Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you. All right.

All right.

Thank you so much.

I am so honored to be here tonight, to be a part of your family in a very real sense.

You know, we are family together in Christ, but also just the journey that God has taken us on.

You know, brought my life into Jobi's life and the way that God did something incredibly special at

beach and we hired a whole bunch of other folks that are now serving and are a part of this church

and your leadership and so it is indeed an honor I read something somewhere that said that the kingdom of God might not be in what you do in life but who you raise.

And I take that very seriously that a part of our spiritual journey is to raise up people in Jesus Christ and to give them opportunities to live out their

faith and live out their calling. And certainly it has been a blessing and an honor to be a part

of seeing what God has done in your pastor's life, Jobi Martin, his family, his staff, the leadership, the elders, and just the tremendous

work that God is doing here.

And he's only gotten started.

And there's a whole lot more to come, right?

Amen.

So it's really great being back here. I went back in Jobi's office and it's been a little bit of time since I've been back there and it is a mutual of Omaha Wild Kingdom back there.

And it was pretty awesome. You know, they're just deerheads laying everywhere. I don't know who killed them, but they're just everywhere.

And then I thought, I thought that was pretty wild.

But then I walked in the bathroom, and there's a deer holding the toilet paper.

That's pretty awesome.
