Loving Father we want to
come before You to ask You for
00:00:12.60\00:00:18.90
Your blessings, we thank
You because You have given
00:00:18.90\00:00:22.00
us traveling mercies.
00:00:22.00\00:00:23.56
We thank You for the opportunity
and the joy together as
00:00:23.56\00:00:27.20
one under Your presence.
00:00:27.20\00:00:29.26
Heavenly Father we ask You
that these meetings will be a
00:00:29.26\00:00:33.13
life changing
experience for all of us.
00:00:33.13\00:00:35.80
We ask that You to please
bless the organizers, and also
00:00:35.80\00:00:39.80
Lord, empower the speakers.
00:00:39.80\00:00:43.93
We pray for each one of
us, the participants, Lord we
00:00:43.93\00:00:47.70
ask that the power of Your
Holy Spirit might transform
00:00:47.70\00:00:52.56
our being and that we
might come out of this place
00:00:52.56\00:00:55.83
equipped and filled with
Your Spirit and on fire to
00:00:55.83\00:01:02.43
spread the gospel and
Lord the good news of Your
00:01:02.43\00:01:07.70
salvation and to
hasten You're soon coming.
00:01:07.70\00:01:10.00
We thank You for everything
You have done for us and
00:01:10.00\00:01:12.93
we pray all these
things in Your name Amen.
00:01:12.93\00:01:15.73
GYC, we have been having
GYC for a couple of years now.
00:01:25.53\00:01:30.00
How many of you
been to GYC before?
00:01:30.00\00:01:31.56
Raise your hands.
00:01:31.56\00:01:33.20
Wow, it's a lot of you.
00:01:33.20\00:01:34.26
We have a
special segment called,
00:01:34.26\00:01:35.86
"Something Is
Happening" repeat after me.
00:01:35.86\00:01:37.93
"Something Is Happening"
00:01:37.93\00:01:41.30
the problem is sometimes
we say something is happening,
00:01:41.30\00:01:43.33
something is happening
and often times is there
00:01:43.33\00:01:45.33
anything happening?
00:01:45.33\00:01:46.83
Well sometimes there are
that's why we say something
00:01:46.83\00:01:49.40
is happening,
anyway it's happening.
00:01:49.40\00:01:52.10
Anyway we would like to
hear a GYC showcase highlights
00:01:52.10\00:01:55.13
some things that
are, but for young people.
00:01:55.13\00:01:59.70
Each evening we're going to
spend about a couple minutes
00:01:59.70\00:02:03.06
to introduce
ministries, or some testimonies,
00:02:03.06\00:02:05.76
or something special
going on that is of some
00:02:05.76\00:02:08.66
relevance to you.
00:02:08.66\00:02:10.73
Tonight we have a special
video that we would like to
00:02:10.73\00:02:13.60
showcase coming from
Life, Life is, I won't tell you
00:02:13.60\00:02:18.30
much about it, I'm going
to have you watch the video
00:02:18.30\00:02:20.10
first and then we're going
to come out with some people
00:02:20.10\00:02:21.86
and they will
explain it afterwards.
00:02:21.86\00:02:23.86
So sit back, relax
and watch the video.
00:02:23.86\00:02:29.03
We have come to the end
of the school year today and
00:02:30.30\00:02:32.76
we're ending it the together.
00:02:32.76\00:02:35.03
We have learned a lot
this year, haven't we?
00:02:36.60\00:02:38.03
Kids: yes.
00:02:38.03\00:02:39.66
We have also shared a lot
a wonderful moments together.
00:02:39.66\00:02:42.20
You have a very special
place in my heart and I'm
00:02:42.20\00:02:44.96
going to miss you.
00:02:44.96\00:02:46.30
I hope you have a fun
summer, stay safe and remember,
00:02:46.30\00:02:48.76
always do your best.

Alright Phillip take it
easy. Keep us in your prayers,
00:04:46.43\00:04:48.43
yep, thanks, bye-bye.
00:04:48.43\00:04:50.60
Eleida, for the next four
months God is going to use
00:04:50.60\00:04:55.46
you, God is going to use
Phillip, and God is going
00:04:55.46\00:05:00.26
to use me.
00:05:00.26\00:05:01.70
To instruct our students,
to inspire our students,
00:05:01.70\00:05:05.70
and to help them
to become involved in
00:05:05.70\00:05:08.10
active soul winning.
00:05:08.10\00:05:09.56
Our purpose is to fulfill
what Jesus said in Matthew 28.
00:05:09.56\00:05:14.13
You remember the
text its verse 19.
00:05:14.13\00:05:15.83
Jesus say go ye therefore
into all the world and teach
00:05:15.83\00:05:19.80
all nations all things.
00:05:19.80\00:05:22.06
That is what we exist for.
00:05:22.06\00:05:24.23
Any other reason that
we are here for needs to
00:05:24.23\00:05:27.46
get out right now.
00:05:27.46\00:05:28.90
Nothing in this world
ignites somebody's evangelistic
00:05:28.90\00:05:33.40
fire as being involved
in someone's conversion.
00:05:33.40\00:05:38.43
Being involved with someone
giving their life to Jesus.
00:05:38.43\00:05:44.00
God has called us to do that.
00:05:44.00\00:05:46.50
God has called our students
to be here, we do not know
00:05:46.50\00:05:49.40
who is going to be here, we
do not know where people are
00:05:49.40\00:05:52.23
going to have come
from, I mean you were teacher,
00:05:52.23\00:05:54.66
who thought that
you would be here?
00:05:54.66\00:05:56.50
I used to drive an 18
wheeler and ride a motorcycle,
00:05:56.50\00:06:00.10
who thought I would be here?
00:06:00.10\00:06:02.00
And Phillip, who
thought he would be here riding
00:06:02.00\00:06:03.93
motor-cross?
00:06:03.93\00:06:05.66
But God has called each
one of us here, and God has
00:06:05.66\00:06:08.66
called each one of
our students to be here.
00:06:08.66\00:06:11.53
As we start right here
at the Lay Institute for
00:06:11.53\00:06:15.56
Evangelism, are you
ready for that Eleida? Yes!
00:06:15.56\00:06:19.50
Let's pray, Jesus we ask
that you would be with us...
00:06:19.50\00:06:23.70
God is going to use you
to have an internal impact
00:06:25.63\00:06:28.90
on someone's life.
00:06:28.90\00:06:30.90
The devil is going to try
to discourage you, maybe he
00:06:30.90\00:06:33.26
is even going to use
some of your own classmates to
00:06:33.26\00:06:36.03
discourage you because we
know that over the next 16
00:06:36.03\00:06:40.80
weeks God is going to use
you to reach a soul for the
00:06:40.80\00:06:45.53
kingdom of heaven.
00:06:45.53\00:06:46.83
While you are here
you're going to be challenged.
00:06:48.40\00:06:50.50
While you're here you
may even become discouraged,
00:06:51.70\00:06:54.86
yet you will never
regret your decision to come,
00:06:54.86\00:06:58.00
experience life.
