Here is love, wide as an ocean
00:00:36.21\00:00:40.77
Loving kindness as the flood
00:00:40.80\00:00:45.46
When the Prince
of Life, our Ransom
00:00:45.49\00:00:50.19
Shed for us His precious blood
00:00:50.22\00:00:55.18
Who His love will not remember?
00:00:55.21\00:01:00.03
Who can cease
to sing His praise?
00:01:00.06\00:01:05.24
He can never be forgotten
00:01:05.27\00:01:10.03
Throughout Heaven's eternal days
00:01:10.06\00:01:15.79
On the mount of crucifixion
00:01:25.52\00:01:30.50
Fountains opened deep and wide
00:01:30.53\00:01:35.56
Through the
floodgates of God's mercy
00:01:35.59\00:01:40.55
Flowed a vast and gracious tide
00:01:40.58\00:01:45.58
Grace and love,
like mighty rivers
00:01:45.61\00:01:50.80
Poured incessant from above
00:01:50.83\00:01:56.07
And Heaven's peace
and perfect justice
00:01:56.10\00:02:01.01
Kissed a guilty world in love
00:02:01.04\00:02:06.36
Oh, how marvelous
00:02:06.39\00:02:11.25
Oh, how glorious
00:02:11.28\00:02:15.88
Is my Savior's love for me
00:02:15.91\00:02:22.32
Oh, how marvelous
00:02:25.98\00:02:30.81
Oh, how glorious
00:02:30.84\00:02:35.66
Is my Savior's love for me
00:02:35.69\00:02:42.40
Of Your fullness You are pouring
00:02:50.31\00:02:55.28
Your great love on me anew
00:02:55.31\00:03:00.20
Without measure,
full and boundless
00:03:00.23\00:03:05.16
Drawing out my heart to You
00:03:05.19\00:03:10.26
You alone will be my glory
00:03:10.29\00:03:15.23
Nothing in the world I see
00:03:15.26\00:03:20.35
You have
cleansed and sanctified me
00:03:20.38\00:03:25.30
You Yourself have set me free
00:03:25.33\00:03:30.96
Oh, how marvelous
00:03:32.90\00:03:37.60
Oh, how glorious
00:03:37.63\00:03:42.34
Is my Savior's love for me
00:03:42.37\00:03:48.99
Oh, how marvelous
00:03:51.95\00:03:56.56
Oh, how glorious
00:03:56.59\00:04:01.32
Is my Savior's love for me
00:04:01.35\00:04:07.38
For me
00:04:14.71\00:04:19.28
Your love for me
00:04:23.33\00:04:29.75
Well, Bill, it's always nice
00:04:48.85\00:04:51.40
to see your
shining face here at ASIs.
00:04:51.43\00:04:54.71
But you know I'm
sure you're busy guy.
00:04:54.74\00:04:57.05
You've got a lot of
this kind of conventions
00:04:57.08\00:04:58.69
that you'd like to go to,
00:04:58.72\00:05:00.13
but why do you make
ASI such a priority?
00:05:00.16\00:05:03.62
It's easy.
00:05:03.65\00:05:05.22
I want to be around people
who have mission and focus.
00:05:05.25\00:05:08.63
And each year as
the Adventist Review
00:05:08.66\00:05:10.38
prepares for this event,
00:05:10.41\00:05:12.49
our pulse beats
a little quicker.
00:05:12.52\00:05:14.88
Because we get the
chance to talk with people,
00:05:14.91\00:05:17.69
who really are active in
the mission of the church.
00:05:17.72\00:05:20.18
When I came to my
first ASI Convention
00:05:20.21\00:05:22.75
more than 13 years ago,
00:05:22.78\00:05:24.71
I went home and
wrote an editorial,
00:05:24.74\00:05:26.95
the title of which
was addressed to me.
00:05:26.98\00:05:29.75
Your church is too small.
00:05:29.78\00:05:32.06
I learned that at ASI, I
had thought of the church
00:05:32.09\00:05:34.54
as what the institutional
church did and prepared.
00:05:34.57\00:05:37.83
I hadn't known
what God was doing
00:05:37.86\00:05:40.15
and I made a commitment there
00:05:40.18\00:05:41.93
and I make it again
every year to come back
00:05:41.96\00:05:43.64
and cover all that God is
doing in the Adventist Review.
00:05:43.67\00:05:47.66
So, tell me, Bill,
being the executive publisher
00:05:47.69\00:05:51.29
of a magazine like
the Adventist Review.
00:05:51.32\00:05:53.97
I'm sure you
have the inside scoop
00:05:54.00\00:05:56.73
on the amazing things
that our church is doing.
00:05:56.76\00:05:59.78
So come on, give us
00:05:59.81\00:06:01.14
a little bit of juice right now,
00:06:01.17\00:06:02.28
what are some exciting things
00:06:02.31\00:06:03.40
that the Adventist
church is doing right now?
00:06:03.43\00:06:05.38
Well, if you turn to page 6,
00:06:05.41\00:06:07.66
now you'll see there
that I talk a little bit about
00:06:07.69\00:06:10.28
what's new in the church.
00:06:10.31\00:06:11.61
I get that question a lot
and Scotty is playing of that.
00:06:11.64\00:06:15.14
In fact, what's
new in the church
00:06:15.17\00:06:17.64
and that's exciting to me,
00:06:17.67\00:06:19.43
isn't the latest news
about a committee decision
00:06:19.46\00:06:22.25
or a direction that
an initiative is taking.
00:06:22.28\00:06:25.65
What's new in the church
00:06:25.68\00:06:27.08
is that people are praying more,
00:06:27.11\00:06:29.14
they are following
the Holy Spirit more.
00:06:29.17\00:06:30.74
They are getting
involved in service more.
00:06:30.77\00:06:32.78
One of the privileges of working
00:06:32.81\00:06:34.14
at the Adventist Review is that
00:06:34.17\00:06:35.36
I get to see the
church on a very broad scale.
00:06:35.39\00:06:38.11
And I can tell you
there is a wind moving
00:06:38.14\00:06:40.97
in the top of the
mulberry trees, folks.
00:06:41.00\00:06:43.70
The spirit has begun
working in this church
00:06:43.73\00:06:45.92
in so many places, in prayer,
00:06:45.95\00:06:47.95
in service, in obedience.
00:06:47.98\00:06:50.03
It's a happy glad
day to be an Adventist,
00:06:50.06\00:06:52.64
and to be working at a magazine
that gets to report that.
00:06:52.67\00:06:55.09
Amen, when I
walked in here today,
00:06:55.12\00:06:57.00
there was actually a whole group
00:06:57.03\00:06:58.36
that was praying in
the back over there.
00:06:58.39\00:07:00.38
And I just walked by and said,
00:07:00.41\00:07:01.59
praise God to see
our church memories,
00:07:01.62\00:07:03.88
just praying over this room.
00:07:03.91\00:07:05.35
It's beautiful. Amen.
00:07:05.38\00:07:06.73
So tell me, I'm really excited
about this next phase that
00:07:06.76\00:07:10.33
the Adventist
Review is moving into.
00:07:10.36\00:07:11.87
Tell me what is this
digital footprint that
00:07:11.90\00:07:14.55
you guys are
getting involved in?
00:07:14.58\00:07:16.53
Many people aren't aware
that our digital audience
00:07:16.56\00:07:19.16
on the Adventist Review website,
00:07:19.19\00:07:20.72
adventistreview.org
is already four times
00:07:20.75\00:07:23.51
the size of the
print subscription list.
00:07:23.54\00:07:27.99
More than a hundred
thousand unique visitors a month
00:07:28.02\00:07:30.93
come to the
adventistreview.org site.
00:07:30.96\00:07:33.46
Not only to get the
content of the magazine
00:07:33.49\00:07:35.87
but all kinds
of other exclusives
00:07:35.90\00:07:37.61
and specials
breaking news of the church.
00:07:37.64\00:07:40.07
That audience is growing,
00:07:40.10\00:07:41.45
we're re-designing
that site to keep up
00:07:41.48\00:07:43.91
with what our
audience is asking for.
00:07:43.94\00:07:45.70
They want inspirational content,
00:07:45.73\00:07:47.98
the best news in
Adventism, they want hope
00:07:48.01\00:07:50.89
and we intend to
deliver that too them.
00:07:50.92\00:07:52.89
And in fact,
this week every year
00:07:52.92\00:07:54.90
for one week at ASI
00:07:54.93\00:07:56.73
we unlock the entire
adventistreview.org website.
00:07:56.76\00:08:00.02
You can go there
and see anything,
00:08:00.05\00:08:02.00
pay nothing, tell
your friends about it.
00:08:02.03\00:08:03.80
Nothing, wait a minute
there's rarely anything
00:08:03.83\00:08:07.28
for free in this world, nothing?
00:08:07.31\00:08:09.17
Nothing, this week
along during a year for ASI
00:08:09.20\00:08:12.82
we open the
website out to everyone
00:08:12.85\00:08:14.99
invite your
friends to go and navigate
00:08:15.02\00:08:16.83
and see what's there.
00:08:16.86\00:08:18.62
But no pulling your phones out
00:08:18.65\00:08:19.88
when the speaker
is up here tonight
00:08:19.91\00:08:21.01
and checking that
out, wait till he is done.
00:08:21.04\00:08:23.99
So tell me, you know,
ASI and the Adventist Review
00:08:24.02\00:08:27.94
always get this
opportunity to work together,
00:08:27.97\00:08:31.23
tell me about this partnership
00:08:31.26\00:08:32.59
and what is it
doing for you guys?
00:08:32.62\00:08:36.24
Almost 10 years ago
00:08:36.27\00:08:37.58
I began a
conversation with ASI leadership
00:08:37.61\00:08:40.09
and I said, we're
talking about the same things.
00:08:40.12\00:08:43.45
We're dedicated to
the same principles.
