What Does the Church Need — Tim Conway

I would just ask everybody to pray right now. Pray for me. Last night, I came to the pulpit not really certain what I was going to say. I told my wife. Afterwards, I said as a young preacher, I probably would have been traumatized going to the pulpit not really knowing what I'm going to preach.

And I'm coming to the pulpit again tonight. The thing is, I have a sense of what I want to say to you. I have a burden in coming here. But I don't have notes on everything that I want to say. Brethren, I know that several times today, the term distraction was used.

But I'm really hoping that you will not go away from the conference when it's done thinking that was a conference on distraction. There's another D word. It's the one that I quoted to you last night from that Eliot quote.

A Dangerous Christianity That Pursues Revival

Oh God, make us dangerous. That's the D word right there. I desire that something in this conference, and I've heard two messages already today, when we think of revival, when we think of taking up this armor, oh God, make us dangerous.

God, bring revival in our day. I'm hoping that you'll leave this conference not satisfied, that we'll go out of here. My great desire is that a conference like this could be used in some way to help compel and propel the people of God in this part of the United States.

In each of your churches, I've talked to people, you come from all sorts of different places. Largely, this is not a group just representing one church. You're from all over the place. I hear of these little churches that are starting out here on Long Island, that young pastors, guys full of zeal over in Manhattan, things happening, guys coming from Connecticut and from Pennsylvania.

Do we want that revival that we heard about today? Are there things that we can do? You know, in many ways, at dinner tonight, we were talking about men upon whom God has put His hand. There are some things, there are many things about this Christian life.

Where do you get a Whitefield from? We heard about Bill McCloud, Keith McCloud. Where do men like this come from? Where do men like Martin Lloyd Jones come from? Charles Spurgeon. Yes, God has to raise up certain men.

He puts His hand on them. We recognize that there are things about revival that are beyond our control. We can't just go decide we're going to have a prayer meeting in Manhattan and all of a sudden, tens of thousands of people are swept into the kingdom.

We can't just make that happen. But I don't want to get away from what we talked about last night. Are there things that we can be doing that are attached to promises in Scripture? In other words, are there conditional promises in Scripture that we'll be like a watered garden?

Or that God will be the glory of God, will be our rear guard? Are there promises like that? Promises where when we have prayer meetings, God's going to show up and say, here I am. You see, this is the thing that I want us to go away with.

I don't want us to get away from those realities that we looked at last night. Judgment Day. And I want to take it on from there. I was hungry and you fed me. I don't want to leave that behind. Brethren, because the question is this, what are we going to do?

The Church’s Mission to a Perishing World

Where are we headed? Where are our churches headed? What is the direction? You young pastors, and a whole number of young pastors, where are we leading people? We have to want something more than just refined theology.

Where are we going? Let me ask you, where do you want to be? What do we want our churches to look like? Are there churches that we'd like to send out missionaries to impact China? Do you think it's possible for a church, small churches of 15 or 80 people, to even begin to think about these things?

This realm of starting ministries where we just start taking people in. We come up with crazy, outlandish ideas about how we're going to propagate the Gospel. Ministries that just let our minds run wild.

Ministries of compassion. Are we going to do those things? Are those the things that are going to occupy? Brethren, I would ask you this, what does your church need to what? I mean, what does your church need to simply canvas your own neighborhoods so that they know that you're there?

I mean, maybe some of your churches are doing that. I don't know what all is happening where you are. But do we want to have our church meet in a community and we live there and we maybe move away at some point, we relocate or we die, and the people where we lived never knew we were there?

Don't let that happen. We need plans for how we... Look, you know this, we're going to die. Why are we left here right now? The church is left here right now and our Lord Jesus Christ specifically gave us a commission.

And we need to remember what that commission is. That commission is to take this word of life. It is to seek to be the ones who take this message out. Brethren, we need plans. We need schemers. We need people in the church that are coming up with crazy ideas.

And we need to try and launch out. What do you need to do that? What kind of people do you need? What kind of vision do you need? What kind of encouragement do you need? What is it that you need? What kind of money do you need?

What is it that you believe that you need to make these things happen? That's what I want to talk about tonight. What do we need? What do you need? Maybe you say, I just need a pastor with a vision like that.

