(Ronilson) Evangelist!

0:00:18.917,0:00:20.502
(Group) I am!

0:00:20.502,0:00:22.287
(Ronilson) Share!

(Group) I'll go!

(Ronilson) Praise God!

(Group) Amen!

0:00:28.247,0:00:33.828
(Ronilson) I was not born into[br]a Christian home.

0:00:34.432,0:00:40.112
and in 2005

0:00:40.634,0:00:44.351
Jesus reached me

0:00:44.351,0:00:51.271
and in April I was baptized.

0:00:51.689,0:00:58.693
At that point in time I was illiterate.

0:00:58.693,0:01:02.943
I was already giving studies

0:01:03.278,0:01:06.678
without knowing how to read

0:01:06.860,0:01:11.908
and in this period of my life

0:01:12.288,0:01:20.688
I felt called by God to the ministry

0:01:21.356,0:01:30.600
and I started receiving basic education.

0:01:30.948,0:01:38.466
But during this period I was receiving

0:01:38.466,0:01:44.514
both elementary and high school education

0:01:44.958,0:01:54.850
and I already gave evangelistic studies,

0:01:54.850,0:01:57.723
Bible studies,

0:01:57.723,0:02:04.749
as requested here in Pará.

0:02:04.989,0:02:16.969
Then, in 2013, I took the first test.

0:02:17.549,0:02:20.099
I failed!

0:02:20.363,0:02:25.603
In 2014, I tried again.

0:02:25.850,0:02:28.330
I failed!

0:02:28.330,0:02:33.900
2015, I failed!

0:02:33.900,0:02:41.090
2016, I also failed!

0:02:42.001,0:02:46.191
And I gave up on the dream.

0:02:46.684,0:02:54.128
Many people, friends, family,

0:02:54.128,0:03:00.544
my closest brother, told me,

0:03:00.544,0:03:08.209
"Ronilson, you will never be able

0:03:08.209,0:03:12.069
to take theology."

0:03:17.914,0:03:23.959
Only God, when He has a plan,

0:03:24.591,0:03:27.691
He will do everything

0:03:27.691,0:03:31.471
to accomplish this plan.

0:03:31.901,0:03:43.832
In 2018, the Lord called me again,

0:03:44.404,0:03:47.245
and I looked up to the sky

0:03:47.245,0:03:52.703
and I said, "Lord, I love it here.

0:03:53.245,0:03:58.488
I don't see myself doing anything else.

0:03:59.202,0:04:04.902
I'm going to take the test again[br]next year."

0:04:05.639,0:04:13.147
And in 2018, we did the test,

0:04:13.838,0:04:20.953
and by a miracle, God brought me here.

0:04:21.377,0:04:25.528
During these three years

0:04:25.528,0:04:29.708
and the fourth that has just begun,

0:04:30.404,0:04:36.022
God has been directing my life

0:04:36.631,0:04:43.408
and has supplied my needs

0:04:43.408,0:04:49.178
and has kept me here on course.

0:04:50.040,0:04:55.510
This year of 2022

0:04:56.787,0:05:03.376
is a very singular and special year

0:05:03.376,0:05:10.346
because it's my graduation year.

0:05:10.686,0:05:18.526
After 17 years of dreaming,

0:05:19.275,0:05:22.435
the dream of God

0:05:23.050,0:05:26.739
is right at the door.

0:05:27.308,0:05:34.491
And my desire is to serve the Lord

0:05:36.277,0:05:39.704
wherever He sends me

0:05:40.349,0:05:46.849
and for the rest of my life.

0:05:47.379,0:05:53.111
Me, with all my limitations,

0:05:53.111,0:05:55.981
not able to speak normally

0:05:55.981,0:06:02.649
or physically walk normally,

0:06:03.422,0:06:10.340
but God makes me normal

0:06:10.340,0:06:17.059
for the manifestation of His glory

0:06:17.059,0:06:18.769
in my life.

0:06:18.895,0:06:24.973
May God bless you, and He has a dream,

0:06:24.973,0:06:28.130
a plan for you.

0:06:28.130,0:06:33.062
Just like He is using me

0:06:33.296,0:06:35.536
and is going to use me

0:06:35.536,0:06:41.006
as an instrument of salvation,

0:06:41.193,0:06:49.203
He wants to use your life, too.

0:06:49.489,0:06:58.909
You just have to want it and go after it.

0:06:58.909,0:07:02.925
May God bless you!
