That is an upside of the apple because it does. Jerry, did you chat with um Mauise I like about about maybe not doing the you know teaching per se but to just talk with them share their heart? You've got freezing. Yeah, but I mean it might be good for you to bring little connection. Are you gonna do that when you open up and t and talk? Because I think that'd be better for right now, don't you? For this morning? Or just gonna share it.

I know, but what I'm saying is did you talk to him about the format? That would be better coming from you than me. Well it I don't you think? But uh what did they put up I know it's Yeah, what whatever flow that's there is fine. That was regarding that. Yeah, but did he did you talk to him about it? Yeah. Don't you think it's better than you see how they're doing that?

What's the booth? So we're gonna start off trying to see how it works. Yeah, let's see if it works. Isn't doesn't that last green light supposed to turn on a run? Oh it's not. The receiver says T on it, right? You've already got the receiver, the transmitter hooked up. Yeah, sorry, it's all hooked.

Yeah, receivers have an R and the transmitter has a P. This might be hard. Wanna try that, but okay. Comment passer ça en français? Merci. C'est maintenant avec le disque. Moi, je n'ai pas le channel de conserveur. Je pense que chacun occupe un canard.

J'ai l'impression que chacun occupe un canard. Parce que le 2 pour moi il est occupé là. Ah ok. Alors il faut changer. Non non mais je ne sais pas si tu vois. Peut-être que tu arrives, mais moi j'essaie de monter là, je change de vie. Le canage, 4, 5. Et là, j'ai plus que 4 et 5.

6. I do so long. I wouldn't. It's about four months, it's enough. I'm interested? That's what I passed to. I'm so glad this thing is that's recording also, right? I hadn't turned the plot.

That's for that. Translator. I'm sorry? That's for the translator. That's for that. That's the mic to get into that. This is the plot. Oh, that's the microphone.

That's the mic, yes. Okay. Got it. Yeah, I have to explain. I haven't looked at the windows. Jeaniv, is it working? Come on. Is it working?

No. Might so not so. You might have to just talk more. I think that takes a little while to turn red. Once that turned red, it's supposed to work. It's designed to just kind of it's gotta pick you up while you're talking. I think you probably need to leave it in there, but it's just gotta take some time. Is this working?

Takes a little bit of time to remember it took a a minute or two to get going. I don't know what else we need to do with it. I think unplugging it probably didn't help it. I suggested that but I don't mind. I think it might just take a little while. You gotta just keep talking. So it's working now? It is working.

Okay, perfect. It probably just takes a minute to do it. What channel does it say, Joni? Channel one. I don't hear you. Channel one. Oh there we go. There it went.

It's working now. Our lazy hears it. Can you hear me now? Bonjour. Set semaine. Shock uh uh and uh from I see seigneur so uh Moïse can you are you gonna get this started and then we'll pray? No no you understand Okay, you need to it probably will drop out a little bit if there's a pause. It probably because it's a delay, it probably will drop.

Yeah. Okay. And it'll pick up after we start talking. Wait. There? Leah? Are you good? Can you hear?

Mois probably needs to have one in so you know if it's accurate. If it's translating accurately. Because it might be speaking French, but who knows what it's actually saying. But actually, actually, the men who developed this system have a list of all the bad words, the vulgar words, and they have eliminated that. We had a little problem before that the translation was speaking very bad words. But they it's able through AI to make a list. And to eliminate those words. So it should be a good translation.

And as technology develops, it will get better and better. We use this system at our local church in the USA. So we have maybe sometimes 20 people in our congregation listening to the preaching, the message, with this machine. And it has improved. Spanish has worked better than French, but the French is improving more and more. And the good thing is. We've eliminated all of the cuss words, the bad words. Okay.

So you will not be hearing vulgar words this morning, I pray. Hopefully. If you if you hear a vulgar word, Jerry said it, not me. You can say it's a slight delay. It's a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little on, then they'll start laughing and you're like, I didn't say something funny. Well that's okay. It's still amazing to be able to do it. It's uncorrible, aren't we?

Wonderful. I don't know if I can do this though. I'm too distracted. Well let's just try and see how it goes. If it's not comfortable or if it's more of a annoying than it is beneficial, then we don't we don't have to do it. We don't have to do it. I think if you can be aware, just s slow down a tiny bit and just clarify your words. It seems to help a lot more.

