Minister until I Die and After, the Easy Way

As I get older, my energy level is shrinking. My gas tank is shrinking. Sometimes, I take a nap after just thinking about doing something. I definitely sleep much more than I used to. I have always wanted to do ministry right up to the day I died, so I have been praying and asking God for some easy ways to do ministry. That is kind of a funny prayer request, and does seem on the lazy side. A couple of days ago, I received an email from a missionary friend of mine. He had gone through my leadership class several years ago and had been using the material to disciple Christians where he was ministering. He had told me that one of his goals was to translate the material into the language of the people he was working with. One of my goals this year was to rewrite and improve all of my leadership class lessons I have been teaching for the last 45 years, teach them in the Wednesday night service we have at JBC, and have a good quality video recording done for each lesson. Once we had that done, I could give the videos and lessons to any church that wanted to use it. A number of Pastors have already started using the videos on YouTube. My missionary friend took the videos and, using AI, translated the entire thing into the language of his country. He sent me a video of me teaching my leadership class lesson in a different language. The voice was my voice, but the words were definitely not my words. It even had my mouth and lips synced with the words. It was amazing to watch myself teaching in a language that I had no clue how to speak a single word in. As I watched it, I wondered how many people in this country would hear my leadership classes and have their lives changed by it. I thought, thank You Lord, it doesn’t much easier than this.

    Not quite the Pentecost experience, but getting closer with the AI technology. Stick around long enough and you’ll be able to do it “live” 🙂

    HI Dee,

    Well I tried to leave a comment but it would let me. I am so excited to read this new way that God is using you. If there is away for me to receive your Leadership class by a lnk or getting a copy of what you recently recorded I would greatly appreciate it. I am currently attending Grace Bible Fellowship in Tangent and would love to share it with the men there.

    In His Grip,
