And so, since we are
just empty vessels Lord,
00:00:20.45\00:00:23.18
seeking to do
nothing less than your will,
00:00:23.22\00:00:25.85
we ask that you will
fill us with your Spirit
00:00:25.89\00:00:28.52
and empower us to continue
00:00:28.56\00:00:30.56
the work that we
are called to do,
00:00:30.59\00:00:33.06
so be with us Lord,
guide us and thank you
00:00:33.09\00:00:36.36
for answering this
prayer, this we ask and pray
00:00:36.40\00:00:39.57
in your precious and
wonderful name, amen.
00:00:39.60\00:00:42.47

00:00:42.50\00:00:46.07
Piano introductory music...
00:00:46.14\00:00:53.98
When I survey the wondrous cross
00:00:54.02\00:01:02.39
On which the
Prince of glory died,
00:01:02.42\00:01:11.13
My richest gain
I count but loss,
00:01:11.17\00:01:20.68
And pour
contempt on all my pride.
00:01:20.71\00:01:30.19
Piano music...
00:01:30.22\00:01:36.12
Forbid it, Lord,
that I should boast,
00:01:36.19\00:01:44.57
Save in the
death of Christ my God!
00:01:44.60\00:01:53.38
All the vain
things that charm me most,
00:01:53.41\00:02:02.32
I sacrifice them
00:02:02.35\00:02:07.49
to His blood.
00:02:07.52\00:02:12.56
See from His head,
00:02:12.59\00:02:17.63
His hands, His feet,
00:02:17.67\00:02:22.64
Sorrow and love
flow mingled down!
00:02:22.67\00:02:31.55
Did e'er such
love and sorrow meet,
00:02:31.58\00:02:40.69
Or thorns
compose so rich a crown?
00:02:40.72\00:02:49.46
Piano playing...
00:02:49.53\00:02:56.94
more music...
00:02:56.97\00:03:03.51
some more music
00:03:03.55\00:03:08.98
some more music...
00:03:09.05\00:03:13.96
Were the whole
realm of nature mine,
00:03:13.99\00:03:22.26
Love so amazing,
00:03:22.30\00:03:27.84
so divine,
00:03:27.87\00:03:36.81
Demands my soul,
00:03:36.85\00:03:42.18
my life, my all.
00:03:42.22\00:03:46.76
Audience: Amen...
00:03:46.79\00:03:51.29
We are happy to welcome
00:03:51.33\00:03:55.36
each of you here this evening,
00:03:55.40\00:03:56.83
we are looking forward to a
program that will inspire us
00:03:56.87\00:04:00.14
and I'm delighted to
be here with Bill Knott
00:04:00.17\00:04:03.44
who is the Editor
of Adventist Review
00:04:03.47\00:04:05.97
and Adventist World as well,
00:04:06.01\00:04:07.48
we're so glad you're
with us this evening.
00:04:07.51\00:04:08.84
Good to be here.
00:04:08.88\00:04:10.21
Well, you probably have noticed
00:04:10.25\00:04:12.18
that there have
been some changes
00:04:12.21\00:04:14.18
and we're going to talk
about some of those changes
00:04:14.22\00:04:16.15
for the Adventist Review.
00:04:16.18\00:04:17.52
But before we get into
that, I just want to say,
00:04:17.55\00:04:19.85
"Wow! you actually made it
through the Alamodome battle...
00:04:19.89\00:04:23.96
and you survived
the... every single day...
00:04:23.99\00:04:27.80
48 pages for the
Adventist Review. "
00:04:27.83\00:04:30.27
It's not... it's like...
00:04:30.30\00:04:31.63
we've never done anything
quite that ambitious before,
00:04:31.67\00:04:34.34
typically Adventist
Review, which has functioned
00:04:34.40\00:04:36.84
as the daily bulletin of
the General Conference Session
00:04:36.87\00:04:40.31
since the very first one,
in 1863... this year we...
00:04:40.34\00:04:43.71
added 50 percent
more in page count
00:04:43.75\00:04:46.82
and that meant 50
percent more time and design
00:04:46.85\00:04:49.62
and everything else and
created a daily bulletin
00:04:49.65\00:04:52.35
that really tried to capture the
whole experience in San Antonio.
00:04:52.39\00:04:57.29
My staff is enormously glad
00:04:57.33\00:04:59.43
the General
Conference Session is over...
00:04:59.46\00:05:01.06
and doesn't come
back for five years.
00:05:01.10\00:05:02.60
I'm sure that's true,
00:05:02.63\00:05:04.10
well, you know,
so much has changed
00:05:04.13\00:05:06.27
about the look and
feel of the Adventist Review
00:05:06.30\00:05:08.80
and so, I'm just wondering
how is that working out
00:05:08.84\00:05:11.27
and what
motivated these changes?
00:05:11.31\00:05:14.34
You know, every
successful marketer
00:05:14.38\00:05:17.38
talks with an audience and
discovers what it is they want
00:05:17.41\00:05:21.15
we began doing
research a number of years ago
00:05:21.18\00:05:23.95
talking with our faithful
Adventist Review subscribers...
00:05:23.99\00:05:26.82
many of you in this room
00:05:26.86\00:05:28.19
sending in Survey responses,
letters asking for your opinions
00:05:28.22\00:05:32.06
and the answers that
came back routinely were,
00:05:32.09\00:05:34.23
"We would like
the Adventist Review
00:05:34.26\00:05:37.47
a little less frequently
00:05:37.53\00:05:38.87
and a little more
substantial when it comes"
00:05:38.90\00:05:41.07
and, in fact, many
people were saying,
00:05:41.10\00:05:43.37
"Bill, we feel terribly guilty
because we don't actually get
00:05:43.41\00:05:47.04
to reading all of the
articles" and we said,
00:05:47.08\00:05:48.84
"Well, who reads magazines
that way anymore, today?
00:05:48.88\00:05:51.38
So we're going to provide you
with a more substantial magazine
00:05:51.41\00:05:55.25
once a month and show
you how to use it every week
00:05:55.28\00:05:57.89
if it's your habit to
read the Adventist Review,
00:05:57.95\00:06:00.56
every Friday evening"
00:06:00.59\00:06:01.92
and a big percentage
of our readers do that.
00:06:01.96\00:06:04.19
So, after months
of thinking about this
00:06:04.23\00:06:06.73
and our Board endorsement,
00:06:06.76\00:06:08.10
we launched this new
edition on April the 1st.
00:06:08.13\00:06:10.37
We particularly wanted to focus
on an audience of faithful,
00:06:10.40\00:06:16.60
committed young
families in Adventism
00:06:16.64\00:06:19.51
as well as their
parents and grandparents
00:06:19.54\00:06:22.34
trying to raise up
another generation of faith
00:06:22.38\00:06:24.95
so that the Lord's
work will continue.
00:06:25.01\00:06:27.08
We've had an
enormously good response to that
00:06:27.12\00:06:29.45
on every scale we can measure
by... God has been blessing.
00:06:29.48\00:06:32.99
We hear from so many
of our readers who say,
00:06:33.05\00:06:36.16
"I may be 90 years old
but I like the new look"
00:06:36.19\00:06:39.26
those are the
gratifying letters to get.
00:06:39.29\00:06:41.66
Okay, well, I just want
to bring to your attention
00:06:41.70\00:06:44.90
that you have a
copy on your seat,
00:06:44.93\00:06:47.40
every single seat got a
copy of the Adventist Review
00:06:47.44\00:06:50.41
and I want to point out that
this is an ASI Special Edition.
00:06:50.44\00:06:54.34
And in fact, we have been
creating an ASI Special Edition
00:06:54.38\00:06:58.58
for almost ten years now
putting in unique ASI content
00:06:58.61\00:07:02.75
telling the
stories of ASI each year
00:07:02.78\00:07:05.55
part of what we're
interested in doing
00:07:05.59\00:07:08.29
is using this vehicle which
the Lord has given this church
00:07:08.32\00:07:11.76
to shine a
spotlight on the ministries,
00:07:11.79\00:07:14.66
on the services,
the organizations
00:07:14.70\00:07:17.10
that God is using
to finish His work.
00:07:17.17\00:07:19.53
That isn't only happening
00:07:19.57\00:07:21.34
out of the General
Conference building.
00:07:21.40\00:07:23.10
Well, we are delighted
00:07:23.14\00:07:24.84
for this
collaboration that we can have
00:07:24.87\00:07:26.71
together with
the Adventist Review
00:07:26.74\00:07:28.24
and the ASI family,
00:07:28.28\00:07:29.61
it's something that's
very much appreciated,
00:07:29.64\00:07:31.75
and I'd like to find out
what's different between...
00:07:31.81\00:07:35.92
like... what we
had last year at ASI...
00:07:35.95\00:07:39.45
what's different and
what's the same as well.
00:07:39.49\00:07:41.06
Well, first of all,
00:07:41.09\00:07:42.46
the message of the
Adventist Review is unchanged
00:07:42.49\00:07:45.06
and I pray that it
will always stay unchanged.
00:07:45.09\00:07:47.50
This magazine...
James White described
00:07:47.53\00:07:49.60
as gathering
the scattered flock,
00:07:49.66\00:07:51.63
it's here to nurture and
support faithful Adventism
00:07:51.67\00:07:55.44
that's always
going to be the same
00:07:55.47\00:07:57.24
but the look of
this is quite different,
00:07:57.27\00:07:58.87
you notice the
polybag that it's in,
00:07:58.91\00:08:00.44
the KidsView magazine
which many adults tell us
00:08:00.48\00:08:03.41
is one of their favorite
pieces of what we produce,
00:08:03.45\00:08:06.31
KidsView is now
wrapped in this polybag
00:08:06.35\00:08:09.15
but you'll also notice
that other material can travel
00:08:09.18\00:08:12.75
in this mailing opportunity
00:08:12.79\00:08:14.86
to all of the
subscribers of Adventist Review
00:08:14.89\00:08:17.93
and so partner ministries,
00:08:17.96\00:08:19.33
ASI partner
ministries can work with us...
