 All right. Good morning. Welcome to the session. Let's begin this time with a word of prayer. Can we get into our class? Father, we thank you once again for this opportunity. Father, we thank you for your praise, Lord. We thank you for just giving us this ability to learn and study and pray, Lord, that even as we study about church planting, as we go about Lord planning and preparing God, I pray for your wisdom, pray God that you'll give us ideas, strategies, open doors for us to God at the right time. Lord, we just pray God that you will put a new vision in our hearts, a new desire to grow in the things of God. We thank you, Lord. We just submit this class with your hands. In Jesus' name we pray. All right. So we've been talking about last class. We did the launch phase a little bit about the launch phase. We looked at how the launch is just once. And also once the launch is done, it can be done in two different ways, either in a simple way, in a small setting, or the launch could be done as big promotion, like meeting and dealing service. And then we also looked at keeping the first service very simple, but the first service is very important because it is this service that, you know, it is where you can set your priorities, you set goals, you share your expectations and also people get to know what is it that you expect as a church, as a vision for the church. And also we shared about follow-up. So follow-up is very critical when it comes to, you know, especially when the church is small, you're growing, follow-up is very important. So something that we follow at ABC, welcome call, follow-up call one, follow-up call two, and then if they're interested, we connect them to a volunteer in team, or if they say, no, I'd like to go to another church. We release them, we don't hold people, we don't force people to come or manipulate, but we allow them to make the choice. And we also looked briefly at chapter 12, which was strategies for urban evangelism. And we stopped at identifying and developing strategies. So let's pick up from here. Now, there's five points here under identifying and developing strategies. First one is developing strategies for different age groups. Now, for example, children till they leave high school, say they're about 16 or 17 years old. So how can we minister to children in that age group? Now, we do know everywhere Christians have schools, something that we are always known for. There are a lot of Christian schools in every part of our nation, and I'm sure also in other nations. So what does it do? It gives us an opportunity to knock on doors. They say, maybe you're two, three years into the ministry, you've planted the church, and God is beginning to open up doors. So it gives us an opportunity to reach out to schools. Something that we do at APC is a program called the catalyst. The catalyst is where most Christian schools, what they have is an hour for scripture studies or scripture learning. And so we as a team, a catalyst team, they go and they teach children on scriptures, like Bible stories, Bible topics, and these are covered over the entire academic year. Now, what is happening? Number one is when we are doing this, we are sowing seeds at a young age. So children between, maybe you can say even eight, I know the notes say 10 to 14, but even children from eight years old, I've got an eight year old son, and the questions that he asks are, in terms of Bible and God, a very high question. So eight to 14, we are sowing seeds into their heart. And we believe that those seeds will grow. And we started catalyst, it was 2008, when we started catalyst, where we started going into schools and we would get probably, I think it was two hours a week, different sections. So we were from the primary section all the way up to the high school section. And we used to go, we still do it. We still go minister to these children. But what is the question that we can ask ourselves? Once the door is open, we need to be effective when God opens the door for us. We can just say, okay, God's open the door. We can go and keep getting them stories. That's not what we want to do. We want to make that one hour, 15 minutes fruitful. So what are some of the challenges that children face? So we got to do a little bit of work there. We got to think about it. Read, look at what's happening in the society, in the city that you're in. One of the challenges that we face in urban cities is children at the age of 10. And I know this because we speak to a lot of families who have children between 10 to 18. One of the challenges is that social media, a use of social media. So we got children who are even six and seven years old who know how to use a phone. They know how to get into apps. They know how to download apps. They know how to use apps. And sometimes social media becomes a place where they find their identity from. They are able to, but I'm not able to do this. Or they are doing this or even I must do this. So this peer pressure, there's lack of identity or lack of this feeling of insecurity coming into children at a very, very young age. So what are some of the other challenges that children face? It could be in terms of studies. Obviously, children are going to study all the way up to their youth as well. So studies could be a challenge or even in terms of being obedient or being kind to one another. So these are simple topics, but these are challenges that children are facing. And what are the strategies that as a church, we can develop to reach that audience? And so some of the topics that we talked about in children's, in terms of catalyst is there's peer pressure, there's obedience. There's a vast variety of topics. So we can do that. And again, when we are teaching all of this, we bring in Christian values. We bring in the word of God. We bring in what the scripture says. So it's not just stories, but scripture. It's based on the Bible. So that is what our age is. And then you have the youth, 18 to 25 now. Children and youth have very different concerns. And children, they do things because as parents, we tell them and they do it. They don't do it. We know how to correct them to make them do it. But once they are youth, 18 to 25, we tell them it's their choice because they've grown up. They're going through many physical changes. They're going through hormonal changes. They're emotionally, they can be up or down in terms of their studies academically. 