Okay, maybe that's what you need. Maybe you say, I need more boldness myself. Okay, maybe that's what you need. Maybe you say, we need more money. Maybe you say, yes, we need some evangelistic people.

Yes, we need those things. What is it that we need? What should we be thinking about? What should the direction look like? You know, not every church has the same function. Not every church has the same niche.

Not every church is going to be raised up by God to do exactly the same thing. But what is it? How are the churches, those that hold to the doctrines of grace, how are these churches going to explode with life?

And maybe some of you are. Maybe your churches are. I don't know everything that's happening. But I greatly desire to see life in this part of the country. I greatly desire to see the churches here stirred.

I greatly desire to see that reality that I was trying to emphasize last night. If the Lord Jesus Christ is interested in who we're feeding, who we're clothing, who we're giving drink to, who we're visiting, then we should be concerned about that.

Brethren, are your churches focused? I mean, are you making concerted efforts to get the Gospel into prisons? Or to get the Gospel into another country? Has your church kind of singled out country where you'd like to send a missionary?

Or you'd like to start visiting? Or a missionary that you already know is over there? And you don't just put a picture up on the board and maybe send $50 each month, but you actually get to know this guy and you hear the reports, and maybe you send some people over there, and when he's in the States, you have him come there and you have him share that burden.

Or how about planting churches in other places? Even if you're relatively small, you know of a place in the United States where you don't hear of any good church. It's like, we're going to send a church over.

Talking to a young guy today. He already planted a church, and now he's thinking about going somewhere else. We ought to be thinking like that. We ought to be thinking out of the box. We ought to be encouraging that.

Brethren, we shouldn't just be thinking about being sacrificial with our money. We should be thinking about being sacrificial with our time and sacrificial with our best men and women. Where can we send them?

What are the needs out there? Brethren, I want to emphasize to you, we live in a perishing world. And this is what I want to hit on. What do we need? Let's go back to that text that we looked at last night.

Revelation 12 and the Church’s Spiritual Conflict

I want you to open up to Revelation 12. And as we're opening there, I want us to pray. Revelation 12. This will just be a starting point for us. Father, I pray that as we are, many of us in this place, the people of God and bought with the blood of Your Son, Lord, You've designed this crazy thing called preaching.

Preaching Your Word to be a means for bringing light to our feet. A means for building up Your people, for convicting, encouraging, instructing. Lord, I want to preach the Word tonight and I want to say what You've said in Your Word.

And I pray that it would be helpful. Lord, we so desire a refreshing in this time. I pray in Christ's name. Amen. Brethren, Revelation 12. We were talking about this woman. I want to go down to verse 14.

This woman. And last night I was talking about this woman being a picture of the people of God. And you can trace this lineage. This lineage from whom the Christ comes. And you see that Satan, he's after this woman.

He's trying to devour this child. He's trying to wipe out this race of this godly line. He's going after this son that comes forth. And he pursues this woman. In fact, maybe we go to verse 11. They conquered Him by the blood of the Lamb.

This dragon who's pursuing this woman by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death. Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them. But woe to you, O earth and sea, for the devil has come down to you in great wrath because he knows that his time is short.

When the dragon saw that he had been thrown down to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child. But you see the thing about this woman is that she's helped. You find that she's helped all through here.

The woman was given two wings of the great eagle so that she might fly from the serpent into the wilderness to the place where she is to be nourished for time and times and half a time. The serpent, now listen to this, the serpent poured water like a river out of his mouth after the woman to sweep her away with a flood.

Let me ask you this, what comes out of the mouth of Satan? What comes out? A flood. He's the father of what? You see, when he speaks, he seeks to murder by his lies. A flood. You see the woman? The woman is us.

We're the offspring of the woman. He pursues her, and he pursues her with a flood from his mouth. These lies come at us. Now, you know, we can think, oh, the doctrinal errors that we're confronted with out there in the world.

Yes, that's a form in which this flood comes. But oh, remember his first lie. You know what his first lie was? Do you know what the flood looks so much like? As God said, don't you know the kind of God you have?

This is the kind of God that doesn't really care about you. In fact, He's holding out on you. Oh, He knows in the day that you eat of this thing, things will get really good. He's withholding. God's not for you.

God is against you. Lies. Brethren, do you know what I'm concerned about? Do you know that we not fall for the devil's lies? God isn't for us. God really isn't how He says He is in Scripture. How does God say He is in Scripture?

