everyone the school welcome back i'm so excited to be here today i have my brother emanuel on the set with me emanuel and myself in my dad we usually go on the christmas project every year to romania and we're back and we're very just excited about everything that just happened over there and somehow i convinced my brother to be on the set with us and just thrilled to have him here because it's good to have another voice to explain what we see because he actually sees through a camera so he captures these moments for everyone to see through a camera and i'm curious you know many times when this is a go what goes on in his head when he goes in these homes or when he sees his kids seem special because he's a father now too has two kids and you know i mean i don't have any kids but i can only imagine because i treat his kids like almost like my own and i can only imagine what goes through his mind comparing the lifestyle that we live here in america compared to roma like i said many things that we do here john the term mysteries is not reach at christmas we like to expand that later down the road to many other things that we want to do here but the outreach at christmas has to do with with the children in the in the secluded areas of her mania where they're very poor where they don't have much all they have is their family or just a mom a home or just a data home and they just live their lives every day life with hardly anything in their homes we we have the opportunity go once again in the northern isn't how much it's grown since the soviet union fell down i believe i could say the proposal of the us through my eyes is like a least five to ten years behind for a mania so they're very it compared to remain now they're very very poor and the lord opened the trips because it's a reality check every time i go to think you know what we have here in america even though we grew up going to remain almost every year every year but no i have a family and to see those kids because it's not just happening i mean it's happening everywhere around the world and so now we we go into the schools right you know how to explain the situation in the schools you know you like france is one the schools i have a picture on my phone where they don't have a a few miles down and in the big city it's nice it's nice to get different country but it's the same same same country and people even there have no idea how poor their own people because we bring some people from oh you know to you know rebuild the palace right next to his neighbor's shack i don't understand why people don't help each other out i mean even here in america when we see somebody like even danny with his restaurant we we we work together our and everyone's for themselves you know and when they see us to give food and especially when we went to republican over there at the border you know they're you know they're saying well you bring in the food and open doors so far to get in there and bring the supplies because it's tough to go over the border and it's very republican and of also is there's two parties there you have the russians that want to ukrainian russians i want to come and take over and then you have to remain inside where these two want to hold on to remain in culture and everything and so there is that there's a whole lot of turbulence i can say in that country you know it's very unsettled i mean we one of the schools we visited in that area the director of the school was gone on her christmas break and when she heard that we wanted to come in to donate these little baggies that we put together she gets she comes in she goes no you can't donate she comes in from her break shoes off for christmas  comes back to the school and says no and somehow the lord made america and we we were in touch one of with one of the ministers of education there that helped us open the door and go in with carols christmas carols and then with  little message about christmas and then donate the bags there so but ok so how do we start really we started this time is quite different because many times we have a lot of snow ice this time we had snow right man yeah we've had sun which is very unusual which was great you know there was no literally not even rain maybe one or two days and little fog here and there it was great for traveling where we got each year and that's our goal to do more and more and more people to be involved and it worked out very well with the weather cooperated very very quick it was such a quick trip that within a week we would even have time  before and know that the church we visited during the holidays here in america many of you probably hear about this current crop of christmas project or we're all here go the mill taras again with this christmas trying to talk about but it's not just a christmas project you know we're a b t n to we we see an opportunity where we can we can go in and break the ice with some gifts with a postcard that we have in there with that with the floor with the salvation prayer on one side on the other side it says merry christmas and their language and where we were able to go into the school non christian kids donate these bags with you know different items we had chocolate we had two precious combs candy a little teddy bear and some half of the packages we had even a thousand we had a thousand new testaments we gave out besides this year so that was exciting because we didn't happen in that's very hard to get your hands on new testament so for the older kids we donated the new testament's two to two for them to start reading in and then you know somebody came from america to give it to us and look look what they gave us you know and that's how the church started last year two years ago two years ago where you know kids went home told their parents what happened and gave me this and they said wow i mean i want to  gifts for them at the schools we all also donate to the poorest family in each village a box or food of items of pantry items that they can have for the holidays and this year together with the church in english like germany we printed up again with them and we came up with the idea of actually clean the box together instead of just buying and giving them a hand full of sugar or flour and rice we put together they could together a box of items and each box would put some them is like gold in their hands and pasta besides all that we also for margarine like last year i mentioned to you here in america we take this for granted to have butter on our tables and  them to even have margarine on their