Welcome to Truth Talk Live. All right, let's talk the truth news. I can't hide it. I can hold it in the morning. A daily program powered by the Truth Network.
This is kind of a great thing, and I'll tell you what. Where pop culture, current events, and theology all come together. Speak your mind. And now, here's today's Truth Talk Live host. Today on Truth Talk Live, we're crossing continents and hearing the heartbeat of God from Africa to America.
Our guests from South Africa and Nigeria have seen the power of God move in ways that would stir your faith, miracles, breakthroughs, and moments where only God could have done it. This isn't just their story. It could be yours too.
So. How about you? If you... Could ask a believer from Africa, which we happen to have two guests today from there, and one from Winston, John Perry, who's here with him. But anyway, if you could ask a believer from Africa one question about their faith, their church life, or miracles that they've seen, what would that question be?
Load it up. It's a good opportunity for you to call us today, 866-3487884. 866-3487884. Our guests are ready to share their stories. and answer your questions live.
Or maybe when was a moment in your life you knew without a doubt that God was real and working in your situation? Call in and share your testimony. We would love to hear it. Your story could be the spark that helps somebody else come to faith. It's so fun today.
We have, first of all, Rob Smith from South Africa. Rob, welcome to Truth Talk Live. Thank you so much. I appreciate it. And uh You have a little different accent than our other guests.
You're from South Africa, I understand. Yeah. And tell us about And busy working on a project in Mombasic. And so I've been able to enjoy the best of Africa and the best of the USA. in my lifetime and I'm grateful for that.
And so now, from what I understand, you have a ministry that reaches into several places in Africa, right? Correct. Yeah, we've done orphan cast throughout sub-Saharan Africa and then business as mission. for the last twelve or thirteen years in Uganda and Tanzania. and now expanding that to tenure.
Right, and we have John Perry here with us as well, who's very familiar with your ministry. John? Yeah, Rob Smith is uh an amazing uh band and I've had a chance to travel. with him to Africa, and he's an incredible guy. We rowed a boat.
and on that boat my brother in law got stuck on that boat for five hours. floating there and then we got rescued off the boat f by by people who came in this little ti little boat. And then we got back to shore, but it was coming it was going very close to the rocks, so every all the locals were diving into the ocean to try to save the Americans from this boat that was One of the best posts on Lake Victoria.
So they're pretty exciting. And our other guest has something to do with the boat, too. Interestingly, we have Fidelis Iabude with us, and he is from Nigeria, but Fidelis, when you were a young man, from what I understand, Sue said we may have to make sure that we tell the story of how you would get to school every morning. Fidelis? Oh, interestingly I Um my name is Fideli Siyebote as um Rob has told you.
I was born in 1950. Uh to a family of uh traders. And uh we had just one school in the community, you know. This is a community in which um there are several villages. And um We had a central school and so every Childs in the various villages will canoe to the central school.
Uh by boots. And uh before you can do that, You have to learn how to swim by the time you are four, five. And if you don't know how to swim, you don't go to school. And so everybody every child has to land has to swim. The parents make sure that every child can swim, but it time they were five.
And so we Myself and my four other siblings, uh Eva, which is uh who was the oldest girl. and uh Mishak Abraham myself. And we had to paddle in our canoes to school. And the children still paddle to school, you know. And they are canoes.
Uh if I have the permission of uh Rob to say this. We need Uh School boat.
well fitted with um computers and everything that students can use. uh on their way to school and back.
So if you have the possibility of donating a school boat We will really appreciate it. And uh how wide is this river?
Well, the river is not a particularly you know, i it has tributaries all over, but In other words, a school boat, I'm trying to get an idea of the. Oh, yeah. a school boat, um 'Cause if you're in a canoe and so you're wanting a boat that I'm just Trying to get a s I'm not sure. large you know um water stream you know um wider than the room we're in Oh, yeah. Oh, by far.
About four times this room.
Okay. Yeah. So for those listening, it'd be about eighty feet. Yeah. So ships pass through the um True deal river.
Oh yeah. And so yeah, we need A school boat as large as as it can be here. And I would be well fitted. You know, students would be comfortable. They can have um desk on which they can study.
Because for some students it takes about five to ten miles. for them to paddle uh nautical miles. Nautical mercu Padu to the central school. And so we really need the school board. And why do we even need the boards?
