Let's take our Bibles, if you will, with me and turn to Acts chapter number 15. Thank you, Pastor. Thank you, men. Amen. I'm going to meet you there in just a minute, Acts chapter number 15, and we'll probably hit a verse in chapter 20, and then we'll see what the Lord has for us. A couple of things I've written down I don't remember where now. as is up in the choir, so what can CBT do better? I want to illustrate that. Would everyone that was a member of this church in 1986 stand? Where are the rest? Where are the rest? Thank you. You may be seated. See how few that is? What can you do better? Be found. Be here. Never move. Follow the truth. Brother Sean Edom's depending on that. whether Hodnett's depending on that, whether Brian Elam's depending on that, whether Marshall's depending on that, whether Ted Alexander's depending on that, and I'm depending on it. The question was also asked, and I passed, knowing that I had this time. In actuality, I didn't have an answer. I had to stop and think and pray So I had to pass, I didn't have an answer. The question was, what was one thing that you didn't expect? I believe that was the question when you got to field. First thing was because I wasn't from America. I was born and raised on the field. America was different to me. not the field, and so I'm thinking, I expected everything to be different wherever I went. I expected everything to be different because I was different to start with. So as I thought about it and prayed about it, this one thing came to mind in New Zealand and then in Arizona. I had a pastor tell me that I'd never start a church in Arizona, and I told him he was right, because if God didn't start it, it wasn't going to get started. And I wasn't trying to be funny or facetious or pretty or whatever the term may be on that. I was just, that's the truth. And then when Mojave Baptist Church was planted only by the grace of God, he called me and he congratulated us in seeing the work through. And then he says, you remember I told you, and he was, you know, a somebody and whatever circle. And I said, yes. And he was at our church at Mojave preaching for me when he told me that. And he says, I was wrong. I said, yes, you were. He says, it's bugged me that I was wrong. And I've tried to figure out why I was wrong. And he said, I figured out why I was wrong. And I thought, OK, tell me. And he said, I was wrong because when you went to Bullhead City to start a church, you went as a foreign missionary and not as an American. And he was right. I didn't know anything about Bullhead sit-ins. I just knew God called me. I knew everything would be different. I knew culture would be different because I came from Africa. But the one thing as I thought about that, that we faced a New Zealand that I just, I didn't see it coming. And then we hit it in Bullhead and I didn't see it coming. You're going to know this. I was alone. I was all by myself. I didn't have any family. I didn't have any friends. Back in those days, I couldn't call. I couldn't Marco Polo. I was just there. In New Zealand, we lived in a manse, which is called a parsonage in the States, to probably one of the biggest churches in the area. And they needed to rent that to somebody who they couldn't put it out, publicize it, because of the laws way back then of who they'd have to rent it to. They didn't want to do that. And God crossed our paths and allowed us to rent their parsonage. And it was more than I'd ever afford. They let me pay what I could afford. But the problem was it was on the backside of the church property, and every Sunday morning after church, we had nobody. You drove through this religious church parking lot with all these people in Sunday attire, and we didn't have anybody. I thought I'd learned, but in Bullhead City, it's just like we don't have anybody. And that's the biggest thing I probably didn't expect to face. We're going to go to Acts, but let me go back to 2 Corinthians. Just review our faith promise thought, and I want you to think on these things, okay? In 2 Corinthians chapter 8 and verse number 12, we found our first thought for our week. For if there be first a willing mind. I want you to think on that. What are you willing to do for the Lord this year in faith promise? Our second night, I guess that was yesterday, wasn't it? 2 Corinthians chapter 8, verse number 5, and we read, this they did not as we hoped, but first gave their own selves to the Lord. So the second faith promise thought for the week is first give your own self to the Lord. Don't try to make this faith promise decision on what you can do. Make this faith promise decision on what can God. do. And then tonight, here in 2 Corinthians as well, I want to bring out our third thought of faith promise missions. In 2 Corinthians chapter 9 and verse number 7, it says this, every man, that means person, If you can, if you can't, don't participate. But if you can, if you're here tonight, would you stand? Okay. Now, every one of you can sit down. Do you understand every man? It's just that simple. The faith promised thought for tonight is every man. Every one of you left standing does not have to participate. Right? But every one of you that sat down, God wants you to participate. It's just that simple. All right. Oh, I forgot my stuff. Okay, I wanted to thank... I wanted to thank you for the Jeep. I got plates on it. Brother Marshall, I apologize. I did not see you yesterday. You were in a blue Outback. Okay, Subaru, I mean Toyota Highlander, it's a long ways away. But anyway, they're made by the same people if you don't