00:06:58.00\00:07:04.10
Hi my name is Tom,
00:07:45.96\00:07:47.70
I'm from the Lay
Institute for Evangelism.
00:07:47.70\00:07:49.80
Would your parents be home?
00:07:49.80\00:07:51.50
Are you going to help my dad?
00:07:51.50\00:07:53.20
How can I help you dad?
00:07:53.20\00:07:55.36
Dad!
00:08:16.90\00:08:18.63
Hi my name is Tom.
00:08:29.43\00:08:31.33
No man!
00:08:31.33\00:08:32.96
Christa get my bag.
00:08:39.50\00:08:41.06
Here take this.
00:08:41.06\00:08:42.53
Come on, come on, come on.

Amazing Grace
how sweet the sound
00:11:50.40\00:11:57.30
that saved a wretch like me
00:11:57.30\00:12:05.63
I once was lost but now am found
00:12:07.20\00:12:16.03
was blind but now I see
00:12:18.00\00:12:24.00
twist grace, the Bible
tells us in Philippians 4:13
00:12:27.06\00:12:31.20
I can do all things
through Christ who gives
00:12:31.20\00:12:34.63
me strength.
00:12:34.63\00:12:35.70
My friends how many
things can we do with God that
00:12:35.70\00:12:36.90
gives us strength?
00:12:36.90\00:12:37.90
All things, in the Bible
it says in Matthew 19:26,
00:12:37.90\00:12:41.13
"with men this is impossible,
but with God all things"
00:12:41.13\00:12:44.50
"are possible".
00:12:44.50\00:12:45.46
How many things are possible?
00:12:45.46\00:12:46.73
Audience: all things.
00:12:46.73\00:12:47.70
Speaker: all things
00:12:47.70\00:12:48.80
it was possible for God
to change Mike's life and it
00:12:48.80\00:12:50.73
is possible for
God to change yours.
00:12:50.73\00:12:53.10
how precious is
that Grace appear
00:13:43.26\00:13:51.13
the hour I first believed.
00:13:51.13\00:13:58.90
You will never regret
your decision to come,
00:13:58.90\00:14:04.93
experience LIFE.
00:14:04.93\00:14:11.33
Scott, what is
life? What is life?
00:14:20.00\00:14:24.36
It stands for Lay
Institute for Evangelism.
00:14:24.36\00:14:29.26
Tell us about this Institute,
what's going on, we've
00:14:29.26\00:14:33.40
been hit by this video,
but what is actually going on?
00:14:33.40\00:14:37.53
What is it all about?
00:14:37.53\00:14:38.60
This is what is
happening at Life.
00:14:38.60\00:14:40.13
The reason that life exists
00:14:40.13\00:14:42.13
is to help each one of you
00:14:42.13\00:14:44.13
to become the sole winner that
00:14:44.13\00:14:46.06
the Lord Jesus
has created you to be.
00:14:46.06\00:14:47.76
So what we want to do at
Life, and what we have done
00:14:47.76\00:14:51.66
already, and what we will
do in 2010, is train people
00:14:51.66\00:14:55.33
younger people, older people,
people consider themselves
00:14:55.33\00:14:58.96
middle-aged, to do
the work of an evangelist.
00:14:58.96\00:15:01.56
How was this Life
different from any of the other
00:15:01.56\00:15:04.13
training schools out there?
00:15:04.13\00:15:05.46
Well first of all we
are in sunny Florida, so the
00:15:05.46\00:15:10.00
winters are very mild there.
00:15:10.00\00:15:11.83
Huge
difference, huge difference.
00:15:11.83\00:15:13.40
I think one of the
things that makes a huge
00:15:13.40\00:15:15.96
difference is the
staff that we have.
00:15:15.96\00:15:17.90
Eleida Feliciano
is our administrator.
00:15:17.90\00:15:19.73
You met Phillip
Sizemore earlier this afternoon.
00:15:19.73\00:15:23.40
The energy that the
staff puts into the students is
00:15:23.40\00:15:26.70
exponential, and I know
other training institutions
00:15:26.70\00:15:30.10
do the same thing but we
are really trying to focus
00:15:30.10\00:15:33.43
on the students as
individuals, not just a pack of
00:15:33.43\00:15:36.73
students, but
students as individuals.
00:15:36.73\00:15:38.96
What does the student need
to be exactly what the Lord
00:15:38.96\00:15:41.20
wanted them to be when
it comes to saving souls?
00:15:41.20\00:15:44.46
Why GYC, so attendees can
get more information about
00:15:44.46\00:15:47.70
life, what can we do?
00:15:47.70\00:15:49.13
Well if you go into the
booth area, it is very difficult
00:15:49.13\00:15:52.20
to miss Life, we have a
trailer there in the middle and
00:15:52.20\00:15:54.86
we also have a set up
there because we are going to be
00:15:54.86\00:15:57.20
doing one of the sessions
that Phillip talked about
00:15:57.20\00:15:59.50
earlier this evening.
00:15:59.50\00:16:00.96
So you can come by our
booth, and come by the stage we
00:16:00.96\00:16:03.96
have set up, that is actually
the stage we had for our
00:16:03.96\00:16:06.90
class that is
available on the DVD set.
00:16:06.90\00:16:09.96
That is there a
website that they can visit?
00:16:09.96\00:16:11.86
There has to be
people who want to go there,
00:16:11.86\00:16:13.70
but online also?
00:16:13.70\00:16:15.76
www. come experiencelife. com
00:16:15.76\00:16:19.36
That's it, great.
Thanks so much Scott.
00:16:19.36\00:16:20.86
Adam: it is good to be here GYC.
00:16:20.86\00:16:24.30
We are all from
the European continent,
00:16:24.30\00:16:27.66
anyone here from Europe?
00:16:27.66\00:16:29.40
It's good to be here in America.
00:16:30.90\00:16:32.10
Here in America, in America
you have exported some things
00:16:32.10\00:16:35.96
that are really bad things
for the rest of the world.
00:16:35.96\00:16:40.03
Right? You have
given us Hollywood.
00:16:40.03\00:16:42.00
You have given the rest of
00:16:42.00\00:16:43.70
the world McDonald's.
00:16:43.70\00:16:45.13
Everywhere around the world
00:16:45.13\00:16:47.10
you see a McDonald's.
00:16:47.10\00:16:48.26
But there is one good thing
that we have experienced in
00:16:48.26\00:16:50.40
Europe which is an export,
so to speak, from the United
00:16:50.40\00:16:52.53
States of America.
00:16:52.53\00:16:53.60
We are going to talk a
little bit this morning,
00:16:53.60\00:16:55.46
and Indirah could you
tell us a little bit about this
00:16:55.46\00:16:57.73
program we are
going to talk about?
00:16:57.73\00:16:58.86
Indirah: okay I'm going
to speak to ASI for Jesus and
00:16:58.86\00:17:02.00
it was 5 to 6 by Bible workers
in North England working towards
00:17:02.00\00:17:06.93
an Evangelistic series at
the ending of the program.
00:17:06.93\00:17:09.46
We're working to give Bible
boot camp to church members,
00:17:09.46\00:17:13.80
training them to follow up
on our Bible study contacts.
