going to remain but i've been more and more involved since the early two thousand and no middle two thousand or so but but this christmas project i think i've been going for the last i don't know this is the fifth year when i've been twenty four hours just to sit for a few seconds they're heavily in tradition large relational as they have no relationship with the savior and the most important things where we try to do in this project of chris is call christmas project some sweets to give them when the christmas time because the go is so poor even the romania people where they quote imagine how poor is the area when the kids the share their shoes they share their you know their clothes and they have nothing no nothing and so their shoes even have holes in them you know you know i remember seeing some of these kids in the schools or you came and believe they were sent to school this way even the teachers you know they they try their best even their little income to support these kids because the parents don't have anything but just every year like we do we put together our goodie bags i mean all of you probably have seen in the past but for those of you that don't know we put together a bag with the teddy bear in it with chocolate candy this year we put together says here we put a newsletter together were explaining here a christmas package fill a teddy bears goodies such as raisins that's been donated by a local factory here in fresno california chocolate little kids cups of the little straw was you know little things like this that we take for granted here in america combs toothbrushes be purchased this year coloring books some of the kids will be receiving course and there are some sisters out there that make scarves and hats that the lord put on their heart and you know we we go out and we see which you know which group of kids we need to give the scarves and hats and most of you probably will remember the scenes even from ast year but we want to continue to reach out we're not here to daily when fixing come or daily when the in a certain budget and they are the most generous people was the give to this middle who understand those individuals to they actually have been there and they understand have these individuals live like to us and then each package you know we need to spread the love of jesus in salvation of of jesus how he came on the surface and what's the purpose of christmas we put it a postcard and on the postcard we have a bible verse that we put on there last year we had six which are probably going to do the same thing this over europe because of these programs have been reaching out there and and it's different because in romania everybody is used to these traditional and programs go to church in this religious atmosphere where you have to be addressed a certain way it can be doing this you can be doing that but we are different we go in there you know not going against our traditions we come in there explaining a relationship between them and jesus is their father to you know god their father and so it's different that's why i believe the lot of them reach happy to see one scenery and eat even if we you know we give like last year over eighteen hundred of these to so many kids and some of them they we have here in the very small print says i see so much peace so much joy and i was able to give all my burdens to the lord and i'm looking for every week to watch your program and not only that but to read the word of god and  teachers even the teachers how they come up to us and say you know it's amazing you're the only ones actually care about these children and they see it in them as a lot of them were touched you know by the prayer and they you can see little by little that seed is being planted in their heart that there is something more than what there is right now for them there is actually there is someone actually cares about them and then they need to have a salvation with with christ and you see that they're the importance of it and they see how the kids are change even with the prayer that we do and ukraine right now it's a large persecution against christian special a part of the east of ukraine and i don't know whole long we can bring the gospel in those area because the religious people actually come against and that's the problem in those area because their religious people was to keep people in bondage and to not know anything about christ and then when i was reading this this verses from maybe you can these couple verses verse twenty five and twenty a says chapter two verse twenty five and behold there was a man in jerusalem whose name was simeon and this man was just and devout waiting for the consolation of israel the holy spirit was upon him that means number one he was devoted he took up in his arms and blessed god and said lord now you're of letting your servant depart in peace according to your word for my eyes have seen your salvation which you have prepared before the face of our people years on and that's why many many of us we don't realize what is the importance to have the revelation of the holy spirit to us and that's why all these areas and each in each and every mission we go rumanian to reveal of you and then to have a closer relationship with christ she's us then you will receive that peace which passes all understanding you receive that joy which would bring so much hope in the world and bring so much  prosperity inside of us and to not only that but to to have that hope of that in a life is that true and that's why i'm so bloody you know i'm going before you and you coming want to look in go which is the most called this point out so because from siberia and when it's coming in that area near the morse the more isolated villages were in the winter come over there because they don't have equipment to clean the roads and i praise god for people which they will come with us some people from germany go in germany before i met i got to meet rumania i go in germany i get all the sweets from there i get some food from there yes some of the stuff we buy from for a whole month months worth of you know pantry supplies like oil flour corn you know a sugar writing rice if possible beings you know it depends on what i get our hands on because it is very expensive and whatever you know it's given during that time of the year that's our goal is we'll see every year is different you know we can't we plan things here but once we get there things change a lot of times we have to be flexible and of course we have a we have a plan but we're open to whatever god has for us when we get there but you also have the opportunity before we meet with you to be an omega alpha omega as a live show to we're going to reach people that want prayer cracked and yes you're going to do the program with them because they want you to do that program with them gospel need to be preached and me since i was seventeen and a half years old the lord created inside of me desire