Please stand
with me for a prayer.
00:00:20.43\00:00:29.08
Dear Heavenly Father,
a group of Your children
00:00:29.09\00:00:32.31
are here to praise
You, because you are
00:00:32.32\00:00:35.00
our Creator and Redeemer.
00:00:35.01\00:00:38.16
To praise You,
because You give us
00:00:38.17\00:00:41.43
this opportunity to
be in ASI Convention.
00:00:41.44\00:00:45.15
Hearing so many
stories that tell us
00:00:45.16\00:00:49.27
about Your
mercy and love for us.
00:00:49.28\00:00:52.42
Please inspire
us to finish strong.
00:00:52.43\00:00:56.84
Bless us with Your
presence in our heart and minds,
00:00:56.85\00:01:01.82
in Jesus name, amen.
00:01:01.83\00:01:05.26
You may be seated.
00:01:05.27\00:01:06.55
Come, Come, Come, Come, Come
Come, Come, Come, Come, Come
00:01:28.79\00:01:35.49
Come, we that love the
Lord And let our joys be known
00:01:35.50\00:01:42.39
Join in a song with sweet accord

00:01:42.40\00:01:49.59
And thus surround the throne
And thus surround the throne
00:01:49.60\00:01:57.20
We're marching to Zion
Beautiful, beautiful Zion
00:01:57.21\00:02:04.42
We're marching upward to
Zion The beautiful city of God
00:02:04.43\00:02:11.07
We're marching

We're marching

00:02:14.82\00:02:18.96
The hill of Zion yields
A thousand sacred sweets
00:02:21.06\00:02:28.64
Before we reach
the heavenly fields
00:02:28.65\00:02:32.37
Before we reach
the heavenly fields
00:02:32.38\00:02:36.19
Or walk the golden streets

We're marching,

We're marching to Zion

We're marching upward to

00:03:40.55\00:03:48.33
The beautiful city of God. Amen.
00:03:48.34\00:04:00.07
Good afternoon
everyone. Good afternoon.
00:04:11.34\00:04:13.87
Have we not been
blessed today by the many,
00:04:13.88\00:04:17.56
many facets of our program?
00:04:17.57\00:04:19.96
All the comments
I've had been positive
00:04:19.97\00:04:23.00
and we rejoice
what the Lord is doing
00:04:23.01\00:04:26.02
through the
combination of lay people
00:04:26.03\00:04:29.80
and the Seventh-day
Adventist denomination.
00:04:29.81\00:04:32.84
We are all part of the church.
00:04:32.85\00:04:34.73
Some of us get paid
by the denomination,
00:04:34.74\00:04:36.81
some of us get paid,
otherwise by the Lord.
00:04:36.82\00:04:39.50
I have with me on
the platform today
00:04:39.51\00:04:42.23
Elder Jim Pedersen, who is
00:04:42.24\00:04:44.12
President of the
local conference,
00:04:44.13\00:04:45.66
President of the
Northern California Conference.
00:04:45.67\00:04:48.36
I think we have about
40,000 members down in Northern.
00:04:48.37\00:04:51.48
And our theme this afternoon
00:04:51.49\00:04:53.73
which we're going to highlight.
00:04:53.74\00:04:54.80
By the way I
have Elder Mike Ryan,
00:04:54.81\00:04:57.17
who is Vice President
of the General Conference
00:04:57.18\00:04:59.10
to represent
different levels of the church.
00:04:59.11\00:05:02.20
But our theme
today, this afternoon
00:05:02.21\00:05:04.73
the next two hours is
how our supporting ministries
00:05:04.74\00:05:08.70
are involved
actively in supporting,
00:05:08.71\00:05:12.71
that's the support
word of the church.
00:05:12.72\00:05:15.87
We have a
perspective of our conference,
00:05:15.88\00:05:18.08
with our Conference
President who can tell you
00:05:18.09\00:05:20.95
his experience and perspective
and advice if you have it.
00:05:20.96\00:05:25.20
And then we'll get
it from the world level.
00:05:25.21\00:05:27.56
My experience as a layman is
00:05:27.57\00:05:29.58
that we're all
part of the same church.
00:05:29.59\00:05:32.84
We have a heart
that beats the same way.
00:05:32.85\00:05:37.00
We have the same objectives
00:05:37.01\00:05:38.97
and we have a little different
job description, that's all.
00:05:38.98\00:05:42.30
Elder Pedersen,
would you share with us.
00:05:42.31\00:05:44.71
Well, first of
all let me welcome you
00:05:44.72\00:05:46.25
to the beautiful
Northern California Conference.
00:05:46.26\00:05:48.51
It is a joy to
extent greetings on
00:05:48.52\00:05:50.91
behalf of almost
40,000 Seventh-day Adventist
00:05:50.92\00:05:53.12
in this territory.
00:05:53.13\00:05:54.25
It's good to welcome
ASI back to Sacramento,
00:05:54.26\00:05:57.31
and it's a
pleasure to have the current
00:05:57.32\00:05:59.47
President for the
next few hours anyway,
00:05:59.48\00:06:02.15
also as a member
00:06:02.16\00:06:03.13
of the Northern
California Conference.
00:06:03.14\00:06:05.32
We have a number
of ASI ministries here
00:06:05.33\00:06:08.22
in our territory,
and it is a joy to work
00:06:08.23\00:06:10.50
with each and everyone.
00:06:10.51\00:06:11.91
We are partnered
with a number of them
00:06:11.92\00:06:13.94
through the years.
00:06:14.59\00:06:15.56
I currently serve
as the Board Chair
00:06:15.57\00:06:17.16
for Amazing
Facts and Weimar board.
00:06:17.17\00:06:20.39
And we've also had
the opportunity to partner
00:06:20.40\00:06:23.08
with Maranatha
Volunteers International
00:06:23.09\00:06:25.49
just a few years ago.
00:06:25.50\00:06:26.64
We set a goal of
sponsoring 25 churches
00:06:26.65\00:06:30.68
that needed to be
built in the country
00:06:30.69\00:06:32.94
of Mozambique
and as a conference
00:06:32.95\00:06:34.94
we took that on as a goal.
00:06:34.95\00:06:36.25
And it's such a
pleasure and it was
00:06:36.26\00:06:38.01
such a joy to work with them
00:06:38.02\00:06:39.86
and to see that
happen and see things come
00:06:39.87\00:06:42.53
to fruition and we are
working with them again
00:06:42.54\00:06:44.93
to see what our next
project is going to be.
00:06:44.94\00:06:47.85
The focus of working
together and have cooperation
00:06:47.86\00:06:50.93
really to me comes
out of the experience
00:06:50.94\00:06:54.05
of Jesus prayer, there
in the Garden of Gethsemane,
00:06:54.06\00:06:56.70
where He prayed to His Father,
00:06:56.71\00:06:58.09
that you and I be one,
and that unity of the spirit,
00:06:58.10\00:07:03.65
that unity of believers
is seen in so many ways
00:07:03.66\00:07:07.47
and this what Jesus is
calling us too of cooperation,
00:07:07.48\00:07:10.97
of communication
of working together
00:07:10.98\00:07:13.11
for the Kingdom of God
and the soon return of Jesus.
00:07:13.12\00:07:16.31
Thank you very
much Elder Pedersen.
00:07:16.32\00:07:19.22
Mike, you have a
broad perspective,
00:07:19.23\00:07:22.05
you've been a lot of
places and done a lot of things.
00:07:22.06\00:07:23.96
Would you share with us from
an international perspective,
00:07:23.97\00:07:26.79
what you believe about
the supporting ministries
00:07:26.80\00:07:30.70
working
together with the church?
00:07:30.71\00:07:32.00
Thank you, thank you very much.
00:07:32.01\00:07:33.46
It's good to be
here, you know I'm happy
00:07:33.47\00:07:35.27
to be a member of this church
00:07:35.28\00:07:36.64
that has a
theology that believes
00:07:36.65\00:07:39.04
in the priesthood of
believers. What does that mean?
00:07:39.05\00:07:42.50
What that means is,
is that every person
00:07:42.51\00:07:45.48
who claims to be a
Seventh-day Adventist
00:07:45.49\00:07:48.62
becomes a disciple and
an ambassador of the gospel
00:07:48.63\00:07:51.85
and there is
responsibility there.
00:07:51.86\00:07:54.83
You know I've had the
privilege of traveling
00:07:54.84\00:07:57.32
to many, many
places in the world.
00:07:57.33\00:07:59.16
And what a thrill
it is to go there,
00:07:59.17\00:08:01.04
and to find that there
are supporting ministries
00:08:01.05\00:08:03.93
who are
partnering with the church.
00:08:03.94\00:08:06.15
Now, you know, when
you are in North America,
00:08:06.16\00:08:08.14
you have a lot of
things taking place.
00:08:08.15\00:08:10.67
But when you are in
countries like Mongolia,
00:08:10.68\00:08:15.33
you are just
happy when people come.
00:08:15.34\00:08:17.95
I remember at when I first came
00:08:17.96\00:08:19.83
to the General
Conference in 1990
00:08:19.84\00:08:21.86
and they gave me this
list of unentered countries.
00:08:21.87\00:08:25.45
And I remember
looking at the list,
00:08:25.46\00:08:27.16
and we were trying to decide,
00:08:27.17\00:08:28.49
well, how in the world
we were gonna go about this?
00:08:28.50\00:08:30.65
You know what a, what
a joy it was to realize
00:08:30.66\00:08:35.06
that there were
supporting ministers
00:08:35.07\00:08:36.36
that were partnering with us.
