 Good evening, everyone, and welcome to the 2018 Ambassador Program kickoff webinar. We are so excited that you've chosen to be a part of it this evening and that you're going to spend the next few minutes with this lovely panel that we've assembled. It is exciting. I think, for us in the office, it's always exciting for conferences, but to have something like the Ambassador Program be able to offer it to you people and have you just go with it. I think it's such a great response that we see such a great blessing to so many people, and yeah, we're really, really super psyched to be able to answer your questions and just make ourselves available to serve you throughout this entire process. So before we go any further, you know, I know so much of what we do is so reliant on God's grace, so why don't we start with prayer and just ask the Lord to bless our time together. In the name of the Father and the Son, the Holy Spirit. Good and gracious God, through your Holy Spirit we've been brought to life in Christ. May your Holy Spirit work in our lives to sanctify us and unite us with you. May the Holy Spirit work in our lives so that we can witness your love and joy to others and bring other people, those that we love, those that we worship with, those in our community into a deeper relationship with Christ through the Holy Spirit. Jesus, you are the source of all grace. Your mercy never comes to an end, and we are grateful that you choose people like us to do the amazing work of building your kingdom. Bless everyone who's on this webinar tonight. Bless everyone out there who has it in their heart that they want to be an ambassador. Just equip and empower and strengthen them and give them a vision for the mission that you're calling them to go on. Lord, bless this time on this webinar. Let it be for your glory and let it be for the edification of everyone who's chosen to join us tonight. And we ask this on your most precious name, Jesus. Amen. Amen. Father, Son, Holy Spirit. Amen. Alrighty. Well, my name is John Boliv. I work for the Christian Army Office here at Franciscan University. I'm the director of marketing engagement, and I'm just really excited to be a part of this webinar. I'm also going to be the coach for all of the ambassadors who are bringing people to the Power and Purpose Conference in June of 2018. Yes, it's my first time doing it. My name is Colleen Criss. I'm from Bedford, Virginia. And I am the prayer ministry leader for the Holy Spirit prayer ministry in our church. And we brought a group of nine people the first year that we attended the Power and Purpose Conference, and most of them were people who had never been before. I had been before, so had my sister, so we were planning to go together, and then these other people joined us, and we had a phenomenal weekend and have come back every year for the last four years with more and more people each time. I'm also the mother of eight children, and my husband is a woodworker, and I'm a stay-at-home mom, and I home school as well. Thank you. And my name is Jordan Watwood. I have been a part of the Student Bill Conference team for a little more than three years. And right now I am focusing on a role of being an ambassador coach for the St. John Bosco Conference and the Priest Deacon Seminarians retreat. Hi guys, my name is Tim Wood. I've been working for the Student Bill Conferences for just over three years as well now. I do marketing for them, do a little bit of website and video work as well. And my role is here as an ambassador coach for the Applied Publical Studies Conference and the Defending the Faith Conference. Thanks, Tim. Thanks, Colleen. Thanks, Jordan. We are also hoping that within the next few minutes we'll be joined by Marjean Rivera, who is Colleen's partner in ministry, and a big reason why so many people have been blessed in the Bedford, Virginia area. So, like I said, we started this ambassador program a couple years ago. And with every year that's gone by, we've learned things. We've listened to people who've helped out. We've heard what works, what doesn't work. And we are excited once again to come into 2018 with some improvements to the program that we think will make it a better experience for everyone involved. We are getting a little bit more timely in producing the resources and getting them to use that you can build your groups. And we are just really blessed to be able to have the experience under the belt to be able to guide you to what we think will be a very blessed result. And so just in 2017, we had close to 30 ambassadors at all five of our conferences. And as a result, those 30 people brought hundreds of people, hundreds of people to our conferences who otherwise would not have had an encounter with the love of Christ. We create an environment where the phases is really proclaimed boldly, where there's moments for encounter throughout every conference. But we're one office in Ohio and to have a network of people who are willing to sacrifice their time and use their resources to reach up to their fellow parishioners, those that they worship with, those that they live in the community with, and ask them to come along on a conference weekend. It's such a blessing. And we would love to see this year have 100 ambassadors serving all five of our conferences. We'd love to see these 100 ambassadors bring over 2,000 people to our conferences. And we could throw out numbers all day long, but in the end, it's really not about numbers at all. It really is about the impact that these conferences have on the lives of the people who come. It's about the impact that being an ambassador has had on the lives of the people who've chosen to serve in that capacity. And to help us maybe understand how awesome being an ambassador can be, I'm going to have Colleen share with us kind of her story and what it's meant to her and the people that she served in the ambassador program. Okay, so let's see, where do we begin? The first year that we attended, the people who had never come before were so profoundly impacted, all of us, all nine of us, even though I had been before, I was too. And just witnessing that kind of powerful transformation that took place over just a short weekend, I mean, it's really two and a half days, but it's power packed. And so when I saw the power that it had, well, you just couldn't contain any of our excitement. I mean, that's just the truth of it. We came back from that Power and Purpose Weekend, that was 2014. And you couldn't shut us up. We couldn't stop talking, we just couldn't stop sharing and talking. And it was like people were just overwhelmed by our experience and wanted to know and be a part of what we had experienced. So that's kind of when Marjean and I, throughout the idea as a joke, we were just like, well, let's see if we can take a bus. Let's see if we can fill a bus, let's do it. So it was like our mission that whole year was to see if we could fill a bus. And we were just talking and sharing and telling our story, standing up in front of the church, giving ministry minutes, just anybody and everybody that would listen. And we did fill the bus and that was the beautiful thing. So then we realized, okay, wow, we just, the year before we had nine and then when we filled the bus that next year, it was 63. So it was a seven fold increase. And it was just from our sharing, our story. And I think that's the simplicity of it all, is that it doesn't have to be complicated. When you share from your heart and you're honest, people recognize that and they're drawn to it and they're drawn to joy, the joy that comes. It just comes from everything you do, everything you say. People need joy today. There's just such a lack of joy and when they see it in you, they wanna know how you got it and where you got it and you just tell them. So that was really all we did. It wasn't any kind of complicated program or any kind of technical plan. We just kind of shared our story and people were drawn to it. So in the last four years, we've brought close to 200 people with us. Which is, to me, amazing just because we're in such a small town. I mean, Bedford, Virginia is teeny tiny little speck in the middle of America. And it's like, how did we ever get that many people to agree to ride a bus with us all the way up to Steubenville? But it's like, I think, seeing each year. Each year is a blessing. I never get tired of it. Every year is a blessing. I've seen where it's kind of like this little pattern. It seems like on Friday, everybody's