00:17:13.80\00:17:18.10
What else did we do?
00:17:18.10\00:17:20.73
Adam: what was the
best thing about the program
00:17:20.73\00:17:23.83
would you say?
00:17:23.83\00:17:25.06
Indirah: what are the
challenges that was just it was
00:17:25.06\00:17:28.40
the first time it was
done in England and so we
00:17:28.40\00:17:32.00
faced a lot of challenges.
00:17:32.00\00:17:33.30
There was no prodigal, there
was no drafts so we were able to
00:17:33.30\00:17:35.90
create a pathway for upcoming
00:17:35.90\00:17:37.93
Bible workers in England.
00:17:37.93\00:17:39.93
Adam: So for the first
time this year, soon-to-be
00:17:39.93\00:17:42.03
last year, ASI Youth
for Jesus in England.
00:17:42.03\00:17:45.13
Adam: Clarissa you
were part of that program.
00:17:45.13\00:17:48.20
What was the best thing
about the program for you?
00:17:48.20\00:17:50.80
Clarissa: one of the
experiences I had was during the
00:17:50.80\00:17:53.50
Bible study with a 15-year-old,
requesting for Bible
00:17:53.50\00:17:56.46
studies, and every single
week of myself and Irena would
00:17:56.46\00:17:59.30
go to the house, she absolutely
soaked up every single
00:17:59.30\00:18:02.06
Bible study and was
convicted every single week.
00:18:02.06\00:18:04.56
She got to the point where
she decided to get baptized.
00:18:04.56\00:18:07.36
Recently she actually
told me that from going to a
00:18:07.36\00:18:11.10
secular college that she
is now attending, she had
00:18:11.10\00:18:14.76
started her own Christian
Union in her College and is now
00:18:14.76\00:18:18.36
giving the same Bible
studies we gave to her to the
00:18:18.36\00:18:21.10
people in the
college that she is at.
00:18:21.10\00:18:22.90
Adam: so before you went
to ASI for Jesus Bible worker
00:18:22.90\00:18:26.60
did you have some
training? Clarissa: yes
00:18:26.60\00:18:28.56
Adam: what was
the training you had?
00:18:28.56\00:18:31.00
Clarissa: we
attended Arise in Michigan.
00:18:31.00\00:18:33.40
Adam: what else did you
do the program, something you
00:18:33.40\00:18:37.50
learned at Arise
that you did there in the
00:18:37.50\00:18:39.53
Church in England?
00:18:39.53\00:18:40.76
Clarissa: every week we
gave Bible boot camp and what
00:18:40.76\00:18:45.00
that obviously consisted of
was sharing with the members
00:18:45.00\00:18:48.63
of the Church how to give
Bible studies and basically
00:18:48.63\00:18:51.63
the Bible studies they
had to give to other people.
00:18:51.63\00:18:55.46
One of the things we did
was not just the theory side
00:18:55.46\00:18:59.23
of it, it was both a
practical side of it too.
00:18:59.23\00:19:02.13
What we did is we decided
to take some of the members
00:19:02.13\00:19:05.56
with us to our Bible studies,
not to just sit there and
00:19:05.56\00:19:08.80
listen, but the best way to
actually learn how to give a
00:19:08.80\00:19:11.83
Bible study, being to
actually give the Bible study.
00:19:11.83\00:19:14.80
Adam: okay you were
taking church members and
00:19:14.80\00:19:18.43
mentoring them out into the
field, giving Bible studies,
00:19:18.43\00:19:21.93
and enjoying it?
00:19:21.93\00:19:23.86
Adam: now who did you take?
00:19:23.86\00:19:27.86
She took me with her.
00:19:27.86\00:19:30.46
Adam: she took you,
did she bully you along?
00:19:30.46\00:19:32.76
Rachel: Yes she bully me along.
00:19:32.76\00:19:35.00
Rachel: In a good way,
but she bullied me along.
00:19:35.00\00:19:36.90
Adam: So you weren't part
of the liaison for Jesus team?
00:19:36.90\00:19:40.73
Not at all.
00:19:40.73\00:19:42.96
But you go to the
Nottingham Central Seventh-day
00:19:42.96\00:19:46.06
Adventist church yes.
00:19:46.06\00:19:47.30
Adam: before you ever
went out with Clarissa had you
00:19:47.30\00:19:49.40
ever done a Bible study before?
00:19:49.40\00:19:50.60
Rachel: Never in my life
have I ever done a Bible study.
00:19:50.60\00:19:52.60
study, never, ever.
00:19:52.60\00:19:54.83
Adam: how was it?
00:19:54.83\00:19:56.96
Terrifying, absolutely petrified
00:19:56.96\00:20:00.90
Adam: but you
still got through it?
00:20:03.20\00:20:04.50
I still got
through it by God's grace.
00:20:04.50\00:20:06.00
With God all
things are possible.
00:20:06.00\00:20:07.46
Adam: okay you just went
along with Clarissa and watched
00:20:07.46\00:20:10.96
what she did?
00:20:10.96\00:20:12.16
I watched what she did and
then she bullied me into taking
00:20:12.16\00:20:15.20
a Bible study on my own.
00:20:15.20\00:20:17.73
In a good way of course.
00:20:17.73\00:20:20.16
Adam: I'm sure she
learned how to do that Arise.
00:20:22.83\00:20:24.66
So then you went on your own and
started Bible studies with her?
00:20:26.90\00:20:30.53
but the ASI for Jesus, if I'm
correct, was a six month project
00:20:30.53\00:20:34.10
So what happened
after the project finished?
00:20:34.10\00:20:37.03
After the project
finished I continued giving
00:20:37.03\00:20:39.93
the Bible studies.
00:20:39.93\00:20:40.96
Adam: on your own? On my own.
00:20:40.96\00:20:44.96
Then I invited a friend to come
along with me and last month
00:20:44.96\00:20:50.23
the lady I was giving
Bible studies to was baptized.
00:20:50.23\00:20:53.00
audience: Amen! Adam: Amen!
00:20:53.00\00:20:55.16
it must have been a good
experience seeing them baptized
00:20:55.16\00:20:59.70
in the pool of your church.
00:20:59.70\00:21:01.23
fantastic and I was glad
I was bullied into giving
00:21:01.23\00:21:04.50
Bible studies now.
00:21:04.50\00:21:05.66
And now you are continuing.
Irena: I am continuing and I
00:21:07.13\00:21:09.83
have my next Bible study
student very soon from now.
00:21:09.83\00:21:13.03
So here we have the project
mentoring Church members,
00:21:13.03\00:21:16.20
the project finishes and church
members are doing the Bible
00:21:16.20\00:21:20.13
studies, baptism, resulting
after the project as well.
00:21:20.13\00:21:24.00
Now Irena, you were
also part of the project.
00:21:24.00\00:21:26.66
What was one of the highlights
for you, now you are not from
00:21:26.66\00:21:29.93
England. Irene: no I am not.
00:21:29.93\00:21:31.40
Where are you from?
Irena: I'm from Holland.
