G-d is Calling

0:00 Oh man, well. My great privilege to in to introduce our speaker for today. This family has been such a vital part of the community here now. For I guess the year and a half to two years. I'm not sure it may be longer than that. But it's been so wonderful. They were supposed to been a time that they would have left before but for the pandemic we were blessed. This is one of the blessings of pandemic that we just enjoy that they got to stay here longer because Australia was not open for them to go there and start the mission to be doing. So I just want to invite Dr. Daniel. to come up and it's my great ready to be inviting here.

0:52 The father we just thank you for Dr. Daniels family. Lord for what you've done in his life Lord From The Journey sort of like a Luke as a physician. To now come and to go and be a mission and Lord to go forth and be sent forth to follow you in the ministry. So we just pray your blessings be upon him today as he shares his heart shares the word with us today Leticia every one of us to be impacted. Give us ears to hear what the spirit is saying through Dr. Daniel today. We'll give you all the praise and all the glory. And yeshua's name? a man with his breath Hello. Hello. Good morning. Shabbat shalom.

1:39 Well, do they special day? Because it's Shabbat. but it's double special for me and my family because today we're gonna I'm going to share a little bit about our faith Journey. And how almost how we got? To where we are here at Baruch Hashem today and what's coming up for us next so I want to thank Rabbi Ari for this opportunity of of sharing. sharing our hearts and sharing our ministering what God has called us to and I have to tell you that in preparation for this. I have struggled quite a bit. I've always had an aversion to those messages where the preacher only talks about himself and his life.

2:28 I really had had a problem with those. And yet here I am today trying to do maybe something similar. But my my goal this morning as I say share some of God's stories that he has done in our lives is that you realize that that we are just regular people. That we serve an awesome God. That we are just regular and sinful people. With a holy and awesome God. And so my goal for you as we hear. as I share Is that somehow God will speak into your lives? And and you hear his voice for you today?

3:16 And the title I've given to this. Talk is God is calling. God is calling each one of us. So just as a brief intro for those who maybe don't know us that well. I have to say that this accent is not Texan. It is originally from Spain and you you might have guessed that and that's where we are from my wife and I we met in summer camps. In Spain, and we've been married 21 years now. Yes. That's by the way, that's just our first miracle. Okay in our family. So here's here's our family. We also

4:03 have three children now, it's Alan he was born in Europe. Jonah he was born in Australia and Sydney. She was born here in Texas. So sometimes we we think Lord do not send us to another continent. Okay. Yes, we think our family is full now. so that's us. My wife she's a counselor. And I am probably you guessed it. That's why they call me doctor. I'm a medical doctor actually a real doctor. Okay? Yes. So we we're from Spain and we were living in Spain.

4:50 Surely after Allen was born and he was born in Spain. Monica's sister Mary she died from leukemia. She was 36 years old. and after that not too long my mom. When with the Lord as well from a thyroid cancer, and my mom was 57. So those two events were very close in time. And there we were we were heartbroken. We were overworked. We were trying to support other members of the family. And at the same time we were trying to raise a

5:35 young family ourselves. Our marriage got hit so hard that was completely in Ruins. So we prayed for the Lord to show us show us a way. Show us away. And out of the blue through the company I was working for. The doors open for us to go to Australia the first time. Okay. and so Just to give you an idea. We're going to be tracking the values through the world map today. This is where we were in Barcelona Spain. And we went all the way. South down under to Sydney, Australia Now if you're familiar with the Book of Genesis the

6:23 first book of the Torah and the Bible. We see how every single time after sin and disobedience. There's a movement is words towards the east. And and things start again. So that's exactly how we felt. God was moving our family to the east. to start again And I mean if you look at the map there are not many places. more East from Spain than Australia. Okay, that's a 22 hour flight. It is pretty far. It is pretty far but there in Australia God. rebuilt our marriage and our family we got to invest time together.

7:10 surrounded by beautiful nature and venomous animals And and we found Believers that became our family on the other side of the world. And that's a beautiful thing by the way. That we have been blessed with the family of faith. So we were we were blessed. We felt blessed by God. in our family and then everything changed everything changed our daughter Dana Who was seven at the time this is a new character have an introduced yet our other Dana who was seven at the time. Had been acting weird in the previous days. I think there she is.

