Let us return to Acts chapter one. Acts chapter one. And verse one. Acts one and one. The former treaties have I made, O Theopolis, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach, until the day in which he was taken up. After that he, through the Holy Ghost, had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen, to whom also he showed himself alive after his passion by many infallible truths, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God. and being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which saith he, ye have heard of me. For John truly baptized with water, but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence. When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons which the Father hath put in his own power, but ye shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost has come upon you, and ye shall be witnesses unto me, both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and in Samaria and unto the uttermost parts of the earth. Paul will read tonight. Now this morning we were speaking on the author of this book, Luke, and also he was the writer of the Gospel of Luke. And that's why he refers in verse one to the former creed, referring to the Gospel of Luke. But here we have the Acts of the Apostles, or you might say the Acts, or the operation of the Holy Spirit through the Apostles and God's earthly people, or those who were saved by grace at the Pentecost. And so the story of the Acts is really the Acts of the Holy Spirit, the operations of the Holy Spirit through human being saved by sovereign grace. That's a remarkable deal. Now in this book you have about thirty-two years, the first thirty-two years of church history. In other words, it took thirty-two years for the gospel to leave a little group of Jews saved by grace and to reach throughout the world or unto the eastern part of the great Roman Empire at that time. It didn't take place in one or two days or one or two weeks or one or two months or one or two years. It took thirty-two years for the Gospel to reach from that little group of Hebrew Christians unto the Gentiles and, as you say, as far as the eastern half of the Roman Empire at that time. This is the first and most accurate church history ever written. Now, many have undertaken since to write church history. I read Miller's Church History, composing a three-large volume at one time, covering the two thousand years. And it was very enlightening, very sound, very fundamental, unbiased, uncredited. But there are other writers of church history, and they have given a very biased, prejudiced history of the church. And down to the present time, I presume there have been hundreds of writers who have given their view, colored quite often by whatever denomination they might be in, they've colored it in favor of their particular group. to try and say this is the way the church was established, this is the way the church developed, and thus we have it today. But the most accurate church history ever written is the Acts of the Holy Spirit as seen here in the Book of Acts. As we operated through individuals for the preaching of the gospel, to the establishing of little churches, and then the Gospel going on throughout the whole world. Now the Acts of the Apostles can be looked upon as a bridge, or you might say it's a transition period from what you've got in the Gospels to what you have in the Epistle. For instance, there would be no churches for the Epistle, were it not for the Book of Acts. because all those churches that the epistles were written to, such as Corinth and Ephesus and Galatia and so on, those churches were begun in the Acts. And so, therefore, the gospel that is preached throughout the Acts, and these various groups of believers reached and saved and established, then the Apostle, he writes the epistles to these already existing churches, they were established in the Book of Acts. Now this is quite an important little book. There would be a lot of questions unanswered. A lot of things unexplained were, if not for the Book of Acts. If you were to start reading the Book of Acts, right after John's Gospel, there would be a lot of questions unanswered. And a lot of things hard to explain. But when you go through this little book of the Acts, twenty-eight chapters, then your eyes are opened and prepared to go into the epistles. The epistles give us church orders, church government, and many other things pertaining to what God expects of a local church even to this day. And so we have the Acts, and it's like a bridge, a bridge from the Gospels, to the Epistle. A bridge from Palestine to a Europe. Because it began at Palestine and then it went out to a Europe. And then also it's a bridge from Jerusalem over to Rome. It ends in Rome, as you'll find in the latter chapter, the Apostle Paul in his own hired house in Rome. His work is done after his pre-missionary journey. And also it's the bridge from Israel to the world. Christ came unto his own, the Jew, his own received and not. And he said, I'm not sent, but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. He came first to the house of Israel. But when Israel as a nation rejected him, then he turned to the Gentiles and the Gospel went out to all nations, and God today is gathering out the people from all nations, a people for his name known as the Church. The Lord Jesus began his first and final farewell to Jerusalem as far as the literal kingdom was concerned, when as approaching the cross, He came to Jerusalem, and he left over that city. O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, how