00:21:31.40\00:21:33.56
Holland, is that
in the United States?
00:21:33.56\00:21:36.06
Ah, no. Adam: We just
have to check the geography.
00:21:36.06\00:21:40.73
That's in Europe
right? Irene: that's right.
00:21:40.73\00:21:42.23
So what was the highlight
of the program for you?
00:21:42.23\00:21:44.90
One of the
highlights was meeting Andreas.
00:21:44.90\00:21:48.60
We met Andreas not by knocking
on the door, but by just walking
00:21:48.60\00:21:53.53
up to him in a restaurant.
00:21:53.53\00:21:54.73
We gave him a DVD and then left.
the next time we went to the
00:21:54.73\00:22:01.33
restaurant, he was
there as well and talk to us.
00:22:01.33\00:22:04.10
He basically said he was
interested in getting to know us
00:22:04.10\00:22:08.53
I didn't want us to convert
him, I just wanted a friendship.
00:22:08.53\00:22:15.03
We decided to meet up with
him regularly and we had a good
00:22:15.03\00:22:20.00
friendship and every time we
met we had conversations with
00:22:20.00\00:22:24.93
him were always about
our religion and our God.
00:22:24.93\00:22:30.76
How much we love Him, and then
when the evangelistic series
00:22:30.76\00:22:36.73
started he invited himself
basically to come for 1 meeting
00:22:36.73\00:22:42.70
Which meeting was
that? 70 weeks prophecy.
00:22:42.70\00:22:46.33
he came just once because he
wanted to see what we were doing
00:22:46.33\00:22:50.70
He was so blown away that
he kept coming every night.
00:22:50.70\00:22:54.63
It was amazing and he is still
in the process of learning and
00:22:54.63\00:23:01.20
getting to know God. We
are still in touch with him.
00:23:01.20\00:23:02.83
But it was amazing to see how
our friendship just brought him
00:23:02.83\00:23:09.16
so close to our God.
00:23:09.16\00:23:11.30
Amen! so the Bible worker
does not always know because you
00:23:11.30\00:23:13.86
meet people all over. Irena: yes
00:23:13.86\00:23:15.63
Now what else, you said there
was a campaign, did this happen
00:23:15.63\00:23:19.43
during the campaign?
During the campaign we had
00:23:19.43\00:23:22.30
at the same time we had
Field school of evangelism
00:23:22.30\00:23:25.13
were Adventist youth came to be
trained by us as Bible workers
00:23:25.13\00:23:30.66
and some pastors as
well. They held meetings.
00:23:30.66\00:23:33.53
Adam: how many were
there? About 20 of them.
00:23:33.53\00:23:36.30
They helped us at the meetings
and they did practical training
00:23:36.30\00:23:40.96
by door knocking, they learned
by the classes we gave them.
00:23:40.96\00:23:45.50
Now we are coming to a close
but I believe there is something
00:23:47.26\00:23:50.46
exciting that you are involved
with next year also as well.
00:23:50.46\00:23:54.13
Yes, after being in England
and seeing the programs there
00:23:54.13\00:23:58.16
me and Indira have decided
to go back to our home country
00:23:58.16\00:24:01.63
and do the exact same thing
and have Bible workers there.
00:24:01.63\00:24:05.03
There are no Bible workers in
Holland yet, but we are setting
00:24:05.03\00:24:08.70
up as we speak.
00:24:08.70\00:24:10.16
Adam: Amen! ASI for Jesus over
here in America and there is
00:24:10.16\00:24:14.66
one in UK, and now there
is going to be one in Holland
00:24:14.66\00:24:17.63
as well so it was
spreading young people,
00:24:17.63\00:24:20.16
involved in
evangelism, over in Europe.
00:24:20.16\00:24:22.63
Some people say evangelism
doesn't work, I can tell
00:24:22.63\00:24:25.70
you it is not true.
00:24:25.70\00:24:26.73
Evangelism still
works, people are still hungry
00:24:26.73\00:24:29.63
for the Gospel and
it is good that you were
00:24:29.63\00:24:32.50
involved in it Clarissa.
00:24:32.50\00:24:33.50
Adam: and you are
involved in the project as well?
00:24:33.50\00:24:36.60
Clarissa: It's not going
to be just accessing Holland
00:24:36.60\00:24:39.90
but also back in
England and this year 2009
00:24:39.90\00:24:43.23
was our first year doing
00:24:43.23\00:24:44.30
ASI, but next year we
are going to do it again.
00:24:44.30\00:24:46.60
It will be with five
Bible workers including myself.
00:24:46.60\00:24:50.90
Now for just six months,
but for 10 months and it will
00:24:50.90\00:24:55.16
be based in
Birmingham in the UK.
00:24:55.16\00:24:57.23
Adam: Amen! Good things
are happening across the pond
00:24:57.23\00:25:00.70
in Europe as well is another
exciting initiative that is
00:25:00.70\00:25:04.26
taking place over there as
well as a follow on from the
00:25:04.26\00:25:07.80
field school of
evangelism which took place.
00:25:07.80\00:25:11.53
This upcoming year there is
something you may have heard
00:25:11.53\00:25:14.40
about and you will hear
more about it soon I'm sure.
00:25:14.40\00:25:17.23
It's called
Peace, which stands for
00:25:17.23\00:25:20.83
Pan European
Advanced Center of Evangelism.
00:25:20.83\00:25:29.20
It is a three-way initiative
with the North England
00:25:29.20\00:25:32.33
conference, ASI Europe,
and Amazing Facts to start a
00:25:32.33\00:25:36.26
training center for evangelism
in Europe so we can train
00:25:36.26\00:25:40.10
people over there to spread
the gospel over there in the
00:25:40.10\00:25:43.86
continent of Europe.
00:25:43.86\00:25:45.16
We want to solicit your
prayers and let you know that
00:25:45.16\00:25:47.80
things are happening all
over the world and I believe
00:25:47.80\00:25:50.36
Jesus, as we all work
together, will soon come.
00:25:50.36\00:25:53.60
As this message of a crucified
and soon to come Savior goes to
00:25:53.60\00:25:57.60
the whole world, Amen!
00:25:57.60\00:25:59.33
I am so excited for what
we are about to tell you.
00:26:03.40\00:26:05.53
Are you listening
closely? Audience: yes
00:26:05.53\00:26:07.83
I have three gentlemen
with me and we're going to talk
00:26:07.83\00:26:11.03
to you about
something called iPreach.
00:26:11.03\00:26:12.86
How many of you
have heard of iPreach?
00:26:12.86\00:26:14.63
Pastor Boonstra with
It Is Written believes in
00:26:14.63\00:26:17.90
sponsoring young
people to do evangelism, Amen!
00:26:17.90\00:26:21.10
so this year he could not
be with us, we are very sad
00:26:21.10\00:26:24.16
about that, but I have
three young men that were part
00:26:24.16\00:26:27.20
of it and going
to sure about it.
00:26:27.20\00:26:28.50
So tell me your name
and where you are from.
00:26:28.50\00:26:30.86
My name is Brad
LaLonde and I'm from Moose Jaw
00:26:30.86\00:26:33.16
Saskatchewan in Canada.