00:08:36.37\00:08:37.88
I remember getting
off of the airplane
00:08:37.89\00:08:40.68
and being met by a
supporting ministry in Mongolia.
00:08:40.69\00:08:44.32
And I think
probably most of you know
00:08:44.33\00:08:45.88
that story and they're the ones
00:08:45.89\00:08:48.05
who started the church there.
00:08:48.06\00:08:49.50
They develop the literature,
they did the Bible studies,
00:08:49.51\00:08:52.19
they organize the church.
00:08:52.20\00:08:53.66
And what a thrill it
was to partner with them.
00:08:53.67\00:08:58.08
I know that as you
walk through the booth area,
00:08:58.09\00:09:03.24
you can look at all of
the supporting ministries.
00:09:03.25\00:09:05.95
I want to assure you that
00:09:05.96\00:09:09.40
the Seventh-day
Adventist Church values
00:09:09.41\00:09:12.10
the resource of
ASI and the ministries
00:09:12.11\00:09:17.52
that are partners
in this initiative.
00:09:17.53\00:09:20.51
I also want to thank
you on behalf of the church.
00:09:20.52\00:09:23.77
And you know I believe
that commonly we believe
00:09:23.78\00:09:25.60
that Jesus is coming again.
Thank you for your commitment.
00:09:25.61\00:09:28.25
Thank you for your support.
00:09:28.26\00:09:32.07
Thank you very much
Elder Pedersen and Ryan.
00:09:32.08\00:09:35.05
We are a part of the
church, we serve willingly,
00:09:35.06\00:09:38.70
we just have a
different paycheck,
00:09:38.71\00:09:40.16
our paycheck comes from
the Lord in some other way.
00:09:40.17\00:09:43.51
Stay tune this
afternoon, we have some more
00:09:43.52\00:09:46.64
good interviews,
some more good music
00:09:46.65\00:09:48.64
and wonderful
inspiration to follow.
00:09:48.65\00:09:53.33
Joel and Joyce
Meyer's have chosen
00:09:53.34\00:09:57.10
as a family to
serve in the Navajo nation
00:09:57.11\00:10:00.51
in Monument Valley,
where our denomination
00:10:00.52\00:10:02.81
used to operate a hospital.
00:10:02.82\00:10:04.93
What is it that
prepared you folks to be able
00:10:04.94\00:10:07.35
to serve in this unique
mission for the Navajo people?
00:10:07.36\00:10:11.15
We spent seven years
in the country of Nepal,
00:10:11.16\00:10:15.33
planting the church
there among the Nepali people.
00:10:15.34\00:10:19.68
Oh, what kind of work did you do
00:10:19.69\00:10:22.83
that was similar to what you're
doing now among the Navajo?
00:10:22.84\00:10:26.70
We were doing health
and medical machinery work
00:10:26.71\00:10:32.17
out in the
mountains and also training
00:10:32.18\00:10:37.55
in agriculture and
development in that area.
00:10:37.56\00:10:43.54
Yeah, what are the particular
needs of the Navajo people?
00:10:43.55\00:10:47.34
Do you're working with now?
00:10:47.35\00:10:49.61
There is huge need
in the area of health,
00:10:49.62\00:10:54.77
two-thirds of adult Navajo's
00:10:54.78\00:10:57.94
have type II
diabetes, two-thirds.
00:10:57.95\00:11:03.22
And there are also,
there is a high rate
00:11:03.23\00:11:08.50
of addictions to
alcohol and other substances
00:11:08.51\00:11:13.48
that and also the
needs in their families
00:11:13.49\00:11:18.21
to understand how
to raise their children
00:11:18.22\00:11:21.78
is also a huge need.
00:11:21.79\00:11:25.50
What was that
depressed your family to come
00:11:25.51\00:11:28.73
and serve in the Navajo's?
00:11:28.74\00:11:32.30
We, in Nepal we had worked
00:11:32.31\00:11:37.13
where they were Mongolian tribes
00:11:37.14\00:11:40.38
and the Navajo's have
their roots in Mongolia.
00:11:40.39\00:11:45.38
They came across
the Bering Strait
00:11:45.39\00:11:47.63
and so we saw many similarities
00:11:47.64\00:11:52.42
and after we had
come back and taken
00:11:52.43\00:11:55.17
some training at Uchee Pines.
00:11:55.18\00:11:57.34
Our children just
felt a immediate bond
00:11:57.35\00:12:03.38
with the Navajo
people as we traveled
00:12:03.39\00:12:05.64
through Navajo country.
00:12:05.65\00:12:07.91
So you really
allow this family service
00:12:07.92\00:12:12.04
to be a complete family unit.
00:12:12.05\00:12:14.76
I mean you didn't
just make the decision say,
00:12:14.77\00:12:17.29
hey kids, we're going here.
00:12:17.30\00:12:19.12
That's right. We actually,
00:12:19.13\00:12:20.86
we're praying
together and actually when I--
00:12:20.87\00:12:27.03
when we visited the
desolate area of Southern Utah,
00:12:27.04\00:12:32.30
I'm really a gardener
and agriculturist at heart,
00:12:32.31\00:12:36.32
it was so barren, oh I just,
00:12:36.33\00:12:40.23
I don't think I
could possibly come here.
00:12:40.24\00:12:44.14
But my girls, they
were just convinced
00:12:44.15\00:12:47.34
that this is where
God wanted us to be.
00:12:47.35\00:12:49.90
And then of
course I did discover
00:12:49.91\00:12:51.77
that you could grow
things real well there also.
00:12:51.78\00:12:55.56
Well, a year for, a
year or two from now,
00:12:55.57\00:12:57.78
how would you picture,
00:12:57.79\00:12:59.43
what your ministry
is gonna look like?
00:12:59.44\00:13:04.57
I'd like my wife to be able
to share little bit about that.
00:13:04.58\00:13:08.24
Well, things are really
starting to happen there,
00:13:08.25\00:13:11.02
we're really excited about
that. We have things today,
00:13:11.03\00:13:13.90
Octagon Health
Centre is about where
00:13:13.91\00:13:16.87
it's going to
be opening shortly.
00:13:16.88\00:13:18.82
And so we'll have
that with the treatments
00:13:18.83\00:13:22.56
for the diabetes and
various diseases there.
00:13:22.57\00:13:26.16
We found that it
really is helpful in reaching
00:13:26.17\00:13:29.96
the traditional type people.
00:13:29.97\00:13:31.96
And we also are
planning a greenhouse
00:13:31.97\00:13:34.69
and a garden and
we're also going to
00:13:34.70\00:13:39.09
be doing some things to
like building various things
00:13:39.10\00:13:43.86
that can be sold there,
that will help with the industry
00:13:43.87\00:13:46.81
and also the school, is
really progressing there,
00:13:46.82\00:13:50.46
we're getting more students
00:13:50.47\00:13:51.55
and we are having
more programs with that.
00:13:51.56\00:13:54.27
Did you say your
health center is an Octagon?
00:13:54.28\00:13:57.49
Yes, that's the shape that
the, all the healing places
00:13:57.50\00:14:01.33
on the Navajo nation are
either Hogans or Octagons.
00:14:01.34\00:14:05.06
And so when we
built it, we decided to go
00:14:05.07\00:14:07.28
with the Octagon shape,
00:14:07.29\00:14:08.30
so it will be
comfortable for them.
00:14:08.31\00:14:10.91
Have you had community
involvement and its helping --
00:14:10.92\00:14:14.22
Yes, we had.
00:14:15.96\00:14:18.21
One of our local gentlemen
that is really good with stucco.
00:14:18.22\00:14:22.86
He came around
just around the time
00:14:22.87\00:14:24.74
that we needed to do the stucco.
00:14:24.75\00:14:26.95
And I was not
familiar with doing stucco,
00:14:26.96\00:14:29.86
because I learned back
in the east and he said,
00:14:29.87\00:14:34.41
when are you gonna
do that stucco? I said,
00:14:34.42\00:14:36.58
well, we really
need to get it done.
00:14:36.59\00:14:38.03
But I said, all of
the work has been done
00:14:38.04\00:14:40.03
with volunteers and he
left and few days later
00:14:40.04\00:14:44.21
he came back he said,
00:14:44.22\00:14:45.74
I really want to
help you with that,
00:14:45.75\00:14:47.22
I'm gonna be here on Monday.
00:14:47.23\00:14:49.37
Toward the end, he
helped us for three weeks,
00:14:49.38\00:14:52.03
toward the end of
that time, he, I asked him,
00:14:52.04\00:14:56.19
Carl, why are
doing this? He said well,
00:14:56.20\00:14:58.44
I can see that you are
here to help my community
00:14:58.45\00:15:03.27
and I just want
to be a part of it.
00:15:03.28\00:15:05.47
How did your children been
able to take an active part?
00:15:05.48\00:15:08.24
They've been able to
help, Joanna, here on the left
00:15:08.25\00:15:12.20
has been teaching
cello and she also works
00:15:12.21\00:15:15.10
with the health
program and a camp program.
00:15:15.11\00:15:17.48
Mark has been
working with the Hay Ministry
00:15:17.49\00:15:19.95
and the people
there just love him.
00:15:19.96\00:15:21.54
They say, he
really response the best,
00:15:21.55\00:15:23.49
they just really
enjoy that, that's Mark.
00:15:23.50\00:15:25.76
And then Joella is
going to be leading out
00:15:25.77\00:15:28.54
in our health center.
