Speaker 5 (10:50):
Good morning, there's a big show on the radio and
now a few minutes with Marvin Webster.
Speaker 9 (10:57):
Yo, what's up. How you'all doing.
Speaker 16 (10:59):
Hey, man, we got an email at work the other day.
We're having costume day on Halloween again. Everybody's supposed to
come to work dressed up in a costume. May I
just say please? I'm a grown ass man. A grown
ass man ain't got no business dressing up for Halloween. Okay,
that's for kids, of course. I got a kind of
a mixed record when it comes to Halloween costumes over
(11:21):
the years. You know, back in the day, Halloween was easy.
Mam gona take you to the kmart. You get one
of them ready made costumes in a box. You know,
some cheap ass Chinese looking jumpsuit thing with a string
in the back to tie around your neck and a
mask with a rubber band to hold it on your head.
Speaker 9 (11:37):
You remember that.
Speaker 16 (11:38):
So one year Mama bought me a Superman costume. It
had the suit, had a little cape, and it had
a Superman mask. Didn't look a whole lot like Superman though,
looked more like one of the guys on the Pep
Boys signed End of the night, these two mean dudes
from down the block rolled up on me, whooped my
ass and took all my candy over something So next year,
(12:02):
Mama bought me the six million dollar Man suit that
was my favorite TV show. I think it had the
same mask as the Superman costume, but his hair was
brown instead of blue. Anyway, end of the night, sure enough,
seen two dudes from last year whooped my ass and
took all my candy with Well. The next day, my
(12:22):
uncle Cedric pulled me to the side and said, boy,
let me tell you something. If you ever want to
get in with some candy in this neighborhood, you need
to quit going out for Halloween in a white boy mask, Okay,
which I thought was a good point. So next year
I made my own costume, you know, something a little
more relevant to the black experience. I went as Jimmy
JJ Walker from Good Time. I already had the hat.
(12:45):
I just threw dining on Mike. Then after the Trick
or Treat party.
Speaker 9 (12:48):
And I was good to go out.
Speaker 16 (12:49):
But after that I kind of aged out of Halloween
for a while. Then I got a job and I
started dating this smoking hot little girl at the place
I worked at.
Speaker 9 (12:58):
She was from a real big Fani.
Speaker 16 (13:00):
Day before Halloween, she goes, get your costume red at baby,
you and Me's taking all the little nieces and nephews
out for trick or treat tomorrow night. See that ought
to tell you how hot this girl was. I'm taking
a bunch of little kids out for tricker treat and
they ain't even mine. So I said, well, okay, I'll go,
but I ain't really got no costume. She said, oh,
I don't worry about it. Come on over to mama's house.
(13:22):
We'll make you up one from scratch. Well this was
when Purple Rain had just come out, so Prince was
pretty hot back then. And she went in the closet
and pulled out this purple velvet jacket that her mama
used to wear the church on Sunday, and then a
little white blouse with a little ruffle thing on the neck,
and she put some Jerry Curle in my hair. Next
(13:43):
thing you know, I was Prince from Papa Rain. Okay,
I was more like Dave Chappelle, Prince from the Charlie
Murphy basketball. You know, a guy do what he gotta do.
I knew it was bad when the girl broke up
with me the day after Halloween and didn't even ask
me for the clothes. So about that time, my mama
started trying to get me to go back to church
(14:05):
as Mama will do. She brought me the shop looking
jet black two piece suit. It was fine. So for
costume day at work, I started wearing a black suit
with one of Mama's church whigs. I went as Samuel
Jackson from pulp Fiction. I had a little trouble with
that one too. I walked in the door, I said,
(14:25):
you know, the path of the righteous man is beset
on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and
the tyranny of evil men. All the white dudes in
the office said what. I said, what?
Speaker 4 (14:38):
What?
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Ain't no country I ever heard of?
Speaker 16 (14:40):
Say what again? I dare you, I double dare you?
Say what one more time? Then they all went, oh yeah,
men in black.
Speaker 9 (14:47):
I got it.
Speaker 16 (14:49):
Then a couple of years ago, Prince died and for
some reason, I guess I was going down memory lane.
I tried to do the purple rain thing for Halloween again.