00:08:43.48\00:08:45.12
Yes, we share the
same biblical beliefs,
00:08:45.15\00:08:47.56
but we approach mission
in many of the same ways.
00:08:47.59\00:08:50.35
We ought to be
able to find a way
00:08:50.38\00:08:51.75
to work together
to share our services.
00:08:51.78\00:08:54.35
We like what we
call non cash deals,
00:08:54.38\00:08:56.70
meaning that we trade services
00:08:56.73\00:08:58.15
with each other
to create awareness
00:08:58.18\00:09:00.17
and exposure of mission activity
00:09:00.20\00:09:02.74
of truth, of inspiration.
00:09:02.77\00:09:05.16
We found this relationship
00:09:05.19\00:09:06.44
to be one of our
most secure partnerships
00:09:06.47\00:09:08.48
and we're delighted to
continue partnering with ASI,
00:09:08.51\00:09:12.30
not only this year
but well into the future.
00:09:12.33\00:09:15.57
Beautiful, so tell
me a little bit about
00:09:15.60\00:09:17.98
the philosophy that
00:09:18.01\00:09:20.47
Adventist
Review is getting into?
00:09:20.50\00:09:23.03
It's pretty simple.
00:09:23.06\00:09:24.70
We're preparing
people for the kingdom.
00:09:24.73\00:09:27.71
We're preparing people
to meet their Lord in peace.
00:09:27.74\00:09:31.07
If this magazine
does what it's been doing
00:09:31.10\00:09:33.34
for 164 years now,
00:09:33.37\00:09:35.73
it's preparing this
generation to meet Jesus soon.
00:09:35.76\00:09:39.57
There's a line
00:09:39.60\00:09:40.63
from John
Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress
00:09:40.66\00:09:42.56
that I have always loved.
00:09:42.59\00:09:43.62
He puts it in the
mouth of a character
00:09:43.65\00:09:45.79
he calls evangelist.
00:09:45.82\00:09:48.14
And he says this
00:09:48.17\00:09:49.58
"Let the kingdom
be always before you,
00:09:49.61\00:09:54.41
and firmly believe in
things thought impossible."
00:09:54.44\00:09:58.45
That's a personal motto,
00:09:58.48\00:10:00.00
"let the kingdom
be always before you."
00:10:00.03\00:10:02.14
That's what we are
doing at the Adventist Review,
00:10:02.17\00:10:04.80
keeping the kingdom in
focus for this generation
00:10:04.83\00:10:07.51
of Adventists and their friends.
00:10:07.54\00:10:09.17
We want to be ready
to meet the Lord soon.
00:10:09.20\00:10:11.30
Bill, praise God
for your ministry.
00:10:11.33\00:10:12.75
Thank you so much
00:10:12.78\00:10:13.86
for this
opportunity to work together
00:10:13.89\00:10:15.70
and let's all get everyone ready
00:10:15.73\00:10:18.60
to meet our Lord and Savior.
00:10:18.63\00:10:20.30
Amen.
00:10:20.33\00:10:21.79
Good evening ASI,
00:10:26.70\00:10:29.72
once again this is your
coffering in action segment
00:10:29.75\00:10:34.22
and I'm really happy to
bring this segment to you.
00:10:34.25\00:10:36.48
Some really exciting
things are happening,
00:10:36.51\00:10:38.80
and I think you'll be
really blessed this evening.
00:10:38.83\00:10:41.84
I'd actually like to
start by sharing a little bit
00:10:41.87\00:10:45.05
of an update on
one of our projects
00:10:45.08\00:10:46.92
the one day church project.
00:10:46.95\00:10:49.52
And you may remember
00:10:49.55\00:10:50.62
if you were here
or watching last year
00:10:50.65\00:10:54.07
that we highlighted
a couple of projects
00:10:54.10\00:10:55.90
that were happening,
00:10:55.93\00:10:57.20
the building of one day schools.
00:10:57.23\00:10:59.72
We had a class room model here
00:10:59.75\00:11:02.21
as well as one day clinics
with a model hospital room.
00:11:02.24\00:11:06.97
So I'd actually like to show you
00:11:07.00\00:11:08.31
just a couple of pictures
00:11:08.34\00:11:10.28
that give you some
indication of the progress
00:11:10.31\00:11:12.53
that has been made thus far.
00:11:12.56\00:11:14.49
So this first is one
of the schools in Africa.
00:11:14.52\00:11:17.43
You'll notice there
00:11:17.46\00:11:18.90
and in all of the
one day classrooms,
00:11:18.93\00:11:21.54
art by Nathan
Greene on the wall.
00:11:21.57\00:11:24.17
And at the
front of the classroom
00:11:24.20\00:11:25.98
a banner that
says Jesus loves you.
00:11:26.01\00:11:28.77
These children need to know that
00:11:28.80\00:11:30.54
they have a
savior that loves them
00:11:30.57\00:11:32.86
and wants to save them.
00:11:32.89\00:11:34.62
In the next picture,
00:11:34.65\00:11:35.88
we get an idea of the
response of these children,
00:11:35.91\00:11:38.97
learning to pray and
respond to the teachings
00:11:39.00\00:11:42.64
that are being giving to
them of the loving savior.
00:11:42.67\00:11:46.62
The next picture actually shows
00:11:46.65\00:11:48.83
some deplorable
conditions in a hospital.
00:11:48.86\00:11:52.53
This particular one in
Chad in the Berry Hospital.
00:11:52.56\00:11:56.59
And we are grateful
for the one day structures
00:11:56.62\00:11:59.34
that are providing new
and improved facilities
00:11:59.37\00:12:03.40
to be able to care for
individuals in the region.
00:12:03.43\00:12:06.22
So in the next one
we'll see that we have beds
00:12:06.25\00:12:09.42
and structures that
are actually going up,
00:12:09.45\00:12:13.09
to be able to receive
individuals who need care.
00:12:13.12\00:12:16.80
This is actually on the compound
00:12:16.83\00:12:18.77
of the Berry Hospital in Chad
00:12:18.80\00:12:20.79
and I believe that's
the next one you'll see,
00:12:20.82\00:12:23.05
all of the structures
that have already been erected.
00:12:23.08\00:12:26.30
There are many more things
that are going to be happening
00:12:26.33\00:12:29.19
and we are
excited and blessed by God
00:12:29.22\00:12:32.40
that he has impressed you
00:12:32.43\00:12:34.51
to be able to
support this great project.
00:12:34.54\00:12:37.46
You know, there
is even more that
00:12:37.49\00:12:38.62
we need to understand
about the one day project.
00:12:38.65\00:12:41.22
And I'm actually
gonna ask my good friend
00:12:41.25\00:12:43.25
Alan Knowles to
come out and join me.
00:12:43.28\00:12:45.77
Alan Knowles is the department--
00:12:45.80\00:12:47.87
excuse me the
development director
00:12:47.90\00:12:49.62
at Riverside
Farms in Zambia, Africa,
00:12:49.65\00:12:53.90
and he has done quite a
bit with one day churches.
00:12:53.93\00:12:57.71
Alan, how many churches?
00:12:57.74\00:12:59.67
One day churches have
you supervised going up?
00:12:59.70\00:13:04.08
Well, I've built or
supervised or had my hand
00:13:04.11\00:13:06.62
in around 500
churches or schools.
00:13:06.65\00:13:09.23
500 and that's really
just a drop in the bucket
00:13:09.26\00:13:13.08
of the number of
one day structures
00:13:13.11\00:13:14.97
that have been built to date.
00:13:15.00\00:13:17.00
You know, I'm curious, Alan,
00:13:17.03\00:13:18.41
could you share
with me a little bit
00:13:18.44\00:13:20.64
of what the response
might be from individuals,
00:13:20.67\00:13:23.55
who are blessed to
have a church home now?
00:13:23.58\00:13:27.55
Well, you know, I
have the opportunity
00:13:27.58\00:13:29.48
to be right on hand
00:13:29.51\00:13:31.19
for many of these
churches that are built.
00:13:31.22\00:13:34.32
My hands helping to build
and working with the people
00:13:34.35\00:13:37.68
and as they put their hand
00:13:37.71\00:13:39.27
and their sweat
into the building,
00:13:39.30\00:13:42.06
that's just the first
part of their response--
00:13:42.09\00:13:44.65
response to help us.
00:13:44.68\00:13:47.26
But as we drive away,
00:13:47.29\00:13:49.98
it's the
thankfulness in their hearts,
00:13:50.01\00:13:53.23
I don't know if you've ever seen
00:13:53.26\00:13:54.74
a happy African
lady jumping for joy,
00:13:54.77\00:13:59.63
waving her hands,
padding your hands together,
00:13:59.66\00:14:04.18
coming over to you
with her arms around you.
00:14:04.21\00:14:07.76
The response touches your heart.
00:14:07.79\00:14:10.36
Now, you share with me
00:14:10.39\00:14:11.63
as an indication of
how quickly this happens
00:14:11.66\00:14:14.12
and how shocking it is
for the community around them,
00:14:14.15\00:14:17.03
a gentleman on his bicycle.
00:14:17.06\00:14:19.06
Tell me about that story?
00:14:19.09\00:14:20.70
Well, one morning we
had pulled up to a site
00:14:20.73\00:14:24.48
where we're going to build.
00:14:24.51\00:14:25.67
There is the old church
00:14:25.70\00:14:27.78
there next to us
kind of half dilapidated.
00:14:27.81\00:14:31.00
And a man was driving by
with his bicycle near the road
00:14:31.03\00:14:36.02
and he shouted
greetings to his friends,
00:14:36.05\00:14:38.15
the church members
who are helping us.
00:14:38.18\00:14:40.67
Good morning, good
morning as he drove
00:14:40.70\00:14:43.12
on his way to the market
or wherever he was going.
