  [SPEAKER_01]: Hey, Fred and welcome back to Bible Track Deco's.
• 0:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: Thank you so much for tuning in once again for this week of broadcasts.
• 0:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: I hope you've enjoyed this little peek behind the curtain and just hearing about all that God has done, all that God is doing, all that God will do in the coming days.
• 0:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: On that note, I would love to connect with you.
• 0:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: I would love to hear from you in this modern age with all its advances in technology.
• 0:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: We have probably what?
• 0:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: 3, 4, 5, 8 apps on our phone through which we can message someone, whether it be next door or on the other side of the world.
• 0:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: What required weeks, if not months, in the past, can now be accomplished through a text, an email, a phone call, a video call, in addition with the advent of social media.
• 0:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's allowed people to share and sometimes
• 0:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: scale.
• 0:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know, though, for all of its faults, all of its dangers sometimes, social media does allow for some incredible connections to be forged.
• 1:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: With that being said, I would love to connect with you.
• 1:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: I have begun trying, and I often failing, but trying to do a better job of sharing God's blessings more regularly through social media.
• 1:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: I feel it would be a disservice to the age God has placed us in if I did not attempt to share just a measure of what he has done using the tools of the day.
• 1:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't plan to use social media as a hobby horse or a plan to cuddle others with my opinions.
• 1:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: And my prayer is that God's people are edified through my use of social media.
• 1:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not just going to show this share of pictures of food and all that type of stuff.
• 1:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not opposed to that.
• 2:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: I like looking at good food, but understand that I want to use it for God's glory.
• 2:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: So on that note,
• 2:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: You can find me on most of the major platforms at Micah McCurry and look forward to connecting with you.
• 2:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: Hope God has pleased through all of our interaction.
• 2:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: Sometimes I'll share some things about ministry, sometimes I'll family, sometimes about future events.
• 2:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: But I'm excited about what God has done, what He is doing, what He's going to do.
• 2:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know, if the Lord Terry's is coming, it may be that you and I will need to think ahead.
• 2:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know that there are really any prophecies in the Bible that still need to be fulfilled before Christ could come back.
• 2:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: But I realize that day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years
• 2:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: as a day.
• 2:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think when he comes back it's going to be a surprise no matter what.
• 2:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: There's me no one that predicts it quite properly.
• 3:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: But if he does come back in a hundred years or even 500 years, he is under no obligation to come back on a time scale that satisfies me.
• 3:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: or you.
• 3:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: So we might need to think ahead, and the time to plan is now.
• 3:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: See, at BTI, we're blessed to steward a legacy that is approaching a century in the making.
• 3:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: We understand the need to consider the end from the beginning, because while God's Word and His will are eternal,
• 3:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: our feeble flesh is not.
• 3:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: So many of our partners are forward thinkers, people who live with eternity in the view.
• 3:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: And maybe that sort of mentality describes you or how you want to be.
• 3:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: If so, may I make a suggestion, consider including BTI in your estate planning.
• 4:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: No matter your age, planning how your estate is distributed now, it's just wisdom.
• 4:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: Taking a few moments to plan for what happens after our Lord takes you home to heaven, could make an incredible impact that far outlives any one of us.
• 4:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: Please, though, don't let the idea the concept of a state planning overwhelm you.
• 4:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know, a state gifts allow each of us to reach future generations with the message of Christ, and including BTI in your will, or as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy, bank account, or retirement plan, is straightforward.
• 4:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: Your thoughtful requests are crucial in advancing our mission to spread the gospel.
• 4:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: world wide, ensuring that your legacy has an eternal impact, and while it's common to think that only long time significant donors can leave such legacies we encourage everyone regardless of age or financial status to consider the possibility.
• 5:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: Not only does this type of giving help further the kingdom of God, but can also reduce the estate tax as your beneficiaries might owe.
• 5:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: For those yet to include BTI in your estate plans, we invite you to consider making an impact that lasts beyond a lifetime.
• 5:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: No matter the size,
• 5:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: Every gift contributes significantly to our ministry's sustainability and growth.
• 5:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: Please, please feel free to reach out with any questions or to discuss how your gift can be used.
• 5:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: Your support makes a profound difference and we are here to help you plan your legacy.
• 5:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: Should you desire to include BTI's mission in your state,
• 5:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: It could be a simplest, specifying, or the BTI's full legal name Bible tracks incorporated our location, our tax ID number, all those things, and the nature of your gift.
• 6:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: We encourage you to consider engaging in a state planning attorney.
• 6:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: If you have any further questions, but please feel free to reach out to us at any time.
• 6:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: Thank you.
• 6:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: Thank you.
• 6:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: Thank you for considering such a meaningful way to contribute to the Word of God.
• 6:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: to all the world.
• 6:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: Now we can look down at the future.
• 6:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: We can look down the road to the future.
• 6:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: You can see what God has done and we can pause it.
• 6:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: We can extrapolate out that maybe he'll do great things in the future.
• 6:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: I believe he will.
• 6:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: I believe he wants to use BTI to do those things.
• 6:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: With that thought in mind in the present be careful of this as well.
• 6:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: If you give through the mail Please don't forget our new mailing address.
• 6:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: I say new it's been a few years that we've set up P.O.
• 6:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: Box 1 3 0 in Dwight, Illinois 6 0 4 2 0 as our primary USPS mailbox for the ministry
• 7:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: In the meantime, we kept our old mailbox just in case any letters are sent there, but in recent days, the stream of letters to our old address in Bloomington has dwindled to almost nothing, and it costs hundreds of dollars each year to keep it open.
• 7:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: So we have officially closed it now, so please don't send mail to Bloomington Illinois, send it to PO Box 130 Dwight Illinois.
• 7:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: 6-0-4-2-0.
• 7:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: If you have old envelopes with the old PO box, please discard them immediately so that they do not get used by accident.

  [SPEAKER_01]: giving towards our ministry we want to connect with you.

• 8:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: Say thank you.
• 8:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: There is so much that we are excited about doing in future here at BTI.
• 8:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: And yet, except for the grace of God,
• 8:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: and the giving of God's people, it would be nigh impossible.
• 8:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's very rare, weeks, some of us months go by, that I'll talk about, that I'll neglect to talk about money or giving towards the ministry.
• 9:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's rare that I will do so.
• 9:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: And this happens to be one of those times.
• 9:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: Of course, you just heard me talk for a few moments about giving after your lifetime through requests through including BTI and your will.
• 9:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: But for those of you that give right here right now, that support our ministry faithfully.
• 9:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: Maybe you support to prayer, maybe support through using our tracks.
• 9:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: Thank you.
• 9:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: But let me pause and say, to those of you that give financially, so you give sacrophicially, to allow our ministry to go for it.