7:56 This is Dana. Things like being unable to play soccer when she was one of the most skillful players in the team or complaining about problems with eating and swallowing. What a bit puzzling to us. But then one night as she was practicing piano. She complained that she couldn't use her left hand and we looked at it and it was not following. It was not tracking so that tree girl trigger all of my alarms being a doctor. and it would happen to have a near surgeon friend of our family. So I call him and next morning. We got a MRI appointment at the hospital. By the time we got to the MRI appointment Dana

8:44 was dragging her left. leg already when the specialist came out of the room of the MRI room. He gave us the first and the last name of the brain tumor. that she had at that moment. I knew there was no cure for that tumor. and in that waiting room for both money and I the world seemed to stop spinning right there. course as parents We held it in and we went back to our children. Not telling them anything about it. Not even Dana. And I remember that as we were going home on our way

9:31 home in the car. Money and I were just silent. completely silent we had to make a stop and as we stopped the car. Right in front of us. There it was. The biggest rainbow we have ever seen just starting in front of our car. as soon as we saw that Dana started talking to Alan She said Alan you know? Rainbows are a sign of God's love for us. And you know what heaven is full of them. Heaven is full of rainbows. But you know what also. The Bible says that in heaven, the streets are

10:18 made out of gold the walls have precious stones. but Alan that's not true. I don't know. What's in shock. then explain God only says that so that we can grasp. How beautiful and how amazing is heaven? I cannot wait to go there. one day soon she utter. Monica and I were a speechless as we listen to them. on the day of Danish death sentence So Dana's health. From that moment on worst deteriorated rapidly.

11:06 And within a week one week she could only move her head and was having problems breathing. So she was admitted to the ICU. in Sydney The medical team called Monica and I to what it felt very very small room. They told us that we had two choices. to intubate data and give her radiotherapy on her brain while she was unconscious. Hoping that really therapy would do something and improve her condition at least for a while. or number two to sedate her and keep her.

11:51 comfortable in other words palliative care so they left us in that room. to have some time to think about what we go we're going to do. It really felt like an impossible decision. Monica and I just felt on our knees. and started praying Started praying we were praying God. Do something. do something that that we don't have to make that choice. We can't experience do that. Well after a few minutes, that seemed like ours. A nurse knocked on the door. of the room

12:37 and she asked us to to follow her. She took us back to the ICU. and there she was Dana was standing up on her bed. And she was breathing normally. That's all we needed at that moment. That's all we needed and we prayed God for his answer. Dana started radiotherapy without the need of being intubated or Half-Life support of any kind. And that was the beginning of a journey for her. During the weeks that followed. We were constantly praying reading scripture.

13:24 seeking the Lord I don't think I've never I've ever sought the Lord. Like back then. with the same intensity one morning as I was reading my Bible. I came across this passage. And I want to pause for a second now and go to that scripture together. So it is found in the britada Shah. By the way, that's the rainbow. We always have a rainbow in in everything pretty much we produce remembering. Not only that rainbow that appear that day, but also Dana's love for rainbows in heaven. This is a passage. It's found in the britada shine the letter to the congregation in Rome. So it's

14:11 in the book of Romans chapter 12 verse 6 and this is the the version that I was reading that day ESV the English Standard Version. I'm going to start reading in verse 4 just for context. For as in one body we have many members. And the members do not all have the same function. so we though many are one body in Messiah and individually members of one another. Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us. Let us use them. I had read this passage before that's probably you have.

