ABOUT THAT. AND
ASI ENJOYS A LONG
00:11:02.32\00:11:08.26
RELATIONSHIP WORKING
TOGETHER WITH THESE PEOPLE.
00:11:08.26\00:11:10.47
WELL, YOU KNOW, I KNOW THAT
THINGS ARE GETTING SMALLER THESE
00:11:10.47\00:11:15.30
DAYS. YOU KNOW,
THE ADVENTIST REVIEW
00:11:15.30\00:11:17.84
WENT FROM A LARGER FORMAT
DOWN TO A SMALLER FORMAT, AND
00:11:17.84\00:11:24.61
SUDDENLY WE JUST
HAVE A LITTLE CARD.
00:11:24.61\00:11:28.22
>> IN REALITY THIS IS JUST
ILLUSTRATING SOMETHING ABOUT HOW
00:11:28.22\00:11:32.75
THIS MINISTRY HAS BEEN GROWING
SO RAPIDLY IN THE LAST TWO
00:11:32.75\00:11:36.09
YEARS. WE'RE A
FAMILY OF PRODUCTS NOW,
00:11:36.09\00:11:38.76
NOT JUST ONE. WE'RE
CALLED ADVENTIST REVIEW
00:11:38.76\00:11:42.80
MINISTRIES, BUT WE PUBLISH
ADVENTIST WORLD MAGAZINE, KIDS
00:11:42.80\00:11:47.47
VIEW, OUR PRODUCT FOR KIDS,
WE HAVE LARGE WEBSITES, SOCIAL
00:11:47.47\00:11:52.67
MEDIA OPTIONS. WE ARE
NOW A FAMILY THAT'S THE
00:11:52.67\00:11:56.14
OLDEST THING IN THE CHURCH
AND ALSO THE NEWEST THING OF THE
00:11:56.14\00:11:59.71
CHURCH. >> OKAY.
00:11:59.71\00:12:00.92
SO WHAT WE CAN SEE THEN IS THAT
YOU ARE ACTUALLY PARTNERS WITH
00:12:00.92\00:12:04.89
ALL DIFFERENT
OTHER MINISTRIES AS WELL.
00:12:04.89\00:12:06.89
>> I OFTEN TELL OUR TEAM, WE
DID NOT BUILD THIS ORGANIZATION,
00:12:06.89\00:12:11.69
TITHE AND THE FAITHFULNESS
OF CHURCH MEMBERS BUILT THIS.
00:12:11.69\00:12:18.73
SO IT'S OUR JOB TO HELP OTHER
PEOPLE DISCOVER WHAT THEY ARE
00:12:18.73\00:12:23.67
DOING AND HOW THE LORD
IS WORKING THROUGH THEM.
00:12:23.67\00:12:26.47
>> JARED IT SEEMS LIKE YOUR
TITLE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT
00:12:26.47\00:12:30.45
THAN LAST YEAR. CAN YOU
TELL US WHAT THE CHANGES
00:12:30.45\00:12:32.98
ARE. >> YEAH, WE
HAVE GOT SOMETHING
00:12:32.98\00:12:35.08
EXCITING, AND IT'S
NOT JUST ONE THING.
00:12:35.08\00:12:37.39
IT'S REALLY A THOUGHT OF
WHAT DOES TOMORROW LOOK LIKE?
00:12:37.39\00:12:40.69
AND HOW DO YOU SERVE THE CHURCH?
AND THOSE THAT WE LOVE AROUND US
00:12:40.69\00:12:44.59
THROUGH THE CONTENT OF THE
ADVENTIST REVIEW AND ALL OF THE
00:12:44.59\00:12:47.96
THINGS THAT WE'RE WORKING ON.
SO I HAVE THE PRIVILEGE AND JOY
00:12:47.96\00:12:53.10
OF AGITATING AND RATTLING BILL'S
CAGE AND FINDS WAYS IN WHICH WE
00:12:53.10\00:13:01.88
CAN BETTER SERVE OUR CHURCH.
AND ONE OF THOSE THINGS IS ARTV.
00:13:01.88\00:13:07.95
I COULD SAY IT IS INSPIRED
BY CHRIST OBJECT LESSONS.
00:13:07.95\00:13:13.52
ELLEN WHITE SAYS OF JESUS, THAT
THE REASON HE SPOKE IN PARABLES
00:13:13.52\00:13:20.26
IS BECAUSE IT WAS THE MOST
POPULAR FORM OF STORYTELLING,
00:13:20.26\00:13:24.67
ESPECIALLY WITH
THE GREEKS. >> OKAY.
00:13:24.67\00:13:26.60
>> WHAT WE KNOW TODAY IS BY THE
YEAR 2020, 8 OUT OF 10 PEOPLE
00:13:26.60\00:13:32.47
WILL BE USING THE INTERNET, AND
8 OF THE 10 WILL BE USING IT ON
00:13:32.47\00:13:38.15
THEIR MOBILE DEVICE, WATCHING
A VIDEO, CALLED SHORT-FORM
00:13:38.15\00:13:43.55
CONTENT. SO ARTV
IS REALLY HOW DO WE
00:13:43.55\00:13:47.72
DELIVER THIS TIMELESS MESSAGE IN
VIDEO FORMAT, MOBILE FIRST, AND
00:13:47.72\00:13:52.53
FINE WAYS IN WHICH WE CAN EASILY
SHARE IT WITH THOSE AROUND US.
00:13:52.53\00:13:56.26
AND WE ARE VERY EXCITED
THAT THAT LAUNCHES THIS OCTOBER.
00:13:56.26\00:13:59.07
>> OKAY. THAT SOUNDS EXCITING.
00:13:59.07\00:14:01.50
WHY DON'T YOU TELL US A LITTLE
BIT ABOUT THE BOOTS, AND WHERE
00:14:01.50\00:14:06.14
THE PEOPLE SHOULD GO BY IT?
>> WE HAVE RECENTLY FINISHED A
00:14:06.14\00:14:13.82
PRODUCTION AND PROJECT WHERE WE
SENT A TEAM TO FILM IN VIRTUAL
00:14:13.82\00:14:17.59
REALITY, AND IF YOU COME BY OUR
BOOTH, OR YOU CAN GO BY ADRA'S
00:14:17.59\00:14:28.60
BIRTH, AND YOU CAN PUT THESE
GOGGLES ON AND IMMERSE YOURSELF
00:14:28.60\00:14:37.47
OF BEING IN A VILLAGE. SO
I WANT TO JUST ININVITE YOU,
00:14:37.47\00:14:44.18
COME BY OUR BOOTH, AND
EXPERIENCE WHAT THAT IS LIKE.
00:14:44.18\00:14:47.45
>> OKAY. SOUNDS EXCITING.
00:14:47.45\00:14:51.25
BILL, I KNOW WE TRADITIONALLY
THOUGHT OF ADVENTIST REVIEW, OR
00:14:51.25\00:14:57.23
ADVENTIST WORLD OF BEING MEDIA.
BUT CAN YOU TELL US HOW IT IS
00:14:57.23\00:15:01.93
CHANGING OR PROGRESSING?
>> YOU KNOW, MANY TIMES PEOPLE
00:15:01.93\00:15:06.27
THINK THAT IF YOU ARE
LEANING FORWARD TOWARDS NEW
00:15:06.27\00:15:10.47
TECHNOLOGIES, SOMEHOW YOU
ARE LEANING AWAY FROM BIBLICAL
00:15:10.47\00:15:16.61
TRUTHS. WE'RE
CONSERVATIVE WHEN IT COMES
00:15:16.61\00:15:18.45
TO TRUTH, BUT WE'RE PROGRESSIVE
WHEN IT COMES TO METHODOLOGY.-WE
WANT TO FIND WAYS TO DELIVER
00:15:18.45\00:15:25.05
TO AUDIENCES, THE TIMELESS
TRUTHS OF SCRIPTURE IN A WAY
00:15:25.05\00:15:30.19
THAT THEY WILL UNDERSTAND
AND CHANGE THEIR THINKING.
00:15:30.19\00:15:32.13
SO WE'RE
DEVELOPING AUDIO PODCASTS.
00:15:32.13\00:15:36.33
WE'RE WORKING AS JARED HAS SAID
IN SHORT-FORM ON-DEMAND VIDEO.
00:15:36.33\00:15:42.37
WE CONTINUE TO PUBLISH THE MOST
WIDELY SPREAD MAGAZINES IN THE
00:15:42.37\00:15:47.98
ADVENTIST CHURCH, BUT
IT'S A RANGE OF THINGS.
00:15:47.98\00:15:50.45
IT'S A FAMILY OF THINGS, BECAUSE
OUR GOAL ISN'T JUST TO REACH
00:15:50.45\00:15:55.35
READERS. IT'S
ANYONE WHO WE CAN PUT THE
00:15:55.35\00:15:57.42
GOOD NEWS IN FRONT OF. >> AMEN.
00:15:57.42\00:16:00.62
IT'S A BLESSING TO
BE HERE EVERY YEAR.
00:16:00.62\00:16:04.79
I KNOW WE HAVE HAD THE PRIVILEGE
OF PARTNERING FOR A NUMBER OF
00:16:04.79\00:16:10.97
YEARS NOW. JARED
WHY DO YOU COME EVERY
00:16:10.97\00:16:14.40
YEAR? >> I HAVE
FOUND OVER THE LAST
00:16:14.40\00:16:17.01
TEN YEARS COMING TO ASI, AND NOW
WITH OUR ADVENTIST REVIEW TEAM,
00:16:17.01\00:16:21.84
WE COME HERE FOR THE BEST IDEAS.
WE COME HERE TO INSPIRE PEOPLE
00:16:21.84\00:16:26.45
AND WE COME HERE TO BE INSPIRED.
WHAT THE SEMINARS GIVE US IS A
00:16:26.45\00:16:32.25
BLESSING, WHAT IS DONE ON THIS
STAGE IS A BLESSING, BUT I OFTEN
00:16:32.25\00:16:37.09
FIND IT'S THOSE SHORT
CONVERSATIONS IN THE HALLS, AND
00:16:37.09\00:16:40.60
AT LUNCH AND DINNER THAT MAKE
ME WANT TO SAY I WANT TO BE AN
00:16:40.60\00:16:45.17
ADVENTIST THIS YEAR, THIS
WEEK. SO THAT'S WHY WE COME.
00:16:45.17\00:16:50.47
>> AND WE GET
AMAZING STORIES FROM HERE.
00:16:50.47\00:16:53.94
PEOPLE WALKING THE HALLS WHO
STOP AND SAY, COULD I TALK TO
00:16:53.94\00:16:57.75
YOU FOR A MOMENT, AND SUDDENLY
UNFOLDS A STORY THAT WE WANT TO
00:16:57.75\00:17:01.98
TELL THE WORLD ABOUT.
IT'S A STORY OF FAITH OR
00:17:01.98\00:17:05.92
COURAGE, SOMETIMES CHALLENGE
WITH DAUNTING CIRCUMSTANCES,
00:17:05.92\00:17:08.89
THOSE ARE STORIES THAT COME OUT
OF THIS CONVENTION EVERY YEAR,
00:17:08.89\00:17:11.69
AND THAT'S ONE OF THE
BIG REASONS WE'RE HERE.
00:17:11.69\00:17:14.00
>> AMEN. I WANT TO
THANK BOTH OF YOU FOR
00:17:14.00\00:17:17.67
PARTNERING WITH ASI, WE'RE
SO HAPPY WITH THE RELATIONSHIP.
00:17:17.67\00:17:24.41

WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THE

00:17:48.43\00:17:53.50
ATTENDED. I WEPT THROUGH SEMINAR
AFTR SEMINAR, AND I WAS JUST

TREATS THAT YOU

00:18:00.48\00:18:01.94
WE WANT TO TALK
ABOUT THAT TONIGHT.
00:18:01.94\00:18:04.78
REMEMBER, THERE'S
TWO SETS OF SEMINARS.
00:18:04.78\00:18:07.65
THERE'S A MORNING -- SEMINAR
AND AN AFTERNOON SEMINAR.
00:18:07.65\00:18:14.16

FINANCE. AND
WE'LL BE LOOKING AT THE
00:18:51.19\00:18:53.96
QUESTION IS IT IS POSSIBLE
TO BE FINANCIALLY SECURE WITHOUT
00:18:53.96\00:18:58.30
BECOMING SPIRITUALLY BANKRUPT.
AND AT 10:45, WE'LL BE ANSWERING
00:18:58.30\00:19:05.67
THE QUESTION ABOUT CHRISTIAN
AND IT THREEISTS, A CHILDREN WHO
00:19:05.67\00:19:09.91
BELIEVES IN GOD
BUT TRUSTS IN MONEY.
00:19:09.91\00:19:13.21
>> I'M JIM DAVIDSON WITH
JESUS IN SCIENCE SEMINARS.
00:19:13.21\00:19:17.59
WHY JESUS AND SCIENCE?
WHY NOT THE MORE PALATABLE GOD
00:19:17.59\00:19:25.19
AND SCIENCE. WE

THE CREATOR, WHO CAN

00:19:42.98\00:19:46.51
>> AMEN. THE
ONLY THING BETTER THAN
00:19:46.51\00:19:49.92
LIVING THE CHRISTIAN LIFE IS
LIVING THE CHRISTIAN LIFE AND
00:19:49.92\00:19:53.82
ENJOYING IT. GOD JUST
WANTS US TO RELISH HIM.
00:19:53.82\00:19:58.59
GOD WANTS US TO DELIGHT IN HIM.
AND YET FOR MOST OF MY CHRISTIAN
00:19:58.59\00:20:03.20
LIFE THAT WAS NOT MY EXPERIENCE.
IT TOOK ME 30 YEARS AFTER MY
00:20:03.20\00:20:08.40
BAPTISM TO FALL
IN LOVE WITH JESUS.
00:20:08.40\00:20:10.87
WHAT WAS I MISSING? HOW
COULD I MISS SOMETHING SO
00:20:10.87\00:20:15.18
IMPORTANT? HOW CAN WE ENJOY GOD?
00:20:15.18\00:20:17.65
HOW CAN WE RELISH OUR TIME
WITH HIM, AND RELISH SHARING HIM

THAT THE LORD HAS INSPIRED US
WITH, HOW IT IS CATCHING ON ALL
00:21:34.82\00:21:39.83
OVER THE WORLD. GOD
TELLS US THAT UNLESS OUR

00:23:03.14\00:23:10.05
COMPLAISANCESY. HE IS
GOING TO TALK ABOUT BAD
00:23:10.05\00:23:12.39
STRESS AND GOOD STRESS, AND HOW
SOME STRESS IS ACTUALLY GOOD FOR
00:23:12.39\00:23:16.76
YOU. SO THAT'S
AN EXCITING SEMINAR.
00:23:16.76\00:23:19.23
SO REMEMBER WE HAVE
TWO SETS OF SEMINARS.
00:23:19.23\00:23:22.36
WE HAVE A MORNING SEMINAR

