Hello and welcome to the defrain Ministries Legacy Partner Podcast. We are excited to share this update with you.
- [00:10]
B
Praise God. Welcome back to the Legacy Partner Podcast. And, Morgan, we have a special guest. David, it is good to have you with us. And, you know, if people watch enough, they know they see you all over the place. So it's just. We're so excited to have you. And so, Morgan, tell them about where we just came from, what's been going on.
- [00:31]
C
We have. We're wrapping up. I say summer, not the heat, but the summer months. And we were very busy this summer, traveling, of course. We had our camp meeting, and then that was coming off the two miracle crusades. And then Pastor Nancy, she was at the Cassis Church in Ohio, and we did the convention. Brother Copeland, Southwest Convention, but just with dufresne Ministries. I was looking at this. She was with Pastor Chip and Candace Brim. She did Champions for Christ. We were in Merced with Grant doing the youth conference.
- [01:10]
B
Yep.
- [01:10]
C
We ministered, all of us, at the youth, her and I, at the youth, 1440 at the convention. And we just came from Clarksville doing a youth Clarksville.
- [01:18]
B
Yeah.
- [01:18]
C
We've touched all ages, but especially the youth. I feel like this summer. And I love it. Cause mom, she'll go anywhere God tells her to go. But that believers convention, she did the two main services. She was in the main entourage room, did two services. And my favorite, just the overall service. I absolutely loved watching her call those people forward that had needs. And her and Ms. Carolyn and Ms. Kathy and Pastor Kathy and Bill Johnson and the Hankins, they ministered to the people. And it under that instruction of the Holy Ghost that came from that flow of that anointing, that healing anointing. And I loved watching that. You were there. You were playing.
- [02:09]
A
It was so powerful.
- [02:10]
C
It was power. You had to be in the room. I. I'm sure some of it translated, but to be in the room, I'm.
- [02:16]
A
Hoping it translated because it was liquid fire.
- [02:18]
C
It was.
- [02:19]
A
It was amazing.
- [02:19]
C
And to carry over partners. And we have time. Our ladies meeting coming up. I had people. We were, of course, standing on this side. There were people who wanted to get to Ms. Carolyn Savelle. They wanted Ms. Carolyn to lay hands on them. And I love that because she has so much to bring. And she's coming here for our annual ladies meeting along with Ms. Pat Harrison and Ms. Jeannie Caldwell. But to watch these senior saints with these tremendous, strong anointings, healing anointings, powerful anointings, and they all ministered together, it was really If I could say to partnership actually was able to get us there. It costs a lot to get the whole team. You knew how many of us. Everywhere you look, there's a amount of.
- [03:06]
A
Staff you take to a conference like that. I don't know if the people realize, like, do you even know a number numerically of your staff that goes to that?
- [03:17]
B
I think it's. Yeah, it's what, almost close to 20, I think when it's about 20, and the hotel rooms and the food and all that. But, David, what all that is for is for people to be delivered.
- [03:31]
A
Right.
- [03:31]
B
And so you can't put a price on that necessarily. But all of that is so. So when mom gets up, the power of God is there. And that's what the staff was doing. They were preparing away. Not just that, but they're getting the word out in the book table. That thing was going 247 where I saw the response. Buying. Buying the product. And, well, remember the first.
- [03:53]
C
Oh, you hadn't gotten there. You and Tony hadn't gotten there. But the first. First day we arrived, we drove mom down. We had been staying at the house there in Texas. And she comes in, she goes, I'm gonna walk over and see the book table. Grant and the team had so beautifully set up. It was amazing. And we walk in and she's looking at everything. And of course, people are there pre registering. One person walks up and you know when one person walks up and she takes time, if you have how many hours.
- [04:24]
A
Hours.