to preach the gospel and to bring the good news and most most of the time when the time of the companies i remember when i was a child i mean a teenager syrian like seventeen eighteen years old i was going in those area when it was very dangerous in those days to preach the gospel and many times we saw god how work and the mysterious way and we have a grandkids house which you believe there will be also the next generation and what i have in my heart for you ladies and gentlemen is to have a revelation from the word of god people without he was holding the child in his hands in the presence of the holy spirit came upon him and he gave that prophecy which been fulfilled today in a twenty one century as a gentile as we see of christ i was our personal i have so many things in my life i have a i have so many worries so many doubt and i believe about the situation in which i am right now think about it we go in the romania and those area where most of the homes ninety percent are made wells or drought and i see the presence of god in them so powerful so strong warning we bring that good news they forget all about they raised their hands of the said jesus i accept you in my heart as my lord and savior and that's why i want you to do you have everything you need i mean is no no person at the state even if you are homeless you still have a place to go or together hot meal or or to go a place to a salvation army to get something to to wear or something like that and those people over there they don't have those things over there are they they die actually in the city they don't they don't have a roof over their their head of they have have no food they i we are here to bring you the good news to bring you the salvation and to allow the holy spirit to touch your life right now see this play with me is that the way our in heaven it's a big celebration i just read in the beginning of this program enters our joy when one senior accept christ in their life and maybe you are the one today if you have any sickness any of these cities and if any pain in your body we see reports every week i can say every day people be in touch set free in the ever and healing i mean some of them they may be healing instantly through a simple prayer like this which i want to pray for you right now i have a pain in your body if something heard you in their body or something you needed a lot to do in your life just put your hands over there and believe  i prayed i know in the name of jesus every sickness every disease every pain every diagnostic everything what the doctors tell them they have i committed in the name of jesus every name to bait  hi everyone welcome year and to let you know what exactly what was the what's the whole purpose and many of you probably think well if they do this every year why why do we do this every year well this is what god has called us to go out to the nations and during this time of the of of our years here he has called us to go to remain a i mean he's opened other doors but for some reason god has called us every christmas to go over there and the spread his love and his message the real meaning of christmas so welcome and hi dad how are you good good i'm glad you came with me in the program because many times you've been parted i mean since last several years you've been so much every year to be able to do this project which we reach children and area of the north of romania where people are so poor in that area and you cannot imagine to have a grandkid i mean we have i have two grandkids and you probably have children would you watch me right now and you will say well i can only imagine christmas come to come and to to not have a gift for my kids or to give them  something to play or toy or something here in that estate we have so many then we take it for granted we take it for granted i see our my grandkids you know they hear so many toys play for a few minutes then after that he got bored and go to another toy and i remember if a couple of years ago i went and visited some of the family in the summer with those area and i saw three  hearts to go to these remote areas of romania and to be able to be able to share the love and to say here we came from all the way across the world to come in and to put these packages together a teddy bear with chocolate in some slow snacks like raisins and look cookies in there and you know in and then in there we also put a lot of postcard you know explaining our ministry in if they want to you know what the meaning of christmas is and if they want to accept jesus in their hearts you know the mostly for their parents you know because most of these kids don't understand by at least the seed is planted in there for them to understand you know that there's someone else or alto that's willing and sack to be able to sacrifice to come in come all the way to this their part of the world to give them a gift of course to the parents are crying because they can't believe you know there is so one out there that is able to give them a gift because they don't have the possibility or the money to give a gift to them and many of them had this conversation before  even earlier this year someone asked me are you sure you want to go to remain are you sure you know you got spoke to you to go to i mean well god has spoken to me since i was a child to i remember going with my grandpa with my parents since i was nine years old when the candies or little toys you know and i wanted to do that since so my brothers and i you know as little kids are we would fight no i want to do it no he wants to do it but we end up all of us doing it but we had that in us that we wanted to share you know  parents came in this country with nothing and we grew up with appreciating everything and you know going to remain to see other how other kids live there and so when that individual asked me are you sure you're called to go to remain a i'm like yes i know my calling i want to go where you know to to touch the ones that are hurting the ones are lost and you know that's what the ministry is about you know we're here to go and sacrifice you know to go reach the souls are lost in the hurt and and there's a lot of sacrifice with that you know we my parents are given everything for for the ministry and for what god has called them in and even with this trip you know we we everything that's been given is a donation correct him you know even you going to europe right now you're trying to raise money with you know in supplies for the upcoming trip you know these different countries eg go visit and the churches they are called to go and speak in about the trip and about the ministry so it is a sacrifice it's  lot of people go wow you do all this stuff but they don't realize that behind the seat was the behind the scenes what we do you know throughout the year we collect teddy bears we we contacted frontier you know sources that we have like the cups of you know we have children's cups with straws