Announcer: COMING UP, EXPLORING THE VALUE OF YOUR CALLING.
Beth: KEITH DOES NOT BRING HOME FISH
AND PUT THEM IN A TANK AND WE WATCH THEM SWIM AROUND.
WE FRY UP THOSE BABIES AND WE MAKE HOMEMADE TARTAR SAUCE.
AND WHAT HAPPENS HERE IN GOSPEL FISHING
IS THAT WE'RE CAUGHT SO THAT WE CAN BE RELEASED,
NOT FROM HIM, BUT FROM EVERYTHING ELSE THAT BINDS US.
Announcer: GOD'S CALLING -- NEXT ON LIFE TODAY!
§
James: THANK YOU SO MUCH!
WELCOME TO LIFE TODAY.
BETTY AND I, JAMES ROBISON,
WELCOME YOU TO THE PROGRAM.
I WANT TO MENTION SOMETHING
THAT IS AVAILABLE RIGHT NOW.
IT IS THE CHRISTIAN VOTE PIN.
IT YOU'LL GO ONLINE
LIFETODAY.ORG WE'LL TELL YOU
HOW TO GET INDIVISIBLE,
EITHER IN THE HARDBACK BOUND
OR THE PAPERBACK
AND WE'LL SEND YOU
TWO CHRISTIAN VOTE PINS
WHEN YOU SIMPLY ASK FOR IT.
WE REALLY WANT TO THANK YOU
FOR PRAYING FOR OUR COUNTRY.
NO DOUBT IN OUR MIND,
BETTY AND I ARE CONVINCED
THE VIEWERS OF LIFE TODAY
CARE ABOUT OTHERS.
AND IF WE WANT OUR NATION
TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO BLESS
THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD
AND OUR PEOPLE TO ENJOY
THE BLESSINGS OF OUR FREEDOM,
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO MAKE
SOME VERY WISE DECISIONS.
WE NEED TO BE PROTECTING
PRECIOUS INNOCENT LIFE
AND WE REALLY NEED TO BE
EMPHASIZING THE IMPORTANCE
AND SANCTITY OF MARRIAGE
AND THE IMPORTANCE OF FAMILY.
BETH MOORE IS TEACHING
ON THE CALL OF GOD
AND ON THE NET THAT
GOD LITERALLY DRAWS US IN
SO THAT WE CAN CAST
TO REACH PEOPLE FOR CHRIST.
THE ENEMY HAS A NET TOO AND
IT'S DECEPTIVE AND DESTRUCTIVE.
I WANT YOU TO LISTEN
TO BETH MOORE.
I THINK YOU'RE GOING
TO REALLY ENJOY THIS.
HERE SHE IS.
Beth: I WANT TO READ YOU
A PASSAGE OUT OF JOHN 12:41.
IT'S TALKING ABOUT A PORTION --
JESUS IS TELLING THEM --
IS RECITING FOR THEM
A PORTION OF ISAIAH,
OFF OF THOSE VERY, VERY PAGES
AND IT SAYS SOMETHING
THAT'S JUST STARTLING.
YOU'LL HEAR IT IN THE NIV.
JOHN 12:41 SAYS THIS:
ISAIAH SAID THESE THINGS --
AND YOU CAN LOOK BACK
AND SEE AMONG THE WRITINGS
OF THE PROPHET ISAIAH
THESE VERY WORDS
AND THE WORDS IN 40
ARE RIGHT THERE IN THAT PORTION
BACK AROUND 6.
ISAIAH SAID THESE THINGS
BECAUSE HE SAW
WHAT MANY OF YOUR TRANSLATIONS
ARE GOING TO SAY,
"HE SAW HIS GLORY."
THE NIV SAYS:
"HE SAW JESUS' GLORY.
HE SAW JESUS' GLORY."
TWO DIFFERENT COMMENTARIES,
WORD BIBLICAL COMMENTARY AND
THEN EXPOSITOR'S COMMENTARY,
BOTH SAID
THEY WERE ABLE TO CONFIRM,
YES, IT IS VERY, VERY POSSIBLE
THAT WHAT WE'RE HEARING
CHRIST SAY IS THAT
WHEN ISAIAH SPOKE THOSE THINGS,
WHEN HE HAD THAT VISION
OF THE ONE UPON THE THRONE
THAT IT WAS CHRIST THAT HE SAW.
THAT JUST BLOWS MY MIND!