know that. But anyway, Toyota and Subaru now, anyway, it doesn't matter. The one I passed was like a Ford Fusion or Focus. So I didn't see you yesterday, so I didn't wave at you and I'm sorry. Well, maybe I did. Okay, but I wanted to thank, and I'm just going to pick a couple, okay? But I wanted to thank Mrs. Daniels for my Jeep. I wanted to thank Mrs. Jones for my Jeep. I'm not getting everybody even in this category. I want to thank Mrs. Tully for my Jeep. And why am I thanking them? I'm thanking them because there's a group of ladies. They don't have a Jeep. I don't even know if they could afford the Jeep. For those who can't even afford something like you gave me, thank you. They were part of those every man that gave, and they gave even though they could never afford one. I'm sure Brother Salih's had a part. I haven't checked, found out. I don't know who individually had a part. I will know what churches have had a part. And I offered Brother Salih to ride in my Jeep, because I know how much Brother Salih likes Jeeps. But he can't get his legs up in my Jeep right now. By the way, thank you for my Jeep. Even though you can't, we'll find a step stool or something, we'll get you up in that Jeep. And I do have to buy one for my wife, too. All right, I also said I don't have prayer cards, and I do not. But blessed be the ties that bind. And so what my wife was doing when they asked for all the missionaries ladies is we waited until church started and then we've put the Stephen Harris ties out. All right. So if you're not familiar with that it goes back to my boys and their ability to earn spending money while we were on and it goes back to Kent Gottsmeier, actually. And Kent Gottsmeier came to our church and asked, and I'm not big on selling things in church, I'm very cautious about that. And he told me what it was about. I'm an MK, and I understand that, that means missionary kid. Okay, so I used that term without anybody understanding what an MK was. He said, what'd you say? You had AV. And I literally thought, Audiovisual, I got it, all right. But Alexander messes me up with authorized version, so maybe I misunderstood it. Anyway, so I'm an MK, and so I understood that, and I love to help MKs. And so he came to me, he said, Pastor Harris, he says, my boys have these ties, and if it's all right, if they're Bible-themed and patriotic, et cetera, and would like to be able to do that, I prayed about it. I mean, in the moment, I prayed about it. And God gave me peace. So I said, yes. And so then Kent Gossmeier said, now every pastor that allows my boys to sell the ties in the church for that specific reason, he says we'd like to give him a tie. And he gave me a tie. And I don't know why, but I just kind of automatically took the tie and I turned it over and it said, Handmaid Stephen Harris. I said, that is incredible. Does your wife do that for every pastor? And Brother Gossmeier says, yeah. And I thought, you don't have a clue what I just asked, do you? And he didn't. And so he goes back and he said, now, if you don't like that one, we got several. Just pick one you like. I said, OK. And so then he comes up to me and says, now, Brother Harris, he says, I went back there and I looked at all those tithes. They all say Stephen Harris. And so this isn't me. But Stephen Harris is me. And so then when we started deputation, I called Brother Gotsmeier, I said, I need to find your source, because it works. And so now I help my boys, and my boys are gone. But I present these ties to you tonight as our prayer card, really. And there are several things. Number one, back then it helped my boys. Remind you to pray for Stephen Harris. And then number three, these are tremendous witnessing tools. You wear one of these ties and it's very highly unlikely you will not get a comment on your tie. And they just opened the door for you to say, you know, I got this from a missionary named Stephen Harris and he goes down to Mexico and he tells people about Jesus Christ. Have you ever heard of Jesus Christ? And so that's what we encourage you to do. They're out there. If you're interested in them, just ask us. And they cost money, I'm sorry. But it's just, I asked Pastor, I said, I've got them. I don't need to put them out. I don't necessarily want to put them out. I'm just letting you know we have them. And he said, please do. Now, Pastor, from the people of Iglesia Baptista de Magdalena, would like to give you a shirt. I hope it fits. If it doesn't fit, you're coming down. We'll set you up. All right. And hopefully maybe even get you a Iglesia Baptista de Magdalena shirt. But our people want to give that to you. Miss Stacy, there's some spots on the back. Those are Jeep spots. because they weren't on there when I put it in the... Just marking its territory. All right. Let me meet you in Acts chapter 15. Again, I would challenge you tonight to listen quickly, I believe, hopefully. On Sunday night, We looked at the bridegroom is worthy. And may I reiterate, it's all about him. Last night we had another missionary brethren still here. I say that right. He's headed out tomorrow. So make sure you meet him. You greet him. You encourage him, young family getting ready to head up to the mosquitoes. We saw that the brethren are worthy. Tonight, Acts chapter 15, God bless us, your word. and your thought, may you be honored and glorified for you are worthy in Jesus' name. Acts 15, 26, talking about Barnabas and Paul, missionaries as we know, the Bible says, men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. In chapter 20, if you'll go there with