So I dressed up, went into work in the purple
jacket and the wig. One of the white dudes goes, hey,
I know you Rick James, bitch, And that's when I
quit dressing up for costume day altogether. Now I just
(15:13):
go to work in the street clothes, and when somebody
rolls up and says who you supposed to be? I
just go what's in your wallet? Y'all'll think about it.
I'm glad about.

Speaker 12 (24:57):
Thank you, sir.
Speaker 5 (25:04):
Bottom of the hour, top of you n News right
on the other side, I remembering Rayford. I'm glad we
got got into this here in our last year.
Speaker 7 (25:13):
Show Robert d Rayferd kicking off the John Boy and
(25:44):
Billy Show. And here's something that was sent in by
a listener. And I'll tell you what it does. It
shows how relative things are relative in time. I can
tell things that happened to me way back yonder seventy
years ago or so on. Some people say, hey, well
that's so old fashioned. Well it's relative. And for instance,
(26:05):
here here's something from us thirty somethings, something sent in
by this thirty something crowd. And Mark Bunch, one of them, says,
when I was a kid, adults used to bore me
to tears with their tedious diatribes about how hard things
were when they were growing up, walking twenty five miles
to school uphill both.
Speaker 9 (26:24):
Ways, YadA da, YadA da.
Speaker 7 (26:26):
And I remember promising myself that when I grew up,
there was no way I was going to lay a
bunch of stuff like that on kids about how hard.
Speaker 9 (26:33):
I had it and how easy they got it.
Speaker 7 (26:35):
But now now that that age, the ripe old age
of thirty, I can't help but look around and notice
the youth of today you got it easy. When I
was a kid, we didn't have the Internet. If we
wanted to know something, we had to go to the
library and look it up ourselves and the card catalog.
These days go to the library, can't even find a
card catalog. There was no email. We had to actually
(26:57):
write somebody a letter with a pen or pencil. You
had to walk all across the street and put it
in the mailbox, and it might take a week to
get there. There were no MP thre's and napsters. You
wanted to steal music, you had to hitchhike to the
record store and maybe steal it yourself, certainly pay for it.
Speaker 16 (27:15):
Oh me.
Speaker 7 (27:17):
We didn't have a fancy stuff like call waiting. If
you were on the phone, somebody else call, they got
a busy signal.
Speaker 9 (27:23):
That's it.
Speaker 7 (27:24):
And we didn't have the fancy caller ID boxes either either.
When the phone rang, you had no idea who it was.
It could be your school, your mom, your boss, your
drug dealer, or collection agents.
Speaker 9 (27:34):
You just didn't know.
Speaker 7 (27:36):
You had to pick it up and take your chances. Mister,
I sure agree with that. Yes, that's real sneaky telephone rings.
You look at it and see who's calling. You don't
want to answer it. You don't too sneaky.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
Sure.
Speaker 7 (27:48):
We had cable television back then. It was only like
fifteen channels and there was no on screen menu, no
remote control. You had to use a little book called
a TV Guide and find out what was on, and
when it came to channels surfing, you had to get
off your butt and walk over to the TV to
change the channel. That's exactly what I'm talking about. You
(28:09):
kids today have got it too easy. You're spoiled. You
guys wouldn't have lasted five minutes back in nineteen eighty.
Speaker 9 (28:16):
You see there, it's relative.
Speaker 7 (28:18):
Older people get the more they relate to things from
their childhood, and people of an older late age say, oh,
well it was like this really, And people younger say,
I don't know what y'all are talking about.
Speaker 9 (28:28):
You bore me with it, but you'll get there too.
Who says that? I say that? Robert d Rayfer John
Boy and Billy Show, Good morning.
Speaker 5 (29:01):
That's a big show on the radio for your Friday.
October the twenty fourth is a brand new script on
Friday mornings, getting in the playhouse.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
So let's do it action.
Speaker 6 (29:15):
Hello friends, your old pal Burn Fern here with another
placenta popping edition of John Boy and Billy Playhouse. Today's
episode the Noon Litter. As our story opens, an elderly
woman is waiting for a visit from the old country vet.
Speaker 8 (29:31):
Gladys, it's the dangiest thing I ever did say. Ten
kittens in one litter. Well, of course they're cute, adorable even,
but that that's not the point. Fluffy's not been out
of the house in a year. This is this is
some sort of miracle of something. I'm waiting for old
Doc Murphy to show up. Oh, I reckon, that's him now,
I'll talk to you later, Gladys.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Doc is that you sure is? Miss Green?