00:14:43.15\00:14:46.11
But we spend our
time building the church
00:14:46.14\00:14:48.35
and had our lunch
00:14:48.38\00:14:49.59
and we are having our
little dedicatory prayer after
00:14:49.62\00:14:53.51
and we heard someone
coming down the road.
00:14:53.54\00:14:55.75
We looked, there's the man
coming back from the market,
00:14:55.78\00:14:58.51
and as he is driving his bicycle
00:14:58.54\00:14:59.97
he's going to
greet his friends again.
00:15:00.00\00:15:02.83
And he is looking
00:15:02.86\00:15:03.93
and he sees a whole building up.
00:15:03.96\00:15:06.94
And he went right off the road
and fell over on his bicycle,
00:15:06.97\00:15:11.69
a surprise, a
miracle happened that day.
00:15:11.72\00:15:14.60
A miracle is true
00:15:14.63\00:15:15.83
and we just want to
pull up for our last picture,
00:15:15.86\00:15:18.82
this congregation
of the one day church.
00:15:18.85\00:15:21.62
And, Alan, I want you to
share with me the response
00:15:21.65\00:15:24.44
and how glad they were
00:15:24.47\00:15:25.50
for this particular
miracle in their lives.
00:15:25.53\00:15:28.26
This church was
in western province
00:15:28.29\00:15:30.38
in the real rural area.
00:15:30.41\00:15:32.73
And they had
built their walls up
00:15:32.76\00:15:35.16
and had a thatched roof
on their original church,
00:15:35.19\00:15:38.77
had been asking us
to come and help them
00:15:38.80\00:15:40.68
with the roof for several years
00:15:40.71\00:15:42.73
before we were able to
get it, a chance to book them.
00:15:42.76\00:15:45.39
Well, in the mean time the
one day church program came
00:15:45.42\00:15:48.14
and they didn't
really qualify for that.
00:15:48.17\00:15:50.73
Well, they went to camp meeting,
00:15:50.76\00:15:52.64
one-- during the summer
00:15:52.67\00:15:54.90
and during their
time at camp meetings,
00:15:54.93\00:15:56.67
someone came and lit
their grass roof on fire,
00:15:56.70\00:16:01.10
and burnt their church down
00:16:01.13\00:16:02.81
and most of the walls fell down
00:16:02.84\00:16:04.77
as the timbers
collapsed and so forth.
00:16:04.80\00:16:07.36
And they came
back from camp meeting
00:16:07.39\00:16:09.61
supposedly with
joy in their hearts
00:16:09.64\00:16:11.31
but to find their
church been burned down.
00:16:11.34\00:16:13.96
Fortunately our
booking is to come
00:16:13.99\00:16:16.03
and visit them within
a next couple of months.
00:16:16.06\00:16:18.10
And we came there and
we were able to build them
00:16:18.13\00:16:20.78
next to the burned
down charred church,
00:16:20.81\00:16:23.39
a new structure for
them to be worshipping under.
00:16:23.42\00:16:26.42
And I can only tell
you a little bit of the joy
00:16:26.45\00:16:29.36
that those people, you can see--
00:16:29.39\00:16:30.81
saw that they're
waving their hands.
00:16:30.84\00:16:33.64
They were saying thank you ASI
00:16:33.67\00:16:36.11
for the help
that you gave us today
00:16:36.14\00:16:37.55
and the miracle
that you made happen.
00:16:37.58\00:16:39.56
Alan, we want to thank you
00:16:39.59\00:16:41.09
for your sweat equity
that you are putting in
00:16:41.12\00:16:43.56
to supervise all of
these churches going up
00:16:43.59\00:16:45.82
for people who
really need a home,
00:16:45.85\00:16:48.33
so that they can worship in.
00:16:48.36\00:16:49.43
Thank you very much, Alan.
00:16:49.46\00:16:51.13
Coming to the podium with me now
00:16:56.11\00:16:58.09
is someone as we interrupt
00:16:58.12\00:17:00.13
our offering in
action for a special report.
00:17:00.16\00:17:03.18
Elder Ted
Wilson, thank you so much
00:17:03.21\00:17:04.97
for joining us this evening
00:17:05.00\00:17:06.15
as we are
delighted to have you here.
00:17:06.18\00:17:08.85
Thank you, Debbie. It's
great to be here with you.
00:17:08.88\00:17:12.00
Well, we understand
00:17:12.03\00:17:13.58
there's some really
exciting things have happened.
00:17:13.61\00:17:15.96
That's kind of my
coin word exciting,
00:17:15.99\00:17:18.60
and we'd like you to be able
00:17:18.63\00:17:20.10
to share a
little bit with us about
00:17:20.13\00:17:22.27
what has happened
to New York recently?
00:17:22.30\00:17:24.43
If you can give us some context,
00:17:24.46\00:17:25.82
tell us when it
occurred how it happened
00:17:25.85\00:17:29.23
and what your role was
in the New York 13 series?
00:17:29.26\00:17:33.33
Well, this is one
of my favorite topic,
00:17:33.36\00:17:35.29
so we'll try to make it brief.
00:17:35.32\00:17:39.03
Somewhat-- well, some time ago,
00:17:39.06\00:17:41.49
let's say a number
of years ago actually,
00:17:41.52\00:17:45.24
we had a great
vision to try to see
00:17:45.27\00:17:48.00
how God's power
can truly be seen
00:17:48.03\00:17:52.65
in reaching the
people of the cities.
00:17:52.68\00:17:55.31
And so as we began to talk
and to plan for the future,
00:17:55.34\00:18:00.29
we felt that New York City,
00:18:00.32\00:18:02.23
because Ellen
White has indicated
00:18:02.26\00:18:04.59
in the book Evangelism
that New York is to be a symbol
00:18:04.62\00:18:08.15
as to how God wants to
work the rest of the world that,
00:18:08.18\00:18:11.11
that ought to be
fulfilled in some special way.
00:18:11.14\00:18:14.09
So as we were working
together with our colleagues
00:18:14.12\00:18:16.92
and with my good
friend Mark Finley,
00:18:16.95\00:18:19.34
who is such a
tremendous help to the church
00:18:19.37\00:18:22.59
as an assistant to me
00:18:22.62\00:18:25.36
and to the church in
evangelism and many other ways.
00:18:25.39\00:18:28.42
We began to
formulate a plan that perhaps
00:18:28.45\00:18:30.93
we could do
something in New York
00:18:30.96\00:18:33.06
that would set the
pace for the entire world
00:18:33.09\00:18:36.18
for our emphasis on
mission to the cities.
00:18:36.21\00:18:39.70
You know that in the
book Medical Ministry,
00:18:39.73\00:18:42.57
page 304, it says that
00:18:42.60\00:18:45.20
when the cities are
worked as God would have them,
00:18:45.23\00:18:48.66
the result will be
the setting in operation
00:18:48.69\00:18:50.83
of a mighty movement
00:18:50.86\00:18:52.15
such as we have
not yet witnessed.
00:18:52.18\00:18:54.91
So we want to work the cities
00:18:54.94\00:18:56.67
as God would have us do that.
00:18:56.70\00:18:58.71
And as we worked with
the North American division,
00:18:58.74\00:19:01.99
we had strong support
from Elder Dan Jackson
00:19:02.02\00:19:05.06
from the Atlantic
Union, the Columbia Union.
00:19:05.09\00:19:08.67
There are five
conferences involved
00:19:08.70\00:19:10.98
in the New York City area.
00:19:11.01\00:19:13.09
Allegheny East, New Jersey,
Greater New York, Northeastern
00:19:13.12\00:19:16.42
and Southern New
England Conference.
00:19:16.45\00:19:18.04
As we began to formulate plans
00:19:18.07\00:19:20.45
and as Pastor Don
King took leadership
00:19:20.48\00:19:24.15
in the NY 13
coordinating committee,
00:19:24.18\00:19:28.18
things began to come together.
00:19:28.21\00:19:30.56
I can go on for
hours talking to you
00:19:30.59\00:19:33.34
but I'll make it very brief.
00:19:33.37\00:19:36.08
This year NY 13
emphasizing New York,
00:19:36.11\00:19:40.82
there are going to be over
00:19:40.85\00:19:42.28
400 public evangelistic meetings
00:19:42.31\00:19:45.52
in the metro New York area.
00:19:45.55\00:19:46.92
Amen.
00:19:46.95\00:19:48.23
During the month of June,
00:19:48.26\00:19:50.41
there were about 100
across the metro area
00:19:50.44\00:19:54.12
and I have the great privilege
of preaching in one of those.
00:19:54.15\00:19:58.32
You see, you
can't reach New York
00:19:58.35\00:20:00.11
or any large city
with one particular venue.
00:20:00.14\00:20:03.30
You've got to reach
00:20:03.33\00:20:04.36
all the different
sections of the city.
00:20:04.39\00:20:06.83
And so it was a great privilege
00:20:06.86\00:20:07.97
to be in lower
Manhattan in Greenwich Village,
00:20:08.00\00:20:10.56
one of the most sophisticated,
00:20:10.59\00:20:13.55
secular, moneyed
places in this country
00:20:13.58\00:20:18.63
in the historic
Manhattan church,
00:20:18.66\00:20:21.37
Seventh-day Adventist
church on West 11 Street.
00:20:21.40\00:20:24.07
It was such an exciting event.
00:20:24.10\00:20:27.47
Now, I understand
even as a seasoned preacher
00:20:27.50\00:20:30.93
that you used a
familiar tool to us
00:20:30.96\00:20:33.78
to impart those messages?
00:20:33.81\00:20:36.30
I did and it's
available to all of you.
00:20:36.33\00:20:39.29
And in fact New Beginnings
00:20:39.32\00:20:40.97
as one of the byproducts of that
00:20:41.00\00:20:44.05
Revelation of Hope,
00:20:44.08\00:20:45.68
which is an incredible
series of about 28 subjects.
