Thank you for listening to this message you tonight about investing early.

Okay investing early in the in the stock market there's something called an IPO.

And an IPO is an initial public offering.

It's when a stock is made public an IPO, an initial public offering.

Okay?

Now, interestingly, if you had in May the 15th, 1997 invested $1,000 on the day of the IPO, the international public, the initial public offering, if you had made a thousand dollar investment into a

company called Amazon it would have increased by 117,000% and brought you a 32% annual yield and $1,000 in 1997 would be worth

1.1 million dollars today.

1,000 dollars.

But who could see it when Home Boys got an idea to sell books on the internet.

That's literally where he started. We're going to sell books on the internet.

He saw the rate of growth in the internet and decided there would be something in the future called Internet sales.

And I feel like when I come in here I've been given an IPO. I feel like we're on the ground floor of something that is going to shift the earth for generations to come.

I don't feel like that, I know that.

And you and I are going to be able to say we were there early on.

And that's an amazing thing to be able to stop and say,

I was there on the ground floor.

I was a part of the initial public offering where I was given opportunity to invest in what the Lord's doing.

I want you to know that when you pray, that when you sew, that when you volunteer, when you share, when you

you connect to people around the community to share what the Lord is doing

you are literally investing into something that if you'll look back years

to come it's going to be fascinating the yield and the return that's going to take place globally through what you're doing and what you're a part of.