You know, these are boards that. You know You know, evangelists, people can, you know, go into, you know, people who want to spread the gospel can go into those schools, boards. Um and and share the word of God. And uh Africa they have an ear for the gospel. It's not there are no restrictions.
like we have in schools. I I teach from time to time. As a substitute in in schools in Fairfax County, in Northern Virginia. You can't talk about God in those schools, but here we We have this freedom to speak about God, about Jesus Christ. and in the curriculum of all the schools.
That's you know religious Knowledge, they call it religious instructions. And so this is a great opportunity. to spread the gospel too. And so how about you, Rob? When you were going up in in South Africa, I don't suppose canoes were part of the program.
We've got a rough signal here, guys. Hopefully it'll clear up in a minute. Oh, you're not hearing it too well.
Okay. Well now I didn't hear the voice a little bit That's what our brother was saying, but I didn't hear it. What wait for a school boat and just see describing how you go to school. Mm-hmm. Right.
What was it like growing up in South Africa when you were growing up? Couldn't hear me.
Okay. So moving along, how did you come to faith, Fidelis? Or was that something were your parents Christians, or was that something that happened? How did it happen?
Well, uh, in elementary school, we we read the Bible. And it was compulsory in the Anglican or here it's called the episcopal uh Uh choice or The Anglican school requires that we read The Babel As part of the school curriculum.
So, and they recommended a revised standard version of the Bible. Which from the first grade to the sixth grade. You have to read. every day. It's part of the school curriculum, so it's a subject that you have to learn.
And then in high school, I attended the Methodist High School. Which um was a very good school. And every Tuesday, um We had the choir practice. But every day of the week before school starts, there is the, we call it the assembly hall. Every student have to had to gather.
Well, it sounds like we've got to go to a break for Dellus. I hate to jump in on you there. But in the meantime, if you have a question for Delis or Rob, we would love to hear it. You know, this is your opportunity to talk to a believer from Africa. Still goes over there quite often.
866-348-7884. 866-34 TRUTH. We'll be right back. You're listening to the Truth Network and TruthNetwork.com. Welcome back to True Talk Live.
Today we are crossing the continent. To Africa. We're so blessed to have with us two believers from Africa: one from South Africa, one from Nigeria. We have Rob Smith and Fidelis E. Yeah, boo that.
And as we were left, our hero Fidelis, he was going to share his testimony with us. He had attended. In the elementary school, going through all the the Bible and the RSV version, then went to a Methodist. Um High school, and so pick it up, Fidelis. Yeah, thank you, thank you.
Yeah, so I I attended a Methodist High School and every day of the week we we will have the school assembly. Every student will gather in an assembly hall and we would um We'll sing from the Methodist symbol, Blessed Assurance, Jesus is my. I need it every hour I need it. And we did that for you know five years And yet We did not know Christ. I mean You go to elementary school, read the Bible, and then in high school it was the same thing.
We are simply churchgoers, and we have to go to the school's chapel every Sunday. You know, at the Methodist uh church. But We were simply churchgoers because we did not have a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Because there is no other way. Jesus is the way.
So there's a clear difference between a churchgoer And It saved transformed Life. And uh this was my experience. And um It was not until I went to college in 1973. That's um I met some college students, you know, j j they j they were just like a campus crusade for Christ here. Enormous.
They were very committed students who are spreading the gospel on campus. And so one of them met me and shared the gospel with me. And he said I need Christ. I need to be a Christian. I say, I'm already, I've been a Christian since I was.
I was six when I started going to the Episcopal elementary school. But he said. That's a difference. And he began to share the gospel with me. He began to tell me why I need to confess my sins and ask God to forgive me.
why I need to forgive and forget everyone who has anything against me. And he shared the gospel with me and led me to Christ, you know. We I reluctantly prayed with him because I thought I was a Christian. How could you be going to church? all these years and not Be a Christian.
I said I was a Christian. But then I reluctantly prayed with him. But in my heart of hearts, you know, I knew that there was a difference between his life. And my own life He had this peace in him. It was, I can only liken the experience with what.
And the Moravians had with the methodistino. You remember, you know, the ship in Western the Moravians were traveling with um John Wesley. Right. They they the serenity, the the the peace in in the Moravians. And uh I don't know if he asked He asked, you know, what was the secret behind their Being so peaceful and so, you know, so caring and so loving.
And they shared the gospel with him. And I am told that it was through the Moravians. With the ship with uh John Wesley that he came to know the Lord. That's exactly, you know. The experience that I had with this young man in college.