THIS IS SOMETHING,
I LEARNED THIS EARLY ON,
I DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD
MAKE A RULE OUT OF IT BUT
IT'S JUST A GOOD PRINCIPLE TO
TRY TO WRAP YOUR MIND AROUND
WHEN IT COMES TO EPIPHANIES.
THAT IN THE SCRIPTURES,
IN THE OLD TESTAMENT,
ANY SEE-ABLE, HUMANLY SEE-ABLE
REVELATION OF GOD
IN THE OLD TESTAMENT
WAS SOME FORM OF CHRIST
BECAUSE WE CANNOT LOOK UPON GOD
AND LIVE.
SO, SOMEHOW THERE ARE
MANY SCHOLARS THAT BELIEVE
THAT ANYTIME THERE WAS SEEN
THE ONE UPON THE THRONE,
THAT IF THEY WERE ABLE TO SEE
ANY PART OF THE PERSON
THAT IT WAS CHRIST HIMSELF.
SO, YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO THERE,
THAT'S NOT A DEAL BREAKER
RIGHT THERE
BUT WHAT'S SO FASCINATING
IS JESUS SAYING
THAT ISAIAH SAW HIM,
JESUS' GLORY, ON THAT THRONE.
IN OTHER WORDS,
BACK THERE IN ISAIAH 6,
WHEN HE SEES THE LORD
HIGH AND LIFTED UP
THAT VERSE COULD IMPLY
THAT WHO HE SAW
SITTING UPON THAT THRONE
WAS JESUS HIMSELF.
I MEAN, LIKE ALL THOSE SERAPHIM
WERE JUST FLYING AROUND
AND SAYING, "HOLY, HOLY, HOLY.
THE WHOLE EARTH
IS FULL OF HIS GLORY."
AND ALL OF THIS IS HAPPENING
IN THAT WE'VE GOT THIS CALLING
THAT'S HAPPENING.
BUT WHAT'S HAPPENED NOW
IS THAT THIS SAME GOD --.
HERE'S WHAT WE'VE GOT TO GET.
DO YOU REALIZE
WHO HAS CALLED YOU?
THAT SAME GOD
WRAPS HIMSELF IN FLESH,
COMES TO THE EARTH
AND WALKS ONTO THAT SHORE
AND CALLS THE LIKES
OF SIMON PETER
FROM THE BOAT.
HERE'S WHERE I WANT TO TAKE YOU
FOR A MINUTE BECAUSE I JUST DID
-- I SAT BACK AND STARTED
JUST WHIRLING, WHIRLING
BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THE TWO.
SO, I WONDER
IF YOU WOULD GO WITH ME HERE
FOR JUST A MOMENT OR TWO.
I WANT YOU TO PICTURE
THAT WE HAVE ISAIAH
AND WE HAVE PETER
RIGHT HERE UP ON THE PLATFORM.
BECAUSE IT'S OLD TESTAMENT
I'LL PUT HIM FIRST,
I WANT YOU TO THINK
OF ISAIAH RIGHT HERE.
THEN I WANT YOU TO THINK
OF PETER OVER HERE.
WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO
WITH YOU IS COMPARE,
FOR JUST A MOMENT,
THE CALLING OF BOTH PETER
AND ISAIAH AND HOW THEY
MIGHT HAVE SIMILARITIES
BECAUSE I WANT YOU
TO WRAP YOUR BRAIN AROUND
THAT THIS IS THE GOD,
THE HOLY, HOLY, HOLY ONE
WHO HAS CALLED US.
WE MAKE THE MOST
GRIEVOUS MISTAKE OF ALL
WHEN WE TRY TO DUMB JESUS DOWN.
HE IS GOD!
HE IS GOD!
THE SKY WILL SPLIT FOR HIM
WHEN HE COMES BACK.
WE WILL LITERALLY MOURN
OVER THE SIGHT OF HIM,
HE WILL BE SO GLORIOUS!
SOMEHOW WE'VE DETACHED THE TWO.
SO, WHO DO WE HAVE OVER HERE?
Audience: ISAIAH.
Beth: AND WHO DO WE HAVE
OVER HERE?
Audience: PETER.
Beth: OKAY, GO WITH ME HERE
AND SEE IF THIS MAKES
ANY SENSE TO YOU.
FAST FORWARD WITH ME
ALL OF THE WAY OVER
TO SIMON PETER.
HE MIGHT HAVE BEEN ABLE
TO SAY IT LIKE THIS:
IN THE YEAR AD 30,
I SAW THE LORD.
