And can it be that
00:00:25.68\00:00:28.91
I should gain
00:00:28.94\00:00:32.04
An interest in
the Savior's blood?
00:00:32.07\00:00:36.12
Died he for me,
00:00:39.41\00:00:42.70
who caused his pain?
00:00:42.73\00:00:46.24
For me who escorted
00:00:46.27\00:00:50.34
his perfect love
00:00:50.37\00:00:53.98
Amazing love,
00:00:54.01\00:00:57.22
how can it be
00:00:57.25\00:01:00.58
That you my God
00:01:00.61\00:01:03.98
would die for me?
00:01:04.01\00:01:07.44
Amazing love,
00:01:07.47\00:01:10.89
how can it be
00:01:10.92\00:01:14.18
That you my God
00:01:14.21\00:01:17.64
would die for me?
00:01:17.67\00:01:21.34
When you left your
00:01:21.37\00:01:23.22
Fathers throne above
00:01:23.25\00:01:27.62
So free, so infinite your grace
00:01:27.65\00:01:31.48
Emptied yourself
00:01:34.80\00:01:37.55
of all but love
00:01:37.58\00:01:40.82
And bled for Adam's
00:01:40.85\00:01:44.70
helpless race
00:01:44.73\00:01:47.46
Amazing love,
00:01:47.49\00:01:50.96
how can it be
00:01:50.99\00:01:54.12
That you my God
00:01:54.15\00:01:57.34
would die for me?
00:01:57.37\00:02:00.83
Amazing love,
00:02:00.86\00:02:04.19
how can it be
00:02:04.22\00:02:07.52
That you my God
00:02:07.55\00:02:10.99
would die for me?
00:02:11.02\00:02:16.64
Amazing love
00:02:16.67\00:02:20.52
How can it be
00:02:20.55\00:02:25.68
Amazing love
00:02:25.71\00:02:30.28
How can it be
00:02:30.31\00:02:35.26
Boldly I come
00:02:35.29\00:02:38.42
Before your throne
00:02:38.45\00:02:41.72
to claim your mercy
00:02:41.75\00:02:44.98
Immense and free
00:02:45.01\00:02:48.11
No greater love
00:02:48.14\00:02:50.99
will ever be known
00:02:51.02\00:02:54.26
For oh, My God
00:02:54.29\00:02:57.53
it found out me
00:02:57.56\00:03:00.43
Amazing love,
00:03:00.46\00:03:03.58
how can it be
00:03:03.61\00:03:06.95
That you my God
00:03:06.98\00:03:09.99
would die for me?
00:03:10.02\00:03:13.19
Amazing love,
00:03:13.22\00:03:16.21
how can it be
00:03:16.24\00:03:19.71
That you my God
00:03:19.74\00:03:23.24
would die for me?
00:03:23.27\00:03:26.72
That you my God
00:03:26.75\00:03:30.19
would die for me
00:03:30.22\00:03:33.54
That you my God
00:03:33.57\00:03:37.14
would die for me
00:03:37.17\00:03:44.51
Amazing love
00:03:44.54\00:03:47.85
Amazing love
00:03:53.05\00:03:57.47
Amen. Good evening ASI.
00:04:03.10\00:04:08.44
Have you had a good time so far?
00:04:08.47\00:04:12.23
I don't know if
you really have or not?
00:04:12.26\00:04:15.55
All right. I have
with me Dan Whatley.
00:04:15.58\00:04:18.76
Dan, where are you from?
00:04:18.79\00:04:20.01
I'm from Palmer, Alaska.
00:04:20.04\00:04:21.83
All right. So how long have
you lived in Palmer, Alaska?
00:04:21.86\00:04:26.25
Born and raised there,
lived my whole life in Alaska.
00:04:26.28\00:04:29.09
Native Alaskan. I guess so.
00:04:29.12\00:04:31.76
All right, so
tell me a little bit
00:04:31.79\00:04:34.49
of what you do in Alaska?
00:04:34.52\00:04:36.48
Well, that would be a long
story but the short version
00:04:36.51\00:04:38.94
is I have been a bush pilot,
guide, lodge owner, contractor,
00:04:38.97\00:04:46.39
literature
evangelist publishing director,
00:04:46.42\00:04:48.74
mission pilot
and now I'm working,
00:04:48.77\00:04:51.92
I've got-I've
retired, I sold my business.
00:04:51.95\00:04:53.84
I don't like to use the word
retired, I sold my business.
00:04:53.87\00:04:56.89
This guy is not
retired. I'm no longer
00:04:56.92\00:04:58.09
under the tyranny of the urgent,
00:04:58.12\00:05:00.01
that mean that's
a different thing.
00:05:00.04\00:05:01.68
And so, but I can't sit around,
00:05:01.71\00:05:03.57
so I got involved in
another company right away
00:05:03.60\00:05:05.49
start up company called
the tele paper and so I'm here
00:05:05.52\00:05:08.42
our booth is at number 744
and I just brought out a sample
00:05:08.45\00:05:13.66
of what we are doing, one
of the things we are doing.
00:05:13.69\00:05:16.74
And tele paper is about
making paper intelligent
00:05:16.77\00:05:19.53
and this is a Bible
course enrollment card
00:05:19.56\00:05:23.32
from Voice of Prophecy and
on the bottom of this card,
00:05:23.35\00:05:26.17
is till tear off strip, and
that tear off strip has a paper
00:05:26.20\00:05:30.98
or printed on thumb
drive so on that thumb drive
00:05:31.01\00:05:34.54
you can stick it in your
USB port and it will give you
00:05:34.57\00:05:38.82
lesson number
one you fill that out
00:05:38.85\00:05:40.38
and it will connect you
directly to Voice of Prophecy
00:05:40.41\00:05:42.70
and you can take
the course online.
00:05:42.73\00:05:44.55
So that's the--
that's one of the samples
00:05:44.58\00:05:46.77
of the things that we are doing.
00:05:46.80\00:05:47.86
Now folks, this is a piece of
paper that's amazing technology
00:05:47.89\00:05:51.15
that is been
developed right here
00:05:51.18\00:05:54.23
from a
Seventh-day Adventist group.
00:05:54.26\00:05:55.81
Yes. So, beyond
the paper you saw
00:05:55.84\00:06:00.32
a special need in your
area and tell me a little bit
00:06:00.35\00:06:03.66
about that, how you
and especially for men?
00:06:03.69\00:06:07.21
Okay. Well, we were, you know,
00:06:07.24\00:06:09.32
we always have the
annual men's retreat.
00:06:09.35\00:06:11.05
We have been doing
that for years in Alaska.
00:06:11.08\00:06:14.00
But you know we live in
the most beautiful state
00:06:14.03\00:06:15.97
in union, my opinion, sorry.
00:06:16.00\00:06:18.35
It is beautiful.
00:06:18.38\00:06:20.40
You will be coming soon,
so we'll win you over too.
00:06:20.43\00:06:23.01
But, we--one of the men's
retreat I think around 2004
00:06:23.04\00:06:27.22
we got to talking,
few of us started talking,
00:06:27.25\00:06:29.26
said, why are we doing this
in a building on a road system
00:06:29.29\00:06:33.17
in a hotel or church camp,
somewhere on the road system.
00:06:33.20\00:06:36.20
Why don't we get back
out into the wilderness?
00:06:36.23\00:06:38.92
And so, the next year we
started doing the men's retreat
00:06:38.95\00:06:41.64
in the wilderness of Alaska,
not the easiest place to get to,
00:06:41.67\00:06:46.87
but that's part
of the attraction,
00:06:46.90\00:06:49.24
it's not only an event.
00:06:49.27\00:06:50.96
It's a destination because you
can either fly to it and land
00:06:50.99\00:06:54.47
on a short airstrip with
bad approaches on each end,
00:06:54.50\00:06:57.67
that appeals to bush pilots or
you can take your four wheeler
00:06:57.70\00:07:01.62
and four wheel in, or you
can mountain bike in or hike in.
00:07:01.65\00:07:04.86
And if you go to booth 222,
the Alaskan Conference booth,
00:07:04.89\00:07:09.42
you will see a friend
of mine there Ryan Wooller,
00:07:09.45\00:07:11.32
he can tell you
about hiking in this year.
00:07:11.35\00:07:13.00
So, it's doable for
many different, you know,
00:07:13.03\00:07:16.07
modes of transportation but
that's part of the excitement
00:07:16.10\00:07:18.82
and that's what guys
really get into is getting out
00:07:18.85\00:07:21.48
in the wilderness and you know
00:07:21.51\00:07:23.31
being challenged with something.
00:07:23.34\00:07:25.01
Now, in the photos that you
have had there on the screen,
00:07:25.04\00:07:28.11
we saw some familiar faces.
00:07:28.14\00:07:30.86
So, this is not only a
ministry for your local people
00:07:30.89\00:07:34.35
but some more of the more
well-known Adventist speakers
00:07:34.38\00:07:37.76
as a retreat for them
to get away from stress
00:07:37.79\00:07:41.07
and get out in nature,
talk a little bit about that.
00:07:41.10\00:07:44.83
Well, there is no cell
phone coverage out there,
00:07:44.86\00:07:46.68
so we can throw
those things away, amen.
00:07:46.71\00:07:49.59
What a treat, no cell phones.
00:07:49.62\00:07:51.98
So, I can't check my
email and all that stuff.
00:07:52.01\00:07:53.96
No, and I'm not going
to loan you my sat phone
00:07:53.99\00:07:55.64
to do that, you know
that's for emergencies only.
00:07:55.67\00:07:57.93
Okay. So it
appeals to just about
00:07:57.96\00:08:00.47
everybody to disconnect
from their electronics,
00:08:00.50\00:08:04.09
get out there, get
away from all that,
00:08:04.12\00:08:06.20
start fellowshipping
with each other and just leave
00:08:06.23\00:08:09.14
all that behind
and so we started,
00:08:09.17\00:08:11.33
I started coming to ASI in 2005.