And it was on march twenty ninth, nineteen seventy three. That I gave my life to Christ, I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Savior and Lord. And Believe me. That's a clear difference. From the life I lived, you know.
What was that difference like for you? The difference was that, you know, the things I used to love to do. that were evil. That will not rise. You know, it's like the Spirit, the Holy Spirit of God came into me.
And gave me the grace, the power to live above sin. And if by mistake, you know. In in those days, you know, we used to do the wrong things deliberately. But when I came to accept Jesus Christ as my personal Savior and Lord. Under no circumstances would I deliberately sin Because God gave me the grace to live above sin.
That's the clear difference. That's wonderful. John, have you been able to I mean, excuse me, Rob, have you been able to hear us? Is the connection better? Heavy and eggs, then.
Can you hear me? I can. I can. How about you in South Africa? How did you come to faith?
Well, I grew up in a Christian home. And um the the denomination that my dad was a pastor and Um presented a theology that said that Jesus paid for my sins, but then you could lose your salvation any time you sinned. And so I I grew up a very confused Man, thinking I was saved and then thinking I wasn't saved. And uh I feel like my conversion occurred one day when I was sixteen years old reading a book by Iain Murray called The Forgotten Spurgeon. and basically laid out what Jesus did for us on the cross and that it was once and for all And that um I didn't have to strive.
Jesus had done it all, and it just lifted this huge weight off my shoulders. of me having to perform in order to To keep the favor of God, and just the realization that Jesus had performed. A perfect life for me that was mine by faith. and that if I confess my sins and accept him into my heart, his righteousness became my righteousness. And of course his death paid for my penalty for my sins.
And so Um that really energized my spiritual life and I I've loved Christ and walked with him ever since. That was in nineteen 74, so it's been a long time. Tiao. That's a long time. 60 years, yeah.
There's a good while.
So now. You know, God has given you a passion and a vision for your ministry. Can you kind of share what that would be, Robert? Uh I mean Rob? Yeah.
You know, I I immigrated to the United States at nineteen. And um if anyone knows much about South Africa, the seventies was the apartheid era. The whole world was against South Africa because they had very um divisive racial policies. And so I lived um South Africa and really left Africa. when I was nineteen and spent twenty years Um In the United States, love the and I still love the United States, I still have a home in Seattle.
And I I d I didn't think much about Africa until the AIDS crisis came along. And what I was hearing from missionaries was just how many orphans were created during the AIDS crisis in the late nineties. In the early 2000s, and so my wife and I began to realize that even though we were we'd lived in America and we'd sort of left Africa But the one thing that we could Offer Is the care of orphans. And so we got into orphan care. And in a big way.
And um we've we've uh got invol involved in raising orphans here in South Africa, in Zambia, and in Uganda. And during the AIDS crisis, And it was very rewarding ministry. Stu Epperson, who is the normal normally the host of Truth Talk Live, was involved in that. And it was just a wonderful ministry. And it was a ministry that had a limited life on it because the age crisis Is no longer taking lives.
There's still a lot of AIDS around, but there's drugs that keep the parents alive, and so the orphan crisis. has been abated. And so our ministry did what it needed to do, and then we actually closed that. Ministry during COVID because the last of our orphans were becoming adults and we were putting them through school. Um but during that era What I realized was that in every area we were caring for orphans, the bigger need Um was economic life so that uh the orphans could have jobs once they became adults.
And so as a serial entrepreneur, I really took hold to be the man that was creating jobs in the areas that we were raising orphans.
So that's what I've been doing ever since. Wow.
Well, we got to go a break. Your opportunity to call in and ask Fidelis or Rob a question: 866-348-7884. You're listening to the Truth Network and TruthNetwork.com. Welcome back to Drew Talk Live. Today we are...
Like going International. How fun. We're crossing the continent over to Africa, both South Africa and Uganda and Nigeria. And oh my goodness, we have Rob Smith. We've just heard about his amazing ministry.
And Fidelis. I butt. I boute. I'll keep trying it until I get it. It's very important to him that I do.
And so I'm going to try to. perfect it. But anyway, um Is this your opportunity? Like you've had a chance to ask an African something that you wondered about when they came up or when they came to faith or even what it's like over there now. You call us 866-348-7884.
And so, Rob, from what I understand, John came over there creating jobs. You even wrote a book on the subject. You still with us, John? Stop. AI, John, Rob, but get my name straight.
