Amen, where the people of God are, that is where he is at, and that is where he makes his dwelling place.

I'm really excited about tonight's message.

I really like how they grouped the Easterners together tonight, but God has a plan.

How many people were at the graduation last night?

When I was sitting down listening to the graduation and watching all the various people come up and just go through this very wonderful procedure.

I was reminded when I graduated from Weimar College.

And when I graduated from Weimar College, they announced something very similar, which was to be very respectable, be very respectful and reverent during this time.

And sure enough, that was very important.

And so what took place was at Weimar College, they had this graduation.

I was graduating, so I thought to myself, I'll invite my Hindu family to this graduation and maybe they'll get converted by the graduation speaker.

And what happened was, they declined to come.

You ever had those kinds of situations where you see everybody else's family there, super supportive, and you feel like you are the loneliest person in this entire universe, that's how I felt during my graduation.

You see, I had been working with a black church, and this black church decided to show up uninvited to my graduation.

And what took place was when they started going through the processional they announced, they're not the processional, they started announcing everybody's name and sure enough they had Bob Williams come up to get his degree, and Bob Williams would come up, and you hear this, amen, amen, you know?

So that's what was taking place, and then they announced Cindy Williams, Cindy Williams, amen, amen, and then they said, Anel Kanden, All of a sudden, it was like lightning stroke, and everybody at Weimar awoke.

And I turned, and I looked, and I saw all those church members there supporting me.

It was so loud, it made the teachers tremble.

Why don't we begin with a word of prayer.

Let's ask Jesus to bless us with his Holy Spirit.

Father in heaven, thank you so much again for this time.

And Lord, right now I think of Paul when he was preaching late.

And Eutychus, that young man was on that housetop and all of a sudden he fell over.

Lord, I pray that no 1 would fall over today.

I pray, Jesus, that the message would be heard and the words that you have designed to impress upon our hearts, that that experience would take place tonight.

May we leave excited and just wowed by what you can do tonight.

Now how many people enjoyed canvassing this summer?

How many people have not canvassed before in their entire life?

All right, my challenge is to you, next summer, you need to experience that.

I was thinking about how awesome it is to see when 1 person is changed by ministry and what they can do.

Now, I had a youth kid when I first started working at the series church as a pastor.

Now, Maverick, where's Maverick right now?

Now, you need to hurry up real quickly, okay?

So I had this youth kid by the name of Maverick and he was much shorter than the way he is.

And when I first heard his name, I thought, that's a mascot.

And so here was Maverick right here, okay?

And when I was working as an associate pastor at Ceres, I said to, you know, I've got to get at least 1 person into the canvassing work.

I was able to convince 1 person and his name was Maverick.

Now I thought, praise the Lord, I never forgot when I sent him off, he was just a little bit timid, not knowing what he was going to get himself involved into.

But it was powerful to see what God did in his life.

And then I thought, wow, I wonder what's going to happen next.

Next year, the year after this, OK, there were 2 more kids who were inspired by Maverick.

1 of whose name is Robbie Backlot and Christy Aguirre.

And you know who was influential in their lives to go canvassing?

Because as Maverick began to share and began to just witness to them, they decided to get into canvassing.

Then all of a sudden I'm hearing, they're going to Seoul West.

And I thought, wow, praise the Lord, right?

Because from their influence, there was a couple more kids who decided to get involved.

1 was by the name of Cheyenne, is she here?

And I was blown away because here they are, they're starting to canvassing.

I really thought, okay, I can understand they go canvassing, but I cannot understand they go canvassing.

And so what happened is, all of a sudden I'm hearing, they're joining the Soles Northwest Program, is that what you call it?

But it didn't just stop there because the year after There was another person who decided to join, I was just blown away by this person.

It was a guy by the name of Larry Carter who decided to start canvassing, but that didn't happen.