14:58 But the difference was that that morning. I heard God saying. You should use the gift. I have given you. Well, this is what I replied in my head to that voice that I was hearing. I'm not the right person. I have disappointed you so many times. Someone else can do it. Someone else can do it. And maybe you've had the same conversation with god before. I'm not the right person. Someone else can do it. then Something that is right in front of us that had always

15:44 been there. Struck me very hard. See it says that the gifts. differ according to Grace the gifts differ according to Grace they are gifts after all we do not earn them. right each one gets a different gift. Not because we are better or worse. But just because it's a gift God's grace decides that that's what he wants to give us. Not only that this I learned later with my

16:31 studies, but you know gifts and Grace in Greek. They have the same root. Gives is hadesmata. And Grace is hotties. It's like how much more connected are those two words? gives and Grace They are the same. They are the same. So this is my first application for you today. It is not because you are more or less special. It is not because you are more or less special. That God has bestowed gifts upon you. And let me assure you you have one or

17:17 more gifts. But it is not because you are special it is according to his grace. and the serving Grace so you should use that gift. You should use that gift whatever that is. Because I read it a body needs all the members. all the members all of them But it cannot operate without a food without a hand without a thumb. Just can't cannot function normally without them. And in the same way the body of Messiah cannot operate properly without each one of you using your gifts.

18:03 just can't you think It might be possible, but just can't. So the god the gifts that God has given you are important. Whatever that is. Use them. It is not about you. It is about God's grace towards you. So after reflecting on this passage that morning, I'm feeling called by God to serve him. Then I did what most of us do when that happens. Yeah. Maybe one day maybe one day. but right now You know right now I have my daughter fighting between life and

18:50 death. I'm not sure about this calling thing. You know, I have other things to to care about to look after maybe that's you this morning. And so that morning I share my thoughts and my time with God with no one with no one. the following week I met with a good friend for a coffee. And we were talking about everything that was going around with Dana and her disease and everything and and I was a blue. He says brother. I have a scripture I have to share with you. Guess what passage it was? Romans 12:6 having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us. Let us use them.

19:38 And my friend just went on saying that I had a gift to read and teach scripture that he appreciated so much. But he didn't say anything else. And I thought that's an odd verse to encourage someone that is going through the loss of a child. Don't you think? But I didn't say anything else and to be honest I moved on I didn't make much of it. Now that we can we visited a congregation in the Sydney area. And as we were listening to the message, the the speaker picked up his Bible. and Open Romans 12 6.

20:24 Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us. Let us use them. Okay, this was the third time. in a week was I missing something is it Romans 12 six week or something? You know when things are repeated in a scripture three times. It means that they are really really important. And so when I heard that verse for the third time, I was really conflicted. I It fell on me like a big weight. So when we went home I couldn't take it anymore. And I told Monica I said. You know, this is what's happened Romans 12:6

21:12 is chasing me. literally everywhere I go it's just there. You know what? She told me. she says I have always known that. I have always known that we would be. in full time ministry I was just waiting for you to come to the same conclusion. What? It was like yeah, you finally got the memo. See how you know some of us learned the tough way. I'm one of those but finally we were now on the same page as a

21:58 couple in terms of filling the the Lower West calling us in that sense, but we didn't know what to do because the reality was that our daughter was still sick. And her prognosis in the on average was one year one year of life. That's all she had on average. So data recovered about 90% offering from her function. And that only lasted a few weeks. We got to enjoy that time together. And then her health her health started to decline again. in the middle of that process I went back. to my Bible and my time with the Lord my scripture And then God gave us our family

22:46 another passage. Okay, it wasn't Romans 12:6 at that time. I got that one. And he gave us this passage its own 46:5 in the NIV version. This is the version I was reading when I got it the new international version. It's a 466 verse in other versions in the Hebrew Bible. It says God is within her. She will not fall. God will help her at break of day. In context the psalm is here. He's talking about a city. About Jerusalem, right? So if you ask me and some of you have been attending to

23:31 Wednesday night bible studies, if you ask me can we draw a Timeless principle from this passage that works for kids that are terminally ill. I would say no, probably not. Okay. Probably not. nonetheless I believe God can use. his truth his scripture to speak to us in particular situations Now we got to be careful with that. And it's always wise to seek counsel of others when you feel that's the case. Okay, always do that before taking a passage out of its context when you

24:18 apply things. Now what got me? Applying this passage. to my daughter Dana was very profound. it was the feminine pronoun she or her and you would say, okay. That's very profound. Yes. I know a pronoun. well Look at this in English the worst city. has no gender and therefore we refer to a city as it right. We don't use she or her. Of course the pronoun comes from the Hebrew.

