Let's just pray together.
Father, speak to us from your Word.
We're not here interested in just getting a
lot of excess baggage.
We're here to get what's on your heart,
O God.
Speak to us.
Show us what real mission work is about.
For we pray in Jesus' name, Amen.
I'd like you to turn in your Bible
very quickly to Acts chapter 29.
Acts 29.
Has anyone found it?
Maybe you could read the first verse.
Anyone who's found that, you of course have
discovered by now that there's no 29th chapter
in the book of Acts.
Some people have felt that was a dirty
trick, as I've embarrassed good Bible-believing evangelicals
all over the world, who really should know
that Acts does end at chapter 28, verse
31, where it says, Preaching the kingdom of
God, and teaching those things which concern the
Lord Jesus Christ with all confidence, no man
forbidding him.
And from then on, it's up to you,
and it's up to me, to write the
remaining chapters.
You are Acts 29.
We should be, of course, after 2,000
years beyond Acts 29, and I'm sure we
are.
We're probably up somewhere around Acts 8,642.
Needless to say, the book of Acts goes
on, because the Holy Spirit goes on working,
and he has never stopped working since the
Apostle Paul gave these clear words that we
have just read.
We are to be walking in the steps
of these men and women who we read
about in the book of Acts.
And we believe, as our brother here goes
out to Asia, crosses through places like Turkey,
some of the very same cities where the
Apostle Paul walked, that he goes with the
same power and the same guidance as the
Apostles that we read about in the book
of Acts.
I believe we have this affirmed in 1
Corinthians chapter 4, where the Apostle Paul describes
his life.
We're going to go back to the book
of Acts, but first let us just take
this quick glimpse at the Apostle Paul.
There is a tendency among some to put
Paul in a very special category, and therefore
almost to make into myth that which we
read concerning the Apostle Paul's life, whereas we
see this is quite far from what God
would have us do and believe.
In verse 10 of chapter 4 in 1
Corinthians, we read, We are fools for Christ's
sake, but ye are wise in Christ.
We are weak, but ye are strong.
Ye are honorable, but we are despised.
Even unto this present hour we both hunger
and thirst, and are naked and are buffeted,
and have no certain dwelling place.
And labor, working with our own hands.
Being reviled, we bless.
Being persecuted, we suffer it.
Being defamed, we entreat.
We are made as the filth of the
world, and are the offscouring of all things
unto this day.
I write not these things to shame you,
but as my beloved sons, I warn you.
For though ye have ten thousand instructors in
Christ, yet have ye not many fathers.
For in Christ Jesus I have begotten you
through the gospel.
And here's the key verse I want you
to see tonight.
Wherefore I beseech you, be followers of me.
As we see the Apostle Paul in the
pages of the book of Acts, from the
day he was converted until the day he
was there in Rome, still teaching and still
preaching despite all the problems and suffering and
hindrances and difficulties.
So we are told to follow in his
steps.
The Apostle Paul was a man of action,
and he of course was patterning his life
after Jesus Christ, who was a man of
action.
We see that in many passages.
There's not time to review the life of
our Lord Jesus tonight, but I do believe
every believer should study at least every six
months the Gospels, and try to see the
Lord Jesus Christ, and what he was really
like.
We see for example in Matthew chapter 9,
that Jesus went about all the towns and
villages.
And we see in the very next verse,
that he did this because he was moved
with compassion.
Some people wonder where we get the name
mobilization, operation mobilization.
Very simple.
The word mobilize comes from the word to
move.
It's a very simple word.
And we believe that we are to be
moved with compassion out to reach the world
with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Now despite the example of the Lord Jesus
himself, in going in every village, despite the
example of the Apostle Paul, who covered an
incredible amount of mileage for the sake of
the gospel, and by the way stayed in
some places a very short time.
Other places he was there longer, but many
places he was there a very short time.
And he was moving on, and moving on,
and going back, and moving on, and ends
up of course way over in Rome, which
in those days was almost equivalent to going
around the world twice in our day.
Actually it would be much, much easier to
go around the world twice today, than to
go just to Rome in those days, if
you went of course by air.
If you went OM style in the back
of one of our vehicles, it would be
slightly similar to the way the Apostle Paul
went.
No, actually much easier, except that often we
not only end up walking, we have to
push the vehicle as well.