00:08:19.39\00:08:22.30
we can help carry the postage
so that your message gets out
00:08:22.36\00:08:26.03
to our Adventist
Review Subscribers.
00:08:26.07\00:08:27.77
We are looking
forward to the opportunities
00:08:27.80\00:08:29.84
that this new
vehicle creates for us
00:08:29.87\00:08:32.17
in giving all of
the ministries of ASI
00:08:32.21\00:08:33.88
an opportunity
to get their message
00:08:33.91\00:08:36.08
in front of core
Adventist readers.
00:08:36.11\00:08:38.21
What a wonderful opportunity,
that's just really a good idea
00:08:38.25\00:08:41.75
to be able to include others
as well in getting messages out.
00:08:41.78\00:08:45.25
Well, in fact you'll find
in this polybag, this evening,
00:08:45.29\00:08:48.02
an ASI ministry,
00:08:48.06\00:08:49.82
one of the newest members of ASI
has material in this polybag...
00:08:49.86\00:08:53.96
you'll get an example there of
what we could do to be helpful
00:08:54.00\00:08:57.87
to other ministries as they
want to grow their footprint
00:08:57.90\00:09:00.87
in their opportunity to serve.
00:09:00.90\00:09:02.24
Wow! what a
wonderful opportunity...
00:09:02.27\00:09:04.01
in fact, I kind of
hear those polybags
00:09:04.04\00:09:05.67
kind of make us
some noise out there
00:09:05.71\00:09:07.08
so I know that people
are looking at the magazines.
00:09:07.11\00:09:08.84
Well, you know, you
have been coming to ASI
00:09:08.91\00:09:11.58
now for 15 years and
actually eight of those years
00:09:11.61\00:09:14.58
you've been the senior
editor of Adventist Review,
00:09:14.62\00:09:17.52
so, my last question to you
is why do you keep coming back
00:09:17.55\00:09:20.89
we're delighted to have
you but tell us why you come.
00:09:20.92\00:09:24.23
My family and my staff
know that this is one of the
00:09:24.26\00:09:27.26
absolute "Musts"
in my annual calendar,
00:09:27.30\00:09:30.07
I build everything
around what happens
00:09:30.10\00:09:32.83
in early August each year,
00:09:32.87\00:09:34.87
not only because it
represents an opportunity
00:09:34.90\00:09:37.51
to talk with people who
are doing frontline ministry
00:09:37.54\00:09:40.38
because it's a
tremendous inspiration to me
00:09:40.41\00:09:43.18
to see what God is doing
through this Organization.
00:09:43.24\00:09:46.31
The first ASI Convention
I attended, 15 years ago,
00:09:46.35\00:09:49.38
I returned and I
wrote an editorial
00:09:49.42\00:09:51.55
for the Adventist Review,
00:09:51.59\00:09:52.92
the title of which
was addressed to me.
00:09:52.95\00:09:55.99
It read, "Your
church is too small"
00:09:56.02\00:09:58.56
and what I meant by that was...
00:09:58.59\00:10:01.10
I had too small a vision
00:10:01.13\00:10:03.10
of what God was
doing in this Movement
00:10:03.13\00:10:05.13
and coming to ASI
each year reminds me again
00:10:05.17\00:10:08.50
that God doesn't only work out
of bricks and mortar buildings,
00:10:08.54\00:10:12.14
God doesn't only work
through named Organizations,
00:10:12.17\00:10:15.28
God's constantly at
work through His Spirit
00:10:15.31\00:10:17.61
raising up faithful people,
00:10:17.65\00:10:19.18
I get a chance to meet you
at ASI to hear your stories
00:10:19.21\00:10:22.68
to tell those stories
in the Adventist Review
00:10:22.72\00:10:24.89
and in Adventist World,
00:10:24.92\00:10:26.25
those are the things that
make me excited to be here
00:10:26.29\00:10:28.86
and to meet you each year.
00:10:28.92\00:10:30.26
Thank you so much...
00:10:30.29\00:10:31.63
it's a privilege
to work together.
00:10:31.66\00:10:32.99
It's good to be with you.
00:10:33.03\00:10:34.66
We got to move
along very quickly here
00:10:34.70\00:10:36.30
and I have with
me, Barbara Taylor,
00:10:36.36\00:10:39.00
who has been with
ASI for many, many years
00:10:39.03\00:10:42.67
and from the Denver area,
00:10:42.70\00:10:44.21
she's going to tell us
about New Beginnings DVD Series.
00:10:44.27\00:10:48.58
The New Beginnings DVD Series
00:10:48.61\00:10:51.41
has been one of the
most exciting, successful,
00:10:51.45\00:10:55.12
wonderful, soul-winning programs
00:10:55.15\00:10:59.05
that ASI has ever
established in my opinion
00:10:59.09\00:11:02.42
and I can tell you right
now that when you ever become
00:11:02.46\00:11:05.93
involved with ASI New
Beginnings DVD Training,
00:11:05.96\00:11:08.66
you will become
on fire for the Lord.
00:11:08.73\00:11:11.20
Yeah, is this cost
effective, tell me...
00:11:11.23\00:11:13.70
it's very, very cost effective,
00:11:13.74\00:11:16.44
the other day, when we
were in our Board Meeting
00:11:16.47\00:11:19.01
we found that
they're actually per soul...
00:11:19.04\00:11:21.34
it's one dollar per soul
00:11:21.38\00:11:23.41
when we use the New
Beginnings DVD training program.
00:11:23.45\00:11:26.82
They'll be people
who stay in the church
00:11:26.85\00:11:28.82
or what's the average people
who leave or stay in the church?
00:11:28.85\00:11:31.82
You could send out
a hundred evangelists
00:11:31.85\00:11:34.09
and they could
have a hundred baptisms
00:11:34.16\00:11:36.32
and the statistics
show that after one year
00:11:36.36\00:11:39.53
95 percent of those
people have left the church
00:11:39.56\00:11:42.73
because they're not connected,
they do not have anyone
00:11:42.76\00:11:46.87
to give them nurturing,
to give them encouragement,
00:11:46.90\00:11:50.97
to get them
involved in other programs
00:11:51.01\00:11:52.97
and the reason that the
New Beginnings DVD program
00:11:53.01\00:11:56.01
is so successful,
is... once we form teams
00:11:56.04\00:11:59.81
and once they start these
small group home Bible studies,
00:11:59.85\00:12:03.62
with lay people,
just like yourselves,
00:12:03.69\00:12:06.29
they become baptized
and once they're baptized,
00:12:06.32\00:12:10.83
they get on fire for the Lord
00:12:10.86\00:12:13.76
and they get those
people involved in training them
00:12:13.80\00:12:16.97
to become
involved in the next new...
00:12:17.00\00:12:19.03
So what kind of
retention do we have here?
00:12:19.07\00:12:21.07
Is it better than the
large evangelism program?
00:12:21.10\00:12:23.81
It has shown
that after five years,
00:12:23.84\00:12:26.31
88 percent of those
people are still in the church
00:12:26.34\00:12:30.15
and they're out winning
new souls to God's kingdom.
00:12:30.21\00:12:33.98
So, you've been
involved in this for a while
00:12:34.02\00:12:36.18
and then you just do this
out of your home in Denver
00:12:36.22\00:12:38.69
or have you done this elsewhere?
00:12:38.72\00:12:40.06
No, this New Beginnings
DVD Program was started
00:12:40.09\00:12:44.06
in the year 2000
and this was a program
00:12:44.09\00:12:46.73
that was developed by
ASI and It is Written...
00:12:46.76\00:12:51.03
Mark Finley at the time
was in coordination with this
00:12:51.07\00:12:54.17
and now, we tie in very closely
with the General Conference
00:12:54.20\00:12:58.31
so this is a
marvelous, marvelous program.
00:12:58.34\00:13:00.71
And where have you been lately?
00:13:00.74\00:13:02.24
I just returned...
just last year from Brazil,
00:13:02.28\00:13:06.68
I went down to South America
00:13:06.72\00:13:08.28
and we did DVD Evangelism
Training in South America,
00:13:08.32\00:13:11.99
our very first
place that we went to
00:13:12.02\00:13:14.49
was down in Gravatá...
00:13:14.52\00:13:18.19
we trained 400
Bible Workers in Gravatá.
00:13:18.23\00:13:21.03
And I think we have a
slide that shows a little...
00:13:21.06\00:13:22.93
something about this.
00:13:22.96\00:13:24.30
Yes, when we trained the 400...
00:13:24.33\00:13:26.87
these were 400 Bible
Workers from one Conference,
00:13:26.90\00:13:30.01
wouldn't we love to
have 400 Bible Workers
00:13:30.04\00:13:32.77
in our one
Conference in our United States?
00:13:32.81\00:13:35.44
Yeah, there's a girl named
Sarah on the second slide...
00:13:35.48\00:13:39.08
Yes, and Sarah...
00:13:39.11\00:13:40.75
this lady doing
home Bible Studies,
00:13:40.78\00:13:44.29
these are all lay people...
the home Bible Studies...
00:13:44.32\00:13:46.96
she has baptized...
last year... a 135 baptisms,
00:13:46.99\00:13:52.03
can I hear an
"amen?" Audience: Amen
00:13:52.09\00:13:54.86
The total over
the past... ten years?
00:13:54.90\00:13:57.67
Over the past ten years,
00:13:57.70\00:13:59.03
she's baptized
over 1,000 people.
00:13:59.07\00:14:01.60
Now, now, wait a minute,
if she baptized 135 last year
00:14:01.64\00:14:05.81
and a thousand over ten years,
00:14:05.87\00:14:07.64
so she had some down
years... it sounds like...
00:14:07.68\00:14:10.21
maybe only about 90 per year.
00:14:10.25\00:14:12.48
I would love to have that kind
of a down year, wouldn't you?
00:14:12.51\00:14:15.18
Yes, and so... after that
00:14:15.22\00:14:18.79
you went to Bolivia
and trained some more.
