Hey everybody, welcome back to the God's Little One podcast. I'm your host, kent, and today we are going to be talking to Brother Randy Snow from Denton, texas. He is the pastor of Faith Tabernacle Assembly of God. Thank you for being here with us, brother.
Speaker 2:Hey, my privilege Brother Kent Glad to be here with his brother.
Speaker 1:Hey, my privilege Brother Kent Glad to be here. So, brother Randy Snow, he's done a few things with missions. You've been several places, so before we get in, the first thing I want to ask you is how did you get into missions work?
Speaker 2:Well, I came we just celebrated 30 years a couple Sundays ago here at Faith Tabernacle and always had a heart for missions. I was a part of a church there in Neosho that was very missions-minded and then, graduating from Bible school, had many missionaries through the years. That impacted our lives. But in 1995, at the end of that year, I was able to go on my first missions trip. Brother Robert Holmes had called me and actually met this guy from Virginia by the name of Dan Taylor, and both of us went together to Africa and did three weeks traveling and preaching at conferences all across the land of Nigeria. It was that's that was my first taste in personally getting involved in in missions.
Speaker 1:Do you have any stories of what happened on that trip?
Speaker 2:Oh, it was, it was. It was phenomenal because, as we was in air flying over there, the country went into civil war and all of the ambassadors of every country, including the United States Embassy out of Lagos, pulled out. Wow, actually, there was a strong fighting between the Muslims and the Christians. One of the churches that I preached in about two weeks before had been burned and several of the Christians had been filleted.
Speaker 1:Wow.
Speaker 2:It was all in the provision and timing of the Lord. It was a very from the fleshly side. It was very scary. Yeah. But yet we knew that God had called us and placed us there to encourage the men and women of God in the land of Nigeria, and I saw all kinds of miracles take place. In that meeting In Joss I prayed for a girl whose hands was drawn up. They came out. There's probably 25,000 to 3,000 people. 2,500 to 3,000 people.
Speaker 2:That was in that meeting that night and I called several men up and I said do you believe God can heal this girl? And some of them said a few of them said yes, One of them said no, Several of them said I don't know, but we prayed for her. I told her to stretch her hands forward and you could hear her fingers popping as God miraculously healed her and brought restoration. The Spirit of God filled the house. It was just a powerful meeting and God did some great things that night that I'll never forget. It was wonderful.
Speaker 1:That's powerful.
Speaker 2:What sparked? Go ahead. No, it was just a memorial trip for me that set my heart towards missions.
Speaker 1:Right yeah, what sparked your initial interest in missions work?
Speaker 2:Well, really that all started through Brother Robert Holmes. He was the first. I came here to the church and Brother Holmes was one of my teachers in Bible school and he came here and talked a lot about Africa, and so I was intrigued by that, and then he gave me the opportunity to come over and to travel all across Nigeria and basically opened the door, gave me a seat at the table, an opportunity, and that's where it came from.
Speaker 1:Right table an opportunity, and that's that's where it came from, right. So you I I knew you had been to africa. When I was talking to brother danny about getting this podcast together, I was figuring out questions and stuff and he told me definitely talk about you going to africa. Besides that, where all have you been?
Speaker 2:well, we've been back. We actually now, uh, as the chairman of Landmark Charitable Foundations, we have a Bible school in Lusaka, outside of Lusaka in. Zambia in. Baleni. We have a Bible school there. A pastor friend of mine, pastor Sinet. We've been able to come alongside him and it's just been phenomenal. I've been able to preach all across Tanzania. I've preached in Zambia and down to Abuja and then a lot there in Nigeria.
Speaker 2:But, been to Tanzania probably on three different occasions, preaching district councils with the Assemblies of God and just seeing miraculous things happen in Africa, Love Africa.
Speaker 1:Right, so we've got as much time as we need to tell as many stories as we want. So I want you to take some time. And what is your most powerful memory from Africa? Doing missions, work in Africa?
Speaker 2:Oh my, you know you're saying that, brother Kent. One thing that comes to mind is one of the last times I was there. I was in the Gaeta district preaching with the district superintendent, and it was a national televised audience. Wow.
Speaker 2:And I preached on the Bride of Christ that night. All of the pastors in the region come together and that culture. They separated the men from the women. The men sit on the left side, the women sit on the right side, the big camera was in the back and I was preaching about the bride of Christ and that Jesus was coming again and we had to be faithful until he returned. There was a man that was sitting in the back that at the end of the message got up and marched down the middle, dragging his feet, slowly coming, and when he, as he come by him, you could see everybody get real quiet right he came all the way to the.