00:15:28.55\00:15:30.91
And I wanted to just share a
story real quick about Loretta,
00:15:30.92\00:15:34.27
she, one of our
friends here, she came
00:15:34.28\00:15:40.03
and she was
getting hay and then we,
00:15:40.04\00:15:41.76
when we were
doing health programs,
00:15:41.77\00:15:43.73
we had a lot of
mission trips coming
00:15:43.74\00:15:45.36
that wanted to get
close to the people.
00:15:45.37\00:15:47.64
And so we said, let's
do something different,
00:15:47.65\00:15:49.51
let's take the
groups out into their homes.
00:15:49.52\00:15:51.84
And let them get
acquainted with the people
00:15:51.85\00:15:53.68
and help them on the home level.
00:15:53.69\00:15:55.55
And so we created
seminars to do that way
00:15:55.56\00:15:58.34
and we had them
focused on hydrotherapy,
00:15:58.35\00:16:00.14
cooking
schools, health education
00:16:00.15\00:16:02.64
and sharing
spiritual things with them.
00:16:02.65\00:16:04.50
Loretta was one of the
homes, we went out there.
00:16:04.51\00:16:06.87
And when we were
doing the treatments,
00:16:06.88\00:16:09.22
now she is a staunch traditional
00:16:09.23\00:16:11.00
and that means they follow
the traditional Navajo customs.
00:16:11.01\00:16:16.39
And they are not really
favorable to Christianity.
00:16:16.40\00:16:18.97
So when they did the
hard foot bash she said,
00:16:18.98\00:16:21.22
wow! It just
like the medicine man,
00:16:21.23\00:16:25.15
you know, they dig
a hole in the sand,
00:16:25.16\00:16:26.62
put your feet in the
hard ash, wrap you up,
00:16:26.63\00:16:29.36
put clothes on your
head when you sweat.
00:16:29.37\00:16:31.35
When we did the fermentations,
00:16:31.36\00:16:33.11
they said the same thing you're
just like the medicine man.
00:16:33.12\00:16:36.14
And it has been a
real born in experience
00:16:36.15\00:16:38.72
and even the traditional
people in the community,
00:16:38.73\00:16:41.89
now they hear about that
and they say we'll even send
00:16:41.90\00:16:44.10
our kids to your school,
because you are like one of us.
00:16:44.11\00:16:46.81
The health message is the
opening wedge that enters,
00:16:46.82\00:16:49.64
that opens their hearts.
00:16:49.65\00:16:51.67
They have lots of
stories on how they have been
00:16:51.68\00:16:54.66
impacting lives
in Navajo people.
00:16:54.67\00:16:56.59
So take him aside as you
see them walk in the hall,
00:16:56.60\00:16:59.53
incidentally could you use
anymore musical instruments
00:16:59.54\00:17:02.48
in your music program?
It would be a real blessing.
00:17:02.49\00:17:04.95
We don't have
enough for everyone
00:17:04.96\00:17:06.05
to have one right now,
and if you have an extra one,
00:17:06.06\00:17:09.08
you would like to share
especially cellos and violins
00:17:09.09\00:17:11.64
and perhaps some
flutes, we'll be delighted.
00:17:11.65\00:17:13.98
Thank you very much
Meyer family. Bless you.
00:17:13.99\00:17:17.40
Dr. John Torquato is
a Loma Linda graduate
00:17:22.11\00:17:26.43
class of 1998.
00:17:26.44\00:17:28.49
And he is board
certified in family medicine.
00:17:28.50\00:17:31.90
The patients flock
to his clinic at Hayden,
00:17:31.91\00:17:36.03
Hayden Lake in Idaho
close to Coeur d'Alene.
00:17:36.04\00:17:39.05
And they come to
learn about better health.
00:17:39.06\00:17:42.26
But the unique way
that they have been sharing
00:17:42.27\00:17:44.89
Christ in the
marketplace is something
00:17:44.90\00:17:46.99
you want to know about.
00:17:47.00\00:17:48.41
And he is joined
today by Pastor Doug Venn,
00:17:48.42\00:17:51.13
who is his pastor and
partner in this operation.
00:17:51.14\00:17:54.14
Dr. John, please
tell me, how you determine
00:17:54.15\00:17:57.89
to become a medical
missionary in this country?
00:17:57.90\00:18:01.15
When I was in high school,
00:18:01.16\00:18:02.78
I met a man who
gave me Bible studies.
00:18:02.79\00:18:05.42
He was a
Seventh-day Adventist physician
00:18:05.43\00:18:06.99
and he came to give
Bible studies in my home.
00:18:07.00\00:18:09.92
And I determine to
be like him one day.
00:18:09.93\00:18:13.33
Well is he the person
that contributed directly
00:18:13.34\00:18:16.16
to your conversion story then?
00:18:16.17\00:18:17.62
He is the man who
brought me to Christ
00:18:17.63\00:18:19.46
and he was a man who became
my father-in-law years later.
00:18:19.47\00:18:26.63
How does your pastor
fit into the community mix
00:18:26.64\00:18:29.16
when you are
invited to come and speak?
00:18:29.17\00:18:30.93
Well, whenever we
have an invitation to come
00:18:30.94\00:18:34.37
to the community, I would
let the community leaders,
00:18:34.38\00:18:37.00
or the people in community know,
00:18:37.01\00:18:38.69
I would be happy to
come and talk to you,
00:18:38.70\00:18:40.14
but my pastor goes with me.
00:18:40.15\00:18:42.19
For instance, the pastor
one day he said you know,
00:18:42.20\00:18:45.83
I really like to
get a chance to meet
00:18:45.84\00:18:48.66
some of the fraternities
00:18:48.67\00:18:50.41
at the Washington
State University campus.
00:18:50.42\00:18:56.01
And it's really kind of hard
to get in there sometimes, and--
00:18:56.02\00:18:59.26
So they don't like to
hear the preacher, do they?
00:18:59.27\00:19:02.25
At times they don't.
00:19:02.26\00:19:03.71
And so, I calls
one of the fraternities
00:19:03.72\00:19:06.09
and I said would you guys
like to have an HIV lecture
00:19:06.10\00:19:09.33
from our local
family practice physician.
00:19:09.34\00:19:11.67
They said, what's the
cost? And I said it's free.
00:19:11.68\00:19:14.92
They said, oh
yeah. And I said okay.
00:19:14.93\00:19:17.06
But I'm gonna send my pastor,
00:19:17.07\00:19:18.75
his day job is a
pastor but at night time
00:19:18.76\00:19:20.69
he does my audio visual stuff.
00:19:20.70\00:19:22.23
And they said
fine, send him over.
00:19:22.24\00:19:24.66
I went over and I sent
Pastor Doug to this fraternity
00:19:24.67\00:19:28.85
he had a chance to
setup the equipment,
00:19:28.86\00:19:30.92
spend some time
with the fraternity guys
00:19:30.93\00:19:33.20
that were hanging around.
00:19:33.21\00:19:34.78
And then I did an HIV lecture
00:19:34.79\00:19:36.07
that was just a hard
hitting graphic lecture.
00:19:36.08\00:19:38.84
These guys have like
the deer-in-the-headlights
00:19:38.85\00:19:41.28
look in their face.
00:19:41.29\00:19:42.95
And afterwards I
started taking questions.
00:19:42.96\00:19:45.78
And of course
eventually we came around
00:19:45.79\00:19:47.73
to some
questions on relationship.
00:19:47.74\00:19:48.98
And I said, you know,
I happen to have somebody
00:19:48.99\00:19:50.61
here who is an expert
00:19:50.62\00:19:52.23
on relationships
within the family.
00:19:52.24\00:19:54.21
Let me have Pastor Doug
Venn come and talk to you
00:19:54.22\00:19:56.80
about his perspective on this
00:19:56.81\00:19:59.46
and thus Pastor Venn
was able to take over.
00:19:59.47\00:20:01.68
That's right, and it
was so exciting to see
00:20:01.69\00:20:04.19
how the health message
was able to open the doors
00:20:04.20\00:20:07.77
and we were able to
minister practically to these,
00:20:07.78\00:20:11.03
practically, you know, parting
hard hitting young adults
00:20:11.04\00:20:14.92
there at
Washington State University
00:20:14.93\00:20:16.53
and University of Idaho.
00:20:16.54\00:20:18.25
You know, I have found
that people do business
00:20:18.26\00:20:21.15
with people they like.
00:20:21.16\00:20:23.01
And when they can get
acquainted with the pastor,
00:20:23.02\00:20:25.21
that would have
been completely outside
00:20:25.22\00:20:27.13
their social spirit,
it's a unique opportunity.
00:20:27.14\00:20:30.46
That's right and we
even had a chance to,
00:20:30.47\00:20:32.31
I got to, through
that relationship,
00:20:32.32\00:20:34.79
there was a one young
adult couple where I got to do
00:20:34.80\00:20:37.61
counseling with and
then we packed the church
00:20:37.62\00:20:40.26
with a whole bunch of
Greeks and that was an awesome
00:20:40.27\00:20:42.74
time to preach the
gospel there at that wedding.
00:20:42.75\00:20:47.93
What kinds of
organizations quickly
00:20:47.94\00:20:50.23
have you had a chance to
minister too in the community?
00:20:50.24\00:20:54.10
Well, after Doug taught
me about the fraternities,
00:20:54.11\00:20:57.40
one day he was just musing.
00:20:57.41\00:20:59.77
I'd like to be able to talk to
00:20:59.78\00:21:00.75
some other
people in the community,
00:21:00.76\00:21:02.82
who are community leaders.