Speaker 6 (29:57):
I come over as soon as I could. I had
to be a midwife for Tom Tuttle's cow, Henrietta.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
What a mess.
Speaker 6 (30:04):
I was planning on getting new shoes anyhow, So what's
going on here? You said it was some sort of miracle.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Well, ain't sure, must be looking on her.
Speaker 6 (30:15):
Well look at that, Miss Beulah had kittens, one, two, three,
ten of them.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
That's pretty impressive. Well done, Beulah. But while that it's
a pretty good sized litter, it's hardly a miracle.
Speaker 8 (30:29):
Well that's cause you don't know the details.
Speaker 6 (30:32):
Now, the mcal Hennys dog Fergie had eighteen puppies. Now
that was a miracle. But see Tucker Prescott's hen Noogie
laid twenty five eggs in one sitting.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
That was America. But this might be different.
Speaker 6 (30:44):
Right, there was a time Bert Macklin's hog Denise gave
birth to one piglet.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
How is that a miracle? It weighed one hundred and
two pounds. Old Gal walks bow legged to this day.
Speaker 8 (30:55):
What an interesting life you leave. But I'm trying to
tell you this is different. Tell I don't know how
miss Bulah got pregnant.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Well, here is a comic book that I give to
the kids to explain that.
Speaker 8 (31:07):
No, no, I know the mechanics of it. It's just
that Beulah is an indoor cat, always has been. I
have no idea how she could have gotten pregnant.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Now am I seeing things? Or is that a big
old tomcat sitting on the couch.
Speaker 8 (31:23):
Oh that's Garfield. There's no way it could be him.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
How could you be so sure?
Speaker 8 (31:29):
Well, silly, that's Beulah's brothers, son of us.
Speaker 6 (31:41):
We hope you enjoyed John Boy and Billy Playhouse. Tune
in next time when we'll hear Bert Macklin's bow legged hog.
Speaker 2 (31:46):

Speaker 5 (34:19):
So today's special guests is I don't have Randy Riddle

Speaker 3 (34:25):
Let me give it a shot. Alex Senjemanah, How.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Did I do?
Speaker 3 (34:29):
Alex?
Speaker 2 (34:30):
All right?
Speaker 3 (34:31):
Well great, thank you so much.
Speaker 5 (34:34):
Well welcome Alex. Now let me tell our listeners about you.
Growing up in the midst of an unstable Rwandan government,
Alex experience firsthand the travesties of his nation's genocide, the
height of tribal unrest. The genocide claimed the lives of
his caregivers. Fleeing for his life, Alex escaped gunman and
(34:55):
eventually ended up in an orphanage that was his home
for the next several years. It was there where Alex
received a shoebox from Operation Christmas Child one year after
arriving at the orphanage. Remembers being so excited to have
a gift to call his own. The shoebox gift sowed
seeds of hope and love that he desperately needed. He
realized that God had a specific plan for his life.
(35:18):
Alex now serves with Operation Christmas Child, sharing his story
all around the world. Tickled the Heavy this morning on
the Big Show. Good morning again, Alex.
Speaker 18 (35:28):
Good morning. Thank you so much for having me. Such
a joy to be back again.
Speaker 5 (35:32):
Good to have you again, Alex. That's awesome body. So
we understand you got the shoebox gift while you were
in that orphanage. So tell us a little bit what
your life was like as a child. Alex.
Speaker 6 (35:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 18 (35:45):
Yeah, when I was about six years old, that's when
the tribal unrest was that its greatest in the country
of Rwanda, and that tribal unrest was the result of
hatred had been in creating people's lives. And when that
genocide started on April sixth, my grandmother and one of
my uncles were both killed. So me and my brother
(36:06):
and my sister we started to run from family to family.
But along the way God was doing so many miracles
to protect us. And I remember as a little boy
just wandering and so scared, and as we ran, there
were so many miracles. For example, when man's weapons didn't
work when they went to pull the trigger, and from
the time when I would fall and fall down to
(36:28):
the ground and a bullet would miss my head. So
along the way, God was in so many miracles to
protect me. But it was when a time when I
had lost hope and when I had lost almost everyone
in my family because of that genocide. I was putting
that orphanage. And this is when Samaritans Purse responded to
what was happening in the country of Rwanda. It ran
in July when the genocide ended, and to kind of
(36:51):
paint a picture, that genocide took more than a million
lives and over four thousand orphans were less in the country.