WITH PEOPLE PACKED AROUND HIM
LISTENING TO THE WORD OF GOD,
AND ALL AT ONCE
HE WAS SEATED IN A BOAT
A LITTLE FROM THE SHORE
AND THE TRAIN OF HIS ROBE
FILLED THE FLOORBOARD
AND SUDDENLY IT WAS AS IF
IT WERE JUST THE TWO OF US
AND HE TOLD ME TO PUT OUT
INTO THE DEEP
AND LET DOWN MY NETS
AFTER I FISHED ALL NIGHT
AND CAUGHT EXACTLY NOTHING.
BUT, BECAUSE HE SAID SO,
I DID SO AND LO AND BEHOLD
TWO BOATS COULD NOT CONTAIN
THE HAUL OF FISH.
AND I LOOKED AT HIM
AND WONDERED WHAT MANNER OF MAN
WAS SEATED THERE IN THE BOAT,
THE TRAIN OF HIS ROBE
FILLING THE FLOORBOARD.
BUT WHAT PETER'S EYES
WERE SHIELDED FROM SEEING
WAS THAT AS SURELY
AS CHRIST IS GOD,
ON THAT VERY DAY IN THE DEEP
THERE WERE ABOVE HIM SERAPHS,
EACH WITH SIX WINGS.
WITH TWO
THEY COVERED THEIR FACES,
WITH TWO
THEY COVERED THEIR FEET,
AND WITH TWO
THEY WERE FLYING.
AND THOUGH PETER'S EARS
WERE UNABLE TO HEAR
AS SURELY AS CHRIST IS GOD,
RIGHT THERE ABOVE THAT BOAT
THOSE SERAPHS WERE CALLING
TO ONE ANOTHER,
"HOLY, HOLY, HOLY
IS THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY!
THE WHOLE EARTH
IS FULL OF HIS GLORY.
AND BACK IN ISAIAH CHAPTER 6
THE PROPHET CRIED OUT:
ISAIAH WROTE OF THE EVENT THAT:
IT WAS PERHAPS THE YOUNGEST
OF THESE WHO WOULD LATER WRITE:
HOLY, HOLY, HOLY,
THE WHOLE SHORE
WAS FULL OF HIS GLORY!
DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND
IT HAS TO BE LIKE THAT?
DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND
IT'S THE REASON WHY HE CAME?
THAT THAT VERY GOD
STOOD UP FROM THE THRONE,
LEFT HIS FATHER'S SIDE,
WRAPPED HIMSELF
IN HUMAN FLESH AND BLOOD,
CAME TO THE SHORES OF EARTH,
GOT SAND IN-BETWEEN HIS TOES
TO SAY, "WHOM SHALL I SEND?
WHO WILL GO FOR ME?
DEPART FROM ME.
DEPART FROM ME!
I'M A MAN OF UNCLEAN LIPS."
AND HE SAYS,
"I HAVE ATONED FOR YOUR SINS."
NUMBER TWO IS THIS:
WE KEEP LOOKING
FOR OUR WORTHINESS
AND ALL OF OUR VALUE INSIDE
AND HE'S GOING,
"LISTEN, YOU SEARCH ME OUT.
I'M THE ONE
WHO CALLED YOUR NAME.
LOOK AT WHO I AM.
I AM THE ONE WHO SOUGHT YOU,
CHASED YOU DOWN,
MET YOU AT HOME,
CHASED YOU TO WORK.
I AM THE ONE WHO CALLS YOU."
YOU LOOK AT HIM AND YOU
WILL SEE YOUR SIGNIFICANCE
AND I WILL SEE MY SIGNIFICANCE.
LOOK AT VERSE TEN,
WHERE HE SAYS THIS:
IT'S A COMPOUND WORD IN GREEK
AND IT DOESN'T JUST MEAN
TO CATCH,
IT MEANS TO CATCH ALIVE.
SO HE'S PLAYING OFF ON
A VERY, VERY WELL-KNOWN MAXIM
IN FISHING AND THAT'S THAT YOU
DON'T BRING HOME THE FISH --.
KEITH DOES NOT BRING HOME FISH
AND PUT THEM IN A TANK
AND WE WATCH THEM SWIM AROUND.
WE FRY UP THOSE BABIES
AND WE MAKE HOMEMADE
TARTAR SAUCE.
THAT'S WHAT WE DO
WITH THE FISH HE BRINGS HOME
BECAUSE HE CATCHES THEM
TO KILL THEM.