>> HELLO, ASI FAMILY MEMBERS.
THAT'S WHAT WE ARE, RIGHT?
00:27:08.59\00:27:14.60
FAMILY? I LOE COMING TO ASI.
00:27:14.60\00:27:19.23
SO MANY OF US HAVE
AMAZING STORIES, DON'T WE?
00:27:19.23\00:27:26.07
YOU -- YOU GO DOWN TO THE
EXHIBIT HALL AND HERE AMAZING
00:27:26.07\00:27:36.35
-STORIES. DR. BRIAN
SCHWARTZ IS FROM DAYTON, OHIO.
00:27:36.35\00:27:41.59
I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU
PRAY WITH ALL OF YOUR PATIENTS.
00:27:41.59\00:27:50.57
H HOW DID YOU START DOING THAT?
00:27:50.57\00:27:57.54
>> THANK YOU, ESTHER.
AFTER GOING TO MEDICAL SCHOOL, I
00:27:57.54\00:28:01.41
WAS NOT PERSONALLY COMFORTABLE
PRAYING WITH PATIENTS, BUT
00:28:01.41\00:28:05.85
AROUND 2004, 2005, THERE
WAS A GROUP THAT FORMED AMEN.
00:28:05.85\00:28:11.45
WE WERE CHALLENGED BY PASTOR
MARK FINLEY TO JUST START HAVING
00:28:11.45\00:28:16.56
A SPIRITUAL
CONVERSATION WITH OUR PATIENTS.
00:28:16.56\00:28:19.43
AND I CAME BACK FROM THAT
MEETING CONVICTED AND CHANGED,
00:28:19.43\00:28:22.50
AND REALIZED THAT I
NEEDED TO START DOING THAT.
00:28:22.50\00:28:25.37
SO I WOULD PICK OUT A PATIENT
HERE AND THERE AND START PRAYING
00:28:25.37\00:28:30.41
WITH THEM. I
PICKED OUT THE ONES THAT I
00:28:30.41\00:28:34.14
THOUGHT WOULD RESPOND AT FIRST,
BUT AFTER A WHILE I BECAME
00:28:34.14\00:28:38.95
CONVINCED I NEEDED TO
PRAY WITH EVERY SINGLE PATIENT.
00:28:38.95\00:28:42.85
>> THAT'S
SOMETHING WE ALL CAN DO.
00:28:42.85\00:28:44.79
WHETHER YOU ARE A PHYSICIAN, OR
FIRE CHIEF, OR POLICE OFFICER,
00:28:44.79\00:28:49.72
YOU CAN ALWAYS
PRAY WITH SOMEBODY.
00:28:49.72\00:28:52.16
YOU CONSIDER TELLING ME ABOUT A
FIRE CHIEF AND SOME PRAYERS YOU
00:28:52.16\00:28:55.60
HAD WITH HIM. >>
HAVING STARTED PRAYING WITH
00:28:55.60\00:28:58.50
MY PATIENTS, THIS JUST
REVOLUTIONIZED BY PRACTICE.
00:28:58.50\00:29:03.41
IT USED TO BE I
WOULD GO TO WORK.
00:29:03.41\00:29:05.81
THAT WAS WHERE I WORKED. I
WOULD GO ON MISSION TRIPS, BUT
00:29:05.81\00:29:09.88
THIS HAS CHANGED MY PRACTICE
INTO A MINISTRY, AND I REALIZED
00:29:09.88\00:29:14.48
THAT I HAVE PEOPLE FROM ALL
WALKS OF LIFE THAT COME TO MY
00:29:14.48\00:29:17.72
OFFICE. I DON'T
HAVE TO GO OUT THERE TO
00:29:17.72\00:29:19.99
PASS OUT LITERATURE.
THEY ARE COMING TO ME.
00:29:19.99\00:29:22.22
SO ONE OF THEM IS THE CHIEF
OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT IN ONE OF
00:29:22.22\00:29:25.49
OUR AREA CITIES. HE
NEEDED HEART SURGERY
00:29:25.49\00:29:29.16
AND -- AND AS MY
HABIT IS, WE MADE THE VISIT.
00:29:29.16\00:29:33.77
WE GOT THE RIGHT REFERRALS, AND
I SAID BY THE WAY, ONE OF THE
00:29:33.77\00:29:41.18
THINGS I DO WITH ALL OF
MY PATIENTS IS HAVE A PRAYER.
00:29:41.18\00:29:44.48
AND HE GOT TEARS IN HIS EYES,
AND HELD MY HAND, AND AFTER WE
00:29:44.48\00:29:50.32
WERE DONE, HE SAID CAN
YOU PRAY ONE MORE TIME.
00:29:50.32\00:29:53.72
AND THIS OPENS THE DOOR FOR
THEM TO REALIZE THAT I AM A SAFE
00:29:53.72\00:29:58.36
PERSON TO HAVE A
SPIRITUAL CONVERSATION WITH.
00:29:58.36\00:30:00.60
SO TWO YEARS LATER AFTER HE
RECOVERED FROM SURGERY, HE HAS
00:30:00.60\00:30:06.03
GOTTEN PROBABLY THE THIRD
PATIENT FROM THE END, AND HE IS
00:30:06.03\00:30:10.51
LIKE, DOC, YOU ARE A SPIRITUAL
PERSON, CAN I ASK YOU A
00:30:10.51\00:30:14.98
QUESTION? AND HE
ASKED ME HOW DO YOU KNOW
00:30:14.98\00:30:17.91
THAT THE BIBLE IS TRUE. AND
THAT TURNED INTO A 45-MINUTE
00:30:17.91\00:30:24.42
VISIT WHERE MY NURSE KNOCKED ON
THE DOOR AND SAID, DOC, YOU HAVE
00:30:24.42\00:30:28.19
A COUPLE MORE PATIENTS TO SEE.
AND NEXT YEAR HE CAME BACK, DOC,
00:30:28.19\00:30:35.80
YOU ARE A SMART PERSON.
YOU BELIEVE IN CREATION.
00:30:35.80\00:30:38.80
TELL ME WHY. SO IT
JUST OPENED THE DOOR TO
00:30:38.80\00:30:42.37
SEE THAT I WAS SOMEBODY IN THE
COMMUNITY THAT HE COULD GO TO,
00:30:42.37\00:30:47.28
TO ASK THOSE KIND OF QUESTIONS
WHEN HE WAS SEARCHING IN HIS OWN
00:30:47.28\00:30:51.25
HEART. >> IT'S SIMPLE, ISN'T IT?
00:30:51.25\00:30:53.92
JUST GAINING TRUST. NOW
YOU PRAY WITH ALL OF YOUR
00:30:53.92\00:30:58.22
PATIENTS. DOES
THAT MEAN YOU PRAY WITH
00:30:58.22\00:31:00.52
PATIENTS WHO
DON'T BELIEVE IN GOD?
00:31:00.52\00:31:02.19
>> YEAH, THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.
AT FIRST I SELECTED A FEW,
00:31:02.19\00:31:07.76
PRETTY SOON I STARTED
OFFERING TO ALL OF MY PATIENTS.
00:31:07.76\00:31:10.90
BECAUSE IF  MISSED ONE THAT
I PRAYED WITH BEFORE, THEY GOT
00:31:10.90\00:31:15.47
UPSET WHEN I MISSED ONE.
SO THEN THERE ARE A FEW THAT
00:31:15.47\00:31:25.15
SAY, NO, THEY
DEFINITELY DON'T PRAYER.
00:31:25.15\00:31:31.15
BUT I HAVE PRAYED
WITH A JEWISH RABBI.
00:31:31.15\00:31:37.69
HE HAD A PACEMAKER AND DECIDED
I JUST WANT TO GO TO HOSPICE.
00:31:37.69\00:31:45.10
AND ANY PARTNER SAID
TALK TO DR. SCHWARTZ ABOUT IT.
00:31:45.10\00:31:50.37
AND I SAID WOULD YOU MIND
IF I HAD A PRAYER WITH YOU?
00:31:50.37\00:31:54.94
AND I PRAYED THE WAY I PRAY
A CHRISTIAN PRAYER, AND HE HAD
00:31:54.94\00:32:00.48
TEARS IN HIS EYES, AND
AFTERWARDS HE SAID I'LL HAVE
00:32:00.48\00:32:04.12
THAT PACEMAKER. AND
WE HAVE GOTTEN TO BE
00:32:04.12\00:32:08.66
FRIENDS, AND HE CONFIDED IN MY
WIFE LATER, THAT WHEN I WALKED
00:32:08.66\00:32:17.07
IN THE ROOM, THOUGHT PRAISE
GOD, I HAVE FOUND A DOCTOR THAT
00:32:17.07\00:32:25.11
DOESN'T THINK HE
IS GOD. [ LAUGHTER ]
00:32:25.11\00:32:27.21
>> THAT'S WONDERFUL. AND
THERE IS ANOTHER STORY YOU
00:32:27.21\00:32:30.28
WANTED TO SHARE. WOULD
YO LIKE TO TELL US ABOUT
00:32:30.28\00:32:33.75
A MUSLIM PERSON THAT YOU --
>> YEAH, THIS ISN'T DIRECTLY
00:32:33.75\00:32:38.79
RELATED TO
PRAYING WITH PATIENTS.
00:32:38.79\00:32:40.69
BUT WE TRAIN DOCTORS WHO HAVE
FINISHED THEIR RESIDENCY AND
00:32:40.69\00:32:46.03
THEN GO ON TO
SPECIALIZE IN CARDIOLOGY.
00:32:46.03\00:32:50.03
AND I'M THE DIRECTOR OF
THE INTERVENTION CARDIOLOGY
00:32:50.03\00:32:54.94
FELLOWSHIP. SO MY
FELLOWS SEE MY INTERACTING
00:32:54.94\00:32:58.81
WITH MY PATIENTS.
AND MOHAMMED IS MUSLIM.
00:32:58.81\00:33:03.55
AND VERY DEVOUT,
VERY KIND HEARTED.
00:33:03.55\00:33:07.02
BUT ONE OF MY PARTNERS DECIDED
PARTWAY THROUGH THE YEAR LAST
00:33:07.02\00:33:11.59
YEAR, THAT WE WOULD
START A BIBLE STUDY GROUP.
00:33:11.59\00:33:16.29
AND WE DECIDED TO SHOW THE
THUNDER IN THE HOLY LAND SERIES.
00:33:16.29\00:33:24.73
AND MOHAMMED SAW ME ROLLING
THE MACHINE DOWN TO THE ROOM.
00:33:24.73\00:33:32.14
AND HE SAID LET ME HELP YOU.
AND I SAID YOU ARE WELCOME TO
00:33:32.14\00:33:36.41
STAY. WE'RE
HAVING A BIBLE STUDY, AND
00:33:36.41\00:33:41.48
HE STAYED AND HE WATCHED THE
BIBLE STUDY, AND PRETTY SOON IT
00:33:41.48\00:33:47.02
TURNED INTO A DISCUSSION OF THIS
IS WHAT BEBELIEVE AS CHRISTIANS,
00:33:47.02\00:33:52.03
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT
THAT? AND BY THE TIME THAT HE
00:33:52.03\00:33:57.03
GRADUATED A YEAR LATER, AND
HE IS NOW PRACTICING IN A NEARBY
00:33:57.03\00:34:01.50
TOWN, HE SAID DR. SCHWARTZ,
I JUST WART TO THANK YOU FOR
00:34:01.50\00:34:05.87
SHARING JESUS WITH ME. HE
SAID I BELIEVE THAT JESUS IS
00:34:05.87\00:34:09.44
THE MESSIAH, THAT HE IS COMING
BACK SOON, AND WHEN HE COMES
00:34:09.44\00:34:13.92
BACK, I'M GOING TO BE READY.
SO JUST A FEW MONTHS AGO, HE IS
00:34:13.92\00:34:18.32
OFF IN A PRACTICE, HE IS RESPECT
RESPECTED IN HIS COMMUNITY, HE
00:34:18.32\00:34:24.16
SENT ME A CHECK FOR $3,000 AND
SAID DR. SCHWARTZ PLEASE SEND
00:34:24.16\00:34:30.00
THIS TO THAT MINISTRY YOU
TALKED ABOUT WHERE PHYSICIANS GO
00:34:30.00\00:34:34.80
OVERSEAS AND HELP PEOPLE. SO
HE IS FUNDING OUR MINISTRIES.
00:34:34.80\00:34:38.17
HE HAS BEEN TOUCHED BY THE FACT
THAT I TOOK THE TIME TO PRAY
00:34:38.17\00:34:42.54
WITH PATIENTS AND THEN ALMOST
NONCHALANTLY SHARED JESUS WITH
00:34:42.54\00:34:53.25
HIM. >> AMEN.
00:34:53.25\00:34:54.39
THAT'S SOMETHING
EVER ONE OF US CAN DO.
00:34:54.39\00:34:56.69
THAT'S VERY POWER. SO WE
HAVE THIS PHYSICIAN HERE.
00:34:56.69\00:34:59.73
WE ALSO HAVE ANOTHER
COUPLE OF PHYSICIANS.
00:34:59.73\00:35:03.16
TELL US A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT YOUR. TELL US YOUR NAME.
00:35:03.16\00:35:05.80
>> I'M CARLOS, AND
THIS IS MY WIFE, KATHY.
00:35:05.80\00:35:09.80
WE'RE BOTH FAMILY
PRACTICE PHYSICIANS.
00:35:09.80\00:35:11.94
WE WORK IN PUERTO RICO ON A
MISSION TERM FOR ABOUT SIX YEARS
00:35:11.94\00:35:17.55
AND THEN MOVED TO LOUISIANA
WHERE THE PRACTICED PRIVATE
00:35:17.55\00:35:24.15
PRACTICE FOR ALMOST 25
YEARS, AND WE RETIRED THIS PAST
00:35:24.15\00:35:28.36
DECEMBER. >>
OH, YOU ARE RETIRED.
00:35:28.36\00:35:30.69
THAT MEANS YOU ARE PICKING UP
NEW HOBBIES, GOING ON VACATION,
00:35:30.69\00:35:36.46
SPENDING TIME WITH
GRANDCHILDREN, RIGHT?
00:35:36.46\00:35:38.03
>> WELL, THAT'S OBVIOUSLY
WHAT WE WERE WONDERING ABOUT.
00:35:38.03\00:35:41.64
WHAT ARE WE GOING
TO DO WHEN WE RETIRE?
00:35:41.64\00:35:44.31