Yes. Go ahead, Rob. I'm sorry. Yeah, and I've I've I've written several books but none of them published. It's the way I process my thinking.
And so I didn't publish a book on it. But working on a a fair amount and um And uh Yeah, so I can speak on the on the topic, but the book is not out there. I just wrote it for myself.
Okay. That's cool that, you know, I can understand that I've written a few of those books myself that just helped me kind of focus in. But, John. The other Rob.
So, Vanellis, at least I got your first name right. Anyway. We're getting people fans right there. Nonetheless.
So so, John, when you went over there, I mean, what were you over there showing people how to raise Cattle or what we doing? Yeah, we were Rob and I and my brother in law, Kevin, Uh we were over there with his boat project from Seattle of all things, which he sh which he can tell you more about that part. I that part confuses me, building boats. But the thing that we are over there to do is check out the boat because Some of the captains and things like that were Uh Really riding, the boat was capable of doing lots of things. And so, and I know Rob could speak to that a lot more.
Um but We went over there to check it out and we met with some of the other boat captains and some of those boats were not good. They were Cargo ships, they really didn't. Create a lot of Jobs and they sank a lot. And so I think Rob Smith can speak a lot to that and where we were because we were all over the place.
So wow, on they're on Lake Victoria Rob, you were. Helping people in jobs in voting, both capital or you know, however that worked.
Well, uh I had a um We we raised kids in in Uganda. And um one of the partners that we had in Uganda Knew that I built boats in Seattle, and so he came and said, We need ferries for Lake Victoria. And it was right at the time that I was realizing that God was calling me to be a businessman. in Africa as well as someone who took took care of children. And so, um We started researching where berries had existed before.
the independence of Uganda. and why ferries were not operating where they were needed. And so after identifying a market need We then set about to build ferries in Seattle that we then dismantled. containerize and then rebuilt them on the shores of Lake Victoria. And in doing that, we hired local people to put the boat back to together and then the ones that were the most confident, we then taught them how to even uh go to sea and got them qualified to be the crew on that boat.
Wow, so that's one of those boats. John came over with his with his brother-in-law.
So Are the is the The water rough on Lake Victoria? It can be a little rough at times. Especially when you're floating in a boat for five hours trying to get rescued. Yeah. Yeah, we had a an issue with that boat that we were trying to solve and we were told that it was solved and John and his brother-in-law and myself and And uh our managing director went out really for we I can't remember, John, did we do a commercial run?
I think we just went out just to test it. Yeah, we went out to test it and then all of a sudden You know, these kids are not. Unfortunately, I mean sadly these guys ran the boat. hard harder than it probably should have ran. And so we had to graciously Talk to them.
Push with it that way. Graciously. And so it's fascinating that you guys are on that same Because you know, Fidelis, you were saying earlier, you need a boat. I know a guy. But anyway, you you need a boat.
And so I was telling you during the break, you got to tell people if somebody out there is wanting to give you a boat, and then you need to they need to know how to connect with you, right?
Well, yes.
Well, um To reach me, um, if you reach out to, um to um the truth network. Um uh through uh the sea uh um As to a person. What we need is a boat. Buy the boat. Don't give us money.
Buy the boat. You can buy it in South Africa. You actually you can buy it through Rob Spain. Really? Yes.
True robes me. That's even the best. Then it can go from South Africa to Nigeria. And let me also say something very, very important about the Ministry of Rob Smith. Uh Rob Smith is doing ministry Which A knowledge Of Africa.
Most of whom More often than not, we send missionaries. to Africa. Uh Like for example, doing um Bible translation. It is better for us to train the natives, the native speakers of the language. to do the translation.
If we are sending missionaries, let them go in the capacity Of Consultants. you know, project managers. Certified Project Management Professional. I'm a PMP. and I have been involved with Bible translation.
I took a week leave class. in 1981 in Nigeria. And then I had further training in Lausanne. And Lausanne, Switzerland. where Billy Graham started the itinerary Evangelist program.
So There are so many errors. you find in Bible translation. I do know that no Bible is perfect. Even the King James, their errors, even the the Syrian uh uh Bible, which is one of the best.
So uh the point I'm trying to underline is that Rob Smith is doing ministry with Good knowledge. Of the environment. of the terrain And we need to also come to the understanding that It is not only the gospel we have to preach. It's not just going there and tell people to accept Jesus Christ. Rosmi goes there.
