Would you stand with me?

How many of you would say we're not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ?

I want to do something.

Welcome to you here in New York City, 51 and Broadway, but we know that there are thousands that are watching in countries around the world.

So can we, I want to welcome you behind your screen, wherever you are in the world, all over the U. So can we, I want, I want to welcome you behind your screen,

wherever you are in the world, all over the U.S., all over Europe,

all over the African continent, Latin America, Russia, all over the place, all over the world.

People are watching Times Square Church. So can we do something this morning?

Can we give a shout and welcome and an ovation to everyone online? Can you say let me hear a shout a shout from New York City?

Come on, come on, come on. We welcome you.

You may be seated. God bless you.

I want to speak this morning on increasing and protecting our faith.

Increasing and protecting our faith.

I have been coming to preach to Times Square Church for over 37 years every year except for the COVID years.

And the connection began when in 1985, Pastor David Wilkerson was invited to come and to do stadium crusades and conferences across Canada.

And I was chosen, I was asked to become, to be as interpreted.

I was only 23 years old.

And I was 22, 23, and I was the interpreter from English and to French.

So if you detect an accent, my whole life is in French. I only get to speak in English

when I come here or preach in English churches or conferences. But I was an interpreter and during

those five weeks and then the connection was so amazing. We're still here 37 years later now

with Times Square Church and with Gary Wilkerson