25:05 In which city it is feminine? But that's only took for me to consider when I was reading this in English plain English. That somehow God was telling me. That he was doing he was going to do something. with data It just took a pronoun. Did this mean that God was going to heal her? We didn't know. But what this verse gave us was peace. peace in the middle of a destructive disease peace in the middle of seeing our daughter the client her functions and and lose. a lot of things

25:51 few weeks later Dana's Health had the client considerably and one day she didn't want me to take her out of bed. She couldn't move much. He only could move her right arm and her head. And so I would take her out of the bed and bring her out to the dining room. every day and and this day she wouldn't she wouldn't want that. And that didn't feel as her normal self. She was always very active. Even you know, she was limited. And so later in the day, we went back to the room and we found her with this very shallow, very irregular breathing. And Monica and I looked at each other.

26:37 And somehow we knew that the end was near for her. So through tears we sat at each side of her bed and we started singing her favorite songs her favorite worship songs. As we were kissing her and touching her and holding her hand. And after a few minutes of us just pouring our love and our praise our worship there. Monica stopped singing and and this is what she said to Dana. Dana If you see Yeshua. Hold his hand and do not let go.

27:26 Immediately when Dana heard this she turned her face and look at Monica. Straight to her eyes. They had this big eyes and they were wide open she was She had an expression of surprise on her face and she was staring right at Monica. Monica then she repeated the question. She said Dana. If you see Yeshua. Hold his hand and don't let go. Dana continued staring at Monica without blinking just astonished so Monica then

28:12 ask her. Dana are you seeing Yeshua? Dana noted we froze. But somehow money can rephrased the question. then I mean if you can see Yeshua right now. Dana not it again. Somehow Monica came up with a follow-up question. Where is he? So Dana lifted her, right?

28:58 hand and pointed at the side of her bed. God is within her. She will not fall. God will help her at the break of day. That was a pivotal moment for us. And a moment that we've treasure since then. I have to say we haven't shared this with many people. and From This Moment onwards Dana had a piece that she had never had the disease. Dana was a fighter. She was persevering.

29:43 She was decided. From the moment. She was born and she was a baby. she was a character, you know, she was feisty she would. She would let you know what she wanted. But from this moment. She was content. She was full of peace. And we told no one about this. We told no one about this. That very same night a friend of ours who is an artist. She was awakened in the middle of the night with the urge to paint something. She stayed up all night until she finished her painting. and in the morning

30:29 She brought it to us. At that time we were already in a hospice for children. So she brought us the painting. And this is what she painted. Dana when with Yeshua today's after this But Yeshua had been with her. all the time we have lost other relatives as I was explaining some of that at the beginning. But the pain of losing a child.

31:16 Just cannot be compared. Cannot be compared. we know of many families that never recover from this. marriages that break apart chronic depression suicide the loss of a child kills parents and money and I were not better. Or immune to that. for the following months we spent countless nights. Just ending our days. in tears praying together crying out to God for comfort.

32:02 and for healing because we were broken. but God God was determined. Determined to use this tragedy. for our good it was determined to use this tragedy for our good and for his glory. He continued to be with us. He continued to work in US. And he continued to call us to use our gifts. After seeking counsel and much prayer a bit more than a year. Later. I couldn't my job as a medical director in a big company in Australia. We sold everything

32:48 we packed our suitcases and we came to the promised land. to Dallas, of course So here we are. That's us. In Sydney and going all the way to Dallas. So we're all over the place here in Dallas we We had a clear understanding that I needed some theological training, you know, being a doctor. You don't go into a operating room with some training right? You wouldn't want that. you don't want to be that patient, so Yeah, we needed I needed some theological training.