00:14:18.82\00:14:20.96
Yes, Pastor Denado and
myself... we went to Bolivia
00:14:21.02\00:14:25.93
and we trained
over 500 lay people
00:14:25.96\00:14:30.47
who... some of them...
00:14:30.50\00:14:31.90
traveled 24 hours
to get to the meetings,
00:14:31.93\00:14:34.74
they trained all
throughout the day
00:14:34.77\00:14:37.24
and the next...
that night, they got back
00:14:37.27\00:14:39.47
and they traveled
another 24 hours to get home
00:14:39.51\00:14:42.14
and this is amazing because
00:14:42.18\00:14:44.55
we had testimonies that
were just outstanding...
00:14:44.58\00:14:47.68
in the next slide,
you're going to see
00:14:47.72\00:14:51.29
a little lady here
holding the DVD disc...
00:14:51.32\00:14:54.66
or DVD player...
and this little lady...
00:14:54.72\00:14:57.89
she's from Santa Cruz,
Bolivia, and she has started
00:14:57.93\00:15:01.86
31 home Bible Study groups
00:15:01.90\00:15:05.20
in her one church
in Central Bolivia,
00:15:05.23\00:15:07.97
in Central Santa Cruz...
00:15:08.00\00:15:09.70
and she has... every
single week they have
00:15:09.74\00:15:12.47
multiple baptisms,
not just one a week
00:15:12.51\00:15:15.14
but multiple baptisms
and the next slide is showing
00:15:15.18\00:15:18.81
a General... now this
General gave his testimony,
00:15:18.85\00:15:22.38
he was a top General
in the Country of Bolivia,
00:15:22.42\00:15:26.12
and when he... his
wife and three daughters
00:15:26.15\00:15:29.82
became Seventh-day Adventists
00:15:29.86\00:15:31.36
through the small
group home Bible Studies,
00:15:31.39\00:15:33.36
and when he would
get up every Sabbath
00:15:33.40\00:15:36.20
his daughters and
his wife would say,
00:15:36.23\00:15:38.97
"Oh, please, please
papa, come to church with us. "
00:15:39.00\00:15:41.80
And he'd say,
"No... " and he'd march off
00:15:41.84\00:15:44.47
and he'd go on to his work,
00:15:44.51\00:15:45.84
after three years
of earnest prayer,
00:15:45.87\00:15:48.81
one Sabbath he
woke up and he said,
00:15:48.84\00:15:51.48
"Okay, I'll go
to church with you"
00:15:51.51\00:15:54.45
and he became a
Seventh-day Adventist,
00:15:54.48\00:15:57.65
he retired from the
military and last year
00:15:57.69\00:16:01.29
he had 32 baptisms...
00:16:01.32\00:16:03.36
can I hear another
amen? Audience: Amen.
00:16:03.39\00:16:06.06
And then, this
year, he is going to give
00:16:06.09\00:16:08.53
three small-group home
Bible Studies in his home
00:16:08.56\00:16:12.10
and he is working with
top Government officials
00:16:12.13\00:16:15.30
from Bolivia, so
this is how God is working
00:16:15.34\00:16:18.47
in wonderful,
wonderful, mighty ways.
00:16:18.51\00:16:20.38
And we have another
slide here of a lot of people
00:16:20.41\00:16:22.78
who've gotten
involved in the young people.
00:16:22.81\00:16:25.68
Yes, the young people
are on fire for the Lord,
00:16:25.71\00:16:28.55
they are the strong things
in the church in South America,
00:16:28.58\00:16:31.79
when you go to South America,
you see so many young people
00:16:31.82\00:16:34.99
in our churches... and
they are on fire for the Lord
00:16:35.02\00:16:37.73
and they are out developing
Home Bible Study Groups as well.
00:16:37.76\00:16:40.96
Now Barbara, you've been a
member of ASI for many years
00:16:41.00\00:16:44.33
and you are President of
the Mid-America ASI Chapter
00:16:44.37\00:16:47.70
and you've been a business woman
00:16:47.74\00:16:49.40
in marketing and
sales for many years
00:16:49.44\00:16:51.87
but how does this New Beginnings
DVD rank among all that you do?
00:16:51.94\00:16:56.95
It is the most
rewarding, most exciting,
00:16:56.98\00:17:00.25
most encouraging
program that I would encourage
00:17:00.32\00:17:03.39
every single one of you,
please go to our ASI Booth,
00:17:03.42\00:17:07.52
you can get a copy of this
DVD, New Beginnings Program,
00:17:07.56\00:17:11.63
it has 25 Bible Studies on it,
00:17:11.66\00:17:13.80
it has... in 30
different languages...
00:17:13.83\00:17:16.60
and we are developing
this for all over the world
00:17:16.63\00:17:19.83
and we are very, very successful
00:17:19.87\00:17:21.44
all over the world
and God is leading.
00:17:21.47\00:17:23.37
So let's see, by show
of hands if you're not
00:17:23.41\00:17:25.04
capable of doing
something like this.
00:17:25.07\00:17:27.04
Okay, that's unanimous...
00:17:27.08\00:17:28.78
so everybody will
be coming to the Booth.
00:17:28.81\00:17:30.45
Amen, God bless,
thank you so much.
00:17:30.48\00:17:31.81
So, my next guest is
Paul Opp and Leovina Perez
00:17:31.85\00:17:39.29
of the "People of
Peru Project" in Peru.
00:17:39.32\00:17:43.32
No, Paul, we want to find out
00:17:43.36\00:17:46.70
a little bit about the
People of Peru Project,
00:17:46.73\00:17:49.76
just give us a quick snapshot.
00:17:49.80\00:17:51.67
People of Peru Project has a
00:17:51.70\00:17:53.84
unique situation in that we
00:17:53.87\00:17:55.94
are located in the
largest city on earth
00:17:55.97\00:17:58.57
that has no
roads that lead to it
00:17:58.61\00:18:01.51
so you have to get
there by boat or by plane
00:18:01.54\00:18:03.38
it's a city of three
quarters of a million people
00:18:03.41\00:18:06.55
in the middle of
the Amazon jungle
00:18:06.58\00:18:08.65
at the head waters
of the Amazon River
00:18:08.68\00:18:10.72
and what we do there is
00:18:10.79\00:18:12.35
we have a Crisis Center
for abandoned and abused girls,
00:18:12.39\00:18:16.02
a free medical and dental clinic
00:18:16.06\00:18:17.53
and educational
programs that take young people
00:18:17.56\00:18:20.40
all the way through
the University Level.
00:18:20.43\00:18:22.26
And we have a short video
that shows a little bit about
00:18:22.30\00:18:26.60
the area because I
don't know how many people
00:18:26.63\00:18:28.34
have been to the
head waters of the Amazon
00:18:28.37\00:18:32.07
and really been able
to see where you're from
00:18:32.11\00:18:34.44
and doing your work
so hopefully we can have
00:18:34.48\00:18:37.68
that come up and
people can see... just exactly
00:18:37.71\00:18:40.88
where you're
doing your ministry.
00:18:40.92\00:18:43.72
Wow! that's
moving... and we have with us
00:20:44.27\00:20:48.98
Leovina Perez
and... tell us Leovina,
00:20:49.01\00:20:53.65
how is this scene that we
see here significant to you?
00:20:53.68\00:20:59.39
Good evening, everybody,
well, you guys saw this video
00:20:59.42\00:21:05.09
so I live in this place,
00:21:05.13\00:21:07.10
I live in a
forest area in Iquitos
00:21:07.13\00:21:09.16
and I'm really know how to feel
00:21:09.20\00:21:14.67
when you live in
this kind of condition,
00:21:14.70\00:21:16.81
how you need to work,
00:21:16.84\00:21:19.77
how you need to
support your family,
00:21:19.81\00:21:21.64
when you are like...
in this kind of life...
00:21:21.71\00:21:25.58
so, thanks to
People of Peru Project,
00:21:25.61\00:21:28.88
thanks to Mr. Paul
that I found 15 years ago,
00:21:28.92\00:21:33.12
this is a big change for
me, for me and my family,
00:21:33.15\00:21:38.69
and many people that love me.
00:21:38.73\00:21:40.86
And so you are... were taken
in by People of Peru Project
00:21:40.90\00:21:45.63
and you were sent to
school and funded into...
00:21:45.67\00:21:50.71
what kind of... University...
what did you learn...
00:21:50.74\00:21:54.11
a degree in at the University?
00:21:54.14\00:21:56.14
Right now, I'm...
I finished 2012...
00:21:56.18\00:21:59.21
I'm a Child Psychologist
00:21:59.28\00:22:02.78
and I've been helping
in the Organization...
00:22:02.82\00:22:06.02
in the Crisis
Center that we have,
00:22:06.05\00:22:07.79
you just saw a
little bit on that video.
00:22:07.82\00:22:09.66
So, yes, Leovina was
the person in the blue dress
00:22:09.69\00:22:12.73
and the blue
shirt... at the end there
00:22:12.76\00:22:14.66
and so she's helped
with the Crisis Center
00:22:14.70\00:22:18.37
where they have 15 children now
00:22:18.40\00:22:20.80
who were abused or
abandoned and they need a lot of
00:22:20.84\00:22:24.21
mental and physical
healing and there's one...
00:22:24.24\00:22:28.71
can you think of
one person who was in
00:22:28.74\00:22:33.18
a very difficult situation
00:22:33.21\00:22:35.02
that the People of
Peru Project helped?
00:22:35.05\00:22:37.89
There is one girl,
her name is Roxannie,
00:22:37.92\00:22:40.72
she came when
she was 13-years old,
00:22:40.76\00:22:43.69
she was... she
came from the jungle
00:22:43.73\00:22:47.06
and she came to work in
Iquitos... in the city...
00:22:47.10\00:22:50.40
and she got abused by the
people that she was living with,
00:22:50.43\00:22:54.20
so, the Court sent her to us and
right now, she is 22-years old,
00:22:54.24\00:23:00.78
almost finishing her Nursing,
she's going to be a nurse
00:23:00.81\00:23:07.82
in this year, I
think, so, we keep going...
00:23:07.85\00:23:13.59
we're doing a
lot of good things.