often would I have gathered thee together as a hen, gathered her brood under a wing, but she would not. Your house is left unto you, yes it. Here is Christ's farewell to that beloved city, as far as the literal kingdom is concerned, but in that city began a little Hebrew church, a group of believers, gathering to the name and to the person of our risen Christ. Not a Christ on earth, but a Christ in war. And also the book of Acts takes us from the earthly kingdom of Israel to the church, the body of Christ, and the church is a heavenly. It takes us from the law. into the full realization and exhalation of what grace is. If your Bible did not have the book of Acts, you really wouldn't understand the full operation and the working of the grace of God. If your Bible did not have the book of the Acts and concluded with John, you wouldn't really understand the operation of the grace of God in reaching and saving precious souls. And then again you have the transition from Christ on earth to Christ in glory. The apostle says, if I have known Christ in the flesh, henceforth know I him no more. Paul says, I am not following Christ as he was here in the flesh. I am following Christ as a living man in the glory. You could have known Christ after the flesh as a historical figure, and that wouldn't take you there. You've got to know Christ as a living man in heaven before you'll ever go to heaven. And Christ as a living personality was revealed to the Apostle Paul on the Damascus Road, and that was Paul's message from that day on. and the real story of the act, and the persecutions that invited those, or the one message that invited the persecution of those apostles, and also the persecution, was this, the resurrection of Jesus Christ. You'll see that as we go along, and these things I'm just watching over at the moment, or introducing, you'll take up in detail as we proceed, through this wonderful little book. And so the very thing that brought on the various persecutions of the early Christians, it was not preaching Christ after the flesh. It was preaching Christ as a living man in heaven. And that implies that he rose again from the dead, and it was this that infuriated the enemies of the church and the enemies of the Christ of God himself. And then this little book is the transition period, or the bridge from twelve disciples, to one man, the Apostle Paul, God's chosen man, who carried the gospel to the Gentile, our chosen vessel. And so you have these things in the little book of the Acts. You have the Ascent. of the Son of God in chapter one that we've been speaking on. We've taken many texts out of this book over the years. I will come to them as we do in each chapter. We'll be saying something about them again because when we preached them before, many were here now, didn't hear it. And so we will be taken up sometime with some of these little texts that we've used over the years. And you have in chapter one the ascent of the Son of God going up. being seized up into heaven. And then you had the advent of the Spirit of God coming down. And not till Christ went up and took his seat that God's right hand did the Holy Spirit come down on the day of Pentecost. And the Spirit could not come until Christ ascended and not till glorified humanity went into the presence of Jesus. Yet deity comes down to a pride in the heart of humanity, in the heart of all those who would put their faith in Christ and the Spirit of God would come in. And God has a representative in every child of God. The Spirit of God is in his heart. Deity dwelling in humanity. And now we have in our representative at God's right hand glorified humanity, dwelling in humanity. in the very presence of the earth. So you have the advent of the Son of God going up and advent of the Spirit of God coming down. Then you have the advance of the church going on in the act of the Apostle. You know what's very amazing? The Apostle Peter, his name is mentioned sixty times in the first Twelve chapters of the Acts of the Apostle. Sixty times. How many times do you think Paul's name is found in the latter half of the book of Acts? A hundred and twenty-six times. And as Peter fades out, Paul comes in, and Paul is the one, the dominating figure, in the latter half of the book of the Acts. Now in chapters two, on chapter seven, you have the gospel going to Jerusalem. Then you have from chapter eight, and in chapter nine, you have chapter eight, the gospel going to Judea. And also in chapter eight, you have the gospel going to Samaria. Then you have the conversion of the apostle Paul in chapter nine, the conversion of Cornelius in chapter ten. Then you find the gospel going to the uttermost parts of the earth in the three missionary journeys of the Apostle Paul. In other words, you have the church established in the beginning. Then you have the church expanding. Then you have the church expanding to the uttermost parts of the earth. These are just outlines of this wonderful book of the Acts. If you come through chapter eleven, you'll find the Apostle Paul, he's at Antioch. And in that assembly there were some very gifted men. Five are mentioned. The Apostle Paul is one, and Barnabas is the other. And in chapter twelve you have Peter in prison. That's a lovely chapter, and you get to Will Delibar. But in chapter thirteen, you find the Apostle Paul and Barnabas being commended. God said to these elders in Antioch, these three, the Spirit of God said, Separate me Barnabas and Paul unto the work, where to I have called them. And so they were called. God called them. And