18 to 25 is the age where a lot of the youth are very concerned about how they look, how they speak, what are their talents. These are things that they're very, very concerned about. So how do I invite or how do I encourage the youth? How can I minister to them? 18 to 25 also, some of them have great aspirations. They have big visions. They have great plans, but there are some things that can stop them, hinder them. It could be financial things. It could be their own self, like emotions. So they're going through a whole, you know, their life is all going just ups and downs. What strategies we can develop for youth? So I just shared some of the strategies that we can have, especially for youth, is, you know, we have life groups. So something that we like to do is youth meetings, youth life groups. And it's again, it's a very informal gathering, right? So it's not like, you know, come on, let's say it, open your Bible, let's read the words in chapter. It's very informal. Youth want to talk about present day, what is happening. They want, you know, talks about how they can, you know, improve their life, how present they think they're not too concerned of these outdated stuff. They want what is happening in them now. So you've got the Gen Z, you've got those languages that are there right now. And, you know, I never was eight years old. And so he comes up with all these, you know, they hear this from the kids who are elder, right? Who are in their senior school. So he comes up and he asked me some, something about some word and had no clue what it is. And apparently some Gen Z language, right? But now I have to go back and read up about Gen Z language so that I'll be able to correct him and know whether what he's saying is right or wrong. And I need to be on track with what he's learning. So the same way, when you and I as ministries, we get opportunities. We must be ready. Now listen, this is very important. God will open the door. God will give us the opportunity. But when the opportunity comes, it is our responsibility on how we prepare and how we do well in that opportunity. So you get youth concerts, you have youth meetings, you have just one-on-one talks. It's very informal times. But I remember this one time we went to this college. We said, we want to do a Christmas Carol concert. Right now, this was a Christian college. So we said, see, you have the auditorium. We'll bring our own equipment, our own instruments. All you have to do, if you can get all the students together in the auditorium, we'll do a Christmas Carol concert. And then after the concert, we'll just share a small five-minute message about Christmas. And then we have some free books that they'd like to take, they can take. Now, being a Christian college, they were fine with it. They said, okay, you can come. And now we've got the permission. So how do we go? We can't go and sing songs which were there in the 1990s. We can go and sing Jingle bells. They're not going to be happy with them. So it's a Christmas concert. So we knew we had to get their attention. We knew a few things. One, the songs need to be good. Two, the music needs to be good. Three, it should be irrelevant to the people who are there, the youth who are there. And then we also had to prepare for the message, the five-minute message. We've got five minutes to bring the message of Christ, of Christmas. Now, you've got about 600 students sitting there. Maybe only 10% of them are Christians, but the others are all from other faiths. How can we minister to them? How can we be effective in what we're going to do? That's very important. That's why I remember we went back. This was, I think, 2015 or 2016. We went back. We formed a team many, many weeks of practice. I first listened to a lot of the contemporary Christian Christmas songs and contemporary songs. We learned those songs, went for practices, and made sure that we had a good equipment, good sound system. And then we did the whole concert. We shared a Christmas message. And the team in the college, they really liked it. They said, can you do one thing? Can you come every year and do this? We said, yeah, we're fine. We can come every year and do this. And then they said, OK, not only this, can you also come and teach life skills? Now, you can't use the name of Jesus, but you can use the word God and you can use scriptures. But life skills, one hour, every month, one hour. I said, OK, fine. Now, then we got opportunities at other colleges. So they said, why don't you come and do a Christmas concert even for us? And why don't you also come and teach us life skills and teach the students on scriptures. Then we got opportunities in other colleges and they said most of our students are going through drug addictions, going through suicidal tendencies. Can you come? Do you have a topic on that? We said, yes. And so over time, it all started small. It was one road. Over time, we were able to open up and the ministry, like the whole ministry began to do. And we later called it campus elevates. And so we were able to reach out now. But it's very important to know who is the audience you're ministering to. So some of the youth events you can do is coffee day events, campus elevates, youth concerts, campus groups and colleges and