00:23:13.62\00:23:17.03
Yes, so she came to
you abused and abandoned
00:23:17.06\00:23:20.26
at age 13 and now she's 22
finishing her Nurse's degree
00:23:20.30\00:23:23.83
and Paul... if I
understand correctly
00:23:23.87\00:23:26.94
sponsoring a
young person like this
00:23:26.97\00:23:29.84
is about 200 dollars a month?
00:23:29.90\00:23:31.61
Depending on the
degree that they choose,
00:23:31.64\00:23:34.38
could be anywhere from
200 to 300 dollars a month
00:23:34.41\00:23:37.35
to put a kid
through the university
00:23:37.38\00:23:39.45
and absolutely
change their life.
00:23:39.48\00:23:41.45
And so are you able to
take everybody who comes to you?
00:23:41.48\00:23:44.82
Sadly, we have
requests that come in every week
00:23:44.85\00:23:48.12
to our Organization
and there's a drawer
00:23:48.16\00:23:50.13
that's getting more
and more requests for help
00:23:50.16\00:23:53.80
and we can only put
a kid in the University
00:23:53.83\00:23:56.93
when we have a sponsor.
00:23:56.97\00:23:58.30
So, you're looking for sponsors
00:23:58.33\00:23:59.90
and you have roughly how
many applicants in that drawer?
00:23:59.93\00:24:02.77
There are about a
hundred students right now.
00:24:02.80\00:24:05.81
Hundred children
waiting to be sponsored
00:24:05.84\00:24:07.18
and they're being pulled
out of the depths of poverty
00:24:07.21\00:24:10.98
and the garbage dump
and abandoned and abused
00:24:11.01\00:24:14.98
and they're
ready to go to School,
00:24:15.02\00:24:17.12
they're ready to be
sent to the university
00:24:17.15\00:24:19.29
and some of these
students are very bright
00:24:19.35\00:24:21.19
and... but there is sometimes...
00:24:21.22\00:24:24.09
you even have one
that's gone to Medical School.
00:24:24.13\00:24:26.63
We've graduated
several professionals,
00:24:26.66\00:24:29.06
a couple of
dentists, a lawyer, a teacher,
00:24:29.13\00:24:31.83
a child psychologist,
a mechanical engineer,
00:24:31.87\00:24:34.50
we've got some young people
that have done very, very well.
00:24:34.54\00:24:37.11
And this is more
costly, I would assume.
00:24:37.14\00:24:38.47
Yeah, it is more costly.
00:24:38.51\00:24:39.84
And so you have other
people even from Adventist homes
00:24:39.87\00:24:44.05
who need assistance.
00:24:44.08\00:24:45.71
Absolutely and
I'd just like to say
00:24:45.75\00:24:47.78
that Leovina is the
very first young person
00:24:47.82\00:24:50.12
that my wife and I met in Peru
00:24:50.19\00:24:52.22
and she started...
00:24:52.25\00:24:53.59
we met her when
she was 13-years old
00:24:53.62\00:24:54.96
and I just want to tell you
00:24:54.99\00:24:56.32
that Leovina is now
the Executive Director
00:24:56.36\00:24:58.59
of People of
Peru Project in Peru.
00:24:58.63\00:25:00.16
And you haven't done
this all your life, Paul,
00:25:00.20\00:25:02.46
you were here in the
Northwest doing what?
00:25:02.53\00:25:04.77
I owned a logging company.
00:25:04.83\00:25:06.17
Logging Company and working
00:25:06.20\00:25:07.54
in the automobile
industry a little bit
00:25:07.57\00:25:09.27
but now you've been with
00:25:09.30\00:25:11.31
People of Peru
Project for how long?
00:25:11.34\00:25:13.24
I went to Peru the
first time 15 years ago.
00:25:13.27\00:25:15.44
Fifteen years ago,
00:25:15.48\00:25:16.85
so here's a gentleman
who's been in ministry
00:25:16.88\00:25:19.28
and mission work
for fifteen years
00:25:19.31\00:25:22.18
and I know there are people
here who would love to sponsor
00:25:22.22\00:25:25.35
some of the students and
you can do that by visiting
00:25:25.39\00:25:28.89
Paul and Leovina at
their Booth, here at ASI,
00:25:28.92\00:25:33.13
or our Viewers can
go on: peopleofperu. org
00:25:33.16\00:25:37.07
and we'll continue
to pray for this project
00:25:37.10\00:25:39.80
and we know the Lord
will continue to bless.
00:25:39.83\00:25:42.47
Music... piano playing...
00:25:42.50\00:25:49.58
"The Weight of the Cross"
00:25:49.61\00:25:56.62
The crowd pressed in to see this
Man who stood condemned to die
00:25:56.65\00:26:02.82
A Man they once
proclaimed as King
00:26:02.86\00:26:06.09
they now would crucify,
00:26:06.13\00:26:09.06
They laid a cross upon His
back and pushed Him up the road,
00:26:09.10\00:26:16.14
The path would lead to Calvary,
He fell beneath the load
00:26:16.17\00:26:22.98
And as I watched I understood
the burden that He bore
00:26:23.01\00:26:29.55
Was more than just a heavy
tree the weight was so much more
00:26:29.58\00:26:39.43
The weight of the cross
00:26:39.46\00:26:44.97
was the weight of my sin
00:26:45.00\00:26:50.41
Not the weight of the tree
00:26:50.44\00:26:56.01
that was carried by Him
00:26:56.04\00:27:04.55
My guilt and disgrace
00:27:04.59\00:27:08.29
Jesus bore in my place
00:27:08.32\00:27:12.03
On Calvary's road
00:27:12.06\00:27:18.53
'neath the weight of the cross
00:27:18.57\00:27:24.87
Piano playing...
00:27:24.91\00:27:31.75
His face was
scarred His body bruised
00:27:31.78\00:27:34.78
His head was crowned with thorns
00:27:34.82\00:27:37.65
The crowd now
jeered and cursed His name
00:27:37.69\00:27:40.89
The object of their scorn
00:27:40.96\00:27:44.06
He never spoke a word to them
00:27:44.09\00:27:47.20
The silent lamb of God
00:27:47.23\00:27:50.50
This Man of
sorrow bore the cross
00:27:50.53\00:27:53.60
He chose to carry on
00:27:53.64\00:27:58.77
But somehow in His eyes I saw
00:27:58.81\00:28:02.48
A love beyond the pain
00:28:02.51\00:28:05.31
As if He knew His
sacrifice and loss
00:28:05.35\00:28:10.82
Would be my gain
00:28:10.85\00:28:15.56
The weight of the cross
00:28:15.59\00:28:20.73
was the weight of my sin
00:28:20.76\00:28:26.00
Not the weight of the tree
00:28:26.03\00:28:31.37
that was carried by Him
00:28:31.44\00:28:36.61
My guilt and disgrace
00:28:36.64\00:28:41.78
Jesus bore in my place
00:28:41.82\00:28:47.22
On Calvary's road
00:28:47.26\00:28:52.59
'neath the weight of the cross.
00:28:52.63\00:28:57.90
The weight of the cross
00:28:57.93\00:29:03.10
was the weight of my sin
00:29:03.14\00:29:08.04
Not the weight of the tree
00:29:08.08\00:29:13.18
that was carried by Him
00:29:13.21\00:29:20.69
My guilt and disgrace
00:29:20.72\00:29:24.63
Jesus bore in my place
00:29:24.66\00:29:28.50
On Calvary's road,
00:29:28.56\00:29:34.00
On Calvary's road..
00:29:34.04\00:29:39.37
On Calvary's road...
00:29:39.41\00:29:44.85
'neath the weight of the cross
00:29:44.88\00:29:51.75
On which the Prince
00:29:51.79\00:29:59.49
of glory died.
00:29:59.53\00:30:07.30
piano playing...
00:30:07.34\00:30:13.91
And what segment is this?
00:30:13.94\00:30:17.48
"Offering in Action"
00:30:17.55\00:30:21.62
I want to see if
you've been paying attention,
00:30:21.65\00:30:23.42
when you see me
you should be knowing
00:30:23.45\00:30:25.65
that we're going to be
talking about the projects
00:30:25.69\00:30:27.89
that we want to support
in the offering this weekend.
00:30:27.92\00:30:30.09
So I have another ministry
00:30:30.13\00:30:32.19
that we'd like to
share some information about.
00:30:32.23\00:30:34.50
GYC and we'll find out a little
bit more about what that means.
00:30:34.53\00:30:39.83
This is Moise Ratsara
00:30:39.87\00:30:42.57
and he is the President
Elect for the Organization
00:30:42.60\00:30:45.57
and Taylor Hinkle who is the
Vice President of Evangelism.
00:30:45.61\00:30:49.54
Moise, tell me,
00:30:49.58\00:30:50.98
how long have you been
involved with this Organization?
00:30:51.01\00:30:53.18
And what have you seen happen
00:30:53.21\00:30:55.28
during the time
you've been a part?
00:30:55.32\00:30:56.69
All right, well, I've
been with GYC, Debbie,
00:30:56.72\00:30:59.95
for the last eight years
00:30:59.99\00:31:01.36
and GYC is a
Movement of young people
00:31:01.39\00:31:05.56
wanting to finish the
work in this generation.
00:31:05.59\00:31:09.43
we're passionate about Christ
00:31:09.46\00:31:11.90
we're passionate
about His second coming
00:31:11.93\00:31:14.44
and we're passionate to
spread the Three Angels' message
00:31:14.47\00:31:18.04
at any cost,
00:31:18.07\00:31:19.74
you know, just in the last year
alone... through our Convention,
00:31:19.77\00:31:24.41
in a matter of
three days 90 young people
00:31:24.45\00:31:28.58
made decisions in
Phoenix to be baptized.
00:31:28.62\00:31:32.75
In Europe, that same year,
00:31:32.79\00:31:35.42
a 120 plus
young people in Europe
00:31:35.46\00:31:39.76
made decisions for
the Lord to be baptized.