You're so good at that, Jerry. When you would have when you were our age, you would have done It could just be quite view, I guess. No. Okay. Want me to start? Well, let's just take a moment and pray together. Father, we love you. We worship you.

Thank you for the significance of this time together. I pray over each person that is connected. With us this week. Those coming from Clamar and other places from Beck and Boulogne, Calais, Dunkerque, Saint Omer, all the different places, Lord. I pray that they come with prepared hearts. They come expecting to hear from you. They come to build relationships. And I pray, Father, that you give them, each of them, the courage.

To open their hearts, to share. Let this be a safe place for them, Lord. A safe place where they feel free, they feel liberty to share their hearts, their strengths, their struggles, their victories, their difficulties. Lord, I pray. Every heart will be so deeply touched by you this week that it ever plants a seed of transformation in their lives in their way of thinking. Lord help them to have divine courage to embrace whatever change it is that you desire to bring into their lives. Whatever change or adjustment that needs to be brought into their local churches. Lord, may the Spirit of grace minister to them and give them wisdom and strength and encouragement.

May the passion of their hearts cry out to you, Lord, I want to hear you. Lord, I want to grow in you. Lord, your will be done. And my life and my family and our local church. Help them to face every adversity by your grace, Lord. Minister to each one of them that is a part of these sessions this week. Father, I pray for them to be strengthened, to be encouraged, to feel loved. To know that they're never alone.

I pray for them to have a revelation of what it means to be a son and a daughter, not just in their individual lives, but in every aspect of ministry as well. Thank you, Lord, for this time that Jonathan and Ron and I and Moise. We'll be able to be the vessels that you can truly flow through. Help us to be sensitive to you, Holy Spirit, to allow you to do what you want to do, to allow you to emphasize what you want to emphasize. May we share and minister by a spirit of revelation and clarity. What you would desire to sow and plant into our lives this week. We give you the glory, we give you the honor, and we give you the praise, Lord. Let's take a moment together and just pray in the spirit together.

I pray, Lord, this morning you would fill us with the knowledge with all spiritual wisdom, spiritual understanding Possibly quoting Colossians 1:9. Natural wisdom and natural understanding. Pray this morning for speaking French. Come on, somebody.

Listen to it Jerry and see if it works out. See if it works well. You might know. It should just work while we're talking like this. We should be able to hear it. And it should stay pretty close to me. I think he said there was about an eight second delay, but it shouldn't be a long delay. Can you hear it pretty well?

Rochelle, check this. Hello Rochelle. We're checking out some new technology. It's AI, but we want to make sure that it works well. You should be able to hear me in French while I'm speaking in English. So we're trying to see if it works and functions. Maybe we could have a good conversation when we understand each other. Are you hearing it in French?

Does it make sense? That's pretty neat, isn't it? AI. Some guys in the church made this box. You can use it with the internet or without. And it's designed to one person to talk, and then we can have 15 transformers. Ron and I are gonna put our AirPods in so that we can understand you talking in French. I love technology.

Hopefully it makes sense. It's good? Yeah. It's a little delayed, but it's Yeah, I knew it was like a few seconds delayed, he said. That's incredible, isn't it? Wow. The Spanish translation that we have live in service is pretty like we use it every week, so it's pretty, it's gotten pretty adept. The French they're still working on, but he said it's pretty good.

But they're trying to get this box. Say hello to Shanghiv. Hello, Jean-Yves. So wonderful to be with you, my brother. They developed this box to work without the internet. So you can go to places like this and it can do a ton of languages. One person can talk, people can put the transmitters on and listen to them in their own language. I think there's a woman translating for me though.

Is it? I think it's a lady. Yeah. How is it working, Johnny? Were you able to understand very talking about? A lot of languages. Yeah, that's gonna be hard. Yeah, that's what you've got to really.

But maybe they can at least get the gist. You comprom and we do have Moïse here in case it says something crazy. It is moins bon que Moïse. Well it's collaborating a lot of different people. Moise and he's better. Better, yeah. I'm sure. The more that you talk on this the better it gets.

