and the dating again i have this opportunity to have with me our firstborn and our daughter claudia militarily and i'm so glad that you are with us and i talked last week with you foreign family usually it's the girl that does everything with the mom did you fire the boy when they were you know siblings anyway i'm so glad you know put this word into a language and you can see i have an accent in english and some people tell me a little maybe i have an accent and most more likely i like to preach the word of god and bring the good news as long i live  ministry from nothing even right now we believe all the time that nothing becomes something and always we saw results right now we reach millions of people with the gospel and both language even if you have an ax and continue to do that because you spoke from your heart and i see the results in my life i saw how been touched change in a store in that area where i was sikh were i was having a problem with fear and the law the liver me with from the speed of fear today i like to talk a little bit more about what i left the last time and a member last time i talked to lower the regarding how to believe the word of god how to confess the word of god and the divine serve sacrifice love that means the love of god as you put it inside of us to be able to act like god we are not god by we're act like him we we kavran and cringing and fronting fear but he has given it a spirit of power and of love and of calm and well balanced mind and discipline and self control and i mean going back to the who started racing files he started even reese not his contacts off his work phone and in the end even get fired he was even laid off and but he lost it thinking he was everything clean and he lost important disciplined in the fact of constantly praying which perseverance come by here in the word of god and right here you know your character is being built during this time we have a tendency to look at the problem but not look at the big picture guys trying to build here turned in why this wasn't done correctly your computer went down your phone went down mean you asked for god to give you patience and how you going to get everyone out of that person going through all those circumstances you know like someone trying to lose weight they wanted overnight or they want to be wasted or they want to quick fix with all these hormones or with our body sculpting but if you don't fix a problem that's really going on you're going to have the same problem over and over and over until you really deal with the problem yes goes through right if you try and that you have a friend that concert bothers you or a sibling or whatever is a ok the family has all that sibling was always giving me a hard time that brother of mine you know he's we're always fighting we're always that and we don't deal with the problem what's actually making this act like that when to go to another situation we move out of the house to go to college you know into the same situation selfishness right you know if you can be a giving person at home and you says now hope does not disappoint because the love of god because when i was in self sacrifice love now means the love of god has been poor out in our hearts by the holy spirit who has given to us such hope never disappoints or to dilute or shames us for god's love has been poured out in our hearts through the holy spirit who has been given to us  made righteous and brought into right relationship with god by christ's blood how much more certain it is that that we shall be saved by him from the air in indignation and wrath of god we bring this good news to give people hope that's why those people which watching us for so many years  true salvation cracked they are very trained on traditions that they have to go through certain ways of cleaning themselves and being is loved by god and they're still not a measure of the christmas cracker and they say yes and he's read in the story of christmas and then you said can i make a little prayer with you say a little prayer and of course they like blessings like you to pray and that culture is the more money you are the more you give to the priests or the church the more prayer the more prayer time you get with the present the priest or the better you get healed the better you get in certain areas correct i mean correct me if i'm wrong and so it's very hard to get into the church in these schools i mean last year we went to the language they want to speak to where they are really where are they really are they russian remain and so there's always a struggle so coming to that country yes last year was very hard to even to even get distribute our gifts to them but somehow we made a way and we still win it with our program cookies are the main thing that we put in there and then and we put a post card together in which you can show this postcard it's written remailing which what christmas is on the back of it tells you asked you do you want to see the savior in your heart and he gives you the prayer how to receive him in your heart in the part of this project or to be part of this but it's really sort of be part of any projects we have in this ministry we not only reach the gospel through the television but also if you want personally do certain evangelists secrecy a certain area which we do this with that very happy heart even though we don't sleep well me times or receive is very different beds and food and everything we have fun well the family is bringing the good news yet and that's why i'm saying we 're still doing we have fun with it when we have fun giving this is great that we want you we like we are joy to give we that's the best part of christmas in our family we say forget gas forget everything for christmas let's are participate with this us that's why we gave and what he give we feel so good because we know and we know in our heart is god himself put us in this position to go and many of you will say well i wish to be a part of that to go over there but here is my prayer here's my finances here's my health i want to help you in that area i want to be with you and that area and you cannot be literal with us but you can help and the liver we receive reports weekly and sometimes daily from over see people calling us from there because they could they could have primitives from there to call here than we have from here to call and they will and they ca us for prayer and tell us reports how god has been touched in restore them and set them free that's what i want to plant that seed in your heart be a giver don't keep it for yourself just let god to do the work inside rivera 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 what goes on in his head when he goes in these homes or when he sees his kids seen especially because he's a father now too he 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 romania we made 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 that 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 in the live their lives every day life with hardly anything in their homes we have the opportunity go once again in the northern part of grown since the so the union fell down i believe i can say the proposed one dollar through my eyes is like a least five to ten years behind for a mania so they're very it compared to remain out there very very poor and the lord opened the door for us to go to because it's a reality check every time i go to think you know what we have here in america and even though we grew up going to remain almost every year every year but no i have a family and to see those kids a child has like ten twenty under the tree over there they don't have one yeah so you know it's very you forget and then you going every year it's different because you see more and more and more things in reality and it's  because it's not just happening i mean it's to happen everywhere around the world and so now we go into the schools re you know how to explain the situation in the schools you know like for instance one the schools i have a picture on my phone where they don't have  help his neighbor oh you know to why you know he builds a 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're bringing food and supplies doors so far to get in there and to 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 and ukrainian russians i want to come and take over and then you have to remain inside gone on her christmas break and was sure her that we wanted to come in to donate these little baggies that we put together she get she comes and she goes no you can't donate she comes in from her break shoes off for christmas break she 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 a 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 when we have a lot of snow i hate this time we had no 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 quick it was such a quick trip that within a week we would even have time to 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 one side on the other side it says merry christmas and their language and where we were able to go into the schools non christian kids don't eat these bags with you know different items we had chocolate we had two precious combs candy a little teddy bear and some in 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 it'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 also to take it home you never know the mom and dad they can they can pick up the bible know what is this you know and break that you know it's an open opportunity for the kids to minister to their parents you know look in the pentagon as where do you get the stuff you know did you steal it or some somebody came from america to give it to us and look look what they gave us you know and then that's how the church started last year two years ago yeah there's ago where you know kids went home told their parents what happened given this and they said wow i mean i want to serve gifts for them at the schools we also donate to the poorest family needs village a box or food of items of pantry items that they can have to the holidays and this year together with the church in english out germany we partnered up again with them and we came up with the idea of actually putting the box together instead of just buying and giving them a hand full of sugar or flowers and rice we put together they put together a box of items and each box we put some is like gold in their hands and pasta besides all that we also for margarine like last year i mention to you here in america we take this for granted to have butter on our tables and for 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 thank 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 that stuff and and then also people were crying when they they received items like this and gifts from us and this only cost twelve or thirteen euro switch 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 isn't 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 with 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 germany we worked we worked with them many years and 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 and we didn't donate to exactly any families some of the families or a bigger we gave these two or three boxes but half of them we were able to go to houses and donate them and and we were very excited that we actually changed  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 it's just 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 that the twenty fifteen living soo television ministry and a work to bless and encourage