Do you know what He does? He sends His Son into this world, and He says, you know what He says concerning prayer. I want to go back to prayer, because this has to do with the Father of lights, from whom every good and perfect gift comes.

This has to do with the God who offers us so much. You know, they wanted to learn to pray. They saw Jesus. He was a man of prayer. Yeah, you've got to believe the disciples knew about prayer. They prayed.

They said, Lord, teach us how to pray. Teach us to pray. And He said this. He said, I'll teach you to pray. He didn't say that's a ridiculous thing to be taught how to pray. He said, I'll tell you how to pray.

Use persistence. Use importunity. Be like the man that goes to his friend at night, and he's looking for something. Be like that guy. And He says this, you're the kind of God that if you ask, you'll receive.

If you seek, you know what it says. If you knock, and you know what happens sometimes? The devil comes along. You're too small. You're too uneducated. Your church is too weak. Your church doesn't have enough funds.

Your church, look what you're up against. You're just a few people in the midst of multitudes who are in the dark. I mean, you guys are the liberals over here. The Northeast, we look at you guys from Texas, and it's like, don't take our guns away.

You guys have people that, look, people are lost holding their guns in Texas. But we can look, and this world can be daunting. We're up against this? I mean, we couldn't start an orphanage. That's impossible.

The government forbids it. It's against the law. We could never reach orphans. Starting a home for widows? I mean, trying to do something crazy. Something out of the box. Start a soup kitchen. Start trying to reach people.

I mean, thinking big. Thinking out of the box. You see, the devil's right there constantly his flood of lies. It's not just Arminianism trying to get in. It's not things like that. It's his constant, God isn't who you think He is.

And God isn't really there to help. And God really isn't going to give you everything you ask for. God really isn't like that. Brethren, who is it throughout the centuries who started hospitals? You have hospitals here like we do in Texas that have Methodist in the name and have Baptist in the name and have Lutheran in the name.

Where'd those things come from? Somebody got the crazy idea, we're going to start a hospital. Can you do that? Can you send an entourage to India? You say, no, India's a closed country. Oh no, we have a church of 10 people.

We could never do anything in North Korea. Listen, they said, Lord, teach us to pray. You know, that's not a bad thing to be taught how to pray. In fact, if God would just use me tonight to help all of us, including myself, learn a little something about prayer.

Brethren, I plead with our own people at home, let it never be that certain things did not happen because we didn't ask. Not when God says you don't have because you haven't asked. Not when Scripture says if you ask, those who ask will receive.

When you have texts like that, John Newton, we heard about John Newton today. He wrote that song, Large Petitions With Thee Bring, right? Thou art coming to a king. What's the song? Come, my soul, thy suit prepare.

You ever think about that? Think about the king you're coming to. One who delights to set himself forth in Scripture as the God of the impossible. Brethren, I just want somebody here to think with me outside the box.

What cannot we do if God helps us? And listen, if God is saying through His Son on judgment day, the things that He is primarily going to be concerned with is did you go out and take food to the hungry?

Did you do that? Well, how can we do that? Let's do that. You know, it's much like Peter. It's a matter of faith. We ask, Lord, help us to do this. And then you step out. I mean, church, pray. Pray fast.

Faith, Vision, and Sacrificial Mission

What do you need? What is it that you want to do? What's the vision? You know, we ought to talk to people in our churches. What's the vision? What do people have burdens for? We should never despise that.

I remember as a young believer, I had a burden for missions. And I went to my pastor in the first church I was a member of. And I said, pastor, I have a burden for missions. And you know what he told me?

There's a little Sovereign Grace Church up in Kalamazoo, Michigan. He told me, not going to happen. In other words, he didn't just say maybe someday. He just, not going to happen. It was at that time I began to pray, Lord, take me to a church that holds to the doctrines of grace as baptistic and evangelistic.

And the Lord did, and He opened that door. And you know what I have found? I have found that those burdens that God put on my heart in those early days, I have prayed about, and God has opened those doors one after another, after another, after another.

And I never want people in our church to despise the burdens that God has given. What are the burdens that you have? What do you want to do? What is it that God has been impressing the churches here to do?