Okay, you want to sit in front of John? We've got both. And the box also records. I think it recorded both. I see pressing button. When we get home, he'll have to upload it and stupid. You know. Figure it out.

And then it's an app on the phone where you get the title. Now I will tell you that bakery in uh West Palm Beach Bonnie. Oh man, that French guy with that with that pistachio versus pistache. Oh god. And he was French. That guy was a French chef. En France. Chef.

Che Chef Franca. Chef Francet. En Florida Florida Florida. Hey. We got a little contraction we're gonna try now. I met this guy. This is talking English and people can hear in French. Right and that'll take some weight off of you to translate in these conversations.

Hello! Hello, hello. Bonjour. Sabah. Good to see you, Sabah. My young my uh my wife was uh my young wife. Can you say bonjour? Bonjour.

Uh here. Oh check check check. Right, can you tell you about the lights? Like it takes a minute for the lights to come off or something. Check Check Check. Okay, where is the pussy of there? He said this this is it's right here, he said it's gonna blink because you're not but it's fine. What is this right here?

And uh sweet. That's what I'm asking. I don't remember I I I prefer the real thing. So the one. I feel like you something. Oh the tone of the thing. That's ready to go. Yeah, see it?

Speaker 3, 4. See it. Check one. Well I don't see anything happening there. Oh là là. Okay. Pas de café, I'll print to one. Okay.

That's it. So we have an eglise de Calais, responsible. for reflections, cinq an plus. Don't this so far on the prier, to reflect for a point. Pardon. They don't need to hear us, right? It's coming back. It's hard to think that way. It is.

Sorry. No, it's okay. I'd be the same way. So is it translating English to you? Repeating in French what he's saying. I think it works good like if it's just one person talking. Yeah. Like a like a lecture or a sermon.

Let's just use Moïse. I wonder what's going on with it. Well the Lord heard it. Did you hear his prayer? No. Okay. Where you just translate, can you? Let me know because I won't I don't know.

Yeah. Because that was a trying this out, so if it doesn't work, we're not we won't be upset. And he said to welcome off. Is it working? No. Is it working? No. So it's kinda intermittent.

No. In fact, that this won't work eventually, but right now the one he made. No. Let's just go with Mois. Okay, we will use Mois. We were trying to help you wanting you to rest. Uh Jonathan and Ron go out this week. They're going to only with you.

I I just want to mention now that we might the week. I just want to talk for just a second heart is. Because as we know we are God's creation. It takes a very long, long moment. It takes a long moment. Glenn was sharing with us a couple of years ago. We have two groups basically. We have local church, but we have two congregations that make up cities.

And then we have the group of churches. Glenn came to call that at the time. He came in December of 1981. He had been there since 1981. After he had been there, he was praying one day. The Lord gave him a vision. This uh large fall, almost like Niagara Falls. And there were Seven rocks over the waterfall and settled at the bottom.

And the water kept coming. Still how good that it is just praise to the Lord. Oh how great. He's a name above all from the rising of the morning sun to the setting of the same. Oh, how good that it is to sing praise, how good it is. Mountains will lift their soul Even the rocks cry The Creation stands in all The One who was and the one who is The One Wigns Forever We remember this We remember this, oh how good that it is to sing praise to the Lord. Oh, how great is the name above all from the rising of the morning sun to the setting of the same. Oh, how good.

Then it is to sing pay. How good it is! How good it is! Welcome DLC family to today's worship service. We bless all of the moms today. And as we're lifting up our moms, we're also gonna lift up the name of the Lord. Because he's so good and he's so worthy of our praise. How many of you believe he's worthy today?

Oh how good that it is to sing praise to the Lord. Oh how great is the name above all days from the rising of the morning sun to the setting of the same. And every breath within our lungs. Oh how good that it is to sing brave oh how good that it is to sing brave how good it is how good how good how good it is how good how good how good it is Lord, we just lift our voices to you, Lord. You are just worthy, worthy, worthy. Thank you so much. It's not my worship that makes you worthy, God, you are always good. With or without my song, you're still holy.

God, you are always good. And I can't help hallelujah. I've got to let it out. You've never needed my voice to cry holy still I get to say you're good. With my whole heart, sing all this, sing hallelujah.