THERE ARE TWO THINGS
THAT CROSSED OUR MINDS.
00:35:44.31\00:35:47.91
ONE WAS WE WANTED TO BE NEAR
AN ADVENTIST COLLEGE TO BENEFIT
00:35:47.91\00:35:53.55
FROM THE ENERGY OF THE YOUNG
PEOPLE AND THE PROGRAMMING, ALSO
00:35:53.55\00:35:56.85
WE WANTED TO HAVE A HOME THAT
WOULD HAVE ENOUGH ROOM SO THAT
00:35:56.85\00:36:01.09
WE COULD INVITE GUESTS WHO
WERE -- AND ACCOMMODATE GUESTS
00:36:01.09\00:36:05.13
WHO WERE INTERESTED IN LEARNING
HOW TO LIVE A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE.
00:36:05.13\00:36:09.83
I NEED TO DEFINE A HEALTHY
LIFESTYLE, ELLEN WHITE ELIN AT
00:36:09.83\00:36:18.07
IT -- DELINEATES THAT VERY WELL,
WHERE SHE SAYS PURE AIR, EXER
00:36:18.07\00:36:27.32
SIDES, WATER, TRUST IN
DIVINE POWER, THESE ARE THE TRUE
00:36:27.32\00:36:31.95
REMEDIES. WE HAVE
TRIED TO TEACH THESE TO
00:36:31.95\00:36:34.82
OUR PATIENTS, AND HAVE
BEEN EXTREMELY GRADFIED TO SEE
00:36:34.82\00:36:39.46
SIGNIFICANT BENEFITS IN
THOSE -- THE RELATIVELY FEW WHO
00:36:39.46\00:36:43.06
HAVE LISTENED AND MADE
CHANGES IN THEIR LIVES.
00:36:43.06\00:36:45.87
NOW WE WANT TO TAKE IT TO
THE NEXT LEVEL AND INVITE PEOPLE
00:36:45.87\00:36:49.90
INTO OUR HOME, SO THAT WE CAN
BETTER HELP THEM TO INTERNALIZE
00:36:49.90\00:36:54.14
THESE CONCEPTS BY ACTUALLY
PUTTING THEM IN -- GETTING THEIR
00:36:54.14\00:36:57.68
HANDS INTO IT, SO TO SPEAK,
SO RATHER THAN JUST LISTENING TO
00:36:57.68\00:37:03.22
LECTURES, WE WANT TO HAVE THEM
ACTUALLY PRACTICE SHOPPING FOR
00:37:03.22\00:37:07.86
THE FOOD. THEY
WILL PREPARE MANY OF THE
00:37:07.86\00:37:11.59
MEALS, AND THEY WILL LEARN WHAT
IT MEANS TO MAKE TIME IN THEIR
00:37:11.59\00:37:14.86
DAY FOR
EXERCISE AND DEVOTIONALS.
00:37:14.86\00:37:19.83
>> OKAY. SO HOME.
00:37:19.83\00:37:21.24
KATHY, HE IS TALKING ABOUT
INVITING PEOPLE INTO YOUR HOME.
00:37:21.24\00:37:24.11
WHAT DOES THAT LOOK
LIKE? >> IT LOOKS LIKE FUN.
00:37:24.11\00:37:27.28
>> ALL RIGHT. >>
IT'S REALLY INTERESTING.
00:37:27.28\00:37:32.78
OUR HOME SLASH HEALTHY LIVING
CENTER, IT'S JUST AN AMAZING
00:37:32.78\00:37:38.19
THING THAT IT IS COMING AROUND.
THERE IT IS ON THE SCREEN.
00:37:38.19\00:37:42.92
THIS IS A WORK OF THE
LORD. HE PLANNED OUR RETIREMENT.
00:37:42.92\00:37:47.30
HE'S GIVEN MORE THAN WE COULD
ASK OR THINK IN PROVIDING FOR US
00:37:47.30\00:37:56.57
A PLACE WHERE WE WILL LIVE AND
BE ABLE TO ALSO HAVE THIS PLAN
00:37:56.57\00:38:03.21
OF A HEALTHY LIVING CENTER.
IT IS CONSTRUCTED AND GETTING
00:38:03.21\00:38:07.28
FINISHED WITH THE
WARTER INSHIP OF WASHTA HILLS.
00:38:07.28\00:38:12.49
MANY HOURS OF LABOR
GO INTO THE CONSTRUCTION.
00:38:12.49\00:38:16.09
WE HAVE BEEN IN LOUISIANA FOR A
GOOD PART OF THAT TIME AND IT'S
00:38:16.09\00:38:21.33
JUST INTERESTING TO ME, THAT SO
MANY HANDS HAVE BEEN INVOLVED.
00:38:21.33\00:38:26.50
I THINK JUST ABOUT EVERY ACADEMY
STUDENT, EVERY COLLEGE STUDENT
00:38:26.50\00:38:31.01
HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN THE
BUILDING OF THIS PLACE, AND THE
00:38:31.01\00:38:33.91
STAFF. THEY HAVE
ALL BEEN INVOLVED, BUT
00:38:33.91\00:38:36.71
NOT ONLY THAT, BROTHER STEVE
DICKMAN BROUGHT A TEAM OF YOUNG
00:38:36.71\00:38:42.85
PEOPLE, AND THEY CAME AND
LABORED -- PUT UP SHEETROCK.
00:38:42.85\00:38:47.06
THAT WAS
WONDERFUL. SO WE HAVE THIS.
00:38:47.06\00:38:49.02
NOW IT'S LOCATE ON PROPERTY
BELONGING TO WASHATA HILLS.
00:38:49.02\00:38:56.56
AND I THINK SOME PEOPLE
MAY NOT KNOW WHAT THAT IS.
00:38:56.56\00:39:00.30
THIS IS A SCHOOL THAT HAS
BOTH AN ACADEMY AND COLLEGE.
00:39:00.30\00:39:05.77
IT'S LOCATED IN A BEAUTIFUL
SPOT-pIN ARKANSAS, CLOSE TO
00:39:05.77\00:39:13.18
AMITY, ARKANSAS. AND YOU
CAN LOOK THAT UP ON YOUR MAP.
00:39:13.18\00:39:16.38
SO THIS IS OUR PLAN. IT'S
NEARING COMPLETION, BUT NOT
00:39:16.38\00:39:20.39
QUITE THERE YET. WE
WANT PEOPLE LIVING IN THE
00:39:20.39\00:39:23.19
HOME WITH US. WE
HAVE A LARGE COMMON AREA.
00:39:23.19\00:39:26.90
IT HAS VERY AMPLE KITCHEN
COUNTERS AND STUFF, SO PEOPLE
00:39:26.90\00:39:32.37
CAN BE REALLY INVOLVED IN A
LARGE OPEN LIVING ROOM WHERE WE
00:39:32.37\00:39:36.24
CAN HAVE INSTRUCTION GIVEN.
>> SO INSTEAD OF GOING TO A
00:39:36.24\00:39:39.97
CLASS WHERE THEY LERN ABOUT
HEALTHY LIVING, WHETHER IT BE A
00:39:39.97\00:39:43.48
COOKING CLASS OR JUST -- YOU
KNOW, THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT
00:39:43.48\00:39:47.08
HEALTHY LIVING PROGRAMS OUT
THERE RIGHT NOW, SO YOU WITH
00:39:47.08\00:39:51.02
TALKING ABOUT PUTTNG PEOPLE
IN A HOME SETTING TO PRACTICE
00:39:51.02\00:39:54.16
COOKING, AND PRACTICE SLEEPING,
FOR SOMEBODY LIKE ME THAT COULD
00:39:54.16\00:40:00.46
CAN BE A
STRUGGLE, GETTING THAT REST.
00:40:00.46\00:40:03.47
AND THEY CAN GET SUNSHINE, FRESH
AIR, AND LEARN HOW TO EXERCISE,
00:40:03.47\00:40:08.54
AND LEARN HOW TO GARDEN. >>
THAT GARDEN IS NOT THERE YET.
00:40:08.54\00:40:12.67
BUT WE WANT TO INCLUDE A GARDEN,
AND WE HOPE TO INCLUDE ALL OF
00:40:12.67\00:40:17.55
THESE PHASES THAT INCLUDE THE
EIGHT NATURAL REMEDIES THAT THEY
00:40:17.55\00:40:23.65
WOULD LIVE WITH US
FOR MAYBE A WEEK SESSION.
00:40:23.65\00:40:27.06
AND IN ADDITION TO BEING ABLE
TO ENJOY THIS OPPORTUNITY IN OUR
00:40:27.06\00:40:31.76
RETIREMENT, WE WILL ALSO BE ABLE
TO TEACH ON THE CAMPUS, AND THAT
00:40:31.76\00:40:37.90
GIVES US MORE EXPOSURE TO THESE
YOUNG PEOPLE WHICH IS JUST SUCH
00:40:37.90\00:40:42.10
A THRILL. >> AMEN.-NOW
WHEN DO YOU PLAN TO HAVE
00:40:42.10\00:40:46.14
YOUR FIRST SESSION. YOU
SAID IT'S NOT FINISHED YET.
00:40:46.14\00:40:49.91
>> IT IS NOT QUITE FINISHED
YET, IT IS GETTING THERE.
00:40:49.91\00:40:53.52
WE HAVE TO GIVE FURTHER WORK TO
PREPARING FOR THE SESSIONS, SO
00:40:53.52\00:40:57.15
RIGHT NOW, WHERE OUR TARGET DATE
IS TO HAVE OUR FIRST SESSION
00:40:57.15\00:41:02.66
SOMEWHERE IN
EARLY 2018. >> UH-HUH.
00:41:02.66\00:41:04.73
>> WONDERFUL. SO HOW
CAN THESE PEOPLE THAT ARE
00:41:04.73\00:41:07.46
HERE OR WATCHING ON 3ABN, HOW
CAN THEY GET MORE INFORMATION
00:41:07.46\00:41:11.20
FROM YOU? >> JUST
COME TO THE WASHATA
00:41:11.20\00:41:17.27
BOOTH, NUMBER 607. 607.
00:41:17.27\00:41:22.18
BOOTH 607. >> BEAUTIFUL.
00:41:22.18\00:41:24.11
YOU NEED TO VISIT THEM
AND FIND OUT MORE ABOUT IT.
00:41:24.11\00:41:26.65
I WANT TO GO TO WENDY.
WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT
00:41:26.65\00:41:30.69
OPENING UP YOUR HOME TO DO THIS
HEALTHY LIVING INSTRUCTION, BUT
00:41:30.69\00:41:34.72
WHAT IF THERE ISN'T A HOME?
WHAT IF YOU ARE LIVING IN A
00:41:34.72\00:41:38.09
TENT? AND SO WE'RE
GOING TO BE HEARING
00:41:38.09\00:41:40.76
FROM MENDY WHO IS WITH IMPACT
HOPE, AND LET'S GO AHEAD AND
00:41:40.76\00:41:45.70
PLAY THE VIDEO RIGHT
NOW. >> MY NAME IS LEAH, AND M
00:41:45.70\00:41:51.14
FRIENDS GO TO AFRICA A LOT.
THERE WAS A WAR THAT MADE PEOPLE
00:41:51.14\00:41:54.54
HAVE TO RUN AWAY FROM THEIR OWN
HOMES AND NOW LIVE IN ANOTHER
00:41:54.54\00:42:01.78
COUNTRY. PEOPLE
WHO HAVE TO LEAVE THEIR
00:42:01.78\00:42:08.06
HOMES TO REF -- REFUGEE
CAMPS FOR OVER 20 YEARS.
00:42:08.06\00:42:21.07
THEY ONLY HAVE ONE MEAL A DAY.
THERE ARE NO [ INAUDIBLE ] AND
00:42:21.07\00:42:25.84
NO SHOWERS. THEY CAN
ONLY GO TO SCHOOL UNTIL
00:42:25.84\00:42:29.88
9TH GRADE IN THE CAMP.
WHEN MY MOM AND DAD HEARD ABOUT
00:42:29.88\00:42:34.72
THESE PEOPLE, THEY WERE SAD,
BECAUSE MOST OF THE PEOPLE ARE
00:42:34.72\00:42:45.53
SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS LIKE US.
00:42:45.53\00:42:50.13
>> MY MOM STARTED SOMETHING
CALLED [ INAUDIBLE ] THEY ARE
00:42:56.97\00:42:59.94
TRYING TO RAISE MONEY TO SEND
KIDS TO GO TO SCHOOL, SO THEY
00:42:59.94\00:43:03.65
CAN GET JOBS, SO THEY -- SO THEY
CAN TAKE CARE OF THEIR FAMILIES.
00:43:03.65\00:43:10.65
>> [ INAUDIBLE ]. >>
THERE ARE LOTS MORE KIDS WHO
00:43:10.65\00:43:41.75
WANT TO GO TO
SCHOOL. WILL YOU HELP US?
00:43:41.75\00:43:49.49
>> OKAY. NOW,
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
00:43:49.49\00:43:53.09
REFUGEES FROM CONGO
AND RWANDA, CORRECT?
00:43:53.09\00:43:57.43
>> RIGHT. >> THE
VIDEO TALKED ABOUT THIS,
00:43:57.43\00:44:00.30
BUT HOW MANY PEOPLE
ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?
00:44:00.30\00:44:02.67
>> THERE IS APPROXIMATELY 80,000
PEOPLE WHO ARE LIVING IN THE
00:44:02.67\00:44:08.41
REFUGEE CAMPS IN RWANDA.
BUT THE THING THAT CAUGHT OUR
00:44:08.41\00:44:12.78
ATTENTION IS -- WELL, WE NEW
ABOUT THE GENOCIDE THAT HAPPENED
00:44:12.78\00:44:16.65
IN 1994, BUT WE DIDN'T
REALIZE WHAT HAPPENED NEXT.
00:44:16.65\00:44:21.16
SO THE GENOCIDE SPILLS OVER INTO
NEIGHBORING COUNTRIES INCLUDING
00:44:21.16\00:44:32.63
ZIARE, WHICH IS NOW
RWANDA. AND THEY FLED.
00:44:32.63\00:44:39.21
BUT IN SIARE, THEY CAME ACROSS
A GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO WERE THE
00:44:39.21\00:44:50.35
SAME TRIBAL
SYSTEMS AS IN RWANDA.
00:44:50.35\00:44:53.25