And I would ask you this, what do you need to do it? Are you asking? Are you bringing petitions before the Lord that sometimes just seem ridiculous? Do you know it has always been the people in this world that have turned the world upside down, that have had a vision to do something when it seemed absolutely impossible and they stepped out?

You know, we have hindsight to look at men like William Carrier, Hudson Taylor, and we look at it from this vantage point, and we say, wow, that was incredible. These guys are the father of modern missions, and they launched out, and all these things were done.

Well, that wasn't the case. If you go back and you start reading about their lives when they first went out, people were seeking to discourage them. This is hopeless. We see no prospects that William Carrier is going to do anything over there in India.

I mean, he's going in there to such darkness. What in the world? Brethren, what do you need? What do you need? Dangerous Christianity. You know what dangerous Christianity is? It's not people that are great and strong.

Dangerous Christianity, that kind Jim Elliot prayed for, is when people, they recognize God is able, and God calls us to do these things, and we're going to step out. No matter how dark Long Island is or New York is, there are opportunities.

You know what it took for that second grade? We heard about in the 1850s. Do you know what it took? It took somebody who was willing to go and start a prayer meeting downtown. It took somebody that was willing to do that.

We need people that are willing to do that. Listen, better to try, and for some reason we failed, than never try at all. But you know what I have found? I have found that when you step out of that boat, trusting the Lord, you find the water holds you, miraculously.

Like, every single time. That's what I've found. Brethren, when our church was very little, very tiny, we moved to the east side of San Antonio, we looked out through that dark window on the front door of that building we were in, and the prostitutes are walking back and forth, and the crack addicts are down here selling their dope to each other, and crystal meth, and crack, and what are we going to do?

Well, you know what we did at first? We just said, we're going to invite these people in for lunch. We'll just give them free food. We'll invite them in here, and we'll preach the Gospel to them. Oh, we had demonized people, we had people bringing their bottles in, we had people wipe poop all over the wall, and the kids, they'd find them playing with hypodermic needles, and used condoms on the ground, and it's like, yeah, I'm being graphic here, but this is where we were, and this is what we were up against.

And I mean, women's body parts falling out in the lunch line, and it's like, where have we come? But God brought these people in, and we start sharing the Gospel with them, and I tell you, we tapped a hornet's nest of the demonic, and all manner of things were happening, but God was working in the midst of it, and God was with us, and we were praying.

I mean, here we are. We didn't know any better. I remember calling a pastor at that time, Sam Patron, he was a pastor over in Denver. I said, brother, I don't know what I'm doing. He said, brother, we're way ahead of all those other guys.

What do you mean? He said, because we don't know what we're doing. And I didn't. I didn't know what we're doing. What are we doing? I mean, our kids are playing with hypodermic needles back here. This is not good.

But things were happening, and God's opening doors, and we're talking about how to send a team over to India. The thing is like crazy. We're talking about... But you know what? God... Our prayer meetings, everybody was there.

And we're asking God for these big things. And you know what we saw? Within the course of time, God began to open these doors, one after another. And I'll tell you this, no matter how hard, you remember, you've got to put on the right goggles here.

You've got to see behind the scenes. We have a spiritual battle going on. We heard about it this morning. There's a spiritual battle. The devils are real. The demons are real. But I just have you remember this, no matter how much the opposition, no matter how outwardly all these pawns of Satan that live all around us, no matter how daunting that may seem, do you remember what was said through the Apostle Paul to that church at Rome concerning Satan and where his head would be compared to their feet before too long?

Where? Do you remember what it says? There is that Roman letter is being wrapped up. You have that reality that they would soon crush Satan under their feet. You say, wait, that was a promise that was given to the Lord Jesus Christ.

Exactly. He's with us. He's our head. We're His body. He says He's going to be with us to the end of the age. He's here with us. And He's bidding us do these crazy things. Brethren, don't be content to have the library on your shelves of people who did crazy things.

It's going to be those here in this part of the country who are going to launch out. Who are going to say, no, it's not crazy to go over to just a handful of old Pentecostals over here up in Manhattan and start a church after we just started one in South Manhattan.

That's not crazy. I mean, provided it be God's will. We do want to ask Him. We do want to pray. We want to be asking Him, Lord, guide our steps here. What do we need? What are we going to need to pull this off?