these men, representing the assembly in Antioch, laid their hands upon. Now they didn't impart any gifts to Paul and Barnabas. All they did by the laying on of hands was identifying themselves as an assembly with a gift of man that God had raised up. They recognized this man to have a gift from God. They recognized he was called of God, and God made his very place. because Paul had proven himself in chapter eleven, and so the elders in Antioch were very happy to lay their hands upon Paul and Barnabas and send them forth with the gospel of God's saving grace. That is of chapter thirteen and forty. Then you have the council at Jerusalem in chapter fifteen, because there was much discussion then about these Gentile converts. The Jews couldn't understand why Gentiles should not be under law, why Gentiles should not be circumcised and also made to keep the law. And of course they all came together. The apostles and the elders came together to discuss this situation and to deliver a letter to all the church explaining why Gentiles and even converted Jews were not under law. They were now in the realm of grace. That was the outcome of that council at Jerusalem in chapter fifteen. And after that begins Paul's first missionary journey from chapter fifteen to chapter eighteen. He comes back to Antioch and he reports about the remarkable things that he had seen God do. Then you have Paul's second missionary journey, chapter eighteen to twenty-one. His third missionary journey, and that is the third one from the eighteenth to the twenty-first chapter in verse fourteen, and then you find Paul back at Jerusalem. That's when he had those trials in the plot before Phileas, Agrippa, and Crestes. And then he says, I appeal unto Caesar. All right, thou art appealed unto Caesar, unto Caesar, shalt thou go. Then you have Paul's journey in chapter twenty-seven, that remarkable void from Jerusalem unto Rome. And chapter twenty-eight finds the aged apostle in his own hired house in Rome, receiving all that came unto him. And thus the story of the Acts concludes, beginning in Jerusalem and ending in Rome. proclaimed to fulfill that scripture which says you shall go out with the gospel you preach it first as he said in Jerusalem in verse eight but ye shall receive power after the Holy Ghost has come upon you and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem that's where it all began with a few Jewish believers and then in all Judea there's the stake which the city was And then in Samaria, another state, and then unto the uttermost part of the earth. And the book of Acts covers all that in the period of thirty-two years. Another has put it this way. I think Phillips puts it this way, and I think it's very good. You have God's man, first of all, in Simon Peter. Then you have God's martyr in Stephen. And then you have God's missionary in Saul of Tate, three M's and three S's. God's man, Simon Peter, first. Then God's martyr, Stephen. Then God's missionary, Saul of Tate. And in the first case you have Peter, and he's in dominance in the first five chapters. And because he dominates that, you have separation, you have power, you have persecution, but you have fraudulent. Then when you come to the period that Stephen dominates, chapter six on to twelve, you have new voices arising, you have new victories being won, but you also have new violence against the early church, the Evangelical. Then you come to that last half of the book, dominated by the Apostle Paul, God's chosen vessel to the Gentiles. You have the pioneer, the Apostle Paul, and his three missionary journeys. Then you have him finally the prisoner in Rome, and that concludes the book of the Acts. And so here you have this amazing book of twenty-eight chapters, divided up in these various sections, and which we'll dwell on at length, as we proceed to it. But now we're going to give you just a brief outline of missionary work. There are seven double M's. I'm going to give you tonight, and it'll be very easy for you to remember. I think one time we made reference to them years ago, but it didn't take any time to try and develop them, and I'm not going to do it tonight. You'll just give you the outline and you can use it yourself. You'll give you the bones you put the meat on. And so you have, first of all, the Acts is a missionary magazine, the first one ever written. You know today there are a lot of missionary magazines out, but this is the first one and the most reliable one. First, missionary magazine. Now, a missionary magazine, if you pick it up, it generally tells about converts, people being saved, and about recruits, those who have offered their services to go out as missionaries and serve the Lord in various deeds. And in that missionary magazine, you have certain missionary stations. And in that magazine you'll find nature churches are springing up in certain countries in the world. And then again you have furlough mentioned. And the pictures of those are home on furlough in that missionary magazine. And you have reports given of missionaries in that magazine. You have it all except the picture in the book of the act. Here's the Apostle Paul and Barnabas they go way on their first missionary journey. And after covering many miles and establishing many assemblies, Paul says to Barnabas, let us return again to Antioch and tell them all that God has done to us. He's coming home on a brief furlough and to tell the marvelous things that God had brought them. So the book of the Acts is the first missionary magazine telling us about the work of the Lord and soul being