1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,800
Good morning.

2
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:06,800
Good morning.

3
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:09,680
We've got Rick here with us today and Elizabeth and Bimpe.

4
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:15,280
I'm so happy that we're all able to get together and have a conversation about something that

5
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:19,360
Rob was just talking about, which is coming up in a week's time.

6
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:24,000
So I guess a week and a day we're going to be entering into Trinity's annual week of

7
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:25,000
prayer.

8
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:26,000
We started it last year.

9
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,560
It was a great success, a great way to start the year and we're starting it again.

10
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:33,680
So I just wanted to first of all thank you all for joining me here for a conversation

11
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:37,880
about something that I think is near and dear to your hearts and is near and dear to the

12
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,280
hearts of a lot of people here at Trinity.

13
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:41,960
So I'm going to just start with you, Rick.

14
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:42,960
You're here joining us.

15
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,000
Can you let me know a little bit about why you are here?

16
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:47,200
Why are you here with me right now?

17
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:51,000
Why are you interested in prayer ministry at Trinity Streetsville?

18
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:58,760
Yeah, so probably a couple of years ago I felt called that in my own life I wanted to

19
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:03,480
improve my prayer discipline, if you like.

20
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:09,120
And I just felt called that maybe I could do this by also encouraging others and by

21
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:10,880
encouraging others and encouraging myself.

22
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:17,680
So we started on this journey and now we're at the second year of doing this week of prayer

23
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:23,400
and we've done through the year we do every month we do a prayer meeting and it's growing

24
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:27,160
and building and we're really excited and the team's growing and I got, there's nearly

25
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:32,400
10 people in the team now, two of my colleagues here from the team are here today to talk

26
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:33,400
to you.

27
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:34,400
This is so fun.

28
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:35,400
Wow.

29
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,600
So it's really just started as something that you were looking into improving for yourself,

30
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:42,240
the prayer ministry, and look where it's at right now.

31
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:47,040
So pretty incredible testimony right there to the power of prayer.

32
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,480
So Elizabeth, you're joining us here.

33
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:56,360
And what encouraged you to want to join in on the prayer ministry here at Trinity?

34
00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:07,200
What encouraged me to join the prayer ministry is that prayer is my foundation because when

35
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:16,040
I was growing up, my parents, oh my God, they were very disciplined Christians.

36
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:24,200
So every morning, 5 a.m. we have to get up and pray and before we go to bed at night.

37
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:29,680
So when I heard about the prayer ministry, I said, oh no, this is my foundation so it's

38
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,720
better to join the program.

39
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,160
So that's great.

40
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:36,160
That's wonderful.

41
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,960
And I think they're happy to have you as part of the team.

42
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:45,520
And what would you have been paying for me?

43
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:54,200
In the Bible, Paul admonishes us Christians to pray without ceasing, pray for one another,

44
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:59,440
pray that the word of God will have its free course and be glorified.

45
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:04,520
And so joining the prayer ministry for me is an opportunity to build up myself spiritually

46
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:09,520
and also be able to do those other things, pray for others and pray that the word of

47
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:15,280
God be glorified because that is what the church needs in this time and age.

48
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:16,280
Thank you.

49
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:17,280
Thank you.

50
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,240
And it's a great way to start the year off too, isn't it?

51
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:23,440
And like you said, the prayer ministry is something that goes year round and there's

52
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,560
something at least once a month going on here at Trinity.

53
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,560
But this, we're here to talk right now.

54
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,840
This week and this month is all about the week of prayer.

55
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:37,320
So next week, there's going to be, I believe, five days where congregants or members of

56
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:45,160
the church are encouraged to come out Monday through Friday and enter into some group prayer.

57
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,240
And I know we're going to talk a little bit about what that's going to look like and maybe

58
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,560
some of the impacts and some of the significance of that.

59
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,680
So that's what we're here to talk about is this week of prayer beginning Monday, January

60
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:56,960
22nd.

61
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,640
So Rick, what is really, I'm going to ask you this first question.

62
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:06,680
What is sort of the rationale or the thought behind a week of prayer here at Trinity to

63
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,560
start the year off?

64
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:13,600
Yeah, it was actually inspired by some other people at Trinity that have done this and

65
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:18,760
other churches and they said, you know, it's a great way and it's going to take you a few

66
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,720
years to build it up.

67
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:25,680
They said, but, you know, it becomes part of the, you know, the cycle of the church,

68
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:26,680
if you like.