nervous. The people have never been before. They're kind of quiet. They ride the bus. They're a little reserved. They go into the field house that Friday night and they kind of got their arms crossed. And they're looking around. And they're seeing everybody standing and clapping and praising with their hands in the air. And they're thinking, why did I ever pay money to do this? And I just pray for them. I just pray because I'm like, you just wait. You just wait and be patient. On Saturday, they get to listen to the speakers. And the speakers are people who know what they're talking about. So they're learning. And they recognize that not everybody at this conference is crazy. By Saturday evening, you have the experience being countered with Jesus, that adoration, that is the climax of the weekend. It's so powerful. And people just pour their hearts out and they just cry and have that one-on-one time with the Lord. And I love it by Sunday. I love seeing the people who were so quiet and reserved and nervous on Friday are suddenly over there like this with the rest of us clapping and dancing and singing and enjoying. And then the bus ride home, you can't shut anybody up. Everybody wants to get on the microphone. Everybody wants to share what happened to them over the weekend. And the blessings, it's like the blessings that come. It's healings, it's conversions, it's encounters with Christ. It's the most beautiful, beautiful stories. And I wish, honestly, that we had written them down or had an account somewhere of the stories we've heard over the years. Because I'm like, you know, Lord, you can do amazing things in just a couple of days. So I don't know. That's, I mean, that's why we do it every year. I mean, yeah, it's a little bit of work. It's a little bit of work and it requires commitment. But it's nothing compared to the blessings that come from it. So worth it. Yeah, Marjean, how are you doing tonight? Everybody, it is my pleasure to be able to introduce Marjean and just only because she's an awesome person. And so full of the joy of the Lord. And so many great people close to Christ. Marjean, if you share, what has it meant to you to have been a part of the ambassador program? How has God blessed you and how have you seen God bless other people who come? I don't think we have that much time. Gosh, first of all, it will bring you to a different state of prayer. It will bring you to, oh, gosh, what has done amazing, amazing work. It really has. Colleen told you the basics of it. There was a lot more craziness involved. Ambassadors, get on it early. OK, call the hotel, reserve a block of rooms of like 10. OK, you may need more depending on how big your church is. Go ahead, because you know what? God's going to fill each and every one of those rooms. OK, then the next step is to get a bus. Call every bus company in the area. And when they give you the prices, don't get for it. Really, because they're going to say about three thousand dollars. But he goes, oh, my God, how can I do this? Just feel Colleen's little hand touch you and say, we'll just pray, we'll just pray. She did that to me for two years, trust me. It helps if you have a great partner like I do. But I have seen so many changes. As Colleen told you earlier, it started out as a Steubenville nine. Steubenville nine turned into 62. Then the next year it turned into 57 because there was a ballet conference or contest or something. I don't know. And then it went back up. It shot up to 72. So the Lord's at work, especially today. The Lord is at work and really, really. Guys, you have to trust him. You have to let go and you just have to trust him because he knows what he's doing. Okay. The seven that we originally took. One has now gone into becoming a brother in Texas. Okay. My husband, who you had told me this three years ago, I was told you were crazy. My husband is in the deaconate program right now. And it stands and flows down from the graces that happened at Steubenville. It's it's it's not the college. It's the people that you're with. It's the people that are allowed to join in that group. It's the electricity. It's the oh, it's the Holy Spirit just claiming up big time. Don't laugh at me, Tim. You have to realize that getting there is the first challenge that you have to do. You can reserve the bus. You can reserve the hotel. But the thing is you have to let people see you get excited. You have to I mean just climb on the roof if you have to because we just about did. I'm telling you. The the expression that people came back with the feeling in their heart that they came in with the feeling of love. Our prayer ministry has doubled. It's almost tripled. And like Colleen said, we live in a little town of maybe what? Colleen, six thousand thousand. It's amazing. But you know what? God, God is working. He is flaming the flame in the fumes around here because it is popping. I got from our little prayer ministry after we hit. First couple of times we go in a Steubenville. We started, you know, the nightly or the weekly prayer ministry from a wonderful, wonderful man who just happens to be calling his father. He got his phone with the charismatic prayer service. OK, and then he started talking and then this one started talking. The girl, the girl got a message, one of my girls got a message and she picked up a rock out at the seminar and the rock was square. OK, it had a little Indian on it. Like this. Sorry, never done this before. And what that told me was she was one of the cornerstones of our group. And I had told her that six months before you can't give up on me. I won't let you because you are one of the cornerstones of this group. And Steubenville, she found a rock and verified it. That rock now set up on her upon her little mantle somewhere. But God will drop pieces. He will drop breadcrumbs as you go, but you have to trust him. You have to open up your heart and say, well, you know, are you sure? Because I've done that several times too, guys, trust me. But he always he always takes care of it. He always takes care of it. I'm fighting with something. Well, I'm not fighting. It is it's going to happen. But there's something going on in my life. And the thing that all of my prayer partners told me was God wants you to let go and let him take care of it. Yeah, that's a challenge for me. But that's OK. That's OK. Because you know what? Through the seminars that we have attended lately. Ah, the calling. Tell you about the revival that we had because of Steubenville. Colleen, you tell him? No. No, he comes into prayer meeting one night. You guys have to hear this because it's totally crazy. Um, she comes into prayer ministry one night and she says, I had a vision. So OK, OK, tell us about it. The number 500 keeps coming into mind. And all of a sudden my red lights went off because I know Colleen and they're like, oh, OK, 500 is a good number. Big white cent comes into now. When's the last time you guys ever heard of a Catholic church having an old time revival? Well, we pulled it off. Three hundred and seventy five people showed up at that revival. Lights were changed. Conversions were made. The last trip that we took to Steubenville out of the seventy four, three have joined the Catholic Church because they were so touched and they realized that they were standing in the wrong area. OK, I'm not I'm not saying anything about any other churches. But you know what? There is one God. And when you study and when you read, the Holy Spirit will take your hand and will lead you. The biggest piece of advice I can give you is to approach us with an open heart. Pray, pray, pray, pray, allow the Holy Spirit to lead you because that that is what's going to fire you up. And if the Holy Spirit doesn't fire you up, I'm not sure what will because there's so many things that God is showing us right now. So Steubenville is the closest that I have found. That can feed me and excite me and get me fired up like I know I should be for the Lord. So it's called trust. Take that step. And reach. Take that step on blind faith. And prayer and follow him. Because you're not going to fall. You're not. You won't fall. Trust me. Amen. Thank you. You know, you know, I'm not calling it a margin out here because they I think that their faith and their passion for following the lead of God. And it was a step of faith, every step of the way for them to to to go from, you know, the seven or the nine to the 63 and now 72. And when I look at them, they're like my heroes because, you know, they're