REMEMBER, FOR SOME OF US THAT'S
STUDIED THE CONCEPT OF THE NET
IN THE OLD TESTAMENT TOGETHER,
REMEMBER WHEN WE WERE PRAYING
THAT GOD WOULD JUST PLUCK
OUR FEET OUT OF THE NET.
SEE, THAT IS A NET TO KILL,
TO STEAL, AND DESTROY.
BUT HIS NET
IS TO CATCH US ALIVE!
TO CATCH US ALIVE!
YOU'VE HEARD OF THE INTERNET?
BELOVED, THIS IS
THE E-N-T-E-R N-E-T.
ENTER NET.
"I WILL CATCH YOU," HE SAYS.
"I WILL CATCH YOU FOR GOOD."
THAT BRINGS US TO NUMBER THREE:
NOW, THAT IS GOING TO MAKE
SOME MAN OUT THERE HAPPY THAT
HE HAS WATCHED THESE WOMEN,
SO MANY TIMES,
AND HE THINKS TO HIMSELF,
"FINALLY, SOMETHING I CAN
UNDERSTAND IN A METAPHOR!"
AND WHAT WE'VE GOT HERE
IS THAT GOSPEL FISHING
IS CATCH AND RELEASE.
THAT'S WHAT MY HUSBAND HAS
TO DO IN MANY OF THE RIVERS
WHERE HE IS OUT FOR --.
AM I SAYING IT RIGHT,
GENTLEMEN?
WHITE FISH, OR SOME KIND OF
TROUT YOU CATCH IN A RIVER,
VERY OFTEN THEY CAN'T TAKE
ANY HOME WHERE HE FISHES AND
YOU HAVE TO THROW THEM BACK.
IT'S CATCH AND RELEASE.
AND WHAT HAPPENS HERE
IN GOSPEL FISHING
IS THAT WE'RE CAUGHT
SO THAT WE CAN BE RELEASED,
NOT FROM HIM BUT FROM
EVERYTHING ELSE THAT BINDS US,
FROM ANYTHING ELSE
THAT HAS TRAPPED US
HE CATCHES US
SO THAT WE CAN BE FREE.
SO THAT WE CAN BE FREE!
IT'S NET FOR LIFE,
NOT FOR DEATH.
THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE
OF WORDS HERE:
FROM NOW ON
YOU WILL BE CATCHING MEN.
FROM NOW ON.
WOULD YOU JUST WRITE DOWN
THOSE THREE WORDS:
FROM NOW ON.
WOULD SOMEONE SAY THEM
OUT LOUD?
Audience: FROM NOW ON.
Beth: I WANT YOU TO SAY IT
SO LOUD THAT I COULD HEAR YOU
ALL THE WAY UP HERE.
Audience: [Louder] FROM NOW ON.
Beth: FROM NOW ON.
ANYBODY WISH YOU COULD HAVE
A FROM NOW ON KIND OF WORD?
I MEAN, LIKE ONE? ONE? ONE?
BECAUSE THE THING OF IT IS
WE KNOW THAT
ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES
THAT SO MUCH OF WHAT
WE'RE GOING THROUGH IS PROCESS.
WE KNOW THAT HE WHO BEGAN
A GOOD WORK IN US WILL BE
FAITHFUL TO COMPLETE IT.
WE KNOW THAT WE ARE IN
A LONG PROCESS HERE
THAT BEGAN WITH OUR SALVATION
AND WILL NOT END UNTIL
HE REDEEMS ALL THINGS,
UNTIL WE'VE SEEN HIM
FACE-TO-FACE AND HE HAS
BROUGHT IN THE DAY OF THE LORD.
SO, UNTIL THEN WE KNOW
THAT THIS IS A PROCESS
AND WE'RE IN A PROGRESSION.
WE'RE MOVING FROM
GLORY TO GLORY AS
WE REFLECT HIS COUNTENANCE.
WE KNOW ALL OF THAT.
IT'S ONE OF THE MOST
IMPORTANT THINGS TO UNDERSTAND
IS THAT ONCE WE ARE SAVED
THEN THERE IS THE MATTER
OF COMPLETION, THAT HE
COMPLETES WHAT HE STARTS.
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL THING!
WE GET THAT!
BUT JUST EVERY NOW AND THEN
WOULDN'T YOU JUST LIKE
FOR SOMETHING TO BE DONE?
DONE!
MAYBE THE GRIP
OF THAT ADDICTION.
WOULDN'T IT BE WONDERFUL
IF JUST LIKE FINALLY,
IT WAS DONE?
DO YOU KNOW WHAT I THINK
HE'D SAY TO US?