00:20:45.71\00:20:50.17
And written and produced
00:20:50.20\00:20:52.32
by our wonderful
colleague Mark Finely,
00:20:52.35\00:20:55.93
and it has the sermons
that are right on the computer
00:20:55.96\00:21:00.56
if you want to use
them, a beautiful graphics,
00:21:00.59\00:21:04.18
you can read the script,
00:21:04.21\00:21:06.06
you can adapt it
according to your own need.
00:21:06.09\00:21:09.29
And it is such
a powerful series,
00:21:09.32\00:21:13.18
every time I preach
these precious messages,
00:21:13.21\00:21:16.85
I become so reinvigorated
00:21:16.88\00:21:19.84
with the precious
Advent message that we have.
00:21:19.87\00:21:22.56
And it was just a thrill
to preach five nights a week,
00:21:22.59\00:21:25.92
for three weeks
in New York City.
00:21:25.95\00:21:28.62
I was there for three
and a half weeks never left
00:21:28.65\00:21:30.99
the borders of New York City
until the very last Sabbath,
00:21:31.02\00:21:35.11
when we had a tremendous
combined camp meeting,
00:21:35.14\00:21:38.05
Northeastern Conference
and Greater New York Conference
00:21:38.08\00:21:41.10
first time that
it has ever happened.
00:21:41.13\00:21:43.26
brothers and sisters
00:21:43.29\00:21:46.57
and many visitors there.
00:21:46.60\00:21:48.28
We have baptisms taking
place, it was like Pentecost.
00:21:48.31\00:21:52.35
It was an exciting time.
00:21:52.38\00:21:54.17
This sounds like it
was quite an undertaking.
00:21:54.20\00:21:57.76
What kind of partners
worked with you in this effort?
00:21:57.79\00:22:01.70
Well, obviously as I mentioned
00:22:01.73\00:22:03.27
the conferences worked heavily.
00:22:03.30\00:22:05.84
We had very strong
emphasis in the area
00:22:05.87\00:22:09.24
of
comprehensive health ministry.
00:22:09.27\00:22:11.82
You're gonna be
hearing much more about that
00:22:11.85\00:22:13.71
from the General Conference
in North American division
00:22:13.74\00:22:16.31
and the entire world field.
00:22:16.34\00:22:18.33
Because we're
told that the last work
00:22:18.36\00:22:20.94
that we will be able to do
will be medical missionary work
00:22:20.97\00:22:24.37
and that it is the
right arm to the gospel.
00:22:24.40\00:22:26.66
It's not the gospel
but it is the right arm.
00:22:26.69\00:22:29.12
And Ellen White said,
00:22:29.15\00:22:30.18
it is the best thing
you can do in New York.
00:22:30.21\00:22:33.16
So we have tremendous
help from health ministries,
00:22:33.19\00:22:36.27
from North America,
00:22:36.30\00:22:37.52
Carter Reiner
helped us tremendously.
00:22:37.55\00:22:40.64
There in New York itself,
00:22:40.67\00:22:43.09
they have a
tremendous health outreach.
00:22:43.12\00:22:45.12
They trained many people
we had ASI participation,
00:22:45.15\00:22:49.41
Denzil McNeilus was
there helping to train people
00:22:49.44\00:22:52.01
in knowing how to
give Bible studies.
00:22:52.04\00:22:54.28
It was a tremendous
collaborative venture.
00:22:54.31\00:22:57.90
It was not just
professionals doing it
00:22:57.93\00:23:00.96
in terms of the
pastoral staff, everybody,
00:23:00.99\00:23:04.54
and lay people were
just vitally involved.
00:23:04.57\00:23:08.00
And what was so exciting
was to see the enthusiasm
00:23:08.03\00:23:10.99
of the local church
there on West 11 Street.
00:23:11.02\00:23:13.93
And how the church
members just came alive,
00:23:13.96\00:23:16.66
it was a thrilling experience.
00:23:16.69\00:23:17.84
And God blessed with
miraculous with baptisms
00:23:17.87\00:23:22.30
and lots of things
that happened thereafter.
00:23:22.33\00:23:24.91
We just to name a few,
00:23:24.94\00:23:27.21
we had a Chinese
architect and his wife,
00:23:27.24\00:23:31.45
who joined the church
they were so impressed.
00:23:31.48\00:23:33.59
We had a wonderful gentleman
00:23:33.62\00:23:36.39
who will be
baptized very shortly
00:23:36.42\00:23:39.51
and who's-- who actually
is gonna become a pastor.
00:23:39.54\00:23:42.59
He is a very high
ranking sales representative
00:23:42.62\00:23:45.59
for a very strong hotel chain,
00:23:45.62\00:23:48.52
and was just
attracted to the message.
00:23:48.55\00:23:51.13
There was a Ukrainian lady there
00:23:51.16\00:23:52.66
who didn't speak any English
00:23:52.69\00:23:54.08
but a faithful
person sat next to her
00:23:54.11\00:23:56.77
and just translated the sermons
00:23:56.80\00:23:58.87
and she just, she was gonna
be baptize a little bit later.
00:23:58.90\00:24:01.74
And she told her pastor,
00:24:01.77\00:24:02.84
pastor can I
just be baptized now?
00:24:02.87\00:24:04.87
I want to be baptized now.
00:24:04.90\00:24:06.84
And another wonderful gentleman
00:24:06.87\00:24:08.88
who grew up in Greenwich Village
00:24:08.91\00:24:10.47
lives on the east side.
00:24:10.50\00:24:12.24
He and his brother
came just about every night.
00:24:12.27\00:24:14.74
It was thrilling to
see these things happen
00:24:14.77\00:24:17.89
and for me to be able to baptize
00:24:17.92\00:24:19.51
that particular gentleman.
00:24:19.54\00:24:21.81
John is his name and I know that
00:24:21.84\00:24:23.76
he's gonna be a
great, a great blessing.
00:24:23.79\00:24:27.13
It's just precious to see souls
00:24:27.16\00:24:29.85
who are attracted
to this Advent message.
00:24:29.88\00:24:33.86
And the Lord is gonna reward us
00:24:33.89\00:24:35.66
as we work in the
cities according to His method.
00:24:35.69\00:24:39.25
You know, Elder Wilson,
00:24:39.28\00:24:40.51
we just have a
little bit of time left.
00:24:40.54\00:24:42.04
And I'm struck with your report,
00:24:42.07\00:24:44.48
as I think about
this as a segment
00:24:44.51\00:24:46.23
of offering in action,
00:24:46.26\00:24:48.08
that there is so
much that we can do
00:24:48.11\00:24:49.83
with our hands and
with our resources.
00:24:49.86\00:24:52.28
Can you share with us
what we really should be about
00:24:52.31\00:24:55.76
as we look to the future,
00:24:55.79\00:24:58.75
a series that are gonna
happen in subsequent cities?
00:24:58.78\00:25:01.86
In fact everyone
will get an opportunity.
00:25:01.89\00:25:04.01
Everyone can have a chance
00:25:04.04\00:25:06.05
to participate in
mission to the cities.
00:25:06.08\00:25:10.76
Divisions all across this world,
00:25:10.79\00:25:12.87
all 13 of them are now planning
00:25:12.90\00:25:15.54
for specific endeavors
in their own large cities.
00:25:15.57\00:25:21.25
We're talking about over 600
00:25:21.28\00:25:23.89
within the next two years or so.
00:25:23.92\00:25:25.88
Everyone can get involved,
praying for these initiatives,
00:25:25.91\00:25:29.95
giving their funds
to assist in mission
00:25:29.98\00:25:32.18
to the cities in
their local areas.
00:25:32.21\00:25:34.76
And
participating, becoming involved
00:25:34.79\00:25:36.95
in every aspect small groups,
00:25:36.98\00:25:38.86
Bible studies,
medical missionary work,
00:25:38.89\00:25:42.31
every kind of aspect.
00:25:42.34\00:25:44.82
It's gonna be an exciting thing
00:25:44.85\00:25:46.37
because it is a
collaborative thing.
00:25:46.40\00:25:48.09
It's not just the official
organized church doing this.
00:25:48.12\00:25:51.77
This is every member involved
00:25:51.80\00:25:54.15
in the last final proclamation
of the Three Angels' Messages,
00:25:54.18\00:25:57.95
and the fourth
angel of Revelation 18.
00:25:57.98\00:26:01.87
I'm appealing to our
church administrators also
00:26:01.90\00:26:05.73
to take time for evangelism.
00:26:05.76\00:26:08.05
I carved out time,
I'm planning next year
00:26:08.08\00:26:10.81
to have two reaping
meetings one in Vietnam
00:26:10.84\00:26:14.80
and one in Papua New Guinea.
00:26:14.83\00:26:16.86
Another major meeting in Manila.
00:26:16.89\00:26:19.96
The following year,
00:26:19.99\00:26:21.55
a major meeting
in Harare, Zimbabwe
00:26:21.58\00:26:24.87
and perhaps in
another location as well,
00:26:24.90\00:26:27.89
that's still under discussion.
00:26:27.92\00:26:29.70
We need to lead by
example, by humble example
00:26:29.73\00:26:33.44
and I just want to
urge every single one of you
00:26:33.47\00:26:35.72
and those who are listening
00:26:35.75\00:26:37.72
on the air to become involved
00:26:37.75\00:26:40.86
in God's last great
proclamation to this world.
00:26:40.89\00:26:44.67
Seventh-day
Adventists have been called
00:26:44.70\00:26:46.78
for this time,
Jesus is coming soon.
00:26:46.81\00:26:49.91
Elder Wilson, thank you so much
00:26:49.94\00:26:51.45
for that special
report and for challenging us
00:26:51.48\00:26:54.40
to be partnerships in ministry.
00:26:54.43\00:26:56.52
Thank you.
00:26:56.55\00:26:57.60
And let me just thank ASI
for their vital participation.
00:26:57.63\00:27:01.38
Thank so much, Debbie.
00:27:01.41\00:27:03.03
Good evening ASI,
have you been blessed?