out of their their free time and sacrificing so much to make it happen. And they've become a blessing. And that's really the spiritual principle of why we have faith. You know, God blesses us that we can be a blessing in somebody else's life. And to fulfill that mission is one of the greatest joys in life and these and they're living it. You know, so now let me kind of having, I mean, I hope this was inspiring for you. And we're going to probably hear a little bit more from Colin and Margin, for sure. But I wanted to just to get a sense of who was on this call. If you look on your side panel, everybody who's up with us, it's now I'm talking not just to the people who are you can see, but everyone out there who's participating on the side. You have your go to webinar control panel and as you scroll down, you'll see a box that says questions and there's a little arrow next to the word questions. And on the other side, there's like this little square. If you click on that little square, it kind of separates the box from the control panel. And in it, you can type any question that you want and hit enter. And it'll pop up on my screen. It'll pop up on Adley's screen. I think it'll pop up on Tim's screen and we're just going to take time to answer questions for you after I kind of present a little bit. But before I do that, I would love for everyone who's on the webinar to open up that screen, just type in your name, what conference you plan on coming to in 2018, and whether or not, you know, for sure, you're going to be an ambassador. So if you just type Bill Smith from Pittsburgh, I'm coming to Defending the Faith. And yes, I want to be an ambassador or Janet Jones from Cincinnati. Coming into power and purpose, but I'm not sure I want to be an ambassador. I'm just trying to learn more. So if you would do that for me, everyone who's on there, so I can just get a sense of who we are. You want us to do it, too? No, we know who you are. We know where you're going. I know Pauline. I knew she was doing that. And I've got Katrina. Katrina, hi. Good that you're out here. I know you. Katrina, you worked in our office for years. She's very wonderful. She's coming as an ambassador for power and purpose. I've got Hannah coming from Minnesota as an ambassador. That's great. I got Tommy from the best of South Carolina. You know, and he's going to try to do, he's going to push all of their, all the conferences. And I, oh, I've got Charlie from Orlando. Charlie and I have been talking, they just hosted their own big local charismatic conference down in Orlando. And he's coming up this summer with, oh, let's just say at least a bus though, not Charlie. We'll go from there. And he's going to be an ambassador and get people to come. I've got Rocky from Columbus. He's likely like to be an ambassador. We got Nora. She's just come into ABS and possibly power and purpose and might come as an ambassador. Linda from Reno, Nevada. Wow, coming to ABS and defending the faith. Cause why not? They're back to back. And if you're coming all the way from Reno, I'll get you. Come on. And you've got at least 10 to 15 who are interested. Still up your head. Well, whatever we can do to help, Tim is your coach and he'll be there to get you whatever you need. And I got Trina from Berryville, Virginia. Is that far from you guys who are Berryville is? And she's not on purpose. And then John from Erie, he's going to defend the faith. He's considering it. Little concern. Hey, well, hopefully, John, with the information you get, you'll have a little, a little bit more confidence. Same with you and coming from Marblehead, Ohio, you know, hopefully after we get done talking about what it takes, it won't seem such like such a daunting task. And we've got Harvey from, and Harvey and Virginia, they're coming to Defending the Faith and they want to be ambassador. And your pastor's got your back on us. That's awesome. And you've been to the Defending the Faith conference 11 times. How's that? That's impressive. Jack's going to be coming to Power and Purpose in ABS. Sophie from Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, and you're just going to come down to Bosco and possibly be an ambassador. And Regina is from Hamilton, Ontario as well. Awesome. And then Sean from the Segartown PA coming to Power and Purpose. So yeah, Sean, I'm glad that you're coming back. You know, I know, like I said, like most people or hazel, you know, we'll, we'll make sure that we answer all your questions and hopefully we'll make this as easy as possible for you to take the leap in. So I want to thank everyone who's on here. And if anyone else is going to jump on, sometimes it happens, you know, just welcome. So let me answer a few basic questions. What does it mean to be a student real ambassador? Well, simply put, you decide that you're going to take the effort to work with people that you know, people that you worship with, people that you go to church with, people that you know, who could use something in their life to help jumpstart their faith. And you're going to be like our program says, an ambassador for Christ, because ultimately it's not about getting them so soon about conference. It's about getting them back into the arms of Jesus. And, and, and we can do that through the experience of the power and purpose conference. We can do that through the great worship and teaching that truly takes place at defending the faith at Bosco conference. There's a lot of great experiences and counters and just great time for fellowship and strengthening. So all of our conferences have this element of, of taking people, meeting them where they're at, but drawing them deep into that deeper relationship with Christ. And as an ambassador, what you would do is we haven't set up this year that you will basically communicate to people that you're interested in bringing what the conference is. And so we created a couple of tools to help you do that. The first is the ambassador toolkit. And that has got a lot of scripts and background stuff on how to ask and how to do this kind of stuff. But the new this year is the ambassador success plan. And really what it is, is just breaking down what seems like the elephant of being an ambassador into bite-sized chunks that you can do over the course of the next nine months to help you reach the goal that God puts on your heart. And of course, the first thing is to pray because God's going to want to do something probably bigger than you're wanting to, but he won't call you to it unless he's going to see you through it. So understand if you want to be an ambassador, God has a greater desire for you to be an ambassador and already has everything that you need waiting for you. All you have to do is step forward and say yes. But what do you do if you say yes? A couple of practical things. Number one, you have to enroll. And what it means to enroll as an ambassador is you're saying, look, I'm committed to bringing. I'm committed to coming to a conference and bringing in at least 10 other people with me. Because really what we're trying to do is help you create the nucleus of a community that can go back to your parish and your community and your family and act as a catalyst for ongoing conversion and bring other people in it, just like Colleen and Margin did. They had this amazing experience. This small group started sharing with other people the joy of the Lord, the joy of the gospel, the joy of the Holy Spirit. And people just are so attracted to that that this community grew and then the next year it just exploded. They brought like 63 people to the conference. So this is how it works. This is how the early church grew from 12 to thousands, almost overnight, as they lived out the joy of the gospel and lived in the love of Christ. People were just drawn in it. And as you know in many places, our parishes are operating as dispensaries of sacrament, but are they really communities of love and prayer? Even the ones that are could use an upgrade or it could use a revitalization. We always are seeking new outpourings of the Holy Spirit, new outpourings of grace that we can become the people that Christ created to be. So you would enroll as an ambassador. What happens when you enroll as an ambassador is that you're going to get access to our new ambassador page, which Tim is going to describe for us in a few minutes. You also be assigned either myself, Jordan or Tim to be your coach. So you're never alone on this journey. And you'll have our email, you'll have our phone