Speaker 2:he came all the way to the platform and walked right up and started speaking to the superintendent. And so the superintendent started crying and he come over to me and he said this is my neighbor, this is a Muslim imam that has been. He is the head. He has pronounced curses. There was fighting, that was going on, and he said he was very sick and he heard all this music going on yesterday and he came over here and he wanted to know what was going on and would we be quiet? And I told him no, we are having a conference and there's a man from America that is here preaching. You need to come hear him. And he said he has come tonight and he wants to know if he can be a part of this bride of Christ. And so, right there, we prayed for him. He raised his hands, he knelt down on the platform, asked Jesus to come into his heart and life, forgive him of his sin. He was turning from his old traditions and ways to follow Christ. And that place erupted. If you could imagine 800 Africans jumping and shouting and rejoicing and that superintendent dancing around on the platform because a man, just a few days before that had pronounced curses and put out a hit on different Christian pastors who had become deathly sick. But God had raised him up and saved him that night in the service. So that was just one of the things.
Speaker 2:And then in Zambia, we was in Zambia one night. There with Brother Terry Miles was fixing to preach and one of the deacons came up to Pastor Sinan and his chest was his heart. He fell over in the floor. We had registered RN doctors that was there with us on our trip. He fell over in the in the altar area, fell back, his eyes rolled back and he said I'm, I'm five feet from him. He completely quits breathing. His chest is not moving.
Speaker 2:Brother Sinan is about to announce Brother Terry Miles to come preach. Brother Sinan reaches over, grabs this Brother Charles by the hand and realizes what's going on and he starts slapping his hand. He hollers at some of the young men there and says Stand him up, stand him up. Well, they set him up and his arms are just flopping over His head's, down on his chest. I mean he's not breathing. And Brother Simon walks over there, flaps both hands and then lays his hands on his head and said Death, you have no place in this house. I rebuke you, get out of here. And then he looks at them boys and says Stand him up. And I'm thinking the man is dead. I don't know how they're going to stand him up because they're holding him. There's about three 18, 19-year-old boys behind him. That's holding both sides and one of them under his arms in the back. They go to stand him up and, as God is my witness, when he gets about his legs was stiff. When they stand him up, he stands straight up, raises both hands in the air. Brother Sinait thinks nothing of it. He says now go over there and sit down, brother. He said Brother Miles, you come and preach.
Speaker 2:In their culture they pray, they believe God. And I told the students and those that was there with us you saw a dead man raised to life by faith and power. Jesus is the same. We've got so much stuff here in America. We run to the doctor, we run here and there. They don't have all of that. When they have Jesus they have everything. So I've seen miracles take place and because they believe, Right.
Speaker 2:You tell them what God's going to do and what he's done, and then when they see it in those kind of circumstances, you know it's miraculous.
Speaker 1:It is.
Speaker 2:Miraculous.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's very powerful. We've seen some. I know I've never been in the area that y'all have done that, but I know from just stories of that and stuff. In Honduras we have seen some powerful, powerful stuff, and that story that you told before this one about the Muslim had me. I wanted to say that shows that God has no limit. There's no disease he can't heal, there's no lost person he can't save. He has no limit, right, nothing too hard for our God.
Speaker 1:Amen, brother, Amen. So you mentioned a minute ago. You talked about how y'all are involved with doing. Y'all have Bible colleges, or did you say Bible colleges or Bible schools?
Speaker 2:We have a Bible college there that we've helped get started through Landmark Terrible, yes.
Speaker 1:Do you have any powerful stuff that's happened with that you can talk about?
Speaker 3:Well, that was Pastor Sinan there that I was just telling you about Right, yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, I know what you're saying.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we went and preached their first graduation Right and they had, I think, 15 students that graduated from the Bible college. That have all went out. Now Many of them are pastoring around through Zambia and so we've helped them build churches and dig wells. Then we go back a lot of times through kids' crusades and stuff like that.
Speaker 1:Do you have a powerful story through a kids' crusade? You've done.
Speaker 2:We have seen that when you go into a village and you set up a kids' crusade, you'll see the people come. The older people come. They love the balloons and the puppets as much as the kids right and I've seen.