00:26:33.16\00:26:34.90
Okay Bradley, what impact
did you personally about being
00:26:34.90\00:26:39.76
part of iPreach?
00:26:39.76\00:26:41.00
How it personally impact
me is that one year ago I came
00:26:41.00\00:26:44.46
to GYC, and was sitting
where you guys are sitting
00:26:44.46\00:26:47.43
tonight, and I heard
this program called iPreach.
00:26:47.43\00:26:50.36
I said hey I
will give that a try.
00:26:50.36\00:26:51.90
So I went home with the
idea and talk to my local
00:26:51.90\00:26:54.40
conference, I talked my
local church, and we hooked it
00:26:54.40\00:26:57.23
up that I could be a
Bible worker leading into my own
00:26:57.23\00:27:00.06
evangelistic series.
00:27:00.06\00:27:01.76
I had the challenge of
putting the pre-work together,
00:27:01.76\00:27:05.10
organizing a campaign,
and rented the facilities.
00:27:05.10\00:27:08.56
There's one verse throughout
this process that I held
00:27:08.56\00:27:11.73
onto, it says nothing
you do, no work for the Lord
00:27:11.73\00:27:14.86
will be in vain.
00:27:14.86\00:27:16.40
I held onto that and every
single night of the campaign
00:27:16.40\00:27:19.16
there was someone there
that needed to hear the message.
00:27:19.16\00:27:22.30
In fact one night a newspaper
reporter came to write an
00:27:22.30\00:27:25.43
article about it.
00:27:25.43\00:27:26.80
Lo and behold the topic
that night was the Sabbath.
00:27:26.80\00:27:30.13
So a newspaper article
went out to our community about
00:27:30.13\00:27:33.43
how Saturday is the Sabbath day.
00:27:33.43\00:27:35.50
Brian, there was
something very specific that you
00:27:35.50\00:27:38.53
were able to do, something
very special as part of this
00:27:38.53\00:27:41.56
meeting, can you
tell us about that?
00:27:41.56\00:27:43.23
I had a very special privilege,
I took some training at
00:27:43.23\00:27:47.13
Arise in 2007, and I
have done some Bible work
00:27:47.13\00:27:50.43
and the Lord blessed it.
00:27:50.43\00:27:51.80
This year I had one decision
for baptism and I had the
00:27:51.80\00:27:55.33
privilege of
baptizing her three weeks ago.
00:27:55.33\00:27:57.50
So it was a blessing.
00:27:57.50\00:27:59.26
Can you imagine young
people, he organized and
00:27:59.26\00:28:01.80
preached evangelistic
meeting, did the pre-work, got
00:28:01.80\00:28:04.96
training online and was
able to baptize someone himself.
00:28:04.96\00:28:08.06
Wasn't that amazing? Praise God!
00:28:08.06\00:28:09.76
Alright tell me your
name and where you are from.
00:28:09.76\00:28:11.90
My name is Nwamiko Madden
and I'm from Montréal Canada.
00:28:11.90\00:28:14.46
Another Canadian, alright.
00:28:14.46\00:28:16.80
So give us a
testimony of what happened
00:28:16.80\00:28:20.30
during your meetings.
00:28:20.30\00:28:21.63
First of all iPreach experience
as a testimony because
00:28:21.63\00:28:24.93
our church in secular
Montréal hadn't done an
00:28:24.93\00:28:27.60
evangelistic
effort in seven years.
00:28:27.60\00:28:29.63
So it was pretty much a
resurrection of the dead and it
00:28:29.63\00:28:32.40
was amazing to see the
churches get back animated.
00:28:32.40\00:28:35.40
I think we had like
approximately 22 people going
00:28:35.40\00:28:38.33
out each night,
knocking on doors.
00:28:38.33\00:28:40.06
And the experience was
amazing, but what was really
00:28:40.06\00:28:42.80
amazing to me was to see
that the Spirit of God was
00:28:42.80\00:28:45.93
the One that was
confirming that He instructing
00:28:45.93\00:28:49.00
the entire thing.
00:28:49.00\00:28:50.10
Because one day as we
were getting ready to go out,
00:28:50.10\00:28:52.46
we had gotten together and
knelt down to start praying.
00:28:52.46\00:28:54.83
We were just getting
ready to go out and as we are
00:28:54.83\00:28:57.26
kneeling down on the
floor, and everybody is praying,
00:28:57.26\00:28:59.66
we were about to say
Amen, and a guy walks in.
00:28:59.66\00:29:02.70
We look at up him,
we are like what is up?
00:29:02.70\00:29:05.70
He says I'm ready.
00:29:05.70\00:29:06.96
We were like ready for what?
00:29:06.96\00:29:08.80
He said I can't take it
anymore the Spirit of God has
00:29:08.80\00:29:12.30
been convicting me, I'm
being told by God to go to
00:29:12.30\00:29:15.73
the Adventist church and
become a Seventh-day Adventist.
00:29:15.73\00:29:18.00
I'm here, I'm
ready, where is the pool?
00:29:18.00\00:29:20.36
I said is right back
there, but I'd never seen it be
00:29:22.40\00:29:25.43
that easy and the
Spirit of God confirmed that.
00:29:25.43\00:29:27.83
When we started do evangelism,
he starts to bring those
00:29:27.83\00:29:30.63
Divine appointments to us.
00:29:30.63\00:29:32.20
Speaker: Praise
God what a testimony,
00:29:32.20\00:29:34.10
what a testimony, thank you.
00:29:34.10\00:29:35.76
One more thing actually,
we did the evangelistic series
00:29:35.76\00:29:38.53
and there was people that
were baptized and some still
00:29:38.53\00:29:41.73
studying for baptism in
January, but we also did a
00:29:41.73\00:29:44.90
website with the meetings
and 200 people went onto the
00:29:44.90\00:29:48.03
website and watched it online.
00:29:48.03\00:29:50.83
So many seeds were
planted by God's grace.
00:29:50.83\00:29:52.46
Well praise the lord
you can tell these guys are
00:29:52.46\00:29:53.73
preachers, right?
00:29:53.73\00:29:55.23
Speaker: Tell me your
name and where you're from?
00:29:55.23\00:29:57.30
My name is Robert Blais and
I'm originally from Montréal
00:29:57.30\00:29:59.83
British Columbia.
00:29:59.83\00:30:02.13
Another Canadian, I'm
going to have to make an appeal
00:30:02.13\00:30:04.46
for the United States
people to join iPreach, right?
00:30:04.46\00:30:06.76
No we appreciate these guys.
00:30:06.76\00:30:08.46
Tell us about three
special people that are here GYC
00:30:08.46\00:30:13.60
this year.
00:30:13.60\00:30:14.93
Well something incredible
happened at the evangelistic
00:30:14.93\00:30:19.46
series we did for iPreach.
00:30:19.46\00:30:21.30
Some of the people that
were baptized, three of them
00:30:21.30\00:30:24.46
are here today at GYC.
00:30:24.46\00:30:27.50
Speaker: Praise God, Amen!