33:34 So we we came here and I went to Dallas Theological Seminary to get equipped. Not soon after we arrived and I started my degree Monica was offer a full-time scholarship. to do a master's in counseling which it was her undergrad and so we both graduated from DTS. I graduated in 2019 right before the unnamed year and Monica graduated just this summer. all these by God's grace all these by God's grace because

34:22 I really have a problem falling asleep. I mean I fall asleep everywhere. I have a list of stories for another time around that but I fall asleep everywhere and I had to study at night. after being 40 Just a miracle another miracle. So we graduated. And on top of that in the way in this process. Sydney our little one was born and she's Let me tell you she's another miracle of her own. Okay for the sake of time, I'm not gonna get into the detail, but I just have to mention this because it's part of the picture. Here is the abbreviated everybody version. Sydney was

35:07 not supposed to survive after birth. She was diagnosed with a lethal heart condition. And just in a nutshell it is that the left heart the part of the heart that pumps your blood to all the body right is the strong heart. That part was almost in existent. So small, it was not functional. And just for you to understand it was not that she had a little heart. No, it was like that ventricle that side. was atrophiated It was residual. That thing is was not going to change. Okay. Yes. She was growing that thing was going to stay the same. And so every single time we went to the hospital through the pregnancy. They would say

35:53 you have to stop the pregnancy. Okay, you have to stop the pregnancy, which is another nice way to say just kill the baby. Okay? Yeah. So right after seven months of pregnancy and many visits to the hospital with the same request. We decided to have a prayer meeting at our house. And this was not too long after we arrived so we don't have many friends, but we invited everyone we knew and we had a group of people coming to our house and pray for Sydney and her life. You know after losing a child. The soul thought of losing another one was unbearable for us. So we were not at a good spot.

36:39 psychologically and All the all the ails. so we prayed we lifted up Sydney in prayer it was just amazing movement of the of the roof and at the next Cardiology appointment after the prayer meeting. The doctor could not explain what the ultrasound was showing. He showed to us. We had seen the previous ultrasounds and now we were seeing the most recent ultrasound and Sydney's left heart had grown.

37:24 Not only had grown. It was fully functional. It was pumping blood to her body. Like a regular healthy, baby. Of course, we were crying and a mess. Yeah. But I'm saying I'm saying this because I want to make a blatant statement. God is at work today. God is at work today. And not just like, you know, he's doing something. He said work like in the Biblical times. God continues to show up and perform Miracles among his people.

38:11 Now the fact that he does not intervene. Every single time in the way, we won. Does not negate that truth. And our families are testimony to that reality. The reality that we live in that World marred by sin. Fallen full of disease accidents death We are all subject to those by the way. No one is immune to that. But at the same time God is in the work of redeeming this world. one person at a time one Miracle at a time

38:57 Look, we prayed for Dana. And God didn't heal her. We pray for Sydney. And God heal her. The fact that we do not understand God's sovereignty God's mind. There's not the night who he is it affirms who he is. A god whose thoughts are way above our thoughts. So this is my second application for you today. Whatever comes to you. Whatever that is, and I know some of you are facing disease. Some of you are facing Financial struggle. Some of you are heartbroken. A relationship that ended whatever that is.

39:46 Just remember that God is not far. God is not far. He might be right beside you. Right beside your bed. And you just do not see him. He's right there. The outcome might not be what you want. Might not be what we want. But God is with you. all the way all the way until the end. Even though the end. We know where we all end unless he comes unless Messiah comes right? But that is the great message. That is the great message. of the Jewish Messiah that God chose Israel

40:34 for him to establish a relationship. to be with Israel first in a tent then in a temple. But the idea he had in mind all the time. Was for him to be with Israel. There is no greater gift that God himself. No greater blessing than God himself his presence his checking up. And that is why Messiah came to bring God to us. To bring God to us. and so God has called our family. To take the message of the Jewish Messiah to the original hearers of the message.

41:22 To the Jewish people and to minister them in a Jewish way. in that process I want to share. Some passages. Okay. I know it's for me. It's all about scripture. That's the main way God speaks to me. and in this case Like before isn't the book of Romans. I have a special relationship with the book of Romans have some of the Spanish speakers know. But he was Romans 1 16. And this is a tlv version, but I am not ashamed of the good news. For it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who trusts. to the Jew first and also to the Greek

42:08 now just A quick note the Greek does not mean that people living in Greece. Okay, it is a term that Just covers all the Gentiles. The Greek world was referring to all the Gentiles in a position to the Jewish people. So Paul is not ashamed of these good news because they are the power of God to save people. And I want you to look at the verb there is. is impressive tense was the power of God is the power of God and will be the only way that people get safe through trusting.