- [04:25]
C
Grant had to do the heavy. The heavy work and cut the line off because it was for an hour and a half, an impromptu meet and greet. But that is Pastor Nancy. It is about what he just said, the help and deliverance of the people. And we're just in the pre setting up and the registration, and she saw that. I mean, people had testimonies. They didn't just want to get pictures. They want to share what the word preached has done in their life. And I sat and listened over and over to the testimonies of the people.
- [05:00]
A
I think it was what you said just a moment ago. It's not just the fact that Pastor Nancy's on TV and here's a Persona or a person that's on TV they want to see up close. This ministry represents getting the power to the people, the presence to the people. People show up in the meetings. And I think this is what you were referring to, particularly in the second service that she preached Southwest. I gauge everything by two things. The presence and the response of the people.
- [05:32]
B
Yeah.
- [05:32]
A
And it's one thing just to teach and preach saying amen and everybody go to lunch.
- [05:37]
B
Yeah.
- [05:38]
A
But when a minister or a ministry does whatever is necessary to transfer that anointing, a touch, so to speak, a personal contact to those people, people so hunger for not just the presence in a corporate way, but what you said, lay hands on the people, minister to the people. And that's what, you know, if people could understand the partnership part of this, that is making it possible for Pastor Nancy or the team to reach these people in a real time, real life, hand to hand, flesh to flesh, so to speak.
- [06:20]
B
Yes.
- [06:20]
A
Not just ministering on air, but touching the people. And that's what I saw at Southwest.
- [06:25]
B
Yes.
- [06:26]
A
That's what I see in the other meetings. I see too, hunger of the people. But then you guys and Pastor Nancy don't just teach a message and run out the door. She ministers for hours.
- [06:40]
C
The people, Jesus, because. And then later the disciples, because they needed a touch.
- [06:46]
A
Yeah, that's right.
- [06:48]
C
And I think this ministry has understood. And it really started with his dad many, so many years ago, because it was his dad's testimony of needing a touch. I'm an alcoholic. My life is falling apart, my marriage is falling apart, and I don't have anywhere to turn. And he so desperately needed a touch. And it was in that testimony that he would talk about. If you've never heard him give his testimony, he finally attends church and a Filipino couple stands up and has a tongue's interpretation. Well, what was that? That's. That's what we saw at Southwest, the leading of the spirit, directing the service. And he got instantly said. The hair on the back of his neck stood up. And he said, I knew it was for me, because they said, now is the time of salvation. He literally went to that service to get Billy Frazier off his back, to keep him from inviting him anymore. It was just, hey, I'll go as a courtesy. And the power of God met him. And so how many people still are needing a touch? And they. They don't need religion. They don't realize it's the touch that they're after. And she facilitates that in those services is for people to have a touch from God.
- [08:02]
A
I think this, you know, in the case of your father, in that instance that you're referring to, that's when he was born again.
- [08:10]
B
Right.
- [08:11]
A
So in that instance, an unbeliever is becoming a believer, which is wonderful. But I want to point this out. This was out the Southwest Believers Conference, and I saw hundreds, I don't know if there would have been close to, I don't know, 5, 6, 700 people just jam the front. I saw Pastor Nancy, just for a second, knowing her hopefully as well as I do go like, how are we going to do this? And then she had a leading of the Holy Ghost, which I love. That's my favorite thing. You know, just the spontaneity and the instantaneous. It seems to be a catalyst for the power. I want to hammer that these are people that have been coming to the believers conferences for 1, 2, 5, 10, or 20 years. And yet a minister to take the time to minister to them personally, it's meeting the needs of the people.
- [09:10]
B
That's right.
- [09:10]
A
And that's what this ministry is known for, for let's meet the needs of the people. Not just the lost, but the ongoing needs of the believer. And that's what impressed me so much.
- [09:22]
B
With, you know, I'm thinking about the lady with the issue of blood, and it says that she spent. How much did she spend, David?
- [09:28]
C
All.
- [09:29]
B
All sickness is expensive.
- [09:32]
C
It's expensive.