tables it's something you know very very something very nice to have on their own for their family and besides all this we also put in some goodies for the kids there's some cookies  chocolate candy and also some juice for them to have you know just a little thing is that even our kids in america we buy them little juice boxes and you know how it is kids love this stuff and and then also we people were crying when they they received items like this and gifts from us and this only cost twelve or thirteen euro zone which converts over to fifteen dollars which is nothing you know nothing for anyone to put together and we're hoping for next project we can do more than this more than eighty boxes this is a just an idea of what we did and we pray that god you know brings in more support and more volunteers to help us out for the following year thank the lord open more doors in that area and we don't know what the lord has for this new company or mean we have a lot of ideas in our heads here at john alterman histories and i have a lot of ideas on share that much with them here because i'm his way in the sea of the lord want that's his will to do or not but we were very excited that this year we've i think this is a new goal for this was a new record two thousand packages to put together and we put this package together for hours by hand and we were able to donate them within three days to all the families besides the packages we also were able to work with our one of our churches that we partnered up every year in english to germany we worked we worked with them man again once again they have the heart to work with us again but this time they came with the idea to put together a box of pants or items and i believe we had approximately seventy boxes or eighty boxes eighty eighty box yes eighty boxes area live in more with the donation of food because we were able to put more in the box and hopefully this year we can have more opportunities like that to do the same thing again coming up you know it's a think everyone you know behind the scenes like me you know we were all a collect teddy bears and we're starting to talk to different local churches and different people that want to help us so it starts early you know it starts here in america with my mom and my my and my sister and us here trying to put them together to send them out there and then my dad trying to connect different you know churches here and there and so is this an ongoing project that continues over and over and over but you know it can get tiring but to us you know we're in the end  the the the project when we see what happens in the end it's more rewarding than to think about how tiring everything is so thank you again everyone and i'm so happy that we had another opportunity to share with you  like breaking through new and many area in our lives seeing people getting saved touched deliver and also we saw how people respond to projects we have last year and how the lord bless us with the very much need about the word of god the new modem that they never heard before the gospel in those area they never heard about cheaters well they heard about jesus and their swearing and cussing and all this stuff but now for they have about the gospel to read the word of god when we explore that area we go to new cd new villages which the gospel for the first time been brought in that area and people the listening even in the cold we saw signs and wonders follow the reverse and that's the most excited part because the holy spirit always follow the believer with signs and wonders and we we are nothing from ourselves we don't have anything else to give it to them gold and silver i don't have but what i have i give it to you and this is what we give to the people we give them the good news and  this three lady or st lady talking with him i think there was over seventy in all three of them and one of them was needed prayer and i said to her give me your hands and she extended her hands like this to me and i mean when she extended her hand she star crying and screaming and you know what happened with her and i said what happened and she said well for several years i  we know we are in the beginning of this year and twenty thousand is a year of a new beginning twenty seventeen was the year of jubilee and many of you and many of us we saw how god gave us a breakthrough in many i know the lord will give you another chance this year to started again it's never too late to started again every year is a year of of a new beginning and an hour live special dizzier twenty  interns talking about the gifts of the holy spirit nine plus nine is eighteen we have a double portion easier to be able to allow the holy spirit to work through us and to bring the gospel to the good news that's why i low for the whole year last year and i said and i'm going of says giving trust god's provision that means when you give to the lord you trust the lord he will give you more provision is that giving to the lord and thinking about now if you have less than your hands know you give it to the lord because you know the lord will increase whatever remain in your hand that's why i keep putting this and this mall on the lope which i send it out i i put it this and i i asked the people to ask the holy spirit to see what is in their heart to do and that's why if many of you are on our mail list and you receive these on the loop you don't give it to us you give it to the lord because god is the one who provides for you we do the same thing every time every month we we give and fate because we trust god's provision many times we don't see the money to be there in the beginning of the month or even in the middle of the month to cover the whole never let me down he always bring the provision what i need and i'm praying and this and this program the lord to give you provision power and protection easier to be able to be protected because you are going to experience a lot of things you will see last year you so many many things happening in the world many floods many earthquakes many many devastation going all over the world and that's just the beginning of we send that and and many new people wish they are a part of our ministry now so we go in churches and give it in their hands and this is what he said spreading the gospel feeding the hungry clothing the naked touching the innocent and we have asked the holy spirit what is inside of your heart to honor the lord god as a once your your money god once your obedience and i was reading today from watts would be overflow with the new