00:30:27.50\00:30:30.43
we want to ask you a
question, there are young people
00:30:30.43\00:30:33.83
out here, do you think
they should come to the training
00:30:33.83\00:30:37.20
tomorrow and join
iPreach? Yes or no?
00:30:37.20\00:30:39.10
Amen! yes, I
say yes, absolutely!
00:30:39.10\00:30:40.90
Get out your program
booklet, tomorrow morning at
00:30:40.90\00:30:44.10
8:45 AM, what
time? Audience: 8:45 AM.
00:30:44.10\00:30:47.93
In this room there will
be a training for iPreach,
00:30:47.93\00:30:50.46
if you want to be a part
of it there is sponsorship,
00:30:50.46\00:30:52.83
there is so many good
things, come and be a part
00:30:52.83\00:30:55.93
of the training and you
will be up here next year
00:30:55.93\00:30:59.00
sharing a testimony.
00:30:59.00\00:31:00.43
Next we have a video on
something very important that
00:31:01.93\00:31:05.83
GYC does every year.
00:31:05.83\00:31:07.80
So we can roll that
video about the outreach day.
00:31:07.80\00:31:10.90
Today is my
favorite day at GYC, Amen!
00:31:13.33\00:31:16.63
not only is it the Sabbath day
00:31:16.63\00:31:19.33
but today is the outreach day.
00:31:19.33\00:31:22.36
Today is your
opportunity to take
00:31:22.36\00:31:24.60
what you have
learned in those seven
00:31:24.60\00:31:26.80
hours and put it into action.
00:31:26.80\00:31:28.63
To take that enthusiasm
and excitement I've been seeing
00:31:28.63\00:31:31.63
and bring it to
the streets, Amen!
00:31:31.63\00:31:33.83
the very first year I
believe there were 17 buses.
00:31:33.83\00:31:37.26
This year there were 50,
so the number of buses, there
00:31:37.26\00:31:40.70
is so many people
that want to go out there.
00:31:40.70\00:31:43.10
Outreach becomes
the highlight of GYC.
00:31:43.10\00:31:45.13
Young people went out,
sometimes for the first time,
00:31:45.13\00:31:47.16
and they will keep
doing it from here on out.
00:31:47.16\00:31:49.90
I think there was just
a couple hundred people it
00:31:49.90\00:31:52.60
was a social phenomenon,
but seeing there is thousands
00:31:52.60\00:31:55.90
a couple thousand people coming
here, there is definitely a need
00:31:55.90\00:32:01.13
Okay guys, be sure to pray with
the people when you are done
00:32:14.76\00:32:17.80
if they have a
spiritual interest.
00:32:17.80\00:32:19.40
It is crucial and has
melted so many hearts.
00:32:19.40\00:32:22.36
I've had friends that pray
with people who are atheist
00:32:22.36\00:32:26.00
Gnostics and it has
melted their hearts.
00:32:26.00\00:32:29.10
Guys, you have no
idea the power of prayer.
00:32:29.10\00:32:32.16
When we got off the bus
there was couples walking down
00:32:50.63\00:32:53.10
the street,
probably 20, 21 years old.
00:32:53.10\00:32:55.50
I go hey guys would you
be interested in filling
00:32:56.83\00:32:58.66
out a survey?
00:32:58.66\00:32:59.66
And they were like
are reluctant, not really.
00:32:59.66\00:33:01.40
Well what you come here
and talk about it and somebody
00:33:01.40\00:33:03.36
said about being a
Christian their eyes lit up.
00:33:03.36\00:33:06.63
I just got through praying
and said, Lord I know there
00:33:06.63\00:33:09.03
is someone would have to
reach today, I know there
00:33:09.03\00:33:11.40
someone You want to touch today.
00:33:11.40\00:33:12.63
As we were riding I was praying
God this is my third year in
00:33:12.63\00:33:15.66
GYC, this is his first,
but I still haven't experienced
00:33:15.66\00:33:19.23
anything crazy yet as
far as outreach is concerned.
00:33:19.23\00:33:22.60
So I had just said that
prayer and was walking and this
00:33:22.60\00:33:25.90
man comes running to us and
says, I have kids and I need
00:33:25.90\00:33:29.20
help, two days ago I was
trying to commit suicide.
00:33:29.20\00:33:31.96
Can you guys pray for me?
00:33:31.96\00:33:33.80
A lot of people out
there really hurting.
00:33:33.80\00:33:35.60
So I said to me well sir
if you are interested we have
00:33:35.60\00:33:38.26
a means through which you
can start reading the Bible
00:33:38.26\00:33:40.60
again, you can actually
study it for deeper meaning.
00:33:40.60\00:33:42.90
He said, well that
sounds like a great idea.
00:33:42.90\00:33:46.73
She took the Bible studies.
00:33:46.73\00:33:48.13
So he signed them
up for Bible study.
00:33:48.13\00:33:50.20
We signed up two
more Bible studies.
00:33:50.20\00:33:52.16
It was so full of the
Holy Spirit at that moment.
00:33:52.16\00:33:54.93
It was just such a blessing.
00:33:54.93\00:33:56.96
I see GYC in the future
working itself out of a job in
00:34:13.80\00:34:17.30
the sense that young
people all over the world are
00:34:17.30\00:34:20.00
making the decision
that we need to go out and do
00:34:20.00\00:34:22.60
evangelism and that we
are not going to have time to
00:34:22.60\00:34:25.16
have a convention
because everybody is too busy
00:34:25.16\00:34:26.90
out doing the work.
00:34:26.90\00:34:28.26
Then we are not going to
have to come anymore because
00:34:28.26\00:34:30.70
Jesus will have
come because we took the
00:34:30.70\00:34:32.10
Gospel to the whole world.
00:34:32.10\00:34:33.73
In San Jose we went door
to door and this video tells
00:34:54.50\00:34:58.06
you a little bit
about what happened.
00:34:58.06\00:35:00.10
For right now I want to ask
Holly to share with us about
00:35:00.10\00:35:04.56
something that
happened in San Jose.
00:35:04.56\00:35:06.73
Well last year in San Jose
California, there was someone
00:35:06.73\00:35:15.56
who knocked on a
very special persons door.
00:35:15.56\00:35:18.40
Her name was Olga, I went
back to find Olga and I would
00:35:18.40\00:35:23.16
go and knock on her door.
00:35:23.16\00:35:24.83
I must've went back to
Olga's house about 25 times and
00:35:24.83\00:35:28.73
Olga was never home.
00:35:28.73\00:35:31.13
I thought Lord how can
people never ever be home.
00:35:31.13\00:35:34.20
I went in the morning, I
went in the afternoon, I went
00:35:34.20\00:35:36.46
in the evening, and
I went late at night.
00:35:36.46\00:35:38.20
This lady was never home.
00:35:38.20\00:35:39.90
So I decided I was going
to call her because her number
00:35:39.90\00:35:42.50
was on the card.
00:35:42.50\00:35:43.63
So I give Olga a call,
and when I call her she sounds
00:35:43.63\00:35:46.50
really pleasant and
happy that I've called.