00:27:06.45\00:27:10.76
Amen.
00:27:10.79\00:27:12.42
Well, I have with me
two very special people.
00:27:12.45\00:27:15.54
And you've been
hearing all evening
00:27:15.57\00:27:18.44
from professional sort of,
00:27:18.47\00:27:21.72
and now we get to
hear from some lay people.
00:27:21.75\00:27:23.57
But they're professional
too, what are your names?
00:27:23.60\00:27:27.37
I'm Brian.
00:27:27.40\00:27:28.51
And I'm Lindy Schwartz.
00:27:28.54\00:27:30.42
And where are you from?
00:27:30.45\00:27:32.74
Ohio.
00:27:32.77\00:27:33.83
Ohio, and what do you do there?
00:27:33.86\00:27:36.76
We are both physicians.
00:27:36.79\00:27:38.66
Both of you are physicians. Yes.
00:27:38.69\00:27:40.46
Now I know some doctors
00:27:40.49\00:27:41.74
and they have
very little free time.
00:27:41.77\00:27:43.90
They're super busy all the time
00:27:43.93\00:27:46.46
and I would imagine
you would have no time
00:27:46.49\00:27:49.22
to do any kind of ministry.
00:27:49.25\00:27:51.63
Well, my motto used to be that
00:27:51.66\00:27:52.87
I work hard and
then I play hard,
00:27:52.90\00:27:54.76
but over the last few years,
00:27:54.79\00:27:56.19
we have tried to
use much of our time
00:27:56.22\00:27:58.24
for ministry
opportunities that we have off.
00:27:58.27\00:28:01.32
Okay, what kind of ministries?
00:28:01.35\00:28:03.78
So we've been involved
00:28:03.81\00:28:05.16
with some various mission trips.
00:28:05.19\00:28:07.20
I've been to Russia
and Africa several times,
00:28:07.23\00:28:10.60
tried to develop a ministry
just even within my practice.
00:28:10.63\00:28:14.00
Okay, you know,
going to overseas,
00:28:14.03\00:28:16.94
it's wonderful but not everybody
00:28:16.97\00:28:19.24
can get that opportunity.
00:28:19.27\00:28:21.24
Is there something
that other professionals
00:28:21.27\00:28:23.48
can bring ministry
into their practice at home?
00:28:23.51\00:28:27.19
So we've been involved
00:28:27.22\00:28:29.25
in trying to turn my
medical practice into a ministry
00:28:29.28\00:28:32.39
and everyday I
pray with patience,
00:28:32.42\00:28:35.33
I have discussions with them.
00:28:35.36\00:28:38.57
But also we're involved
with the ministry called Amen
00:28:38.60\00:28:41.72
and several physician
00:28:41.75\00:28:42.78
and dental
families involve with that
00:28:42.81\00:28:45.07
who like to do
different activities
00:28:45.10\00:28:47.02
started thinking about hmm,
00:28:47.05\00:28:48.27
what should we do
with our other time,
00:28:48.30\00:28:50.20
our vacation time
00:28:50.23\00:28:51.26
and that kind of got
us going along this way.
00:28:51.29\00:28:53.45
So you are tithing
your vacation time now.
00:28:53.48\00:28:56.46
Well, we wondered
00:28:56.49\00:28:57.66
as we're getting
closer to the end of time,
00:28:57.69\00:29:00.29
should we even
be taking vacation.
00:29:00.32\00:29:01.95
And we decided, well,
we should think about that
00:29:01.98\00:29:04.85
but what if we turn our
vacations into a ministry?
00:29:04.88\00:29:07.70
Now that sounds exciting,
I hate just taking vacations.
00:29:07.73\00:29:10.97
You just sit there
00:29:11.00\00:29:12.29
but you know doing a
mission trip on a vacation,
00:29:12.32\00:29:16.77
that sounds like a
really interesting idea,
00:29:16.80\00:29:19.20
so tell me how that works?
00:29:19.23\00:29:21.69
My wife was very
skeptical at first
00:29:21.72\00:29:23.99
but several families,
they got three family,
00:29:24.02\00:29:26.13
Nedley family, Chunk
family, several of us
00:29:26.16\00:29:28.35
and others had got
together we were brainstorming.
00:29:28.38\00:29:31.01
There is something that
we all like to do in common
00:29:31.04\00:29:32.79
was just to go
skiing in winter time.
00:29:32.82\00:29:34.63
And we thought--
00:29:34.66\00:29:35.77
And where do you go ski?
00:29:35.80\00:29:37.10
Well, we've been
in various places
00:29:37.13\00:29:38.61
but the last couple of
years has been in Colorado.
00:29:38.64\00:29:41.00
Colorado is a very nice state.
00:29:41.03\00:29:42.53
Very nice place and we decided
00:29:42.56\00:29:44.80
let's do something
for the ski community
00:29:44.83\00:29:47.84
let's do an evangelistic series
00:29:47.87\00:29:50.16
at the end of
the day after skiing
00:29:50.19\00:29:51.90
and invite people
from the ski lifts,
00:29:51.93\00:29:53.82
from the community,
00:29:53.85\00:29:55.04
people that
have flown in to come
00:29:55.07\00:29:56.68
to an
evangelistic series of sorts,
00:29:56.71\00:29:58.66
so it was on
health but we decided.
00:29:58.69\00:30:00.78
Okay, so this is-- this is
the high season of ski season.
00:30:00.81\00:30:03.95
Yes.
00:30:03.98\00:30:05.03
And there's
people all over the world
00:30:05.06\00:30:07.01
flying into Vail
at Christmas time.
00:30:07.04\00:30:10.46
Vail and Beaver
Creek are the two places
00:30:10.49\00:30:12.33
that we've tried thus
over the Christmas holidays.
00:30:12.36\00:30:14.70
The airport has business jets,
some personal jets lined up
00:30:14.73\00:30:18.02
from one end to the other
00:30:18.05\00:30:19.51
with very influential
people and their families there.
00:30:19.54\00:30:21.95
Yeah, these are
high powered people
00:30:21.98\00:30:23.90
and I would
imagine they've never gone
00:30:23.93\00:30:25.82
to a Seventh-day
Adventist evangelistic meeting.
00:30:25.85\00:30:28.62
So this was-- we advertise
00:30:28.65\00:30:31.25
Dr. Nedley's
Optimizing Your Brain Seminar.
00:30:31.28\00:30:34.51
So that's a little
bit cloaked in a way
00:30:34.54\00:30:36.18
that they'd be interested in it.
00:30:36.21\00:30:37.99
One mother brought her,
00:30:38.02\00:30:39.08
one mother who flew in on a jet,
00:30:39.11\00:30:41.11
her husband's a
CEO from New York
00:30:41.14\00:30:42.99
had two sons trying
to get them into Harvard,
00:30:43.02\00:30:44.90
they just took their SAT's.
00:30:44.93\00:30:46.64
She came and brought her son
00:30:46.67\00:30:47.74
because she want know
how to optimize their brain?
00:30:47.77\00:30:50.65
Okay, okay.
00:30:50.68\00:30:52.65
So now you are
reaching a segment
00:30:52.68\00:30:57.25
of the population that
is very difficult to reach.
00:30:57.28\00:31:00.53
And you didn't
know if it would work.
00:31:00.56\00:31:04.07
Yes, I thought that we
were going on vacation.
00:31:04.10\00:31:09.10
I thought to myself to build
00:31:09.13\00:31:11.23
this as a
mission trip was reaching
00:31:11.26\00:31:15.15
and it was an attempt to
sanctify our ski vacation.
00:31:15.18\00:31:18.87
And so I was
really-- I was skeptical
00:31:18.90\00:31:21.47
for the many weeks
that we were planning it,
00:31:21.50\00:31:24.31
when we arrived I was skeptical.
00:31:24.34\00:31:26.15
You know, you make
shopping for the groceries,
00:31:26.18\00:31:27.79
I was skeptical.
00:31:27.82\00:31:29.26
I was a quite negative person.
00:31:29.29\00:31:31.44
So what changed your mind?
00:31:31.47\00:31:33.24
Well, I just
want to read a quotes
00:31:33.27\00:31:35.08
that Ellen White wrote,
00:31:35.11\00:31:36.85
she is written
them in several places
00:31:36.88\00:31:39.17
but just couple of
lines this is from--
00:31:39.20\00:31:44.66
came on the obscure publication
Councils For The Church.
00:31:44.69\00:31:49.37
"We talking right
much of the neglected poor,
00:31:49.40\00:31:52.95
should not some
attention be given
00:31:52.98\00:31:54.57
also to the neglected rich."
00:31:54.60\00:31:57.19
And then she says,
00:31:57.22\00:31:58.99
"The majesty of
heaven came to our will
00:31:59.02\00:32:01.60
to save lost falling humanity.
00:32:01.63\00:32:04.19
His efforts included
not merely the outcast
00:32:04.22\00:32:07.01
but those in places
of high honor ingeniously
00:32:07.04\00:32:10.97
she says, he
work to obtain access
00:32:11.00\00:32:14.01
to souls in the higher
classes who knew not God
00:32:14.04\00:32:17.03
and did not keep
his commandments."
00:32:17.06\00:32:19.13
So I thought perhaps we were,
00:32:19.16\00:32:21.18
it was a legitimate
use of vacation time.
00:32:21.21\00:32:23.76
Okay, and so when you--
00:32:23.79\00:32:26.11
tell us what the
program actually was?
00:32:26.14\00:32:28.03
Yes, so we were-- we
are very specific about this
00:32:28.06\00:32:30.09
if we were gonna do,
we want to do it well,
00:32:30.12\00:32:31.84
so we've rented a hall.
00:32:31.87\00:32:33.56
We advertised it Dr.
Nedley had several Bible workers
00:32:33.59\00:32:36.62
from Weimar coming a
couple of weeks early.