SO WHEN THEY SAW THE LUSH FARM
SYSTEMS AND THE HERDS OF CATTLE,
00:44:53.25\00:44:59.49
AND THEY BEGAN GENOCIDE
AGAIN. WELL, THIS AREA THAT WAS
00:44:59.49\00:45:04.63
TARGETED HAD BEEN [ INAUDIBLE ]
BY EVANGELISTS IN THE EARLY 1900
00:45:04.63\00:45:14.68
S. SO THIS LEAD TO INFLUX OF
00:45:14.68\00:45:18.55
REFUGEES INTO RWANDA, AND AT
TIMES THERE WERE AROUND 100,000.
00:45:18.55\00:45:23.65
CURRENTLY THERE'S 80,000
REFUGEES, AND AROUND 80% AND
00:45:23.65\00:45:28.42
HIGHER, AND IN SOME CASES,
IN SOME CAMPS, 100% OF THEM ARE
00:45:28.42\00:45:35.53
SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS.
SO MY HUSBAND AND I, WHEN WE
00:45:35.53\00:45:38.57
HEARD THIS, WE FELT COMPELLED
TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
00:45:38.57\00:45:43.14
I'M A NURSE, AND MY
HUSBAND IS A BUSINESSMAN.
00:45:43.14\00:45:46.74
BUT WE PRAYED TO DO
SOMETHING INVOLVING MISSIONS.
00:45:46.74\00:45:51.08
AND WE FELT LIKE GOD WAS CALLING
US TO TAKE PART IN HELPING IN
00:45:51.08\00:45:57.69
SOME WAY THESE
BROTHERS AND SISTERS.
00:45:57.69\00:45:59.92
>> RIGHT. AND
WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT
00:45:59.92\00:46:02.62
PEOPLE. WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT BROTHERS AND
00:46:02.62\00:46:05.96
SISTERS, AND
THEY ARE OUR FAMILY.
00:46:05.96\00:46:08.03
AND THIS STORY REALLY TOUCHED
MY HEART, BECAUSE WE ARE TALKING
00:46:08.03\00:46:11.43
ABOUT OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS.
IT COULD EASILY BE ANY OF US
00:46:11.43\00:46:17.64
HERE. SO WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
00:46:17.64\00:46:20.64
>> WELL, AS WE LEARNED MORE
ABOUT THE CONDITIONS IN THE CAMP
00:46:20.64\00:46:24.08
AND THE SITUATION WITH
THE STUDENTS AND YOUNG PEOPLE.
00:46:24.08\00:46:27.75
WE FOUND OUT THAT [ INAUDIBLE ]
RWANDA IS IN THE CAMP, AND THEY
00:46:27.75\00:46:30.75
PROVIDE EDUCATION
UP TO THE NINTH GRADE.
00:46:30.75\00:46:34.29
BUT AFTER THAT, THERE IS NO
FUNDING FOR FURTHER EDUCATION.
00:46:34.29\00:46:38.63
SO MY HUSBAND AND I
STARTED IMPACT HOPE.
00:46:38.63\00:46:43.20
AND WE'RE SENDING STUDENTS TO
ANY CAMPS FOR GRADES 10 THROUGH
00:46:43.20\00:46:50.17
12 TO ADVENTIST
BOARDING SCHOOLS IN RWANDA.
00:46:50.17\00:46:52.31
SO IT HAS BEEN A REALLY GREAT
THING FOR THE STUDENTS AND ALSO
00:46:52.31\00:46:56.44
TO HELP THE ADVENTIST
SCHOOLS IN RWANDA AS WELL.
00:46:56.44\00:47:00.12
>> WE HAVE A PICTURE UP ABOUT
THIS YOUNG LADY WITH A MATTRESS,
00:47:00.12\00:47:05.42
CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THAT.
>> SO FOR $600 A SCHOOL YEAR, WE
00:47:05.42\00:47:11.99
CAN TAKE ONE REFUGEE AND PUT
THEM IN AN ADVENTIST BOARDING
00:47:11.99\00:47:17.47
SCHOOL. AND THEY
SAY YOU ARE TAKEN US TO
00:47:17.47\00:47:20.30
EUROPE, BECAUSE THE CONTRAST
BETWEEN THE CAMP AND THESE
00:47:20.30\00:47:23.14
BOARDING SCHOOLS IS SO EXTREME
THAT THEY FEEL LIKE THEY HAVE
00:47:23.14\00:47:27.88
BEEN TRANSPORTED TO
A DIFFERENT COUNTRY.
00:47:27.88\00:47:31.51
AND THEY HAVE THIS CONFIDENCE
AND THEY FEEL THAT THEIR DREAMS
00:47:31.51\00:47:35.68
HAVE COME TRUE.
DREAMS THAT THEY NEVER WOULD
00:47:35.68\00:47:37.99
HAVE ANTICIPATED.
ESPECIALLY THE FACT THAT THEY
00:47:37.99\00:47:41.26
ARE IN AN ADVENTIST
SCHOOL IS ESPECIALLY GREAT.
00:47:41.26\00:47:44.29
>> THE LAST PICTURE YOU SAW
WAS EILEEN, SHE IS ONE OF OUR
00:47:44.29\00:47:48.96
SHINING STARS AND SHE IS
IN TECHNICAL SCHOOL RIGHT NOW
00:47:48.96\00:47:52.63
SHE GRADUATED LAST YEAR,
AND NOW SHE IS TAKING SEWING.
00:47:52.63\00:47:56.74
AND SHE HAS A FEATURE, AND SHE
KNOWS THAT SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO
00:47:56.74\00:48:04.61
REMAIN IN THE REFUGEE CAMPS.
AND SHE IS INCREDIBLY GRATEFUL
00:48:04.61\00:48:08.52
FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO
EAN MONEY, MAKE A LIVING, AND
00:48:08.52\00:48:12.99
PROVIDE FOR NOT ONLY
HERSELF BUT FUTURE FAMILY.
00:48:12.99\00:48:16.73
SO WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT
THE IMPACT, AND I DON'T THINK
00:48:16.73\00:48:21.13
WE'RE UNDERSTAND THE FULL
IMPACT UNTIL WE GO TO HEAVEN.
00:48:21.13\00:48:24.07
>> ABSOLUTELY. YOU ARE
ALSO HELPING THEM GET A
00:48:24.07\00:48:28.40
LIVELIHOOD, AND PUTTING THEM
IN A POSITION WHERE THEY CAN DO
00:48:28.40\00:48:31.64
MISSION WORK. AND
THAT'S SOMETHING WE NEED TO
00:48:31.64\00:48:34.18
REMEMBER TOO. SO THIS
HAS ONLY BEEN GOING ON
00:48:34.18\00:48:38.41
FOR ABOUT TWO YEARS, AND ALREADY
410 STUDENTS HAVE BEEN IMPACTED?
00:48:38.41\00:48:42.92
>> THAT'S RIGHT. WE
HAVE 410 STUDENTS, AND THEY
00:48:42.92\00:48:47.12
ARE ALL SPONSORSHIP BASED.
SO WE WOULD ENCOURAGE ANYONE WHO
00:48:47.12\00:48:52.29
IS INTERESTED IN BECOMING A
SPONSOR, TO COME TO OUR BOOTH
00:48:52.29\00:48:56.77
ANOTHER NUMBER 404,
IT'S CALLED IMPACT HOPE.
00:48:56.77\00:48:59.83
YOU CAN ALSO FIND OUTS ON
OUR WEBSITE, AT IMPACT-HOPE.ORG.
00:48:59.83\00:49:05.97
AND WE WOULD LOVE TO GROW
THE NUMBERS AND HELP MORE OF OUR
00:49:05.97\00:49:11.98
BROTHERS AND SISTERS
FOR ONLY $50 A MONTH.
00:49:11.98\00:49:16.15
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
00:49:16.15\00:49:20.69
I APPRECIATE YOU ALL
SHARING YOUR STORIES TONIGHT.
00:49:20.69\00:49:28.53
>> I REMEMBER WHEN I WENT TO MY
FIRST ASI CONVENTION, I ACTUALLY
00:49:28.53\00:49:36.91
DIDN'T HAVE ANY
IDEA WHAT ASI EVEN WAS.
00:49:36.91\00:49:40.14
I ONLY WENT BECAUSE I HAD A
FRIEND WHO WAS GOING WHO INVITED
00:49:40.14\00:49:44.65
ME. BUT IT OPENED
MY EYES TO A WORLD
00:49:44.65\00:49:47.45
THAT I DIDN'T KNOW EXISTED.
TO BE HONEST, I DIDN'T KNOW THAT
00:49:47.45\00:49:51.79
THERE ARE ALL OF THE PEOPLE
DOING THESE DIFFERENT THINGS FOR
00:49:51.79\00:49:55.09
THE LORD, AND I MADE A STRONG
-IMPACT ON MY LIFE. IN FACT, I
00:49:55.09\00:50:03.70
CAN TRACE MY FIRST DESIRES TO GO
INTO DOING MORE MINISTRY FOR GOD
00:50:03.70\00:50:12.71
THROUGH ASI, AND PEOPLE I MET
THAT I WOULD HAVE HAD NO IDEA
00:50:12.71\00:50:17.48
ABOUT HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR ASISH.
>> I SENSE A NEED IN OUR CHURCH
00:50:17.48\00:50:24.62
FOR A WAY THAT
PEOPLE CAN COME TOGETHER.
00:50:24.62\00:50:27.12
FOR A PLACE TO
BELONG IN THE CHURCH.
00:50:27.12\00:50:28.96
I FEEL LIKE SOMETIMES IT GETS
PORTRAYED LIKE THE EPITOME OFFED
00:50:28.96\00:50:39.23
A REPRESENT -- ADVENTISM
IS JUST GOING TO CHURCH.
00:50:39.23\00:50:44.54
BUT THERE'S SO
MUCH MORE THAN THAT.
00:50:44.54\00:50:50.05
BUT WHERE DO WE COME TOGETHER?
HOW DO WE GET REINSPIRED AND
00:50:50.05\00:50:54.32
NETWORKED AND GET
THE SUPPORT THAT WE NEED?
00:50:54.32\00:50:56.62
AND I SEE THAT AS A HUGE
NEED. I SEE THAT AS SOMETHING
00:50:56.62\00:51:02.39
THAT -- IF WE COULD FORM
THAT KIND OF NETWORK AND DO THIS
00:51:02.39\00:51:05.66
TOGETHER, THAT ALL OF US COULD
BENEFIT AND GROW AND FEEL LIKE
00:51:05.66\00:51:09.86
WE MEAN SOMETHING IN THE CHURCH.
LIKE WE HAVE A PURPOSE, WE HAVE
00:51:09.86\00:51:13.84
A PLACE IN THE CHURCH. AND
THAT GOD IS GOING TO BE ABLE
00:51:13.84\00:51:20.24
TO USE -- YEAH, NOT JUST THE
PASTORS, NOT JUST THE ELDERS,
00:51:20.24\00:51:25.15
BUT THOSE OF US IN EVERY DAY
LIFE TO DO SOMETHING FOR HIM.
00:51:25.15\00:51:32.39
>> HELLO AGAIN, AND WELCOME TO
THIS SEGMENT OF ASI MEMBERS IN
00:51:32.39\00:51:37.36
ACTION. WHERE WE
ARE LISTENING TO WHAT
00:51:37.36\00:51:39.43
ASI MEMBERS ARE DOING IN
THEIR PART OF GOD'S VINEYARD.
00:51:39.43\00:51:43.77
HAVE YOU ENJOYED THE
STORIES SO FAR THIS EVENING?
00:51:43.77\00:51:46.90
EACH OF THESE GENTLEMEN
REPRESENT DIFFERENT MINISTRIES.
00:51:46.90\00:51:54.41
DON IS THE PRESIDENT AND -- OF
WILDWOOD INSTITUTE AND LIFESTYLE
00:51:54.41\00:52:00.38
CENTER AND CLINIC. WELCOME.
00:52:00.38\00:52:02.22
>> THANK YOU. >>
WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING
00:52:02.22\00:52:05.22
ABOUT WILDWOOD FOR JUST A
MINUTE, BUT BEFORE WE DO THAT, I
00:52:05.22\00:52:09.19
WOULD LIKE TO
MAYBE INTRODUCE YOU.
00:52:09.19\00:52:11.59
AND PERHAPS YOU CAN ELL US
WHERE YOU ARE FROM, AND HOW YOU
00:52:11.59\00:52:14.76
GOT INVOLVED AND HOW LONG YOU
HAVE BEEN INVOLVED AS PRESIDENT
00:52:14.76\00:52:18.30
OF WILDWOOD. I
NOTICED A LITTLE SOUTHERN
00:52:18.30\00:52:22.14
ACCENT IN YOUR SPEECH, BUT NOT
THE KIND THAT YOU WOULD RUN INTO
00:52:22.14\00:52:26.91
HERE IN TEXAS. >> IT
COMES FROM THE DEEP SOUTH.
00:52:26.91\00:52:30.11
>> OKAY. >> SOUTH AFRICA.
00:52:30.11\00:52:31.95
>> OKAY. >> I WAS
BORN TO FARMING PARENTS
00:52:31.95\00:52:34.58
IN SOUTH AFRICA. AT THE
END OF MY HIGH SCHOOL, MY
00:52:34.58\00:52:37.89
FATHER WANTED US
TO GET SOME EDUCATION.
00:52:37.89\00:52:42.16
WENT TO [ INAUDIBLE ]
COLLEGE IN SOUTH AFRICA.
00:52:42.16\00:52:45.16
WHEN WE GRADUATED
THERE, WE WENT FARMING.
00:52:45.16\00:52:48.10
AND THE LORD CONVICTED US TO GET
INVOLVED IN MEDICAL MISSIONARY
00:52:48.10\00:52:52.20
WORK. WORKED IT
OUT THAT WE COULD COME