me, in chapter 20 of Acts, chapter 20, I preached this recently at Lehigh Valley Baptist Church. And I didn't have it on my page, but the Lord gave it to me while praying on it this evening. To add, The Apostle Paul says this, we know Paul is that same missionary, he says, but none of these things move me. He's talking about the persecutions and we know Paul was stoned to death, shipwrecked. None of these things moved me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy in the ministry which I have received of the Lord Jesus Christ, to testify the gospel of the grace of God. I preached, and this is essentially the same thought, different message, but none of these things moved Paul. I have a question, what did move Paul? What did move Paul? Being stoned to death didn't move him. The fact that the Holy Ghost witnesses in every city saying that bonds and afflictions abide in me, but none of these things moved me. What did move Paul? This evening's message is along this line, this business, what we're doing, the work of the ministry, of taking the gospel as missionaries, this business is worthy. This business is worthy. My dad went to Africa in 1950, was there for 36 years. In 1986, after 36 years, he went to Canada and served there for a number of years. And I remember my dad saying to me, he says, son, there's not enough money in the world to get me to leave America. And I'm thinking, dad, we've never even lived in America. And then I realized what he was saying. None of these things moved me, but something moved my dad. These men have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. In Luke chapter two, verse 49, the Lord Jesus Christ said to Mary and to Joseph, he said to them, how is it that you sought me? What you not that I must be about my father's business? This business, Can I use that word business? God did. You understand what I'm saying? This business is worthy. Proverbs 27, two says, let another man praise thee and not thine own mouth, a stranger and not thine own lips. Why would these men, brother Alexander? Why would these men, brother Sean Elam? Why would these men, brother Brian Elam? Why would these men, brother Hodnet? Why would these men, Brother Marshall, why would these men, Brother Salih, hazard their lives and the lives of their families? Why? Brother Christianson. Matthew 6 verse number five says, and when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, they have their reward. In the essence of, let another man praise thee. Now what moves these men and why is this business worthy, honor, to whom honor is due. And so I want to highlight tonight Brother Alexander. I want to highlight tonight, Brother Marshall. I want to highlight tonight, Brother Elam. I want to highlight tonight, Brother Elam. I want to highlight tonight, Brother Hodnet. I want to highlight tonight, Brother Christensen. I want to highlight tonight, Brother Salih. I want to highlight tonight, Brother Walson. He's with us. And I want to say this business that we're in, that God has called us to, I want you to know it's a worthy business. It's a worthy business. God will have to vindicate and God will have to let you know. And I have no desire to try to expound and explain, but I did not have to be a missionary. But God called me to, I chose to, and there's no greater calling because God called me to. And I have shown in my life that I didn't have to be a missionary. I have made it in the business world. My little brother is a surgeon. Said to me, Stephen, you'd be a better surgeon than I was. But this business is worthy. This business is worthy. I'm not trying to say that you missed your calling. If you were, God called you to do, brother Doug Wilson, then God bless you for being there and thank you. And Brother Jordan Wilson, God bless you for being there, and thank you. And that goes for every one of you doing what God, where's Brother Ricky Salee? I see his family, but I don't see him. He's security, I guess. Thank God he is. I got a Jeep out there I don't want anybody getting into. I just want to remind you, thank you for my Jeep. I want you to know I'm grateful. Okay, I'll keep going. Brother Napier, for what you've done all your life, now retired, thank you for just doing what God wanted you to do. And I'm not in any way suggesting in any way that what you're doing is not worthy. That's exactly what is worthy in your life. But I'm saying this business that we're about tonight is worthy. This business that we're about this week is worthy and I need to move on. And so I want to give you three main thoughts tonight. And there's several underneath that I'm going to try to run through them. And then I want to give you a concluding Four thoughts, okay? But first of all, so what moves Paul and why is this business of taking the gospel? And so I'm not just saying, thank God for the Marshalls and the Alexanders and the Elims and the Hodnets and the Salis and the Walsons. I'm not just saying, thank God for them. I'm saying, thank God for a church who understands that this business is worthy. And I want us to look at why this business is worthy. And so number one, this business is worthy because we have the example of the Godhead. God thought it was important enough to be involved in. And if God thinks it's important enough to be involved in, I think we ought to think it's important enough to be involved in. And we find the example of the Godhead. Number one, we find the compassion of the sovereign. The Bible said, for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son. And you can't even understand