number. We prefer you not call us at midnight in crisis mode, but if need be, Tim will pick up the phone. Don't pick up my phone, Paul. But any time that you need help or resources or you have any questions, we'll help you. So what you'll do is when registration opens for ambassadors at the end of October, so we're opening up registration for everyone as an ambassador a week before everybody else, so you can get in there and register. Because once you're registered and confirmed as an ambassador, this year what we're going to do, drumroll please, we're going to send you an exclusive link that you can share with everyone that you invite, that when they register, they'll automatically be assigned to your group. So you won't have to worry about calling in and saying, hey, then so and so put me down as the ambassador. If they register with the link that we send you and you keep doing that, sending that link and sharing that link, every time somebody registers that link, they're automatically going to be assigned to your group. That way we'll know exactly who's come with whose group we give you. If you call us up and say, hey, I've invited these five people to the register, we can look at everyone who registered under your link very quickly and say, no, they haven't registered under your link yet and you can give them a call, we want to help you track, we want to help you say, if you want to call and say, hi, how many people have actually registered under my group, we can give you that information and keep you motivated and keep you focused. So that's really cool. So you'll get your exclusive registration link, you start building your group. And it's all about what Marjean and Colin shared first. It's about sharing the joy that you have from knowing Christ and talking about the ability for other people to find that for themselves. You know, when you want to invite somebody and you are doing the first act of evangelization, I'm often brought back to the story of St. Andrew how when he met Christ, ran and found his brother and he didn't preach at him, he didn't like bombard him with all this. Look, I think I found the Messiah come with me and they just ran off together to find Jesus. And Peter had his own encounter with the Lord and Peter became the rock, St. Peter and our first pope. So who knows what will happen in the lives of people that you introduced to Christ through a stupid conference. As we've seen in the case of Marjean and Christ, there's vocations to being called forth. There's communities being revitalized. There's people coming into the church who weren't Catholic or are now Catholic because of their efforts. Do you see that this is so much bigger than student conferences? You know, that this is something that really has the potential to revolutionize parishes and communities and lives and hearts. So, you know, you'll register for the conference. After you're enrolled, you'll get your exclusive registration link. We're going to be able to send you little invite cards that say, basically, come with me to the 2018 Powered Purpose Conference. You'll just hand them out. And you can write your own name and phone number on the back of it. So, you can say, if you have any questions, call me. It has our web address on there, so they can go check out the conference online. We've created really cool promo videos for each one of our adult conferences that are going to be up on the website soon, including a Powered Purpose promo video that has calling in Marjean. Yeah, I wanted to say, you know, we got to get married. We're not paying you any extra for that, Marjean. No, that's the main thing, John, that you need to point out. They need to get excited. They need to show the excitement. They need to show the love. They need to show what the Holy Spirit is doing. Hey, how are you? Yeah, so this is the one that looks like for pre-steakings in seven areas, but we're going to have a car like this for every conference. And like I said, you can just write your own name and number on the back side and hand it out to everybody. And you'll have an opportunity at this webinar to request those resources from us. And we will then put them in the mail for you. We're going to have the order fulfilled. And then, so we'll have to send an order to the printers and kind of get an idea of how many we're going to need to print. Once we get them back from the printer, we'll put them in the mail and ship them out to everybody right away. We also have full-color flyers for each one of our adult conferences that you can use to send to the people. We're also going to have to help promote it a really cool design, artistic things that Allie who's on our team, she's kind of shy so she didn't want to be on camera tonight. But Allie is an extremely talented designer and she is designing like Facebook ads for you to use in your Facebook page. She's designing, you know, you're going to get, oh, what else, stuff for Instagram and all the different social media channels you might be on to help promote your being an ambassador to other people and inviting them. We've got some texts for emails. If you want to send an email through your church's database, we've already scripted out an email that you can just cut and paste. You can tweak it any way you want to make it as personal as you want. But we're giving you a rough draft of an email that you can send to people. We also have, you know, what else do we got? This is fantastic, guys. I know! We didn't want any of this. How come? Oh, and we got text for bulletins. So we'll be sending you text marketing your conference through your church's bulletin. So, you know, and your neighboring church's bulletin and maybe every church's bulletin within a 50 mile radius of your church, who knows? You can be as creative and as expensive as you want. But we've got a whole new set of tools that you have. You also get a regular call. And what we'll do is after this is over, we'll look at all the people who are enrolled as ambassadors. And everyone who's enrolled as an ambassador for the Power and Purpose Conference will get a call from me within the next couple of weeks. From Tim, if you're going to ABS and Defending the Faith. For Jordan, if you're going to priestee kins and seminaries or St. John Bosco Conference. And we'll just set up a rhythm to kind of check in because we want you to stay focused, encouraged, and excited about being an ambassador. Because we want you to taste and see the fruit of the success that comes when you put in the work and effort and put your faith in God and take these steps. But with all these resources, really, it still comes back down to you. Can you go forth in the joy of Jesus and share? Because once you start inviting people, when people start saying yes, they'll register. And the best part will come when you come to the summer and you get to see God working in their lives. But as a way of us showing our appreciation for you and to make it a little bit interesting, we've also decided that for every person, for every ambassador that registers by the first week of conferences and gets five people to register with them, every ambassador that does that is going to get a free book from our bookstore. And if you register another five people before Christmas, we've got a Christmas present for it. So, and we're also going to be doing some drawings on different webinars that we're doing and for people to win stuff. And because we want to make it fun for you as well. We know what you're looking at this and thinking, oh, this is such work. We want you to have a good time and exciting time doing this and really know that we got your back and we're loving you. We also have an exclusive t-shirt that we'll give to every ambassador this year. And Tim, show them what the t-shirt looks like. We might do a different color. I think we need to do a different color for 2018. And everyone's going to get one except for Colleen, so Marjean can say, hey, do you like my t-shirt? Do you like my t-shirt? Do you like my t-shirt? Oh, no. You're changing on this bear play. So, show them the back side. In the back side, we have our logo. Everyone who brings 10 people will get a t-shirt as well. But it doesn't end there because there is a time and effort. We also want to help any way we can. And so what we've decided to do this year is if you're an ambassador for every person that you bring as part of your group, we're going to give you a $20 gift, whether they've been before or not. You as an ambassador will get $20, a refund at