00:21:02.83\00:21:04.42
So I called up the city hall
00:21:04.43\00:21:05.79
in the county commissioner's
office and I said,
00:21:05.80\00:21:08.14
would you guys like to have
00:21:08.15\00:21:09.63
a corporate
level wellness program?
00:21:09.64\00:21:11.71
And they said
well, sure we would be,
00:21:11.72\00:21:13.34
but what's the cost?
And I said, well, it's free.
00:21:13.35\00:21:15.97
And they said
well, yeah, come on over.
00:21:15.98\00:21:18.41
And I said well, before I
come over I got to tell you,
00:21:18.42\00:21:20.89
my pastor goes
with wherever I go,
00:21:20.90\00:21:22.45
he is my audio visual guy
and so he is going to come
00:21:22.46\00:21:25.32
setup a booth for me,
we're gonna do a health
00:21:25.33\00:21:27.44
and wellness program for you.
00:21:27.45\00:21:29.11
They said okay, we
are not sure but okay.
00:21:29.12\00:21:31.81
So we went over to the
county commissioner's office,
00:21:31.82\00:21:34.29
to Sheriff's office and we
spend some time teaching them
00:21:34.30\00:21:37.51
about the eight natural
remedies about the things
00:21:37.52\00:21:40.61
that we know to do
in Adventist medicine,
00:21:40.62\00:21:43.04
we use Donna Halls
material, we use Ned,
00:21:43.05\00:21:45.51
Ned Natalie's
material and they loved it,
00:21:45.52\00:21:47.68
it was tremendous
and after doing these
00:21:47.69\00:21:50.47
three or four different
times over a period of the year.
00:21:50.48\00:21:52.86
One day I got a phone
call, they said Dr. Torquato,
00:21:52.87\00:21:56.14
we would like to
have a meeting of
00:21:56.15\00:21:59.07
all the county commissioners
in the State of Idaho.
00:21:59.08\00:22:01.57
And we would like
to invite you to come
00:22:01.58\00:22:03.99
and do a presentation
to them and their staff
00:22:04.00\00:22:05.76
and the social workers
from all those counties.
00:22:05.77\00:22:08.26
And I said well, that's fine.
00:22:08.27\00:22:09.61
But you know the
deal and he said,
00:22:09.62\00:22:10.76
yeah I know, I know, I know.
00:22:10.77\00:22:12.05
Your pastor always
goes wherever you go.
00:22:12.06\00:22:14.68
And I said that's fine.
00:22:14.69\00:22:16.92
So they said fine, we
know him, we like him.
00:22:16.93\00:22:20.04
We know what he is like,
we know what you are like?
00:22:20.05\00:22:21.76
Come and spend sometime
teaching us and so we did.
00:22:21.77\00:22:24.46
I did an half an
hour presentation
00:22:24.47\00:22:26.17
to all the county commissioners
00:22:26.18\00:22:27.58
in the State of
Idaho and Pastor Doug Venn
00:22:27.59\00:22:29.95
did the Adventist
version of the seven habits
00:22:29.96\00:22:32.64
of highly successful people
and one of those habits was
00:22:32.65\00:22:36.04
"Time with your maker."
00:22:36.05\00:22:38.06
And when we are
finished, one of the ladies
00:22:38.07\00:22:39.59
that was in the group
came forward and she says,
00:22:39.60\00:22:41.91
you know, I have been working
with my county commissioner
00:22:41.92\00:22:43.78
for the last five
years, and in that time
00:22:43.79\00:22:46.85
they don't know
that I'm an Adventist
00:22:46.86\00:22:49.57
and they said, she said--
00:22:49.58\00:22:51.41
Closet Adventist, you've
ever hear about one of those?
00:22:51.42\00:22:54.19
She came forward, she says,
00:22:54.20\00:22:55.20
I feel that you've
done more in the hour
00:22:55.21\00:22:57.89
that you spent with my staff
00:22:57.90\00:23:00.03
than I have in that five years,
00:23:00.04\00:23:01.25
I feel call to do
something for them.
00:23:01.26\00:23:03.14
Amen, amen. And pastor
00:23:03.15\00:23:04.74
what its feel like partnering
with the physician quickly.
00:23:04.75\00:23:07.86
Well, through this
partnership that we had
00:23:07.87\00:23:10.49
there in the
Moscow and Pullman area.
00:23:10.50\00:23:12.76
It was so exciting
to see how the doors
00:23:12.77\00:23:14.78
just were blowing open to
give us access to minister
00:23:14.79\00:23:18.49
and to serve the
community in practical ways,
00:23:18.50\00:23:21.38
whether it's
with the young people
00:23:21.39\00:23:23.18
or with the thought leaders
and our public civil servants.
00:23:23.19\00:23:26.21
It was just so
exciting to see how,
00:23:26.22\00:23:28.33
the working together
with Health Evangelism
00:23:28.34\00:23:31.73
or this Miracle Missionary
work open those doors.
00:23:31.74\00:23:35.01
It also was exciting to see
then one of my church members,
00:23:35.02\00:23:39.52
you know, Dr. Torquato,
as a physician helping him
00:23:39.53\00:23:42.69
to focus on the gospel
ministry and evangelism
00:23:42.70\00:23:46.64
and that just, just
gave me such excitement.
00:23:46.65\00:23:50.24
So you two kept
each other balance then.
00:23:50.25\00:23:52.47
That's right, that's
right, it's kind of a tag team.
00:23:52.48\00:23:54.99
Super, super. I
have found that sometimes
00:23:55.00\00:23:57.88
that pastors really don't
know how to recruit a physician,
00:23:57.89\00:24:01.69
they know they
look at them as somebody
00:24:01.70\00:24:04.00
that's gonna help
with their budget, right.
00:24:04.01\00:24:06.81
And it's true
that Doug, many times,
00:24:06.82\00:24:10.98
that's the role
the pastors, you know,
00:24:10.99\00:24:13.21
view it the physicians that way.
00:24:13.22\00:24:15.57
But we are told in the
writings of Ellen White
00:24:15.58\00:24:18.15
that the
physician and we as pastors
00:24:18.16\00:24:21.31
are to partnered
together because Jesus Christ
00:24:21.32\00:24:23.59
when He
ministered here on earth,
00:24:23.60\00:24:25.93
He had a blended ministry,
He combined medical work
00:24:25.94\00:24:29.46
and healing
with the gospel work.
00:24:29.47\00:24:31.76
And so that way we
can model that together
00:24:31.77\00:24:34.46
as we work together and
so that was awesome to do.
00:24:34.47\00:24:37.53
An example, do you have
any example of something
00:24:37.54\00:24:40.10
significant has come
out of your practice that
00:24:40.11\00:24:42.94
where you could see God's
hand involved with the patient?
00:24:42.95\00:24:45.57
Certainly, one episode
where the pastoral influence
00:24:45.58\00:24:49.11
was seen from front to the
end was a patient who came in
00:24:49.12\00:24:53.22
and essentially accosted
me in the consultation room,
00:24:53.23\00:24:57.89
a University of
Idaho professor angry,
00:24:57.90\00:25:00.94
because his wife who
had advanced disease had,
00:25:00.95\00:25:05.24
had essentially
avoided scientific medicine,
00:25:05.25\00:25:07.98
because of her fear of the
way she was going to be treated.
00:25:07.99\00:25:10.94
And he basically put
his finger in my nose
00:25:10.95\00:25:12.93
and accosted me and
it was the spirit of God
00:25:12.94\00:25:16.04
through the
opportunity in the morning,
00:25:16.05\00:25:18.13
we had to worship
together that gave
00:25:18.14\00:25:20.37
that soft answer in return.
00:25:20.38\00:25:22.54
And then when I went back in,
00:25:22.55\00:25:24.50
the patient was
preparing for their exam
00:25:24.51\00:25:26.14
and I went back and I was
kind of complaining to my,
00:25:26.15\00:25:28.55
my co-worker, I said, you know,
00:25:28.56\00:25:30.73
they don't even
know if they like me
00:25:30.74\00:25:31.87
and they don't like
doctors and I got to do
00:25:31.88\00:25:34.29
and how I'm gonna bless
them and my partner said to me,
00:25:34.30\00:25:37.98
you're gonna be with
that woman when she dies
00:25:37.99\00:25:39.80
if she is bad as she is.
00:25:39.81\00:25:41.92
If she is as bad
as what you think,
00:25:41.93\00:25:43.83
she is going to be
dead in just a little while.
00:25:43.84\00:25:46.59
And you're gonna be
there, that is your job
00:25:46.60\00:25:49.07
and the pastoral
concept of accountability
00:25:49.08\00:25:51.55
and ministry came forward.
00:25:51.56\00:25:53.22
And then when I saw
the patient and examined,
00:25:53.23\00:25:55.34
she had such
terrible disfigurement
00:25:55.35\00:25:58.67
and terrible disease
and humiliating for a woman.
00:25:58.68\00:26:02.11
It was just terrible and
when I was talking to her
00:26:02.12\00:26:06.73
and working with her recognizing
00:26:06.74\00:26:09.85
how difficult it was I said,
00:26:09.86\00:26:11.07
we need to see
you multiple times
00:26:11.08\00:26:12.95
in order to keep
kind of tabs on you.
00:26:12.96\00:26:14.94
And so I started
seeing her frequently
00:26:14.95\00:26:16.61
first every two weeks
and then every month or so.
00:26:16.62\00:26:19.63
And then one day
she came and she said,
00:26:19.64\00:26:20.84
"I am having a
problem." I said, what's that?