that. that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. God gave his only begotten Son, why? Because he thought this business was worthy to be involved in. And so we have the example of the Godhead, the compassion of the sovereign. Number two, we have the example of the Godhead in the commitment and constraint of the Savior. The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 5.14, for the love of Christ constraineth us, because we thus judge that if one died, he chose For all, then all were dead. And so we have the commitment or the constraint of the Savior. And that just tells me whatever job, whatever business he was in, which did not that I must be about my father's business and that father's business led him to the cross of Calvary and he died on the cross of Calvary. And that's a pretty serious business. And I ought to be involved in whatever business that is. And that's what this is. because we have the example of the Godhead, we have the compassion of the Sovereign, we have the commitment, the constraint of the Savior, and then we have the conviction of the Spirit. The Bible says in Revelation 22, 17, and the Spirit and the bride say, come. And him that heareth say, come. And him that thirst, come. And whosoever will, let him take of the water of life freely. You know who wrote that? The Holy Spirit of God did. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, by the Holy Spirit of God. It is verbally inspired, it is God-breathed, and the Holy Spirit of God, in a conviction that we have known as the Word of God, says this is a worthy business. Get in it! God gave his son, the son gave his life, and the spirit gave us the scriptures. And in that scriptures, we find in Matthew 28, 18, 19, and 20, that the Holy Spirit of God said, go ye into all the world and preach the gospel. We find he is the author of the precept, go. The Bible says in 2 Peter 1, 21, for the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man, but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost, and that Holy Ghost, in Matthew 28, said, go. We have the example of the Godhead and the conviction of the Spirit. He is the author of the precept, go. Pastor Burke's not the author of the precept. Brother Harris is not the author of the precept. None of these men are author of the precept. The church is not the author of the precept. The Holy Spirit of God is the author of the precept, and the precept says go. Why is this business so worthy? Because the example that God had, the conviction of the spirit, he's the author of the precept, and then number two, he's the advisor of the path given. The Bible says in Acts 13, verse number four, so they, talking about Paul and Barnabas, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost departed. And they went here and they went there, and the Holy Spirit is the advisor of the path given. Brother Hodnet, if you're in Scotland, why? Because God said go. And the Holy Spirit says, this is the way. Brother Elam went to Russia and now is in Mason and brother Sean Elam is trying to follow the Lord's leading. And he shared with me some clarity and prayer requests and thank you of how he's more clear now than ever on his Canadian way of going up there and every one of us. I think you know this, but I'm the oddest duck to ever land in Mexico. Mrs. Christian's son loves Mexico. She always talks about Mexico. I'm in Mexico because God sent me. I never dreamed I was going to Mexico. And when I went to Mexico, I never dreamed I was staying. And I still dream that I'm not staying. And I've been there for 20 years. And you tell me, you know, all these people I meet talk about being veteran in this and veteran in that. And I'm thinking, wait a minute, you know, you weren't even born when I went to Mexico. But the Holy Spirit said, go. He's the author of the precept go, he's the advisor of the path given. And then Psalm 119 verse 165 says, great peace have they which love thy law and nothing shall offend them. We have the example of the Godhead, the conviction of the spirit, and he is the assurance of the peace granted. You know why I'm still there? Because great peace have they which love thy law. And so I'm still there. You know how many times I wish my pastor would tell me to leave. And he said, Brother Harris, you do whatever you think the Lord wants you to do. And I said, I was hoping the Lord would tell you what you want me to do and I can get out of here. And I just say, Lord, it was my pastor. I've got to take it up with him. And if you don't believe me, I'm so local church, I'd do it. Because I have a man in authority over me. And he says, come and I come. And he says, go and I go. And I'm serious. He can take it up with God. This business is worthy. Honor to whom honor is due. And I'm telling you, this is an honorable business we're in. Not we're, we. This is an honorable business we got ourselves into. There's none like it. Because of the example of the Godhead, number two. I'll tell you why it's an honorable business. It's an honorable business because of the endeavors of the godly. Men that have hazarded their life for the gospel. Let me give you two points under this. 2 Corinthians 8, verse number one, Bible says, and this is where we're taking our faith promised thoughts from, but the Bible says, moreover, brethren, we do you the will of the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia. Most of us can probably pretty much quote it from there on, how that great, et cetera. We do you the will of the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia. The endeavors of the godly, the