An experience that Paul never did have.
God is still in the mobilizing business.
He's still in the work of moving men
around the world that every creature may hear.
God will not allow the church to be
stagnant, or settled, or immobile.
The opposite of mobilization is immobilization.
I don't think you can have immobilization, so
we'll just say immobile.
And when you're immobile, you're unmovable.
Reminds me of the man who thought Operation
Mobilization was part of a mobile oil company.
It is amazing how people get misunderstandings about
God's work, especially when it's way across the
sea, and they don't really get firsthand knowledge.
And we believe that we are in this
thrilling task of writing further books in glory,
and further chapters in glory, to the Book
of Acts.
We don't need any more for our Bible.
We know someday we will give account to
God for everything we've done.
It says that in Hebrews.
I think it's important to understand that there
are two judgments.
There's the judgment upon those who have never
come to Christ.
Maybe someone here is in that situation, or
someone listening.
And of course you will be judged, and
you will be separate from God for all
of eternity.
We realize today it is not popular to
speak about hell.
It is not popular to speak about the
wrath of God.
It's not popular to speak about separation from
God, or to mention that you believe Hindus
are lost, or Muslims are lost, or nominal
Christians in England are lost, and going to
hell.
But Jesus spoke about it.
And if what Jesus said concerning hell is
not true, then what can I trust in
what Jesus said?
Once I begin to dissect the Word of
God, and take this, and leave that, and
accept this because I can understand that with
my 20th century brain, and leave this because
I can't understand it, because my prejudices will
not allow me to understand it, then where
do I stop, and where do I start?
And the reason I believe that we are
going forth in this work is not because
we particularly enjoy it, not because we have
an itch to travel, but it's because we
are under command.
We are under command.
When we were born again, we also enlisted
on the very same day in the army
of God.
That's why the Word of God calls even
the young believer a soldier and a disciple
of Jesus Christ.
Isn't one of the greatest mistakes in the
church today the fact that we want the
blessings of salvation, but not the responsibilities?
And that's why we like to speak of
heaven, and we like to talk of some
of the wonderful things that we have in
Jesus, but we hesitate to speak very much
about hell, and the tremendous responsibility we have
to warn men and women around the world
that there is such a place, and that
the wrath of God someday is going to
fall.
Now I believe in hell.
I don't find it easy, and I believe
some people's descriptions of hell are erroneous, and
basically with my finite mind I can only
say that hell is the perfect justice of
God.
It is the perfect, absolute justice of a
holy, righteous, perfect God, who is completely beyond
anything we can ever totally comprehend.
If you want to sometimes understand the greatness
of God, think for a moment on the
greatness of his creation.
If you go out on a clear night,
you can see millions of stars.
Millions.
Do you know how much a million is?
It's a lot.
Sometimes we talk in O.M. about printing
a million tracts, and the average person that
reads that in our prayer letter hasn't got
a clue what that means.
A million tracts, much less a million booklets,
or a quarter of a million Bibles, a
project we are in right now, a quarter
of a million Bibles.
Anyway, we go out at night, and we
see millions of stars.
It's fantastic, isn't it?
Some of those stars are so big that
you can put our sun and our earth
revolving around the sun, despite the distance between
the sun and our earth, inside one of
those stars, of course, if you could get
it in.
And there are millions of those stars just
in our one galaxy.
There are millions of stars, and you know
how many galaxies there are?
There are millions of galaxies.
Just let your mind go.
Millions of stars in each galaxy, and there
are millions of galaxies, and we realize that
creation is nothing, is nothing compared to God
Himself.
God is so great.
That's why the real difficult thing to understand,
really, is how any earth being will ever
be saved, and eventually brought into the presence
of God, as a friend of God.
How that is going to happen is, to
me, a greater mystery than that all of
us are just going to someday, as we
have become enemies of God, confined to outer
darkness and separation from Him.
Now we believe this, because the Word of
God teaches this, and the Apostle Paul believed
this, and that's why he went out warning
men.
That's why we can read in Acts chapter
20, verses like verse 31, Therefore watch and
remember that by the space of three years
I ceased not to warn everyone night and
day with tears.
Here was a man who was compelled of
the Holy Spirit, compelled by the truth he
believed.
Remember, he was an enemy of the truth.
