It's obviously an unusual time in the state of California and yesterday we had the opportunity

on our new application, the technology that we've just kind of mentioned to many of you, many of I'm sure have not not heard about it but we got the chance to go live yesterday with two individuals a new friend by the name of J.P.

And Ashley who's a part of our Bible College here, Church Home College and thank you

Ashley and we got to tell at least two stories of the horrific tragedies and disasters that have happened recently

with the shooting in Thousand Oaks and then literally the next day the

evacuation of so many people in the same area and other areas as

well. By now I know you're all aware we're still fighting the one of if not the worst fire in our nation's history, it has affected tens

of thousands, hundreds of thousands of people.

And I want to say thank you for every single one of you that have participated even in the smallest of way of being a part of the solution.

We exist as a community not to listen to a talk on Wednesday and sing songs that make us feel good. A good

talk and good singing ain't nothing wrong with that, but we exist to make a

difference in this beautiful city and in this region and in this part of the world and we want to

live and love and look like Jesus wherever we go and so I want to thank so many of you

who I know who've been donating your time.

I've heard extraordinary stories of people here in community,

loving, caring, getting involved, volunteering.

Thank you.

Every little bit makes a difference to each and every individual.

So far, we have raised tens of thousands of dollars just from yesterday. We received $20,000 from a church in Alabama and all of the

money, yeah incredible, incredible. And all the money is going to go Incredible.

And all the money is going to go directly. We are working with an organization.

I want to remember the name correctly.