- [09:32]
B
It's. To be sick is expensive. And one thing that mom does is she goes around proclaiming that Jesus is the healer. Not just that, but she has an anointing on her life. So when the partners give, David, they are, they are substituting healing. That, that when people have something to say. When Nancy Dufresne shows up, I'm gonna be healed. And that's due to the partnership. When they give, they help her get from A to B to fulfill that.
- [10:00]
C
They're funding healing.
- [10:02]
B
They're funding healing.
- [10:03]
C
They're funding some and, and someone else.
- [10:05]
B
A lot of our partners have been healed, maybe under mom or dads or somewhere else that they. Of where they're to receive that healing. I've. I've had times in my life, David, where I was going through a physical situation and I thought if a doctor came up and said, if you give me X amount of money, I can heal you like that. And I thought I would give it. I would give all the money I have at that moment because the sickness is so real. And one thing the partners are able to do, they fulfill that. So when mom shows up, they've said, we're going to help you get healed. We're going to help you receive the revelation to stay healed. And that to me is priceless.
- [10:49]
C
And that's a huge key. The revelation. To keep their healing.
- [10:53]
B
To keep their healing.
- [10:54]
A
Yeah. Because in this ministry, you've got not only the instantaneous miracles that are happening for someone that Needs. I got to have a miracle. It's life or death right now. But then you have a voice and you have the teaching side that teaches people how to hang on to their healing. How to resist the devil.
- [11:16]
B
Yes.
- [11:16]
A
What to do if the symptoms.
- [11:17]
B
Yes.
- [11:18]
A
Come back.
- [11:19]
B
Yes.
- [11:19]
A
But I think, Stephen and Morgan, it's so important for your partners, the partners of this ministry, to understand being one that has watched now for over two years, really up close, that if Pastor Nancy, if I can just say it very bluntly, if she was money motivated or if money was the top priority, then, number one, we wouldn't go to half the places that we go.
- [11:43]
B
That's right. That's right.
- [11:44]
A
You wouldn't do that.
- [11:45]
B
You wouldn't do that.
- [11:45]
A
You would take the largest invitations. And number two, if you're money motivated, you just pack your calendar with meetings to supply your own needs, which in a traditional way of thinking, money is facilitated by meetings.
- [12:01]
B
Right.
- [12:02]
A
I have watched Pastor Nancy wait and just leave an open calendar. Where is the Holy Ghost going to send me, number one? Number two, I've watched her. I'm thinking of a couple of places right now. If there was a hundred people there, I would be speaking evangelistically.
- [12:24]
B
I would be right.
- [12:26]
A
You know, I would be exaggerating. There were not 100 people there.
- [12:29]
B
Yeah.
- [12:30]
A
My point is this. How can you do that?
- [12:33]
B
Yeah.
- [12:33]
A
How can Pastor Nancy and the staff and what it takes to run this. How can you go to places like that? I know good and well the people do the best they can. The churches do the best they can. They do their best.
- [12:47]
C
But God tells her to go. And that's what we love about her so much, is watching her. I, I, I work with her on her schedule every year. We sit down and I, I pay attention, you know, and we talk about different places. And I have just, in the last two years, I have known of large churches that she said, you know what? They've asked me? God's not telling me to go there. God's not. God's not leading me to go there. And she said so. So I have to say no. Size doesn't mean anything. The size of ministry does not mean any. She honors all ministries, so it's not a dishonor or, you know, oh, you know, you can't have me. It's not like that. It's the skillfulness, same in a service, which is what we were just talking about, the skillfulness of going. That's not where I'm supposed to be. And sure enough, there was another place God came last. Minute somebody, a pastor had a need, a pastor called her and said, can you come and help with this? Or she'll say, I sense I need you. Coming up the prison. She's going with Mike Barber into the prisons now.
- [14:02]
A
Right there. That right there.
- [14:04]
C
But she.
- [14:04]
A
How much money is that going to supply?