Speaker 12 (36:58):
Wow, it's a difficult.
Speaker 18 (37:00):
Time for everyone. And so I get into this orphanage
and Samaritans Suppos responded with using their word Medicalmmission Team.
And then a year later, in nineteen ninety five, that's
when they brought operation in Christmas shoeboxes to our orphanage. Yeah,
and guys, that's when I got to receive a gift
for the very first time in my life. And it
was such a powerful day I'll never forget.
Speaker 5 (37:21):
And that's that's what we tell people to pack a shoebox.
I mean, you never had a gift before, and we
talk about stuff, you know, just a toothbrush, school suppliers,
just a ball, if you would deflated soccer ball with
a pump, put that in it. I mean, just your experience.
I mean, we can't put ourselves like that in your
(37:45):
position to realize that the way we grew up here.
So and Alexander Shan, you returned to Rwanda to deliver
shoebox gifts to the children at the same orphanage that
you got yours about.
Speaker 18 (37:57):
It, that's correct, Yeah, And I got to receive that
opperation Christmas Child shoe box gifts. I was so excited
that I actually kept the hair comb for the next
three years. And it really planned that seed of the
Gospel of Jesus Christ in my life. And so then
years later I had people who deciphled me, and then
I got adopted in the family in the United States.
(38:19):
So I grew up in high school and then in
Minnesota and I got to pack boxes. And then in
twenty thirteen I went to ruand with the oppression of
Christmas Child and we got to deliver shoe boxes. And
that was a powerful moment when I got to stand
in the same place that I stood at a seven
year old, this time handing out a shoe box gifts.
I'm bringing hope and love of Jesus Christ to children
(38:41):
who are seeing that orphanage. And it was such a
powerful moment I'll never forget. And the children who are
still there needed to be reminded and no matter what
they're going through, also, the God loved them and God cares.
And that is the goal of these shoe boxes because
they are fun to pack, but they're also fun to receive.
Seeing the kids receive them such a special moment.
Speaker 5 (39:01):
And then and then you get this, this these gifts
from people who you do not know, and like you said,
in every shoe box is the gospel of Jesus Christ
to tell his love for you. And you're realizing, wow,
this is just a way that tangible love where you
can get this gift and say why is this happening?
(39:23):
And that's why we say include a photo of you
and your family if you pack a shoebox gift, so
they can, uh, you know when you see that, so
your experience when you open that that that box what
I'm just beyond words, just just for you, Alex going, yeah, yeah, it.
Speaker 18 (39:44):
Was such a special moment and I was reminded I
was not forgotten. And because of that shoebox gift, my
journey of healing continued to happen, even because God send
me people to one that seed of the gospel that
had been planted by that shoebox gift, And it was
through that in my genuine faith, my personal faith continued
to grow. And I remember someone coming to me in
(40:07):
one of my mentors asking me, Alex, what happened. But
if you would sit with a person who has caused
you the most spend in your life, what.
Speaker 10 (40:14):
Would you do?
Speaker 18 (40:15):
And that helped me realize that I was angry and
I was bitter, and so I started to pray, Lord,
help me to heal that actually, one day I can
be able to see the people who caused me pain.
And it was through that mentorship that my face continued
to grow. But all of that goes back that day
when that person typed that shoebox gifts in nineteen ninety four,
and that shoebox gift ended up in my hands in
(40:37):
nineteen ninety five, and it planted that speed, and so
I shared this to encourage someone. You know, the shoeboxes
really do make a difference in the kid's life and
the kids are being romanded that they loved and that's.
Speaker 3 (40:49):
What we say.
Speaker 5 (40:49):
So over two hundred and thirty two million shoe box
gifts have been collected and another like around twelve million.
Well hoping to do. But don't lost in all those numbers.
We say, one box, one kid, and we're talking to
you that had that impact not only for your life
here but for eternity.
Speaker 9 (41:08):
That's awesome.
Speaker 12 (41:09):
That's correct.
Speaker 18 (41:10):
Yeah, that's correct because yeah, this year we have a
goal of packing twelve million shoe boxes and that's twelve
million children we hope to reach with the gospel and
everyone can participate, even on packing a shoe box online.