00:35:46.50\00:35:48.73
So I schedule a time to
come by, when I arrive at the
00:35:48.73\00:35:52.10
house she's beaming,
00:35:52.10\00:35:54.03
she says I'm so
happy that you came.
00:35:54.03\00:35:55.90
I'm so excited you're here
and I am a little taken back
00:35:55.90\00:35:59.96
because I felt like
this lady had never met me.
00:35:59.96\00:36:02.66
She said you are the
Bible study worker right?
00:36:02.66\00:36:05.40
And I say yes, I'm here
to give you Bible studies.
00:36:05.40\00:36:08.13
She said I remember
having lunch with you.
00:36:08.13\00:36:11.06
And I was like, you
remember having lunch with me?
00:36:11.06\00:36:14.50
She said yes and it turns
out I was doing some cooking
00:36:14.50\00:36:17.43
classes with her daughter
who lives all the way on the
00:36:17.43\00:36:20.33
other side of town.
00:36:20.33\00:36:21.93
Guess what, someone from
GYC happened to knock on this
00:36:21.93\00:36:25.73
lady's door, well not
only did I just meet Olga but
00:36:25.73\00:36:29.53
we continued to
study the Bible with her.
00:36:29.53\00:36:31.63
Because she mostly spoke
Spanish I brought a friend with
00:36:31.63\00:36:34.30
me and as they continue
to study the Bible, they went
00:36:34.30\00:36:37.23
through the studies and
Olga's life was changing.
00:36:37.23\00:36:40.10
One day Olga said,
00:36:40.10\00:36:42.63
Jay, that was the one who was
giving her the Bible studies,
00:36:42.63\00:36:44.90
she said Jay, what would
it take for me to become a
00:36:44.90\00:36:47.10
Seventh-day Adventist?
00:36:47.10\00:36:49.16
Olga has been coming to
church and now she's preparing
00:36:49.16\00:36:52.80
for baptism because
someone went out on Outreach Day
00:36:52.80\00:36:56.36
and knocked on her door.
00:36:56.36\00:36:58.13
Amen!, so you may be
feeling a little tired, you're
00:36:58.13\00:37:01.73
thinking about a nap
tomorrow afternoon, but I want
00:37:01.73\00:37:05.13
you to remember Olga because
that young person decided
00:37:05.13\00:37:08.16
not to take a nap and Olga's
door got knocked on, Amen!
00:37:08.16\00:37:11.16
Now there's something
different this year that is
00:37:11.16\00:37:14.20
happening, Outreach Day

It's on Friday,
tomorrow is January 1.
00:37:21.00\00:37:24.40
Many people make New Year's
resolutions every year and
00:37:24.40\00:37:27.06
we have something special
that we are going to bring to
00:37:27.06\00:37:29.73

Holly tell us about that.
00:37:31.36\00:37:32.90
This year we are going

Now, raise your
hand if you have been

has stood to make this
commitment for tomorrow.
00:38:45.36\00:38:47.63
Lord may nothing get in
our way of going out and
00:38:47.63\00:38:49.83
reach people for You.
00:38:49.83\00:38:51.36
I ask that You will open
doors and prepare the way.
00:38:51.36\00:38:53.83
I thank You u for this
opportunity to be a part of Your
00:38:53.83\00:38:56.93
great work, so Lord guide
us, prepare the people even
00:38:56.93\00:39:00.06
now that we will meet tomorrow.
00:39:00.06\00:39:01.63
We thank You for
this opportunity,
00:39:01.63\00:39:03.20
I pray this in Jesus name Amen!
00:39:03.20\00:39:04.73
You may be seated.
00:39:04.73\00:39:06.43
Thank you Holly, next we
have a video of an exciting
00:39:06.43\00:39:11.10
ministry called
Anchor Point Films,
00:39:11.10\00:39:13.83
so check out this video.
00:39:13.83\00:39:15.20
He went further and he
said alright let me see if I can
00:40:00.10\00:40:03.70
take 48 of these.
00:40:03.70\00:40:05.20
48 out of the 300?
00:40:05.20\00:40:06.66
1 with 157 zeros after it.
00:40:19.50\00:40:21.70
That number is so big,
just to give you an idea,
00:40:21.70\00:40:23.80
scientists have determined
that there are only 1 with
00:40:23.80\00:40:29.10
80 zeros after it
atoms in the entire universe.
00:40:29.10\00:40:32.46
That is not just our
planet, or our solar system,
00:40:32.46\00:40:35.50
or our galaxy, but the
entire universe only has
00:40:35.50\00:40:38.50
1 with 80 zeros after it.
00:40:38.50\00:40:41.73
What you've got in here
is you have got something so
00:40:41.73\00:40:45.66
remarkable that the
whole universe can't hold it,
00:40:45.66\00:40:49.56
in fact this is
what Peter Stoner said:
00:40:49.56\00:40:51.20
Crucifixion inflicted
by the Romans was the most
00:41:00.66\00:41:06.66
horrible punishment
that anybody could go
00:41:06.66\00:41:09.00
through at the time.
00:41:09.00\00:41:10.60
It was a type of
torture that was to bring death
00:41:10.60\00:41:13.80
but a slow death.
00:41:13.80\00:41:15.60
People were impelled
on a cross, or on a pole.
00:41:15.60\00:41:18.56
Nails were put through your
hands and through their feet.
00:41:18.56\00:41:23.43
The feet would have been
placed together, the nail would
00:41:23.43\00:41:28.26
have gone with one
single nail through both feet,
00:41:28.26\00:41:30.96
nailing those feet to the cross.
00:41:30.96\00:41:33.10
The individual then,
as he hung on the cross,
00:41:33.10\00:41:36.50
would have to lift
himself up every single time he
00:41:36.50\00:41:40.53
breathed on those
feet in order to allow
00:41:40.53\00:41:43.40
his diaphragm to expand.
00:41:43.40\00:41:45.10
Also their blood would
be actually burning inside,
00:41:45.10\00:41:48.36
like a burning sensation
because of the effect that
00:41:48.36\00:41:51.60
crucifixion
would have on the body.
00:41:51.60\00:41:53.70
So torture was in
several different stages.
00:41:53.70\00:41:56.46
It was completely
awful, it was suffocating,
00:41:56.46\00:41:59.73
it was the bloodcurdling
thirst that they were
00:41:59.73\00:42:02.90
feeling and it was meant
to be exactly that torture
00:42:02.90\00:42:07.66
and then eventually death.
00:42:07.66\00:42:09.60
Now there were some people
in the early Christian age
00:42:11.46\00:42:14.70
who didn't like the
fact that so many people were
00:42:14.70\00:42:17.90
becoming Christians
because of this passage.
00:42:17.90\00:42:20.23
Certain Jewish literature
had a curse on you if you
00:42:20.23\00:42:23.50
studied this prophecy
because I think it is very
00:42:23.50\00:42:27.76
powerful evidence pointing
to Jesus as the Messiah.