69
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:31,480
And it's, you know, we're laying it before God, we're saying, hey, God, please guide

70
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:32,480
us.

71
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:36,320
You know, if we don't pray, you know, what are we doing?

72
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:37,320
Right.

73
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,720
So, you know, if we don't have prayer in our lives in the church life as the foundation

74
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,960
of what will guide us, how do we know that we're doing God's will?

75
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:50,120
So really it started from that, you know, started the year as a great time to do it

76
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,360
when we're planning things for the new year, planning ministries.

77
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:57,720
And so really we said, let's have a week of prayer to guide us for the rest of the year.

78
00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:58,720
I love that.

79
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,560
And I think that's the second time it's come up already in this conversation is the foundation,

80
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:07,760
the foundation of the church in our lives and beginning by listening and talking to

81
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:08,760
God.

82
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:09,760
So thank you.

83
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:16,000
And our week of prayer this week or this year here at Trinity is going to have a theme and

84
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,440
Elizabeth, maybe you could tell us a little bit about the theme that's sort of going to

85
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,000
guide us through that week.

86
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,480
The theme is I had a dream.

87
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:25,480
I have a dream.

88
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:26,480
Okay.

89
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:27,480
I have a dream.

90
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:28,480
Nice.

91
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:45,040
So it was, it was picked by the group and it says very inspirational team of the, the

92
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:55,200
prayer because like Martin looked at King, he had a dream and, and other individuals

93
00:05:55,200 --> 00:06:03,360
in the congregation or in the community had a dream to focus on in their life, the goals

94
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:08,760
that they are, they are about to achieve or to attain in their lives.

95
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:14,440
So dreaming, everybody have a dream, a purpose for their life.

96
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:20,600
And that's part of the same of the, of the prayer retreats.

97
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:21,720
Nice.

98
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:26,440
So that's based on the Martin Luther King famous speech, I have a dream.

99
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:27,440
That's wonderful.

100
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:32,360
Do you, is there any biblical significance to that speech?

101
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:33,360
Does anyone know?

102
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:34,360
Yeah.

103
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:40,120
So in fact, personally, I learned a lot as part of the preparation for this week.

104
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:45,240
So I mean, I knew about the speech, I knew it was significant, but what I didn't realize

105
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,920
was how many biblical references there are.

106
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:52,200
And it's very, very clear when you start to read it, how many biblical references and

107
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,560
scripture passages he drew on, on, in that speech.

108
00:06:55,560 --> 00:07:00,600
So that was great because that's given us, for each night, we're going to have a quote

109
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:05,920
from the speech and the biblical passage that goes with it to inspire the prayer each night.

110
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:10,000
So if you come out Trinity to the week of prayer, you're going to be able to not only

111
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,640
pray, but you're also going to be able to pray through unpacking some of that text,

112
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:20,240
I believe, and learning about how Reverend Martin Luther King was able to draw on God's

113
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:27,720
word and funnel that into the dream that he had for not just himself, but for all people.

114
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:32,640
And Bimbe, Rick alluded to it, that each night might look a little different.

115
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:38,400
Are there different sort of sub themes for each day, do you know, throughout the week?

116
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:39,880
Yes.

117
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:44,200
Because the theme like Elizabeth has said is I have a dream.

118
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:50,600
So we are looking at it's subset into the dreams God has for us individually, which

119
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:51,600
will take place on Monday.

120
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:52,600
Okay.

121
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:56,800
Then on Tuesday, we're talking about the dream God has for us as a church.

122
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,680
Then on Wednesday, the dream God has for us as a community.

123
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,480
This is our community.

124
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:07,800
Then on Thursday, it's the dream God has for us as for the world today, the world that

125
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:08,800
we are in today.

126
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,960
And the dream God has for us for the kingdom to come.

127
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,360
So it is divided into those five days.

128
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:20,760
The team is subdivided into those five days so that everyone could come in and have something

129
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,880
to be a part of each day.

130
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:23,880
Nice.

131
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:24,880
Nice.

132
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:25,880
Okay.

133
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:26,880
So each day is going to look a little different.

134
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,560
So that's why I guess everyone's encouraged to come out all five days if possible.

135
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:31,560
Right?

136
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:32,560
Yes.

137
00:08:32,560 --> 00:08:33,560
Absolutely.

138
00:08:33,560 --> 00:08:34,560
And it sort of builds on itself.