- [14:06]
C
Right, right.
- [14:07]
A
You think the prisoners are going to like ten grand? Things are coming.
- [14:11]
C
And so. And that goes back to. We gave. We were able to bless Mike Barber's ministry significantly last year.
- [14:19]
B
Yeah.
- [14:21]
C
From deframe Ministries. I mean, it was a. I'm not bragging on the ministry. I'm saying we were able to get behind this man who is literally reaching where no. And you better be anointed to go do what he's doing. And so we're. There's this exchange all the time with the leading of God, the obedience. We watch her obey God. I don't care that people are telling me, why are you going there? The spirit of God said, go there. And so partnership allows her to either leave it open and wait to hear from God or go to the out of the way places or go to other countries or go to the prisons. She is not controlled or paid for by anyone or anything. She is simply led by the spirit of God.
- [15:09]
A
My minister said it like this. If it's my plan, I pay. If it's God's plan, he pays. However, his plan is partnership that allows the voice, the messenger. How can they hear without a preacher? How can the preacher go unless he be sent? One thing I have learned from Brother Copeland now for 32 years is the one that sends, which would be the partner gets the same reward as the one that goes. You know, no matter where they go, if you go, it's as if you went.
- [15:43]
B
Yeah.
- [15:43]
A
So you go by. So you know. Or sending. Yeah, but I, you know, here again. How long have I been doing meetings with you guys? More than two years.
- [15:55]
B
Yeah, it's over two years.
- [15:57]
A
I. I've watched you guys being now full time in ministry since I was 19 and before that my dad was a pastor. And I'll be 64 in two days. But the way you handle the finances. Two things impress me. You handle the finances, maximizing the seed of the people. But you're not stingy and you don't. You won't shortcut on quality. And that is such. It's an anointing. It's an art. I've watched you really honor the seed of the people and maximize, if I can use that word, maximize the seed without being stingy. And I don't know if the partners know this or not, but right at or a little above 30% of what is given into this ministry goes back out to other ministries, such as Mike Barber.
- [16:55]
B
Right.
- [16:56]
A
Or other people.
- [16:56]
C
And all that's a document, all that.
- [16:58]
A
So the seed doesn't stop here.
- [16:59]
C
No.
- [17:00]
A
It's going all over the world.
- [17:01]
C
It really is. Yeah. We were able to sow seed when we were overseas last year to one of the churches.
- [17:08]
B
They have a building program.
- [17:10]
C
We were able to put a check that came from different ministries helping because we're fully funded. She's going to obey God. I think with partners, it's whether or not. No pressure, but you want to obey God because we're going to obey God and he will fund us however he has to do it.
- [17:28]
A
Yeah, but you don't want the Lord to have to bypass you.
- [17:30]
C
I don't. I don't want to be bypassed. I don't think he's out there. Want to be bypassed with what he's doing.
- [17:36]
A
I don't want him to have to go, well, I tried to use you, but you didn't listen or you didn't obey. So I've got to go to somebody else. I don't want. I don't want to miss an opportunity. Yeah, I, I just. If that makes sense.
- [17:50]
B
Yes.
- [17:51]
C
We don't want to. I know for us, at the beginning of the year, God spoke to me and said, it's a season of sowing. And I thought, well, God, we've always, you know, we've always been. So as we've been partners with many ministries here. And I, I said, well, then I'm upping. I'm. I'm increasing our partnership. I don't want to just stay. If the ministry, too, is going to another level, which we saw very clearly at the beginning of 20. 20, 25, I want to be an investor, I guess, is what I'm trying to say. I want to be an investor. We wanted to be investors in that next level by us increasing our seed. And so we believe, of course, with our faith for our partners. I was thinking this morning when we were talking about this, when they do so or when they increase their partnership or when they become a partner, immediately our faith goes into action on their behalf. That's one of the things that here with the staff, with the Dufresne family, there's an immediate response from us we may not know because we don't look at. And this was something I wanted to spotlight based on our conversation earlier. We don't look at who gives what. So when we're out, we meet, you know, Joe and Sally. We don't look at. Oh, Joe and Sally are monthly partners for X amount of dollars.