Speaker 12 (41:22):
That's it.

Good morning, there's a big show on the radio and
now a few minutes with Marvin Webster.
Speaker 9 (10:57):
Yo, what's up. How you'all doing.
Speaker 16 (10:59):
Hey, man, we got an email at work the other day.
We're having costume day on Halloween again. Everybody's supposed to
come to work dressed up in a costume. May I
just say please? I'm a grown ass man. A grown
ass man ain't got no business dressing up for Halloween. Okay,
that's for kids, of course. I got a kind of
a mixed record when it comes to Halloween costumes over
(11:21):
the years. You know, back in the day, Halloween was easy.
Mam gona take you to the kmart. You get one
of them ready made costumes in a box. You know,
some cheap ass Chinese looking jumpsuit thing with a string
in the back to tie around your neck and a
mask with a rubber band to hold it on your head.
Speaker 9 (11:37):
You remember that.
Speaker 16 (11:38):
So one year Mama bought me a Superman costume. It
had the suit, had a little cape, and it had
a Superman mask. Didn't look a whole lot like Superman though,
looked more like one of the guys on the Pep
Boys signed End of the night, these two mean dudes
from down the block rolled up on me, whooped my
ass and took all my candy over something So next year,
(12:02):
Mama bought me the six million dollar Man suit that
was my favorite TV show. I think it had the
same mask as the Superman costume, but his hair was
brown instead of blue. Anyway, end of the night, sure enough,
seen two dudes from last year whooped my ass and
took all my candy with Well. The next day, my
(12:22):
uncle Cedric pulled me to the side and said, boy,
let me tell you something. If you ever want to
get in with some candy in this neighborhood, you need
to quit going out for Halloween in a white boy mask, Okay,
which I thought was a good point. So next year
I made my own costume, you know, something a little
more relevant to the black experience. I went as Jimmy
JJ Walker from Good Time. I already had the hat.
(12:45):
I just threw dining on Mike. Then after the Trick
or Treat party.
Speaker 9 (12:48):
And I was good to go out.
Speaker 16 (12:49):
But after that I kind of aged out of Halloween
for a while. Then I got a job and I
started dating this smoking hot little girl at the place
I worked at.
Speaker 9 (12:58):
She was from a real big Fani.
Speaker 16 (13:00):
Day before Halloween, she goes, get your costume red at baby,
you and Me's taking all the little nieces and nephews
out for trick or treat tomorrow night. See that ought
to tell you how hot this girl was. I'm taking
a bunch of little kids out for tricker treat and
they ain't even mine. So I said, well, okay, I'll go,
but I ain't really got no costume. She said, oh,
I don't worry about it. Come on over to mama's house.
(13:22):
We'll make you up one from scratch. Well this was
when Purple Rain had just come out, so Prince was
pretty hot back then. And she went in the closet
and pulled out this purple velvet jacket that her mama
used to wear the church on Sunday, and then a
little white blouse with a little ruffle thing on the neck,
and she put some Jerry Curle in my hair. Next
(13:43):
thing you know, I was Prince from Papa Rain. Okay,
I was more like Dave Chappelle, Prince from the Charlie
Murphy basketball. You know, a guy do what he gotta do.
I knew it was bad when the girl broke up
with me the day after Halloween and didn't even ask
me for the clothes. So about that time, my mama
started trying to get me to go back to church
(14:05):
as Mama will do. She brought me the shop looking
jet black two piece suit. It was fine. So for
costume day at work, I started wearing a black suit
with one of Mama's church whigs. I went as Samuel
Jackson from pulp Fiction. I had a little trouble with
that one too. I walked in the door, I said,
(14:25):
you know, the path of the righteous man is beset
on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and
the tyranny of evil men. All the white dudes in
the office said what. I said, what?
Speaker 4 (14:38):
What?
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Ain't no country I ever heard of?
Speaker 16 (14:40):
Say what again? I dare you, I double dare you?
Say what one more time? Then they all went, oh yeah,
men in black.
Speaker 9 (14:47):
I got it.
Speaker 16 (14:49):
Then a couple of years ago, Prince died and for
some reason, I guess I was going down memory lane.
I tried to do the purple rain thing for Halloween again.