hostels, Bible study groups in hostels and colleges. So these are options that you can do. Now, I know that when you just launched, your focus is the church, your focus is the church. Yes, but over time, I'm talking about maybe even if it's a year, even if it's more than one or two years down the line, God will open those. Now, don't say, God, no, let the church grow then. God is open. Just get into it and be ready with strategies on how you can reach out. Now, if God is open the door, God will also provide for walletiers and leaders and people to help you fulfill it. So that also just, it's a whole trusting God. They're a trust dog that God will bring people. Then you've got the young adults. They've got special seminars, preparing for marriage, life skills, workplace groups, professional conferences. That's something that we have in, that we have at ABC here is a Christian leaders conference, right? So, sorry, professionals conference. There are people from the professional, from the corporate sectors, people who are leading their own businesses who are working. They come and we have a one day event on how to be good professionals, how to instill Godly values, Godly principles in the work that we're doing. So these are other options. Then we have marriage families. So marriage courses, chrysalis counseling, marriage seminars, women's conference, men's conference. These are, again, ways to reach out. Senior citizens, so visiting, this is something what we do with the life groups or what we call selling groups. So here, we visit old age homes, maybe once in a month or once in two, three months. Visit an old age home, be a blessing and come back, right? Okay, so let's go to the second option, right? First one, we just looked at it, different age groups. So we've got children, we've got teens, youth, young adults, married couples, and then senior citizens. Now, the second strategy is addressing the need of the place of the city, right? Now, when it comes to migrants, those who come into the city from another place, either for education or for a job, provide a community that helps and cares for them. Now, how can we do that, right? Now, there are people who come from different cities. They come into our city. Now, there could be people who are, the list is here, there's suicidal, contradictions of them seeking jobs, some of them financial guidance, some of them are homeless. So we have different, you know, different areas of need in every city. Again, it's very important to understand this, right? We are not taking the place of God. We're not saying, okay, we can do, we will help out everyone all the time. It may not happen, right? Because here's the thing, when we start a ministry, it takes time to build. And as we keep building, then God begins to open doors, right? So when we address needs in the city, we're talking about it, we're helping people, right? So for example, here's what we did at, you know, 2020 COVID hit. We thought, okay, how can APC be a blessing? I'm not sure if you've heard of what happened, but what we did was we had something called as a COVID relief fund, right? So this is all funded by the church, church people, church congregation, and they donated and we used that fund to bless pastors and leaders across our nation. How did we bless them? We provided them either with food, with clothing during that time. Some of them we also provided the money for their children's education. Now, again, everything was done in a way, everything was checked, right? It was not like, okay, if anyone can say, I'm a pastor and then we would support them. No, we would check, okay, are they really a pastor? Are they really doing a ministry? Is their ministry established or is their ministry, are they reaching out to people? Do they really have a family? How long has the church been serving? Are they being funded by any other place? So we did a little bit of a background check. It's not wrong, it's not like we don't have faith in them, but it's just being wise, because this is God's money, so we'll be wise-headed. So there will come a time when you may be able to minister to people or provide for people, so you can go ahead and do that. And even as you do that, be careful that good actions and good intentions are not misunderstood. Now, over time, there will be many misunderstandings, right? So this other ministry may misunderstand, other people may misunderstand, and because our good intentions are to maybe bless people, but sometimes it's misunderstood. So the way we do these things, these good intentions, we need to be wise, right? Be wise in how you do it. For example, a simple example, whatever you do, every transaction, make it an online transaction. What happens? Everything is on, it's there. You want to go back to it, if you want to make, you want to do any conversations, always have it on email. So nobody can say, but you said this, we have it on email. Go back to the email, find the email, it's there. That's the simple things being wise, right? And then we have the seven mountain, third one. Strategies addressing different spheres of activity. The seven mountains or the seven fields, spheres of influence, education, arts and entertainment, media, business, government, family, and religion. Now, if you look at it, if you look at it from the early 1990s, till about the early 2000s, or even before that, but what I'm trying to say is, the church has always kept away from engaging in this seven mountains, spheres of influence. Now, there could be many reasons. Why? Because we never prayed for God to open a door. Two, we always thought that that is, you know, we have this thing, right? Ministry or full-time ministry, and that is a secular job. So we have that mindset, right? Or we always thought that, you know, that is separate to ministry. But over time, over the years, what's happened? People