He was a murderer of Christians, and he
had been completely turned around on the road
to Damascus, and now had become a preacher
of the gospel, and a defender of the
faith, who went right out into the marketplace,
and into the synagogues, presenting the infallible proofs
that he believed.
With Paul, it was not firstly a subjective
experience.
It was not firstly a matter of religious
conviction.
It was firstly a matter of infallible proof.
This stiff-necked Jew, with all of his
training in his own religion, had been turned
around by truth, and by an encounter, a
personal encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ, and
we follow in his steps.
He said, be ye followers of me, and
yet today we find very few people who
even believe we should be literally following in
the steps of Paul.
Now when I say literally, I don't mean
in the ultimate sense.
Paul was a distinct person, so are you.
You will never do exact same things that
Paul did, but his attitude, his mentality, his
compassion, his willingness to suffer, which will always
lead to some suffering, and believe me, it
is possible right here in Britain to suffer
for Jesus Christ.
You just go out and bang on some
doors for Jesus Christ, and you will suffer.
If not physically, you will suffer emotionally, as
people spray out indifference upon you, and mock
you.
Not easy to give out literature in the
streets of Britain, or go house to house.
That's why there's not even 10 percent of
Christians in this country who are involved in
any kind of real mobilization witness.
The Jehovah Witnesses, by the way, boast 90
percent.
90 percent.
No wonder they're one of the fastest growing
religions in the world.
And I believe it is a great mistake
that we have basically made Paul into a
mythological, historical figure who we tend to relegate
to history, and not really believe that this
kind of thing can happen again, except for
maybe a few people here and there.
All my plea tonight is simply to go
back to Book of Acts living.
Now we do have Book of Acts talk
in our day, and it's with great fear
that I bring this message tonight, because I
know it is five times easier for me
to speak about the Book of Acts than
to go out in the highways and hedges
in these coming days and live this out.
One of the reasons that within two weeks
I also will be on the road back
to Asia, where I've spent half my life
these past 10 years.
Not, of course, that you can't live this
way here, because you can.
And I believe you can be following in
the steps of these apostles.
You can be following in the steps of
these early disciples as they follow Christ, whether
you're living in Manchester, or London, or New
York, or Chicago, or out in some little
tiny town in northern Scotland, or southern Montana,
wherever it may be.
It's not a matter of location.
It's a matter of reality and dedication, and
I think that's important to understand.
As we look into the Book of Acts,
there are a number of things that almost
jump out of the pages, not just in
the life of the Apostle Paul, but in
others.
Ordinary men, for example, Stephen.
Stephen wasn't supposedly one of those great men
of the Word and prayer.
He was asked to be a practical man.
He was chosen in Acts chapter 5 to
be a deacon, or a practical man in
the church.
And the first thing we see after he
is chosen for this particular work, that's Acts
chapter 6 by the way, is Stephen out
preaching.
Strange, isn't it?
He's out preaching, which I believe really helps
do away with this false idea that only
ordained people can preach the gospel.
What utter nonsense.
And you know the brothers out in India
who are preaching more sermons than most ordained
men I've ever met, are simple brothers who
no church would ordain.
But they love Jesus, and they are being
trained in the Word of God, and they
are out sometimes preaching in the open air,
just like Wesley did, which almost brought the
church walls down, sometimes 10 to 15 to
20 times a day.
And God is blessing it, and people are
being saved.
And if we can show really that it's
unscriptural for us to think only a certain
few can preach, especially out in the open
air, of course you realize that in the
book of Acts they didn't have any of
these buildings yet.
That's another message that I will not get
into tonight.
How much more should we have to face
up to this important issue, which in many
ways is the crux of what I want
to say tonight, that every believer is a
witness.
And we must not stand up and say,
yes, I'm behind this brother going out to
India, this brother going out to the Middle
East, if we ourselves are not willing to
walk across the street.
This is where many of the most missionary
churches, I'm sorry to say, and I don't
know very much about your church, but from
the degree of young people here this evening,
I would say that someone has been moving
out somewhere, praise God, because it is extremely
depressing in some places to go into churches
and to find 98% elderly people.
Now I'm all for the elderly.
I was prayed into the kingdom by an
elderly lady, hallelujah.
But really, if we're going to reach the
world for Christ, we have got to also
see young people mobilize for God.
What a thrill it is to see half
of you, at least here tonight, young people.