00:31:39.79\00:31:42.63
Hundreds more made decisions
to give their lives full time
00:31:42.66\00:31:48.27
to Ministry... that is GYC.
00:31:48.30\00:31:51.34
So it's more than coming
for training and seminars
00:31:51.37\00:31:54.91
and camaraderie, it's...
00:31:54.94\00:31:56.95
it really is meant to...
really harness their attention
00:31:56.98\00:32:00.05
and get them to make
00:32:00.08\00:32:01.48
a life-changing
decision for Jesus.
00:32:01.52\00:32:03.85
Moise: Amen...
Debbie: That's wonderful.
00:32:03.89\00:32:05.22
Tell us some of the specific
things that have occurred
00:32:05.25\00:32:07.46
over the last few years,
00:32:07.49\00:32:09.19
now you said you were
involved for eight years,
00:32:09.22\00:32:11.29
you barely look like
you're eight-years old.
00:32:11.33\00:32:13.33
Debbie: So you are
25... Moise: I am 25...
00:32:13.40\00:32:16.13
so you've been
involved with the Organization
00:32:16.16\00:32:18.90
since you were
about 17? Moise: Yes.
00:32:18.93\00:32:20.84
Debbie: Praise God,
praise God, wonderful.
00:32:20.87\00:32:22.97
So now tell us
what's been going on.
00:32:23.00\00:32:25.57
Okay, well,
probably my friend, Taylor,
00:32:25.61\00:32:28.14
knows more about the
details since he's the
00:32:28.18\00:32:31.48
Vice President for
Evangelism but over the years,
00:32:31.51\00:32:35.28
from my
perspective, what has happened
00:32:35.32\00:32:38.02
is that it has
made young Adventists...
00:32:38.05\00:32:40.72
thousands of them,
00:32:40.76\00:32:42.09
excited to be
Seventh-day Adventists
00:32:42.12\00:32:44.66
and proud of the message that
we preach and hold as a church.
00:32:44.69\00:32:48.66
Amen, amen, so let's
get into some of the details
00:32:48.70\00:32:52.10
specific to the project
00:32:52.13\00:32:53.47
that will be funded
through this year's offering.
00:32:53.50\00:32:56.74
so Taylor, share with us what
that focus is for this year.
00:32:56.81\00:33:00.68
Absolutely, GYC has a
strong burden of supporting
00:33:00.71\00:33:03.48
the local church and the mission
of the General Conference
00:33:03.51\00:33:06.18
in North America Division
00:33:06.21\00:33:07.55
and in doing that, we
have a burden for evangelism
00:33:07.58\00:33:10.69
and growing the local church,
growing the areas where we go to
00:33:10.72\00:33:13.72
and so what we've been
doing is looking for ways...
00:33:13.76\00:33:16.56
how can we use the young people
that come to our Conference,
00:33:16.59\00:33:19.16
whether it's the 4,000 or 8,000
00:33:19.19\00:33:20.90
that are
attending on the weekends,
00:33:20.93\00:33:22.26
and get them involved in
evangelism projects there.
00:33:22.30\00:33:25.03
Last year in Phoenix we
decided that we needed to do
00:33:25.07\00:33:27.94
more... typically
evangelism was comprised of
00:33:27.97\00:33:30.74
a four-hour event on
Friday, but what we did was...
00:33:30.77\00:33:33.78
we actually had a five-day
pre-conference canvassing event,
00:33:33.81\00:33:36.78
we had 180 people come
00:33:36.81\00:33:38.58
and that was during
their Christmas Break
00:33:38.61\00:33:40.88
and the
students knocked on doors
00:33:40.92\00:33:43.28
eight hours a day in Phoenix
00:33:43.32\00:33:45.95
and by God's grace
00:33:45.99\00:33:47.32
we knocked on
over a 100,000 doors
00:33:47.36\00:33:48.99
and God was able
to do amazing things.
00:33:49.02\00:33:50.76
Now, on Friday, we
knocked on another 100,000 doors
00:33:50.79\00:33:53.36
so by the end of GYC,
00:33:53.40\00:33:54.96
we'd knocked on almost a
quarter of a million homes
00:33:55.00\00:33:56.97
and it was amazing to
see what had happened,
00:33:57.00\00:33:58.77
God was able to bring in
300 Bible Study interests
00:33:58.83\00:34:01.47
and we're working with
00:34:01.50\00:34:02.84
Northeast Evangelism
Training School... NETS...
00:34:02.87\00:34:04.64
and they provided some
training for the local churches
00:34:04.67\00:34:07.81
and local church
members were moving forward
00:34:07.84\00:34:10.61
and carrying out
those Bible Studies.
00:34:10.65\00:34:12.01
I'm still reeling from
the fact that young people
00:34:12.05\00:34:16.22
knocked on a
quarter of a million doors,
00:34:16.25\00:34:19.15
in a few days...
that's... that's incredible,
00:34:19.19\00:34:23.73
that's
incredible, now, I... I...
00:34:23.79\00:34:25.96
hear and I sense from
what you've shared, Moise,
00:34:25.99\00:34:28.63
that this is personally
convicting for the attendees,
00:34:28.66\00:34:34.80
can you share with us
an experience of how GYC
00:34:34.84\00:34:38.14
has impacted the life
of one of the attendees?
00:34:38.17\00:34:41.38
You know, GYC has had a
drastic impact in my own life,
00:34:41.41\00:34:44.51
I attended GYC for the first
time when I was 16-years old
00:34:44.55\00:34:47.65
and I was raised as
a Seventh-day Adventist
00:34:47.68\00:34:49.58
and I've gone to many youth
events and things like that
00:34:49.62\00:34:51.75
but during the
time that I went to GYC,
00:34:51.79\00:34:53.76
I was a nominal
Seventh-day Adventist,
00:34:53.79\00:34:55.42
I would even go on mission
trips and things like that
00:34:55.46\00:34:58.26
then I would go
home and get involved
00:34:58.29\00:34:59.73
in things I
shouldn't be involved in
00:34:59.76\00:35:01.10
and I remember going
to GYC for the first time
00:35:01.13\00:35:03.80
and I looked at the people
00:35:03.83\00:35:05.17
and they were really weird,
00:35:05.20\00:35:06.53
I mean, they dressed a
little differently than I did,
00:35:06.57\00:35:08.10
they had religious
words that I didn't even know,
00:35:08.14\00:35:10.17
I wasn't familiar
with and they just...
00:35:10.21\00:35:12.47
it was almost over my head
and it seemed out of my reach
00:35:12.51\00:35:15.54
but I remember thinking it
was such an attractive thing
00:35:15.58\00:35:18.58
because for the
first time in my life
00:35:18.61\00:35:20.15
I realized that
there were dedicated
00:35:20.18\00:35:21.95
Seventh-day
Adventist young people
00:35:21.98\00:35:23.72
who loved the Lord and loved
the message of this church,
00:35:23.75\00:35:26.55
so, I didn't make
any decisions there,
00:35:26.59\00:35:28.52
appeals were
made... things like that...
00:35:28.56\00:35:29.89
I didn't go forward but
I came back the next year
00:35:29.92\00:35:32.06
and by God's grace, you know,
00:35:32.09\00:35:33.53
Randy Skeete was
preaching that evening,
00:35:33.60\00:35:35.43
and he made a call for...
00:35:35.46\00:35:37.00
"How many of you sense
that the Lord is leading you
00:35:37.03\00:35:38.83
to: 1. break up
with your girlfriend?
00:35:38.87\00:35:40.27
And I... that kind
of hit home to me...
00:35:40.30\00:35:41.64
and Number 2: to
dedicate a year of your life
00:35:41.67\00:35:45.31
to evangelism and go to
Evangelism Training School.
00:35:45.34\00:35:47.68
And I remember going
forward for the appeal
00:35:47.71\00:35:49.58
and my girlfriend happened to be
sitting next to me at that time,
00:35:49.61\00:35:53.01
but what was amazing
00:35:53.05\00:35:54.38
is that the Lord
worked in such a powerful way
00:35:54.42\00:35:56.32
that I knew that I
couldn't stay in this condition
00:35:56.35\00:35:58.25
of just being content and
entertained in the church,
00:35:58.29\00:36:00.66
but I really needed to
dedicate my life to His service
00:36:00.69\00:36:03.16
and so, I went to Amazing
Facts Center of Evangelism
00:36:03.22\00:36:05.63
and God worked in powerful
ways in transforming my own life
00:36:05.66\00:36:08.16
and I realized the
joy of service in the Lord
00:36:08.20\00:36:10.90
and that's what I do at
GYC... we have such a burden
00:36:10.93\00:36:13.07
to have young
people who love Jesus
00:36:13.13\00:36:15.57
to draw closer to Him
00:36:15.60\00:36:17.37
and also to dedicate
their lives to service for Him.
00:36:17.41\00:36:20.41
Amen, so, Moise,
wouldn't you say that this is
00:36:20.44\00:36:23.04
why it's really
important for our ASI family
00:36:23.11\00:36:25.65
to consider very carefully that
we want to sacrifice to give
00:36:25.68\00:36:29.72
ministries like GYC
00:36:29.75\00:36:31.12
funding to support the
efforts that are being planned?
00:36:31.15\00:36:33.76
You know, Debbie,
it's more than just money
00:36:33.79\00:36:36.62
because when you invest in GYC,
00:36:36.66\00:36:39.79
you're really
investing into the future
00:36:39.83\00:36:43.10
of the Adventist Church
00:36:43.13\00:36:44.63
and if we believe
in the young people,
00:36:44.70\00:36:48.44
not only... don't
only give your money,
00:36:48.47\00:36:52.17
but give your presence,
00:36:52.24\00:36:54.01
they say: the most
meaningful relationships
00:36:54.04\00:36:57.25
for Millennials is
inter-generational relationships
00:36:57.28\00:37:01.65
if you ask a
young person, you say,
00:37:01.68\00:37:03.89
"Who are the people
that impacted your life?"