00:32:36.65\00:32:38.80
Barbara Taylor,
who is the member
00:32:38.83\00:32:40.27
of ASI is in that community
and she helped to coordinate,
00:32:40.30\00:32:44.15
the actual program Dr.
Nedley did here last year
00:32:44.18\00:32:47.48
but it emphasizes our
Adventist health message,
00:32:47.51\00:32:50.59
we talked about Sabbath rest,
00:32:50.62\00:32:52.40
we talked about
abstaining from alcohol.
00:32:52.43\00:32:54.13
We talked about faith in God
00:32:54.16\00:32:55.84
and He used many
biblical examples through that.
00:32:55.87\00:32:58.47
And as a result we had
over 60 to 80 people attending.
00:32:58.50\00:33:03.20
It was one of the most
successful evangelistic series,
00:33:03.23\00:33:05.55
we've this a
couple of years in a row.
00:33:05.58\00:33:06.97
And we are
planning to do it again,
00:33:07.00\00:33:08.32
but one of the most
successful evangelistic series
00:33:08.35\00:33:10.70
I've been
involved with-- with people
00:33:10.73\00:33:12.69
from around the world
00:33:12.72\00:33:13.80
who flew in from Russia, Brazil.
00:33:13.83\00:33:16.74
Mexico.
00:33:16.77\00:33:18.22
Europe, Mexico
and from New York,
00:33:18.25\00:33:20.81
Wall Street and that type.
00:33:20.84\00:33:22.55
And what was the outcome
like have you heard any results?
00:33:22.58\00:33:28.69
We actually made
available the copies
00:33:28.72\00:33:31.56
of the Great Controversy
at the end of the program.
00:33:31.59\00:33:34.35
And 27 of them took the
copy of the Great Controversy.
00:33:34.38\00:33:38.44
Amen.
00:33:38.47\00:33:39.74
There were some
locals that also attended
00:33:39.77\00:33:41.97
that heard of the advertise,
00:33:42.00\00:33:43.17
and some of them
are now in studies
00:33:43.20\00:33:45.32
or have been studying with,
00:33:45.35\00:33:47.02
Barbara Taylor is still there
in the Copper Colorado Church.
00:33:47.05\00:33:51.35
So ASI family,
even your vacations
00:33:51.38\00:33:54.08
can be ASI evangelistic efforts.
00:33:54.11\00:33:57.06
Amen. Thank you so much.
00:33:57.09\00:33:59.03
Thank you.
00:33:59.06\00:34:00.11
Next we have,
00:34:00.14\00:34:03.48
next we have
another professional coming
00:34:03.51\00:34:06.31
his name is Dr. Mathew Hayden,
00:34:06.34\00:34:09.65
and Dr. Hayden you
and Randy Myer are here
00:34:09.68\00:34:14.61
because you have
a special project
00:34:14.64\00:34:17.22
and tell us what the
names of the project?
00:34:17.25\00:34:19.83
You know, our project is
international going hands.
00:34:19.86\00:34:23.04
Okay, and
there's two ministries?
00:34:23.07\00:34:26.29
My brother also has started
00:34:26.32\00:34:27.64
the ministry called
Caring Hands to Mouth.
00:34:27.67\00:34:30.26
Okay, and so Randy,
00:34:30.29\00:34:31.81
you are the office
manager for these ministries.
00:34:31.84\00:34:34.64
Tell us a little bit about them.
00:34:34.67\00:34:35.78
I think you have some pictures.
00:34:35.81\00:34:37.38
Yes, we have several pictures
that go along with this.
00:34:37.41\00:34:40.89
The first picture
that will be showing us
00:34:40.92\00:34:42.65
of a one day church
that we built in Livingston
00:34:42.68\00:34:45.12
on Christmas day this last year.
00:34:45.15\00:34:47.62
And we've built
several one day churches
00:34:47.65\00:34:49.95
in Malawi in
coordination with Maranatha
00:34:49.98\00:34:54.00
and we also built some
one evangelistic centers
00:34:54.03\00:34:57.88
with Riverside Farm Institute.
00:34:57.91\00:35:00.26
And were very excited about
00:35:00.29\00:35:02.20
the
possibilities of combining that
00:35:02.23\00:35:04.17
with medical
evangelism in the future.
00:35:04.20\00:35:07.88
Our next
picture that's coming up
00:35:07.91\00:35:10.87
is of one of our
mobile dental clinics.
00:35:10.90\00:35:13.30
This particular one
we're working in coordination
00:35:13.33\00:35:15.51
with ADRA to send to Madagascar.
00:35:15.54\00:35:19.72
And it's fully equipped,
any dentist can drive it.
00:35:19.75\00:35:23.18
It's an automatic,
and so we believe that
00:35:23.21\00:35:26.76
even a dentist can safely
pilot this to the locations
00:35:26.79\00:35:30.75
where we would be
providing dental work.
00:35:30.78\00:35:33.22
Okay, yes, let's tell them,
this is a mobile dental clinic.
00:35:33.25\00:35:37.48
Yes.
00:35:37.51\00:35:38.76
Fully you are
able to do everything
00:35:38.79\00:35:40.69
that a dentist office can do.
00:35:40.72\00:35:42.35
Exactly we have
all the equipment
00:35:42.38\00:35:44.87
the drive act,
the compressor system,
00:35:44.90\00:35:47.29
a 20k generator
that operates the unit.
00:35:47.32\00:35:50.25
It does not require any power
00:35:50.28\00:35:51.86
so it can go any
where and provide services.
00:35:51.89\00:35:54.98
We've been providing
services in southern Zambia,
00:35:55.01\00:35:58.57
quite effectively through this
mobile dental clinic program.
00:35:58.60\00:36:02.34
And we want to see
dentists come and join us
00:36:02.37\00:36:05.42
and find out what it's like
to have a wonderful experience.
00:36:05.45\00:36:10.70
And then this next slide
is a one of my favorite slides
00:36:10.73\00:36:14.17
of Dr. Matt Hayden
and one of his patients
00:36:14.20\00:36:17.01
and you know there is just
00:36:17.04\00:36:18.15
something about
doing mission work.
00:36:18.18\00:36:20.17
That smile on Dr. Hayden's face
00:36:20.20\00:36:22.16
there I think says it all.
00:36:22.19\00:36:24.53
A dentist who
can go and work hard
00:36:24.56\00:36:26.51
in 100 degree
weather and smile at the end,
00:36:26.54\00:36:31.36
definitely you know
that the Holy Spirit
00:36:31.39\00:36:33.03
is working in
relation of the process.
00:36:33.06\00:36:36.98
Okay, The next picture?
00:36:37.01\00:36:38.58
Our next picture
is actually a picture
00:36:38.61\00:36:40.38
of a dental clinic
in Tacoma, Washington.
00:36:40.41\00:36:43.44
We worked in
coordination with ADRA
00:36:43.47\00:36:45.67
and this dentist
Dr. Gladys Randolph
00:36:45.70\00:36:48.58
contacted us.
00:36:48.61\00:36:50.15
And she is from,
originally from Africa
00:36:50.18\00:36:52.77
and her goal was to
see her dental clinic
00:36:52.80\00:36:55.02
when she retired go to
Africa and provide mission work.
00:36:55.05\00:36:59.06
So we coordinated
with the ADRA staff
00:36:59.09\00:37:02.04
and ADRA shipped
this clinic to Mozambique
00:37:02.07\00:37:05.57
and it will be providing dental
services in a dental clinic
00:37:05.60\00:37:09.38
in one of the one day structures
00:37:09.41\00:37:10.80
that you saw earlier.
00:37:10.83\00:37:13.39
And the last picture?
00:37:13.42\00:37:14.81
This last picture is a picture
of one of our dental clinics
00:37:14.84\00:37:18.11
in Micronesia in
the state of Chuuk
00:37:18.14\00:37:20.98
and it has hydraulic
systems on the outside
00:37:21.01\00:37:23.54
that allow it to be loaded
00:37:23.57\00:37:24.81
and unloaded
without having a crane.
00:37:24.84\00:37:27.23
All we have to do is have
00:37:27.26\00:37:28.32
the semi truck to
be able to deliver
00:37:28.35\00:37:30.02
this fully self
contained dental clinic.
00:37:30.05\00:37:32.63
And we've built
dental housing on the back.
00:37:32.66\00:37:34.90
It's fully self
contained and anyone can come
00:37:34.93\00:37:37.96
and stay there and
provide the dental work.
00:37:37.99\00:37:40.53
And we look forward
00:37:40.56\00:37:41.59
to dentists visiting
us in our booth to see
00:37:41.62\00:37:46.41
and learn more
information about our clinics.
00:37:46.44\00:37:49.19
Thank you, Dr. Hayden,
00:37:49.22\00:37:51.11
now you are a dentist
with a full time practice.
00:37:51.14\00:37:53.98
How do you find
time to do all these?
00:37:54.01\00:37:55.79
And how did you
start doing this ministry?
00:37:55.82\00:37:58.78
Well, I've been in
practice for about 19 years
00:37:58.81\00:38:01.25
and in 2008 I've grown up
00:38:01.28\00:38:03.54
in an Adventist
home, a mission home.
00:38:03.57\00:38:05.81
My dad was a missionary
when I was a small child.
00:38:05.84\00:38:08.30
And it came to me
that I was just going
00:38:08.33\00:38:11.03
through the motions
of being a Christian.
00:38:11.06\00:38:12.70
So rededicated my
life to Christ in 2008,
00:38:12.73\00:38:16.02
and I just
started asking question,
00:38:16.05\00:38:17.53
what does Christ want me to do?
00:38:17.56\00:38:20.27
And I started trying to
find a purpose for my life
00:38:20.30\00:38:23.34
and I took a trip to Africa.
00:38:23.37\00:38:25.21
And I saw the extreme
lack of dental care available
00:38:25.24\00:38:29.99
and I thought what?