"YOU CAN HAVE IT.
COME FOLLOW ME. COME FOLLOW ME.
COME FOLLOW ME!"
OUR FREEDOM IS
IN FOLLOWING HIM.
THAT FOR EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US
THAT WOULD JUST GO WITH HIM,
JUST GO WITH HIM,
WHERE HE LEADS,
WE'D HAVE A FROM NOW ON.
SOME THINGS
REALLY WOULD GET TO BE
THAT WAS THEN, THIS IS NOW.
COME AND FOLLOW ME.
EVERY ENCOUNTER
YOU EVER HAVE WITH HIM,
EVERYTHING HE'S EVER
CAUGHT YOU IN THE MIDDLE OF
WAS A SAVIOR AND REDEEMER WHO
LOVED YOU, CALLED YOUR NAME,
AND SAID,
"YOU CANNOT GET RID OF ME
NO MATTER HOW YOU SAY
'DEPART FROM ME'"
AND THE MIRACLE OF IT IS
THAT OVER HIS HEAD,
IN THE HEAVENLIES
WHERE WE CANNOT SEE HIM
ARE SERAPH FLYING AND CRYING,
"HOLY, HOLY, HOLY!"
THIS ONE CANNOT DO YOU WRONG!
HE CANNOT BETRAY YOU.
HE CANNOT FORSAKE YOU.
HE CANNOT ABANDON YOU.
HE WILL NOT LEAVE YOU!
NO! HE'S NOT GOING TO DEPART,
SO TODAY, FROM NOW ON,
CEASE TRYING TO GET RID
OF JESUS!
BECAUSE HE'S NOT LEAVING
WITHOUT YOU!
James: WHAT AN AMAZING TRUTH.
NO MATTER HOW FAR WE WANDER
-- YOU KNOW THAT SHEEP
WHEN THEY GOT 99 SAFE,
THE SHEPHERD, SECURE,
HE'S AFTER ONE.
BETTY, EVERY TIME WE'VE
DRIFTED, AND I'VE DRIFTED.
SOMETIMES I THINK MAYBE
YOU HAVEN'T, BUT I HAVE
AND AS I HAVE MADE
THESE MISTAKES, NOT ONLY
DO I HAVE THE PRAYERS
OF SOMEONE LIKE YOU
AND OTHERS WHO CARE BUT
THE LORD WAS AFTER ME.
HE'S AFTER US IN THE DEEPEST
DITCH OR PIT THAT ANYONE
CAN THROW US IN OR WE FALL IN
OR WE DIG OUR WAY INTO
AND HE WANTS TO LIFT US UP.
HE WANTS TO LIFT OUR NATION
UP OUT OF A DITCH OF DEBT
AND DEPRESSION AND DEPRAVITY
AND I THINK DECEPTION
IN MANY WAYS.
I WANT TO SHOW YOU
IN THIS LAST WEEK OF
THE EMPHASIS, I THINK SOMETHING
THAT IS AS MOVING
AS ANYTHING YOU'LL EVER SEE.
AS A MATTER OF FACT, I DON'T
EVEN THINK I COULD EVEN
BEGIN TO SET IT UP RIGHT
BECAUSE THE EMOTION
AND THE REALITY IS SO GREAT.
IT MOVED ME BEYOND WORDS --
AND BETTY.
I WANT YOU TO WATCH
BECAUSE I CAN PROMISE YOU
IF YOU'VE EVER SEEN SOMETHING
THAT NEEDED ATTENTION
AND YOU SAY, I WISH I COULD
DO THE EXACT RIGHT THING,
WELL, YOU CAN.
AND YOU'RE GOING TO WANT
TO WATCH AND THEN YOU'LL WANT
TO DO THE RIGHT THING
AND YOU ARE THE ANSWER.
YOU'RE THE SOLUTION.
YOU'RE THE JOYFUL SOLUTION
TO A GREAT CHALLENGE.
WATCH CLOSELY.
James: BETTY AND I WATCHED
A MOTHER NAMED PICH LOSE
ONE OF HER LITTLE BABIES,
HER CHILDREN AND NOW SHE HAD
ANOTHER ONE SHE DIDN'T KNOW
IF SHE WAS GOING TO LOSE HIM.
WHEN BETTY AND I SAW IT,
WE SAID WE'RE GOING TO DRILL
A WELL FOR HER VILLAGE.
WE'RE GOING TO PAY THE WHOLE
WELL FOR THAT VILLAGE.
