Keene had no church to attend in his village, so he would take a four-hour journey to another church for many years.

And in the process, he realized God was calling him to plant a church in his own village where Jesus was not known.

And thanks to the generosity of brothers and sisters like you, Radical gave Keene training

and resources that helped him plant a church in his village that now has over 150

numbers.

This year, we have the opportunity to support 10,000 gospel leaders like Keene in hard-to-reach places in the world

that need the same training and resources he received to spread the gospel in their communities.

And you can be a part of this by starting to support them today.

Through the end of the year, every gift you give will be doubled,

dollar for dollar, regardless of size. Let's make Jesus known in our neighborhoods and all

nations together. Double your impact. Give today. Visit radical.net slash make Jesus known now.

John chapter 8, verse 58, Jesus said to them, truly, truly I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.

So they picked up stones to throw at him.

But Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple.

So this is the most clear declaration from Jesus that he is the I am Yahweh God himself as we read through the book of John we see all

these different I am statements but here he just flat out says not I am the bread or I am the good

shepherd or I am the door he He just says, I am, period.

Before Abraham was.

This is a clear allusion back to God's revelation of himself in the Old Testament,

specifically to Moses, when God revealed himself in a burning bush and Moses asked,

who shall I say is sent me when I go to Egypt? And God says, tell them I am sent you.