Speaker 2:I have seen them. Uh, in one place we was in we had to separate between two. We had so many, I believe, in one day we fed about anywhere from 3,800 to 4,000 that we crammed into this building with the Sikh team and then we lined them all up as they come out and gave them balloons. Right.
Speaker 2:And I got so tired of just running them through and just handing them. I hollered at them all to stop and you can imagine 3,000 kids and they had a mega horn and I I got down on my hands and knees because I I wanted it to be personal, right, and so the the door that I was in, there was two of us in my door, two at the other side door, and I wanted to see those children in the eye and give them that little smarty candy or the Pop-Tart and a balloon and see them in the eye.
Speaker 2:And when I got down on my knees and I looked at those kids and I put that balloon in their hands, I mean we had to have guys. There was people there that was standing this is going to sound mean but they were standing out there with the end of a water hose that they had cut about four foot long like a whip to keep people from the community from getting up there and cutting in line to get those kids water, their balloons and their candy. But all of those kids that had been there and it was they would be crying, they would be thanking us.
Speaker 2:I mean, it was, it was just, it was phenomenal and only eternity will tell what God was able to do in the hearts of those children, and that church has grown supernaturally. It's just been phenomenal to see what the Lord has done through touching the lives of children.
Speaker 1:Right, so you see crazy things when you go on a missions trip because our culture is so different. Like you said earlier, what is something culture-wise that that has struck you differently with different countries you've been in?
Speaker 2:I would say for me, I can handle a lot of things right um, but for me personally, just straight up, I'm just an old country boy that likes meat, beans and taters, and sometimes trying to eat some of the stuff that's placed in front of me is probably my hardest challenge okay, you bring that up you know, yeah, I remember when I went on that trip with y'all brother, either you or or brother Phil Marino was telling me that story.
Speaker 1:Please tell that story because it is so funny.
Speaker 2:Well, that was in Guatemala and the pastor offered us this specialty drink and it was goat milk and it had rice in it and I think maybe an egg or something that had been broken and stirred up. It was warm and I don't I don't like goat milk on a good day I don't really eat rice any day and sure not raw egg broke up in it. That was was one of the. I mean, you know you would want COVID, if you had to drink that, to be able to taste it I mean, and the texture of that I can still remember.
Speaker 2:And so what happened on that trip was Brother Phil Marino was there and he's got a cast iron stomach man, he can eat and drink anything. So he took his and he's got a. He's got a cast iron stomach man, he can eat and drink anything. So he took his and he just downed it. I mean he just walked, I mean he just gobbled it like it was, you know, lemonade on the day of 110. So I seen him set his cup down. But when he set his cup down, I went over and set my, my glass down by his and then picked up his cup and walked off, and so he turned around a little bit. He seen his cup was full and so he was blaming me. I said no, they come around and said oh, you, like you, like you know you want more. And I said oh, no, no, no, I'm fine, I'm fine.
Speaker 1:So he's standing over there looking at me shaking his head, but he took one for me that day, right, yeah, there's some. You see some crazy things when you go overseas. They the culture, yeah is. You don't realize how much it is until you go, but the culture is very different than what we're used to right here because, like you know, I'll talk about I talk about this every time I talk to somebody with missions.
Speaker 1:Well now, the culture is different in different areas, like I'll talk about the culture in the mountains of honduras. When it comes to them, as far as getting into a service, or what they're willing to do to go to a service. They're willing to walk miles to get to a church. They don't care. That's their life. I talked to Brother Joey on a podcast one of our first ones we did and he just said that's all they have.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:It's all they got.
Speaker 2:Yeah, well, that's what they live for, yeah.
Speaker 1:That's what they live for. So when you went on your first trip, you came back. How did you feel when you came back? What was your reaction when you came?
Speaker 2:back, I felt honored that the Lord would send us to go. Right. I felt a connection that has transformed my life and transformed our church and missions, and I felt blessed. I never want to forget how blessed we are and how good God's been to us. I believe we're going to be held accountable for all the things. We are spoiled. We are blessed beyond measure, you know, to have what we have. And. I found this out too. I found it's not about what you have, it is who you have. Right.
Speaker 2:And when you have these, because there was people that was just as happy. I mean, they served the Lord, they was tremendously encouraged and blessed, you know. So it's not about what you have, it's who you have. Right.
Speaker 1:How has missions work affected your church?