But I believe a mistake that even some
of the most missionary churches make is to
think our obligation is finished when we send
someone across the English Channel, or we send
someone to Africa.
Our obligation is not finished when we do
that.
Our obligation begins to be finished when we
ourselves get out of the chair, the easiest
place to live the Christian life.
In fact, if you haven't got it out
of the chair yet, you aren't even living
it.
You're dying in it.
You're not evangelizing nor mobilizing.
You're fossilizing.
You might as well be a skeleton propped
up in the chair with a piece of
string hanging from the church ceiling.
We haven't begun to fulfill our commitment until
we get out and cross the street and
share Jesus Christ.
I know that's hard, and that's why we
need the Holy Spirit, because he will move
us in that direction, just as we see
in the book of Acts.
I mentioned a few minutes ago how God
doesn't generally allow the church to get too
settled.
It seems that today we have specialized in
settling down, digging in, and digging in is
all right, as long as it doesn't become
a rut.
You of course know what a rut is.
A rut is just a grave with the
ends knocked out, so we don't want to
get in a rut.
And I believe that every Christian is a
witness.
If there's anything we see in Acts, we
see that.
If there's anything we have to accept when
Paul says, be a follower of me, it's
that.
This man who day and night was witnessing,
this man who crossed the world of his
day sharing, teaching, preaching, you couldn't stop him.
You remember that time in the book of
Acts, he was faithfully teaching the Word of
God?
There in Acts, is it Acts 17 or
Acts 20?
I believe it's Acts 20, and one man
was there, and he fell out the window,
and it was quite late, around midnight, this
fellow fell asleep, out the window he went,
and Apostle Paul of course just went down
and raised him up.
People have been arguing how he's done that,
how he did that, when he raised him
up.
It's amazing, you see, today we specialize in
arguing about all these things.
It'd be tremendous if we actually went and
did some of them.
Today everybody is arguing about the Holy Spirit.
That is the number one argument in the
church today.
Every month there's a new book about the
Holy Spirit.
But in the book of Acts, there's no
arguments about the Holy Spirit.
Have you seen any?
They just allowed the Holy Spirit to move
through, and he seemed to work in different
ways, in different chapters, but he was working
through all the chapters, and he was leading
people out as witnesses.
And of course, the giving of the Holy
Spirit is very much linked with being witness.
How can we neglect that?
Admittedly, there are some areas about the Holy
Spirit that are controversial, are not easy for
a layman to understand, nor even the non
-layman.
But there are other areas about the Holy
Spirit that are very clear.
So let's get moving on that which is
clear.
No, we won't do that.
We must persist in our arguing about the
things that are not clear.
But notice, for example, one of the things
that's very clear in Acts chapter 1 verse
8.
But ye shall receive the Holy Spirit, or
receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is
come upon you, and ye shall be witnesses.
See, it's clear, isn't it?
Ye shall be witnesses.
Nowhere in the book of Acts do we
read about any committees.
Nowhere do we read anything about church buildings.
Nowhere do we read anything about Sunday schools.
Nowhere do we read anything about half the
things that most of us involved in the
church are caught up with, whether it's the
choir or whatever it may be.
Now, I'm not against those things, so relax,
relax.
You can put your stones down.
I'm not against those things.
But it seems to me that we've got
to get our priorities right.
We've got to get our priorities right.
The Holy Spirit was to be given that
they would be and should be witnesses in
Jerusalem, in Judea, in Samaria, and the uttermost
part of the earth.
That's clear.
And what we see in the book of
Acts is an exact fulfillment of that.
It's a premise.
And the only way that will not be
fulfilled in you and me, the only way
is by disobedience.
Disobedience.
And I believe that many of us today,
though we don't like the word, are disobedient
children.
I'm not saying you're but I am saying
that I believe many of God's children today,
even the most sincere, the nicest choir members
in Sunday school, people and committee members and
deacons and elders, I'll include everybody, including myself,
I believe we are guilty of disobedience to
the Lord Himself, because we have not faithfully
moved out everywhere as his witnesses.
Down the streets, out to the villages, through
the cities, to the Englishmen, to the immigrant,
from the uttermost to the gutter most, and
to the uttermost parts of the earth.
That's why even in a place like Great
Britain, there are hundreds of thousands who do
not even have a copy of the Word
of God in their home.