00:26:20.85\00:26:22.18
She says, "I am
having a discharge".
00:26:22.19\00:26:23.79
I said, well, I
need to do an examine.
00:26:23.80\00:26:25.48
No, you're not doing an exam,
you're in charge, you know,
00:26:25.49\00:26:27.71
what I'm looking
for, you got cancer.
00:26:27.72\00:26:29.79
She says, "No, you are
not going to do an examine.
00:26:29.80\00:26:31.56
Next time, next month
she comes back, she says,
00:26:31.57\00:26:33.66
"I am having a
little blood in my urine."
00:26:33.67\00:26:36.06
I said well, I
got to do an exam.
00:26:36.07\00:26:37.60
No, you're not
going to do an exam.
00:26:37.61\00:26:39.39
I said, fine you're in charge,
00:26:39.40\00:26:40.65
but you know
what I am looking for?
00:26:40.66\00:26:41.90
And then finally the
third time she came and said
00:26:41.91\00:26:43.77
"I am having pain down lower."
00:26:43.78\00:26:45.66
And I said, I had to do an exam.
00:26:45.67\00:26:47.43
She says no and her
husband who had basically
00:26:47.44\00:26:50.55
accosted me at
the beginning said,
00:26:50.56\00:26:53.29
"For goodness sake,
please let him do the exam".
00:26:53.30\00:26:56.36
So I went did the exam and
she had a mass in her pelvis,
00:26:56.37\00:26:59.71
the size of a softball. I
went talked to her doctor.
00:26:59.72\00:27:02.16
They have been driving
across the State of Seattle
00:27:02.17\00:27:04.30
once a week in order
to be able to get care
00:27:04.31\00:27:06.59
in a cancer center
that allows natural poison.
00:27:06.60\00:27:10.54
And I called her
oncologist and I said, hey,
00:27:10.55\00:27:14.79
they're having a
problem and this what I found,
00:27:14.80\00:27:16.68
and here is the history
and she said, they said, oh,
00:27:16.69\00:27:18.51
the poor unfortunate woman.
00:27:18.52\00:27:20.34
She has a second primary,
get her out here tomorrow
00:27:20.35\00:27:23.26
and I'll take care of her.
00:27:23.27\00:27:24.55
And I got back in
the room and I said,
00:27:24.56\00:27:25.75
ma'am, your
doctor, the oncologist
00:27:25.76\00:27:28.28
thinks you have
a second primary.
00:27:28.29\00:27:30.39
And she let out
this wailing cry,
00:27:30.40\00:27:33.12
this terrible cry, she
just bowed down in tears
00:27:33.13\00:27:37.43
and after about
two or three minutes,
00:27:37.44\00:27:38.60
I just reached
down and I said ma'am,
00:27:38.61\00:27:40.96
I wish there was something,
something I could do for you.
00:27:40.97\00:27:44.71
And between her wail she said,
00:27:44.72\00:27:46.94
I wish there was some
way you could convince me
00:27:46.95\00:27:52.50
that it's not because I am evil
00:27:52.51\00:27:53.95
that all this happens to me.
00:27:53.96\00:27:56.31
Somebody had
taught her the lie that
00:27:56.32\00:27:58.67
we have a vengeful God and
she deserve that kind of pain.
00:27:58.68\00:28:02.54
So what was
their final reaction?
00:28:02.55\00:28:05.04
I told her, you know what,
00:28:05.05\00:28:06.19
you're gonna go to
Seattle, you're gonna come back.
00:28:06.20\00:28:08.16
When you come back, I don't know
00:28:08.17\00:28:09.31
what they are
going to do with you.
00:28:09.32\00:28:10.29
But when you come
back, you need to have family
00:28:10.30\00:28:12.61
and you need to be with mine.
00:28:12.62\00:28:14.70
and so you need
to come to my home.
00:28:14.71\00:28:16.61
She went to Seattle,
they found that she did not
00:28:16.62\00:28:18.30
have a second primary,
she had a walled off abscess.
00:28:18.31\00:28:20.53
They did surgery, she was cured.
00:28:20.54\00:28:22.86
Two weeks later she was
in my home beginning to start
00:28:22.87\00:28:26.31
of a five year
relationship with people
00:28:26.32\00:28:28.61
who became my best friends
00:28:28.62\00:28:30.17
and a man who became
God father to my children,
00:28:30.18\00:28:32.64
who initially had accosted
me, because the Holy Spirit
00:28:32.65\00:28:37.63
had given us the
desire to serve in ministry.
00:28:37.64\00:28:40.95
Physicians,
partner with your pastors.
00:28:40.96\00:28:44.62
Amen! Yes please. Amen!
00:28:44.63\00:28:45.89
And you can see the
same kind of results
00:28:45.90\00:28:48.41
that Dr. Torquato
is seeing up in Idaho.
00:28:48.42\00:28:51.57
Amen. God bless
you men, thank you.
00:28:51.58\00:28:53.97
Thank you.
00:28:53.98\00:28:56.49
Holy, holy, holy!
Lord God Almighty!
00:29:50.48\00:30:06.69
Early in the morning
our song shall rise to Thee,
00:30:06.70\00:30:22.10
Holy, holy, holy,
merciful and mighty!
00:30:22.11\00:30:37.31
God in three
Persons, blessed Trinity!
00:30:37.32\00:30:52.52
Holy, holy, holy!
Lord God Almighty!
00:30:52.53\00:31:08.46
All Thy works
shall praise Thy Name,
00:31:08.47\00:31:15.55
in earth, and sky, and sea,
00:31:15.56\00:31:24.30
Holy, holy, holy,
merciful and mighty!
00:31:24.31\00:31:39.89
God in three
Persons, God in three Persons,
00:31:39.90\00:31:55.04
God in three
Persons, blessed Trinity!
00:31:55.05\00:32:18.60
Good afternoon.
00:32:26.54\00:32:28.77
Good afternoon! Good afternoon!
00:32:28.78\00:32:30.32
Are you alive out there today?
00:32:30.33\00:32:32.83
We've been having too
much fun back in the back room
00:32:32.84\00:32:34.95
here before we came out.
00:32:34.96\00:32:35.97
This is Doug and Debbie
Baker from Heritage Academy
00:32:35.98\00:32:38.49
and I don't know these two,
00:32:38.50\00:32:40.64
not claiming to
know them at all.
00:32:40.65\00:32:41.86
Who are these guys anyhow?
00:32:41.87\00:32:43.77
Couple of our
students from Heritage Academy.
00:32:43.78\00:32:45.62
Oh, yeah, they were
going to do all kinds of stuff,
00:32:45.63\00:32:47.37
I said, you don't want
to do that up front, no way.
00:32:47.38\00:32:50.52
But any how, I am
kind of little confused,
00:32:50.53\00:32:52.05
you are from Heritage Academy,
00:32:52.06\00:32:53.79
but you're representing
an organization called ACTS.
00:32:53.80\00:32:56.58
Now what is ACTS?
00:32:56.59\00:32:58.42
And how did you get
involved with representing them
00:32:58.43\00:33:00.79
when you are from a
different organization?
00:33:00.80\00:33:02.73
That's a good question,
but ACTS is an organization
00:33:02.74\00:33:06.02
that stands for
Active Christians That Serve.
00:33:06.03\00:33:09.57
And ACTS is a
worldwide organization
00:33:09.58\00:33:13.16
found at
www.actswr.org and they are
00:33:13.17\00:33:19.34
a disaster response organization
00:33:19.35\00:33:21.57
that mobilizes volunteers
from all over the world
00:33:21.58\00:33:24.77
to respond to disasters.
00:33:24.78\00:33:26.32
I understand you had
like a three minute video
00:33:26.33\00:33:28.88
or something like that?
We do, we do, that's right.
00:33:28.89\00:33:30.66
May be we can go
ahead and roll that, okay.
00:33:30.67\00:33:33.23
Once again God is so good,
00:33:49.62\00:33:51.15
that we are here as
the first response team,
00:33:51.16\00:33:53.07
Tornado chain
that devastated Alabama
00:33:53.08\00:33:55.83
just towards west of Birmingham.
00:33:55.84\00:33:58.02
We are here at the
First Baptist Church,
00:33:58.03\00:34:00.16
a place called
the Pleasant Grove.
00:34:00.17\00:34:02.21
God has brought us
here in network interfaith
00:34:02.22\00:34:04.39
with other great
Christian people.
00:34:04.40\00:34:05.92
They asked us to come
in here quickly to help
00:34:05.93\00:34:08.36
with a large
church in this community
00:34:08.37\00:34:10.85
and it's been a
great relationship.
00:34:10.86\00:34:12.65
The total town is
completely devastated.
00:34:12.66\00:34:15.01
We have another kitchen
down at the gulf post end,
00:34:15.02\00:34:17.03
and the other one over
at another area close by,
00:34:17.04\00:34:20.24
so three kitchens that are here
00:34:20.25\00:34:22.62
serving the needs of the people,
00:34:22.63\00:34:23.99
also helping at
running distribution lines,
00:34:24.00\00:34:27.18
being the needs of
the people with serve aids
00:34:27.19\00:34:29.13
taking water to the people,
doing a lot of different work,
00:34:29.14\00:34:32.95
trees are picked and moved.
00:34:32.96\00:34:34.58
My name is Jordan Mehalick
and I go Junior Heritage Academy
00:34:34.59\00:34:38.64
and right here we
are working with ACTS
00:34:38.65\00:34:40.96
down in Alabama since tornado.