42:56 in the Messiah Now I hope you agree with that. But there is the only verse the only verb in the inverse. Is that one at least the second part of the verse? There's no other verb. So that verb is governance also the second part to the you first and also to the Greek. That's present tense. God today is in the work. of saving the Jewish people first And then also the Gentiles. God today is still. in the work Of saving the Jewish people first the Jewish people Israel is still God's Apple. The apple of God's eye.

43:41 Is a soft spot it is his priority. Israel and then also the Gentiles because through the salvation of Israel. Comes the blessing to the Nations. So I was pondering with this. I realized That if I I was called to Ministry, I had to be called to the Jewish people first. in Romans, 11:11 It says that. salvation has come to the Gentiles to the Nations. in order with the purpose of provoking Israel to jealousy and you would think okay. So what does a gentile have?

44:27 That is going to move a Jewish person to jealousy. Because if you think about it Jewish people are the recipients of the Oracles of God. They were given the Torah. And God's presence in the temple. What does half a gentile? That a Jewish person may want. There's only one thing really. Is the incarnated Torah? Is a messiah. and so even though that anyone of us may feel led to express. Your relationship with messiah in many ways in the end it is that relationship with the

45:15 Messiah that moves anyone particularly Israel to jealousy to notice that there's something special about you. It is not how I dress what I do. It is. my Messiah my Messiah Yeshua Is what makes me special? There's nothing in me. And so a few verses down chapter 11 It says something that we should keep in mind and we've seen with sung this today. because if Israel formerly rejected Yeshua as a messiah and that led to the reconciliation of the nations of the world of Gentiles

46:02 accepting the Messiah Paul says what will Israel's acceptance be acceptance of the Messiah. but life from the dead now what is life from the dead? There's another word for that. anyone Resurrection, right Resurrection, so Paul is saying when Israel accepts a nation the Messiah. There's the rest of the Resurrection The Resurrection. And when is that going to happen? When is the the resurrection of the Dead happening? Well according to scripture that will happen when in the last day, right? when Yeshua when the Messiah returns

46:49 That's a big day. I really long for that day. because in that day I'm going to see yes, I'm gonna see my daughter. Many of us are going to see our loved ones but above that. We're gonna see our Messiah. And he's gonna redeem everything. Now that only is going to happen when Israel. Accepts Yeshua as a messiah. I mean Yeshua himself said that when he was facing Jerusalem, he said you're not going to see me again until you say Baruch habab Hashem Adonai blessed. Are you the one who comes in the name of the Lord?

47:34 I really long for that day. and that's been that's been one of our passions. When you I think happens to everyone but when you lose a child. I just want to be Heaven, you know. Just want to be Heaven all the time. When he was very recent and we were in a plane. Flying to Spain Alan and and Monica and I we were sitting together in that row. and all the sudden we are just talking is like will it be awesome if the plane crashes? Like we would go to heaven right now altogether with Dana.

48:20 And then we just realized that we were talking a bit loud. We were like oops that my sound a bit weird. but sometimes I think well, it is sad that it is through that. pain that I get to desire heaven But I'm a whole person. I cannot change one thing or another. I want to be in heaven to see my daughter, but I want to be in heaven because Messiah is going to change everything. so having said this we became missionaries with chosen people Ministries in 2019 chosen people Ministries on your

49:06 left is one of the oldest if not, the one the oldest Jewish Ministry organization in the US. And at that time we also had we joined celebrate Messiah, which is the sort of Australian branch of people Ministries. so from before the pandemic, you've been hearing a rabbi re saying many times announcing that we were here for a period of time and that we were going to Australia to start a Messianic congregation. Well, it is about two and a half years later that it is happening. Okay, and it's been tough for us to not know if it wasn't a happen or not, but I have to say that

49:53 we were at a very good place. we were blessed and With within super blessed here. We feel that you guys have become our family and it is going to be very hard for. our family to live but at the same time we feel compelled to follow the Lord's lead. and to go and serve him down under So that's what we're doing now. Okay. We're just jumping on a plane again. and going back to Sydney, Australia That's where we were I just want to give you maybe a closer picture of of Australia. Oh. Wow.