- [19:09]
A
I get that.
- [19:10]
C
We don't do that. Every partner is the same as every other partner. There's no special treatment.
- [19:17]
B
You call it vip.
- [19:18]
C
Vip. I mean, there's ministries and there's special seating for people who've, you know, bought their way in.
- [19:26]
B
Yeah.
- [19:27]
C
You know, pay a price at the beginning. An annual fee. I mean, this is real, David. This is real. This really got me this weekend. And they pay a fee or a quarterly fee, and you get special individualized treatment from that minister. Yeah, we don't do that. So every partner is the same, and every partner receives our faith equivalent, you know, equally. You're all. You're all the same to us in that you have sacrificed something of yours.
- [19:58]
B
We would say the $1 and the thousands of dollars, all of them are precious. They're all precious because I believe that all of them do their best.
- [20:06]
C
Yeah.
- [20:07]
B
And if that's your best, then that's precious. I mean, that's. That's just.
- [20:11]
C
And Mom's not looking. She's. She's never asked people. Oh, well, how much you. And she doesn't look.
- [20:17]
B
She's never looked at.
- [20:18]
C
She never looked at the ties and offering when she was the pastor.
- [20:21]
B
She doesn't look at nothing.
- [20:22]
A
No. Because it can skew.
- [20:23]
B
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- [20:25]
C
That's important. I feel like for our partners to know that she is not looking. So when you. You're not in a category, a giving category.
- [20:33]
A
The. When you said that, my mind went to. There was. This has been. I'm not going to say the name, but this has been several months ago, and I. I saw the advertising for a meeting, and it was. It was. I thought, well, those are good people. And then I just glanced down and you paid by what section of seating? And then, you know, to really get the. The upfront deal, that, of course, was. I thought, well, am I going to a concert with Madonna?
- [21:01]
B
What is this?
- [21:01]
A
I mean, what do I have to pay? Like, you know, that amount to get on the front? What does the balcony cost me?
- [21:07]
B
Right.
- [21:07]
A
And then, you know, there was what you referred to for personal ministry. And I think the partners need to understand the purity of Pastor Nancy's heart. And all of you.
- [21:19]
B
She.
- [21:19]
A
She charges nothing.
- [21:20]
C
Nothing.
- [21:21]
A
She doesn't ask for anything. She doesn't require anything.
- [21:27]
C
Churches will naturally say, we'll pay for a hotel room. We'll pay they don't. She doesn't ask for the fuel. She asked for a fuel. She says, two airline tickets if you're gonna pay. And I have seen her over and over and over again, and she'll say, you know what? I have it in my heart. I think that's a difficulty. I'll cover that.
- [21:45]
B
There was a year, David, I don't know if you know this. I don't know. It's about five, seven years ago.
- [21:50]
C
Yeah.
- [21:51]
B
She said this year, the Lord told me every church I go to to give the money back. Every church that year.
- [21:58]
A
I was in a few of those in the green room after the service. Phenomenal service. I'm thinking of one in California right now. Pastor handed her the envelope and she took it and she put her hand on it and she prayed and she handed it. Right.
- [22:14]
B
But see, that's something my mom wouldn't say, but you and me can sit here.
- [22:18]
A
But I've seen it.
- [22:19]
B
Right. But what I'm saying is the partnership was able to fulfill whatever that cost to really do the meeting. But not just that. She gave it back to the church because she wanted to tell God, you're my supply. You're my supply. And the partners help to do that. And it's just so amazing.
- [22:37]
C
And she doesn't pick up meetings for money.
- [22:39]
B
She doesn't do it for money. I mean, it just. That's just the way it is.