Speaker 2:Well, I came back from that and then we started trips. I started taking people on trips. I started doing different things. That's really how Landmark Charitable Foundation was started. I started taking some of our board. We went to Guatemala. We've been to Honduras. We've been down into Mexico. We've been to different places and sent people. We went and built several buildings with Brother Lloyd Right. We went and built several buildings with Brother Lloyd Right. So we've had a wonderful opportunity. I've took several teams over there to Haiti back before. That forever came back and was challenged and changed. When you see it firsthand, it's different?
Speaker 1:Oh, it is. So you keep talking about the. What do you call it? The charitable foundation? What do you call it again?
Speaker 2:Brother Phil Marino he's one of my deacons here in the church and he went with us to Guatemala and Brother Chuck Akers I 'd actually been to Caracas, venezuela, with Brother Akers and helped him there working on a church with Otis, who was my assistant at the time.
Speaker 2:We went over there, we painted and built and was up in the barrio and I would play basketball at lunch break with all of the Venezuelans up in the barrio and the average was about 5'5", and so me being 6'3". They called me Mucho Grande NBA and we would get out there and play ball and you know, I couldn't understand them, but we had a wonderful time. Then they'd come to the church. I couldn't understand them, but we had a wonderful time. Then they'd come to the church. There's something about getting involved with people. Through that. Brother Marino went on that trip, came back. God had spoken to him as a child. He went into missions work and he come back and said, hey, we want to, so we was able to start this. He's our director, a landmark charitable that's helped with many missions, endeavors and things all across the land in helping people to go and helping different agencies.
Speaker 1:So that's like something that your church does, that's like your church's ministry. It's one of our missions outreaches yeah Right, yeah, I went on that trip with y'all. He never said anything to me about that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:I'm definitely.
Speaker 2:Go ahead.
Speaker 3:No, no we just want to be the hand of the Lord extended, reaching to the world. Right.
Speaker 1:So we were privileged to have you and Brother Phil Marino be a part of a trip that we went on, and it was your first trip going with us to Honduras. So explain how that came about, coming about y'all getting to come. Well, I've known.
Speaker 2:Brother Danny Sweeney and Brother Joey. For many years I actually taught Brother Danny in Bible school. Don't hold that against me Anything you learn good. No, we have always been great friends and with your family. Right.
Speaker 2:And honored what the Lord had started through your grandfather. And so when we had the privilege to go and be a part and then have seen another another time, and here in just a few days, we got another group from our church. We just had a big fundraiser the other night the church come together to give, to send them over there. Uh, I really, really appreciated the atmosphere, uh, the opportunity and and the privilege of being the vessel of God to minister to people and to help.
Speaker 2:I feel like at this stage in my life, you know, I felt like one of the reasons I was supposed to be there was maybe to go up on the mountain and help with a church that was in the middle of going through some times where they needed some direction, right. And so we was able to sit down with them and the church leadership and give direction on the next pastor and the Lord, it sounded like, helped them, and so I just want to do my part to be where I can, doing what I can for the king, right. So it was a great trip, great, great time, and we're thankful for it, and what god's doing through god's little ones right, yeah, that church he was talking about.
Speaker 1:The whole story behind that was uh, the pastor of that church. His name was uh domingo and he had died from covid and they hadn't had a pastor. So y'all went and helped with them picking up the pastor. They a brother joey. He knew that that pastor that finally got in there was who they needed as their pastor. Y'all came in there and stuff and had that meeting with them and I can you today, because I've been on several trips since then, that that pastor, that is a, he's a good pastor. You can ask, brother.
Speaker 2:Dan, he's a good pastor.
Speaker 1:But you. So you went on that first trip and you ain't really. Your church has done several trips since then, but let's talk about that first trip that you went on. What struck you different with that mission's work than what you've done normally?
Speaker 2:I think, seeing the pastors coming together and the hunger for the Lord and praying and seeking the Lord and really the potential, you know, with Brother Luis being there I like that, With him being there close and the potential of what God has, you know I really see a revival that is capable of breaking out across Honduras in a great way as they continue to seek the Lord.
Speaker 1:Do you have any like powerful thing that happened on that trip? You can talk about that, do you remember?
Speaker 2:I think in one of those services there was a night in the altar where the Lord just really came by and ministered and helped. It seemed like to me he really helped, everybody helped.
Speaker 2:uh, it seemed like to me he really helped, he really helped everybody and uh, you know, I, I know there was a couple that went with us that was doing some interpreting right and all the way home, all they did was talk about how much they appreciated and experiencing the power and the presence of god in a way they had never experienced before, and that was very encouraging to me.