in them that you know for us were like oh just a cup but you know it has a little it has a little character you know some character on there and the kids love it you know as i call well i have a little cup in and you know the teddy bears itself it's just it's for them to take in their hands you know they look brand new and they're like wow somebody that's in the gas station or in the stores or remain in the cost twenty dollars at least twenty thirty dollars twenty better and you know twenty three dollars for these people is is a month one month supply of food become teenagers like sixteen seven fifteen sixteen years old he said i decided to serve the lord and i told my life completely too to do the baptism water and also my mother and i my grandmother did the same is the presence of the holy spirit which touched him to the power of the word of god which we send it through the gifts but are so to the word of which been said to their mom and that's the important i would just read together before the program we start from matthew chapter in when jesus blessed the little children and maybe you can read those three verses thirteen fourteen fifty and spend the little children were brought to him that he might put his hands on them and pray each time we pretty only speak blessing over the children before they receive the gifts from us we prayed the presence of the cheeses to be upon that place and that's why i want to thank you  many i know i have lara lot of people watching our program because we see a lot of phone calls of salvation and people which they want to give their life to the lower because our our teaching our message which we give to the people is not a message to become religious but to receive a relationship with christ she says of course is lot of sacrifice i have to leave here before things are giving and you know here in the united states people the celebrity tents giving with their family and they have that opportunity to be together but almost every year i can say almost every year i'm living before chris departments giving and i'm going to europe before i go to romania i mean i'm going to germany over there i have two churches which i preach year after year in those churches lara christian non christian came to the lower to know or to know jesus and the hardened and they're open to help us but those people are immigrants over there was they don't have much and that's why they give from what they can spare from the little things where they have together we put package for the kids pasta or your rice flour consular of the can bins of a possible sugar and these dry goods are gold for them because it's very expensive there for it to even have those things in their  there in the snow i mean that that's unbelievable to know that there are still conditions out there that people are still living those kind of conditions and so yes it is you know there's still a lot of money that we need to raise and everything w for the obedience which god to give it to our partner to be able to be part of this project because each time we do something like this we not only sacrifice our time our family but our so we let christ to do the work through us and all of you would be in part of this mission i want to tell you something is exactly how you go in even if you're not going in person but you are sending us and sending us you go in person to receive the same reward like us because without you we cannot do it the you are so cut without us you kill or do this kind of projects that see bring for the presence of the word of god which bring them hope joy and peace and love and love which is the most important thing is it see that's been planted there you know at first we probably won't see it happen or if we want to see a harvest out of it but over the years you know we really will see a some sort of harvest come of it because they won't forget you know when you become an adult you start thinking about you know how you grew up you start thinking about you know certain things they went through but you will remember you won't forget that someone actually planted that seed in that someone actually loved you for that and that you know that's why i believe jesus rebuked the disciples because he wanted the kids to be near them near him to which is so powerful think about it in heaven it's a big celebration when a sinner come to the lord i saw as a big celebration it's worth the whole trip well yes because it is a battle for the soul to turn to life to the lord to me i was just talking to mom the other night and how much how much a person has to go through there's a mental battle analyzing things over and over in your mind is it possible is it not possible and then you know and letting that annoying to not touch the touch to come inside and to open have them open up for them to repent an intention of life to the lord is it's a huge celebration mean it's hard and that's why i want you to pray for us pray also for the people was this stay here my wife will be here with our grand kids and ours or our daughter in law pray for my wife because last year also she got stuck in the snow here where we leave we leave up on a mountain here and placerville area and like never before was a lot of snow a lot of bad weather but i believe the lord  protect us and us to do ministers for us in a certain area but the physical work what we have to do like giving to the ministry going in person to preach the gospel do what god wants you to do and are said to bless you with that peace and that joy because i know it's a time in this country which people they are so worry so overloaded i can say of the of the things what we have they have to do they have to give gifts to each other they have to you know to prepare a christmas dinner for their family or you know to do all this stuff and all this preparation some of the people here they don't have enough money what they intended to spend you know what i'm saying to you if you are paying for the little things you'll be tankful and the big things too if you allow the holy spirit to give you joy to of their life and their health and their finances and everything they touch the presence of the lord to be upon them and the holy spirit to give them choice give them peace and if you see any cygnus any disease in their body i believe i saw so many men are those lord how i send you word of sending your words right now over each and every one and i believe lord by faith they will he see their feeling right now just just said a loud voice say goes you want to share with our viewers know just for everyone to keep us in their prayers and to not forget you know we need the lord to protect us for safety and and for favor as well because we still have some  financial needs that we need to cover before we leave and while we're there to and so just keep us near her and if you have on your heart to to donate anything or to even pray you know you can e mail us you can call us any time and we're al
