0:00.0	is happening in Africa is starring us up and preparing us to bring the good news back to the
0:08.8	communities and to the people that brought the good news once to us. It's not
0:13.6	longer just theory. What was once the mission field has become the mission force.
0:23.4	Welcome everybody. This is Simon Gilbo with Inspired. Fantastic to be back with another terrific
0:28.3	guest. Listen, if you're new to inspired, we are relentlessly bombarded by negativity and
0:33.7	bad news and fear-inducing stuff. And this aims to counteract that by meeting mates of mine from different walks of life from
0:41.5	different nations.
0:42.9	And I have no doubt this week that in an hour's time, once we've finished, you will leave
0:47.5	completely inspired with a cheesy grin in your face of Vicarious joy because God is massively

1:28.3	He worked out of Namir Enbe.
1:30.3	He was Archdeacon there for the Anglicans.
1:32.3	I know you're not an Anglican, but I don't even really know what Archdeacon means,
1:35.3	but it sounds like it's important.
1:38.3	But what I love, he was also, so the Anglicans, it was Uganda and Randa Rundi, And I love it. I saw in a book that someone wrote about him. When he was appointed Archdeacon, he wrote ahead to the people. And he said, one thing I want to say from the outset, archdeacon means chief servant.