the end of the conference season for everyone in your group. Now, there are some stipulations that we'll talk to you about individually offline. But the idea is if you were to bring 20 people with you, you would get a refund of $400, which would basically wipe out the cost of your conference. Housing, food, and registration would be covered. So if you build a group of 20, you're coming for free. And so we just want to make it as easy as possible for you to come and for you to feel like you're appreciated in all this because believe me, believe me when I say, there's nobody we appreciate more than the people who are calling and all the other margin and all the other ambassadors who work so hard to bring people. And even bringing 10 is a blessing. It's a blessing for those 10 people. It's a blessing for you. It's a blessing for us to be able to have that as part of our conferences because it would be awful if we had a conference and nobody showed up. So we're very, very grateful for the hard-working effort that you guys have put forth. So what else might I want to say? Guys, Tim, Jordan, do you guys have anything you want to add from your experience about what you see happening and what you want to share about the program? That way. You're on mute, Tim. I wasn't sure if Jordan was jumping a bit there. Yeah, one of the things that I think, Marginia Colleen alluded to is the importance of a team when you're doing this. A lot of the most successful ambassadors we've found is working with one other person, even two, three other people who are the core team, who are really there to help build that group early there to support one another, support one another in prayer, and also support one another in the practical things, in booking the bus or booking the hotels or whatever it might be. And when you have that team, you're really able to mobilize people and really expand your reach to a lot wider crowd. I really think that this ambassador program is about mobilizing others. So you personally are not going to have to invite 20 people, 30 people, 50 people. But you might invite 10 and then tell each of them, listen, why don't you guys all invite a friend? Bring one other person with you. And by that time, we'd double your group. You know, and with those people, now they bring a friend. You know, and it's very much just like this discipleship model of, you know, you tell someone and bring someone else along with you. And then they bring someone else along with them. And so, you know, really just working as a team and knowing that like it's not all on your shoulders. You know, you can solicit other people, solicit your best friends, your siblings, your mom, your aunt, your uncle, whoever it is to help you build this group. And the great thing about it is that we are also a part of that team. You know, we are here to bounce ideas off of. We're here to just talk on the phone. As Marjean, you know, has definitely taken advantage of that more than once, you know. That's part of why we're here. You know, we're really here to walk with you. I'm here to answer questions, guys. My recommendation would be that everybody gets a Marjean. I want every ambassador to get a Marjean. You need that in your life. I'm telling you, you can't do anything. Just to be clear that you can't have her Marjean. You have to get a different one. You can't have my Marjean. No, I'm sorry. Well, but if anybody has any questions or anything that they want to run by me, feel free to get ahold of the guys. They've got my email. They've got my telephone number. So, I'm here if you need me. Because it's so funny. It's so funny. Very dangerous. Yeah, I think that's awesome. We'll definitely be having Colleen and Marjean back on some future webinars about this. And that's the other thing that we're going to have for you guys who are on the ambassador team. We want to not just encourage you to do the work. We want to feed your soul. And so once a month, I'm going to be hosting along with some other guests that I'll be bringing on. A webinar designed to help you grow in your faith. You know, it's a simple thing where we just can come on and give support. Now, all of the stuff that I just mentioned, all the resources, all the tools, we're going to be able to get those to you. In fact, if you go over to, once again, go to your webinar control panel and you see the word handouts. There's a little arrow pointing at the word handouts. And if you click on that arrow pointing to the, for me it's the right, it drops down and you can see right there the ambassador success plan and the ambassador toolkit that you can download to your computer right from the webinar tonight. So everybody take a moment to download the ambassador success plan and the ambassador toolkit. You don't necessarily have to open it at this point, but I just want you to know you can take it with you when you leave. And you can begin reviewing the resources and materials that are in the updated success plan and toolkit. Just so you know, we don't cap the number of people that you can bring and we don't cap the number of $20 gifts that we'll refine you. So if you bring 50 people and Margie knows this and Colleen knows this, we're good to our word. And it's also, John can I just send her stuff there? It's also great to use it as financial aid for somebody in your group that you may not be able to financially make it. That's a great way to use it too. Yeah, and that's, you know, I was going to say the way that you guys have used that it's been very selfless and very once again using it to bless other people. So thank you for being such a great role model on how that works. Now, eventually all the things that I just mentioned will be available to be downloaded by the other thing that's new this year. And this is the other thing that you'll get when you enroll in the ambassador program, which is we're going to give you a password. And with that password, you're going to be able to access an exclusive page on our website just for ambassadors. And we're filling it with highlights, we're filling it with resources, we're filling it with prayer, we're filling it with encouragement, and it's full of all sorts of great, wonderful digital goodness. And to explain more about that, I'm going to hand it over to the man who's designing it and populating it with all this great stuff, Mr. Tim Wood. And I'm going to share his screen with you. So, if you see something pop up, you're like, what's going on? It's just Tim sharing a screen. All right, so like John said, we're going to have an ambassador, we're calling it the Ambassador Portal, where you're going to be able to access all of these resources. So if you can see it there on the screen, John, can you see it? It's coming in clear. I can see it, just fine, thanks. Okay, great. So I'm just going to walk you through just kind of give you a little lay of the land here. As John was saying, our goal is really to do two things. It's to provide you with resources and also to provide you with encouragement. And that encouragement is going to come through prayer, is going to come through sharing the glory stories, different things like that. So as you see, as we scroll down here, you're going to have just a kind of a welcome paragraph explaining what we're doing here. John talked about those steps for being an ambassador. And we have them listed right here on the page. So this is the process for being an ambassador. This is really how we're going to guide you down that path. And this is going to be your roadmap to success for being an ambassador, for building a group and bringing people to the student bill conferences. And then also really building those relationships with those people as well. This is some information that comes out of the Ambassador Success Plan, which you have there to download as well. As we continue to go down, we're going to have this section here, the Ambassador Updates. Right now I just have an example of a post here, just a welcome post. So what you'll be able to do is you'll be able to click here, continue reading. And you'll be able to come here to this blog and read all about what the portal does, different things like that. And it will have a link here that will go right back to the Ambassador Portal here. So we'll go back to this Update section. As we continue to scroll down, we're going to have an Ambassador Resource Section. So these are the two documents that you have for download currently that are attached to this webinar, the Ambassador Toolkit here, and