00:08:11.36\00:08:13.68
When we started the retreat
00:08:13.71\00:08:14.90
and started
recruiting here at ASI.
00:08:14.93\00:08:16.87
This is a great place to do it.
00:08:16.90\00:08:18.44
And so, we've had
Doug Batchelor come.
00:08:18.47\00:08:20.71
Jeff Rich, you who will be
interviewing in a little while,
00:08:20.74\00:08:22.46
he is been there.
00:08:22.49\00:08:23.87
David Gates, Herb
Larson, let's see who have-oh,
00:08:23.90\00:08:27.85
Shawn Boonstra of
course he is been there,
00:08:27.88\00:08:29.66
he was there in 2009 and
he is coming back next year,
00:08:29.69\00:08:32.45
in fact he is going to be
in my house for two weeks,
00:08:32.48\00:08:33.95
he can't get enough of Alaska.
00:08:33.98\00:08:36.70
But, you know, I don't want to,
I don't want to tell you this,
00:08:36.73\00:08:39.20
you know, that you know,
we're bunch of macho guys up
00:08:39.23\00:08:41.70
there because in the 1980's
Alaska was know as the place
00:08:41.73\00:08:46.26
where men were men but
women won the Iditarod.
00:08:46.29\00:08:49.23
You know, and finally
men started to win it again
00:08:49.26\00:08:51.75
but you know there was,
00:08:51.78\00:08:53.05
there is some tough
competition out there.
00:08:53.08\00:08:55.04
In fact there is a lot of women
00:08:55.07\00:08:56.50
that would love to
come to our retreat.
00:08:56.53\00:08:58.42
Sorry, we need to do a
separate retreat for you.
00:08:58.45\00:09:00.86
You know, my wife is
not happy about that.
00:09:00.89\00:09:02.65
She is into the
outdoors and she says,
00:09:02.68\00:09:04.85
no, you can't go up there,
if you are going, I am going.
00:09:04.88\00:09:08.49
And so, we got to work on that.
00:09:08.52\00:09:12.24
Now, you have another
ministry in your community,
00:09:12.27\00:09:14.54
there is a lot of
commercial pilots in Alaska,
00:09:14.57\00:09:16.54
I think everybody in Alaska
is a pretty much a pilot, right.
00:09:16.57\00:09:19.54
Well, that true.
00:09:19.57\00:09:20.60
So tell me about
what you are doing
00:09:20.63\00:09:22.12
as an outreach to
your pilot friends.
00:09:22.15\00:09:25.13
Well, you know I was thinking
last year when I came to ASI,
00:09:25.16\00:09:28.05
I really need to do
something with all these guys
00:09:28.08\00:09:30.48
I know that are pilots
they are not Adventist yet.
00:09:30.51\00:09:34.47
Dwight Nelson told me
don't call them non-Adventist,
00:09:34.50\00:09:36.94
call them pre-Adventist,
because he was here last year.
00:09:36.97\00:09:39.44
In fact if you want to
watch some sermons about Alaska
00:09:39.47\00:09:43.63
and its retreat,
go to life lessons
00:09:43.66\00:09:46.69
from Alaska on pmchruch.tv.
00:09:46.72\00:09:48.87
He has a couple
of sermons there.
00:09:48.90\00:09:50.18
But any way what was I saying.
00:09:50.21\00:09:54.41
You are talking about
your outreach for the pilots.
00:09:54.44\00:09:56.07
Oh, yeah, the
outreach for the men.
00:09:56.10\00:09:58.73
We-I came here and I
met up with Tony Morgan,
00:09:58.76\00:10:02.41
I said, you know that,
that new series he has tracing
00:10:02.44\00:10:05.68
the footsteps to Jesus would
be an excellent little series
00:10:05.71\00:10:10.65
to do a small group with.
00:10:10.68\00:10:12.84
So I started
contacting all my pilot friends
00:10:12.87\00:10:15.10
or so some of them and
we started a small group
00:10:15.13\00:10:17.50
using his tracing
the footsteps to Jesus
00:10:17.53\00:10:19.50
which is an
excellent series by the way,
00:10:19.53\00:10:21.18
I highly recommend it.
00:10:21.21\00:10:22.47
And it's been very well
received by both the Adventists
00:10:22.50\00:10:25.62
that are coming
and the non-Adventists.
00:10:25.65\00:10:26.99
We have bush pilot,
some airline pilots,
00:10:27.02\00:10:29.90
air taxi operators all
kinds of flavor of pilots
00:10:29.93\00:10:33.86
coming to this Bible
study and it's really great,
00:10:33.89\00:10:36.89
we are having a great time.
00:10:36.92\00:10:38.15
Now, this is what ASI
is all about sharing Christ
00:10:38.18\00:10:40.92
in your market place and that's
what Dan is doing in Alaska
00:10:40.95\00:10:45.41
and it hasn't
been without fruit.
00:10:45.44\00:10:48.47
He's actually had
people in the like
00:10:48.50\00:10:50.71
in the men's
retreat that have come back
00:10:50.74\00:10:52.98
to the
Seventh-day Adventist Church
00:10:53.01\00:10:54.18
or actively
studying to be members.
00:10:54.21\00:10:57.81
And if you want
to talk to Dan he is,
00:10:57.84\00:11:02.05
if you are here at the
convention you can find him
00:11:02.08\00:11:03.93
at booth 744 and
also they have a website,
00:11:03.96\00:11:08.64
if you can get online
its intellipaper.info.
00:11:08.67\00:11:13.16
Dan, thank you
very much. Thank you.
00:11:13.19\00:11:18.16
Now we are going to
shift gears a little bit
00:11:18.19\00:11:20.56
and now we are going
to go south...to New York.
00:11:20.59\00:11:28.15
Okay, that's north
to most of us and I have
00:11:28.18\00:11:31.12
the Rosenberger family with me.
00:11:31.15\00:11:33.92
So why don't you tell me your
names and kind of what you do?
00:11:33.95\00:11:39.61
I'm Jolene. And
I'm John Roosenberger
00:11:39.64\00:11:44.66
and this my daughter
Jocelyn, my son John,
00:11:44.69\00:11:48.04
my other son Evan and
my youngest daughter Juval.
00:11:48.07\00:11:52.08
And you are from Albany
in New York and you found
00:11:52.11\00:11:55.72
a very special need in your
community for a refugee group
00:11:55.75\00:12:02.45
and how many of
you have actually
00:12:02.48\00:12:05.23
ever heard of Eric B. Hare.
00:12:05.26\00:12:07.48
Is that name ring a bell.
00:12:07.51\00:12:09.22
I think every hand in
the house just went up.
00:12:09.25\00:12:11.30
You remember those stories.
00:12:11.33\00:12:14.33
We all grew up on
the stories, right?
00:12:14.36\00:12:16.27
And if you haven't read them,
you need to go and find them,
00:12:16.30\00:12:18.33
they are amazing stories.
00:12:18.36\00:12:19.61
But the people group that you
work with are from Burma, right?
00:12:19.64\00:12:23.99
Correct. So, how
are they come in here?
00:12:24.02\00:12:26.73
Tell me a little bit
about what's going on in Albany?
00:12:26.76\00:12:29.35
It was about
five or six years ago
00:12:29.38\00:12:31.84
and we realized or
learned that refugees
00:12:31.87\00:12:36.85
are brought by the
government to the Untied States
00:12:36.88\00:12:40.05
and are resettled in
cities throughout America
00:12:40.08\00:12:43.19
in the inner cities
and our kids were in school
00:12:43.22\00:12:48.48
and our youngest was still,
00:12:48.51\00:12:49.85
Juval was about
two years old then.
00:12:49.88\00:12:52.05
And I prayed to
God, I said true,
00:12:52.08\00:12:56.19
I was a stay home
mom, I'm a stay home mom
00:12:56.22\00:12:58.49
and I said that you
must have something more
00:12:58.52\00:13:00.70
for me to do volunteer
work other than make brownies
00:13:00.73\00:13:03.44
and volunteer at the school now,
00:13:03.47\00:13:04.85
I mean that's very important
00:13:04.88\00:13:06.23
but I was looking
for something more.
00:13:06.26\00:13:07.99
And we have always attended
ASI and I've been very inspired
00:13:08.02\00:13:11.48
by the mission
and when I learned
00:13:11.51\00:13:14.81
that refugees are in
Albany, it was very exciting
00:13:14.84\00:13:17.91
and we contacted
them and we realized,
00:13:17.94\00:13:20.82
we learned that the
cities throughout America
00:13:20.85\00:13:23.87
are desperate for volunteers.
00:13:23.90\00:13:25.95
And so we
signed up as volunteers
00:13:25.98\00:13:27.90
and we met our first
family and we were excited
00:13:27.93\00:13:31.17
that the kids could
be exposed to somebody
00:13:31.20\00:13:33.14
from another culture, and
little did we know that God
00:13:33.17\00:13:37.60
had opened the flood gates.
00:13:37.63\00:13:39.19
And from there we just--
our lives changed dramatically
00:13:39.22\00:13:42.92
because we became
very, very involved
00:13:42.95\00:13:45.50
in that and the mission
of reaching out to immigrants
00:13:45.53\00:13:49.33
and refuges in our inner cities.
00:13:49.36\00:13:51.98
And in Albany it is the
current, this is from Burma
00:13:52.01\00:13:56.82
and they are the largest
group that's been resettled
00:13:56.85\00:13:58.99
right now and it's been
just a wonderful joy to us.
00:13:59.02\00:14:04.44
And as they, as
they settle in America,
00:14:04.47\00:14:09.30
what kind of things are
you doing with and for them,
00:14:09.33\00:14:14.40
to make their experience
better here in Untied States.
00:14:14.43\00:14:17.53
Well, that's the
beauty of volunteering,
00:14:17.56\00:14:19.72
you can be as
involved or uninvolved
00:14:19.75\00:14:21.95
as you want because
you are volunteering,
00:14:21.98\00:14:23.51
no one can fire you.