Can you believe that?
Especially all these immigrants who come in.
Do you think they come in bringing their
Bibles with them?
Many of these people have never seen a
Bible.
And yet we are not even taking the
time in this country to go to their
homes and give them a Bible.
Admittedly, it's not easy to witness to these
Muslims, though we should be doing it.
Yet the least we can do is give
them something of the Scriptures.
We can get Scriptures even in their languages
from the Bible Society.
You can be sure there's no stampede to
get such Scriptures.
A nationwide survey has taken place recently here
in Britain that has proven that very few
Christians at all are interested in the immigrants,
in doing anything.
One man said to me, even this afternoon
I was speaking on this subject, a leader
in his particular assembly, he said, look, I
can't even get my people to speak about
Christ to an Englishman, much less to an
immigrant.
Oh, may God show us our disobedience.
May we not allow ourselves to be deceived
any longer in this matter.
May we not think that our obligation is
fulfilled when we send a few people overseas,
or when we put a few pounds in
the missionary offering, or when we bring in
a special evangelist and have a week of
meetings, or when we bring in another special
group to do our literature work, and another
special evangelist to have a citywide crusade.
This to me all leads to what I
call professionalism, in which we sort of feel
the work of evangelism is done by sort
of professionally trained groups.
We have certain professional types who teach, and
other professional types who preach, and we have
specialized groups for children.
No, child evangelism.
Praise God for their work.
And then we have even some people who
think, now we want to cover the neighborhood
with literature.
Wow, that is needed, isn't it?
Let's call Operation Mobilization.
Hello, Mr. Scott, could an OM team come
out and cover our neighborhood with literature?
These people are lost here.
We'd really love you to come, and actually,
at six o'clock after you do it,
we're going to serve you a cup of
tea in the church room.
No, a thousand times no.
And yet, again and again, we at OM
have discovered when invited to a place, it
was because people wanted us to do their
work.
They wanted us to visit homes they should
have been to a half a dozen times
ten years ago.
That's not God's way, and I want to
go on record on saying that Operation Mobilization
will never evangelize the world, and all the
groups together, Campus Crusade, IVF, Youth with a
Mission, Child Evangelism, Overseas Missionary Fellowship, throw in
all your favorite groups.
We will never evangelize the world.
We have been working for years, most of
these groups far more than OM, and half
the world is still waiting to hear for
the first time, and some of them even
live in Britain.
The world will only be evangelized as the
Church of Jesus Christ, at least a good
segment of us, go back to the Book
of Acts and out as witnesses for Jesus.
Every believer a witness.
Every believer a walking, living, verbal testimony to
the saving power of Jesus Christ.
A perfect example of this is when Jesus
Christ cured that man filled with demons.
Do you remember the story?
He cast the demons out, and they all
went into the herd of pigs, and the
herd of pigs went over the cliff.
And what did Jesus tell that man?
He told him to go back and to
start witnessing.
Wait a minute.
No theological training?
At least Jesus should have sent him to
the local Bible school.
But no.
He said, Jesus said, go back and tell
them what's happened.
This is what witnessing is.
Of course we need men, gifted men, with
gifts from the Holy Spirit as evangelists and
teachers.
That's something else.
Of course I believe in that.
But every believer is a witness.
Every believer, like the man who had the
demons cast out, can go back to his
friends and say, look what Jesus did for
me, with a big smile across his face.
Wow.
That's more powerful than sermon preached even by
Billy Graham himself.
As I have looked around the world to
see what is a major factor in bringing
people to Christ.
It is not literature.
It is not radio.
It is not even church meetings.
Though anointed preaching is a very big thing,
and a very biblical thing, as we see
in the book of Acts.
But the bigger thing is believers who love
Jesus talking and demonstrating this book of Acts
reality.
It's Acts 29.
It's you.
And the job of world evangelism is your
job.
You may be, or think you are, the
most ordinary, inhibited, shy, quiet, frail person in
your whole church.
But when the Holy Spirit moves through you,
and I believe that that will have to
be a daily experience, you may have a
crisis in your life, but any crisis not
followed by a process will soon be an
abscess, and that's what we have everywhere.
We don't lack people today with crises experiences.