00:42:27.76\00:42:31.36
They were very threatened
by this passage because it
00:42:31.36\00:42:34.90
was too overwhelming, that
it pinpointed the individual
00:42:34.90\00:42:38.40
who was supposed to
come to the very year.
00:42:38.40\00:42:40.70
This is a ministry I am
especially excited about.
00:42:48.50\00:42:50.43
Pastor Asscherick
could you tell us about
00:42:50.43\00:42:51.93
this ministry began?
00:42:51.93\00:42:53.26
Well I had the privilege
of meeting Chad Kreuzer,
00:42:53.26\00:42:56.60
in 2000 in Grand Rapids, I
was conducting an evangelistic
00:42:56.60\00:43:00.13
meeting there as
a part of ASI Youth
00:43:00.13\00:43:02.53
for Jesus and this
spiky haired young kid came
00:43:02.53\00:43:06.36
walking into our
meetings and he decided to stick
00:43:06.36\00:43:10.16
around and be baptized.
00:43:10.16\00:43:11.70
This is him here, and
that was what, 9 years ago now.
00:43:11.70\00:43:16.76
After that you went away
and got some training and went
00:43:16.76\00:43:21.76
into full-time
evangelism and traveled around.
00:43:21.76\00:43:24.60
You did that for a number
of years and then in the last
00:43:24.60\00:43:27.90
2 or 3 years God has
given you a new burden.
00:43:27.90\00:43:32.00
Still an evangelist, preacher,
but what is going on now?
00:43:32.00\00:43:36.23
Well basically what happened
is we were doing evangelism
00:43:36.23\00:43:40.40
across the country
and in Europe and meeting
00:43:40.40\00:43:43.00
a lot of secular people.
00:43:43.00\00:43:44.56
Atheists, agnostics, and
people who didn't believe in
00:43:44.56\00:43:47.06
the Bible, and as we were
meeting them one of the common
00:43:47.06\00:43:49.43
themes we found with these
people is that they would say
00:43:49.43\00:43:51.73
things to us like...
00:43:51.73\00:43:52.80
We would share something
about the Bible, Daniel and
00:43:52.80\00:43:55.30
Revelation, and they
would say Awh, I saw that on the
00:43:55.30\00:43:57.73
Discovery Channel.
00:43:57.73\00:43:59.70
As we saw we began to
notice and thought why don't we
00:43:59.70\00:44:02.50
produce something that
looks similar to what they are
00:44:02.50\00:44:05.26
already used to seeing.
00:44:05.26\00:44:06.76
They are already interested
in watching and so we will
00:44:06.76\00:44:08.96
make something that looks
like that but instead of being
00:44:08.96\00:44:11.20
skeptical, like you see
on Discovery Channel, or the
00:44:11.20\00:44:13.60
history Channel, it is
something that uplifts the Bible
00:44:13.60\00:44:15.93
and our message,
the Adventist message.
00:44:15.93\00:44:18.10
This is what we've done
and we have discovered that it
00:44:18.10\00:44:20.23
is such an easy way.
00:44:20.23\00:44:21.40
I ask people the question,
you know I met the bank and
00:44:21.40\00:44:23.60
asked the banker, hey do
you ever watch documentaries?
00:44:23.60\00:44:25.76
Of course, oh yeah,
I love documentaries.
00:44:25.76\00:44:27.56
Would you watch
this if I gave it to you?
00:44:27.56\00:44:29.30
It is so very simple and
what we have begun to discover
00:44:29.30\00:44:31.50
with these is
as we put them out.
00:44:31.50\00:44:33.36
We have the first three
done, there will be about 20 in
00:44:33.36\00:44:36.16
this particular series
going through the major messages
00:44:36.16\00:44:38.80
like you see an evangelistic
meetings, but instead of
00:44:38.80\00:44:41.40
preaching, you have
archaeologist scholars and
00:44:41.40\00:44:44.33
people who have knowledge
of this particular subject.
00:44:44.33\00:44:48.10
That is basically
what we have been doing.
00:44:48.10\00:44:49.50
I remember Chad when you
called me up and said, hey we
00:44:49.50\00:44:52.73
want to come and shoot you
in which you help us to be a
00:44:52.73\00:44:55.30
part of this video
project, this was the first one.
00:44:55.30\00:44:57.80
I remember thinking to myself,
oh yeah Chad is my friend
00:44:57.80\00:45:01.50
and I'll help him out.
00:45:01.50\00:45:03.06
I thought he was going to
show up with this little video
00:45:03.06\00:45:05.00
camera angle like sooooooo.
00:45:05.00\00:45:07.76
He shows up and has all
this paraphernalia and the
00:45:07.76\00:45:11.30
lighting and it turned
out, well the production went
00:45:11.30\00:45:14.56
well and then I remember
when I got the first copy.
00:45:14.56\00:45:17.30
It was like the video is
done and people were actually
00:45:17.30\00:45:20.20
saying to me, have you
seen Chad and Vadieo's video?
00:45:20.20\00:45:23.03
Of course this is
Vadieo, his lovely wife,
00:45:23.03\00:45:25.03
she does talk but not today.
00:45:25.03\00:45:27.36
so people were saying,
Awh, have you seen the video?
00:45:29.56\00:45:31.46
I was like no I've not seen it.
00:45:31.46\00:45:33.40
People were
saying, oh it is amazing.
00:45:33.40\00:45:34.86
I remember when I first
saw it I was like, but the
00:45:34.86\00:45:39.00
thought that literally came
to my mind is this is legit.
00:45:39.00\00:45:42.83
So I got two copies for
free, but you cannot get them
00:45:42.83\00:45:46.60
for free, and I
gave it to my parents.
00:45:46.60\00:45:50.13
My parents are not Seventh-day
Adventist, they are not
00:45:50.13\00:45:52.53
Christians, and they
love, like you said, the history
00:45:52.53\00:45:54.93
Channel, the
Discovery Channel type thing.
00:45:54.93\00:45:57.16
I gave it to them totally legit.
00:45:57.16\00:45:59.83
They absolutely loved it
so Chad, tell us about that.
00:45:59.83\00:46:04.93
What is your training?
00:46:04.93\00:46:07.43
How do you go from being
an evangelist, a preacher,
00:46:07.43\00:46:10.13
a spiky haired kid coming
to my evangelistic meetings,
00:46:10.13\00:46:12.80
to producing these
amazing quality videos?
00:46:12.80\00:46:15.30
It was basically just a
need, I don't have a background
00:46:15.30\00:46:20.23
in film, I just can say
that for 19 years I watched like
00:46:20.23\00:46:25.13
several hours a day,
so I have years of film.
00:46:25.13\00:46:27.43
But basically from what I
used to watch and I look back on
00:46:27.43\00:46:32.83
it and learned from that.
00:46:32.83\00:46:34.00
You look at what you see
and I prayed about it and the
00:46:34.00\00:46:36.30
Lord basically gave me the
ability to do these things.
00:46:36.30\00:46:39.23
I really believe that if
God put something on your heart
00:46:39.23\00:46:42.13
He can give you the
ability to accomplish what
00:46:42.13\00:46:45.10
He's asking you to do.
00:46:45.10\00:46:46.60
