Hallelujah. Hallelujah. You know, this is so appropriate. I want us to all stand. I want to just

from Elder Vicki's song, the choir song, Judah to your song. Let me tell you why this is such an

important moment. With the permission of our general overseer, I just, I think this is so appropriate,

just even starting with Judah's song. I have his permission. I know he is on holiday right now,

well deserved him, and Dr. Conlon, who leads our Bible college, are on holiday in Canada, and they're watching right now.

So I'm going to try not to get emotional for these next few moments.

I'm going to call us to a time of prayer here in these weeks to come, and especially we're

going to take a day of prayer and fasting

with Pastor Carter's permission who has served this church for over 30 years and was the senior

pastor for some 20 plus years, who was my predecessor. He is in August 26th, which is you need to put that on your calendar.

Look at your phone now. It is going to be a day of prayer and fasting. He is going in for heart surgery.

And so that's why your song was, and all I could think about, Judah, was this, he's not

finished with him yet.

That's what I told him.

He's not finished with him yet.

And so we are going to take that day for prayer and fasting for our general overseer.

I have, I have given him strict instructions that he has to stay alive as long as I'm in this role. That is his job. That is his job.

Every time I see him, I just go, you have one job, Carter Conlin, what is it? And he always looks at me.

He says, it's like that old disco song, staying alive. That's what he tells me all the time.

So, Pastor Carter, you know what your job is to stay alive. The doctor said, when he's done with

him, by the grace of God, he said, he will have 10, 15 strong years.

So that's what we are praying for.