139
00:08:34,560 --> 00:08:35,560
I love that.

140
00:08:35,560 --> 00:08:38,200
I can tell a lot of thoughts gone into it.

141
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:42,560
And prayer also, I mean, I know that prayer can take many forms.

142
00:08:42,560 --> 00:08:47,080
And I'm sure most people here at Trinity might engage even in prayer in different ways in

143
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:48,080
their own lives.

144
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:53,360
I know that it can be sometimes just quiet moments with God and just listening, or it

145
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,640
can be worship and adoration.

146
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,940
It can be prayers for other people.

147
00:08:58,940 --> 00:09:03,000
So when we go to the week of prayer, maybe you guys can all chime in here.

148
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,320
Are there different opportunities to pray in different ways?

149
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,280
Or is it just one sort of way that we're going to be praying?

150
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,280
How is it going to look?

151
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:12,280
Yeah.

152
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:18,320
So we really want to encourage, as you said, different forms of prayer and also people

153
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:24,080
that perhaps, obviously, there are many people in this church pray every day and have very

154
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:25,080
faithful prayers.

155
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,320
And of course, a lot of those will come.

156
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,960
But we want people to come maybe that want to be encouraged themselves.

157
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:36,480
Like I said, I want to encourage myself by doing this.

158
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:41,120
And so we start off each night, we'll have worship music, which is prayer, of course.

159
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,440
And we'll sing together.

160
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:49,360
And then we have the rooms set up with different themes as a room where you can paint your

161
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:54,240
prayers on the wall with paints.

162
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,840
There's a quiet room where you can just read with some reading material in there.

163
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:03,080
And then there's other themes that we're going to go through each night in the seminar room.

164
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:04,840
There'll be a different theme.

165
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:09,200
So I don't know, Elizabeth, do you want to add anything?

166
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:17,920
I encourage everybody to come out to participate in this week of prayer, because in all our

167
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,680
way, we have to acknowledge God.

168
00:10:20,680 --> 00:10:27,320
And prayer is the key to any situation that we might be going through in life.

169
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:33,240
Be that sickness or any obstacle in life.

170
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:39,880
Prayer can close that obstacle and you come alive again.

171
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,680
I'm a living testimony of prayer.

172
00:10:42,680 --> 00:10:51,040
Prayer make me whole again, because if I start on part of prayer, we won't live here today.

173
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:52,040
So amen.

174
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:53,040
Thank you.

175
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,720
No, that's great.

176
00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:02,160
And I think I love that you mentioned that we want to encourage people to come out, even

177
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:06,960
if prayer might not be part of their daily routine or even weekly routine.

178
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,640
But you're interested in the church.

179
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:13,840
But I know some people aren't always even comfortable praying out loud or maybe singing

180
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:17,060
out loud or even painting in front of other people.

181
00:11:17,060 --> 00:11:18,880
Maybe art is not their thing.

182
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:23,360
Personally, I love art and that's probably the room I would be in the most.

183
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:28,120
But if you're not comfortable with praying out loud in front of a group, is this night

184
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:29,680
still for you?

185
00:11:29,680 --> 00:11:32,480
Can you still come and just be in the presence?

186
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:43,840
Oh, yeah, because there is a quiet room downstairs that the individuals can just come and meditate

187
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:44,840
on prayer.

188
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:51,080
You know, you don't have to say it out loud because your creator, the creator of the whole

189
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:59,340
universe knows what is in the depth of your heart and he answered all our actual prayers.

190
00:11:59,340 --> 00:12:07,080
So if you don't want to say prayer out loud, just come and worship, you know, mingle with

191
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:12,480
your Christian fellow in vain.

192
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:13,480
I think that's great.

193
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,320
So really, just please, please come out.

194
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:20,080
And now what, Bimbe, if I'm only able to come out one or two nights, is that still OK?

195
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:24,960
Will I be missing anything or how does that work if I can only come out a couple of nights?

196
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,480
Is that still OK?

197
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,320
We would encourage you come, every one of you.

198
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:36,560
But if it's no life happens and you cannot come more than one or two nights, I wouldn't

199
00:12:36,560 --> 00:12:42,400
say you would miss much because the prayer rooms, we have different stations.

200
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:46,720
So anywhere that resonates with you, whether it's the quiet room, whether it's the library

201
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:51,920
nook where you can just sit down, reflect and journal, and whether it's also the vision

202
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:56,360
where we draw, you would have the opportunity to go around these rooms.