00:14:23.54\00:14:24.87
And so we--it was every
thing from opening their mail
00:14:24.90\00:14:30.13
and helping them figure
out because when they arrived
00:14:30.16\00:14:32.52
what we quickly realized they
are the poorest of the poor,
00:14:32.55\00:14:35.61
you can't get poorer than them,
they show up at the airport
00:14:35.64\00:14:38.02
with nothing more than a
bag and with the whole family
00:14:38.05\00:14:41.82
with just a little bag and
then our government supports,
00:14:41.85\00:14:47.19
will help them find an
apartment and gives them
00:14:47.23\00:14:49.73
about three months of rent.
00:14:49.76\00:14:51.83
And immediately they are
given work authorization permit
00:14:51.86\00:14:55.23
after that it sink or swim.
00:14:55.26\00:14:57.37
And so they are in
desperate need of help
00:14:57.40\00:15:00.09
and so it's
everything from helping the kids
00:15:00.12\00:15:03.92
get enrolled in
school, to helping them
00:15:03.95\00:15:05.69
with doctors appointments,
to helping them with their mail,
00:15:05.72\00:15:08.09
to helping them and in
the course of all that,
00:15:08.12\00:15:10.84
you just become
friends and you really
00:15:10.87\00:15:12.86
develop a connection with them.
00:15:12.89\00:15:14.67
And the kids
developed friendships
00:15:14.70\00:15:16.82
with the refugee
children and they became
00:15:16.85\00:15:21.27
my close
friends and these woman,
00:15:21.30\00:15:23.50
I mean we laugh
together, we cry together
00:15:23.53\00:15:26.03
and they come over to our
home and we go to their home
00:15:26.06\00:15:29.35
and what's been so
rewarding is that we watch them
00:15:29.38\00:15:33.21
a lot of the little kids
you know like five years ago
00:15:33.24\00:15:36.15
and now they are ten
years old and they have grown up
00:15:36.18\00:15:38.83
and so we go to their functions,
birthdays and it's like
00:15:38.86\00:15:46.49
our family has extended and we
have a big extended family now.
00:15:46.52\00:15:51.05
And so we just
praise God though,
00:15:51.08\00:15:52.85
we have been
given this privilege.
00:15:52.88\00:15:54.37
On top of helping them
with the day to day needs,
00:15:54.40\00:15:57.07
you are also, there
is a spiritual element
00:15:57.10\00:15:59.91
to what you are doing?
00:15:59.94\00:16:01.30
And there is a
ministry here at ASI
00:16:01.33\00:16:04.92
that we've
probably all heard of,
00:16:04.95\00:16:06.15
what is that and tell us that
going with the spiritual side?
00:16:06.18\00:16:09.99
As we got more
involved, I quickly realized
00:16:10.02\00:16:12.81
that there is a piece of
this that's way over our heads
00:16:12.84\00:16:16.28
and we are not pastors,
my husband is a PhD chemist
00:16:16.31\00:16:20.50
and I'm a mom and
I've a psyche background
00:16:20.53\00:16:24.68
but while we can do the
mail and we can help them
00:16:24.71\00:16:28.33
find the local
Asian grocery store
00:16:28.36\00:16:30.48
and we can be friends,
we can't pray with them
00:16:30.51\00:16:33.65
in their own language
and we saw that that's like
00:16:33.68\00:16:36.54
the most important
thing that you can do.
00:16:36.57\00:16:39.37
And so we reached out
00:16:39.40\00:16:41.31
to Adventist Southeast Asia
Projects and we knew that ASI
00:16:41.34\00:16:46.24
has a slew of ministries
00:16:46.27\00:16:48.23
and Adventist Southeast
Asia Projects supports Asians
00:16:48.26\00:16:52.24
and refuges and these
are refuges from Burma,
00:16:52.27\00:16:55.10
so we said please,
please help us find
00:16:55.13\00:16:57.89
an ethnic
pastor that can help us
00:16:57.92\00:17:01.49
and can reach
out to these people.
00:17:01.52\00:17:04.52
So it took a little while
but they did respond finally
00:17:04.55\00:17:08.81
in about two years ago,
they provided us small stipend
00:17:08.84\00:17:13.04
for our current
pastor to come and help,
00:17:13.07\00:17:19.89
reach these people
and he settled in our area
00:17:19.92\00:17:22.45
and it was just a blessing.
00:17:22.48\00:17:24.97
I mean to this day we
praise God for Pastor Satoo
00:17:25.00\00:17:28.14
that's his name and
his family who helped.
00:17:28.17\00:17:31.76
And he
immediately began a church
00:17:31.79\00:17:34.93
and what's the beauty because
I thank you to Eric B. Hare
00:17:34.96\00:17:38.21
so many of the
Karen are Christians.
00:17:38.24\00:17:40.90
And so he started a
service in his home on Sabbath
00:17:40.93\00:17:45.26
and we had been attending
a very comfortable church
00:17:45.29\00:17:48.79
and we just decided
about two years ago,
00:17:48.82\00:17:52.85
or a year and half
ago that, you know,
00:17:52.88\00:17:54.37
what we'll just
decide, we will just make this
00:17:54.40\00:17:56.62
our own mission trip for a year,
we'll stop attending our church
00:17:56.65\00:18:00.85
and we will go
to this home church.
00:18:00.88\00:18:02.84
And so every Sabbath we
wear Karen clothing like
00:18:02.87\00:18:05.73
this and we go sit on the
floor and we worship together
00:18:05.76\00:18:09.58
and even though
it's in another language,
00:18:09.61\00:18:13.02
the songs are the same
and we are all praising God
00:18:13.05\00:18:15.92
and singing and worshiping.
00:18:15.95\00:18:18.75
Now, you've had quite
a few people attending
00:18:18.78\00:18:21.12
now and actually there
has been baptisms involvement.
00:18:21.15\00:18:24.69
Yeah. Now, this is something
00:18:24.72\00:18:26.13
we are out of time unfortunately
but this is something
00:18:26.16\00:18:29.11
that people can do
pretty much anywhere,
00:18:29.14\00:18:31.48
these people are everywhere
in the Untied States and so?
00:18:31.51\00:18:36.11
Well, that's why
we're up here because,
00:18:36.14\00:18:38.23
we just--every city, large
city in America has refugees
00:18:38.26\00:18:44.35
and your city does too.
00:18:44.38\00:18:46.36
The city, the large
city that's nearest to you
00:18:46.39\00:18:49.12
and in these cities
there is a refugee agency
00:18:49.15\00:18:52.10
that you can contact and get
involved and become a volunteer
00:18:52.13\00:18:57.02
and it's so rewarding
and we have been so humbled
00:18:57.05\00:19:01.06
and we feel so privileged
that God has given this ministry
00:19:01.09\00:19:05.87
to us and it's
enriched our lives dramatically.
00:19:05.90\00:19:08.61
Our family has increased them,
everyone has joined our family
00:19:08.64\00:19:12.23
and I mean we
could go on and on.
00:19:12.26\00:19:14.26
But, Adventist Southeast
Asia has been--ASAP projects
00:19:14.29\00:19:19.25
have been critical in this piece
as well as the local church,
00:19:19.28\00:19:22.94
the Northeastern Conference
Pastor Cook is the pastor
00:19:22.97\00:19:27.31
who reached out in
his church warmly embraced
00:19:27.34\00:19:31.23
these people and our group
00:19:31.26\00:19:33.46
and so it's God is
blessing every way.
00:19:33.49\00:19:37.16
And I would
encourage you and I hope
00:19:37.19\00:19:40.38
that if you feel on your
heart that you would like
00:19:40.41\00:19:45.31
to be involved in a
ministry that--like ASI
00:19:45.34\00:19:49.86
has a lot of ministries but
there is nothing like actually
00:19:49.89\00:19:52.62
being involved and doing
that yourself and it really
00:19:52.65\00:19:55.18
is a mission on our doorstep.
00:19:55.21\00:19:56.96
Thank you very much. Thank you.
00:19:56.99\00:19:58.81
Now, if you want to stop
00:19:58.84\00:19:59.87
by their booth, they
will be there on Sabbath.
00:19:59.90\00:20:02.53
Their booth number is 419
00:20:02.56\00:20:04.26
and website is
asapministries.org.
00:20:04.29\00:20:09.27
Now moving on furtherdown
south, way down south.
00:20:09.30\00:20:17.23
Jose, how do you
say your last name?
00:20:17.26\00:20:19.68
Suazo. Suazo. All right,
00:20:19.71\00:20:22.21
now, you have a ministry
called Vida international.
00:20:22.24\00:20:26.69
That's right.
Tell me what you do?
00:20:26.72\00:20:28.38
Well, we have a
wonderful a ministry in Honduras
00:20:28.41\00:20:32.96
and I had to tell
you, you might disagree
00:20:32.99\00:20:34.50
with me but I had to tell
you that I believe that Honduras
00:20:34.53\00:20:37.12
is the most
beautiful country in the world.
00:20:37.15\00:20:39.34
And we have this
ministry over there,
00:20:39.37\00:20:41.50
we have, we do a medical
missionary training program.
00:20:41.53\00:20:44.61
We do--we have a
bilingual elementary school.
00:20:44.64\00:20:47.01
We do lots of life style work
and the Lord is richly blessing.
00:20:47.04\00:20:50.16
Now, you have a
special school there,
00:20:50.19\00:20:52.12
an educational
facility, tell me about that?
00:20:52.15\00:20:54.53
So, we have a
Bible school called
00:20:54.56\00:20:56.51
the Instituto
Biblico Centroamericano
00:20:56.54\00:20:58.58
and we have
there, we train basically
00:20:58.61\00:21:00.77
people from all
over Central America.
00:21:00.80\00:21:03.70
This year we have 13 students,
some are from Salvador,
00:21:03.73\00:21:06.12
some are from
Honduras, some are from Brazil,
00:21:06.15\00:21:08.83
some are from the
States and we get them through
00:21:08.86\00:21:12.06
this program in 10 months.