have changed. Mindsets have changed. Okay, you're in the workplace, but you can also do ministry. You're in the workplace, but you can also be a good believer and be a testimony there. So this whole mindset of full-time ministry and secular job is changing. So with this change, how do we address or how do we permeate and penetrate into the seven spheres? Education we talked about, right? We can, you know, knock on doors, go to schools, go to colleges, right? Arts and entertainment, right? We can use arts and entertainment to reach out to people. Also, for example, we have, you know, the person who is a very influential dancer, right? And he's, you know, on one of the top in our nation. And he goes to different places and a very good dancer. And he is a believer. So he's able to, you know, reach out to people. He shares the gospel. He shares his testimony. Then we have also a couple of our church folks who are in the music industry. They are the best in the music industry and very well known, very famous across the nation. Good believers, they're able to minister to them, minister to people in the arts and entertainment, right? Then same way, you've got media, you've got business believers who have started business, who are already in business, right? How can we minister? How can we, you know, bless them? How can we minister to them so that they can be a blessing to people in the business? Right? Then we go to government and family and religion, right? So reaching the influential is not wrong at all. And the mind said, sometimes we were thinking, oh, what did people think? Don't worry about what people think. Look at this. Zacchaeus was in Luke 19, one of them. Zacchaeus was the chief collector of Rich Man and yet he was interested in seeing Jesus. Rich Man, chief tax collector. He had everything going with him, right? And during those days, during those days, the chief tax collectors were protected by the Roman government, right? They had books. They had everything that they need. They were not under any kind of problem, any kind of suppression. They had a good, enjoyable life. They had all the money that they needed. Now this Zacchaeus wanted to see Jesus. What is the teachers? There are many of them who may be highly influential. They have a lot of money. They have everything, big house, big car. Yet they are like Zacchaeus seeking for Jesus, waiting to be rich. So we need skilled, qualified people to minister in those areas, right? Now Bible studies are one of the ways we can minister to them, right? Now, again, if you know that God is opening a door in the corporate sector, we've got to have the right people ministering to them at their level to understand their level of thinking, their level of reasoning. You must be able to do it some people. Now, even as I'm sharing all this, remember, you may think, hey, I've just started my church. What is the least? How do I go to all these places? How do I do it? Now, think ahead. You've started your church, now it's maybe two years down the line. These are doors that God is opening. You pray and ask God to open these doors, right? New ways of ministry must be encouraged in your church. Remember, if your church is only centered around Sunday service and church growth, it's good. Sunday service is important. Church growth is important, but if it's only centered around that, what will happen? We cannot be a blessing to others. You know, be able to, you know, the more we need to ask God to open the doors as a church, right? So, it's not just Sunday and life group, but it's much more than that. Have the bigger vision, right? And using tools like printed books, we talked about this last week, right? Pamphlets, newspaper pamphlets, newspaper inserts, internet, social media, television, music, performing arts, Bible studies, and now with online, right? A lot of folks, a lot of people are watching online, right? With, you know, internet being widely used everywhere, you know, our reach is much, much, much more. So again, leveraging the tools that we have, right? So these are certain guidelines, regulations that we can think about, strategies that we can think about, but even as you prepare for this, it's very important as a leader, as a pioneer to prepare guidelines, prepare regulations, choose the right person, the right team, come up with the right ministry name. All of these are important aspects, right? Now, you know, sometimes it will look like a daunting task. We may say, so why don't I just start the church, have Sunday sermons, just have life groups, ministry, women's ministry, youth meeting. Yeah, that's the way. So we want to do that, but what did Jesus say? Go and make disciples, go out. Don't just, it's not only in the church, right? Any questions? Before we go into chapter 13, we're going to look at the seven mountain assignment, a little more in detail, the seven spheres of influence, how you and I can minister and penetrate through these seven mountain assignments. Okay, if there's no question, we'll go ahead, we'll continue. So the seven mountain, where did this, this phrase, where was it coined? 