So I dressed up, went into work in the purple
jacket and the wig. One of the white dudes goes, hey,
I know you Rick James, bitch, And that's when I
quit dressing up for costume day altogether. Now I just
(15:13):
go to work in the street clothes, and when somebody
rolls up and says who you supposed to be? I
just go what's in your wallet? Y'all'll think about it.
I'm glad about.

Speaker 12 (24:57):
Thank you, sir.
Speaker 5 (25:04):
Bottom of the hour, top of you n News right
on the other side, I remembering Rayford. I'm glad we
got got into this here in our last year.
Speaker 7 (25:13):
Show Robert d Rayferd kicking off the John Boy and
(25:44):
Billy Show. And here's something that was sent in by
a listener. And I'll tell you what it does. It
shows how relative things are relative in time. I can
tell things that happened to me way back yonder seventy
years ago or so on. Some people say, hey, well
that's so old fashioned. Well it's relative. And for instance,
(26:05):
here here's something from us thirty somethings, something sent in
by this thirty something crowd. And Mark Bunch, one of them, says,
when I was a kid, adults used to bore me
to tears with their tedious diatribes about how hard things
were when they were growing up, walking twenty five miles
to school uphill both.
Speaker 9 (26:24):
Ways, YadA da, YadA da.
Speaker 7 (26:26):
And I remember promising myself that when I grew up,
there was no way I was going to lay a
bunch of stuff like that on kids about how hard.
Speaker 9 (26:33):
I had it and how easy they got it.
Speaker 7 (26:35):
But now now that that age, the ripe old age
of thirty, I can't help but look around and notice
the youth of today you got it easy. When I
was a kid, we didn't have the Internet. If we
wanted to know something, we had to go to the
library and look it up ourselves and the card catalog.
These days go to the library, can't even find a
card catalog. There was no email. We had to actually
(26:57):
write somebody a letter with a pen or pencil. You
had to walk all across the street and put it
in the mailbox, and it might take a week to
get there. There were no MP thre's and napsters. You
wanted to steal music, you had to hitchhike to the
record store and maybe steal it yourself, certainly pay for it.
Speaker 16 (27:15):
Oh me.
Speaker 7 (27:17):
We didn't have a fancy stuff like call waiting. If
you were on the phone, somebody else call, they got
a busy signal.
Speaker 9 (27:23):
That's it.
Speaker 7 (27:24):
And we didn't have the fancy caller ID boxes either either.
When the phone rang, you had no idea who it was.
It could be your school, your mom, your boss, your
drug dealer, or collection agents.
Speaker 9 (27:34):
You just didn't know.
Speaker 7 (27:36):
You had to pick it up and take your chances. Mister,
I sure agree with that. Yes, that's real sneaky telephone rings.
You look at it and see who's calling. You don't
want to answer it. You don't too sneaky.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
Sure.
Speaker 7 (27:48):
We had cable television back then. It was only like
fifteen channels and there was no on screen menu, no
remote control. You had to use a little book called
a TV Guide and find out what was on, and
when it came to channels surfing, you had to get
off your butt and walk over to the TV to
change the channel. That's exactly what I'm talking about. You
(28:09):
kids today have got it too easy. You're spoiled. You
guys wouldn't have lasted five minutes back in nineteen eighty.
Speaker 9 (28:16):
You see there, it's relative.
Speaker 7 (28:18):
Older people get the more they relate to things from
their childhood, and people of an older late age say, oh,
well it was like this really, And people younger say,
I don't know what y'all are talking about.
Speaker 9 (28:28):
You bore me with it, but you'll get there too.
Who says that? I say that? Robert d Rayfer John
Boy and Billy Show, Good morning.
Speaker 5 (29:01):
That's a big show on the radio for your Friday.
October the twenty fourth is a brand new script on
Friday mornings, getting in the playhouse.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
So let's do it action.
Speaker 6 (29:15):
Hello friends, your old pal Burn Fern here with another
placenta popping edition of John Boy and Billy Playhouse. Today's
episode the Noon Litter. As our story opens, an elderly
woman is waiting for a visit from the old country vet.
Speaker 8 (29:31):
Gladys, it's the dangiest thing I ever did say. Ten
kittens in one litter. Well, of course they're cute, adorable even,
but that that's not the point. Fluffy's not been out
of the house in a year. This is this is
some sort of miracle of something. I'm waiting for old
Doc Murphy to show up. Oh, I reckon, that's him now,
I'll talk to you later, Gladys.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Doc is that you sure is? Miss Green?
