people too. The shepherd knows. And three, the shepherd leads, right? So, leadership is something that we must develop for the upcoming generation. You know, there's many, many books that I've read and, you know, I was reading this book on church and church growth and how there was this one church in the West. This happened in the West. That, you know, it started off really well. They had a good church. They had about a thousand-odd people. Within a quick number of years, they had a thousand-odd people. But the problem was they were not able to raise up leaders, right? And because of that, the work just stagnated, right? It just remained on that. There was no expansion. There was no growth. And I'm not talking only about numbers, but I'm also talking about the ministry as such, right? Reaching out to different audiences and different levels and different mountains around us. There were seven spheres of influence. It wasn't, they weren't able to do that. And then the article says how, you know, the pastoral team were, you know, looking at this whole thing and they realized that the whole problem was because they put the whole matter on themselves rather than raising up leaders for the next generation, right? And so, thankfully, God used them now, you know, convicted them, corrected them, and they were able to raise up other leaders, right? So the shepherd leads. He leads us, and we as shepherds of God's kingdom are to lead other people, raising up other leaders as well. For the shepherd sacrifices for the sheep. And the word sacrifice is used all through the Old Testament into the New Testament, right? The shepherd sacrifices for his sheep. There will be times. Now, the word sacrifice does not mean only in a material way or a physical way. It also relates to the spiritual aspect, right? The shepherd is willing to let go of certain responsibilities or certain rights that he has for the sake of the shepherd, for the sheep, sorry. Now, the best example is in 1 Corinthians. I think it's 1 Corinthians 9. Yeah, 1 Corinthians 9, right? So Paul is giving this whole list to the Corinthian church and he's saying, okay, now I have, because they were talking about his apostleship, they were questioning his apostleship and an apostle Paul answers that. He says to them, listen, I came into Corinth. I started the church, right? I birthed you into the ministry, into God's kingdom, right? But as an apostle, I have certain rights, right? Because as a spiritual, if you read that whole chapter, you'll understand what he's getting at. As a spiritual leader, as an apostle of Christ, I have certain rights because I birth you into Christ, right? I can ask for, you know, material needs. I can ask for, you know, other financial aid. I can ask for anything. I can ask for it, right? Because I have a right, but you see, I did not do that. I did not use my right as an apostle, just so that you can see from my life the sacrifices that I'm making. And he goes on to say, even now I work with my own hands providing for my own needs, yet I still do sacrifice for the, you know, he writes down the perils and the difficulties he went through. All of these difficulties I went through, it's not because I've become, you know, I want people to know me. He gives that whole list. I was shipwrecked, I was beaten. I was hit with, beaten with rods and put into prison. I've stayed without food. He says all of that was not so that, you know, I become famous or just so that, you know, people will get to know me. It was a sacrifice for each one of you for the sake of the gospel. Now, as pastors and as ministers of God who are leading a congregation, there will need to be a certain amount of sacrifice. It has to be there, right? Now, why is sacrifice needed? Only then, when there is a sacrifice, we can see the commitment that we have to God's people. It could be sacrifice of, you know, sleep, sacrificing of, you know, spending time with, you know, in holidays, especially, you know, Christmas time. This is relating to all of us during the time that we are in now. Christmas time, everyone are enjoying. We'll be out there, you know, probably doing some outreach. Of course, it's fun. It's good. We enjoy it. We like to do it, but it's also a sacrifice, right? We'll have to sacrifice others for others time. We have to sacrifice our time. You have to sacrifice for people, be available for people. And it's part of the ministry. It's part of being a pastor, right? And some of the things that, you know, initially I thought, you know, the pastor is nice, the pastor goes on Sunday, preach and come back home. But it's far, far from the truth. Really, it's a place of just a lot of sacrifices. You have to be willing to take those sacrifices. You know, the Lord Jesus himself, he did so much. He sacrificed. He sacrificed so much of, you know, he could have just sat and done nothing. And then when he was 32 or 33, he could have just started, done a small ministry and then got, you know, got crucified and everything would have been okay. There was a lot of sacrifice. The pastoral calling calls for that. I remember I was preparing a couple of documents and it was just not coming through, right? It was just not coming through. The material didn't look good. It didn't sound good. Now, I knew that I have to do something that is really good material because it's not about just doing something, but it's about seeing whether it's going to benefit the sheep, benefit the congregation, right? So the moment I do something just for my sake, okay, I've done it as a task, you know, I may not be able to, there may not be a sacrifice involved there. I love what David says. We bring a sacrifice of praise unto the house of the Lord, right? What is it when we praise God? Why is it a sacrifice? Because even when our weakest, saddest moments, when we praise God, it's a sacrifice unto God, right? So as believers, as ministers of God, we must be willing to sacrifice. It could be you'll have to ride 30 kilometers to just visit two people. You'll have to do it. Of course, in your own time, in your own schedule. If it involves traveling