Hey, everybody, welcome to you. We're born for this podcast with Father John Ricardo and Mary

Guilfoyle. We're a couple of missionaries at Acts 29. This is the podcast where we talk about how

acquiring a biblical worldview brings us great hope in the God who created and rescued this world

in order that we can be agents of

transformation and recreation. Mary, it's going to be home, isn't it? Oh, my gosh. You know,

I feel like Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz, for those of you who remember the movie,

you know, Dorothy after her adventure. I've noticed you clicking your heels a lot together.

And my ruby red

slippers, but I always feel like Dorothy when I come home because I say over and over again,

there's no place like home. And that doesn't mean that we don't love mission and being on the

road, but gosh, it's great to be home in our own nest. Yeah, it certainly is. And we, you know,

before we even pray and dive into today, we just want to ask everybody to please be praying for us this week. And next, we're going to be hosting leaders from all over.

All over. Right. Where we got people coming from. We've got friends coming from Canada, from Austria,

from Ireland, and all across the U.S. And we are just so honored to have our friends with us and to see what God is going

to do in our time together. So I heard we sounded a little tired last week on the podcast,

and we were, and I got a hunch that next week's podcast, we're going to be really tired, too,

because we're doing back-to-back what we call leadership immersive.

But Father John, it's holy fatigue. Oh, it's holy fatigue by all means.

Let's call it that.

Yeah, and I'm saying that simply to make people's prayers because it really are the prayers

of so many of our brothers and sisters, those of you who listen to keep us going,

so we're beyond grateful for that.