00:38:30.02\00:38:31.75
What a better way
to spend my free time
00:38:31.78\00:38:35.23
and my extra income
00:38:35.26\00:38:36.66
then to provide
dental care to Africa
00:38:36.69\00:38:38.66
and that's how this came about.
00:38:38.69\00:38:40.16
Right, we talked to Dr. Schwartz
00:38:40.19\00:38:42.01
and now we're
talking to a dentist.
00:38:42.04\00:38:43.64
You guys have a lot of
free time, it seems like.
00:38:43.67\00:38:46.56
Well, you know my wife probably
wouldn't agree with that.
00:38:46.59\00:38:50.08
We spent a lot of our holidays
00:38:50.11\00:38:52.42
that we used to
spend in other activities,
00:38:52.45\00:38:55.33
developing a
program and going overseas.
00:38:55.36\00:38:57.52
We've been to Africa
about five times now,
00:38:57.55\00:38:59.35
we go couple of times a year.
00:38:59.38\00:39:01.05
We've been spending just
our free time in this endeavor.
00:39:01.08\00:39:04.33
Okay, so now when you say that
00:39:04.36\00:39:05.71
you were just living a
regular average American life.
00:39:05.74\00:39:09.60
What does that mean?
00:39:09.63\00:39:11.09
Well, I was very,
very busy in business.
00:39:11.12\00:39:14.46
It wasn't just a
normal practice that I had.
00:39:14.49\00:39:17.18
My brothers and I developed
00:39:17.21\00:39:18.49
a very large
business structure in Oregon.
00:39:18.52\00:39:22.26
We're-- we had more
than 20 offices in the state
00:39:22.29\00:39:26.00
and in 2009, I
wanted to change my life
00:39:26.03\00:39:28.54
and we sold most of it.
00:39:28.57\00:39:30.34
And we used proceeds for--
00:39:30.37\00:39:32.04
from a lot of that to
start these charities.
00:39:32.07\00:39:34.76
Okay, so now you
have your own practice,
00:39:34.79\00:39:36.93
its scale down.
00:39:36.96\00:39:38.14
Now the world would
look at that as sacrificing,
00:39:38.17\00:39:43.05
but how would you describe it?
00:39:43.08\00:39:44.62
You know, it's
been a great experience
00:39:44.65\00:39:47.27
like Randy was
talking about you go over
00:39:47.30\00:39:49.66
and you meet these people
00:39:49.69\00:39:50.94
and they are
just so appreciative.
00:39:50.97\00:39:53.11
Some of the times
when we've treated people
00:39:53.14\00:39:55.72
and they can speak English
00:39:55.75\00:39:57.03
they said, you know,
it's just so wonderful
00:39:57.06\00:39:59.65
that someone from the states
00:39:59.68\00:40:01.27
will take their
time to come over here.
00:40:01.30\00:40:03.43
And thinking
enough of us to come
00:40:03.46\00:40:05.94
and help us in our need.
00:40:05.97\00:40:07.93
Okay, now I
know we have dentists
00:40:07.96\00:40:09.62
and other professionals
here in our audience.
00:40:09.65\00:40:12.58
What would you say to
them if they're thinking about
00:40:12.61\00:40:15.37
maybe my life should
change, maybe my time should,
00:40:15.40\00:40:19.20
how I spent my
time should change.
00:40:19.23\00:40:20.39
What would you say?
00:40:20.42\00:40:21.45
Well, you know, when
we set up this charity
00:40:21.48\00:40:23.69
one of the goals was
to involve other people
00:40:23.72\00:40:25.59
in mission work
regardless of what it is.
00:40:25.62\00:40:28.43
And I will say to everybody here
00:40:28.46\00:40:31.17
that you can do
something to change
00:40:31.20\00:40:34.42
the lives of people in Africa,
00:40:34.45\00:40:35.87
'cause everyone
here knows a dentist.
00:40:35.90\00:40:37.99
You all are in
the same position,
00:40:38.02\00:40:40.36
each one of you
could come by our booth
00:40:40.39\00:40:42.45
and pick up a card
00:40:42.48\00:40:43.89
and go talk to the
dentist or the hygienist
00:40:43.92\00:40:45.70
they treat you and say
here's the great opportunity
00:40:45.73\00:40:48.15
if you want to go to Africa,
00:40:48.18\00:40:49.82
and change even
one person's life,
00:40:49.85\00:40:52.46
you can do that.
00:40:52.49\00:40:53.64
And what booth is that?
00:40:53.67\00:40:55.12
We're in 232, and
will be there tomorrow.
00:40:55.15\00:40:58.35
Come by and say hello.
00:40:58.38\00:40:59.94
Hey, so if you want
a mission opportunity
00:40:59.97\00:41:02.65
go to his booth
and they'll set you up.
00:41:02.68\00:41:05.41
Thank you so much, Dr. Hayden.
00:41:05.44\00:41:07.53
Okay, next we have
somebody very special
00:41:07.56\00:41:11.64
and he comes all
the way from India,
00:41:11.67\00:41:13.97
his first name is Ravi
and I can't say his last name.
00:41:14.00\00:41:18.32
What's your last name?
00:41:18.35\00:41:19.42
Thummatapalli.
00:41:19.45\00:41:22.54
Okay, we will just say Ravi T.
00:41:22.57\00:41:25.55
Okay, Ravi, I've
heard about your life story.
00:41:25.58\00:41:30.91
And it's very touching
00:41:30.94\00:41:32.47
and it's something
that I can relate to.
00:41:32.50\00:41:36.17
Okay, so tell us a little
bit about your early life.
00:41:36.20\00:41:40.18
Well, my mother died
when I was one year old.
00:41:40.21\00:41:42.64
And my grandmothers
raised me up for 4 years.
00:41:42.67\00:41:46.19
And after she
raised me for 4 years
00:41:46.22\00:41:48.69
and she died when
I was 5 years old.
00:41:48.72\00:41:51.21
And then I have no hope,
00:41:51.24\00:41:52.57
then my uncle, he
took me to his house
00:41:52.60\00:41:55.21
and I thought I'm going to
be one of the family members.
00:41:55.24\00:41:57.99
But they treated me as a
slave and I understand that
00:41:58.02\00:42:01.39
he took me to
his house to sell me.
00:42:01.42\00:42:03.53
And he sold me to
one of the rich man
00:42:03.56\00:42:05.84
to clean the cow shits.
00:42:05.87\00:42:06.94
And you were 4 years old?
00:42:06.97\00:42:08.29
I was 5 years old.
You were 5 years old.
00:42:08.32\00:42:10.13
Yes, and he sold me to one
of the rich man in the village
00:42:10.16\00:42:14.19
and to clean his cow
shed and care for his cows.
00:42:14.22\00:42:17.28
Okay, so you were a
slave at 5 years of age.
00:42:17.31\00:42:19.69
Yes, I was born to be a slave
00:42:19.72\00:42:21.89
to clean the cow
shed for the rich man.
00:42:21.92\00:42:24.53
Okay, and how long
were you in that situation?
00:42:24.56\00:42:27.86
I was about one
year there and as--
00:42:27.89\00:42:30.08
I was still there as a
slave working for the rich man.
00:42:30.11\00:42:32.64
My day began in the cow shed
00:42:32.67\00:42:34.17
and my day ended
up in the cow shed.
00:42:34.20\00:42:36.47
And while I was
going to the cow shed
00:42:36.50\00:42:39.00
early in the morning,
00:42:39.03\00:42:40.64
I met one Adventist
pastor and he asked me like
00:42:40.67\00:42:44.20
if I would like to go to school
00:42:44.23\00:42:45.36
like other
children in the village.
00:42:45.39\00:42:47.07
Okay, so you were--
how did you meet him?
00:42:47.10\00:42:49.98
You just met him in the streets?
00:42:50.01\00:42:51.46
No, like one fine evening
00:42:51.49\00:42:53.44
when I was bringing the cows
00:42:53.47\00:42:55.00
back to the shed from the farm
00:42:55.03\00:42:56.98
then I met this gentleman.
00:42:57.01\00:42:58.76
I didn't know he
was an Adventist pastor
00:42:58.79\00:43:00.80
because I was small.
00:43:00.83\00:43:02.26
And I only knew he was
a fine well dressed man.
00:43:02.29\00:43:05.05
And asked me like if I
would like to go to school?
00:43:05.08\00:43:08.07
And have three meals in
a day and a bed to sleep.
00:43:08.10\00:43:11.61
And that gave me
a hope and I thought
00:43:11.64\00:43:13.70
this would be better
than being in a cow shed.
00:43:13.73\00:43:16.10
Okay, and so this
man secured your release
00:43:16.13\00:43:20.68
and where did he take you?
00:43:20.71\00:43:22.18
Yes, and he promised me that
00:43:22.21\00:43:23.96
he would come back
in a two or three days
00:43:23.99\00:43:26.30
and take me to a place
where I can have three meals,
00:43:26.33\00:43:29.41
a bed to sleep and
I can go to school.
00:43:29.44\00:43:31.63
Then as he said, he came back
00:43:31.66\00:43:33.61
and he took me
out of the cow shed.
00:43:33.64\00:43:34.88
I do not know what deal
he had with the rich man.
00:43:34.91\00:43:38.31
He brought me
out of the cow shed,
00:43:38.34\00:43:39.69
then he brought me to one school
00:43:39.72\00:43:41.78
where provided by the Asian Aid,
00:43:41.81\00:43:44.02
and I was thrilled
that I into the school
00:43:44.05\00:43:48.86
where I can have three
meals and I can go to school
00:43:48.89\00:43:53.41
and have a very
nice bed to sleep.
00:43:53.44\00:43:55.41
Okay, that's wonderful.
00:43:55.44\00:43:59.48
One person can
make such a difference
00:43:59.51\00:44:01.25
in another person's life.
00:44:01.28\00:44:03.10
And so how long were you
at this Asian Aid orphanage.
