I went back and re-read their list of needs. They listed "aircons," not ACs, as I initially remembered. One does wonder, however, what they'll be preaching & teaching about the end-time, because that is, after all, part of their prophetic message.
The more I think about it, the more I get aggravated by their memorization of set card texts. On their Donations page, they attribute 2 Cor. 6:17 to a saying of Jesus, which it is not. Picky stuff, but here's how it flows in context:
'We will have a radical Christian band (Family style!) to attract young people, where we will tell them about the simple love of Jesus, a coming new world that He will bring and expose the world's System for what it is, quoting the words of Jesus, "to come out from among them and be ye separate said the Lord and touch not the unclean thing and I will receive you."'
I'd love to invite these guys to do a gig for the Holmes County Amish. Rolling onto the Yoder farm to celebrate rumspringa with a combustion engine, air-conditioning, electrical hookups, and a coffee shop would be radically worldly, yah? One would hope the Amish know that 2 Cor. 6:17 aren't a direct quotation of Jesus; they're the words of Paul, quoting Isaiah 52:11 and Hos. 4:17, who are speaking for "the Lord," meaning God the Father or YWH. Jesus had slightly different messages about ritual purity and being in the world but not of the world.