1975, Bill Bright, founder of campus, and youth with the mission, they came up with this, this whole aspect of impacting the nation of Jesus Christ. And then when they were sitting, talking, they were discussing, they came up with seven main pillars of society. Seven pillars, seven places which encompass everyone in a certain city or a nation, seven pillars of society. So then later on, the phrase seven mountain came to be known as the seven mountain or the seven spheres. Now this is for communication purposes, but today let's, now let's look at the seven mountains or the seven pillars, the seven spheres of influence in any society. This will be there in any nation, at least for most of the urban nations. Okay, let's look at the first one, family. Now family is the institution set up by God, right? Second one, religion includes the church and the people of God. Education, which is schools, colleges, academic, media with all forms of print, newspaper, TV, internet, arts and entertainment, sports, arts, entertainment, which includes everything, dance, cultural activities, business that is science and technology, innovations, activities, then government. So the judicial system, the legislative law and the executive law, right? Now in each of these groups, there will be thousands and thousands of people and thousands and thousands of some groups in each of these groups. But God wants us to be changing agents in all these years, right? It was, it is here that we are able to, you know, minister, reach out to people, touch people's lives, right? Believers in the local church must be made aware and equipped on how to impact the sense of the church, right? So for example, church has started, right? It's been two years and you see a youth who has been regular to your church for more than one year now, been regular, he's got a good knowledge of God's word, has been faithful. What you and I can do is begin to mentor and begin to teach and raise up this young boy. He may be working in the corporate sector, he may be a student, but begin to, you know, instill values where, hey, you can go and minister to people wherever you are. So if it's in college, you can encourage him, hey, why don't you start a Bible study group in your college? Now, has it been done before? It has been done. I remember we had, again, this is early 2000 and I get the years gone to so many places. It could be somewhere around 2017. We had one of our students who are part of our church and eventually what happened was he wanted to start a Bible study group in the college, in the college campus. So he got permission from the college. The college was a Christian college, so they said, okay, you can start, but make sure that you can, you know, you use this room, but you're not forcing anybody, you're not distributing any of your pamphlets. So he said it's fine. So he started with two people in a small place inside the college campus and this happened during the lunch break. So the one-hour lunch break, 10 minutes have lunch and then they would meet for about 40 minutes for this Bible study group. And so over time what happened was this boy was able to lead this group and the group became more than about 100 people that we would go. At times he would invite different pastors to come and preach and different people to come and lead worship, so we would go and lead the worship, minister for about 35, 40 minutes in God's word and then come back. And he did a wonderful work. He was just there for three years in that college. He started it when he was in second year. So second and third year he did it. He was able to lead this team and eventually what he did was he also raised up a leader so that when he moves on from the college, when he moves on, the work will continue. Now he was just a believer in our church that he was able to do it. So the same way, there will be people that we must train. If somebody is in the corporate sector, get that, get them trained. Hey, how do you minister to people in the corporate sector? What is it that you can say? What is it, you know, what are the, of course it takes time, but you train them, you empower them, give them, let them know that as a church, you are there with them, but they need any material, if they need any help, you're there to help them. So the challenge, the process, the preparation, the positioning, all of this is very important. So the challenge is to preach the gospel to every creature, to every disciple, to the nations. Two is the process. How do we plant seeds? How do we make sure, whatever, in every sphere, the seventh sphere, how do we plant seeds? What are the process that we're going to use? What are we going to do if the soil is hard? What are we going to do if people are unprepared? What are we going to do if those open and we get open those? How are we going to minister? What are we going to do if certain doors close? How are we going to prepare? How are we going to position ourselves as a church? And then you and I can put the seed and let God multiply it a hundredfold. That's just our responsibility. We both put the seed as God to multiply it. So again, when we do all of this, what is happening? We have a kingdom mindset. It is not a mindset of, I want my church to grow. Yes, we also want our church to grow. Every pastor, every ministry leader would want their church to grow. But it's beyond that. It's about being a blessing to reach out to the minister to every steer of influence. So how do we transform cultures? How do we impact lives? Transform cultures. Transform people's minds. They're thinking one, modern biblical principles. In 1928 was 20, let's reason. In 1928, 20. Okay, I'll read it. And teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. Teaching them modern biblical principles. So if you are ministering in a certain place and we know that, okay, we need to we want to sow seeds, God's word into their heart. Modern biblical principles. Let the word of God teach them the word of God. The word of God is what will bear fruit in people's lives. Bring the principles of the Bible, all that Jesus taught. Bring it in. There's every sphere, when you look at Jesus' ministry, he has touched on every sphere of influence. Did he talk about family? Yes. Did he talk about religion? Yes, he said don't be like those Pharisees and the Sadducees who are like East. But when you pray, go to your Father and go to your room, pray to your Father in private. Has he talked about education? Yes, he has. Has he talked about, has he ministered to, of course there's no media, but in terms of public communication? Yes, he