00:52:52.20\00:52:54.97
TO WILDWOOD AND WE HAVE
BEEN THERE FOR ABOUT 12.5 YEARS.
00:52:54.97\00:52:59.44
>> WONDERFUL. WHAT DO
YOU DO THERE AND WHAT IS
00:52:59.44\00:53:04.75
WILDWOOD? >> IT'S A
MINISTRY OF DEDICATED
00:53:04.75\00:53:09.82
LAY PEOPLE, VOLUNTEERS, TO
SERVICE TRYING TO SPREAD GOD'S
00:53:09.82\00:53:16.46
WORD TO HASTEN HIS RETURN.
>> WE HAVE A LITTLE VIDEO, SO
00:53:16.46\00:53:20.26
PERHAPS IF WE COULD ROLL THAT
VIDEO AT THIS MOMENT, AND IT
00:53:20.26\00:53:23.80
WILL GIVE YOU A GOOD IDEA
AS TO WHAT WILDWOOD IS ABOUT.
00:53:23.80\00:53:27.70
>> THANK YOU. ¤
00:53:27.70\00:53:29.44
>> HIDDEN AMONG THE OUTSKIRTS
OF CHATTANOOGA, THERE IS A PLACE
00:53:29.44\00:53:35.74
CALLED WILDWOOD, A COMMUNITY
OF SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS THAT
00:53:35.74\00:53:40.22
FOCUS ON THE MINISTRY OF
CHRIST BY CLAIMING LIVES FOR HIS
00:53:40.22\00:53:44.22
KINGDOM THROUGH MEDICAL
MISSIONARY WORK, HEALTH
-EVANGELISM, AND SOCIAL
00:53:44.22\00:53:52.93
INTERACTIONS. >> THE
MIND SET OF THE PLACE IS
00:53:52.93\00:53:55.30
BEAUTIFUL. IT'S NOT THE MONEY.
00:53:55.30\00:53:57.27
IT'S THE LOVE, THE
UNDERSTANDING, THE PERSON IN
00:53:57.27\00:54:02.10
GENERAL. THE
PHYSICAL PART AND THE
00:54:02.10\00:54:05.34
SPIRITUAL PART. YOU
CAN'T COME HERE AND NO END
00:54:05.34\00:54:09.18
UP SMILING.
EVERYBODY WAVES AND SAYS HI.
00:54:09.18\00:54:11.71
SO IT'S NEW, AND I LOVE
IT. I HOPE I CAN [ INAUDIBLE ].
00:54:11.71\00:54:16.08
¤ >> WHAT I LOVE
ABOUT WILDWOOD IS
00:54:16.08\00:54:24.23
THAT IT'S SO MUCH MORE THAN
WHAT HAPPENS HERE ON CAMPUS.
00:54:24.23\00:54:28.20
IT MAY START HERE, BUT THEN
PEOPLE GO OUT FROM HERE, AND
00:54:28.20\00:54:31.73
THEY GO OUT AND TEY START
LIFESTYLE CENTERS AND PROJECTS
00:54:31.73\00:54:35.80
AND MISSION WORK, THEY
CHANGE THEIR COMMUNITIES.
00:54:35.80\00:54:38.14
THEY WORK WITH THEIR CHURCHES.
WILDWOOD IS BASICALLY LIKE A
00:54:38.14\00:54:43.24
LUNCHING PAD. IT'S
SOMEWHERE THAT PEOPLE GET
00:54:43.24\00:54:48.42
INSPIRED AND TRAINED AND THEN GO
TO ALL CORNERS OF THE WORLD AND
00:54:48.42\00:54:53.72
DO AMAZING THINGS FOR THE LORD.
>> WILDWOOD IS THE RESULT OF
00:54:53.72\00:54:58.53
MANY MIRACLES. IT'S
ABOUT READING FROM THE
00:54:58.53\00:55:02.80
MIRACLES FROM THE MANY RESOURCES
THAT WE HAVE AVAILABLE.
00:55:02.80\00:55:05.77
THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO
STARTED WILDWOOD HAD A VISION.
00:55:05.77\00:55:09.77
THEY BELIEVED IN MINISTRY THAT
WOULD IMPACT THE WORLD AS WELL
00:55:09.77\00:55:13.27
AS THEY LORD CALL COMMUNITY.
WE ARE NOW LIVING IN THE
00:55:13.27\00:55:18.51
CONFIRMATION OF THAT MISSION.
AS MEDICAL MISSIONARY WORK HAS
00:55:18.51\00:55:25.59
EXTENDED ACROSS THE GLOBE.
>> YOU RECENTLY CELEBRATED
00:55:25.59\00:55:31.66
ANNIVERSARY AT
WILDWOOD. WHAT YEAR WAS IT?
00:55:31.66\00:55:35.03
>> 75 YEARS. >> 75 YEARS.
00:55:35.03\00:55:38.63
THERE HAVE BEEN MANY MIRACLES,
BUT CHALLENGES AS WELL.
00:55:38.63\00:55:42.57
I UNDERSTAND THERE WAS A
CHALLENGE THIS YEAR, BUT YOU
00:55:42.57\00:55:45.61
WERE ABLE TO
OVERCOME IT WITH GOD'S HELP.
00:55:45.61\00:55:49.04
TELL US ABOUT THAT. >> I BELIEVE
WE ARE BLESSED BUT -CHALLENGED.
00:55:49.04\00:55:53.35
AND IS THIS PAST YEAR WE HAVE
HAD CHALLENGES ON OUR EDUCATION
00:55:53.35\00:55:59.49
FUND WITH OUR MEDICAL
MISSION NEIR TRAINING FUND.
00:55:59.49\00:56:04.43
WE WERE SEEKING A VISA, AND
AS WE WERE ASKING QUESTIONS, THE
00:56:04.43\00:56:11.33
STATE TOLD DECIDED
THEY NEEDED TO SHUT US DOWN.
00:56:11.33\00:56:15.70
BUT BY THE LORD'S GRACE WE WERE
ABLE TO GET LEGAL OPINION AND AS
00:56:15.70\00:56:21.74
WE SOUGHT THAT LEGAL OPINION,
WE WERE EVENTUALLY GRANTED RELY
00:56:21.74\00:56:28.35
HOUSE EXEMPTION. >>
YOU SEE THE LORD'S HAND IN
00:56:28.35\00:56:34.36
THAT DECISION? >> AMEN.
00:56:34.36\00:56:35.79
>> AMEN. >> SO THE
EDUCATION DEPARTMENT
00:56:35.79\00:56:38.63
IS BACK UP AND
RUNNING. >> BACK UP AND RUNNING.
00:56:38.63\00:56:41.43
>> AMEN. >> AND
THERE IS A PROJECT THAT
00:56:41.43\00:56:44.23
ASI IS HELPING YOU
WITH. WHAT IS THAT ALL ABOUT?
00:56:44.23\00:56:47.50
>> WE HAVE A COMMUNITY
CENTER THAT WE HAVE STARTED.
00:56:47.50\00:56:51.77
AND WE WERE ABLE
TO START THIS PROJECT.
00:56:51.77\00:56:54.31
WE HAVE HAD MANY CHALLENGES, IN
LOCATION, IN LICENSING, WEATHER,
00:56:54.31\00:56:58.95
BUT WE ARE READY TO ROLL
AND HOPEFULLY BY THE END OF THIS
00:56:58.95\00:57:06.12
SUMMER, WE WILL
HAVE THE WORK DONE.
00:57:06.12\00:57:08.66
SO IT HAS BEEN A REAL BLESSING
AND WE WANT TO THANK ASI FOR THE
00:57:08.66\00:57:13.46
SUPPORT THAT IS
BEING GIVEN TO US.
00:57:13.46\00:57:15.50
>> IN THAT 75 YEARS, AGAIN,
MANY, MANY STORIES THAT COULDN'T
00:57:15.50\00:57:20.24
BE RECOUNTED, BUT PERHAPS
YOU HAVE JUST ONE THATYOU COLD
00:57:20.24\00:57:24.51
SHARE WITH US. >> WE
HAVE SO MANY, AND ON IS
00:57:24.51\00:57:29.18
THIS -- ON THE EDUCATION FRONT
WE HAVE LIVES BEING CHANGED AND
00:57:29.18\00:57:33.95
CHARACTERS BEING FORMED.
WE NEED TO SEE FIRSTHAND GOD'S
00:57:33.95\00:57:39.29
HEALING. AND
MICHELLE WAS EXPERIENCING
00:57:39.29\00:57:41.99
NUMBNESS, TINGLING IN OUR
ARMS, HANDS, FEET AND LEGS, AND
00:57:41.99\00:57:48.13
EVENTUALLY SHE
WAS DIAGNOSED WITH MS.
00:57:48.13\00:57:51.30
AND AFTER A LOT OF MEDICATION, A
HOSPITAL STAY, HE DECIDED HE IS
00:57:51.30\00:57:56.54
DIDN'T WANT TO CONTINUE WITH
THIS FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE.
00:57:56.54\00:58:01.28
SHE DECIDED TO TAKE
THINGS INTO HER OWN HANDS.
00:58:01.28\00:58:05.55
SHE EXPERIENCED HEALING IN
A SIGNIFICANT WAY, BUT A SHORT
00:58:05.55\00:58:09.32
TIME AFTER SHE
STARTED TO SLIP AGAIN.
00:58:09.32\00:58:12.75
HER OWN WORDS, WE CALLED
WILDWOOD AND WITHIN A FEW HOURS
00:58:12.75\00:58:17.46
WE ARRIVED. GOD OPENED THE DOOR.
00:58:17.46\00:58:20.70
IT IS SUCH A BLESSING UNDER
THE CARE OF DOCTORS WHO ARE NOT
00:58:20.70\00:58:25.90
TRYING TO PUSH POISON INTO YOUR
VEINS BUT USE GOD'S HEALING TO
00:58:25.90\00:58:32.47
FACILITATE
HEALING AND RESTORATION.
00:58:32.47\00:58:34.31
AND SHE SAID I APPRECIATE THE
TIME THAT DOCTORS TOOK TIME TO
00:58:34.31\00:58:39.41
PRAY WITH EACH
OF THEIR PATIENTS.
00:58:39.41\00:58:43.12
BEFORE I LEFT WILDWOOD
MY SYMPTOMS HAD ABATED.
00:58:43.12\00:58:46.49
DURING MY TIME, I RECEIVED
NOT ONLY PHYSICAL HEALING, BUT
00:58:46.49\00:58:49.96
ALWAYS EMOTIONAL AND SPIRITUAL
HEALING, AND AS WE LISTEN TO
00:58:49.96\00:58:54.23
THESE TESTIMONIES, IT'S A
HIGHLIGHT EVERY TWO WEEKS IN OUR
00:58:54.23\00:58:58.50
PROGRAM TO HEAR HOW THE LORD
IS ACTIVITY HEALING PEOPLE AND
00:58:58.50\00:59:01.80
CHANGING LYES. >> IT'S
-- THE PHYSICAL HEALING
00:59:01.80\00:59:04.57
IS IMPORTANT. BUT
IT'S THE SPIRITUAL HEALING
00:59:04.57\00:59:08.38
WE'RE REALLY
AFTER. >> THAT'S RIGHT.
00:59:08.38\00:59:10.11
>> IT HAS BEEN A
PLEASURE SPEAKING TO YOU.
00:59:10.11\00:59:16.12
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. >>
PERHAPS YOU COULD TELL ME,
00:59:16.12\00:59:22.22
LET'S SAY FIVE YEARS AGO
WAS BEING THE PRESIDENT OF EDEN
00:59:22.22\00:59:27.86
VALLEY SOMETHING YOU WERE
PLANNING TO DO AND ON THE TOP OF
00:59:27.86\00:59:30.40
YOUR LIST. >>
WELL, FIVE YEARS AGO, NO.
00:59:30.40\00:59:34.17
I -- ONE YEAR
AGO, NO. >> REALLY?
00:59:34.17\00:59:38.37
OKAY. >> IT WAS
NOT ON THE RADAR.
00:59:38.37\00:59:40.24
>> OKAY. TELL
US HOW IT HAPPENED.
00:59:40.24\00:59:43.58
>> WELL, IT KIND OF IS A -- A
LONGER STORY, BUT IT HAPPENED BY
00:59:43.58\00:59:50.15
LISA HODGES COMING TO MY HOUSE
AND ASKING ME TO DO THAT, BUT
00:59:50.15\00:59:53.79
THERE IS KIND OF A LENGTHY
STORY THAT GOES ALONG WITH THAT.
00:59:53.79\00:59:58.56
>> YEAH. WE DON'T
HAVE TIME FOR THE WHOLE
00:59:58.56\01:00:01.56
STORY, OF COURSE, BUT THE
KEY HERE IS, WHEN GOD CALLS, YOU
01:00:01.56\01:00:08.14
NEED TO BE READY TO ANSWER IT.
AND WE DISCUSSED WHAT THAT MEANS
01:00:08.14\01:00:12.21
FOR YOU. >> OKAY.
01:00:12.21\01:00:15.51
WELL-BEING BORN IN AN
SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST HOME AND
01:00:15.51\01:00:19.41
BAPTIZED AT 12, LIKE MANY OF US,
YOU GROW UP BEING A SEVENTH-DAY
01:00:19.41\01:00:23.89
ADVENTIST, BUT REALLY NOT
DEDICATING YOUR LIFE TO THE
01:00:23.89\01:00:26.29
LORD. YOU DO ALL
OF THE RIGHT THINGS,
01:00:26.29\01:00:29.02
BUT YOU DON'T DEDICATE YOURSELF.
AND MY DAD WOULD TELL ME, YOU
01:00:29.02\01:00:33.93
HAVE TO DEDICATE YOURSELF
UNCONDITIONALLY, AND THAT'S THE
01:00:33.93\01:00:38.83
HARD PART, ISN'T
IT? UNCONDITIONALLY?
01:00:38.83\01:00:42.44
THINK ABOUT THAT FOR A SECOND.
WHEN A MILITARY ARMY SURRENDERS
01:00:42.44\01:00:50.25
UNCONDITIONALLY, AND THAT'S
YOUR HEART GIVING IT TO GOD AND
01:00:50.25\01:00:52.85
SAYING WHATEVER YOU
WANT ME TO DO, I WILL DO.
01:00:52.85\01:00:54.95
>> AMEN. WE HAVE A
VIDEO THAT EXPLAINS
01:00:54.95\01:00:58.52
WHAT EDEN VALLEY IS ABOUT, AND
YOU HAVE HAD CHALLENGES IN THE