to another place and meeting a person, as far as we can, we do it because it's sacrifice, right? In terms of serving in the church, do it because it's a sacrifice unto God, right? And so we must, especially in a generation that we are in where things are, you know, I would say everything is easy, right? It's easy right now. Nowadays when you look at it, it's easy to start a church. This started church, people will come, right? Just do a couple of ministries, start a Bible study. People will come, right? God will build his church, that's true. But the onus or the whole aspect of being fruitful in the ministry depends on us. How much are we willing to sacrifice, right? Now, I want to be careful by saying this also. Many a times pastors have sacrificed too much in the sense that they've, you know, they've not spent enough time with family. They've not spent enough time with their children. And it turned out negative on them, right? I know of many, many pastors, children who have, you know, I've asked them, hey, your dad has been a pastor for 30 years. Why is it that you, what made you go away from God? Why is it that you don't believe in God? And, you know, you grew up in the church, led in the children's church. And nine out of 10 times the answer is, my dad was not there for me. Or my mom, dad and mom were not there for me. They would leave me and they would go for their Bible studies and house visits and all of that. And they were not there. So all I could see was they were looking after all other things other than me. So when it comes to sacrifices, we must make sure that we are sacrificing the right thing for the right people. So there can also be times you'll have to sacrifice things in the ministry for your family, right? It's okay to do that. The Lord Jesus, he sacrificed, right? What did he do? There was the harvest was planned. He said the harvest is plenty, laborers are few. But he didn't go and say, okay, we'll go everywhere. No, Jesus said, you know, you're all tired now. Let's take a break. Let's go. Let's go into the mountainside. Let's just spend time together, 12 of us, 12, 13 of us, just being with the disciples. Why? Because he wanted to spend time with them, the relationship. And so it's so beautiful. Everything that the Lord Jesus did, there was a reason for it, right? So especially when we get into this pastoral road, it's good when we are able to sacrifice. But we must also be aware because the enemy can use that as a tactic to bring destruction in the family. I know of another very good friend of mine. It's very sad for me to tell the story. His father is a pastor and they have a house. And right next to the house, they have a small, I think it was about a 70, 80-seater hall, which they have built. And their father went through very difficult times growing up. And he would go on his cycle and give out tracks and villages and towns and wherever there was a need, he would go. And he did a very, very wonderful ministry. But growing up, this boy, he happened to come. He was part of our church, not ABC, but when I was growing up in another church. And we were good friends. So he would come to church. He would be there for every event and programs he would serve in the church. But he would always tell me, you know, he was into bad habits and all of that. But I would always kind of wonder, you know, why is this? I mean, see, I'm not a pastor's son, so it's okay, right? But he's a pastor's son. Why was making him do this when he knows? And the more I got to know him, the more I got to know that there's an emptiness in his heart. It's a loneliness. Because their parents were very, very good in ministry. They were very good in youth ministry, especially, right? Talking to drug addicts, people going through suicidal tendencies, people going through oppression, depression and all of these, you know, counseling kind of cases. So they were very good at it. Very fruitful in the ministry. But this, this, my friend, young man, young boy, he, he just turned. And up to now he just does not like, he loves his parents. He's the only son. He loves his parents, but he does not like anything to do with church. Right? He doesn't like it. And his father and mother are feeling very sad, very upset. And so I remember one day just talking in front of them and, you know, my friend asked front of his parents and I was there. He said, how many times have we gone out on a vacation? He asked his parents, now he's about 23 years old, 23, 24. This happened quite a few years back. He asked his parents, front of me, how many times have you taken me out for a vacation? The answer was almost, it was zero. Never taken them out. The only time they had gone out was probably in one of those youth camps or church camp. They had gone out. That is the only time. So he said, you all didn't spend time with me. And he was open about it. He was not. And it was a very sad situation. Right? Now you can't go back and undo things. And this pastor served God faithfully. Yet, you know, he's, he's been so sad right now. Sacrifices must be done in the right way with, you know, keeping in mind what is priority. Right? Four. Oh, that's five. The shepherd cares and protects the sheep. And we see that beautifully exemplified in the lost sheep, parable of the lost sheep, right? He cares and he protects the sheep. The shepherd leaves the 99, go in a safe place. He goes, he finds that sheep and brings it back. As a shepherd, we must care and protect our people. How can we care for our people? Now in a church, you will have different people in the congregation going through different problems. And when they come to you for prayer, you must really be burdened. You must really care for them. Right? You must say, you must be willing to spend that extra time with them. For example, if somebody comes and says, you know, my son is going through suicidal tendencies. Now it's a serious case. You need to care for them. You need to be with them. You need to, you know, minister to them. And it's a very difficult season. Right? Now care is something that comes from within. It's not from