50:39 Yes, well that's been pushed by the way, we're not living this month that will be tight. We're moving their Lord willing the first week of October. Okay, not August. This is Australia. This is the state where Sydney we're going to be a ministering at is New South Wales. And here is a bit. Larger there is okay. So New South Wales This is the greater Sydney area. Right here. in green and we're gonna make that larger as well. there is in this area in the Sydney area

51:26 There is more than five million people. That on average live there. out of those five million There are 50,000 Jewish people. Okay about about that number 50,000. And I'm going to give you now. A specific statistic about Messianic congregations. Okay after doing a lot of research and work with come up with these number. Zero Messianic congregations, okay. and so those called us to go and start one.

52:12 In Sydney, and we're going to be at San Ives. Sanitis is on the North Area. So nice is a mainly a Jewish suburb. There's about 7,000 Jewish people living there. There are a couple of synagogues and Orthodox and reform and there's a Jewish school. And so that's where we're going to go. We're not starting. We're not starting from a scratch. There's a group of believers. They've been waiting there. For more than two years for us and they it's a Bible study. They made twice a month on Earth Shabad. And I think they are here there they are. They're called this Bible study is called breed had a shot.

52:58 And it's a Messianic Bible study. And we are going to start together and we're gonna plant this congregation officially legally and we're gonna start meeting every week on Shabbat morning God willing once we land in Australia. So that's exciting. But it is also daunting because Ministries is not an easy thing to do. It's not easy. Ministry cannot be done. On your own it's not a one-man job or a one family job. It requires like an army. Of people okay an army of people. Covering us in prayer and helping us

53:44 financially as well. So right now we're about 80% funded. Covering our monthly and Ministry needs but there's still about 20% that we need to raise in order for us to cover those needs. So this is just a representation A visual representation of that with some examples for instance. What you could do? Outside we have a table. So we're going to be there after the service with our ministry information and we will be answering any questions you might have. Please do not leave without signing for our monthly newsletter. So we'll be sharing what we are doing what the lawyer is doing mainly every month

54:31 so we can keep touch keep in touch through that or email or regular mail. And we would ask you that you would pray. about joining our partnership team Okay, whichever way that looks it doesn't matter. We realize not everyone is called to leave everything and go. But you're going to still support. You can still support. because remember as a body we need everyone. Everyone is important. and it's not a matter of size or You know being better or worse or any of that, so please just pray for that and whatever the Lord leads we're just blessed.

55:19 You know that. We've been part of you for this time. And we'll be definitely in touch and we hope to visit us regular. as regularly as the ministry and the Lord allow allows but By the way, oh there's more slide. I forget that one there is so we have a web page a Ministry page that you can visit. It's chosen people.com slash Daniel Valley. Well that I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure that If you visit the website. And you look up the ministry.

56:04 And then you decide whatever you want to do. You won't be breaking the fast. Okay, I'm pretty certain. I present that if you do that. You know, I think that's allowed. just playing but but really you should not affect you. Okay, so feel free to to visit Ministries and because those things are gonna draw you closer to the Lord to see what the Lord is doing in the lives of people. so I think we thought farther Ado I I want to thank you for everything. You've been again a blessing to our family and we're gonna have an event I think is gonna be announced more formally next week,

56:49 but we're gonna have like a send-off event on Shabbat September 17th. So you all are. Welcome to join us. We'll be praying together and and share him some time of Fellowship in the Havre Hall and there'll be more information about that. I pray really that everything you've heard. When you think about it do not think about me. Think about a God that does miracles. That changes people's lives. people imperfect and broken like me and my family my family and I and that God wants to use you as well. Just remember that? that God may be sitting

57:36 Yeshua may be sitting right next to you right now. The fact that you don't do not see him does not change the reality. May God bless you and may the ruach be with you. Amen. externalia you finally yesterday.