BUT THE CHALLENGES ARE BIG
01:02:53.13\01:02:57.11
AND EVER CHANGING. IN
2010, EDEN VALLEY OPERATIONS
01:02:57.11\01:03:01.68

MUST BE EXPANDED. MORE
SPACE AND NEW EQUIPMENT
01:03:31.41\01:03:34.94
MEANS WE CAN ACCOMMODATE MORE
GUESTS AND PERFORM TREATMENTS

AND PROGRAMS THAT ARE
NOT POSSIBLE WITH OUR CURRENT
01:03:37.98\01:03:41.25
STRUCTURE. UNTIL
OUR LORD AND SAVIOR
01:03:41.25\01:03:44.19

THEY DID WITH THE SEWER PLANT,
AND THEY SAID WE NEEDED TO MAKE
01:04:19.25\01:04:22.69
A CHANGE. AND THE
CHANGE IS WE NEEDED A
01:04:22.69\01:04:25.26
COMMERCIAL KITCHEN. WE
ARE COOKING THERE, AND IT'S
01:04:25.26\01:04:28.60
NOT LEGAL, IF YOU WILL, AND SO
WE ARE WORKING TOWARDS BUILDING
01:04:28.60\01:04:33.23
A -- A BRAND NEW
COMMERCIAL KITCHEN.
01:04:33.23\01:04:36.67

01:04:43.08\01:04:44.88
OF A STORY ABOUT WHAT IS GOING
ON AND WHAT THE LORD IS DOING AT

EDEN VALLEY RIGHT NOW. >>
YOU SAW ABOUT THE EDUCATION
01:04:49.25\01:04:52.62
DEPARTMENT, STUDENTS LEARNING
TO DO WHAT WE DO THERE AT EDEN
01:04:52.62\01:04:56.66
VALLEY. I'M GOING
TO TELL YOU A QUICK
01:04:56.66\01:05:00.06
STORY AT THE LIFESTYLE CENTER.
THERE WAS A GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT
01:05:00.06\01:05:03.16
CAME -- IT WAS
ABOUT A MONTH AGO.
01:05:03.16\01:05:06.33
WE DO AN OUTREACH SESSION.
AND THERE WAS A MAN THAT TALKED
01:05:06.33\01:05:09.64
TO ME, AND HE SAID I REALLY
DIDN'T HAVE A GOOD PICTURE OF
01:05:09.64\01:05:13.07
GOD. I HAD A
PICTURE IN MY MIND OF
01:05:13.07\01:05:15.58
WHAT GOD WAS LIKE.
BUT AFTER DEALING WITH OUR
01:05:15.58\01:05:18.35
PEOPLE THERE IN THE LIFESTYLE
CENTER AND STUDYING THE BIBLE
01:05:18.35\01:05:22.48
EACH MORNING, HE SAYS NOW I HAVE
A NEW PICTURE OF WHAT GOD IS.
01:05:22.48\01:05:27.39
GOD IS LOVE. THE WAY
THAT YOU TREAT ME HERE,
01:05:27.39\01:05:31.69
SHOWS WHAT GOD IS LIKE, AND SO
HIS COMPLETE PICTURE OF GOD HAS
01:05:31.69\01:05:35.73
CHANGED. I SEE A LOVING GOD.
01:05:35.73\01:05:37.70
A GOD WHO WANTS ME TO
SPENDING ETERNITY WITH HIM.
01:05:37.70\01:05:41.17
>> YEAH, THAT'S THE PICTURE THAT
WE NEED TO LEAVE WITH PEOPLE,
01:05:41.17\01:05:44.91
-ISN'T IT? >> THAT'S
RIGHT. >> WHETHER THEY ARE
01:05:44.91\01:05:48.11
BIBLE-BELIEVING CHRISTIANS,
OR NOT, THEY STILL NEED TO HAVE
01:05:48.11\01:05:51.45
THAT PICTURE. >> AMEN.
01:05:51.45\01:05:53.11
>> JOHN THANK YOU FOR
TALKING TO US THIS EVENING.
01:05:53.11\01:05:55.65

BE. GIVE US AN OVERVIEW.
01:06:44.77\01:06:46.27
>> TWO YEARS AGO, AT THE EUROPE
CONVENTION, WE WENT TO BUDAPEST,
01:06:46.27\01:06:56.08
AND FOUND 3,500 PEOPLE
SLEEPING IN THE TRAIN STATION.
01:06:56.08\01:07:04.29
AND WE PRESENTED TO THE BOARD
AN OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE THESE
01:07:04.29\01:07:08.69
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEEL
IN A TANGIBLE WAY AS THEY WERE
01:07:08.69\01:07:13.73
FLEEING WAR AND TERROR IN SYRIA,
IRAQ, AFGHANISTAN, AND WE HAD NO
01:07:13.73\01:07:18.50
IDEA WHAT WOULD HAPPEN.
THREE MONTHS LATER, WHAT YOU SEE
01:07:18.50\01:07:22.27
HERE IS ADVENTISTS
HELP INITIATIVE WAS CREATED.
01:07:22.27\01:07:26.21
WE ENDED UP WITH A BUS TURNED
INTO A CLINIC ON THE SHORES.
01:07:26.21\01:07:30.61
THIS FACILITY WAS THE ONE AND
ONLY MEDICAL EMERGENCY FACILITY
01:07:30.61\01:07:36.45
ON THAT ISLAND. YOU SEE
THE PICTURE OF THE BOATS
01:07:36.45\01:07:41.52

WE ALL KNOW THAT THOUSANDS
OF PEOPLE HAVE DROWNED ON THEIR
01:07:44.43\01:07:48.06
WAY. LORD LEAD

01:07:48.06\01:07:50.70
MINISTRY.
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN

MINISTERED UNTO.
VOLUNTEERS FROM AROUND THE WORLD
01:07:53.77\01:07:56.77
FLY THEMSELVES. THEY
-- THEY PAY FOR THEMSELVES
01:07:56.77\01:08:00.51
TO BE THERE AND THEY
SERVE THE NEED OF THESE FOLKS.
01:08:00.51\01:08:05.28
WHEN THEY CLOSED TURKEY, THEY
CLOSED THE GATES OF GREECE, THEY
01:08:05.28\01:08:13.12
ASKED US TO ESTABLISH A
FACILITY AT A REFUGEE CAMP.
01:08:13.12\01:08:18.73