00:21:12.09\00:21:13.46
They have an evangelism program,
00:21:13.49\00:21:15.07
they will go out
in the community,
00:21:15.10\00:21:16.51
they knock on
doors, they receive
00:21:16.54\00:21:18.60
the health training,
massage, hydrotherapy
00:21:18.63\00:21:21.20
and they do a
leadership training,
00:21:21.23\00:21:22.42
so that they are able to have
to put together all these tools
00:21:22.45\00:21:25.07
and be able to be
effective witnesses for the Lord
00:21:25.10\00:21:27.66
over there in the
communities in Latin America.
00:21:27.69\00:21:30.19
Now, there are some
special outreach programs
00:21:30.22\00:21:32.68
that those students do
right in the local villages.
00:21:32.71\00:21:37.39
Tell me about that?
00:21:37.42\00:21:38.73
Yes, actually this year we
had a couple of our students
00:21:38.76\00:21:41.74
who saw a
wonderful need in the village
00:21:41.77\00:21:43.72
where they were working,
right, and they were receiving
00:21:43.75\00:21:45.30
their training and they saw
that there were in the community
00:21:45.33\00:21:48.43
some people that
had disabilities.
00:21:48.46\00:21:50.53
And these people
with disabilities,
00:21:50.56\00:21:51.84
they were not, they
were not reached by anybody.
00:21:51.87\00:21:53.96
They wouldn't go to school,
00:21:53.99\00:21:55.29
they were just
basically stay in their houses.
00:21:55.32\00:21:57.20
And two of the students,
one of them had training
00:21:57.23\00:21:59.68
in special education and
she decided as part of her
00:21:59.71\00:22:02.47
outreach program, as part of her
00:22:02.50\00:22:03.64
evangelism training that she
would minister to these people.
00:22:03.67\00:22:06.28
And she went out into the
village and found these kids
00:22:06.31\00:22:09.00
with disability,
some of them cannot speak,
00:22:09.03\00:22:10.77
some of them had a
hard time walking and doing
00:22:10.80\00:22:13.02
some of the
basic things in life.
00:22:13.05\00:22:14.72
And she would
take the time together
00:22:14.75\00:22:16.18
with her classmate
and minister to them
00:22:16.21\00:22:19.14
and the impact that
this has had--has had
00:22:19.17\00:22:21.46
in these-in these
people who are forsaken
00:22:21.49\00:22:23.64
by the community and also
00:22:23.67\00:22:25.33
in the family
members is just impressive.
00:22:25.36\00:22:27.29
And to see that that was
the initiative of students
00:22:27.32\00:22:30.23
who are receiving
this evangelistic training.
00:22:30.26\00:22:33.30
Now, you have a--
for younger students
00:22:33.33\00:22:36.12
you have a
bilingual school, okay.
00:22:36.15\00:22:38.64
So what are the
age groups that are,
00:22:38.67\00:22:40.61
that are in the
bilingual school?
00:22:40.64\00:22:42.25
Okay, we have-- we just
started our bilingual school,
00:22:42.28\00:22:44.24
you have to understand
that in Latin America,
00:22:44.27\00:22:46.55
the bilingual school
system is exclusively
00:22:46.58\00:22:48.97
for people who are wealthy.
00:22:49.00\00:22:50.53
And we're working in a
village and this village
00:22:50.56\00:22:53.55
their education
system is very poor.
00:22:53.58\00:22:55.84
And so and in this village
50 new kids are born every year.
00:22:55.87\00:22:59.21
So we decided, okay,
we're doing lots of evangelism,
00:22:59.24\00:23:01.16
we're doing lots of
outreach for the older people
00:23:01.19\00:23:03.18
but what can we do with this
00:23:03.21\00:23:04.25
new generation
that is coming up?
00:23:04.28\00:23:05.84
And so we decided to
establish a bilingual school
00:23:05.87\00:23:08.68
that would be available to
this people in this community
00:23:08.71\00:23:11.08
who would never otherwise
have a chance to receive
00:23:11.11\00:23:13.44
this prime education
and we have decided to start
00:23:13.47\00:23:16.37
with a kindergarten and
this year we already have
00:23:16.40\00:23:20.42
first grade and we are
already looking forward
00:23:20.45\00:23:22.37
for second grade next year
when this school year ends.
00:23:22.40\00:23:25.55
And it has been a powerful
impact in the community.
00:23:25.62\00:23:27.55
The first year,
we had the amazing
00:23:27.58\00:23:29.42
number of two students.
00:23:29.45\00:23:31.22
Can somebody say
amen to two students?
00:23:31.25\00:23:33.42
And this year our classes are
almost completely packed full
00:23:33.45\00:23:36.84
and the impact
that these two kids
00:23:36.87\00:23:38.48
had in the community
is really impressive.
00:23:38.51\00:23:40.53
They go out there and
the rest of the community
00:23:40.56\00:23:43.18
saw what was
taking place and saw
00:23:43.21\00:23:44.34
that they were speaking English,
saw the impact in the community
00:23:44.37\00:23:46.89
and they decided to more people
00:23:46.92\00:23:48.59
started deciding to
come and send their kids.
00:23:48.62\00:23:50.41
Actually we had
a parent meeting,
00:23:50.44\00:23:52.89
parent meeting in the
campus and one of the parents
00:23:52.92\00:23:56.60
is been dragged
by one of the kids
00:23:56.63\00:23:58.13
and I'm working in the
garden right at the entrance.
00:23:58.16\00:23:59.98
She opens, they open the
gate and I think to myself
00:24:00.01\00:24:03.18
what's going on and the
lady looks kind of distressed
00:24:03.21\00:24:06.44
and she is carrying a younger
baby and she is been dragged
00:24:06.47\00:24:08.30
by one our
students into the campus
00:24:08.33\00:24:10.71
and it's a Sunday for
these parent meetings.
00:24:10.74\00:24:12.71
And she tells me you
know I have a problem
00:24:12.74\00:24:14.55
and I thought to
myself, oh, man what happened.
00:24:14.58\00:24:16.47
And she tells me, you
know, my kid on Sunday,
00:24:16.50\00:24:20.73
she got early in the morning
set her uniform up because
00:24:20.76\00:24:23.18
she wants to go to
school and there is no classes
00:24:23.21\00:24:25.71
on Sunday and she was
just pestering her mom
00:24:25.74\00:24:28.22
because she is,
mom, can we go now, mom,
00:24:28.25\00:24:29.85
can we go now, I
want to go to school.
00:24:29.88\00:24:31.42
So, it has had
a wonderful impact
00:24:31.45\00:24:32.87
over there in the community
00:24:32.90\00:24:33.93
and the Lord is reaching not
just these kids that seem seen
00:24:33.96\00:24:37.33
that the kids are
dragging their parents,
00:24:37.36\00:24:39.08
that's happening also in church.
00:24:39.11\00:24:41.00
These kids-- some of the parents
00:24:41.03\00:24:42.30
are actually
coming to our church.
00:24:42.33\00:24:45.20
Praise God. Now, Jose you have
00:24:45.23\00:24:47.93
a story-let me just back
up, you do lifestyle training
00:24:47.96\00:24:52.98
in the community there as well
and other surroundings villages
00:24:53.01\00:24:56.99
and there is a
special story you have about
00:24:57.02\00:24:59.42
the wheelbarrow,
tell me that story?
00:24:59.45\00:25:00.59
Yes, we actually
one day, we started
00:25:00.62\00:25:02.82
this lifestyle
program and one day through
00:25:02.85\00:25:06.54
the gates of our property comes
a lady called Doniato Massita
00:25:06.57\00:25:09.63
and Doniato Massa is
being brought by her children
00:25:09.66\00:25:12.67
on a wheelbarrow, right.
00:25:12.70\00:25:14.60
She is a
diabetic, she is really ill
00:25:14.63\00:25:16.96
and they came over
for this lifestyle session
00:25:16.99\00:25:19.75
because she really
needed help and our nurse
00:25:19.78\00:25:21.88
started taking her
blood pressure and taking
00:25:21.91\00:25:25.25
her sugar and she
looks at me and she tell me,
00:25:25.28\00:25:27.55
Jose this lady is a
walking corpse, right.
00:25:27.58\00:25:31.36
She actually took
insulin and her blood sugar
00:25:31.39\00:25:33.68
is over the skies and
something needs to happen.
00:25:33.71\00:25:36.88
She stayed there
for a ten day program
00:25:36.91\00:25:39.32
and through the
simple natural remedies
00:25:39.35\00:25:42.18
and the lifestyle
change and the exercise,
00:25:42.21\00:25:44.80
an amazing thing starts taking
place by the time she leaves.
00:25:44.83\00:25:48.22
She calls her
children and she says,
00:25:48.25\00:25:49.74
I won't need the
wheelbarrow anymore.
00:25:49.77\00:25:51.61
I can walk all the way
to the village by myself.
00:25:51.64\00:25:54.17
And I go jogging
during the morning and guess
00:25:54.20\00:25:57.14
who I find there in the
morning, Doniato Massita
00:25:57.17\00:25:59.09
is walking with her
grandchildren and I asked,
00:25:59.12\00:26:01.45
Doniato Massita,
what are you doing here?
00:26:01.48\00:26:02.99
And she tells me
the same thing you are,
00:26:03.02\00:26:04.83
taking care of my body
like you guys taught me.
00:26:04.86\00:26:07.97
Praise God. Wow,
so if someone wants
00:26:08.00\00:26:13.78
to be involved in your ministry,
you have a website, right,
00:26:13.81\00:26:16.63
that they can get hold of you.
00:26:16.66\00:26:17.90
Yes, our website is
vida-internacional.org.
00:26:17.93\00:26:20.50
Please come to Honduras,
please come to Honduras,
00:26:26.58\00:26:29.19
come to Honduras.
00:26:29.22\00:26:30.86
Thank you very much, Jose.
