Amen and amen. How many of the church? Good? Who's excited to sponsor some kids today. Are you ready?

Don't be nervous. It's going to be awesome. How many of you already sponsor a compassion kid?

You already sponsor at least one kid. Praise God. That's awesome. All you got to do is sponsor two or three more today and you'll be good to go. How many of you don't sponsor a kid yet? Anybody brave enough to raise

your hand? All right, you're up, okay? I need all you to do this. This is just a part of what we do

as a church, okay? Lots of churches are known for all kind of different stuff. Some churches

are known for their music, some for their preaching. We are known as a church

that sponsors a whole bunch of compassion kids, all right? On Thursday night, we sponsor 555,

which puts us over 18,000 kids have been rescued from poverty in Jesus name amen amen now so I am

fully confident that after today's services at all of our locations and

online we should be over that 20,000 number amen when I may go now it's not a

competition but we're not only winning we We are kicking butt, all right?

We are lapping other churches.

And I dare another church to try to sponsor more kids.

I hope they will.

You know why?

Because then that would be another 20,000 children rescued from poverty in Jesus' name.

And so I challenge all you other pastors that are listening right now.

Step up your game.

But this is what we're going to do.

We're in week five of the Book of James.

We're studying it for like 14 weeks.

We haven't made it out of chapter one.