the Ambassador Success Plan. This is also the section where we're going to have the flyers that'll be able to be downloaded for each conference, so that you can print those out as you will. Like John said, if you have a desire for us to print things, you don't have access to a color printer or different things like that or you want the invitation cards, we will be sending you an email or we'll send you the email address that you can send those requests to a little bit later on today. As you continue here, we have this Ambassador Connection Section. So Dr. Seuss there, Connection Section. So this part right here has two aspects to it. So one, we are always praying for you. We're always lifting up you and your loved ones, we're lifting up your ministry as ambassadors, just your personal life and your heart, and we're just always lifting them up during our weekly staff meetings. But what this allows for you to do is if you have specific requests that you could use in prayers for specific intentions, we'd love to hear those from you. Now one of the things that we are planning on doing with this as it says right here is that we're going to actually publish a weekly, if there's that many intentions, maybe every other week, basically summer your list of the intentions. And the goal of that is not to broadcast them, it's not to tell everyone in the world, but it's to let your fellow ambassadors know what can be prayed for, so that everyone who's an ambassador is really lifting up the other people who are ambassadors as well. If you want people to pray for you by name, you can put your name on it and we'll publish it with name. If you want it to remain anonymous, you just say anonymous prayer requests and we'll just put up there a special intention from one of our ambassadors and just write it out. So that, like you said, you might have a prayer request that you don't necessarily want to make it public, but you want to share it. We'll keep it anonymous at your discretion. And with that, this is only being published here on the Ambassador Portal, which you need a password to log into. So it's only ambassadors who are looking at this. And so really to be able to build that community around this ministry that we're involved with. The second thing is going to be a spot to enter glory stories. So this is really what we're having Marjene and Colleen share with us tonight. How has the Lord worked in your heart? How has the Lord worked in other people's hearts through your ministry as an ambassador? And what we'll do with these is it'll be a similar thing where as we get them in and as we have time to, we'll publish them on this Ambassador Portal for encouragement for other people. So really to be able to praise the Lord for what he's doing, to give him glory where it's due, and really to just encourage each other and call each other on to be committed to this and to really spread the love of Christ through this ministry. So we have those there. And then at the bottom here, we have the contact information. So it tells you, if you look for your conference, Power and Purpose is John, Priestine and Seminarians and St. John Bosporus is going to be Jordan. And then applied local studies and definitive faith will be me. And this is our email and phone numbers here that anytime that you meet us, you can feel free to contact us. And so we're going to be at your disposal there. So this is just a little sneak peek of what we have coming. You know, we're going to continue to, you know, as we talk with you and work with you, if there's more resources that you could use that would be helpful, we're going to do our best to develop those things as well and really continue to be up to date and really sensitive to what you need and what you guys are going through and really how we can help you to best serve those people in your parish and in your group. So that about sums it up for the ambassador portal there. And what we also will do in terms of communicating to that portal is we're also going to highlight the successes that people are having along the way. So if you have a great month and you enroll 10 ambassadors, we're going to highlight that and say congratulations to Katrina. She got 10 people signed up as part of her group this past week, you know, so we really want to, we really want to make this exciting for you not just work because it does take time and not a lot. No one's going to lie to you here and say, oh, this is so easy. It's the easiest thing you'll ever do. It's not going to stretch you at all. It's going to be comfortable. That would be a lie. I'd have to go to confession. Oftentimes push you out of your comfort zone but as I've been fond of telling people lately, if you're looking for the Lord's will in your life, don't look for it in your comfort zone because it's never there. God does not want to meet us in a place of comfort and ease. He wants to meet us where we're going to have to take a step of faith because that's when our faith will really grow. We're not going to ease our way into heaven like we ease our way into a lazy boy. You know, we're going to have to work at this and our job here on earth is to get to heaven and bring as many people as possible with us. So with that being said, I want to open it up right now for any questions. Somebody just asked, how do we get to this portal? Well, once you enroll as an ambassador we can enroll you tonight as part of this webinar. Once you enroll as an ambassador, we will send you the link and the password for you to have access to that. So that's coming. You know, in the meantime, we can get you access to all the all the other resources that we have so that you can check it out. So when you go to our website and you click be an ambassador, you'll see that you scroll down and you'll see that sign in for how you already enrolled as an ambassador. So we'll be going through the list of people who enroll and we'll be sending you the link and password and it's going to be it'll be an opportunity for people to access these resources. Somebody said, would it be possible to post on the portal thing things that work to attract parishioners? Yeah, some of that is in the toolkit. Some of that is in the success plan, but we're also going to be having two other webinars as part of our training coming up in October. And one of them is going to be how do we, how do you tell your own story to somebody so that you can share that joy of Jesus with other people? And the other is how can we speak in these conferences in the right way to make them attractive to people? So all the advertising and marketing resources, the handouts, the cards, everything else, the tax, the images for social media will all be on the portal and you'll have access to those so that you can share them with other people. But there's also going to be like promotional videos for each conference that you can share with people. They'll be on the individual conference site. So if you want a Power Purpose video, you go to the Power Purpose page on our website and you'll find what you need there. Yeah, one of the things that we might do and once you enroll as an ambassador, you get access to this portal page, we're going to encourage you to check the portal page often because another way that we might be able to share ideas is we may publish a blog that basically says, you know, this blog, you know, we want to talk about what are some of the best practices that people have found, you know, what's been working over the past couple of weeks that you want to share and what you can actually do is you can actually comment on that post and we'll be able to moderate those comments and kind of help to share those and, you know, really respond to different questions and things like that. So I think that that would be another great way when we pose those questions to go onto that blog and comment so that we can really share the ideas of what the best practices are for this. Yeah, yeah. So let me ask, would there be a way of finding out anyone else in the area that's interested in being an ambassador to work with them? You know, like, so somebody might, so I think this question is, I'm here, I want to be an ambassador, but I don't have that buddy, I don't have that person close to me. Is there any way of finding out if somebody's coming from the conference to a conference from an area that I could kind of meet and see if they want to do this together so that we can definitely look into that. We don't have anything automated that would allow us that