- [22:43]
A
No, because if I understand it correctly, like, there are so many invitations by the hundreds that are sitting there waiting. That's my point. If you considered your self or your meetings to be your source, then you just boom, boom, boom. You know, light it up, man. Just go, go, go, go, go, go. But in that, Pastor Nancy's M.O. is number one. I wouldn't even be bringing my best if I'm exhausted, if I'm so tired. Brother Hagin said, Olivia, it is very difficult if you're exhausted for the anointing to even flow through you. So this is important. Partners, she has to be refreshed. You know, it takes a lot of intake privately to then give out publicly. The partners make it possible.
- [23:40]
C
They do, they do.
- [23:41]
A
For Pastor Nancy to follow that, the pace of grace, the tempo of the Holy Ghost, get refreshed. So you have something to give when you go, but you have to have that mindset, number one. Number two, the partners provide that space.
- [24:00]
B
Yes.
- [24:01]
C
And then things here can keep going. I was thinking about the 24 Hour Live. Of course, it's continually going, but it takes a lot to get the services Together, get them edited, get. And we kind of look at what would be good for the people, what's going to feed the people to put on that 24 hour life. I'm just thinking of that as an example. Well, if she was driven by money, she'd go, I'd have to go out. I need to be preaching. Because even if I'm. I'm not preaching, it'll loom. Like, I need to be funding.
- [24:31]
B
Yeah.
- [24:31]
C
As we would call the machine people call it.
- [24:34]
B
Like Jesse says, you got to go beat the bushes.
- [24:36]
C
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you got to go beat them. So she never thinks like, oh, I have to go do that. God will supply, you know, for the equipment that we need for these new projects, whether it's the live, whether it's TV equipment, whether it's different things. She looks to God as her source and she can go out. I need to rest because I have these meetings coming up.
- [24:57]
A
Right.
- [24:58]
C
And partnership facilitates things. Running at home, her getting ready for the next place of ministry. It's always touching into some aspect of getting that word.
- [25:10]
B
There was a testimony, and then we'll tell about the upcoming meetings. There was a testimony that you told me about the last time we were in Clarksville. Yes, tell that just real quick.
- [25:22]
C
Okay. So we had gone last year to the Luffman's church. You've been there, Love them. Precious people. And they we'd never met. He had never met them. And he just said that was around the time he started talking about God, dealing with them, him, about ministering to children with down syndrome and autism, a diagnosis that was basically incurable by the ME medical groups. And so that was the first place. And they just said, do what you want. You know, here your mom and dad have been coming for, you know, seem like 15, 16, 17 years to that church, I think maybe a couple decades. And they said, you know what we've loved what your parents, their boldness. Do what you want. So he gets up and he says, you know, God's been dealing with me to lay hands on, is the whole front member. The whole front filled up.
- [26:14]
B
There's a lot of kids up, a lot of kids up there, and people brought the. The claws, the claws and all those things.
- [26:19]
C
And so I believe Rachel had said it was either their head usher, someone kind of in their church and leadership, had a child that was severely autistic. Didn't speak, didn't touch. You couldn't touch them. We come back this last year or a couple weeks ago. Last week.
- [26:36]
B
Last Sunday.
- [26:37]
C
Last Sunday. And they Said since you came here, there a year ago, that child now talks in full sentences, gives hugs, looks to touch. So a total in one year, that child has made such a significant turn. But again that we go. We don't. We go where God sends us, just like she does. But partners actually also helps send us as well, help keep things as we're gone going here. And that's just one testimony from the road.
- [27:15]
B
There's a lot, but that was the most current one that I've heard. And the reason I say that is because there's no price you can put on that.
- [27:22]
A
No, no, you can't pay for that.
- [27:24]
B
You can't. And they're. They've gotten their child back through the anointing. Not just that, but the sermons that were preached to reveal to them to don't give up. I've met so many people where their children, where the parents gave up.
- [27:36]
A
Right.