has. He has touched every form, every sphere he has touched. And so we can use biblical principles. One of the business man comes and says, you know, how do I, on what must I type? Should I type my gross or my net? Pick up. So model it on principles from the Bible. Of course it's not written in the Bible, gross and net, model it. The principle is there in the Bible. Bring principles, biblical principles of integrity, excellence, kindness, justice, treating people well, this love, being patient, not being jealous or walking in pride, walking in humility, model it, teach it, coach people to live in this kind of a way. And when we model it, we'll be able to teach it. And when we teach it, people will grasp it. They'll want to follow it. Second way is to let our light shine by our good works. Matthew 5.13 through 16. Shall we read that? Matthew 5.13 through 16. Yes, anyone can read, please? Matthew 5.13 through 16. You are the fault of the world, but if the soul loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing, but to be thrown out and trampled under food by man. You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden, nor do they light the lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lamp stand. And it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before man that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. Amen. Thank you so much. So this is the saying, you are the soul, you are the light. Let your light, let your works shine before man that they will glorify the Father in heaven. Right? So we can be people who can just walk in these values. Thirdly, engaging in spiritual transformation. Right? Now, the best example would be the Apostle Paul, right? Even to Ephesus, a place which had so much of, you know, evil. There was sexual immorality. There was sin. That was the place where there was idolatry happening there. But he was able to bring in transformation, spiritual transformation, that place. He went to Corinth again. Same thing. He went to Galatia. Whenever he went, there was a transformation of the place, right? Spiritual transformation. Why? Because he ministered in power. He ministered the word of God. If you read all through the Book of Acts, wherever the disciples went, the spiritual, you know, the place that they were in, the entire spiritual atmosphere changed because they were the salt. They were the light. Their light shone so bright that people saw it and said, hey, we want this. And so when you and I also go to places, go to areas, we can be, let our worlds shine. Let our, the work of the Holy Spirit make a change in their lives. Right? And then there is something that is involved. That is preparation. So the first one, first point was the challenge was to preach. Two is the process. That is, how do we go about doing this? Three is preparation. The church has to be prepared, ready, equipped to go ahead and do this, to administer to people. Heart prepare, preparation is important. It means guard against lust of the money and power and influence. Have the right attitude. Why are you doing what you're doing? Keep your desires and motives pure. Not to gain recognition, but to glorify God so that the ministry is blessed. Guard your motivations. Why am I doing this? Why am I choosing this? What are my purposes? Especially when you look at businesses and you look at things, people who are working in the corporate sector, we need to ask ourselves, why am I doing this? Guard our motivations and guard our character. Character determines our decisions. We must guard ourselves and say, okay, God, I am doing this. Why am I doing this? Help me to conform to your standards. Whether people are watching or not, help me to walk to Christ like this, to walk in integrity, to walk in love, my character, excellence, to walk in compassion. That is what I want to do. And people will notice, people will grasp it. And then there is spiritual preparation. There is modeling biblical principles, tapping into the work of the Holy Spirit through signs, wonders and miracles, asking God to give us creative ideas, demonstrating wisdom. And we talk to people, prophetic words of knowledge. All of these are the spiritual aspects. The fourth way of ministering to these fields of influence is the positioning. We are positioned to influence Jesus Christ in Luke 19. He said in Luke 19. He says, occupy till I come. Which means go above, go and do until I come. So God can position you in one or more ways. We look at that list there as a transformer, as an influencer, as an accessor, as a cross pollinator, as a trendsetter, and as a catalyst at any level. Transformer, like a Joseph or a Daniel. He transformed the entire society, the entire nation was transformed because of them. Influencer, Esther was able to influence people, the Jews, right? Naman was able to influence Naman. Saying, you go and pray and you will be healed. Accessor, Nehemiah had access to the king. God can open doors and give you access to people in different spheres of society. And through your access you can bring in God's word. You can bring in the light of God in that place. Cross pollinator, Moses and Paul a preacher to those in authority. Moses ministered Paul ministered and they ministered Paul ministered to the Gentiles being a Jew and so a cross pollinator a trendsetter and a catalyst at any level. So these are different ways that we can minister and as a church, especially once you begin your church, begin your ministry, those that we can pray and ask God to open for us. Right? So let's close here and we will pick up from next week we will go to the next topic. We will continue to learn and there are many aspects when it comes to church planting. So we continue to learn and continue to work together. Thank you so much for joining. I have a great week ahead. I'll see you next week. God bless.