IT IS $4800;
THAT'S THE AVERAGE COST.
WE STARTED ASKING GOD
YEARS AGO,
PROBABLY 20 YEARS AGO,
WELLS FOR $3600 AT THAT TIME.
I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG
THEY'LL STAY $4800 BUT THAT
IS STILL THE AVERAGE NOW.
WITH THE RISING
PETROLEUM COSTS, I DON'T
KNOW HOW LONG IT WILL STAY.
BUT WE SAID, "LORD, WE WOULD
LIKE TO DRILL A WELL."
WE ASKED GOD -- I CAN'T
TELL YOU HOW HE BLESSED US,
JUST THE BLESSING OF DOING IT.
IT WOULDN'T HAVE MATTERED
WHAT WE HAD TO DO TO DO IT
BUT THE WAY HE BLESSES
TO ENABLE US TO KEEP DOING IT
AND NOW THAT, AND I'VE GOT
TO BE HONEST, BETTY,
I ALMOST FIND MYSELF SAYING,
"BOY, I JUST WANT TO
DO ANOTHER ONE RIGHT NOW."
BUT HERE'S WHAT I FEEL
I'M SUPPOSED TO SAY,
I THINK THERE IS
SOMEBODY WATCHING WHO SAID,
"I CAN COVER THAT VILLAGE
AND MAYBE ONE NEXT TO IT."
OR SOME OF YOU SAY, "I THINK
THAT MOTHER IS REPRESENTING
A LOT OF VILLAGES."
WE'VE ALREADY TARGETED 350;
I WISH IT WOULD BE 550.
I PRAY TODAY,
"GOD, BEFORE I DIE,
AS LONG AS I'M ON THIS EARTH,
WOULD YOU LET ME LIVE TO SEE
THAT I CAN HELP INSPIRE
FRESH CLEAN WATER
TO EVERY VILLAGE
AND EVERY PERSON
ON THIS PLANET?"
THAT'S A DREAM --
THAT'S A DESIRE --
I BELIEVE IT IS GOD'S DESIRE.
WHAT DO YOU FEEL
WHEN YOU SEE THAT?
Betty: AS I LISTENED TO HER,
HER PLEA WAS,
"MOTHERS... OTHER MOTHERS,
HELP ME HELP MY BABY."
SHE'S LOST ONE CHILD.
CHILDREN ARE SO DEAR
TO THE HEART OF MOTHERS.
WE FEEL THEIR PAIN.
AND I CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE,
JAMES, AS SHE HAD TO WATCH
HER BABY DIE LIKE THAT
SIMPLY BECAUSE
THEY HAD DIRTY WATER.
NOW SHE'S GOT HER OTHER CHILD
SHE'S AFRAID FOR.
SHE DOESN'T WANT
TO LOSE THIS BABY.
WE CAN HELP.
WE CAN REACH OUT
AND MAKE THAT DIFFERENCE.
JAMES, I KNOW MY HEART
IS WITH YOURS, I WANT TO HELP
THIS MOTHER BUT THERE ARE SO
MANY MORE MOTHERS THAT NEED
OUR HELP WITH THEIR CHILDREN.
PLEASE HELP US DRILL
THE WATER WELLS!
James: THE WAY WE MEET
THE NEED IS EACH ONE OF US
DO WHAT WE CAN.
NOT EVERYONE CAN DRILL A WELL.
IF YOU CAN I BELIEVE YOU WILL.

BANKCARD, USE IT LIKE A CHECK
AND SAY, "HERE'S THE WELL."
OR WRITE A CHECK, MAKE IT

IT'S IN THE MAIL.
GO ONLINE, LifeToday.org

REMEMBER THIS, SOMETIMES
YOU SAY, "I CAN'T DO THAT."
WELL, WHAT CAN YOU DO?
COULD YOU GIVE $1200 AND PRAY
THREE PEOPLE JOIN YOU OR $2400
AND PRAY ONE PERSON JOINS?
OR COULD YOU GIVE $48
DURING THIS LAST WEEK
TO COMPLETE
THE TARGETED 350 WELLS?
COULD YOU SAY, "I'LL GIVE $48
AND GIVE TEN PEOPLE WATER?"
-- TEN CHILDREN LIKE
SHE WAS REFERRING TO?
$48 WILL DO THAT.
$144 WILL GIVE
30 PEOPLE WATER.
WOULD YOU DO THAT? PLEASE?
RIGHT NOW,
I KNOW YOU'RE PRAYING
BUT WOULD YOU PUT FEET