00:34:40.97\00:34:43.21
And over here we
have a distribution line
00:34:43.22\00:34:45.57
as you can probably
see right behind me.
00:34:45.58\00:34:47.11
They are over here making meals.
00:34:47.12\00:34:49.19
People come, they
donate, you know, a soda cans,
00:34:49.20\00:34:52.48
bags of chips, food and
00:34:52.49\00:34:54.03
our job is to just
put these together.
00:34:54.04\00:34:56.06
So we can hand it
them, make a meal.
00:34:56.07\00:34:57.85
And so car can come
through her, we can load them up
00:34:57.86\00:35:00.79
and you know they
can just go on their way.
00:35:00.80\00:35:03.15
It was very special
aspect going on here
00:35:03.16\00:35:05.51
and our first response
team, it happens very often,
00:35:05.52\00:35:08.20
we respond
internationally and domestically
00:35:08.21\00:35:10.65
and that's international best
union relief at Union College.
00:35:10.66\00:35:15.43
My name is Aaron
Kitts, I'm from a team
00:35:15.44\00:35:17.43
from Union College
in Lincoln, Nebraska.
00:35:17.44\00:35:19.65
We have a light
search rescue team,
00:35:19.66\00:35:21.69
we detect the rescue.
00:35:21.70\00:35:23.09
And we came down
here to Birmingham,
00:35:23.10\00:35:25.80
Alabama to give ACTS in.
00:35:25.81\00:35:27.75
ACTS put us in contact
with a team of canine units
00:35:27.76\00:35:31.52
that we'll be working with.
00:35:31.53\00:35:32.83
So right now they're teamed
up with our certain rescue team
00:35:32.84\00:35:35.64
and working with the dogs
00:35:35.65\00:35:37.17
and come to the last
possible cancer survivors.
00:35:37.18\00:35:41.15
One of the most
important aspects of going into
00:35:41.16\00:35:43.34
within any disaster,
I'll say it incident,
00:35:43.35\00:35:46.24
you said you can collaberate
with the local city people
00:35:46.25\00:35:49.40
whether it'd be the police jeep
00:35:49.41\00:35:50.61
we have a wonderful relationship
00:35:50.62\00:35:52.14
with the mayor as well,
00:35:52.15\00:35:53.78
the fire department working
at the EOC at the county level
00:35:53.79\00:35:57.46
the state level, God
has opened many doors,
00:35:57.47\00:36:00.20
and that we're very
thankful and once again,
00:36:00.21\00:36:02.27
we've responded being
invited by a number of agencies,
00:36:02.28\00:36:06.34
we're coming to know
what volunteers can do to
00:36:06.35\00:36:09.32
make a difference
being first responders
00:36:09.33\00:36:12.11
to make it right here.
00:36:12.12\00:36:13.37
So that we can save
lives both emotionally,
00:36:13.38\00:36:16.09
spiritually, and physically.
00:36:16.10\00:36:19.30
Amen. Wow! Doug, how in a world
00:36:19.31\00:36:24.49
did you get involved with
this organization, I mean?
00:36:24.50\00:36:27.08
Well, ACTS itself began in 2004.
00:36:27.09\00:36:30.81
There was a
series of four hurricanes
00:36:30.82\00:36:33.66
that went through Florida.
00:36:33.67\00:36:34.64
And so ACTS began as
a local church response
00:36:34.65\00:36:38.60
to the need and it
has grown over the years.
00:36:38.61\00:36:42.00
So this kind of started out
like a local community service
00:36:42.01\00:36:45.65
activity of a local
church in Florida, right.
00:36:45.66\00:36:47.82
And what's
happening with it since then?
00:36:47.83\00:36:49.80
Well, then 2005 Katrina
and there was a relationship
00:36:49.81\00:36:54.66
that developed
between the schools
00:36:54.67\00:36:56.28
and the Southern Union and ACTS.
00:36:56.29\00:36:58.23
And so pretty
much all the academies
00:36:58.24\00:37:01.02
in the Southern Union
were responding to Katrina
00:37:01.03\00:37:03.95
and going down to Bass
Academy and to Waveland,
00:37:03.96\00:37:08.87
Mississippi in response.
00:37:08.88\00:37:10.85
Since that time
Heritage Academy,
00:37:10.86\00:37:13.43
has been involved in
about 15, 16 deployments
00:37:13.44\00:37:17.52
with ACTS over those years.
00:37:17.53\00:37:19.88
And of course, you
know, during these years
00:37:19.89\00:37:22.37
the intensity of
natural disasters
00:37:22.38\00:37:25.38
has increased
and their frequency.
00:37:25.39\00:37:27.90
Are there other organizations
getting involve with ACTS,
00:37:27.91\00:37:30.22
is it growing it all or?
00:37:30.23\00:37:31.52
Well, you know with
ACTS, ACTS partners together
00:37:31.53\00:37:37.72
with the schools
North American Division
00:37:37.73\00:37:41.11
Office of Education
is partnered with ACTS.
00:37:41.12\00:37:44.05
So Universities,
Adventist Universities,
00:37:44.06\00:37:46.74
Adventist
schools, doctors, in Haiti,
00:37:46.75\00:37:52.17
I think 6,000 volunteers.
00:37:52.18\00:37:54.33
Wow! From
Adventist medical comunity.
00:37:54.34\00:37:57.45
So this is really matrume,
I mean as natural disasters
00:37:57.46\00:37:59.02
have skyrocketed more
in the last several years.
00:37:59.03\00:38:01.27
Then ACTS has got into grow
00:38:01.28\00:38:03.28
more and more and
more people involved.
00:38:03.29\00:38:04.39
Debbie, have you
been involved with
00:38:04.40\00:38:05.49
any like local disasters
that happened recently?
00:38:05.50\00:38:09.52
And actually
unfortunately to the south,
00:38:09.53\00:38:12.01
many of us experienced just
a horrific evening of tornadoes
00:38:12.02\00:38:16.72
and yes we did
respond both locally
00:38:16.73\00:38:20.09
to local mountain
community and also to Alabama,
00:38:20.10\00:38:24.95
to just north in
Birmingham the Pleasant Grove,
00:38:24.96\00:38:27.21
that you saw in the video.
00:38:27.22\00:38:28.19
Wow. You know, I was
just looking on a website
00:38:28.20\00:38:29.98
and I noticed that, if
you look at natural disasters
00:38:29.99\00:38:32.44
how they've increased in
the last five to ten years.
00:38:32.45\00:38:35.04
You go back in the 1990s,
00:38:35.05\00:38:36.33
it'd be like
three natural disasters
00:38:36.34\00:38:37.71
and now it's got through
the point where like for a 2010,
00:38:37.72\00:38:41.53
the list is like this
long of all these different
00:38:41.54\00:38:43.84
major disasters
have happened worldwide.
00:38:43.85\00:38:45.62
So these guys here,
your shirt is a little dirty
00:38:45.63\00:38:47.62
is that because you were
doing some kind of relief
00:38:47.63\00:38:49.85
for something like that.
00:38:49.86\00:38:50.98
Who are these guys anyhow?
00:38:50.99\00:38:52.45
Would you like
to introduce them?
00:38:52.46\00:38:53.43
Sure. Jordan Van Allen
is now a senior beginning
00:38:53.44\00:38:56.86
and Brandon Lamphier was
just graduated as Allen and I.
00:38:56.87\00:39:01.41
Brandon, have you been involved
00:39:01.42\00:39:02.61
with some of the
ACTS outreach that--
00:39:02.62\00:39:05.24
Yes, I have actually
been on four appointments
00:39:05.25\00:39:06.85
myself to a
Mississippi, Alabama,
00:39:06.86\00:39:09.13
and there was
flooding in Nashville
00:39:09.14\00:39:10.72
that we worked with extensively.
00:39:10.73\00:39:12.76
Behind, so what
are some of the things
00:39:12.77\00:39:14.00
that you were doing?
00:39:14.01\00:39:15.46
I personally I
worked on distribution line,
00:39:15.47\00:39:17.66
I help take care of people
that have lost everything,
00:39:17.67\00:39:20.22
you know, giving
them food, clothing,
00:39:20.23\00:39:22.28
I ran a chain saw
cutting people, you know,
00:39:22.29\00:39:24.34
cutting trees
off from their homes,
00:39:24.35\00:39:26.06
off from their vehicles.
00:39:26.07\00:39:28.58
And how was that
affected you personally,
00:39:28.59\00:39:30.51
I mean has this
made any kind of impact
00:39:30.52\00:39:32.08
on your life, you know.
00:39:32.09\00:39:34.10
Well, cutting people would,
00:39:34.11\00:39:36.16
so I'm glad that
I didn't do that.
00:39:36.17\00:39:38.01
I got appearance, I'm
not gonna make any mistakes,
00:39:38.02\00:39:39.87
you know, when we're out working
00:39:39.88\00:39:41.96
make a mistakes not an option.
00:39:41.97\00:39:43.87
But the greatest part of
our working with other people
00:39:43.88\00:39:47.29
is the fact that
when you come to them
00:39:47.30\00:39:49.36
and they've lost everything.
00:39:49.37\00:39:50.61
It doesn't matter
if they're a Hindu,
00:39:50.62\00:39:51.97
it doesn't matter if they're
a Baptist or Presbyterian,
00:39:51.98\00:39:54.15
doesn't matter who they are.
00:39:54.16\00:39:55.80
When you come to them
and you gave them something
00:39:55.81\00:39:57.49
when they've lost everything,
00:39:57.50\00:39:59.11
that means something to them.
00:39:59.12\00:40:00.14
They want to know why
you want to do that for them.