00:37:03.92\00:37:05.89
They're less likely to say,
00:37:05.95\00:37:08.66
"Well, you know, 'My friend,'"
00:37:08.69\00:37:11.63
but they are more likely
to say my grandma, my grandpa,
00:37:11.66\00:37:16.26
the pastor, the
teacher, my coach,
00:37:16.30\00:37:19.83
and that is why we
need each other in this work
00:37:19.87\00:37:23.00
because we believe
that Jesus is coming soon
00:37:23.07\00:37:26.17
and we want to
hasten His coming.
00:37:26.21\00:37:28.28
Amen, Moise and
Taylor, God bless you,
00:37:28.31\00:37:30.05
and we thank you for
your commitment to GYC.
00:37:30.08\00:37:32.15
Thank you so much.
00:37:32.21\00:37:33.55
Next... for our
00:37:33.58\00:37:36.99
Offering in Action Segment,
00:37:37.02\00:37:38.82
is a project that
is dear to my heart
00:37:38.85\00:37:41.62
because I'm a Registered Nurse
00:37:41.66\00:37:42.99
and this has to
do with the Weimar,
00:37:43.02\00:37:44.93
what I would call
the School of Nursing,
00:37:44.96\00:37:46.70
thinking back in my
history of how we would term
00:37:46.73\00:37:50.50
this Institution
but this is actually
00:37:50.53\00:37:53.34
something a
little bit different,
00:37:53.37\00:37:56.14
you actually call it "Win"
and with me is Neil Nedley,
00:37:56.17\00:38:00.54
he's the President for Weimar
00:38:00.58\00:38:02.54
and Lenora Follet who
is the Director of Nursing,
00:38:02.58\00:38:07.52
and Randy Bivens who's
the Chief Operating Officer.
00:38:07.55\00:38:12.49
Thank you for coming so that you
can share with us a little bit
00:38:12.52\00:38:15.26
more about this
exciting project.
00:38:15.32\00:38:16.66
So, what is WIN?
00:38:16.69\00:38:18.03
Weimar Institute of Nursing.
00:38:18.06\00:38:21.00
Debbie: Ah...
okay... okay, excellent.
00:38:21.03\00:38:23.00
Neil: That's what it stands for.
00:38:23.03\00:38:24.37
And how did the idea of
WIN get started at Weimar?
00:38:24.40\00:38:27.90
Well, Weimar is a...
of course, a Sanitarium,
00:38:27.94\00:38:31.34
it's a Lifestyle Center,
00:38:31.37\00:38:32.97
we've been doing health and
healing there for many years
00:38:33.01\00:38:35.51
and it's also an
educational institution
00:38:35.54\00:38:38.55
and as we began
to study the counsel
00:38:38.58\00:38:41.52
from the Spirit of Prophecy,
it's very clear that she wanted
00:38:41.58\00:38:44.52
nurses trained at places
where there were Sanitariums
00:38:44.55\00:38:49.29
and in fact she said,
"Our nurses are to go out
00:38:49.32\00:38:52.69
as Medical
Evangelists teaching the Word
00:38:52.73\00:38:56.60
as well as physical healing"
00:38:56.63\00:38:58.93
and so the gospel in
Medical Missionary work
00:38:58.97\00:39:02.00
were to be combined
00:39:02.04\00:39:03.37
and you know when
we looked at Madison,
00:39:03.41\00:39:05.21
they had a Nursing Program
and graduated a lot of nurses
00:39:05.24\00:39:08.88
and it seemed right
00:39:08.91\00:39:10.31
that for what we were
doing at Weimar it was time...
00:39:10.35\00:39:13.21
with our Pre-Med
Program that we had in place
00:39:13.25\00:39:15.25
and all of those Sciences
00:39:15.28\00:39:16.62
to then go into a
potential for a Nursing Program.
00:39:16.65\00:39:20.86
Now, I understand Randy
that it was very evident
00:39:20.89\00:39:25.13
that God was
leading in this process
00:39:25.16\00:39:28.36
when you went
before... like a Board...
00:39:28.40\00:39:31.57
can you share a little
bit of that experience?
00:39:31.60\00:39:33.67
Yeah, the Board
of Registered Nurses,
00:39:33.70\00:39:35.40
there's a
committee called the ELC...
00:39:35.44\00:39:37.21
the Educational
Licensing Committee
00:39:37.24\00:39:38.87
and we had to go before that
Board before the whole BRN...
00:39:38.91\00:39:42.68
the Board of Registered
Nurses would actually meet,
00:39:42.71\00:39:44.51
grant and approve our program
00:39:44.55\00:39:46.05
and... it's kind of
a Disciplinary Board
00:39:46.08\00:39:49.48
in addition to a Licensing Board
00:39:49.52\00:39:51.32
and most of what they
were doing was discipline
00:39:51.35\00:39:53.56
and there was a Board...
00:39:53.59\00:39:55.26
actually a Nursing
Program in Sacramento
00:39:55.29\00:39:57.36
who had lost their affiliation
with the local hospital
00:39:57.43\00:40:00.23
and they were going to affiliate
with a hospital sixty miles away
00:40:00.26\00:40:03.26
and the Chairman
of this Committee
00:40:03.30\00:40:05.40
was just chewing them up,
00:40:05.43\00:40:06.77
I mean, I'm
thinking... and he was saying,
00:40:06.80\00:40:08.27
"You're going to
have them drive...
00:40:08.30\00:40:10.27
and increase
their time on the road"
00:40:10.31\00:40:11.94
and all those things
and we're over there saying,
00:40:11.97\00:40:15.11
"Wow! we have clinical
sites all over the map... "
00:40:15.14\00:40:18.31
we have Loma Linda
which is like 350 miles away,
00:40:18.35\00:40:21.42
he's going to chew us up
and spit us out, were toast,
00:40:21.48\00:40:25.15
when he got to us he said,
00:40:25.19\00:40:28.32
"What are you going to do about
transporting these nurses?"
00:40:28.36\00:40:30.63
And Dr. Shirley
Anderson who was there with us
00:40:30.66\00:40:33.29
and was very instrumental
in getting this program,
00:40:33.33\00:40:35.90
she said, "Well,
Dr. Bivens is here
00:40:35.93\00:40:37.73
and he's our
Chief Operating Officer
00:40:37.77\00:40:39.53
why don't you ask
him if he's going to pay
00:40:39.57\00:40:42.10
to have those
nurses moved" and I said,
00:40:42.14\00:40:44.64
"Well, okay, yeah,
we're going to transport them"
00:40:44.67\00:40:48.44
and he said, "Great, why didn't
that other School say that?"
00:40:48.48\00:40:51.61
We went up
afterward, we spoke to him,
00:40:51.65\00:40:54.72
Dr. Sebo and I
talked to him and he said,
00:40:54.75\00:40:57.65
"I know you Adventists... "
00:40:57.69\00:40:59.72
he goes, "my uncle was a
teacher at Oakwood College,"
00:40:59.75\00:41:04.06
God had gone before us.
00:41:04.13\00:41:07.33
Amen, amen and Lenora Follet,
you've been an Administrator
00:41:07.36\00:41:13.34
in... a high-level
Administrator for many years
00:41:13.40\00:41:18.17
in various Institutions
overseeing Nursing Programs
00:41:18.21\00:41:22.88
but you had such excitement
when we were talking in the back
00:41:22.94\00:41:26.41
about this particular program,
00:41:26.45\00:41:28.48
why is this
especially significant for you?
00:41:28.52\00:41:31.32
When I took nursing,
it was at Loma Linda...
00:41:31.35\00:41:34.09
at the time... when
they were doing hydrotherapy,
00:41:34.12\00:41:37.33
and massage and I
remember Dr. Butterfield
00:41:37.36\00:41:40.16
there at Loma
Linda University Hospital
00:41:40.20\00:41:42.93
ordered a lot of
fomentations for his patients
00:41:42.96\00:41:46.57
after surgery and
some of them really didn't
00:41:46.60\00:41:50.17
want it at first,
00:41:50.21\00:41:51.54
but when they
had the fomentations,
00:41:51.57\00:41:53.68
they said, "That really helped"
00:41:53.71\00:41:55.94
and then, I always wished
that I could work in a place
00:41:55.98\00:42:02.48
where I could do that
again as I moved around
00:42:02.52\00:42:05.19
and when I was
in Nursing Schools,
00:42:05.22\00:42:07.26
I kept wishing that
we could incorporate
00:42:07.29\00:42:10.46
those natural remedies
into our Nursing Program
00:42:10.53\00:42:13.96
and now I'm at my dream job
00:42:14.00\00:42:17.57
because that's just
what they want us to do
00:42:17.60\00:42:20.94
at Weimar and the
Board has approved
00:42:20.97\00:42:23.71
our classes in learning
that and we're just so...
00:42:23.77\00:42:27.11
I'm so thankful
that I can work there,
00:42:27.14\00:42:30.65
I'm very thankful.
00:42:30.68\00:42:32.01
I told them, it feels like,
I want to go to school again
00:42:32.05\00:42:34.12
and they invited me to come back
00:42:34.15\00:42:36.38
but I said, "I
think I'm done... "
00:42:36.42\00:42:38.62
so... so that's good,
so coming full circle now
00:42:38.65\00:42:41.52
back Neil to
what you were saying
00:42:41.56\00:42:44.06
that we want to follow the
counsel that has been given,
00:42:44.09\00:42:47.76
that nurses should be
trained as medical evangelists.
00:42:47.80\00:42:50.97
You know, interestingly,
when we were submitting our
00:42:51.00\00:42:54.24
material, we were very overt
00:42:54.27\00:42:56.17
that we were going to
be training our nurses
00:42:56.20\00:42:59.74
as Evangelists as
well as in health education
00:42:59.77\00:43:03.28
and Dr. Andersen
reminded me today
00:43:03.31\00:43:06.51
of how when we
presented these health classes,
00:43:06.58\00:43:09.92
the Nursing Board
Liaison was looking
00:43:09.95\00:43:12.32
and saying, "So,
how does this fit in,
00:43:12.35\00:43:14.66
it's not under OB,
it's not under Med-Surg,"
00:43:14.69\00:43:17.73
she was trying to find
out how this all fits in
00:43:17.76\00:43:20.76
and finally when they realized
00:43:20.80\00:43:23.70
that our nurses were
actually going to be putting on
00:43:23.73\00:43:25.77
Depression and
Anxiety Recovery Programs
00:43:25.80\00:43:28.14
and CHIP Programs as
part of their training,
00:43:28.17\00:43:30.47
she looked and she said,
00:43:30.51\00:43:32.14
"This isn't public
health... this is total health"
00:43:32.17\00:43:35.54
and with the
evangelism component,
00:43:35.58\00:43:39.81
she says, "You know what?