203
00:12:56,360 --> 00:13:01,080
So even if it's on just a day you come, you could still go through all these rooms and

204
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:05,680
take time to reflect and get a vision from God for the year.

205
00:13:05,680 --> 00:13:07,360
Excellent, excellent.

206
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:11,160
And then I guess one of my last questions I'm going to direct to you, Rick, because

207
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,820
we've had a few conversations about this.

208
00:13:13,820 --> 00:13:18,320
Now, if you are someone who's not able to come out at all to week of prayer, and like

209
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:22,400
we said, we are encouraging everyone to come out and be in person with everyone, what can

210
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,720
you say about online?

211
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,720
Do you know, I know I've told you I'm getting a little bit of a website going, but what's

212
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:33,160
your dream for the online ability to engage here?

213
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:39,520
Yeah, so we started last year at sort of a more limited, we tried to send out a weekly,

214
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:44,960
daily email, sorry, every day with the theme of the day, the scripture verses that we were

215
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:51,760
praying on, some words about what the theme was, and a Spotify playlist of the worship

216
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:52,760
song.

217
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,200
So that was the sort of step one, if you like.

218
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:59,320
And now Elizabeth, as she said, is up in the game this year with more online engagement.

219
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:03,400
So we're going to have a web page where you can go on and you can post your prayers on

220
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:04,400
there.

221
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,240
And we can figure out if we can maybe print those out.

222
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:14,440
And so we'll add them to the theme in the room so you can be connected that way.

223
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,440
And again, you'll have the chance to listen to the music.

224
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:23,280
And then on the Friday, we're going to have an online prayer session, we're at 20 minutes

225
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:24,280
or so on the Friday.

226
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:28,600
Yeah, so that way if you're not able to come out, then you can still pray with a group

227
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:32,280
on the Friday evening around probably sometime between seven and eight.

228
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,760
So stay tuned for that information as well.

229
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:39,760
So before we sort of wrap up our conversation, first of all, I want to just say thank you

230
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:44,200
again for joining me because I know I'm encouraged by this week already and very much looking

231
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:45,200
forward to it.

232
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:54,120
Do you yourselves have a hope or a dream for Trinity in 2024?

233
00:14:54,120 --> 00:15:00,440
I have a dream for Trinity that there will be expansion.

234
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:04,640
People will be coming from all walks of life to worship here.

235
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,960
And you know what, God answer prayer.

236
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:11,840
I believe in prayer and prayer walks.

237
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:12,920
Prayer is the key.

238
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:16,280
So come on and worship with us.

239
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:17,280
Love it.

240
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:18,280
Love it.

241
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:19,280
Wonderful.

242
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:20,280
Yeah.

243
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,000
And I just like to say, be inspired by these.

244
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:23,680
These women inspire me so much.

245
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,000
They're just fantastic part of the team.

246
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:32,680
And you can hear the passion in their voice and their history of prayer is just so humbling

247
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,440
and just thanks for all your effort on the team.

248
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,000
That's so good.

249
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,120
My final saying would be Aba Kuktu too.

250
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:46,280
It said we should write the vision and make it plain so that we will be able to run with

251
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:47,280
it.

252
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:52,800
And so I believe that if everyone would get that vision for their life during this prayer

253
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:57,160
week, we could run it with and have a fruitful and blessed year.

254
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,360
That is my prayer for everyone and Trinity.

255
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:01,360
That's beautiful.

256
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:02,360
Beautiful.

257
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:03,360
Beautiful words of truth.

258
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,920
So thank you for leaving us with that.

259
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:10,360
We'll actually get that scripture verse and we will post that for everyone as well because

260
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,440
what a great vision to leave us with here today.

261
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:14,440
So thank you.

262
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:19,040
I look forward to prayer week and I look forward to seeing all of those beautiful prayers that

263
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,960
are written and drawn and expressed as well.

264
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:23,160
So thank you for sharing that.

265
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:28,000
And I hope that everyone who is watching here at Trinity is inspired as well by first of

266
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,440
all, the work that's gone into preparing for this.

267
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:38,800
And the prayers that have gone into preparing for this, I do believe that they were guided

268
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:42,560
considerably through prayer and that it's really going to be a beautiful blessed week

269
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,160
for everyone.

270
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:49,640
And I'm excited to see where it takes Trinity and our community and as you said, the world.

271
00:16:49,640 --> 00:17:01,680
So thank you very much again for joining me.