00:26:30.89\00:26:32.08
You are welcome.
Let's see who we have here.
00:26:32.11\00:26:36.63
Could you please
tell us who you are
00:26:36.66\00:26:39.40
and where you are coming from?
00:26:39.43\00:26:42.16
I'm Sandra
Ruperz from Guatemala.
00:26:42.19\00:26:45.75
He is my husband, Wang Carlos.
00:26:45.78\00:26:48.32
Wang Carlos Depess.
00:26:48.35\00:26:50.38
Manuel Alva from Chicago.
00:26:50.41\00:26:52.42
Okay, very good, okay Dr. Alva,
00:26:52.45\00:26:56.48
can you tell us what
is, how you share Christ
00:26:56.51\00:27:00.85
into your market place?
00:27:00.88\00:27:02.36
Well, I think we have been
here in the past with my wife.
00:27:02.39\00:27:05.89
We have a practice
gastroenterology practice
00:27:05.92\00:27:08.98
in Chicago and we see
patients with many problems,
00:27:09.01\00:27:12.77
many Latino
patients with overweight,
00:27:12.80\00:27:15.26
obesity, fatty
livers, colon cancer.
00:27:15.29\00:27:19.35
And we provide them
with medical education.
00:27:19.38\00:27:24.91
My family is there
active in providing them
00:27:24.94\00:27:28.37
with two to
three hours, sometimes
00:27:28.40\00:27:29.78
in nutritional
counseling and better life.
00:27:29.81\00:27:33.89
They had the opportunity
of receiving literature,
00:27:33.92\00:27:36.90
Steps to Christ in different
shapes and different titles
00:27:36.93\00:27:40.17
and take those home
and they invite us sometime
00:27:40.20\00:27:42.42
they manifest an
interest in spiritual things.
00:27:42.45\00:27:44.96
They are invited to attend our
small church plant in Oak Park.
00:27:44.99\00:27:49.46
We have a vegetarian potluck.
00:27:49.49\00:27:53.57
We have a health class
every Sabbath besides studying
00:27:53.60\00:27:56.63
the Sabbath school
lesson and hearing the message
00:27:56.66\00:27:59.11
and we decided to do that
about, about four years ago.
00:27:59.14\00:28:02.87
The Lord just called us during
one of these ASI meetings.
00:28:02.90\00:28:05.85
We saw some of our
colleagues here saying
00:28:05.88\00:28:08.17
we are going to do a
church plant in our offices,
00:28:08.20\00:28:10.38
so we thought may
be that's the Lord
00:28:10.41\00:28:12.97
is calling us to do that.
00:28:13.00\00:28:14.41
So we started a small
church plant in the lobby
00:28:14.44\00:28:18.51
of the hospital where we work.
00:28:18.54\00:28:21.12
That lobby is a common
property of many other practices
00:28:21.15\00:28:24.46
and we were supposed
to give health classes.
00:28:24.49\00:28:28.82
Pretty soon those
health classes ended up being
00:28:28.85\00:28:31.23
Bible studies and
we met every Sabbath.
00:28:31.26\00:28:34.05
They gave us permission
to use that on Saturday,
00:28:34.08\00:28:37.29
because there
were no clinics open.
00:28:37.32\00:28:41.88
But very soon,
they started asking us
00:28:41.91\00:28:43.40
are you a church
or you a health class
00:28:43.43\00:28:46.11
or what are you doing there?
00:28:46.14\00:28:47.24
We have a close circuit
TV and we see that you know,
00:28:47.27\00:28:50.87
kneel down and you
sing and you bring musicians
00:28:50.90\00:28:53.36
sometimes and they
say, you won't be able
00:28:53.39\00:28:55.77
to do this any more,
other churches are going
00:28:55.80\00:28:59.68
to come to us for
the use of the space,
00:28:59.71\00:29:02.18
so we were forced to
look for another place
00:29:02.21\00:29:04.63
and we got a car wash.
00:29:04.66\00:29:06.29
A long behold
this, this young man
00:29:06.32\00:29:08.14
that you see here, three
and half years ago, Wang Carlos.
00:29:08.17\00:29:11.14
But wait a minute,
so you had a car wash
00:29:11.17\00:29:13.54
where you met, I mean,
00:29:13.57\00:29:14.82
explain that, tell
me? We used to meet
00:29:14.85\00:29:16.24
in a car wash. Okay.
00:29:16.27\00:29:17.64
It lasted for six
months enough for God
00:29:17.67\00:29:20.28
to bring this young man
there and then God moves us down
00:29:20.31\00:29:23.44
were in another
church we have a rented space
00:29:23.47\00:29:26.50
in another church
that we meet every Sabbath.
00:29:26.53\00:29:29.09
Okay, so you get your
patients and you invite them
00:29:29.12\00:29:34.22
to have classes so
how they can learn,
00:29:34.25\00:29:38.48
new lifestyle,
but you meet with them
00:29:38.51\00:29:41.43
and you share with them
about the Bible, about Christ.
00:29:41.46\00:29:44.75
Yes, yeah and I
say, as I was mentioning
00:29:44.78\00:29:48.05
three and half years ago,
Wang Carlos was in Guatemala.
00:29:48.08\00:29:51.08
Okay. And he had lost
his vision about 10 years
00:29:51.11\00:29:55.13
before that in an auto accident.
00:29:55.16\00:29:57.22
He used to drink
and one of those days
00:29:57.25\00:29:59.07
that he was drinking
he had this accident.
00:29:59.10\00:30:00.72
He was expelled through
the windshield and pieces
00:30:00.75\00:30:03.84
of the crystal were
imbedded in his eyes.
00:30:03.87\00:30:06.29
Since he was
drunk he just rub them
00:30:06.32\00:30:07.83
and lost his vision that way.
00:30:07.86\00:30:10.33
He was in our
Rehabilitation Hospital,
00:30:10.36\00:30:12.12
they tried to save one
of his eyes and he can see
00:30:12.15\00:30:15.53
a little pinhole out
of the left eye enough
00:30:15.56\00:30:19.62
to probably see
light its night or day.
00:30:19.65\00:30:22.58
But about 10 years
after this accident
00:30:22.61\00:30:25.38
he was trying to make
a living in Guatemala,
00:30:25.41\00:30:27.47
he used to drive
with that little vision.
00:30:27.50\00:30:29.33
Wow. And he was guided
00:30:29.36\00:30:31.50
by the little white lines on one
side and the red lights in front
00:30:31.53\00:30:34.73
that he will break if he
see the red lights coming on
00:30:34.76\00:30:37.08
and on two
occasions rain came suddenly
00:30:37.11\00:30:40.77
and he was out in
the country driving
00:30:40.80\00:30:43.36
and he just couldn't
see, he told me that he felt
00:30:43.39\00:30:48.06
the hand taking
control of the wheel.
00:30:48.09\00:30:50.59
And he started
thinking that there is somebody
00:30:50.62\00:30:52.16
that has control
over these things.
00:30:52.19\00:30:54.87
He started thinking about
the God that was doing that
00:30:54.90\00:30:58.06
and on the second
occasion that happened,
00:30:58.09\00:31:00.07
Wang Carlos told me.
00:31:00.10\00:31:01.64
He just said, okay, Lord if you
want to drive, take the wheel.
00:31:01.71\00:31:05.76
And he arrived after a
few minutes of driving,
00:31:05.79\00:31:08.45
he arrived safely home.
00:31:08.48\00:31:10.32
Amen. So, that's something.
00:31:10.35\00:31:12.15
Some one tells to
Carlos in Guatemala,
00:31:12.18\00:31:14.12
you probably should
travel to the States.
00:31:14.15\00:31:15.68
Okay, how you met him
00:31:15.71\00:31:17.70
and what you did
when you met him?
00:31:17.73\00:31:20.90
Well, actually
the Lord knew this
00:31:20.93\00:31:22.79
and he brought Wang
Carlos to the car wash.
00:31:22.82\00:31:25.40
He-Wang Carlos
came to Chicago hoping
00:31:25.43\00:31:28.66
for an ophthalmological reatment
00:31:28.69\00:31:30.26
that wasn't
available for him anyway.
00:31:30.29\00:31:31.85
They told him the
injury is too old,
00:31:31.88\00:31:34.11
so he had a dream in
which he is looking for a job
00:31:34.14\00:31:38.97
and he saw a car
wash in the dream.
00:31:39.00\00:31:41.76
So he thought the
next morning I approached
00:31:41.79\00:31:43.42
to go and get a job, you know,
00:31:43.45\00:31:45.63
looking different stores to see
00:31:45.66\00:31:47.04
if they need help
with that little vision.
00:31:47.07\00:31:49.92
And he saw the car wash
that he dreamt and he was,
00:31:49.95\00:31:53.80
you know, dubious about going
or not and finally he went in.
00:31:53.83\00:31:58.84
And that's where he met you guys
00:31:58.87\00:32:00.87
and you started
studying the Bible with him.
00:32:00.90\00:32:03.77
He was offered Bible studies.
00:32:03.80\00:32:06.47
My mother like
give him Bible studies.
00:32:06.50\00:32:08.63
He couldn't have
just one Bible study
00:32:08.66\00:32:10.63
or two or three,
he want to finish
00:32:10.66\00:32:13.83
this booklet for just, you know,
one night if it was possible.
00:32:13.86\00:32:17.18
But at the end of the studies
there was only a couple of weeks
00:32:17.21\00:32:20.59
or three weeks, he
wanted to be baptized.
00:32:20.62\00:32:22.77
Oh, praise the
Lord, so he got baptized?
00:32:22.80\00:32:25.79
He was baptized and I
think there were some slides,
00:32:25.82\00:32:28.41
I don't know if they
are there. Some pictures,
00:32:28.44\00:32:29.47
okay, they are right there.
00:32:29.50\00:32:30.58
They put an
inflatable pool of the car wash
00:32:30.61\00:32:32.41
and Wang Carlos was the
first fruit of that church,
00:32:32.44\00:32:35.84
that's the pastor
baptizing him there.