without knowing who's coming yet for 2018. I couldn't really tell you who's definitely coming that you could reach out to. But, Sophie, what conference are you interested in attending? You just take a minute, type that in. Because whoever's going to be your coach will follow up with you and we'll look at, okay, so you're sitting in Bosporus if anything. Tim, I'll let you take the lead on following up with Sophie and answering that question for her. Yeah, so anyway, we'll do that. One woman is wanting to be an ambassador for two conferences. So double your pleasure, double your fun. And we will, she's having trouble with rolling that though. So, but here's what we're going to do to help everybody who wants to be on here. And then, yeah, so anyone who wants to sign up what am I trying to say? So we're going to have a way of helping you sign up at the end of the webinar. So don't worry about that. Is there a financial incentive for people signing up for your group? Okay, so the financial incentive for people being a part of the group is simple this year. It's $20 for everybody that you have new. That's the only incentive that we can offer this year in terms of people who you invite to be a part of your group. But if they've never been to a conference before and you invite them, they come along, when they register as part of your group, there's going to be a question asked. Do I have, is this your first time? Yes, they're going to get a $20 discount off the cost of their registration. We also have the early bird deadline, which doesn't have until April. But get it, everyone enrolled by April will ensure that not only the first time is get the $20 discount, but that everyone in your group will get the $25 early bird discount as well. So this is why we want to hit the ground running in October, get a bunch of people on, build your team, help you build your team, help you get a plan together that you can stick with and pray through and support one another through and build the group. And it would be a blessing to hit your goal by January and figure out, well, do we want to expand rather than worry about come April? Well, do we have enough people for our group? I think when you see things through God's eyes, everything that we think is big as small and everything that we think is small is huge. So just be joyful in that witness. We think that's no big thing. That's huge. You worry about how to get a bus. That seems huge. That's small. All money belongs to God. And he'll figure out how to help you pay for everything. Just have, like Marjean said, take that step of faith. Like God, let God motivate your heart. It's awesome. I'd like to comment on that if I can. Just on the cross factor, because Marjean and I have heard that a lot over the years. People will bring up the price. Oh, it's so expensive. We can't possibly go. But I think you have to put this in perspective. I think that if people were offered the opportunity to go to Disney World for the same price that it cost them to go to Steubenville, they would take it. They would pay for it. But Steubenville is going to do a whole lot more for you than Disney World will. Steubenville, you have the opportunity to encounter Jesus and have a transformative life experience. And so I think you have to decide what your priorities are. I mean, Disney World may have the magic that Steubenville's got the power. So that's what we've got to figure. It is not the world of the Holy Spirit. It's nothing. Marketing. You've got to have marketing. It's Kathleen Disneyland. It's Kathleen Disneyland. It's the truth. It is. And it's, I mean, you know, we're talking about eternity here. So. Amen. Amen. Yeah. Amen. John, this is Jordan. I'm on audio. My internet went down at home. And so I'm off the laptop. But if I can make a couple comments, just listening in, just some advice from last year's work, coaching ambassadors for the Bosco Conference. Everything that's being said tonight is right on. Some of the things that were interesting last year is, I guess it's just helpful from the experience of last year, is how important it is to find somebody to help you in your ambassador work, kind of your co-chair, or your partner in crime, just like Colleen and Marjean have going on at their parish. One of the things that we were able to do last year for the Bosco Conference, and I think that John and Tim as ambassador coaches, we can help with for this next year's conferences. If a particular ambassador is struggling to find people in their area, it would like to be a part of their group. We do have access to be able to send out emails to people who have been to the conferences in the past, who maybe are in their area or nearby. We did that particularly for the Bosco Conference last year, and we're able to find a few folks to join a particular person's group. So that was a really cool way that even though we were remote, we weren't in the area that they were. We were in studentville, Ohio, doing this work. We could still assist in a meaningful way, and it was really helpful for that particular ambassador. So we really desire, and I'll speak for John and Tim, I think this is right on, really desire to create a relationship with all the ambassadors, to work with you. It's funny that our title is Coach, because a coach is there to help you when you need them, but sometimes a coach is there to help you when you don't want it. You've probably seen those shows on TV with the coaches and the weight loss programs who are making you stretch a little bit, do things that you don't necessarily want to do, or can't think you can do, and it is possible when you work together. So that's something that we'll also be approaching this role with, and we'll be your coach, helping you along the way, every step of the way. Amen. Thank you, Jordan. Such good points, really. This is what it's all about, is our mission here in the Christian outreach office is really, prayerfully discerned, and we didn't go too far from our Franciscan roots, is what Jesus received from the Lord, Jesus Christ from the cross, as he prayed, and that was, go rebuild my church. And when we think about the church in many areas, where faith has grown cold, the practice of the faith in some places is non-existent. Next door in the diocese of Pittsburgh, there's such strain that they are reducing the number of parishes by like a hundred. I mean, they're constantly clustering, and all this stuff is happening. It's a painful process, but it's marked by just a lack of fervor in the laity, and a lot of involvement in the church. And so, yeah, you know, we really want, we really want to turn that around. We are not sitting here in our chairs thinking, last one out, shut the lights off, and then the church is done. Our best days are ahead of us, and I believe this with all my heart. Why? Because as you and I sit on this webinar together, brothers and sisters, we have the power of the resurrected Jesus Christ at work in our lives. The same power that rose Jesus from the dead is the power that we go forth to proclaim his love to this world. And if Jesus's voice anointed by the Holy Spirit can call Lazarus from the tomb, then you and I, brothers and sisters, anointed by the Holy Spirit can speak words that will help draw people out of their dead faith into living faith, if through a living encounter with Jesus Christ, through the power of his Holy Spirit, through his living Word, through the sacraments which he gave us as the things that would nurture and bring our souls to life. Baptism started it, confirmation completes it, and every time we go to Eucharist and reconciliation, we are strengthened for holiness, strengthened for mission. We cannot give up. We cannot surrender. We cannot think this is just a slow slide into irrelevance and obscurity for the Catholic Church. We can win back our country. We can win back our lost fellow brothers and sisters who are in our Church and even find brothers and sisters who are separated by a different face and bring them back to Mother Church. That is our destiny, that is our heritage, and that is why I want to embolden everyone on here not to be afraid. There is nothing to be afraid of. If God calls you to it, he will see you through it because he has put his spirit in you and you've been baptized as priest, prophet, and king, and you can overcome all and do all through the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. Amen. All right. So, yeah, so, you know, Charlie, you have we're still getting questions. Please, we've