00:00:00.560 hi I'm Sean Sullivan from Crossroads
00:00:02.440 Community Church and yeah my my
00:00:05.040 highlight like the most memorable moment
00:00:07.200 is definitely just right at the hotel
00:00:09.719 like we could have just stayed for a
00:00:11.480 whole week just not even a quarter of a
00:00:14.679 mile from a hotels we walked down the
00:00:16.800 road we came to this place where there
00:00:18.760 was just team after team after team of
00:00:21.279 women and men but mainly women who were
00:00:23.680 breaking up Rock breaking up huge pieces
00:00:26.519 of I'm not sure if it was granite or
00:00:27.920 what it was but they would take this
00:00:29.240 rock and they would just pound and pound
00:00:31.720 and as you got closer and closer you
00:00:33.200 could just hear the pounding on the left
00:00:35.360 and on the right and and echoing and
00:00:37.200 they were taking this rock big rock and
00:00:39.120 they were making into little stones and
00:00:41.399 so Andrew and I we were together the
00:00:43.640 first day because the team had yet to
00:00:45.160 arrive we had come ahead of them and as
00:00:48.719 we were walking up they just we just
00:00:51.160 greeted them and they greeted us so we
00:00:52.800 walked over and we found a person who
00:00:55.280 spoke enough English her name was Gloria
00:00:57.480 and we got to draw the gospel and many
00:00:59.559 of them really were True Believers uh
00:01:02.000 but here they were every day just
00:01:03.800 working at breaking up Rock and I asked
00:01:05.799 them so so how much do you make like uh
00:01:08.280 how does this work like is there a
00:01:09.720 foreman who like watches over you says
00:01:11.960 no no we we're just out here every day
00:01:14.600 they bring the rock we break it up and
00:01:16.759 they take these five gallon the yellow
00:01:19.439 water um the water the large watering
00:01:22.159 cans you know they cut them at the top
00:01:24.360 and they fill them up with Rock and for
00:01:26.360 each one of those they get 500 Shillings
00:01:30.960 and out of a day they said they can do
00:01:32.600 about 10 so that's about 5,000 Shillings
00:01:36.479 and that's about
00:01:38.159 $3 that's what they do every day and it
00:01:41.320 was just so humbling to see these people
00:01:44.159 um almost joyful just doing their work
00:01:46.759 doing the best they could with what they
00:01:48.360 had um and just trying to provide for
00:01:50.840 their family um they had they had kids
00:01:53.640 there with them um women with the kids
00:01:55.880 and the their husbands were were there
00:01:57.880 some of their kids were breaking Rock
00:01:59.680 and so anyhow Andrew and I got to share
00:02:01.560 the gospel and we just decided to start
00:02:03.880 going back and every day we went back um
00:02:06.479 we were able to tell them more stories
00:02:08.080 about Jesus and we got to tell them
00:02:09.758 about the Great Commission and tell them
00:02:11.480 that they were called to be a part of
00:02:12.720 the Great Commission and that though
00:02:14.319 they were here at this place doing this
00:02:17.920 that you know seemed maybe unimportant
00:02:19.879 it wasn't unimportant to God because all
00:02:22.360 over in all these other piles of rock
00:02:25.160 where people were pounding there were
00:02:26.440 many people there that didn't know even
00:02:29.200 who Jesus was does I said God has called
00:02:31.519 you to be an ambassador for him all over
00:02:34.319 here and you would have thought you know
00:02:36.840 that we just gave them something really
00:02:38.920 precious they got so happy they would
00:02:40.920 clap we would do some of the trainings
00:02:42.480 we do at the actual Church site and they
00:02:44.879 would laugh and they loved getting into
00:02:47.000 the word they loved talking about the
00:02:48.440 word and we at the end of the week we we
00:02:51.519 started to get a translator to come and
00:02:53.040 help us in the evening from one of the
00:02:54.720 sites his name was Francis and Francis
00:02:56.840 you know just went the extra mile came
00:02:58.680 back with us and we shared about um the
00:03:01.360 hope that we have in Jesus the calling
00:03:03.239 that we have in Jesus the dignity we
00:03:04.959 have in Jesus and we just got to speak
00:03:07.040 over them the truth of the Gospel like
00:03:09.000 who they were in Christ they were dearly
00:03:11.560 beloved of the father that they were
00:03:13.840 called that they were appointed that
00:03:15.920 they were special and most of all that
00:03:17.920 they were seen they were not forgotten
00:03:19.959 people that God sees them and he has put
00:03:22.000 them here to be a witness just like
00:03:23.840 we've come thousands of miles to meet
00:03:25.440 them they can walk I don't know 100t 100
00:03:29.080 yards and to meet other people and bring
00:03:30.920 the good news to Jesus and anyhow then
00:03:33.120 the last day we got to bring a Bible to
00:03:36.200 them and they were so excited to have a
00:03:38.360 Bible bibles are very scarce here
00:03:40.239 they're very expensive and uh we could
00:03:42.959 see right away that two people
00:03:44.480 especially Gloria and her friend were
00:03:46.360 like the leaders of this little tribe
00:03:48.239 here of people and so we we took them to
00:03:50.680 the side and we told them that would
00:03:52.319 they like to learn how to actually run
00:03:54.680 like a house group here a house group
00:03:56.959 where they could get into scripture they
00:03:58.239 can pray together they could worship
00:03:59.959 together they could learn together they
00:04:01.159 could go out together and they were like
00:04:03.040 yes yes and so we taught them on the
00:04:05.319 last day how to have a simple time
00:04:07.480 together around the word and listen for
00:04:09.519 the Lord obey him in anything that he
00:04:12.079 said and go and be a disciple that makes
00:04:14.120 a disciple and let all of you g to know
00:04:16.478 about the love of Christ and they were
00:04:18.440 so excited to have this mission in fact
00:04:20.560 Gloria when we were walking back with
00:04:22.240 Francis she said this is pretty amazing
00:04:24.919 I had been praying weeks ago that God
00:04:27.960 would use me that he would really give
00:04:30.280 me um leadership to do something for him
00:04:33.240 and then you guys come and you pick me
00:04:36.240 and you give me a Bible and you train me
00:04:38.520 she said I just can't believe what's
00:04:39.840 happening she was so excited and so that
00:04:41.960 just made our hearts so happy to hear
00:04:43.919 that we had been an answer to a prayer
00:04:45.759 that she had that she wanted to be used
00:04:47.560 by God but didn't know how and she
00:04:49.560 didn't even have a Bible and so it was
00:04:51.479 really really just the Highlight was
00:04:53.080 being down there every day sharing with
00:04:54.639 them even after we came back from the
00:04:56.360 sights uh it was just such a joyous time
00:04:58.840 so thank you again for praying that was
00:05:00.639 just an opportunity that just sprung up
00:05:02.440 wasn't even planned but God had it
00:05:04.360 planned a long time ago in Jesus name
00:05:07.000 amen bye