00:40:00.15\00:40:02.75
Debbie, when you were there,
00:40:02.76\00:40:03.75
did you have a chance
to like pray with people
00:40:03.76\00:40:05.69
and besides just
giving them relief for the,
00:40:05.70\00:40:08.05
the losses that
they've intuited,
00:40:08.06\00:40:09.58
you have like any
spiritual encounters at all.
00:40:09.59\00:40:12.75
You know, I think
for all of our students,
00:40:12.76\00:40:14.61
I don't think there
is one of them both staff
00:40:14.62\00:40:16.80
and the students or
anyone that's volunteered
00:40:16.81\00:40:19.27
that doesn't have
the opportunity to reach
00:40:19.28\00:40:20.68
at the someone in prayer.
00:40:20.69\00:40:22.18
When someone is standing there
00:40:22.19\00:40:23.26
before that's lost everything.
00:40:23.27\00:40:26.01
They're looking and
searching for answers
00:40:26.02\00:40:28.13
and you don't even have to ask,
00:40:28.14\00:40:30.80
they beg you, please
would you pray for me.
00:40:30.81\00:40:32.83
And, you know,
really is a blessing
00:40:32.84\00:40:35.17
to be able to, to be the hands
00:40:35.18\00:40:36.48
and feet of Jesus in
that moment for them.
00:40:36.49\00:40:38.81
Yeah, when people
at their greatest need,
00:40:38.82\00:40:40.48
that's a chance
where you can really help,
00:40:40.49\00:40:42.43
meet their
spiritual needs too, amen.
00:40:42.44\00:40:44.33
Well, thank you so much
and God bless you, thank you.
00:40:44.34\00:40:48.66
Next, next we're gonna
have person that you well,
00:40:48.67\00:40:52.43
is well known here, Don
Noble and, Jason Fournier,
00:40:52.44\00:40:56.02
and I said that
right. Didn't I Jason?
00:40:56.03\00:40:57.70
I always want to say Fournier,
00:40:57.71\00:40:59.41
but it's a French word can
so, right its French right.
00:40:59.42\00:41:02.91
That's correct. Okay.
00:41:02.92\00:41:04.36
So Don, you're in
with Maranatha volunteers
00:41:04.37\00:41:07.00
and they've been
involved with quite a while
00:41:07.01\00:41:08.93
with the One-Day Church project.
00:41:08.94\00:41:10.62
Now how many of you heard
of the One-Day Church project.
00:41:10.63\00:41:13.70
Almost everybody here has,
but for the viewing audience
00:41:13.71\00:41:16.31
and those who
haven't, why don't you tell us
00:41:16.32\00:41:17.79
really quickly
a little bit about
00:41:17.80\00:41:18.94
the One-Day Church project
00:41:18.95\00:41:20.17
and Maranatha's
connection with that?
00:41:20.18\00:41:23.29
First of all I'm really
glad to see so many hands go up
00:41:23.30\00:41:26.46
that are familiar with
the One-Day Church project
00:41:26.47\00:41:29.13
you know, the One-Day
Church started a few years ago,
00:41:29.14\00:41:32.62
it was a direct
response to a huge,
00:41:32.63\00:41:36.94
huge numbers of requests
that have come in for churches
00:41:36.95\00:41:41.18
and schools around the world.
00:41:41.19\00:41:42.63
The Macedonian Call, if
you will from around the world.
00:41:42.64\00:41:46.54
The church has
grown so much in the areas
00:41:46.55\00:41:48.88
where the folks just cannot
afford to provide a church
00:41:48.89\00:41:53.36
and the school
for their children
00:41:53.37\00:41:55.52
or for their communities.
00:41:55.53\00:41:57.51
A place that, you know,
God can come and be there
00:41:57.52\00:42:02.60
with them and it shows
where the Creator God is
00:42:02.61\00:42:05.63
and what happens
is the church grows,
00:42:05.64\00:42:09.54
people are proud of
their church and that's why
00:42:09.55\00:42:14.05
we got so excited
about the One-Day Church,
00:42:14.06\00:42:16.22
because God's kingdom
grows as a result of it.
00:42:16.23\00:42:19.34
And we started building, I
was in Garvanza living room
00:42:19.35\00:42:25.38
actually when we
started talking about this
00:42:25.39\00:42:27.44
and say what do we do.
00:42:27.45\00:42:29.06
What do we do? Hundred
thousand requests for churches
00:42:29.07\00:42:31.99
50,000 requests
for schools, yeah.
00:42:32.00\00:42:34.33
Some have to be
done to be built faster,
00:42:34.34\00:42:36.72
more economically
and otherwise we're just,
00:42:36.73\00:42:40.79
you know, not,
not meet the needs.
00:42:40.80\00:42:42.25
So that's how it came about
00:42:42.26\00:42:43.84
and we've involved
the lot of partners.
00:42:43.85\00:42:46.41
Here is one of
them, Jason Fournier,
00:42:46.42\00:42:48.75
is with Kibidula,He's been
helping with One-Day Church.
00:42:48.76\00:42:52.52
We've been working
with other ASI ministries.
00:42:52.53\00:42:56.02
Deuroff, Living
Waters is working in Kenya.
00:42:56.03\00:42:59.68
Of course Alan
Knowles, Riverside Farms,
00:42:59.69\00:43:03.84
Gary Roberts and Chad,
Barry Moser, Hopkin Congo,
00:43:03.85\00:43:08.71
lot of people that
we're working with,
00:43:08.72\00:43:11.00
lot of volunteers,
church and schools here
00:43:11.01\00:43:14.50
in North America getting
involved in this program,
00:43:14.51\00:43:16.72
and it's exciting to see.
00:43:16.73\00:43:18.73
Now you see this morning
Adventists getting involved,
00:43:18.74\00:43:22.96
trying to think other
people that have been involved
00:43:22.97\00:43:24.91
in partnering on this, because
it's really takes everybody.
00:43:24.92\00:43:29.36
It's not just a Maranatha thing,
00:43:29.37\00:43:31.55
It's not just an ASI thing,
it's not just a church thing,
00:43:31.56\00:43:33.86
that's how it started.
00:43:33.87\00:43:35.27
We need every body's
involvement to respond
00:43:35.28\00:43:38.76
to this tremendous
need around the world.
00:43:38.77\00:43:40.66
Yeah, it's really
important to understand that
00:43:40.67\00:43:42.74
when we do evangelism in
these different remote areas,
00:43:42.75\00:43:45.23
that unless we
establish a building there,
00:43:45.24\00:43:47.89
often times what
we do can fall apart.
00:43:47.90\00:43:49.76
The church is a
establishing factor
00:43:49.77\00:43:52.19
to make that whole
thing continue to grow
00:43:52.20\00:43:53.96
and continue to happen
there, this extremely important.
00:43:53.97\00:43:57.15
I should, I should
mention just one other partner
00:43:57.16\00:43:59.33
that's some of you
may have heard that
00:43:59.34\00:44:01.95
there was a partnership
that was unusual with 3ABN.
00:44:01.96\00:44:06.77
Danny Shelton even wrote a
song about the One-Day Church
00:44:06.78\00:44:10.91
and put together a whole CD,
00:44:10.92\00:44:13.33
wow, to promote
the One-Day Church.
00:44:13.34\00:44:15.07
Well, earlier
today, they played a song
00:44:15.08\00:44:16.69
that was the One-Day Church,
00:44:16.70\00:44:17.67
that wasn't Danny Shelton
singing though and there--
00:44:17.68\00:44:20.24
Ah, no, no, it
wasn't Danny singing,
00:44:20.25\00:44:23.21
but he did write the song.
00:44:23.22\00:44:24.63
Oh, he did write the song, okay.
00:44:24.64\00:44:26.42
There is other partners
of course I think that God
00:44:26.43\00:44:29.08
sends a lot of what
should we call them,
00:44:29.09\00:44:32.05
logistics angles to be
involved in this project,
00:44:32.06\00:44:35.91
because when you're
working in the areas
00:44:35.92\00:44:37.83
that these projects go.
00:44:37.84\00:44:39.89
I'll tell you, you need
a lot of help from above.
00:44:39.90\00:44:42.57
So we need the logistic
angels to go ahead of us
00:44:42.58\00:44:45.05
and work out the details.
00:44:45.06\00:44:46.62
But Jason is probably
better talking about that.
00:44:46.63\00:44:48.94
Yeah, Jason, so you're in
Africa, and is it Tanzania.
00:44:48.95\00:44:53.10
That's correct, I
live in Tanzania at a --
00:44:53.11\00:44:56.65
I'm director of a
small mission station
00:44:56.66\00:44:58.52
called Kibidula Farm, we
have school of agriculture,
00:44:58.53\00:45:02.92
a school of
evangelism, a primary school.
00:45:02.93\00:45:05.64
We have a publishing ministry.
00:45:05.65\00:45:08.49
We send out global
pioneers or lay missionaries
00:45:08.50\00:45:11.83
into unentered areas
to spread the gospel,
00:45:11.84\00:45:14.88
where the gospel
has never been preached.
00:45:14.89\00:45:17.67
And most recently, we've
had the privilege of working
00:45:17.68\00:45:22.25
together with Maranatha
and ASI on this project.
00:45:22.26\00:45:26.61
I think it's a wonderful
project of the One-Day Church.
00:45:26.62\00:45:30.11
Now you have some pictures here,
00:45:30.12\00:45:31.51
could you tell us a
little bit about these pictures.
