Hello, I'm Gary Stearman. Welcome to Prophecy Watchers. I'm here with Bob Ulrich Armando Gonzalez to share a few thoughts with you. And we can't believe how long it's been since we've started prophecy watchers. 12 years. For seven years we've been in our present facilities and the Lord has blessed us beyond our wildest dreams. And our audience has continued to grow. And, you know, things are happening faster and faster. He didn't put us here because he wanted us just to sit and contemplate. We've got a lot to do, and we're going to be talking about it. And beginning with Mondo Gonzalez. Mondo, have you got a few words for us?

B
Sure do. I mean, thinking about all the busyness, I think about being here five years already and thinking about all the things. I stay busy, no doubt. And some of the things that we've been doing lately is we just got back from Colorado, which was a phenomenal conference. And again, if you didn't get a chance to join us or even to see all the programs, we have 28 messages that were given by, again, just some great people. Before I came to Prophecy Watchers, I had never gone to a prophecy conference, believe it or not. And so to come here and to be able to participate in the conferences and to meet people and to meet all the people that are supporters and watch what we do, it is truly phenomenal. On that note, just remind everybody that we have a couple things happening in addition to our recent conference, is that we've had people request and they desire to check off their bucket list items. And so we've done this before, which was a cruise to Alaska to see God's creation as well as to share with people the opportunities to see what's happening in the world. We have several speakers that are joining us in August of this year. And so if that's something that you've been interested in, see God's creation as well as hear God's word. There's a lot going on. And this leads us to our other big conference of the year, which is going to be even bigger than our Colorado, which is in Branson December 10th through 13th. But to me, this is such an opportunity to meet people. It's exciting. And as we know, things are happening super fast. But one of the things that was heavy on our heart when we were in Colorado, even even though it was a great conference, was we had to come back and there's some challenges that we've had recently. And so here we are. We're back and now we're facing them.

Yeah, that would be an understatement. We wish we could have stayed in Colorado forever. For multiple reasons. We knew we had something waiting for us when we got back that was bigger, bigger than us. By ourselves. For the last 12 years, we have really had smooth sailing at Prophecy Watchers. Every financial need has been met. Anything and everything we wanted to do. We walked through open doors, but God opened. It seemed like everything that happened was just positive. Television, radio, Roku Channel, the magazine, the Psalm 19 project, the podcast, the Signs and Seasons program, the Prophecy Answer man, all of these programs and projects that we've undertaken have been nothing but just a tremendous success. But something happened about four months ago that I want to share with you as we sit in this beautiful heated and air conditioned studio today, which is just a blessing from God that we just never stopped thanking him for. Four months ago, our entire H VAC system collapsed and gave up. The ghost after 28 years and we wound up having to replace the entire commercial system which just heated and cooled just this 4,000 square foot studio at a cost of around $38,000. Well, that's the bad news. The good news is you guys came to our rescue and you helped us. You provided literally not just the $38,000, but enough extra for us to replace the hot water heater in the building. And we just were singing everyone's praises and singing God's praises. Well, I wish that were the end of it because over the last three months we have watched our entire H Vac system, the whole rest of this building, one after another in rapid fire succession go underwater. Cracks in the heating system, leaks in the air conditioner systems, and as hard as it is to believe, this 28 year old equipment has all gone bad within a period of four months and the cost is around $150,000 to replace everything. Now I will say I met a wonderful couple at the Colorado Springs Conference. They made a very large donation which just made me feel like God was really looking out for us and really on our side, which reduced that amount. We've sent an email out recently and as of yesterday over $30,000 had been donated to help us replace not one, not two, not three, all four of our entire eight VAC systems. Gary, the entire building very soon will have all new equipment if God continues to come to our rescue. And if you guys can help us.

And Bob, the listeners and the viewers have been so generous over the years and I want to say thank you once again and I want to tell you we do trust the Lord, but we have a great need at this point to continue and to continue building this ministry, which has expanded at a rate that we can hardly believe. And so pray for us. Don't forget to put us in your daily prayers. Lift us up to the Lord. And by the way, we trust him. Believe me, we trust the Lord with all our heart. Thank you for watching, for sharing this with us and and again, keep us in your prayers. I'm Gary Stearman. You keep watching. We are.