- [27:37]
B
Because they just felt like nobody. And they said, since you guys came, we know that we can keep on because they've dealt with it for so many years that they know we shouldn't give up. And that's so important.
- [27:49]
C
So if you gave a seed of $5, $10, and that was your best, that's what God told you. Just know that the world calls that pennies. I. I don't even know. $5 could be considered Starbucks money. That's what your dad. Starbucks money. I'm telling you, that $5 that you sowed in the last month helped to send Pastor Nancy and the team to the convention, helped to send you and I to Clarksville, helped to fund these miracles. We're not paying for them, but we are funding this message. We are getting. It costs money. So I don't care if it was a dollar. You can know your dollar. Absolutely. It was part of that child's.
- [28:38]
B
Yep, 100. All of them.
- [28:39]
C
And so what happened for that child and for those at the convention that we saw her ministering to and we got testimonies back from that already. What we saw and what we've seen.
- [28:50]
B
Yeah.
- [28:51]
C
Just know that you can say, I take for my life, I sowed and now back into my life is going to come back into the healing provision. What I funded is returned back to me, really, in multiplied fashion. That's.
- [29:07]
B
Well, let's tell them where our partners are and where we want to get to our first stage.
- [29:13]
C
Tell them where you want to give the number because we had a new number.
- [29:17]
A
Oh, hang on.
- [29:19]
B
Yeah, it's at the bottom there. Okay.
- [29:22]
A
We're up to 3,800 partners right now. And this is the most exciting part. I think just in the last, since the beginning, the last eight months, there's been a 30% increase. Increase in partnership. So it shows the momentum.
- [29:38]
B
It does.
- [29:39]
A
It shows. I mean, there's the God side of that, that we're gaining ground and people are realizing, hey, yeah, something's up, let's get in on it. But I love that, you know, you want to invest in something that's going and growing.
- [29:52]
B
It is not. Tell them where, where, where. Our first stage where God told you that we.
- [29:57]
C
50,000.
- [29:58]
B
50,000 for 50.
- [29:59]
C
Brother Jesse was here. He was preaching. He was standing right in front of me. It was two years ago. And I heard. And this was before we knew we were going to kind of take over partnership. That was not even in the picture. And I said, God, why are you telling. I didn't know what was coming. And I said to him, I said, I heard. 50,000, I believe for 50. That number at the time. Jess, you remember how many we partners we had at that time? A little over a thousand maybe, maybe. And I go, oh my gosh. Okay, give God a job. That's what he was preaching on. Give God a job in that message.
- [30:34]
B
So we're believing our next stop is 50,000. And then we'll, we'll, we'll. We'll go from there. But tell them the meetings where they can find mom next.
- [30:42]
C
Just real quick. She coming up. Let's see here. Just so you know, we have prayer conference.
- [30:50]
B
No ladies meeting in couple weeks.
- [30:53]
C
If you're watching this, since we just put it out, actually Bible school starts here. Can I say that? Can I make a plug for the Bible?
- [31:00]
B
This on the next page. Turn it.
- [31:02]
C
Can I make a vlog for the Bible school? Bible school starts. She is coming for the very first week. And then we transition right into. This is also something. And I know we want to wrap this up, the worship training school. Also we charge. What is it? 45. And I think that's just to help provide the people for lunch.
- [31:20]
A
That's lunch food.
- [31:21]
C
That's lunch money.
- [31:22]
A
Because you provide food.
- [31:23]
C
Because we provide food. But so much of the expense of that worship training is helped funded by defrain Ministries. So we've got that ladies conference in. We. We talked about that. We have a. The church is doing a youth and young adults. Oh my gosh. With pastor Chip Brim.
- [31:39]
A
Right.

C

We cannot miss it. It back there, but for sure. Well, David, what I. What we usually like to do is pray for our partners, whether just for healing, for. For. For finances, for deliverance. So if you would just go ahead and pray with them just real quick.