saved and people being raised up and being sent forth to preach and churches being established and furloughs of the workers and the report of the work. Then you've got the second couple of M. The missionary medium is in verse eight. And that really As you might say, the great chakra of world evangelism, verse eight, and I read it through a few moments ago, but ye shall receive power. The missionary medium, the great chakra of the church, ye shall receive power, ye. And this is it. Everything is based on this. Not angels that receive power. Without you, ye shall receive power. I'm praying you might just as well stop right here. I have seen a missionary or a representative or a witness to the Lord, unless you have the power to do it. Ye shall receive power. It's one thing to be saved by the grace of God. Every Christian is. It's another thing. to have power in your picture or in your testimony or in your witness. Yes, it is. Ye shall receive power when. Not you angels, but human beings saved by grace. Ye shall receive power when you go to college, when you go to the seminary, for when someone lays empty hands on a left empty head, no. That's not when you receive power. You receive power when the Holy Ghost comes upon you. And only in the energy and power of the Holy Spirit will any message be effected or effected in the salvation of souls and the building up of the people of John. And there you have it. Ye shall receive power. And ye shall be with it. Now that the most important words, that the most important words in that verse are these. Ye and be. You've got to receive something before you're going to be something. No man can receive anything except if he's given him from above. Ye shall receive, then you shall be. only when you have received Christ the beginning, and the Spirit of God is nestled in your heart, only then, in the power of an unclean spirit, will you be a witness on today, whether it be in the home or in the uttermost parts of the earth. Then you come to the missionary mandate, ye shall be, and that shall be. not a choice. That is a command. Knee shall be. And when in the power of an unbeliever you go forth to the gospel of the grace of God, you're following a command of the commander and chief himself, you're going forth as a voluntary recruit, a voluntary witness, energize and empowered by the Holy Spirit of God. And then things will happen, as it did then. It will happen today, for the living Christ hasn't changed. The power of the gospel hasn't changed. And really in one sense, the human heart hasn't changed. If I were asked one time on my trip north, I was asked a dozen times, how do you reach hippies? Well, we haven't had any, as I know, of coming to the chapel, not out and out, at least, to my knowledge. Well, I said, now, I don't believe, and this has been my answer, sit in. I don't believe that the hippie's mind or the hippie's heart is any more twisted and warped and distorted than has been the case with thousands of people over the last nineteen hundred years. You can look in all parts of the world and see heathen of every kind and color and character on their mind in another direction have been just as twisted and distorted as the hippies are today. And what is God's way of reaching men of all generation? Whether they be those in the first century or those in the second or those in the century that literally live, there's only two things. That's conviction of sin and faith in Jesus Christ. There's no new form in the image. They've got to be convicted of their sin and they've got to come to Christ for salvation. I don't care what to say. That's the answer for the hippie. And it's the only answer. God's not to come up and rewrite. He's not going to rewrite the new Bible for the hippie. He's not going to come up with a new message, a fresh message for the hippies. No, he isn't. Here's the message in the Bible. And if you want the proof of that, read Romans chapter one. And there you see even, many of them evidently, with reprobate minds, far worse than that of the hippies. Paul says, Mayans, they meet the need of such people. They cross For it is the power of God unto salvation. He actually won the belief. And if he gets saved, he's got to be saved through conviction of sin and birth from the Bible. And the Spirit performs both of them. He convicts of sin, and he chitens the soul to trust Christ. And you can boil it all down to that. That's the message for the hidden. And that's the message for every man and every woman everywhere. So you have missionaries, man in day who shall be my witness, and you go forth with a drip of that, to preach the story, the gospel of a risen, glorified Christ, to man in his lost and ruined and helpless condition. This for every age. Then you have the method, the missionaries, methods of witnessing. Witnessing. People are not going to be saved unless Christians witness. If the Twelve hadn't witnessed why there'd be no church today, and when the people got saved three thousand on the day of Pentecost, if they hadn't started witnessing, there'd be no church today. And it's been the witnessing of God's people. And here and there God raises up a voice, one who is able to present the gospel. But on the real basis of evangelism, it's personal work. Witnessing, witnessing, witnessing. They went everywhere preaching the word, it says in the early Acts, after one of those severe persecutes. And so this is it. We are to be witnesses. Don't go and tell what you think. No. Don't go and tell what others think. You go and tell what you know experimentally. Ye shall be my