Speaker 1:Right yeah it was a very powerful. We had some very powerful services. Yes. What different ways have y'all helped support God's Little One? Because once y'all got done with that trip, y'all really started getting involved with God's Little One. How did y'all start supporting us?
Speaker 2:Well, when we saw it and saw what was taking place, then, as Brother Danny presented the need, because if people will give, if they know there's a need and there's a cause, and especially when you can see it, I'll be honest too, brother Kidd, it's one thing to see it on a video screen or see it from a picture.
Speaker 2:But once you're there firsthand and you feel the heartbeat of the people and you see, you know, and then you're able, when you see a picture, you say that's where we was at, this is where we was at and this is what God is doing. Yeah, so those types of things struck a chord with us. You know to help, to give to different things, and you know there was another church that was up on the hill that we was able to help. You know to get a bunch of work done inside the church and things. And I think one thing too that has always I've enjoyed is we can give. You know we can give $4,000 or $5,000, and to them it's like $15,000, $20,000. Right, you know, it's so much more in their culture and what they can do, and giving it to them, letting them then do the work and then sending pictures of the progress.
Speaker 2:Right you know that day we were able to go up there and see some of that firsthand. This is what you've done. This is the church you built. This is the blocks you bought. Yeah, and then for them to come out and thank you. You know, and you're like oh man, you know, because really in comparison to what we did there's nothing in comparison to what they sacrificed and go through and then to have a nice building and nice place. It was just. It's wonderful to see that.
Speaker 1:Right, yeah, yeah, y'all helped them. If I remember correctly, it was either. I think the church was needing to be finished built and y'all paid to finish the church. And you kind of talked about that. How did it? How was it and I know you kind of just said it. I'm going to try and ask you more how was it getting to see your money used to finish that church?
Speaker 2:I think there's nothing greater. Honestly, because you want to see productivity, you want to see fruitfulness of your labor, and here's the thing A lot of times we're not able to see that. Right. We're not able to see that, so when you can, it's always a joy.
Speaker 1:Right. Yeah, we're in the process right now of building a church. We got the walls up and everything and I think they pretty soon should start getting to work on the roof and it's really cool getting to see a church being built. It's really cool.
Speaker 2:Yes, yeah.
Speaker 1:Wonderful. So what is your favorite part of missions work?
Speaker 2:I think, seeing the joy and lives transformed, of course, but knowing how much they appreciate. In every culture, in every place, I've been people that are truly thankful and knowing that there's more to life than what's right here, and what I'm doing is not for the temple, it's for the eternal. And when I keep that in perspective, that eternity matters, and especially seeing these children have a place to come and hear about Jesus, place to come and hear about Jesus Coming from. A lot of times there's alcohol, there's abuse and all kinds of sin, just like anywhere that's trying to destroy people, but seeing them helped, that's why I live Right. What has touched your life the most in missions?
Speaker 1:work Right what has touched your life the most in missions work.
Speaker 2:I would say just that very thing, being people transformed by the gospel. And you know, I still got people. It's been 30 years and I still, every once in a while, I'll receive a letter from somebody. You know you was over here, you know, would you please come back? You know, and you, you helped us and and I've actually, I'll tell you this 30 years ago I sat down in the general superintendent's brother charles oswakey's office.
Speaker 2:24 years later, his son comes to the United States on a scholarship to go to college. He winds up going to the University of North Texas. He starts seeking out an Assembly of God church, walks in, sits down on the front row and I start ministering to Adema Chinobi Oseki. And here is Adema Chinobi and I have no idea and I mention Robert Holmes. He comes running to me after the service and says you know, robert Holmes? He said there was a picture of him that hung in our living room. He is a man of God, he was my father's personal friend. And I start talking to him and find out here's a boy that come from the other side of the world to go to college, winds up in Denton, texas, comes into a faith tabernacle out of five Assembly of God churches sits down and I mentioned Brother Robert Hall that day. We're still friends to this day. He's moved, got a job doing well. We still stay in communication.
Speaker 2:His father since died and went to glory. But the Lord brought me in contact with his father who 30 years later would bring his son to America so that we could be reconnected with the joys, the work of the Lord and the glories of serving the king. God's ways are higher than our ways. We never know until eternity what all God will work out. But there's a city, there's a land we're all going to meet in someday. I sure do hope so. I hope everybody meets me there. And that's a city. There's a land we're all going to meet in someday. I sure do hope so. I hope everybody meets me there. And that's that land called heaven.