contribution of sanctified saints makes this a honorable business. And that's why I say, Mrs. Jones, thank you. And Mrs. Twilley, thank you. And Mrs. Daniels, thank you that I can drive a Jeep when you don't. My dad would say, I can't take that because I have people that support me that don't have that. And how in the world can I have something that my people can't have? That sacrifice to put me on a place. And I feel that. And I thank you for my Jeep. But it's more than that. Because it's an honorable business that we're in, and the contribution, the endeavors of the godly, the contribution of sanctified saints that have sold their lives out to God to say, God, we believe this is worthy of doing for your honor and glory, and we will sacrifice to do this, and we will give to do this, and we will do without to do this, because we believe it's an honorable business. Whiskey not that I must be about my father's business. We find the endeavors of the godly in the contribution of sanctified saints, and then we find the endeavors of the godly in the compulsion of separated servants. Again, men that have hazarded their lives for the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. And Paul said, none of these things move me. And we look at Paul's life and we say, man, Paul, something moved that guy. He was a motivated man. He was a moved man. He said that the Holy Spirit of God said only save, you know, nothing awaits me save the Holy Spirit witness in every city that bonds and afflictions abide me. And none of these things move me. And we think, whoa, Paul. That's called dedication. What moved him? Because he thought it was an honorable business to put his head on a chopping block. Because God so loved the world, He gave. The Son so loved the world that He gave. And the Holy Spirit of God said, go. So we find the endeavors of the godly compel me to understand that this business is honorable, and honor to whom honor is due. But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness. Remember that when you decide on a car payment. And thank you for my Jeep. I mean that. I'll tell you why. I wouldn't have spent the money on it. And so I'm so glad that God moved you to give you something that I wouldn't have got myself. Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness when you make that other commitment. And say Jesus first. And can I be living proof with my yellow Jeep? Did I say I'm thankful? All these things shall be added unto you. It took 20 years, but it seemed like yesterday. The compulsion of separated servants, men that have hazarded their life, says to me, This is an honorable business. Number three, this is the last point. A couple thoughts with it, but it's the last point and then we're going to get our conclusion. So we saw the example of the Godhead says this is an honorable business. Number two, the endeavors of the godly says this is an honorable business. Number three, Brother Jim, you do what you need to do, okay? You're good. Thank you for being here. That's Lucy, by the way. Isn't she cute? Number three. None of these things moved me, but what did? And this is an honorable business, and why? Number three is because the end of the godless. The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 5 verse 10 and 11, For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that every one of us may receive the things done in his body according to that which he hath done, whether it be good or bad, knowing therefore the terror of the Lord. We persuade men. The Bible says in Hebrews chapter 9 verse 27, The Bible says it is appointed unto men once to die, and after this the judgment. That doesn't scare me, but it scares me for others. Because the die without God is the die without hope for all eternity. The end of the godless and what we're trying to do, true missions, true biblical missions is taking the gospel of Christ to the regions beyond. Whether that's your next door neighbor or that's across the street or across the sea, it's taking the gospel. Let's be very careful as a church and I'll preach this and I'm not going to labor it. Do not get wrapped up in the social aspect of it. The poor you have with you always. But the lost die and go to hell. So we find the end of the godless. We find the current condition of the sinner. The position, his position before God is damned. His penalty before God is death. Then we find the catastrophic condemnation of the sinner. We find the current condition. He's damned already. And he's dead. But the catastrophic condemnation of the sinner is the poignant present reality. He that believeth on him is not condemned, but he that believeth not is condemned already because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." John 3 18. I don't know where this idea comes that I'm going to get before God and then we're going to find out. No, it's already found out. It's already found out. It is a poignant present reality and it is a possible permanent relegation. Sunday before last, Brother Hodna preached on Luke 16. And I get on the YouTube and Brother Hodna preached on Luke 16. Revelation 20, verse 12-15, I saw the dead, small and great, stand before the throne of God, before God. The books were opened, another book was opened, which is the book of life, and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books according to their works. Now, this isn't the message, but if you're not saved by works, why are they judged according to their works? And it's very simple, because they're trusting in their works. And God says there's no works that'll save you, so I'll just