Speaker 6 (29:57):
I come over as soon as I could. I had
to be a midwife for Tom Tuttle's cow, Henrietta.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
What a mess.
Speaker 6 (30:04):
I was planning on getting new shoes anyhow, So what's
going on here? You said it was some sort of miracle.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Well, ain't sure, must be looking on her.
Speaker 6 (30:15):
Well look at that, Miss Beulah had kittens, one, two, three,
ten of them.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
That's pretty impressive. Well done, Beulah. But while that it's
a pretty good sized litter, it's hardly a miracle.
Speaker 8 (30:29):
Well that's cause you don't know the details.
Speaker 6 (30:32):
Now, the mcal Hennys dog Fergie had eighteen puppies. Now
that was a miracle. But see Tucker Prescott's hen Noogie
laid twenty five eggs in one sitting.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
That was America. But this might be different.
Speaker 6 (30:44):
Right, there was a time Bert Macklin's hog Denise gave
birth to one piglet.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
How is that a miracle? It weighed one hundred and
two pounds. Old Gal walks bow legged to this day.
Speaker 8 (30:55):
What an interesting life you leave. But I'm trying to
tell you this is different. Tell I don't know how
miss Bulah got pregnant.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Well, here is a comic book that I give to
the kids to explain that.
Speaker 8 (31:07):
No, no, I know the mechanics of it. It's just
that Beulah is an indoor cat, always has been. I
have no idea how she could have gotten pregnant.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Now am I seeing things? Or is that a big
old tomcat sitting on the couch.
Speaker 8 (31:23):
Oh that's Garfield. There's no way it could be him.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
How could you be so sure?
Speaker 8 (31:29):
Well, silly, that's Beulah's brothers, son of us.
Speaker 6 (31:41):
We hope you enjoyed John Boy and Billy Playhouse. Tune
in next time when we'll hear Bert Macklin's bow legged hog.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
Denise say, hey, big man, let me hold a dollar.

So today's special guests is I don't have Randy Riddle

Speaker 3 (34:25):
Let me give it a shot. Alex Senjemanah, How.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Did I do?
Speaker 3 (34:29):
Alex?
Speaker 2 (34:30):
All right?
Speaker 3 (34:31):
Well great, thank you so much.
Speaker 5 (34:34):
Well welcome Alex. Now let me tell our listeners about you.
Growing up in the midst of an unstable Rwandan government,
Alex experience firsthand the travesties of his nation's genocide, the
height of tribal unrest. The genocide claimed the lives of
his caregivers. Fleeing for his life, Alex escaped gunman and
(34:55):
eventually ended up in an orphanage that was his home
for the next several years. It was there where Alex
received a shoebox from Operation Christmas Child one year after
arriving at the orphanage. Remembers being so excited to have
a gift to call his own. The shoebox gift sowed
seeds of hope and love that he desperately needed. He
realized that God had a specific plan for his life.
(35:18):
Alex now serves with Operation Christmas Child, sharing his story
all around the world. Tickled the Heavy this morning on
the Big Show. Good morning again, Alex.
Speaker 18 (35:28):
Good morning. Thank you so much for having me. Such
a joy to be back again.
Speaker 5 (35:32):
Good to have you again, Alex. That's awesome body. So
we understand you got the shoebox gift while you were
in that orphanage. So tell us a little bit what
your life was like as a child. Alex.
Speaker 6 (35:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 18 (35:45):
Yeah, when I was about six years old, that's when
the tribal unrest was that its greatest in the country
of Rwanda, and that tribal unrest was the result of
hatred had been in creating people's lives. And when that
genocide started on April sixth, my grandmother and one of
my uncles were both killed. So me and my brother
(36:06):
and my sister we started to run from family to family.
But along the way God was doing so many miracles
to protect us. And I remember as a little boy
just wandering and so scared, and as we ran, there
were so many miracles. For example, when man's weapons didn't
work when they went to pull the trigger, and from
the time when I would fall and fall down to
(36:28):
the ground and a bullet would miss my head. So
along the way, God was in so many miracles to
protect me. But it was when a time when I
had lost hope and when I had lost almost everyone
in my family because of that genocide. I was putting
that orphanage. And this is when Samaritans Purse responded to
what was happening in the country of Rwanda. It ran
in July when the genocide ended, and to kind of
(36:51):
paint a picture, that genocide took more than a million
lives and over four thousand orphans were less in the country.