00:32:35.87\00:32:38.79
But, that wasn't
enough for Wang Carlos.
00:32:38.82\00:32:41.75
He went back to Guatemala.
00:32:41.78\00:32:44.18
He gave the message to his
family, they were baptized.
00:32:44.21\00:32:46.84
And he went to
your school after that,
00:32:46.87\00:32:50.90
because after he was baptized,
00:32:50.93\00:32:53.05
the Lord gave him sustenance
for the rest of his life.
00:32:53.08\00:32:57.03
A telephone company decided
to rent the roof of his house
00:32:57.06\00:33:00.09
in Guatemala and
they paid him a lease.
00:33:00.12\00:33:03.46
So he said now I'm
free, I can serve God.
00:33:03.49\00:33:06.53
He wanted to go to a
school to be prepared so,
00:33:06.56\00:33:08.55
your school Galeana,
Nuevo Leon in Mexico,
00:33:08.58\00:33:13.37
was the one that
took this young man.
00:33:13.40\00:33:15.50
Well, you asked me if
we can take a blind person
00:33:15.53\00:33:18.24
as a student, and we say yes.
00:33:18.27\00:33:21.04
And he came and what
he did was outstanding.
00:33:21.07\00:33:23.85
He did very well and
we just praise the Lord
00:33:23.88\00:33:27.48
for how he was so enthusiastic
about getting these training
00:33:27.51\00:33:31.03
and he is in fire for
the Lord and now that he got
00:33:31.06\00:33:34.35
his training, what happened?
00:33:34.38\00:33:36.34
Well, a few days
later this young lady,
00:33:36.37\00:33:38.22
you see this brochure
about a school in Galeana.
00:33:38.25\00:33:41.16
She is visiting with her family
in another town in Mexico.
00:33:41.19\00:33:45.13
And what do you think Sandra?
00:33:45.16\00:33:46.24
What do you think about this?
00:33:46.27\00:33:48.43
This is the place
where I want to be,
00:33:48.46\00:33:52.16
I want to go here.
00:33:52.19\00:33:56.16
She just read it in English.
00:33:56.19\00:33:58.85
And she went there.
00:33:58.88\00:34:01.29
Both of them met as TMS in
our school in Mexico and boy,
00:34:01.32\00:34:07.31
they fall in love
and they got married.
00:34:07.34\00:34:11.51
You know that happen
quite often in our school.
00:34:11.54\00:34:14.34
You know, we have people there,
00:34:14.37\00:34:16.47
we have seen so many
marriage coming out of there,
00:34:16.50\00:34:18.76
that is amazing but,
this is a real blessing.
00:34:18.79\00:34:22.35
And so what is the plans
for the future with Wang?
00:34:22.38\00:34:26.41
Well, they were
married four years ago.
00:34:26.44\00:34:28.52
Your plans are--
00:34:28.55\00:34:31.52
[speaking in foreign language]
00:34:31.55\00:34:37.28
I'm about three years with
having spiritual vision now,
00:34:40.36\00:34:43.77
I'm not blind any more.
00:34:43.80\00:34:47.76
[Speaking in foreign language]
00:34:47.79\00:34:51.19
God has great plans for us.
00:34:59.40\00:35:00.73
We have a group
of disable people,
00:35:00.76\00:35:02.46
he met some disable people
00:35:02.49\00:35:03.64
when he was in rehabilitation
back some years ago.
00:35:03.67\00:35:06.82
They are still his friends
and they are in the process
00:35:06.85\00:35:09.47
of helping them
with enterprises.
00:35:09.50\00:35:12.11
Amen. So, with his
limitation, here he is starting
00:35:12.14\00:35:16.60
his own ministry in Guatemala
to help the people like him
00:35:16.63\00:35:21.70
and with all limitation and
if somebody with his limitations
00:35:21.73\00:35:26.87
are willing is
doing this, how about
00:35:26.90\00:35:31.27
what can you tell
Dr. Alva to other people
00:35:31.30\00:35:34.39
that we like to
embrace in the God's work.
00:35:34.42\00:35:37.64
What would you
tell them in closing?
00:35:37.67\00:35:39.60
Well, he has been so efficient,
00:35:39.63\00:35:40.97
he is puts us to shame, he
goes back to our little church
00:35:41.00\00:35:43.49
plant and he has memorized
portions of the scriptures,
00:35:43.52\00:35:48.27
he's memorized portions
of the Spirit of Prophecy.
00:35:48.30\00:35:50.89
He can give a health
talk and he will say like
00:35:50.92\00:35:53.38
the Ministry of
Healing says page 126 blah blah
00:35:53.41\00:35:56.12
it's amazing, it
puts us to shame.
00:35:56.15\00:35:58.31
It tells us that we
need to get up and get moving
00:35:58.34\00:36:01.22
where the Lord wants us to do.
00:36:01.25\00:36:02.28
We need to get about
our father's business.
00:36:02.31\00:36:04.03
Amen, amen. Thank you very much.
00:36:04.06\00:36:06.37
If you want to
know more information,
00:36:06.40\00:36:07.95
they will be available to you.
00:36:07.98\00:36:09.79
If you see them
around greet him,
00:36:09.82\00:36:11.18
they have this brochures about
their organization in Guatemala.
00:36:11.21\00:36:14.21
Also, these brochures are
going to be in the LCI booth
00:36:14.24\00:36:17.23
if you would like to get more
information about this ministry,
00:36:17.26\00:36:20.17
please stop by the LCI
booth and get more information.
00:36:20.20\00:36:23.50
Thank you. Good evening.
00:36:23.53\00:36:27.71
Good to be here
with you this evening.
00:36:27.74\00:36:29.37
I have Marc Coleman here from
Adventist Frontier Missions.
00:36:29.40\00:36:32.29
We know Adventist
Frontier Missions as AFM.
00:36:32.32\00:36:35.98
And you told me you
are the Regional Director
00:36:36.01\00:36:38.89
from Africa for AFM.
00:36:38.92\00:36:40.93
And when you told
me that I was like,
00:36:40.96\00:36:42.28
Regional Director from
Africa, just like more like
00:36:42.31\00:36:45.91
the continental director, right.
00:36:45.94\00:36:48.22
So tell us a
little bit about AFM.
00:36:48.25\00:36:49.79
Well, as you know
Adventist Frontier Missions
00:36:49.82\00:36:53.21
goes to reach the unreached.
00:36:53.24\00:36:55.84
That is people who
haven't yet heard the gospel,
00:36:55.87\00:36:57.82
where the church is still
very small or nonexistent.
00:36:57.85\00:37:00.95
We send missionaries
and not just missionaries
00:37:00.98\00:37:03.00
from North America by
the way but missionaries
00:37:03.03\00:37:05.00
from around the
world, go to plant a church.
00:37:05.03\00:37:08.88
And, yes, it's true that
I'm the Africa field director,
00:37:08.91\00:37:13.42
but right now AFM is in a
time of growth just opened
00:37:13.45\00:37:18.37
an affiliate
office in South Africa
00:37:18.40\00:37:21.02
and there are other
parts, other offices opening
00:37:21.05\00:37:23.40
in other parts of the world.
00:37:23.43\00:37:24.68
So they will probably
be more of me very soon.
00:37:24.71\00:37:26.89
You know in my travels,
00:37:26.92\00:37:27.95
I've had an opportunity
to bump into AFM missionary
00:37:27.98\00:37:30.59
so I had a
first hand opportunity
00:37:30.62\00:37:32.61
from the outside
looking in and seeing
00:37:32.64\00:37:33.92
some of the
projects and terrific work.
00:37:33.95\00:37:36.07
My hats off to people
who go overseas and work.
00:37:36.10\00:37:38.62
You were telling me where
you raised Adventist like?
00:37:38.65\00:37:40.94
I was raised
Seventh-day Adventist.
00:37:40.97\00:37:42.05
You were raised
Seventh-day Adventist
00:37:42.08\00:37:43.39
and you became
missionary? That's right.
00:37:43.42\00:37:45.50
How did that happen?
00:37:45.53\00:37:46.83
Well, right just after my
conversion in high school,
00:37:46.86\00:37:50.09
I was looking at,
it was in the mid 80's
00:37:50.12\00:37:52.06
and I was watching television.
00:37:52.09\00:37:54.39
You had a conversion
experience in high school?
00:37:54.42\00:37:56.19
I did. I wish I could have
00:37:56.22\00:37:57.90
and explain
that one to me, okay.
00:37:57.93\00:37:59.83
And I was
watching television and saw
00:37:59.86\00:38:04.26
the large of displaced, large
groups of displaced persons
00:38:04.29\00:38:08.81
in East Africa
especially Ethiopia.
00:38:08.84\00:38:10.95
And it was like the Lord
was speaking to me and I said
00:38:10.98\00:38:12.84
you know what,
that's what I want to do,
00:38:12.87\00:38:14.91
and that's where I want to be.
00:38:14.94\00:38:16.10
And years later I
was a Bible worker
00:38:16.13\00:38:17.97
after finishing
college in Seattle,
00:38:18.00\00:38:19.84
and as I went door to
door working with people.
00:38:19.87\00:38:22.86
I ran across a lot of
refuges from Southeast Asia
00:38:22.89\00:38:25.91
and I prayed Lord
help me to do something.
00:38:25.94\00:38:28.44
I see that there is a lot
of people that are coming here,
00:38:28.47\00:38:30.67
they are not receiving
any help and be careful
00:38:30.70\00:38:33.09
what you pray for it.
00:38:33.12\00:38:34.15
I ended up as a
missionary in Southeast Asia
00:38:34.18\00:38:36.04
working with refugees.
00:38:36.07\00:38:37.10
You're now serious, Africa.
00:38:37.13\00:38:38.48
Yeah, in fact
you spent-- you went
00:38:38.51\00:38:40.52
over there in 1999, right? Yes.