judge you by your works. Let's see if you're saved or not. And they're not. The sea gave up the dead which were in it, and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them, and they were judged every man according to their works. It's repeated. And death and hell were cast in the lake of fire, and the second death, this is the second death, and whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast in the lake of fire forever and ever, the Bible says. All right. This business is worthy. What we're doing this week is so very important. Honor to whom honor is due, what these men are involved in, but it's past that. It's what you are involved in is worthy. It is worthy. It is worthy. He is worthy. But this business is worthy. The bridegroom is worthy. These brethren are worthy. But this business is worthy. It ought to be top on our list of worthiness things that we're doing. Whatever it is that you think is worthy of doing in life, I'm telling you, it's not as worthy as what this is. Why? Because we have the example of the Godhead. Why? Because we have the endeavors of the godly. Why? Because we have the end of the godless. And I want to conclude with this. Ultimately, ultimately we cannot base our motivation upon these four things. We cannot base our motivation upon a sensual compassion. but upon the Savior's compassion. That sensual compassion is that slide presentation or that whatever it may be to try to get your senses involved. And too many people and too many times faith promise has been given by getting your senses involved. The senses are there and God uses your senses, but that cannot be the basis of getting involved in this business. It has to be the savior's compassion. And when he saw the multitude, he had compassion upon them. Number two, it cannot be based, our motivation cannot be based upon a salesman compulsion, but upon a scriptural compulsion. I am a terrible salesman. I don't want to be a salesman. I don't attempt to be a salesman. I like to present the truth. But boy, I have met some salesmen. You know, the guy that can sell you ice cubes up there where the Wassons are going? And you just, you believe it. The man that can sell you, you know, whatever, and it's like, and I've seen a lot of them, they're called missionaries. And too many church members and too many churches have fallen for their salesmanship, but have never sought, is there a scriptural compulsion on why we need to be part of this God. I believe you ought to be presentable, and I believe you ought to present what is pertinent. I have no problem with all of that, but make sure it's not a salesman's compulsion. Your motivation this week, I'm trying to tell you as a church, do not be motivated in your faith promise by some salesman, some sales pitch, but be led by the Spirit. Number three, a motivation cannot be based upon a shown condition. If I wanted to make money, I'd go back to my country in Africa, and I'd show you pictures of real pictures, too, not those fake ones with that little kid with the vulture next to it. That's a fake picture. Did you know that? So many people are so compiled by what's not even true. The world knows that's a fake picture. It was a setup. But I could take real pictures of real things and real problems in my country of Africa, and I could come back, and I could go all across the United States, and I saw missionary after missionary after missionary, my life tenure in Africa that did that very thing and raised money and raised projects and raised buildings and raised trucks and raised... I don't remember any Jeeps, but... And they would show these awful conditions And your heart just pours out and you think, how can that be? Come down to Mexico and I can show you carton shacks and I can show you bad living conditions. I won't unless you tell me I want to see one of those. Because that's not the problem. What the problem is, is a soul's condition. It cannot be motivation, cannot be based upon a shown condition, but upon a soul's condition. Number four, this is the last one. Our commitment and our motivation in this very worthy business cannot be based upon a sociological concern, but it must be based upon a spiritual and salvation concern. I'm not in Mexico to Make a difference with the mafia issue. I'm just there to see people saved. Now I happen to know that people get truly saved, get out of the mafia. I can show you some in our church. And I feel for them. I really do. Because I live with them. But every day, they pass me by. And I can see it in their eyes. Lonely people filled with fear. Headed who? I know where. People need. Not Stephen Harris. People need. Not a better building. People need. Not more support. The Lord. People need. The Lord. How does it go? How can, when will we realize that people need the Lord? I have no need. God's been very, very good to me. But many pastors, many churches say, what do you need? Brother Harris said, I don't need anything. Well, what can we buy you? Ask God. Everything wears out. I don't need anything. And this church knows, this pastor knows, Mrs. Salee knows. But many, many years I should have come home, tried to raise some support, but I couldn't because people need the Lord. And I'm saying, missionaries, just go. Just trust God. Just go. I'm not saying that. I'm saying follow God. You find out what God wants you to do. And then you do it. And then God will bless. Thank you for your patience. Honor to whom honor is due. And I just want to let you know, this business, oh, It's the best. It's the most honorable business a Christian can be involved in.