Speaker 12 (36:58):
Wow, it's a difficult.
Speaker 18 (37:00):
Time for everyone. And so I get into this orphanage
and Samaritans Suppos responded with using their word Medicalmmission Team.
And then a year later, in nineteen ninety five, that's
when they brought operation in Christmas shoeboxes to our orphanage. Yeah,
and guys, that's when I got to receive a gift
for the very first time in my life. And it
was such a powerful day I'll never forget.
Speaker 5 (37:21):
And that's that's what we tell people to pack a shoebox.
I mean, you never had a gift before, and we
talk about stuff, you know, just a toothbrush, school suppliers,
just a ball, if you would deflated soccer ball with
a pump, put that in it. I mean, just your experience.
I mean, we can't put ourselves like that in your
(37:45):
position to realize that the way we grew up here.
So and Alexander Shan, you returned to Rwanda to deliver
shoebox gifts to the children at the same orphanage that
you got yours about.
Speaker 18 (37:57):
It, that's correct, Yeah, And I got to receive that
opperation Christmas Child shoe box gifts. I was so excited
that I actually kept the hair comb for the next
three years. And it really planned that seed of the
Gospel of Jesus Christ in my life. And so then
years later I had people who deciphled me, and then
I got adopted in the family in the United States.
(38:19):
So I grew up in high school and then in
Minnesota and I got to pack boxes. And then in
twenty thirteen I went to ruand with the oppression of
Christmas Child and we got to deliver shoe boxes. And
that was a powerful moment when I got to stand
in the same place that I stood at a seven
year old, this time handing out a shoe box gifts.
I'm bringing hope and love of Jesus Christ to children
(38:41):
who are seeing that orphanage. And it was such a
powerful moment I'll never forget. And the children who are
still there needed to be reminded and no matter what
they're going through, also, the God loved them and God cares.
And that is the goal of these shoe boxes because
they are fun to pack, but they're also fun to receive.
Seeing the kids receive them such a special moment.
Speaker 5 (39:01):
And then and then you get this, this these gifts
from people who you do not know, and like you said,
in every shoe box is the gospel of Jesus Christ
to tell his love for you. And you're realizing, wow,
this is just a way that tangible love where you
can get this gift and say why is this happening?
(39:23):
And that's why we say include a photo of you
and your family if you pack a shoebox gift, so
they can, uh, you know when you see that, so
your experience when you open that that that box what
I'm just beyond words, just just for you, Alex going, yeah, yeah, it.
Speaker 18 (39:44):
Was such a special moment and I was reminded I
was not forgotten. And because of that shoebox gift, my
journey of healing continued to happen, even because God send
me people to one that seed of the gospel that
had been planted by that shoebox gift, And it was
through that in my genuine faith, my personal faith continued
to grow. And I remember someone coming to me in
(40:07):
one of my mentors asking me, Alex, what happened. But
if you would sit with a person who has caused
you the most spend in your life, what.
Speaker 10 (40:14):
Would you do?
Speaker 18 (40:15):
And that helped me realize that I was angry and
I was bitter, and so I started to pray, Lord,
help me to heal that actually, one day I can
be able to see the people who caused me pain.
And it was through that mentorship that my face continued
to grow. But all of that goes back that day
when that person typed that shoebox gifts in nineteen ninety four,
and that shoebox gift ended up in my hands in
(40:37):
nineteen ninety five, and it planted that speed, and so
I shared this to encourage someone. You know, the shoeboxes
really do make a difference in the kid's life and
the kids are being romanded that they loved and that's.
Speaker 3 (40:49):
What we say.
Speaker 5 (40:49):
So over two hundred and thirty two million shoe box
gifts have been collected and another like around twelve million.
Well hoping to do. But don't lost in all those numbers.
We say, one box, one kid, and we're talking to
you that had that impact not only for your life
here but for eternity.

Speaker 18 (41:10):
Yeah, that's correct because yeah, this year we have a
goal of packing twelve million shoe boxes and that's twelve
million children we hope to reach with the gospel and
everyone can participate, even on packing a shoe box online.