He studies the needs. of the people. and it finds the felt needs, and one of them is economic. and is ministering to that need. Because you can't go and tell somebody about Jesus Christ when he's hungry.
And that's why we need to support ministries like that of Rob Smith. Because He understands what the people need. Take care of their basic needs. You know, they need hospitals, they need schools. like we are trying to get a campus of Carolina University.
in Africa. Because the former president Uh Dr. Petit. Had a meeting with me a few years ago, and he said, Fidelis, can you recruit students for us? in Africa and I said yes.
I was a journalist for forty five years. in various parts of the world. you know, in Copenhagen, in Denmark. you know in Africa. I was in US News and World Report for years.
So I have a clear understanding of what goes on, you know, around the world.
So We need to, you know. Support ministries, and I repeat it, you know, support ministries like that of Ross Meads. and you will reach out to people. And Get their ears open to hear the gospel.
So speaking of that, Rob, how would people connect with your ministry?
Well Yeah. You just Uh oh, we're losing Rob, but we're going to get him back. Can you hear me? Yeah, we can now. Yeah.
Okay. Somewhat.
Okay, let me try that again. Um my not for profit that was sort of more of a traditional history Once we raised our kids, we then shut it down.
So we didn't want to be a not for profit that was needing a crisis to exist. The crisis is over. Yeah. Am I coming to it clearly? Yeah.
Yeah. but I have continued in Africa as a minister who is a businessman. And so the way that we reach people for Christ and the way that we influence the culture is by running business here. And so we have the ferry business, and then we also have a Light. Train system.
that we have come up with that's very novel. and very inexpensive. And it's green, which will Um give them light rail through the city of Mombasa. And we hope the bedworks we then come to Lagos. and do other major cities in the Epic and function that really struggle with traffic.
And so, if someone wants to find out about it, they can just email me. And so I could spell that out. It's Rob at Earthwise Ventures. Does Angie hear an error? wise ventures Dot com.
Rob at EarthwiseVentures.com. There you go. Yeah, and I'll tell you, let's tell them what we're up to. Back. And so when you say a light train I'm visualizing a lot of things.
I'm really curious of what that actually is.
Well, I'll tell you what, we we've taken four proven ideas and we're combining them. And this may sound crazy, but Modern roller coasters. or held up by poles that are about A field here. 70 meters apart, it's about 120 to 150 feet apart. And they lie.
if the battery if they're electric because of the track and not the battery, or light. And so we're taking AI self-driving cars. Roller coaster track. And um the software that would Distribute parcels in a warehouse in that where every parcel gets to the right truck. combined with solar solar power to provide a Green.
Light train system for cities like Lagos. I hate we got to go to a break because this sounds like a wild ride.
So we're buckling up when we come back with your questions. 866-348-7884. We'd love to hear from you. 866-348-7884, the Thunderbolt train coming up. You're listening to the Truth Network and TruthNetwork.com.
Welcome back to Truth Talk Live. Today we are crossing over to Africa with Rob Smith and Fidelis. Fidelis. E boute. How'd I do?
Yeah, you did very well. Very well. We left our hero, Rob. These roller coaster trains are very inviting.
Now I'm picturing other things.
So you got to get me straight here because I'm thinking that, man, these are going to be some wild rides. But it seems genius, right? If you've got the power supply in the tra in the tracks and It it it's an amazing way to get you know, transportation to people that otherwise wouldn't get it. Mm-hmm. Well, you know, as the dealers will know.
If you were an employee in Lagos, Nigeria, and you do not live on the island. But you work on the island where all the jobs are. It'll take you three and a half to four hours to get to work. And so we've been looking at the I've really been studying it from a ferry perspective because there's lots of water in Lagos. for many years.
thinking how can we put a ferry system in a very shallow bay And then the the idea came to me Two years ago. that we can go down Main Street on reinforced telephone poles The tractor is sixty two inches wide. And it's rubber wheel, so it's quiet. AI and The just the the abundance now of of uh electric vehicles just makes a perfect solution, an affordable solution for an African city. And because it's green, Europe will pay for it.
Because committed itself to committed itself to green projects to sort of purge their conscience of destroying the earth. as they believe they will do. by twenty fifty if they don't take action.