00:45:31.52\00:45:33.96
Okay. Well, you can
just see the picture
00:45:33.97\00:45:37.60
thereby moving
onto the next one.
00:45:37.61\00:45:39.93
The need for the
churches, this is a church
00:45:39.94\00:45:44.91
that was hit by a
storm and you can see
00:45:44.92\00:45:46.86
it's just a grass and
reed and stick structure.
00:45:46.87\00:45:49.91
It was completely destroyed
00:45:49.92\00:45:51.52
and that's why we
meet all over the place.
00:45:51.53\00:45:54.36
And so, we've
replaced that church,
00:45:54.37\00:45:57.22
we've also had the privilege
of going into Massai Land,
00:45:57.23\00:46:01.19
where the gospel,
the Massai have been slow
00:46:01.20\00:46:04.95
to accept the
gospel, but in recent years
00:46:04.96\00:46:07.86
they've been opening up
00:46:07.87\00:46:09.36
and it's been a
tremendous privilege
00:46:09.37\00:46:11.66
to go into Massai Land.
00:46:11.67\00:46:14.72
Where they don't actually
have permanent buildings
00:46:14.73\00:46:18.33
and we've built these
churches for them and,
00:46:18.34\00:46:20.98
and they're amazed
and they're filling them.
00:46:20.99\00:46:25.17
Moving onto the next picture.
00:46:25.18\00:46:29.74
Okay, one back.
00:46:29.75\00:46:31.29
I've been using my
pickup to begin with
00:46:31.30\00:46:33.76
to build these
churches and the pickup
00:46:33.77\00:46:37.10
was being overloaded and the
frame started to crack a part.
00:46:37.11\00:46:40.05
And last years ASI paid
for partially for a new truck
00:46:40.06\00:46:47.86
and that's the picture of
when I first took delivery
00:46:47.87\00:46:50.85
of the new truck and
now it can load ten churches
00:46:50.86\00:46:53.24
on the truck and we
can leave Sunday morning
00:46:53.25\00:46:56.57
and come back before Friday
having finished ten churches.
00:46:56.58\00:47:00.65
Did I hear you right
ten churches on that truck?
00:47:00.66\00:47:02.85
We put ten
churches on this truck.
00:47:02.86\00:47:04.70
Can you imagine that?
00:47:04.71\00:47:06.14
And there it is
the first church,
00:47:06.15\00:47:07.90
we built from that truck
there are nine still sitting
00:47:07.91\00:47:10.33
on the truck in that picture
00:47:10.34\00:47:12.33
and the Lord
has greatly blessed.
00:47:12.34\00:47:14.93
I'm especially privileged
to be part of this project
00:47:14.94\00:47:19.63
in a wide way in Tanzania.
00:47:19.64\00:47:22.15
Oh, Praise God. So
Don, I know you have
00:47:22.16\00:47:26.50
a video or
something you want to show
00:47:26.51\00:47:27.86
with the close here, but
00:47:27.87\00:47:29.04
what were you gonna
say about this video,
00:47:29.05\00:47:30.47
you had some
kind of like preamble
00:47:30.48\00:47:31.76
or something you had for it.
00:47:31.77\00:47:32.99
Oh, just good to say that,
00:47:33.00\00:47:35.44
this program isn't
just about buildings.
00:47:35.45\00:47:38.90
This program is about
souls for the kingdom of God,
00:47:38.91\00:47:41.51
that's the point, You know,
00:47:41.52\00:47:44.16
we don't need more buildings,
we need more people for Jesus
00:47:44.17\00:47:46.68
and His kingdom.
00:47:46.69\00:47:48.30
And our project was
done in January of this year
00:47:48.31\00:47:52.12
that included
lot of the partners
00:47:52.13\00:47:53.66
that I talked
about a few minutes ago.
00:47:53.67\00:47:55.67
It was over Vic
Falls in Zimbabwe.
00:47:55.68\00:47:58.84
Now if you don't know
very much about Zimbabwe,
00:47:58.85\00:48:01.51
it has an
unemployment rate of 95 percent.
00:48:01.52\00:48:06.52
So the people
don't have very much,
00:48:06.53\00:48:08.62
but we built with so
many partners, ASI, Kibidula,
00:48:08.63\00:48:14.19
Riverside, lot of volunteers
here from North America,
00:48:14.20\00:48:17.44
built two lovely
campuses there at Vic Falls.
00:48:17.45\00:48:21.62
And it has just opened
here about two months ago.
00:48:21.63\00:48:24.31
It opened in the
middle of the school years,
00:48:24.32\00:48:25.76
so if some of the students
had to quit their other school
00:48:25.77\00:48:29.13
and come there but
00:48:29.14\00:48:30.70
a lot of these kids didn't
know anything about Jesus.
00:48:30.71\00:48:33.53
Two weeks ago there
was a couple of people
00:48:33.54\00:48:35.99
including my wife who was there.
00:48:36.00\00:48:37.42
And they took a
little video that showed
00:48:37.43\00:48:39.03
these young children,
just some of the children
00:48:39.04\00:48:42.33
and they're singing a song,
00:48:42.34\00:48:43.48
it tells you that
they are starting to learn
00:48:43.49\00:48:45.53
about what matters.
00:48:45.54\00:48:47.66
Just as little children,
they're learning about Jesus.
00:48:47.67\00:48:50.91
So go to, Zimbabwe, here
and watch a couple of children
00:48:50.92\00:48:54.88
or a group of children sing
at the brand new One-Day school.
00:48:54.89\00:48:58.16
Amen, Jesus
loves me this I know,
00:48:58.17\00:49:05.92
For the Bible tells me so.
00:49:05.93\00:49:10.71
Little ones to Him belong
00:49:10.72\00:49:15.42
They are weak but He is strong.
00:49:15.43\00:49:19.84
Jesus loves me! This I know,
Jesus loves me! This I know,
00:49:19.85\00:49:27.97
Jesus loves me! This I
know, The Bible tells me so.
00:49:27.98\00:49:36.80
Praise the Lord,
that's where your money
00:49:36.81\00:49:38.14
goes for the One-Day school.
00:49:38.15\00:49:41.15
I'd just like to
reiterate these buildings
00:49:41.16\00:49:43.49
hold the community together
when you have a building to go
00:49:43.50\00:49:46.78
I was, I was traveling in India
00:49:46.79\00:49:49.60
and they told me
one time they said,
00:49:49.61\00:49:51.54
is your church so
weak, your God so weak that
00:49:51.55\00:49:53.72
you can't build a
temple to your God.
00:49:53.73\00:49:56.27
And when we can
establish structures like this
00:49:56.28\00:49:58.52
it shows also in
the community that,
00:49:58.53\00:50:00.70
that we do have a God
that can build the temple,
00:50:00.71\00:50:03.74
in dedication to
the God that we serve
00:50:03.75\00:50:05.98
and the people
can assemble there.
00:50:05.99\00:50:07.40
Don, a quick closing
thought if you want to share.
00:50:07.41\00:50:11.15
You know I just
want to thank this group
00:50:11.16\00:50:13.71
and anybody that's
watching through prayers
00:50:13.72\00:50:15.72
like so often here
the people are praying,
00:50:15.73\00:50:17.61
because these projects
take more than simply money.
00:50:17.62\00:50:20.64
It take money,
but they need prayers.
00:50:20.65\00:50:22.63
I encourage you to pray.
00:50:22.64\00:50:23.62
There's guy out
there in the field,
00:50:23.63\00:50:24.77
you know some of the
troubles that you face Jason.
00:50:24.78\00:50:27.33
These people are
running into some very,
00:50:27.34\00:50:29.37
very difficult
situation in some countries
00:50:29.38\00:50:31.68
of the world that we
can hardly even imagine.
00:50:31.69\00:50:33.81
But we still need to take
God's message there, yeah.
00:50:33.82\00:50:36.17
So please pray for the project
and support when you can,
00:50:36.18\00:50:39.26
it's making a
difference for God's Kingdom.
00:50:39.27\00:50:41.43
Amen, thank you.
00:50:41.44\00:50:44.12
The Lord is my
light and my salvation.
00:50:51.35\00:51:00.04
Whom then shall I fear?
00:51:00.05\00:51:02.95
Shall I fear?
Whom then shall I fear?
00:51:02.96\00:51:08.13
The Lord is the
strength of my life.
00:51:08.14\00:51:12.51
The Lord is the
strength of my life.
00:51:12.52\00:51:16.79
Of whom then shall I be afraid?
00:51:16.80\00:51:26.91
Though a host of men
were laid against me,
00:51:26.92\00:51:35.49
Yet shall not
my heart be afraid,
00:51:35.50\00:51:43.69
And those there
rose up war against me,
00:51:43.70\00:51:55.71
Yet will I put my trust in Him.
00:51:55.72\00:52:12.15
For in the time of trouble,
00:52:12.16\00:52:21.77
He shall hide me
in His tabernacle.
00:52:21.78\00:52:32.75
Yea, in the secret places of
His dwelling shall He hide me,
00:52:32.76\00:52:51.43
And set me up
upon a rock of stone.
00:52:51.44\00:53:05.89
The Lord is my
light and my salvation
00:53:14.32\00:53:22.94
Whom then shall I
fear? Whom then shall I fear?
00:53:22.95\00:53:30.94
The Lord is the
strength of my life
00:53:30.95\00:53:35.23
The Lord is the
strength of my life
00:53:35.24\00:53:39.55
Of whom then shall I be afraid?
00:53:39.56\00:53:49.17
Of whom then shall
I be afraid, afraid?
00:53:49.18\00:54:13.76
