What a troubling spot to put a shepherd in when he can't get to his sheep.

Yeah.

You know, that's, I can't imagine going ahead, going ahead and adding thousands of miles to that scenario.

You know, and this is not to take away from the severity of what you or any other First World Church endured in South Africa.

But, you know, thankfully, the technology available in your city is sufficient enough to basically everybody in your church can have access electronically to you in some capacity.

For sure, absolutely.

But when the vast majority of my church doesn't have a smartphone,

they don't have a laptop, they don't have internet,

their access to the church and the preacher is being in service.

So when I do an online service, I'm not getting, I'm not getting

90% of our church to participate because they don't have the where we're

phone.

They don't have technology in their house.

They're lucky to have electricity in their house.

And so while most of the world said, let's just go online, we'll do Zoom, we'll do virtual

church.

There were those of us that were saying, that's impossible.

There's no way that meets the needs of our people.

We're not gonna reach them.

The only way we get to them, when we get in a car and we go see them.

But that sounds like that was even heavily restricted at least.

Yeah, yeah.