Eighty percent of the people I meet have
had some kind of crises experience, but unless
they've learned to daily deny self, take up
the cross, and follow Christ, it has not
meant very much after a few weeks, or
a few months, in some cases a few
years.
The Christian life is not easy.
Being a witness is not easy.
The devil will fight you on every corner.
He will try to demobilize you.
If you think the war in the Middle
East right now is vicious, wait till you
begin to move in the army of God.
Wait till you begin to really wear the
shield of faith.
Wait till you really begin to take the
weapons of our warfare, which are described in
Ephesians 6, and move out to your neighborhood
for Christ, or move out to that neighboring
village, or move out to a foreign country,
or across the Atlantic, or across the Channel,
and you will see the enemy's weapons that
make the Russian scouts and these other missiles
seem like little toys.
That's right, you know.
I know it's hard for us 20th century
evangelical fish, as someone described us, to understand
this, but it's true.
We are in a warfare.
It is a battle.
There is a real enemy, and of course
his far most powerful weapon today is not
some gigantic open all-out attack, but just
the subtle deceptive power of the fog that
he seems to be able to manufacture at
such great quantity and drowned us in.
The fog of materialism seems to be enough
to stop most people.
Without one subtle strategy of the enemy, maybe
50 percent of all believers are demobilized and
made unaffected.
Just materialism, much less the immorality that he
sweeps in upon the church so often, much
less the fog of indifference and the fog
of lukewarmness.
I was thinking of the words of that
hymn that we sang tonight and how my
heart was stirred.
Oh father who sustained them, oh spirit who
inspired, savior whose love constrained them to toil
with zeal untired.
Is that your life?
From cowardice defend us.
Isn't that the problem?
Many of us, if we're honest, we're spiritual
cowards.
We're afraid to declare our faith.
We're afraid to talk to the man next
to us on the bus and say what
we believe and give him a tract and
urge him to give his life to Jesus.
We're afraid what he might say, what he
might think.
May we go to this hymn from cowardice
defend us.
From lethargy awake.
Isn't that the problem?
The lethargy.
Is that there's a gigantic persecution in Britain
and America today?
For there isn't.
With lethargy alone the devil manages to demobilize
perhaps 90 percent.
From lethargy awake forth on thine errands send
us to labor for thy sake.
Oh beloved let's get out of the pew.
Oh beloved let's move forward and as our
brother goes forward to the Middle East and
to India let us move forward down the
road across the street to wherever God leads
us in the days to come.
Otherwise I believe much of our work in
the church, many of our songs become only
sounding brass and tingling cymbal.
Jesus did it.
Why?
He was moved with compassion and if you
and I have this love we will be
moved with this compassion and if we don't
then the bible says we are nothing.
We are sounding brass and tingling cymbal.
Is it not some secondary doctrine we are
speaking about tonight?
This is not something that you can take
or leave.
This is not some little OM concept.
This is the most certainly one of the
most basic principles of the whole of the
word of God and we must obey and
as we do step out by faith.
God will give the grace.
He will and this is a thrilling thing
we've been seeing in OM and also in
many churches we're working with.
Ordinary people, previously shy and afraid, immobile, immobile,
lethargic, moving out, moving out, even onto the
continent, even into other countries, some for short
term, some for long term and God is
using them.
Not only our souls being saved but new
churches are being born.
We could be here all night telling of
what God has been doing.
True it's just the beginning but if God
can do it with a few, if God
can do it in some churches, He can
do it again and again and again.
Beloved, let us rise and go forth in
His name to write new chapters in the
book of Acts for the glory of God
till Jesus comes back.
Amen.
Oh God and Father, we thank you for
your word.
We thank you the way it pierces into
our hearts.
It's one of the proofs that we are
your children and we thank you that those
whom you love you chasten and we pray
that you would bring us Lord into the
school of obedience that we would be willing
to get involved in book of Acts walking,
book of Acts witnessing, book of Acts reality.
Deliver us Lord from lethargy.
Deliver us God from being immobile, being stagnant.
Deliver us God from thinking someone else is
going to do it.
Deliver us God from belittling your life in
us by in a subtle way saying that
you can do it in others but you
can't do it in me.
Oh God deliver us from such foolish thinking
and teach us dependence upon your Holy Spirit
on a daily basis that we may be
your witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and the
uttermost parts of the earth for we pray
in Jesus name.
Amen.