wine and i was looking plenty safe storage places be filled plenty said will be filled with plenty this here i'll have plenty and my and your watch shall be overflowing with the new wine if you go at this this month because it's the beginning of the year and whatever the lord put in your heart god is looking to the obedience and not to the mount that lady which she came to the temple and jesus so her drawing those penny and that area in the temple and he said she gave more than anybody else you know why because she was a that's the that's the whole thing about the gospel is not another preacher asking for money it's not a test and not a evangelist asking for money it's cheesus which one and maybe this program is not  for for some of you which didn't like to hear this message but for those which was to hear this message this is the right channel that i places which you watching right now may be watching an internet and he went through the program and for years some of them others they are in our mail each other they are still not in the middle east but it was watching the program i prayed the whole you'd be to touch them but i now touch them from the crown over their head to the soles of their feet let everything what they watch to be blessed i prayed the blessing of the lord to be upon their finances upon their home upon everything they touch their jobs to be blessed there is to be bl that that's why you're a jew today whatever the lord with your heart i want you to have i don't feel intimidated or obligated or to feel you have to do is something you have to feel it from your heart and many area for over forty something years this year actually is over forty two years since i'm preaching the gospel and maybe more than that i was what i was seventeen forty five years actually forty five years since the law called me to preach the gospel and many people there was listen to me some of them there give their life to the lord and some of them they don't and i always was by that inside a mean i sa why some people they didn't give their life to the lower and i was finding in the word of god not too many they have ear to hear even jesus was talking about and on of the gospel of matthew says many many years are doing they cannot hear the word of god even if they hear they cannot hear others the because of their religious and tradition which they live they've been brought up they don't want to leave those religious orders tradition they want to stay that way and others because they are not since are their self i mean they are not honest with themselves they are not honest with god either because they cannot come out from sin they think about living in sin is a pleasure and they don't want to leave a life without leaving and sin and they think it's a lot of work to come out from scene and that's where they feel comfort to stay in that area if your all of this if you are one of those i am curate you today come out and receive jesus as your personal savior and the word of god is saying and in the book of efficient and  i was just starting in this program but later on i will talk more in the book of the fish and chapter one and i i encourage many people to do this this prayer i mean to pray to what what the holy spirit put in my heart there are many people they they preach today the gospel from speculation the speculating state they look but things going around and i mean i heard other days they were saying some people the day waiting think about this speculate times we don't know when jesus going to come and many times we think jesus not going to come he will come soon i believe that but we don't know exactly the time the hour or t or even the years we don't know that we know one thing we see the sun science is happening right now we see devastation we see how the gospel was be spread all over the world and that make us to believe the coming of the lord is very soon now so for many of you or me the coming of the lord can be tomorrow we can go to sleep and never wake up we wake up in eternity now means the lord already came for me that's why we have to be ready any time to wait for the lord some of them they talk about from their inspiration they have an inspiration and i mean you go into google and google a certain word that word and you have an inspiration i challenged him and i said you have to to read the word of god you have to have a knowledge about what happened with israel what happened with the humanity how this humanity appear how the first man was born  become flesh he became flesh and dessert and that's why when you read the word of god the holy spirit will to us the son and this man after he read the word of god in six i need the lord i need to make a commitment to follow jesus for the rest of my life and he asked me in the next year or after i see him the second times he asked me said can you baptize me in water i didn't baptize many people in my life just a few but those people which i baptized them was the people which days really been hungry to make a cousin into the lord and to receive jesus in their heart and i was talking to him and the other day because he came with us in the mission last year and and he said i'm so glad jesus been revealed to me because right now i have a different lifestyle i believe jesus is the one who gave me a new heart to be able to to love our enemy tonight of hate to not  take any revenge against anyone which try to do harm to watch me and to believe god loves me and i was glad because god  more precious than gold and pershing through his tested by fire may be fine found to praise honor and glory but the revelation of jesus christ i mean the perience of jesus christ inside of us and of us and the money for station of god inside of us and the word germans to disclosure something or something to be revealed inside of us that i said to that man he the l that's why he decided to make it to be baptized in water to make a covenant with god he will follow jesus for the rest of his life that's why when you do the baptism why or when you say yes jesus i want to follow you for the rest of my life you have to receive that revelation from god and this program is almost today and i want to continue next week to talk about the revelation of jesus christ but the important time when jesus is knocking that the door of your heart and if you are sensitive enough he will come inside of you and give you that peace and joy which buswell in the study god bless you did i see you again though forget watch this program every week at the same time in the same cha you you to