00:38:40.55\00:38:42.71
And my hats off to
some of these people,
00:38:42.74\00:38:44.94
you know, it's one
thing to go on a mission trip
00:38:44.97\00:38:46.43
for like six weeks or two
weeks or something like that.
00:38:46.46\00:38:49.56
But when you go for
one year or two years
00:38:49.59\00:38:52.26
and the case with
you 10 years, right?
00:38:52.29\00:38:54.47
Right. And he was working
00:38:54.50\00:38:55.58
with Susu people
in Guinea, Africa.
00:38:55.61\00:38:58.26
I mean, that must--
tell us something about that,
00:38:58.29\00:38:59.83
that must have
been- that must have been.
00:38:59.86\00:39:02.23
Well, my wife and I
when we got married,
00:39:02.26\00:39:04.94
we went five
years to Southeast Asia,
00:39:04.97\00:39:07.33
we came back and pastored in
this States for about five years
00:39:07.36\00:39:10.50
and then ten years
in Africa and we worked
00:39:10.53\00:39:14.05
in the country of
Guinea, French Guinea
00:39:14.08\00:39:16.25
and they were
probably 5 or 600 members
00:39:16.28\00:39:19.72
in the church and
work with the Susu,
00:39:19.75\00:39:21.92
and among the Susu
speaking people to plant
00:39:21.95\00:39:24.98
the church and a
large school there as well.
00:39:25.01\00:39:26.83
And this is a predominantly
Muslim area, right?
00:39:26.86\00:39:29.94
This is a, here the
predominant religion
00:39:29.97\00:39:31.15
95% Muslim and animists
and Christian make up the rest.
00:39:31.18\00:39:35.40
Do you have some
really big challenges
00:39:35.43\00:39:36.87
during that in the
10 years over there?
00:39:36.90\00:39:38.35
Yeah, there were
lot of big challenges,
00:39:38.38\00:39:39.79
a lot of scary
experiences but most of that had
00:39:39.82\00:39:44.10
to do with political
unrest in the country
00:39:44.13\00:39:46.04
and danger from that respect,
00:39:46.07\00:39:49.55
military uprisings but God
kept us through it all and glad
00:39:49.58\00:39:53.10
to say that He
helped to accomplish
00:39:53.13\00:39:55.88
what He sent us there for.
00:39:55.91\00:39:57.57
I think he is
being very modest about
00:39:57.60\00:39:59.25
some of the things
that he has gone through
00:39:59.28\00:40:01.03
while he was over there.
00:40:01.06\00:40:02.60
You said one time
you were evacuated
00:40:02.63\00:40:04.60
because of-you're
surrounded by countries
00:40:04.63\00:40:06.60
that are all totally
unstable in that area,
00:40:06.63\00:40:08.39
so I mean it was affecting
the country right there.
00:40:08.42\00:40:09.74
Well over 10, 12 years
because the project continues
00:40:09.77\00:40:13.54
under people that we train.
00:40:13.57\00:40:16.23
We've had four
or five evacuations
00:40:16.26\00:40:18.67
for usually for
political reasons
00:40:18.70\00:40:20.19
and just the last evacuation,
00:40:20.22\00:40:22.98
our missionaries got
out just a little bit late
00:40:23.01\00:40:25.21
and we were set
up on by an angry mob
00:40:25.24\00:40:26.96
and almost burnt
to death in their car,
00:40:26.99\00:40:28.65
but praise God they made it out.
00:40:28.68\00:40:29.81
And you said
while you were there,
00:40:29.84\00:40:30.93
you helped raise up a school.
00:40:30.96\00:40:32.25
Now tell us a little
bit about the school?
00:40:32.28\00:40:33.67
Well, the school
was four young people,
00:40:33.70\00:40:36.05
you know as missionaries
when we raise up a work,
00:40:36.08\00:40:38.89
we are just creating
sometimes more needs.
00:40:38.92\00:40:41.42
There are young people
that come into the church
00:40:41.45\00:40:43.64
and Sabbath was a
big problem for them
00:40:43.67\00:40:46.34
as it is in many
places in the world.
00:40:46.37\00:40:48.26
So we started a school
to help the young people,
00:40:48.29\00:40:51.31
many of whom
were coming to church
00:40:51.34\00:40:53.36
and skipping school
on Sabbath even years
00:40:53.39\00:40:55.98
before their baptism.
00:40:56.01\00:40:57.37
And so we started a
school for that reason
00:40:57.40\00:40:59.05
and we started with 12 students,
00:40:59.08\00:41:01.07
it now has I
believe over 300 students.
00:41:01.10\00:41:03.98
Wow, praise God.
00:41:04.01\00:41:05.31
You said something
about, there was one student
00:41:05.34\00:41:07.63
particularly that you had
an experience with Margarita?
00:41:07.66\00:41:09.69
Margarita, yeah, she is typical,
00:41:09.72\00:41:11.57
she was a young
lady that, she is typical
00:41:11.60\00:41:13.54
of many young people
who convert to the church.
00:41:13.57\00:41:15.67
She was coming to the
school, she started when she was
00:41:15.70\00:41:18.77
just in six or seventh grade.
00:41:18.80\00:41:20.05
She ended up graduating but
she because of her faithfulness
00:41:20.08\00:41:24.39
to the Sabbath for three
years before she was baptized,
00:41:24.42\00:41:27.11
actually could not dropped out
of the national school system
00:41:27.14\00:41:32.13
and she
couldn't go on to college
00:41:32.16\00:41:35.23
because she would not
take the national exam
00:41:35.26\00:41:37.22
on Sabbath and we struggled
with what to do for her,
00:41:37.25\00:41:40.41
she almost in her senior
year almost gave up because
00:41:40.44\00:41:43.01
she said there is no hope.
00:41:43.04\00:41:44.45
But, God gave us an
idea to create a test,
00:41:44.48\00:41:46.95
we presented it to the
government a test model
00:41:46.98\00:41:49.92
after the ACT-SAT here only
in the French language based
00:41:49.95\00:41:54.57
on the
curricular of that country.
00:41:54.60\00:41:56.98
And when the
government official saw,
00:41:57.01\00:41:58.61
he said why don't you make
00:41:58.64\00:41:59.67
this available to
the whole country?
00:41:59.70\00:42:01.45
She has now finished university.
00:42:01.48\00:42:04.53
She's-I just had the
privilege of marrying her
00:42:04.56\00:42:07.32
to her high school
guy about a month ago.
00:42:07.35\00:42:09.46
And she is a
teacher in the school
00:42:09.49\00:42:11.35
where she was trained.
00:42:11.38\00:42:12.42
Wow, that's what
it's all about, isn't it?
00:42:12.45\00:42:14.27
It's true. So, if people want
00:42:14.30\00:42:15.52
to get involved with
AFM you have a booth here?
00:42:15.55\00:42:17.50
Yes, booth number 439.
00:42:17.53\00:42:19.64
Please we need missionaries
00:42:19.67\00:42:20.92
and www.afmonline.org
is our website.
00:42:20.95\00:42:25.42
Are you looking for
missionaries right now?
00:42:25.45\00:42:26.90
We need them. We have
more calls in missionaries.
00:42:26.93\00:42:28.76
Yeah. Praise God, Marc.
00:42:28.79\00:42:29.87
Thank you so
much. God bless you.
00:42:29.90\00:42:33.46
Our next couple, I
like to call them victim,
00:42:33.49\00:42:35.64
so next couple of
victims coming up front here.
00:42:35.67\00:42:39.96
This is Kent and
Joel and they are from
00:42:39.99\00:42:43.93
International Children's Care.
00:42:43.96\00:42:45.79
Have you heard
of that before ICC?
00:42:45.82\00:42:47.75
Now, I am going to just
really give a quick blurb
00:42:47.78\00:42:50.21
because ICC has
been an organization
00:42:50.24\00:42:52.61
that I had a real
partiality before for years,
00:42:52.64\00:42:55.51
I have known the
founder of the organization,
00:42:55.54\00:42:58.00
great organization and of
course when people think of ICC,
00:42:58.03\00:43:01.89
they think of orphanages, right?
00:43:01.92\00:43:04.80
But when you-- I
was talking to you,
00:43:04.83\00:43:06.04
I started saying the
word orphanages you said no,
00:43:06.07\00:43:07.90
you used a different term.
00:43:07.93\00:43:09.45
What's going on with that,
how many children's projects
00:43:09.48\00:43:13.06
do you have going on right now?
00:43:13.09\00:43:14.19
Well, when they come to ICC
which we call ourselves ICC,
00:43:14.22\00:43:18.22
International Children's Care.
00:43:18.25\00:43:19.95
We don't think of
them as orphans anymore
00:43:19.98\00:43:23.44
because they have
homes and families with ICC.
00:43:23.47\00:43:26.85
And right now we are in 16
00:43:26.88\00:43:28.94
different
countries around the world.
00:43:28.97\00:43:31.79
Sixteen different countries,
I use the term orphanages,
00:43:31.82\00:43:34.45
I said how many orphanages
00:43:34.48\00:43:35.72
you said you had
children's projects.
00:43:35.75\00:43:37.53
Can you explain a
little bit about that,
00:43:37.56\00:43:38.88
I mean, what's a
difference between
00:43:38.91\00:43:40.08
a children's
project and an orphanage?
00:43:40.11\00:43:42.51
Okay, well children's projects
are all the worldwide projects
00:43:42.54\00:43:47.06
that we have that would
involve orphan children.
00:43:47.09\00:43:49.89
But our model, the ICC model
is all about children's villages
00:43:49.92\00:43:56.04
and so we have some slides here
00:43:56.07\00:43:58.29
that I would like
to share with you.
00:43:58.32\00:44:00.18
While they are playing those,
explain a little bit about that,
00:44:00.21\00:44:01.91
what do you mean exactly?
00:44:01.94\00:44:03.37
Well, a child like
this is perhaps homeless,
00:44:03.40\00:44:06.75
he's lost his parents,
no one to take care of him
00:44:06.78\00:44:10.52
and so Alcyon Fleck in the
next slide, who is our founder.