got a few more minutes. So if you have any other questions, please type them in and let me, I'll let you know that we will be communicating with you. If you look at anything, send a message for everyone in the chat room saying if you want to re-enroll to be an ambassador, there's the link. If you have trouble with the Ambassador Portal, then go ahead and just send either myself, Tim or Jordan, whoever your ambassador coach is, an email and we will fix that and get you enrolled so that you get, when we have that Ambassador page done, we give you your password so you can get in there and start downloading the resources. I got Charlie down in Orlando and he's already got seven people committed to coming with him. So he's up. Woo! What's up? I think I got to figure out what prize I'm going to get from the largest group. Yeah, I'm good. It's going to be good. Maybe I'll get like rhinestones studded denim jackets with the Ambassador logo on it. I'm just kidding. It'll be better than that. Better than that. All right. So we will help connect you with past participants to help you build groups. We will help you, you know, we do have a list of contacts in different dioceses that we can supply to you that you can reach out to. There really is no, there really is no, what am I trying to say, limit as to the help that we can give in terms of connecting you. We have a lot of resources at our disposal and we will make them all available to you in any way that we can. And John, I just want to say that a little bit. You know, don't be afraid to think outside the box. You know, just because we haven't mentioned it as a way to spread the word or build a group or recruit people, it probably means that you have a better idea than we do. So, so don't be afraid to speak up and suggest it and if you want to bounce it off of us, you know, that's what we're here for, to float ideas. You know, if, if you got so, we would say, run with it. You know, just run with it and do it, you know, because the Lord's going to tell you to do things that we're not necessarily going to know because we're not it, you know, and so you got to listen to, to where he's calling you and what he's calling you to do and just run for it. Just go for it. Yeah. And I would say, don't under estimate the importance of having a strong prayer life yourself as an ambassador. You know, we can't operate on our own. We can't do anything on our own. It is through the power of the Holy Spirit that strengthens us. It renews us. It refreshes us. It keeps us going forward. It gives us the courage to stand up and share the truth. The Holy Spirit is everything. I mean, really, it's the power. So if you don't have the Holy Spirit in your life, you're not going to be effective as an ambassador. So I would just encourage everyone to have a really strong prayer life personally. Don't start your day without prayer. Don't start your day without scripture. Don't start your day without handing everything over to the Lord and saying, Lord, your will be done. Use me however you want to use me today. And that is your most effective tool in your toolbox is prayer. And then I'd also, if you don't have a group of people support system, start one. Start a prayer ministry. If the Lord leads you to it, just do it. It's our prayer ministry. Marjean and I, in our prayer ministry, this is our family. This is our... It's what keeps us going. It's what gives us something to go back to after we come home from the power and purpose conference. We have a place in our church where we can go and pray together and encourage each other and start to build those really strong roots because the power and purpose like kicked it off. It's lit that fire, but you gotta keep that fire going through your prayer with your church family and those friendships and everything. It is everything. So that's all. That's all I'd like to say. I just think that that is so important. Amen. Say, we still have time for a few more questions and we won't... If you guys don't really have any more questions, we can wrap this up. Once some Abigail and Regera have said, price should be free registration for 2019. Well, you're gonna get free registration for the conference that you bring people to anyway because you're an ambassador. So maybe it's free registration for all five conferences on campus. Of course, the pre-stegas and seminaries might be a little awkward if you showed up for that one Abigail. So maybe, it's gonna be bigger than that. Okay? Bigger than that. Like this is gonna be huge. It's gonna be huge. I like to have a car. It's huge. It's gonna be huge. Believe me. You're gonna love it. It's gonna be huge. Just to clarify what John said, the reason you'll get free registration is because you're gonna bring 20 people. Exactly. Because you're gonna bring a person. Yeah. So we're not gonna want to get a clarified that you don't just get it for being an ambassador, but when you bring 20 people, that's enough for registration. So. And if that's not enough, Tim will have you over to his house for dinner and cook for you. I don't know. I know. I'm not sure. Can you cook? I'm no Bobby Bobby Flay, but I mean, I can make a mean, I can make a mean chicken. You know? Oh, wow. All right. Marjean, are we going? I'm in. I'm gonna, I'm gonna, let me just, can I just do one last quick poll of the people who are still on the webinar with us. For those of you who are left, can you type? You know, you're just instead of asking a question, just say, type yes or learn more. Yes, you definitely are going to be an ambassador. And you want somebody to follow up this webinar with a phone call to you or to reach out to you or learn more and you want somebody to reach out to you so you can learn more. So if you hit yes, that means that you're definitely going to be an ambassador and you want somebody to reach out to you. If you hit learn more, it's the same thing. But be sure to specify for what conference. So, yes, power and purpose, you know, yes, Bosco, so I know who's going to reach out to you. So if you say defending the faith and Tim's going to contact, if you say St. John Bosco is going to be Jordan, if you say power and purpose, it's going to be me. You know, we just want to know who we're going to connect you with. All right. So, yeah, so just, you know, if you would just do that. And then if you're, if there's any topics, okay, like, Tim was sharing, like, how do you build a group? You know, like, that's going to be a whole other webinar. I mean, we're going to have that stuff and we're going to be talking about all the, all these things and even some of our webinars that aren't necessarily going to be training on how to be an ambassador are going to help you. Like, I think one of the webinars already that we will do probably in December, and I'll probably ask Colleen and Margeen to be a part of it is, well, how do I build a support group at my parish? Now, I mean, you guys, when you recruit somebody to be a part of your group coming to the conferences, you're going to want, you're going to want to, to be meeting and praying with them leading up to the conference. You're not going to want to wait to the conference before you all just get together for the first time. You're going to want to build this community in preparation for the experience. And if that's not something that you're comfortable with or you're not even really sure how to go about doing it, we will have a webinar for you to help you figure out how to build a support group or whatever kind of group you're looking for. So that you can really begin building that community that will transform your parish, your friends' lives. All right. So with that being said, I'm going to close this in prayer. Actually, one more thing Yeah, sure. I just want to point out, if you guys look in your message box, Allie Wainter just sent out the process for requesting print materials. And so if you see the email there is ambassadors at franciscan.edu. And she gave you some instructions there just about how to do it and what information to give us so that we get it to you and get the right information to you. I'm going to ask some of your cards. Again, if you have any questions You're distracting. If you have any questions You're under control. If you have any questions, feel free to contact your ambassador coach and they'll be able to direct you as well. All right, go ahead and pray now, John. Pick a card. Pick a card. Pick a card. Pick a card. Pick a card. All right. Pick a card. Pick a card. Allie Spirit Amen.
