:30:15
We're living in a brave new world.
We're competing against tabloids...
:30:18
... rappers, music videos,
basketball players, Internet.
:30:21
People are seeking guidance
from everywhere outside the church.
:30:25
Now, if we don't step up our game,
we're gonna get left behind.
:30:28
We can't preach prosperity
and blessing...
:30:30
...when we ain't looking the part.
That's not gonna fly.
:30:36
I'm sorry, I didn't know
you were meeting.
:30:38
- Come in, have a seat.
- I'll come back.
:30:39
- No, no, no.
- You sure?
:30:41
We all like family here.
:30:43
You were saying, Frank?
:30:46
We done made our repairs.
The roof, plumbing, the transformer.
:30:51
You know, I believe in maintenance,
but this here is ridiculous.
:30:54
Now, we need a new church.
A new church.
:30:57
- But we've been here for years.
- A new facility would be nice.
:31:00
- Yeah.
- The board of churches...
:31:02
...has already denied us funds
to do repairs in this church.
:31:06
What makes you think
they gonna give us money...
:31:08
...to build a new church, Frank?
:31:11
Besides, this church right here
has been a historical pillar...
:31:15
...of strength in this community
for as long as I can remember.
:31:19
I'm sorry, Bishop Taylor, but you see.
It's like the Lord himself saying:
:31:23
"If y'all won't erect
a brand-new church...
:31:25
...I'm gonna take this one down."
:31:32
So, what do you propose, Frank?
:31:35
Minister Hunter here could get us
a great low-interest loan, right?
:31:39
But we gonna need
the down payment...
:31:42
- And how much?
...in a few weeks.
:31:45
About 150,000.
:31:49
Assuming that
this thing is feasible...
:31:51
...how soon can we come up
with a down payment?
:31:53
- The repairs have depleted all of our...
- I got an idea. Sorry.
:31:58
Why don't we just ask David
to cover the shortfall.