witness. And the witnesses is one who can tell what you have seen and what you have heard. That's what he is. And a person can only go forth in Scripture if he knows the living Christ in his heart. And he can speak of something that he has experienced, something he knows about. He was there when it happened. He was saved by the grace of Christ. He saw the Savior by faith. He heard his voice speaking in his heart. and witnessing about something he's familiar with. He's acquainted with. He's certain about it. That's a witness. And he says, give us no thought. This is God's message. Witnessing, witnessing, witnessing for Christ. That's a wonderful thing to do. And that's the Christian message, the missionary's message. He says, he shall be witnesses unto me. And what an inexhaustible subject. Christ says, ye shall be witnesses unto me. Go out in the power of the Spirit. And what can you talk about? Me. Is not an inexhaustible subject? Be witnesses unto me, says the risen Lord. Talk about me. Tell people of me. That's it. And you know it's something to be able to tell witnesses about a person that you know. Tell people about someone that you've actually met. Become a believer. I've tried an experience last Tuesday night in Atlanta. When I arrived Monday at the Browns, I was told that a certain singer I had just heard about him. Jerome Hyde, like many of you have heard about him, the great opera singer, who accepted Christ. And they said he's going to be singing in Atlanta Tuesday night. And we've got you a place in that big banquet hall, and you'll be sitting at a certain table, and twelve dollars a seat. Well, I didn't pay it, I'll tell you that. But I was invited to, and I thought it was a wonderful opportunity. I'm going to hear this great singer. And I'll tell you, he was a great singer. I've heard of other opera singers. In fact, I had one with me one time, the band of his work. He was right here in Aubrey, many of you know, Ronnie Avalon. And I've heard others. And I have been too impressed with someone. But I was impressed with this man. And the more... He sang and talked to Paul or he grew in my testimony. That man, his advanced agent, told me the next day, if I'm telling you something, that he wouldn't say himself. He said, Jerome Heinz was offered forty thousand dollars to have his picture taken, drinking a glass of beer from a boat. He said, no. Well, you don't have to drink the beer. Just stand holding it. No, he said, I don't drink the beer myself, and I'm not going to give that impression to the world. I don't want you for this. That's the man. Oh, the testimony of that man gave his testimony. When he got to seeing that him, my brother had seen, I thought, well, I heard many offers from that man. And I thought the best one I'd ever heard was not, it was one that sings with Billy Graham. What's your name? Yeah, Dev Shade. Dev Shade. And the wise looked up. But I thought Dev Shade always thinks it's so beautiful. But to know when this man began to sing, I wouldn't tell you it was so... He would mean that him... Tears began streaming down people's cheeks. One lady dressed in awe of her pangry. Tears ran down her face the whole time. And fifteen people after that said they got saved. And there were people, many a billionaires. He bade the audience in tears. But he sang a drow that weeped with him. He drew that when he turned down forty thousand dollars. Just the whole of last of years. So that night, of course, after the performance was over, many crowded around him. He passed our table every time he went to platform, that was Christ, born after his permission, and then returned it. He was only a fifteen-seat problem where he was on the platform. Our table was right against the platform. And I listened to that man. I could see character, solidarity, solidarity written all over. And he went by, and he went out. And on the way out, I was standing within three feet of him, but so many people were trying to talk to him. He was writing out autographs. I thought, well, I don't want to improve. Maybe someone is interested. Then when I got home, I found out the next day the Browns were going to have open house and all the people who wished to come could be there the next afternoon to meet Jerome Heim. Well, I thought, I'll get to see him there. So he came the next afternoon, and I walked in, the great big reception hall, the ground home, and all the other rooms. I was sitting there within twelve feet of listening to, looking at him. He looked at me, and then he finally got up, and this advanced man was showing pictures of the great opera that he's made on the way, three hours at night. And he brushed by me three times, and he brushed slowly. He was in a hurry to do something, and I was going the other direction, and I didn't make an attempt to stop him. Finally, he was notified he only had forty-five minutes to get the play. And he shot out of that place, and the one of the man who took them didn't get three tickets. Well, after it was all over, and everybody left, it was about eleven o'clock, Wednesday night, I said, well, isn't that something? I saw this man, Jerome Hines, I heard him speak, I heard him sing, I rubbed shoulders with him, I saw others meet him, and I admired him, but I didn't get to meet him. I didn't. I didn't get to meet him. I thought, isn't it, Mr. and Mrs. Brown, that's our fault, I said. It was not your fault at all. It wasn't him, or this fault. It was my fault. I could have wise men. I could have stopped him, he said, Hanson. I said, that's just like the Lord in the days of the flesh. There were