00:44:03.13\00:44:08.76
I was there from
age five from nursery
00:44:08.79\00:44:12.13
till my graduation
that is still university.
00:44:12.16\00:44:15.73
Okay, now I know Asian Aid
works on a sponsorship program.
00:44:15.76\00:44:19.45
How many sponsors did you have?
00:44:19.48\00:44:22.09
My sponsor was only one sponsor
00:44:22.12\00:44:23.85
from nursery till my graduation.
00:44:23.88\00:44:27.54
So you had one
sponsor that sponsored you
00:44:27.57\00:44:29.58
from nursery all the
way through university.
00:44:29.61\00:44:33.27
Okay, and what
university was that?
00:44:33.30\00:44:35.13
Spicer Memorial
College in India.
00:44:35.16\00:44:37.22
Okay, so one sponsor,
00:44:37.25\00:44:38.55
sponsored you
all the way through.
00:44:38.58\00:44:40.25
Now, what subject did
you take it at Spicer?
00:44:40.28\00:44:43.47
I did computer science major
00:44:43.50\00:44:47.16
and theology
major also, both majors.
00:44:47.19\00:44:51.40
Okay, wonderful and so
now your life was saved,
00:44:51.43\00:44:56.30
you were rescued
00:44:56.33\00:44:57.68
and how-- what do you do now?
00:44:57.71\00:45:01.36
Well, Asian Aid gave me
00:45:01.39\00:45:02.94
a positive
permanent change in my life,
00:45:02.97\00:45:05.59
the same way I
was able to rescue
00:45:05.62\00:45:08.69
four students, two were girls
00:45:08.72\00:45:11.73
and two were boys, I could see--
00:45:11.76\00:45:13.37
Now-- okay, let me stop you now.
00:45:13.40\00:45:15.39
You work for
Asian Aid full time now.
00:45:15.42\00:45:17.17
Yes.
00:45:17.20\00:45:18.51
You're a field
representative, is that right?
00:45:18.54\00:45:20.76
Yes.
00:45:20.79\00:45:21.82
And in that
position you were able
00:45:21.85\00:45:24.62
to rescue four other children.
00:45:24.65\00:45:26.91
Yes.
00:45:26.94\00:45:28.08
Tell me about one of them?
00:45:28.11\00:45:31.19
Well, there was one girl was
in the same life that I faced,
00:45:31.22\00:45:36.36
like she was treated as a
slave in one of the houses.
00:45:36.39\00:45:39.80
And this was got to
one of the Asian Aid--
00:45:39.83\00:45:42.40
one of the schools
00:45:42.43\00:45:43.67
where the Asian Aid
program is in the schools.
00:45:43.70\00:45:46.59
And one of the
staff in the school
00:45:46.62\00:45:49.43
brought to our notice
then I could get a chance
00:45:49.46\00:45:52.44
and go see the girl, visit her,
00:45:52.47\00:45:54.37
and could see what she
was doing in the house.
00:45:54.40\00:45:56.46
And she was just
treated as a slave
00:45:56.49\00:45:58.06
where her cousins
were sent to the school
00:45:58.09\00:46:00.39
but she was-- she
has to be in the house
00:46:00.42\00:46:02.80
and work for her aunt.
00:46:02.83\00:46:04.41
And I could talk to the girl
00:46:04.44\00:46:06.10
and see that she
can come to the school
00:46:06.13\00:46:07.48
and she was very happy
00:46:07.51\00:46:08.74
when I said, I'm gonna
take her to the school.
00:46:08.77\00:46:10.65
And now she is in one
of the Asian Aids schools,
00:46:10.68\00:46:13.80
an Adventist school in India.
00:46:13.83\00:46:15.89
So you were rescued
00:46:15.92\00:46:17.17
and in turn you were
able to rescue this girl?
00:46:17.20\00:46:19.17
Yes.
00:46:19.20\00:46:20.23
Okay, now you
were telling me about
00:46:20.26\00:46:21.46
another person that was rescued.
00:46:21.49\00:46:23.78
She was forced to be a nun.
00:46:23.81\00:46:26.32
Oh, yes, and she is a young girl
00:46:26.35\00:46:29.19
and was forced to be a nun
00:46:29.22\00:46:30.88
and she didn't want to be a nun.
00:46:30.91\00:46:32.45
And she was sent
out of the schools
00:46:32.48\00:46:34.51
and she has no other way to go.
00:46:34.54\00:46:36.23
And she has-- she approached
00:46:36.26\00:46:37.98
one of the schools in India,
00:46:38.01\00:46:39.26
where there's an
Asian Aid program
00:46:39.29\00:46:41.13
and Asian Aid has come forward
to sponsor her graduation.
00:46:41.16\00:46:45.14
She graduated
00:46:45.17\00:46:46.20
and she's an Asian Aid graduate,
00:46:46.23\00:46:47.76
she graduated and she is working
00:46:47.79\00:46:49.60
in one of the
Adventist schools in India.
00:46:49.63\00:46:52.64
Okay, so you rescued this woman,
00:46:52.67\00:46:55.46
she was a young lady.
00:46:55.49\00:46:56.53
Yes.
00:46:56.56\00:46:57.63
And because she was rescued,
00:46:57.66\00:46:59.47
now she is
ministering to other children.
00:46:59.50\00:47:01.13
Yes.
00:47:01.16\00:47:02.23
And teaching them about Jesus.
00:47:02.26\00:47:04.88
She is teaching about Jesus.
00:47:04.91\00:47:06.21
Yeah, this is wonderful.
00:47:06.24\00:47:07.90
So if you-- you know,
00:47:07.93\00:47:09.40
you may not be a doctor,
you may not be a dentist,
00:47:09.43\00:47:11.77
you may not be able to
go set up mobile clinics.
00:47:11.80\00:47:14.02
You may not be able
to reach the very wealthy
00:47:14.05\00:47:18.46
but this is something that
00:47:18.49\00:47:19.58
everybody can do
is sponsor a child.
00:47:19.61\00:47:22.70
One person can make
00:47:22.73\00:47:23.78
so much
difference in a child's life
00:47:23.81\00:47:26.79
and you never know the
return that you will get.
00:47:26.82\00:47:30.47
And I just want
to say personally,
00:47:30.50\00:47:33.19
I was one of those orphans
00:47:33.22\00:47:34.51
in a Seventh-day
Adventist orphanage
00:47:34.54\00:47:36.35
and I was sponsored.
00:47:36.38\00:47:37.74
And so this
something that everyone can do.
00:47:37.77\00:47:41.36
So go to Asian Aid booth
00:47:41.39\00:47:44.00
and find out how you can sponsor
00:47:44.03\00:47:45.94
and rescue a child.
00:47:45.97\00:47:47.13
Thank you so much.
00:47:47.16\00:47:48.32
Thank you.
00:47:48.35\00:47:49.85
Adventist youth,
we've seen so much pain
00:47:54.21\00:47:58.81
in the different
parts of the world,
00:47:58.84\00:48:00.25
locally and internationally
00:48:00.28\00:48:02.56
and the song that we
are about to sing for you
00:48:02.59\00:48:04.99
comes from Zimbabwe.
00:48:05.02\00:48:07.12
And it says even
though there is so much pain,
00:48:07.15\00:48:10.69
one day we're gonna go
00:48:10.72\00:48:11.81
to our Father's house in heaven.
00:48:11.84\00:48:13.84
And we'll walk
on streets of gold.
00:48:13.87\00:48:16.09
Come on brother,
sister, mother, father
00:48:16.12\00:48:18.88
come with us to heaven, Ehkaya.
00:48:18.91\00:48:21.96
Just imagine
00:51:14.34\00:51:17.56
A city made of gold
00:51:17.59\00:51:24.25
Imagine the day
00:51:26.73\00:51:29.56
When the Father's radiant
00:51:29.59\00:51:33.30
Glory will behold
00:51:33.33\00:51:38.60
Imagine a time
00:51:38.63\00:51:41.99
Where there will be
00:51:42.02\00:51:44.65
No crying, no more pain
00:51:44.68\00:51:50.74
Imagine when Jesus comes again
00:51:50.77\00:51:57.74
Imagine a place
00:52:02.47\00:52:06.87
Where there's no more night
00:52:06.90\00:52:11.50
Where the glory of God
00:52:14.03\00:52:17.16
Will forever shine
00:52:17.19\00:52:20.20
With eternal light
00:52:20.23\00:52:26.55
We'll gather round the throne
00:52:26.58\00:52:31.50
Of the great I am
00:52:31.53\00:52:38.34
What glory
00:52:38.37\00:52:41.23
When Jesus comes again
00:52:41.26\00:52:47.11
The trumpet will sound
00:52:49.53\00:52:53.39
And the dead in Christ
00:52:53.42\00:52:55.05
Will all be raised
00:52:55.08\00:53:01.47
He will come in
the twinkling of an eye
00:53:01.50\00:53:08.46
And then those
who believe in Him
00:53:10.85\00:53:15.75
As Savior and Lord
00:53:15.78\00:53:20.99
Will be caught up
00:53:21.02\00:53:23.47
To meet Him in the sky
00:53:23.50\00:53:29.06
Just imagine
00:53:36.40\00:53:40.28
What glory that will be
00:53:40.31\00:53:44.98
On the day
00:53:47.94\00:53:50.76
When our precious Savior's face
00:53:50.79\00:53:56.36
We will see
00:53:56.39\00:54:00.34
We will bow before thy throne
00:54:00.37\00:54:05.42
Singing praises to the Lamb
00:54:05.45\00:54:11.12
To the Lamb
00:54:11.15\00:54:14.83
What glory
00:54:14.86\00:54:17.63
When Jesus comes again
00:54:17.66\00:54:23.01
Imagine when Jesus comes again
00:54:26.08\00:54:33.08
Comes again
00:54:36.75\00:54:42.17