00:43:39.85\00:43:41.18
This is a
different nursing program"
00:43:41.22\00:43:42.78
she says, "we pride
ourselves in California
00:43:42.82\00:43:46.25
as being
Alternative Medicine State,
00:43:46.29\00:43:49.29
but we need an alternative
medicine nursing program
00:43:49.32\00:43:52.76
and you'll be
the very first one. "
00:43:52.79\00:43:54.73
Audience
clapping... Debbie: Amen...
00:43:54.76\00:43:58.60
And it turns out... we're the
first one in the entire Country.
00:43:58.63\00:44:01.80
Say that again,
did everyone hear that?
00:44:01.84\00:44:03.81
We're the first alternative
medicine nursing program
00:44:03.84\00:44:06.71
in the entire Country,
00:44:06.74\00:44:08.21
Debbie: Amen, amen...
00:44:08.24\00:44:09.64
Neil: and it's
one that, of course,
00:44:09.68\00:44:11.45
they'll sit for the Boards
00:44:11.48\00:44:13.01
but they'll also come
out as health educators
00:44:13.05\00:44:15.75
and they'll be
also teaching the Word
00:44:15.78\00:44:18.19
in combination
with physical healing.
00:44:18.22\00:44:20.56
Praise God, praise
God, thank you very much
00:44:20.59\00:44:22.72
for sharing with us about
the Weimar Institute of Nursing,
00:44:22.79\00:44:27.13
our last
Offering in Action Project
00:44:27.20\00:44:31.03
is one that you will
not find in your booklet,
00:44:31.07\00:44:33.74
it is one that we have added
00:44:33.77\00:44:35.74
because it's of
special significance
00:44:35.77\00:44:38.07
with all that
has been in the media
00:44:38.11\00:44:40.38
and all the debates about
Creation versus Evolution,
00:44:40.41\00:44:43.81
we have felt that it's
extremely important for us
00:44:43.85\00:44:46.98
to under-gird the
efforts that are being made
00:44:47.02\00:44:50.59
to strengthen the
Biblical Creation Story,
00:44:50.62\00:44:54.16
particularly in our curriculum
00:44:54.19\00:44:56.42
that we are providing to educate
our children at every level.
00:44:56.46\00:45:00.20
So, this particular
project which we have termed
00:45:00.23\00:45:02.90
"The Creation
Project" is one that is for...
00:45:02.93\00:45:05.57
we're requesting 40,000 dollars
00:45:05.60\00:45:09.00
to provide the
support to continue this work.
00:45:09.04\00:45:11.97
With me is Ed Zinke,
00:45:12.01\00:45:13.68
he's retired
from Biblical Research
00:45:13.71\00:45:15.44
and has his hands in a
number of different areas
00:45:15.51\00:45:18.28
but we're happy to have him here
00:45:18.31\00:45:20.05
and Larry Blackmer
who is the Vice President
00:45:20.08\00:45:22.85
for North American
Division Education.
00:45:22.88\00:45:25.15
So they're going to
share with us a little bit
00:45:25.19\00:45:27.22
about what two schools are doing
00:45:27.26\00:45:31.06
in this particular
line of work, Ed...
00:45:31.09\00:45:34.23
Yes, thank you very much
indeed Creation is extremely
00:45:34.26\00:45:39.03
important to us as a
church not just Creation...
00:45:39.07\00:45:43.20
but Biblical Creation.
00:45:43.24\00:45:45.41
In 1980, the
church revised a statement
00:45:45.44\00:45:49.94
of belief and revised
the statement on Creation,
00:45:49.98\00:45:53.42
there seemed like the
statement was clear enough,
00:45:53.45\00:45:57.52
that Creation took
place in six actual days...
00:45:57.55\00:46:01.59
a short period of time ago...
00:46:01.62\00:46:04.13
but many individuals...
00:46:04.19\00:46:07.13
some individuals have
re-interpreted that statement
00:46:07.16\00:46:10.17
to mean that God created over
millions and millions of years
00:46:10.20\00:46:14.90
and each day
represented millions of years
00:46:14.94\00:46:18.24
and so some felt
that it was necessary
00:46:18.27\00:46:21.98
to tighten that
statement up and in 2010
00:46:22.01\00:46:25.61
at the General Conference
Session there was a request
00:46:25.65\00:46:28.05
for a study to
be made to that...
00:46:28.08\00:46:29.98
that was brought back to
the General Conference Session
00:46:30.02\00:46:33.99
this last time and the
statement was clarified
00:46:34.02\00:46:36.93
and it would be very difficult
to read anything other than
00:46:36.99\00:46:40.86
six actual days... seven...
when you include the Sabbath
00:46:40.90\00:46:45.30
seven days more or
less like our week,
00:46:45.33\00:46:48.10
the other thing that some
individuals that felt that
00:46:48.14\00:46:52.44
worldwide flood which
was in our 1980 statement
00:46:52.47\00:46:56.44
meant that the
"then-known world"
00:46:56.51\00:46:59.48
and so it didn't
mean the whole world,
00:46:59.51\00:47:01.48
it just meant that
there was a big flood
00:47:01.52\00:47:03.39
and so that also was changed at
the General Conference Session
00:47:03.42\00:47:07.22
to mean... to
say... "Global Flood"
00:47:07.26\00:47:11.06
rather than world-wide flood.
00:47:11.09\00:47:14.13
Now, several institutions...
educational institutions
00:47:14.20\00:47:19.77
within the church are
00:47:19.80\00:47:21.70
taking very seriously
the doctrine of Creation
00:47:21.74\00:47:25.94
and they have
done extensive study
00:47:25.97\00:47:29.44
in Geology and
Biology and other areas
00:47:29.48\00:47:32.85
supporting the
Biblical account of Creation,
00:47:32.88\00:47:37.32
one of those is
Southern Adventist University
00:47:37.35\00:47:41.69
also Southwestern
Adventist University
00:47:41.72\00:47:44.23
and at the Earth and Biological
Sciences Program at Loma Linda
00:47:44.26\00:47:48.83
is the only place in the world
00:47:48.86\00:47:52.23
in which you can get a
Ph. D. in Geology or Biology
00:47:52.30\00:47:56.67
from a Biblical perspective.
00:47:56.71\00:47:58.71
Now we are
supporting two of those programs
00:47:58.74\00:48:01.31
at this ASI Convention
00:48:01.34\00:48:04.51
and Larry will tell us about
Southern Adventist University
00:48:04.55\00:48:07.98
and then I'll tell
you about Southwestern.
00:48:08.02\00:48:13.05
Why is Creation
important to the Church?
00:48:13.09\00:48:18.69
In 2014, the
Gallup Poll did a survey
00:48:18.73\00:48:24.27
of the general population
and they found out that
00:48:24.30\00:48:28.37
42 percent said
they were Creationists
00:48:28.40\00:48:31.14
and that 31 percent said
they were Theistic Evolutionists
00:48:31.17\00:48:36.14
and only 19 percent said they
were straight out Evolutionists.
00:48:36.18\00:48:41.25
The difficulty is,
"What is a Creationist?"
00:48:41.28\00:48:45.62
in defining what a
Creationist really is
00:48:45.65\00:48:49.39
because many people
say they're Creationists
00:48:49.42\00:48:53.09
but they believe
in "millions of years"
00:48:53.13\00:48:55.46
through that process
00:48:55.50\00:48:56.83
and so, it's been
our goal in the church
00:48:56.87\00:49:00.97
through the educational system,
00:49:01.00\00:49:02.67
through higher education
to make sure that we present
00:49:02.70\00:49:07.71
a Biblical
foundation to Creationism.
00:49:07.74\00:49:11.91
The... there was a
survey done recently
00:49:11.95\00:49:15.75
by the Pugh Group
and they found out that
00:49:15.78\00:49:19.55
in the Adventist
Church, 47 percent
00:49:19.59\00:49:22.76
believed that the
Seventh-day Adventist Church
00:49:22.79\00:49:25.63
is anti-Science,
00:49:25.69\00:49:28.20
are we anti-Science?
00:49:28.23\00:49:30.43
We're not!
00:49:30.47\00:49:31.80
but we have somehow
convinced our young people
00:49:31.83\00:49:35.50
that the Adventist Church
does not believe in Science.
00:49:35.54\00:49:38.17
We believe in the
Church and in our Institutions
00:49:38.21\00:49:43.38
that there is real
good Science behind Creation
00:49:43.41\00:49:48.55
and so we're trying to find ways
00:49:48.58\00:49:50.89
to make sure that happens.
00:49:50.95\00:49:52.62
The Biblical account...
00:49:52.65\00:49:54.26
Creation is all the way
through the Biblical account.
00:49:54.29\00:49:57.19
It's in the Old Testament,
00:49:57.23\00:49:59.16
it's mentioned by every
single New Testament Writer
00:49:59.19\00:50:03.37
and Creation is actually talked
about... by Jesus Himself.
00:50:03.40\00:50:07.47
So it is an important issue.
00:50:07.54\00:50:09.20
Creation is closely
tied to... and I have here...
00:50:09.24\00:50:13.21
15 different doctrines of
the Seventh-day Adventist Church
00:50:13.24\00:50:18.81
in which
Creation is directly tied.
00:50:18.85\00:50:22.58
Creation is
fundamental to our Church.