Speaker 2:Because, I'm going that way and I want to take as many as I can from all over the world.
Speaker 1:Amen, that's powerful. Right there I got a question that I ask everybody on the podcast. I ask it in different ways, but today I want to ask you what would you say to someone who doesn't believe missions work is important.
Speaker 2:I would say to somebody who didn't believe that missions work was important is they don't understand the heart of God. Amen. Because God so loved the world, and it's all about the world. Right. In our current church right now I probably have nine different nationalities. I've got them from three different countries just in Africa. I've got Puerto Ricans, I've got some from Guatemala, I've got some from the Bahamas. It's about the world, and missions is the heartbeat of God.
Speaker 1:Amen. So we're about to wrap this podcast up. It's been powerful, but before we go, I got one more thing I want to do. I want, I'm going to give you as much time as you want, whatever you want to say. You've got as much time as you want. If there's any question that I haven't asked you, that you'd like to give an answer, if there's anything you want to say, go ahead and say it right now, just any kind of response you have, or any kind of thing you just want to say before we go.
Speaker 2:I would just say this, brother Kent First of all, thank you for the opportunity to share and tell what little bit experience I've had in the mission work and the program of God that he's allowed us to be a part in. And if anybody out there is searching for purpose, you don't have to go to Guatemala, you don't have to go to Honduras, you don't have to go to Jamaica, you don't have to go to Africa, we need to go across the street. Right.
Speaker 2:If we will start where we're, at, taking the gospel to those around about us, in our neighborhood, wherever we are, god will open the doors so that we can. Somebody said man, I'd like to go do this and I'd like to go do that, and I'd like to be a part of this.
Speaker 1:I've never been asked.
Speaker 2:You know, I think the reason why I was asked to go first in 1995 is Brother Holmes said there's a guy that's interested in seeing people get help from the Lord and when God can trust us with what we have, he'll give us more to do. And I love the program of God. It's seeing people helped, saved, transformed, whether they're in Honduras, whether they're in a royal Hondo, new Mexico, wherever it's at, and building the church. Because there's one thing he's coming back for. He's not coming back for the Super Bowl champions or the World Series I mean, we get caught up in a lot of different things but he's coming back for the church and that church is going to be a glorious church of those that have been redeemed around the world and I'm looking for that day. Thank you for the opportunity, brother Kent.
Speaker 1:Hey, thank you for giving me your time. I would like to thank my guest, brother Randy Snow, for being here. This has been a phenomenal podcast. Thank you for giving me your time. I really really have enjoyed this podcast. Thank you for giving me your time, and God bless you. God bless you, friend We'll see you later, all right.
Speaker 1:Several times in this podcast, brother Randy, he used a phrase and he said the program of God. And I thought this was a cool little saying. And you know, god has a perfect plan for everybody's life. He has something for everybody to do that he wants them to do specifically. And you know, in our eyes we might not think we're capable to do it or we might be afraid to do it or just not want to do it, but the Bible says trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not into your own understanding. You know God has a perfect plan. He's got a perfect program for what he wants us to do. He's got a role for us to fill and we don't think we have the capability. But our capability I've said it before but our capability and our power it doesn't come from us, it comes from God. We can't rely on our own power. So, whatever God's calling you to do, whatever his purpose is for you in his program, trust him and let your power come from him. Trust him and let your power come from him. Seek him, trust him and do what he's calling you to do. Also, that was not the exact way that verse was said. I wasn't reading it as I said it, but that is the verse I wanted to read. Uh, if you want to go find the actual verse for yourself and go read it for yourself, it is found in proverbs, chapter 3, verse 5, so you can go look that up if you would like to and study that.
Speaker 1:Well, we hope you enjoyed this episode of the God's Little One podcast. It was a good one and thank you for listening. In our next podcast we're going to be talking to Pastor Lonnie Adams, him and his church. They do our Sunday school stuff. If you don't know, in the mountains of Honduras, the area that we do missions work, they didn't really do Sunday schools in their church. So, brother Lonnie Adams and his church, they started making us curriculums and going up there and teaching Sunday school teachers. So it's something we never did before. So we're really glad to have him on and we're going to be talking to him about it, talking about the trips he's been on with us and just missions work he's done. So definitely be watching for that podcast.