The Church at Satan’s Throne and the Promise of Greater Works

You know, it's not surprising that we have churches in places like this. Any more surprising than it was, you remember where the church at Pergamon was? Anybody remember? Where Satan's throne was. Where Satan dwells.

You know, sometimes we look at the opposition and we think of the devil and we think of how daunting he is and principalities and powers and these wicked forces. Cosmic powers. But I'll tell you this, God is in the business of taking a church and planting it right where Satan's throne is.

There you go, Satan. I'm going to put a group of my people right on your doorstep. That's what He does. And He doesn't do it so that we sit in here and all be safe and protected. What do we need? Brethren, I ask you that.

What do we need? The reality is we have an enemy that we've been promised in Scripture is going to flee from us. What do we need? And I keep asking that because we are bidden to ask. In fact, at last year's fellowship conference in Denton, I dealt with a passage out of John 14.

Brethren, do you realize this? Everybody who believes, not just the apostles, everybody who believes, we are promised that the works that Jesus did we will do and greater works than these we will do. And you better just wrestle with that and you better let your prayer meetings reflect that reality.

Do you want to do greater works than Jesus Christ did? You say, whoa, I don't know what that means. Okay, well it means something pretty spectacular. It means something pretty great. I'm not saying you're going to raise more dead, but you have to wrestle with His words.

And He didn't just say my apostles are going to do that. He said, if you believe. We need to face the world like this. We have a devil who we're promised if we resist him, he's going to flee from us. Whose head will be under our heel.

We've got this ability by the might of God Himself. But what do we need to do it? I just ask you, what does your church need? What do you personally need to do this? To launch out in this endeavor? This really does have to do with prayer.

I mean, you think about Scripture. Why do we pray? We can hit on aspects of intercession. We can hit on aspects of worship. Undoubtedly, we can hit on aspects of confessing sin. But isn't it interesting?

When the disciple said, Lord, teach us to pray. Where did he go with it? You know where he went with it? A man standing at a door trying to get bread at midnight. And he immediately launches into asking, seeking, and knocking.

Why? Because you know one of the essential aspects of prayer is that it is going to God to get the things we need. That's how Jesus taught His disciples. And we need to ask, what do we need? We need to be praying.

If there's anything that's obvious in Scripture, you ever notice that? When Paul's dealing with every one of the churches, he's constantly telling them constantly be in prayer. Jesus Himself said, men ought always to pray and not faint.

Why? Because there is a fainting aspect that comes with it. Maintaining this kind of prayer life where we are going to God and we are expecting and we are asking for great things and we're bringing large petitions because He is a great King.

And so we're not just coming with these tiny little things. Yes, we can bring the small things. But what do you need? What do you need to turn this part of the country upside down? I mean, look, if you think about it, we have some of the best churches in this part of the country represented here.

That's no stretch, is it? I don't believe that. I believe that we have true people of God here in true churches. And so what do we need? What do we need to do what God has called us to do? We talked about this aspect to that end.

The end of praying for all things. To that end, keep alert. There needs to be an alertness. We need to be praying for the things. We need to be alert to what we really need to fight this battle. We need to be alert to the things that we should be expecting from God.

But what happens? Brethren, you know what happens. You know why we need to be told not to faint? Just like we need to be told not to be weary in well-doing? Because we become weary in well-doing. We become faint in prayer.

The reality is that Satan is right there and he's ready. He's ready to try to convince us with his lies. God is sovereign. You don't need to be praying like this. God is going to do what God is going to do.

Oh, this is such a favorite among those who hold the Calvinistic doctrine. God is sovereign. God is going to do what God is going to do. And you guys can just relax. And that's not how Jesus taught us to pray.

God didn't say, my Father is sovereign. Therefore, there's no need to be importune at the door. He never said that. He never taught that. We are taught that we don't have because we don't ask. Brethren, we really do need to stay alert and we need to have that wartime mentality.

We need to recognize what we're faced with. We need to recognize that souls are perishing. We need to recognize that the time is indeed short. It's not just Satan's time that's short. Our time is short.

It's very short. You know, we don't get to live here very long. Like I recognize, where am I at? Do you know, if I live as long as my father lived, I have that many years left. If I live as long as my dad, I'm at the end.

What have we done? Our time is passing by. And I hope you're not satisfied to simply have a book on the shelf to tell you about the mighty works of God and the ways that people have turned the world upside down in the past.