00:50:22.62\00:50:26.82
Last year, I
stood up on the platform
00:50:26.86\00:50:30.99
and told you about our new
by design... Science curriculum,
00:50:31.03\00:50:36.30
Grades one through
eight developed distinctly by
00:50:36.33\00:50:39.53
Seventh-day Adventists
00:50:39.57\00:50:40.90
for Seventh-day
Adventist Schools
00:50:40.94\00:50:42.84
based on a
Biblical account of Creation
00:50:42.90\00:50:46.07
and it's a North
America Division Initiative,
00:50:46.11\00:50:50.41
it's both Health
and Science combined.
00:50:50.45\00:50:52.95
We have also now through
Southern Adventist University
00:50:52.98\00:50:59.12
and their local project...
created a lot of other resources
00:50:59.15\00:51:04.66
these resources could be
used by design separately
00:51:04.69\00:51:08.93
through the School System,
00:51:08.96\00:51:10.30
they can be used by
home schooling families,
00:51:10.37\00:51:12.57
by Christian families
00:51:12.60\00:51:13.94
whose kids are in...
00:51:13.97\00:51:15.30
whose students
are in public school
00:51:15.34\00:51:17.31
and by Lay Persons of all ages
00:51:17.34\00:51:19.97
and it's available online free.
00:51:20.01\00:51:22.61
There are many other projects
we have in the pipeline.
00:51:22.64\00:51:26.45
We're actually...
Dr. Tim Standish is the
00:51:26.48\00:51:29.82
Editor of our new
Ninth Grade Biology textbook,
00:51:29.88\00:51:34.32
that we're now going to
have the Life Science Series
00:51:34.36\00:51:38.33
totally developed by
Seventh-day Adventists
00:51:38.39\00:51:41.16
for our Schools.
00:51:41.23\00:51:42.56
We are creating a set of videos
about Adventist Scientists.
00:51:42.60\00:51:47.20
Science is alive and
well in the Adventist Church
00:51:47.24\00:51:51.47
and we have world
renowned Scientists
00:51:51.51\00:51:55.04
that belong to our Church.
00:51:55.08\00:51:56.68
We're developing dinosaur
videos and interactives,
00:51:56.71\00:52:00.45
we're designing a
College-level "Origins" class
00:52:00.48\00:52:04.19
with Faith and Science in
Southern Adventist University
00:52:04.22\00:52:08.02
and we have a Chemistry
Professor at Andrews University
00:52:08.06\00:52:12.56
who's working on materials
about Design in Chemistry.
00:52:12.59\00:52:17.10
We're developing
interactives and simulations
00:52:17.13\00:52:21.40
that can go along
with "By Design. "
00:52:21.44\00:52:23.91
We're working through a
number of our universities
00:52:23.94\00:52:27.78
in a collaborative project
00:52:27.81\00:52:29.14
and so, what we're trying to do
00:52:29.18\00:52:32.78
is we're trying
to create resources
00:52:32.81\00:52:34.75
on multiple topics,
on Origins, on World View
00:52:34.78\00:52:38.05
and Biblical Foundations.
00:52:38.12\00:52:39.95
We're working at the
Elementary, the Secondary
00:52:39.99\00:52:42.92
and the College level and
we're developing partnerships.
00:52:42.99\00:52:46.53
We have a delivery system
00:52:46.56\00:52:50.40
called: the
Adventist Learning Community
00:52:50.43\00:52:52.33
adventistlearningcommunity. com
00:52:52.37\00:52:54.74
and all of these
resources will be available
00:52:54.80\00:52:58.17
at no cost to everyone.
00:52:58.24\00:53:00.51
We want our
resources used in the Church.
00:53:00.58\00:53:04.51
How could you help?
00:53:04.55\00:53:06.41
You can encourage
Conference Administrators,
00:53:06.45\00:53:09.85
local teachers and pastors
to become interested in Origins.
00:53:09.88\00:53:14.42
You should sponsor
"Origin" Education Events
00:53:14.46\00:53:17.73
for Administrators,
Teachers and Pastors
00:53:17.79\00:53:21.33
and you can sponsor
events at our Academies,
00:53:21.36\00:53:24.87
our Colleges at
the local church level.
00:53:24.90\00:53:27.57
You can donate to Organizations
00:53:27.60\00:53:29.90
that promote Creation
from a Scientific worldview,
00:53:29.94\00:53:33.58
Faith and Science, the
Origin Center at Southern...
00:53:33.61\00:53:37.35
the program at Southwestern
Adventist University
00:53:37.38\00:53:41.05
and Geoscience.
00:53:41.08\00:53:42.42
On Sabbath, part of the offering
00:53:42.45\00:53:45.45
will go to support
additional resources
00:53:45.52\00:53:48.69
that will be
available to our young people.
00:53:48.72\00:53:51.29
Debbie: Amen amen.
00:53:51.33\00:53:52.66
We have just a short
period left here but if we could
00:53:52.69\00:53:56.10
bring up the
slides of the Hanson Ranch
00:53:56.13\00:53:58.70
that's terrific...
this is a project of
00:53:58.73\00:54:01.30
Southwestern
Adventist University
00:54:01.34\00:54:03.41
every summer they
go to a Dino dig...
00:54:03.44\00:54:06.31
thank you for advancing that,
00:54:06.34\00:54:08.08
that's the Hanson Ranch there.
00:54:08.11\00:54:09.78
Fifteen years ago,
Mr. Hanson wanted the...
00:54:09.81\00:54:14.12
wanted the... bones
that were on his ranch
00:54:14.15\00:54:18.42
to be studied by Geologists.
00:54:18.45\00:54:20.06
There are a number
of dinosaur bones there
00:54:20.09\00:54:23.56
and he contacted the Scientists
00:54:23.59\00:54:25.59
who came out and looked at it
00:54:25.66\00:54:27.26
and he told the Scientists,
00:54:27.30\00:54:29.16
"I don't care what you
teach about Theistic Evolution
00:54:29.20\00:54:32.17
or any kind of Evolution
but you have to teach Creation"
00:54:32.20\00:54:35.14
and... so this Scientist
stormed off... enraged,
00:54:35.20\00:54:38.97
he left some graffiti
on the barn that said,
00:54:39.01\00:54:42.74
"Science will never
again be done on this ranch. "
00:54:42.81\00:54:45.95
Mr. Hanson
contacted Art Chadwick
00:54:45.98\00:54:49.58
who is one of the
foremost geologists
00:54:49.62\00:54:53.05
and Art Chadwick
came to that Ranch,
00:54:53.09\00:54:56.42
we won't have time to
go through the details
00:54:56.46\00:54:58.43
but he developed latest
methods for doing Geology
00:54:58.46\00:55:03.90
when the GSA... the National
Profession of Geologists,
00:55:03.93\00:55:08.20
when they have their meetings,
they asked him to present
00:55:08.24\00:55:12.47
the presentation on
latest methods for Geology
00:55:12.54\00:55:15.84
and actually...
many years in a row...
00:55:15.91\00:55:20.52
and so Art has the opportunity
of working with students
00:55:20.55\00:55:24.69
and we're going
to have that picture
00:55:24.72\00:55:26.15
I hope, before our time runs out
00:55:26.22\00:55:27.66
with students who
have the opportunity of
00:55:27.69\00:55:31.53
digging there every summer
00:55:31.56\00:55:32.89
and hearing his lectures
on Creationism and Geology...
00:55:32.93\00:55:36.53
it's a wonderful
blessing to those students
00:55:36.56\00:55:38.87
and to our Church.
00:55:38.90\00:55:40.24
Thank you very much,
00:55:40.27\00:55:42.17
we really
appreciate what you're doing
00:55:42.20\00:55:44.21
to keep the Creation
story alive and accurate.
00:55:44.24\00:55:47.21
Both: Thank you very
much. Debbie: Thank you.
00:55:47.24\00:55:49.28
At this time we would
like you to listen to the
00:55:49.31\00:55:54.18
piano instrumental that
will precede our closing prayer.
00:55:54.22\00:55:57.52
Piano playing
00:55:57.55\00:56:03.93
Piano playing...
00:56:03.96\00:56:10.30
Live out Thy life within me...
00:56:10.33\00:56:16.71
Oh Jesus King of Kings.
00:56:16.77\00:56:22.34
Be Thou Thyself the answer
00:56:22.38\00:56:27.98
to all my questionings;
00:56:28.02\00:56:33.15
Live out Thy life within me,
00:56:33.19\00:56:38.83
in all things have Thy way!
00:56:38.86\00:56:44.60
I, the transparent medium,
00:56:44.63\00:56:50.34
Thy glory to display.
00:56:50.37\00:56:58.55
Look upon Jesus,
00:56:58.58\00:57:04.12
sinless is He;
00:57:04.15\00:57:09.62
Father, impute His life unto me.
00:57:09.66\00:57:15.60
My life of
scarlet, my sin and woe,
00:57:15.66\00:57:21.67
Cover with His
life, whiter than snow.
00:57:21.70\00:57:27.38
Cover with His
life whiter than snow;
00:57:27.41\00:57:33.11
Fullness of His
life then shall I know;
00:57:33.15\00:57:38.92
My life of
scarlet, my sin and woe,
00:57:38.95\00:57:44.89
Cover with His
life, whiter than snow.
00:57:44.93\00:57:50.77
Take my life,
00:57:50.83\00:57:54.17
and let it be
00:57:54.20\00:57:57.47
consecrated Lord, to Thee;
00:57:57.51\00:58:02.41
Take my hands, and let them move
00:58:02.44\00:58:07.62
At the impulse of Thy love,
00:58:07.65\00:58:12.95
At the impulse of Thy love.
00:58:12.99\00:58:17.66
Take my feet, and let them be
00:58:17.69\00:58:23.03
Swift and beautiful for Thee;
00:58:23.06\00:58:28.70
Take my voice, and let me sing
00:58:28.74\00:58:34.38
Always, only, for my King,
00:58:34.41\00:58:41.05
Always, only, for my King.
00:58:41.08\00:58:46.99
Live out Thy life within me,
00:58:47.06\00:58:52.36
in all things have Thy way!
00:58:52.39\00:58:57.63
I, the transparent
medium, Thy glory to display.