So they are funding green projects all over the world, and we would just love them to fund something as radical as this and our plan is to Go to Europe and do green bonds and then get carbon credits for what we create. And the result will be. Yeah. Been able to get to work in twenty minutes instead of hours, and then while you're in the car, you can hear the gospel. You can hear good gospel truth.
Throughout Africa.
So that's our goal. God, it's so and and from what I saw and from what John was saying, you're Your ferries were electric too. It says the electric boat company.
Well, it could run away. Yeah, fairies with diesel. But we do make electric volts. uh for pleasure boats but the market just despite cities all around the world mandating electric ferries, The market is still figuring out how to do it. Um And so we're not huge proponents of electric boats.
But we certainly are proponents of electric trains. because in the water water resists What is the probably the most difficult think to power through because you're pushing is not going uphill all the time. If you had a Chester car and you went uphill, Um all the time, your car would last about half an hour. And so that's the problem with boating: is that you're with such resistance, and so you need more power than normal. Yeah.
in a car or a train, once you get to the speed that you need to go, it takes very little power to maintain that speed, especially if you're level. And so if you think of the city of Lagos, Dallas or the city of Mombasa we were working. It's a flat city. very few uphills. And so it's ideal that you have a very flat roller coaster.
So even though it's a roller coaster track, It's not going up and down, it's just going with the street. And so we're very excited about it, and we're doing our prototype train in Mombasa. We just about just started. That is awesome. Really, really cool ideas and again putting African people to work, and again, if that's it's within Christian companies, obviously they're going to be rubbing elbows with people that's going to share.
And and so how about your own initiatives in Africa, Fidelis? What what are you doing these days?
Well, uh what we've been trying to do are two things. Uh one, We are trying to see how we can get the Bible into every language. In Africa. You know, I, as I said, I had weekly Bible translation training in 1981. And then another one in Switzerland, in Lausanne, Switzerland.
Um In Africa, people especially in the rural communities, cannot r read and write. But If you get them a message in their language, they understand it. If you preach in their language, they understand it. If you have the Bible, in video Like the Assemblies of God is trying to do with their videobible.com. What they are trying to do is to put the Bible In in the languages of the people.
so they can watch It's, you know. As a movie. And I still remember in the 1950s when we were in elementary school, and up to the 60s. There were no movies In the part of the country that I most parts of the country, especially in the rural areas. Also, when the British, and these were the colonial days, when the British Minister of Information will bring what they call Sim Cinemato, one of the communities.
people will paddle their canoes from everywhere To come and watch it. Similarly, If you put the Bible in video People will come from anywhere to watch it. They are coming to watch cinema, and then in this case, it's going to be in their own language. The Bible in their own language.
So, those are some of the projects that I have been. working on and uh I God especially trained me over the years as a journalist. You know, not to need Africa. but also in Washington DC. I was in Washington.
I worked for the U.S. News and World Report. I also briefly worked for the Washington Post. And I was a fellow of the American Society of Newspaper Editors. In Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy in Tufts University in Medford, which is Just uh in my str uh a stone's throw from Harvard.
And so I had goddess. you know, trained me in. To be able to help with some of these projects. But we don't have the resources, we don't have the finance to do it. Because what needs to be done is to have the people themselves.
the custodians of the laws, the the customs and traditions of the people to translate the Bible. And then We can send you know, missionaries. You know, I I see myself as um As a missionary plenipotentiary, because I can do a lot of things. Bible translation you know, building alphabets in any language You know, and helping the people to translate the Bible, and then we just go there. And look at what they've done.
the fact checking, we do all the project management, evaluate everything and be sure that everything is accurate. These are some of the things we are doing. And then perhaps more importantly, is a fact that You cannot Get your people to, you know, to to Joe, Joe. listen to the word of God, except they have some education. And so what we are doing is Try and bring A university, for example, like Carolina University, I've been in touch with them.
for years. Let's build a campus, let's establish a campus of Carolina University in Africa. to train the young people. Get college education. And be able to help with missionary work as well, like we were talking about the school boat.
If we have source things They will be listening to the gospel every day. Like, if we have a radio station, like, you know, Stu Epperson and I have been talking about having a radio station. In a rural community, you know. in one of the mission fields that I go to. We can use the radio to preach the gospel.
But we c we can also use the radio. to broadcast You know. Causes in Physics, in chemistry, in biology, in mathematics.
So that not only do they hear the gospel, but they also are having the education on radio. And so these are very important projects that I have been working on it for years, but I have not had the finance to. to bring them to uh the light of day.