I hope you're not satisfied with that. And if you're not satisfied with that, then what I want to encourage you to do is be constant in prayer and go ask God for the things that you most need. What do you need?

I think we need to be taught to pray. Maybe let's talk about that for a second. I find this. I'm interested in looking at how the saints in Scripture pray. In fact, what I want to do is I want to just dissect.

I think this can be very helpful. To study the prayers of the Scriptures. You know, Mack told me one time about I think somebody encouraged you to pray through all the Psalms. That can be very valuable.

Very instructive. Let's look at two prayers of Moses. And one of the reasons I want you to look at these is because Moses got what he was asking for. Now look, if there's anything we ought to want, what our Lord is encouraging us when He taught His disciples is how to go to the door and get what you want.

Jesus did not look real favorably on the idea of praying and not having what you asked for. Or not receiving what you seek. Or not having doors open to you when you're knocking. You recognize what Jesus is doing.

Jesus is instructing His disciples how to pray. How to ask in His name. Everywhere where He teaches about prayer. The expectation is that if we come in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, He constantly is saying, I will do it.

My Father will do it. Ask and you'll have. This is how He taught us to pray. The idea of praying and not getting what we pray for is foreign. Now look, I know we can ask amiss. But if you just look at the way Jesus taught us to pray, everywhere it is assumed He is teaching us how to pray to get what we pray for.

And so, maybe we'll just take a little bit of instruction tonight. We'll dissect a couple of Moses' prayers. The two I want us to look at. One is found in Exodus 32. And the other one's found in Numbers 14 if you want to put your finger in both places.

But we're going to look at Exodus 32 first. Brethren, the question of the hour is this. What do you need? I'll tell you what, it excites me when I hear among you that you want to do things. I am really encouraged when there's a bunch of young pastors.

Young crazy guys. I find that often times it takes young people to be crazy. The older we get, we get more cautious. Exodus 32, verse 7. Remember this. Moses is praying. The Lord said to Moses, Go down, for your people whom you brought up out of the land of Egypt have corrupted themselves.

They have turned aside quickly out of the way that I commanded them. They've made for themselves a golden calf, have worshipped it and sacrificed to it, and said, These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.

And the Lord said to Moses, I've seen this people. Behold, it's stiff-necked people. Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may burn hot against them, and I may consume them, in order that I may make a great nation of you.

But Moses implored. Now here's the thing. Moses gets an answer. You know what happens. God does not write off Israel. God does not create a nation out of Moses. That doesn't happen. He gets what he asks for here.

So that's key. Because what this is, is an approach to God asking for a big thing. I mean, God is heated. God is angry. God is threatening to wipe out this people. And Moses approaches God in a way that he gets what he came for.

Listen to it. Moses implored the Lord his God, and said, O Lord, why does your wrath burn hot against your people? Now if you didn't catch this, this is key. God says to Moses, Moses, your people, who you brought out of Egypt, and Moses comes back and says, your people, Lord.

That is such a good place for us to start. Do you remember how it was with Israel when they were in Egypt? God made a difference between them. And you know what? Moses argues that way in a certain place when he's arguing with the Lord.

He's making a case. This is really what I want to talk about. How do we pray and make a case before the Lord? There's a place where Moses says, Lord, You're the God who makes a distinction between your people.

How's it going to be known that these are your people unless you make a distinction between them? Listen, when I'm living my life and God says I'll never leave you or forsake you, and there's a man over here who does not know God, should we expect there to be a distinction?

Should you expect help in your life and answers to prayer? He has no access to God. Through Christ in one's spirit, we read about boldness and access with confidence. He is the way. No one comes unto the Father except through Him.

Brethren, a lot of us in here have what the masses out there don't have. We have access. You come into the prayer meetings. Lord, we're your people. Please. We're the people who you've bought with the blood of your Son.

I mean, if you wouldn't spare Him for us, Lord, we're wanting to do what you've asked us to do. You told us to clothe the naked. There are people out here who are naked without the righteousness of Christ to cover them.

We want to go out and seek to clothe them. Or maybe it is poor down in Nicaragua. Maybe they're actually our orphans. We support a missionary and his wife who work over in Asia. She's constantly, she owns a four-wheel drive truck now to go up in those mountains and take those children down that are being harvested for organs.