00:44:10.55\00:44:16.48
A great lady too, I
know her and her son,
00:44:16.51\00:44:19.02
they are really
wonderful people.
00:44:19.05\00:44:20.28
35 years ago she came
up with a model of care
00:44:20.31\00:44:23.10
for children, that involved
taking children off the streets
00:44:23.13\00:44:27.90
or they were given to us
by government organizations
00:44:27.93\00:44:31.24
or institutions and Alcyon
believed that the best place
00:44:31.27\00:44:35.68
for a child was
in a home rather than
00:44:35.71\00:44:38.69
a dormitory style institution.
00:44:38.72\00:44:41.11
And so she created a model which
was a children's home village
00:44:41.14\00:44:46.01
where we have several homes
and 10 to 12 children per home
00:44:46.04\00:44:51.69
and about 10 to 12
children's homes on a campus
00:44:51.72\00:44:56.03
and that becomes the place
where they lived their lives
00:44:56.06\00:45:00.46
and are able to
become productive citizens.
00:45:00.49\00:45:03.11
Praise God. Now you
were telling me that,
00:45:03.14\00:45:07.44
how did-you've been with
ICC for about 15 years you said.
00:45:07.47\00:45:10.81
15 years. How long
have you been with ICC?
00:45:10.84\00:45:12.46
For six years. Six years.
00:45:12.49\00:45:14.29
Now, how did-- how on the world
00:45:14.32\00:45:15.45
did you get involved
with ICC really quickly?
00:45:15.48\00:45:17.22
I was a sponsor first.
00:45:17.25\00:45:18.95
You were donor,
actually donning to ICC.
00:45:18.98\00:45:21.18
I was, yes. Okay,
that's interesting.
00:45:21.21\00:45:23.40
And I contacted ICC
and I offered them to serve
00:45:23.43\00:45:27.24
as a volunteer if
they needed anything,
00:45:27.27\00:45:29.35
I thought I'm gonna do.
00:45:29.38\00:45:30.86
You're like, where you thinking
of two weeks or something?
00:45:30.89\00:45:32.82
Yes, they called me
and they had a proposition
00:45:32.85\00:45:35.85
for an administrator in
the project of El Salvador,
00:45:35.88\00:45:39.73
I offered them one
year, I stayed for four.
00:45:39.76\00:45:42.04
Espanol? Si.
00:45:42.07\00:45:43.86
Oh, good, yeah and so you
were--you were also saying that,
00:45:43.89\00:45:51.53
when we are talking about
orphanage you said well really
00:45:51.56\00:45:53.42
this is about evangelism,
can you explain that real fast?
00:45:53.45\00:45:56.09
You know, this is
evangelism at its roots,
00:45:56.12\00:45:58.72
a story though nothing to do.
00:45:58.75\00:46:02.78
You know what
people think orphanages,
00:46:02.81\00:46:04.30
they don't think evangelism,
00:46:04.33\00:46:05.59
they think
taking care of children,
00:46:05.62\00:46:06.96
you know, street children--
00:46:06.99\00:46:08.84
We talk about the
power of the blood.
00:46:08.87\00:46:10.30
I tell you story about
that, that power of the blood.
00:46:10.33\00:46:12.53
There was a Hugo, Hugo
came to our children's village
00:46:12.56\00:46:17.14
with that purpose in
mind and that was to grow up
00:46:17.17\00:46:20.35
very fast so he
could go kill the man
00:46:20.38\00:46:23.71
who have killed his father.
00:46:23.74\00:46:25.41
And he had the
hate in his heart.
00:46:25.44\00:46:28.64
He grew up with that hate
but people loved him there.
00:46:28.67\00:46:31.87
One day we had a week of
prayer at the children's village
00:46:31.90\00:46:36.64
in the Dominican Republic.
00:46:36.67\00:46:37.93
Excuse me for a second.
00:46:37.96\00:46:39.46
Now, this boy, his father
was murdered or something?
00:46:39.49\00:46:42.01
He was murdered. What
happened to his mother?
00:46:42.04\00:46:43.78
His mother had to be
put in a mental institution
00:46:43.81\00:46:50.60
because she couldn't--
00:46:50.63\00:46:52.08
So this boy was on his own.
00:46:52.11\00:46:53.25
She lost it all after
the murder of her husband.
00:46:53.28\00:46:58.57
And so Hugo and the
servant were just bouncing
00:46:58.60\00:47:00.77
around from institutions.
00:47:00.80\00:47:01.98
And this kid, this
kid is eight years old.
00:47:02.01\00:47:03.67
He was about four
when his father died,
00:47:03.70\00:47:05.84
he was about eight
when he came to us,
00:47:05.87\00:47:07.61
and he had this
hate thing in his heart.
00:47:07.64\00:47:10.08
He was going to kill the
man who killed his father
00:47:10.11\00:47:12.24
and he grew up that way.
00:47:12.27\00:47:15.06
We have the week of prayer
00:47:15.09\00:47:16.73
and he will gives
his heart to the Lord.
00:47:16.76\00:47:19.82
Then he goes on, he grows up,
00:47:19.85\00:47:20.97
he goes on to attend college
at the Adventist University
00:47:21.00\00:47:24.23
in the Dominican
Republic finds a young lady
00:47:24.26\00:47:26.14
from New York city
marries her lives in New York.
00:47:26.17\00:47:28.72
He is in New York has
three children and that thought,
00:47:28.75\00:47:32.84
of that man who had killed
his father was still there.
00:47:32.87\00:47:36.17
And one day he
purchased a ticket
00:47:36.20\00:47:38.80
and he flies to
Dominican Republic,
00:47:38.83\00:47:41.35
to find the man and through a
coincidences he finds the man.
00:47:41.38\00:47:46.63
And is he going to kill him?
00:47:46.66\00:47:48.38
He knocks at the
door, the man comes out,
00:47:48.41\00:47:51.88
Hugo is 300 pound big
guy, he introduces himself
00:47:51.91\00:47:57.72
to the man who says I'm
Hugo you don't remember me?
00:47:57.75\00:48:01.27
You killed my
father when I was four.
00:48:01.30\00:48:03.70
He tells him the
story how he suffered
00:48:03.73\00:48:06.05
and was bouncing
around from place to place
00:48:06.08\00:48:07.92
and he said I had a plan
of how I was going to kill you
00:48:07.95\00:48:13.90
and the man shakes.
00:48:13.93\00:48:15.55
He said don't worry, I
did not come to kill you.
00:48:15.58\00:48:19.87
In that place Jesus
came to me and with his blood
00:48:19.90\00:48:25.66
he cleansed me and
took away all the hate
00:48:25.69\00:48:29.08
I had in my heart and
today I'm coming to tell you
00:48:29.11\00:48:32.29
that I'm forgiving you.
00:48:32.32\00:48:34.59
But not only
that, I want to tell you
00:48:34.62\00:48:38.62
that you need to go to
this Jesus who cleanse me
00:48:38.65\00:48:43.49
so that He may forgive you
too and give you eternal life.
00:48:43.52\00:48:47.26
Wow, wow. We praise the Lord
00:48:47.29\00:48:49.43
for kids like Hugo and for
the opportunity that you have.
00:48:49.46\00:48:53.04
Where is Hugo today?
00:48:53.07\00:48:54.21
He is in New York City.
00:48:54.24\00:48:55.43
He works for
the school district,
00:48:55.46\00:48:58.94
one of the school
district there in New York
00:48:58.97\00:49:01.07
and he lives
there with his wife.
00:49:01.10\00:49:02.29
He is Pathfinder director at
the Prospect Church in Bronx.
00:49:02.32\00:49:07.83
So, that's evangelism.
00:49:07.86\00:49:09.21
That's evangelism.
00:49:09.24\00:49:10.59
Really quickly, how
can people get involved
00:49:10.62\00:49:12.54
with ICC as our time is up.
00:49:12.57\00:49:14.01
Well, Do you have a booth here?
00:49:14.04\00:49:15.84

00:49:36.46\00:49:38.63
There is a fountain
00:49:57.92\00:50:00.98
filled with blood
00:50:04.35\00:50:07.43
Drawn from
00:50:07.46\00:50:10.94
Emmanuel's veins
00:50:10.97\00:50:17.00
And sinners plunged
00:50:17.03\00:50:21.58
beneath that flood
00:50:21.61\00:50:25.74
Lose all their
00:50:25.77\00:50:28.80
guilty stains
00:50:28.83\00:50:33.41
Lose all their guilty stains
00:50:33.44\00:50:38.24
Lose all their guilty stains
00:50:41.33\00:50:45.94
And sinners plunged
00:50:49.40\00:50:53.43
beneath that flood
00:50:53.46\00:50:57.54
Lose all their guilty stains
00:50:57.57\00:51:01.71
The dying thief
00:51:08.89\00:51:12.80
rejoiced to see
00:51:12.83\00:51:17.22
That fountain in his day
00:51:17.25\00:51:21.07
And there may I,
00:51:24.71\00:51:28.54
though vile as he
00:51:28.57\00:51:32.55
Wash all my sins away
00:51:32.58\00:51:36.62
Wash all my sins away
00:51:40.14\00:51:44.19
Wash all my sins away
00:51:47.44\00:51:52.21
And there may I,
00:51:55.07\00:51:59.37
though vile as he
00:51:59.40\00:52:03.16
Wash all my sins away
00:52:03.19\00:52:06.88
Then in a nobler,
00:52:22.98\00:52:27.54
sweeter song
00:52:27.57\00:52:31.08
I'll tell thy power to save
00:52:31.11\00:52:34.61
When this poor lisping,
00:52:38.40\00:52:42.96
stammering tongue
00:52:43.81\00:52:46.33
He's resting from the grave
00:52:46.36\00:52:49.68
He's resting from the grave
00:52:53.60\00:52:55.13