outside. Right? It's not a showing care. Just I want to show that I care. No, it's from within to come from within. Right? And we must protect our sheep. Now, especially in a time that we are living in now, you know, there's so much of material that is available online. There's so much of, you know, different kinds of ministry, so much of good teaching, but even false doctrines, false teachings that are happening around. Now, as a pastor, we must be willing to come to a place and where we, you know, protect our church folks from things that are not of God. Right? If we feel that, okay, this is something that is not in line with the word of God, we share it with them. Now, another important thing, don't use that, you know, on the pulpit. Right now, this is a problem again. Right? Now, a lot of times people, you know, we call it advertising free advertisement, talking about other, you know, ministries, everything, you know, what they are doing wrong, what the other person doing that's free advertisement. Let's not use the pulpit time for all these other matters. But there will be times, for example, Bible studies, life groups, you know, where we are supposed to, we are called to protect our folks, protect our sheep from the works of the enemy. Right? It could be through false teachings, it could be through people, it could be through the, any kind of sickness, disease, we are called to pray and protect them. Right? Now, we do it with care. We do it with burden in our heart. Right? And the shepherd gathers the sheep. This whole thing of gathering the sheep together calls for fellowship. Right? When you look at the shepherd, you know, the sheep are all over the place, and then he calls them and they all come together to the shepherd calls for fellowship. As a shepherd, we are to build this whole aspect of fellowship, right? Fellowship within the church. It's something that we must do, right? Raise up leaders and build that feeling or that the spirit of fellowship within the church. And that's important, right? He gathers the sheep together. Now, this is also within the church fellowship and also from outside we are to, we are called to bring in people from different places, get them into the church, get them involved in the church and let them experience God in their lives. So, the shepherd gathers the sheep. Let's read that Mark 6, 34. Mark 6 and verse 34. Yes, any one of us can read Mark 6, 34. Mark 6, verse 34. When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So, he began teaching them many things. Yeah. So, thank you, Japhina. So, it says that they were like sheep without a shepherd. Right? He had compassion on them. And we see that the Lord Jesus did all of this. And so, even as we, you know, in the ministry, if we are called to be pastors, there are a lot more roles and responsibilities, which are important. But these are some aspects that we must firstly look into. Right? Let's look at the shepherd in the Old Testament. There's quite a few verses there, but let's read Jeremiah 3, 15 and 23, 4. Again, just pointing to the aspect or the role of a shepherd. Jeremiah 3 and verse 15. Yes, any one of us can read. Jeremiah 3, 15. Then I will give you shepherd after my own heart who will lead you with knowledge and understanding. Yes. Jeremiah 23 and verse 4. Jeremiah 23 and verse 4. I will place shepherds over them who will tend them and they will no longer be afraid or terrified, nor will any beam declare the Lord. Amen. Thank you, Sid. So, it's wonderful to see this, right? Again, God's promises of raising up a shepherd to Jeremiah during a time when the fall of, you know, Babylon is going to come. The fall of Israel is going to happen any time. And he's saying, I will give you a shepherd, a shepherd who will do all of that, what we've been talking about. No longer will they be afraid, but they will, you know, this is all pointing to Christ. But what we can do is apply it to ourselves as well as shepherds. We are to have these attributes. Let's read the last one. Ezekiel 34. I know it's a whole chapter, but let's see what it just read a couple of verses probably. Shepherds and sheep, the whole, okay, it's a long, it's a long big chapter. But let me give you a gist of what is this, right? It only, the whole thing is, the whole chapter, though, in an essence is the shepherd is accountable to the flock. Right? The shepherd is accountable for the flock to the flock and for the flock. So as shepherds, it's a very big responsibility. We are accountable to the Lord for the flock, for the sheep that he has entrusted in our hands. And the more we, you know, walk in integrity, walk in the Word of God, sacrifice, care, have compassion for our sheep, the more we will be able to be fruitful shepherds in the kingdom of God. Right? So we'll stop here. Let's just close in prayer. What I want to do is this next class, we will not have class. You can go ahead and just read probably, if you can, read spiritual leadership or Miles Monroe, just read on leadership. Just continue to gather more information and learn more. I want to apologize because I haven't been able to post the midterm assessment, but I will do that today. So you can go on the stream and finish your midterm assessment as well. So is that okay? Right? We'll not have the next class. I will pick up from next week. So just use this next hour just to study and to learn, probably read anything that you'd like to regarding leadership. All right. Let's just close in prayer. Maybe one of us can please close. Zellie, would you like to close in prayer, please? Yes, Pastor. Let's pray. Father will come before I presence in the name of Jesus. We want to thank you so much for this wonderful session. We had learned about the pastoral minister, Lord. Help us, Lord. As you are a good shepherd, Lord, help us to help us and teach us, Lord, and continue on to minister to us. We pray that, Lord, you bless a pastor and bless each one of us, Lord. We thank you. We bless you. We honor you, Lord. In Jesus' name. Amen. Amen. Thank you, everyone. Thank you so much. Have a great week ahead. I'll see you next week. Bye. Bye.