those who saw him, they listened to him, as he talked, they admired him, Yes, and they brushed shoulders with him. He undoubtedly touched him. But there was one woman in that crowd that met him, not head-on because she was timid. She just touched her head on this guy. And what? You were not at him when entered into her. And she received the sinner's name. And Job says, Requite now thyself with him. And he looked at him. Friends, you've heard the Lord's word. You've heard him strung about him. And like you've admired the Lord. And the Lord, yes, he was son of God, from a man who died in the cross. He's now in heaven. He's put all that upon you. Maybe you've been close to him, a kind from the Spirit of God, and the Word of God has reached your heart. You've heard the presence of an unseen personality as he did in, and he did, but you haven't met him. You haven't said, Lord Jesus, I will trust you. I trust you with my soul and guilt. I'm lost and helpless. Thou transmissible. If you ask me tonight, if I have met you, the Lord Christ is the Lord. That's true. Friend, we can't be too sincere. So now, we can't be too sincere about this study and about this presence. People having an experience of personal acquaintance with and their relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. Oh, so many. She's going to know so much. when you get right down to the matter of genuine conversion to Christ. It's a new work. They seem to be at a loss. They don't know how to answer when you ask them, are you safe. You don't realize sometimes what those two words, a few words mean. As a man has a big business over in Cordill, And the first time I met this man, we were having a meeting in Marietta, as you know, about six or seven years ago, went up there for shoes. And I didn't know this until I was told that the other day, the Mr. Brown. And he happened to be in the Bradshaw Bay when Mr. Heinz was there. And so was he left. He had to make this a rock, and I don't mean it to draw any attention himself. He says, Brother Wilson, the word coming to you today just to see you. And after he left, God said to me, he says, you know, Lester, he told me, and he's a gray-haired man, he told me one day, he says, you know, the first preacher who ever asked me if I were saved was Lester. And he says, when he asked me that question, he put me on the spot. God said you ought to hear him pray for him. He really knows the Lord. Just because we asked him out of love to his soul, are you saved? Are you born again? Unlike the little laddy, only about failure at that age he got saved. Finally he got saved. He grabbed his Bible and he took off. I'm going to see everybody saved on this. You know how enthusiastic when he pondered. And so he made for an old lady that used to live down the street and often on the grander Rocky in her chair and he went up to her. He said, ma'am, are you safe? He said, yes. Are you sure? Yes. Are you really pulling again? Yes. How do you know? He was quite tickled over the little top. Like that little fella could drop you some of that. Finally she saw us and said, she said, Laddie, search me well. It's for eternity. And I don't want to make a mistake. Search me well. It's for eternity. I'm not here for anything. You know, a person who's saved, never mind being absent. You see? God tells us to be ready to give an answer to every man that asks of us a reading of the hope that is the same. And you can only be a true witness with Christ, then you know Christ in your own heart as a living force, a living shame, living a God's right hand as to God, but living in your heart by the Spirit. Do you know that? The final thing, or not the final, but a wonderful thing, the missionaries matter. That's what actually the missionaries matter. Witnesses from Jerusalem to the uttermost part of the earth. There's the mission. And by the way, Brother Jim Miller here has got a project going for the Sunday He's got this area out around here, a map out in the section. It's not a map of the world. It's not a map of the United States or Georgia. It's just a map covering about possibly a couple of square miles. And we'd like to see that area covered. Not to go out and get stoned or put in prison like the early Christians were. But just to knock at doors and ask, have you any children in this home? Any children with that? Yes. Do they go to Sunday school? No. Would you like them to go? Well, I guess so. Well, we'd like to have them. Would you mind giving us their names and try to get them to come to the chapter? To the end that we might give them the gospel. If you want to be a missionary, is your campus, not in Africa, but right around the Albany Gospel Chapel. And if you want to be a missionary, you get in touch, a home missionary. If you've got the gym, they'll equate you with the program. And there's no reason why you can't have every Sunday school room running over here at the chapel. That's what Christians mean, business, and go to work. The other day, looking through an album I had, when I went up north, I had a picture of Mel Everhart. She and her husband were saving Greensboro, who went there about thirty years ago. Her husband's a body. Nothing against flowers. But anyway, her husband's a body. You know Mel Everhart was given a room. She was given eight children, girls between eight and ten. Within six months she had thirty-six. Now, too many for one teacher. She's going to take away two-thirds, maybe three of them, and reduce it down to ten. Oh, she squawked and hollered. Oh, that's what she said. You know, in six months you have it back up.