>> YES. >> -- I
REMEMBER YOUR DAD.
01:08:28.17\01:08:30.81
HEARD ABOUT ADVENTIST HELP.-HE
SAID CAN ADVENTIST HELP COME TO
01:08:30.81\01:08:36.31
IRAQ? THERE'S A GREAT NEED IN
IRAQ FOR THIS TYPE OF MINISTRY.
01:08:36.31\01:08:40.22
WE KIND OF DREW STICKS TO SEE
WHO WOULD WIN THE TRIP TO IRAQ,
01:08:40.22\01:08:44.62
AND I WON, SO I GOT TO GO TO
IRAQ, AND SHORTLY THEREAFTER, MY
01:08:44.62\01:08:49.59
GOOD FRIEND HERE FROM SOUTH
AFRICA CAME TO SPEAR HEAD THAT
01:08:49.59\01:08:53.90
WORK IN IRAQ. HE -- HE
WAS A GREAT STRENGTH TO
01:08:53.90\01:08:57.37
US IN GREECE, AND SO IN IRAQ,
WHICH YOU ARE GOING TO SEE IS A
01:08:57.37\01:09:03.27
PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE MIDDLE
EAST NORTH AFRICA -- MIDDLE EAST
01:09:03.27\01:09:09.38
NORTH AFRICA, RIGHT? AND
ADRA, AND ADVENTIST HELP AND
01:09:09.38\01:09:15.45
VOLUNTEERS FROM
AROUND THE WORLD.
01:09:15.45\01:09:17.65
>> DOCTOR MAYBE YOU CAN GIVE
US AN IDEA OF WHAT TYPICALLY IS
01:09:17.65\01:09:22.26
GOING ON AT THIS -- WELL, IT'S A
HOSPITAL THERE IN IRAQ, AND ALSO
01:09:22.26\01:09:26.03
HOW DID IT GET GOING
EXACTLY THERE IN THAT -- IN THAT
01:09:26.03\01:09:30.47
VICINITY, AND DID YOU
DO IT ALL BY YOURSELF?
01:09:30.47\01:09:33.23
>> DEFINITELY NOT. THIS
HAS BEEN ONE OF THE MOST
01:09:33.23\01:09:37.67
EXCITING PROJECTS I HAVE
EVER BEEN INVOLVED IN MY MEDICAL
01:09:37.67\01:09:41.78
CAREER. WE CAME TO
IRAQ IN FEBRUARY THIS
01:09:41.78\01:09:45.18
YEAR. I WANTED
TO OPEN UP A SMALL
01:09:45.18\01:09:48.02
CLINIC, AND I WALKED INTO THE
OFFICE AND WE TALKED ABOUT THE
01:09:48.02\01:09:52.75
POSSIBILITIES FOR OPENING UP
THESE UNITS AND COLLABORATING,
01:09:52.75\01:09:56.49
AND FROM THERE
IT JUST SKYROCKETED.
01:09:56.49\01:09:59.69
I DON'T EVEN
KNOW HOW I HAPPENED.
01:09:59.69\01:10:01.46
THE FACILITY WE HAVE ON THE
GROUND NOW IS A 45-BED HOSPITAL,
01:10:01.46\01:10:07.80
A 6-CONSULTATION AND PRIMARY
CARE UNITS AND MENTAL HEALTH
01:10:07.80\01:10:11.14
UNITS, A [ INAUDIBLE ] UNIT
THAT-IS BEING DEVELOPED AT THE
MOMENT, A 9-BED EMERGENCY UNIT,
01:10:11.14\01:10:18.91
AN EXTRA UNIT, ULTRA SOUND AND L
01:10:18.91\01:10:32.86
LAB  BORE TORRE. WE'RE
20 MILES EAST OF THE CITY
01:10:32.86\01:10:40.54
OF MOSUL. SO THOSE
WHO HAVE FOLLOWING WHAT
01:10:40.54\01:10:48.81
IS HAPPENING IN THE MIDDLE
EAST,-pTHIS IS THE STRONG HOLD
OF ISIS. AND CURRENTLY WE --
01:10:48.81\01:10:58.45
THERE IS A CLUSTER OF FIVE CAMPS
WITH COLLECTIVE POPULATIONS OF A
01:10:58.45\01:11:04.63
HUNDRED THOUSAND PEOPLE.
WITH NO ACCESS TO EMERGENCY CARE
01:11:04.63\01:11:10.10
ON THE GROUND. THAT'S
WHERE WE HAVE STEPPED IN
01:11:10.10\01:11:12.87
AND PUT THIS FACILITY TOGETHER.
SO, YEAH, IT'S INCREDIBLE TO BE
01:11:12.87\01:11:18.47
THERE. JUST TO
GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF
01:11:18.47\01:11:20.18
PEOPLE WE'RE DEALING WITH.
THIS IS A POPULATION WHO HAVE
01:11:20.18\01:11:25.01
HAD ABSOLUTELY NO
MEDICAL CARE FOR THREE YEARS.
01:11:25.01\01:11:30.49
WE SEE CHILDREN WHO
HAVE BEEN STARVING TO DEATH.
01:11:30.49\01:11:33.79
THEY HAVE BEEN
LIVING ON RICE WATER.
01:11:33.79\01:11:36.49
THE PARENTS HAVE BEEN
EATING GRASS, AND CAT MEAT.
01:11:36.49\01:11:43.13
THEY HAVE BEEN STARVING.
AND SO WE'RE DEALING WITH
01:11:43.13\01:11:48.34
CHILDREN WITH SEVERE
MALNUTRITION AND PEOPLE WITH
01:11:48.34\01:11:51.27
SEVERE MENTAL HEALTH
ISSUES, PEOPLE WHO HAVE SEEN
01:11:51.27\01:11:56.38
CRUCIFIXIONS ON
A DAY-TO-DAY BASIS.
01:11:56.38\01:11:58.31
PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD
THEIR CHILDREN BEHEADED.
01:11:58.31\01:12:01.32
PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THEIR
BROTHERS AND SISTERS THROWN OFF
01:12:01.32\01:12:04.62
OF BUILDINGS, WHO HAVE BEEN SEX
SLAVES, CHILDREN WHO HAVE BEEN
01:12:04.62\01:12:09.99
ELE ELE
01:12:09.99\01:12:12.49
ELECTRIC -- ELECTROCUTED
AND TORTURED BY ISIS.
01:12:12.49\01:12:17.23
THESE ARE VICTIMS OF TERRORISM.
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL WAY INTO THE
01:12:17.23\01:12:24.94
WINDOW HERE. >>
THIS TYPE OF WORK IS
01:12:24.94\01:12:26.94
SOMETHING THAT YOU
COULD PROBABLY TELL US STORIES
01:12:26.94\01:12:30.61
FOR -- FOR HOURS.
FORTUNATELY WE ONLY HAVE A FEW
01:12:30.61\01:12:39.19
SECONDS LEFT. IF
SOMEONE WANTS TO GET
01:12:39.19\01:12:41.19
INVOLVED, HOW CAN
THEY GET INVOLVED IN
01:12:41.19\01:12:43.16
>> WE HAVE AN ADVENTIST HELP
BOOTH HERE, AND I INVITE YOU TO
01:12:43.16\01:12:48.10
COME AND SEE US. THIS
HAS BEEN A FAITH VENTURE
01:12:48.10\01:12:52.23
FROM DAY ONE. WE
RESPONDED TO A CALL THAT WAS
01:12:52.23\01:12:55.54
PUT BEFORE US, AND IT HAS BEEN
A MIRACLE TO WATCH IT HAPPEN.
01:12:55.54\01:13:00.24
WE NEED VOLUNTEERS FROM AROUND
THE WORLD TO KEEP THIS HOSPITAL
01:13:00.24\01:13:04.21
OPEN. WE WENT
FROM A 40-FOOT CLINIC,
01:13:04.21\01:13:07.95
TO A 45-BED HOSPITAL.
WE HAVE NO ADMINISTRATION.
01:13:07.95\01:13:11.15
WE HAVE NO PAID HELP.
IT'S SIMPLY A MIRACLE THAT WE
01:13:11.15\01:13:15.19
SEE GOD WORKING TO TOUCH THE
LIVES OF PEOPLE AND SHARE THE
01:13:15.19\01:13:19.93
LOVE OF CHRIST
IN A TANGIBLE WAY.
01:13:19.93\01:13:22.86
PLEASE COME BY THE BOOTH OR YOU
CAN VISIT WWW.ADVENTISTHELP.ORG.
01:13:22.86\01:13:33.58
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH GENTLEMEN.
WE KNOW THAT GOD IS BLESSING AND
01:13:33.58\01:13:37.88
WILL CONTINUE TO
BLESS IN THE FUTURE.
01:13:37.88\01:13:39.88
THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> THANK YOU.
01:13:39.88\01:13:42.68
>> I BELIEVE THAT THE GOSPEL
IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL COMPELLING
01:13:42.68\01:13:46.99
THING THERE IS, AND AT TIMES I
DON'T BELIEVE WE COMMUNICATE IT
01:13:46.99\01:13:51.59
AS BEAUTIFULLY AS WE CAN.
SO I DESIGNED FOR MINISTRIES OF
01:13:51.59\01:13:56.77
THE ADVENTIST CHURCH BECAUSE
THE MESSAGE IS BEAUTIFUL.
01:13:56.77\01:14:01.04
>> I THINK ASI IS REALLY
GREAT, BECAUSE IT PROVIDES AN
01:14:01.04\01:14:05.24
OPPORTUNITY FOR ME TO MEET A
BUNCH OF REALLY GREAT PEOPLE WHO
01:14:05.24\01:14:08.84
HAVE BEEN DOING REALLY
INSPIRING WORK IN THE CHURCH.
01:14:08.84\01:14:12.08
AND I WANT TO WORK WITH
ADVENTIST MINISTRIES AND HELP
01:14:12.08\01:14:18.62
THEM WITH WHAT THEY ARE DOING.
IT INSPIRES ME TO BE A BETTER
01:14:18.62\01:14:23.46
CHRISTIAN, AND THAT
IS A REALLY GREAT VALUE.
01:14:23.46\01:14:29.73
>> WE'RE DELIGHTED TO BE HERE
TONIGHT AND TO TALK ABOUT SOME
01:14:29.73\01:14:34.30
FANTASTIC THINGS THAT GOD IS
DOING IN THE LIVES OF PEOPLE WHO
01:14:34.30\01:14:38.07
ARE MINISTERING RIGHT
OUT ON THE FRONT LINES.
01:14:38.07\01:14:40.64
I WANT TO GET RIGHT TO IT.
FRED AND JILL CORNFORTH WITH
01:14:40.64\01:14:45.91
HERE. FRED IS OUR NEW CHAPTER
01:14:45.91\01:14:48.98
PRESIDENT FOR THE NORTH PACIFIC
UNION CONFERENCE OF ASI -- OUR
01:14:48.98\01:14:55.56
ASI CHAPTER UP THERE.
FRED YOU WERE A PART OF ASI
01:14:55.56\01:15:04.53
YEARS AGO, BUT TELL US. >>
YES, THERE HAS BEEN SO MUCH
01:15:04.53\01:15:08.97
GOOD WORK DONE BY ASI
THAT WE FELT DRAWN BACK TO IT.
01:15:08.97\01:15:13.41
AND WE HAVE
BECOME VERY INVOLVED.
01:15:13.41\01:15:15.34
AND WE JUST SEE SO MUCH
POTENTIAL, AND AS YOU CAN TELL
01:15:15.34\01:15:19.05
FROM ALL OF THE OTHER PEOPLE
BEFORE, JUST WONDERFUL MIRACLES
01:15:19.05\01:15:23.39
OF GOD HAPPENING EVERY DAY.
IN BOISE, WHICH IS WHERE OUR
01:15:23.39\01:15:27.06
HOME IS, WE JUST COMPLETED AN
AMEN CLINIC, WHERE WE HAD JUST
01:15:27.06\01:15:32.46
UNDER 1400 PEOPLE THAT CAME OVER
A THREE-DAY PERIOD, AND I THINK
01:15:32.46\01:15:38.27
ONE OF THE MOST REMARKABLE
THINGS TO ME WAS THAT OVER HALF
01:15:38.27\01:15:41.70
OF OUR VOLUNTEERS WERE IN THEIR
20S AND 30S, SO IT WAS A YOUNGER
01:15:41.70\01:15:47.74
GROUP, BUT IT WAS REALLY
REMARKABLE TO SEE THESE PEOPLE
01:15:47.74\01:15:51.11
GETTING INVOLVED IN PEOPLE'S
LIVES, AND MY WIFE HAS SOME
01:15:51.11\01:15:55.42
STORIES THAT SHE
WOULD LIKE TO TELL.
01:15:55.42\01:15:58.62
>> WHAT A PLEASURE IT WAS
TO WORK IN THE MISSION FIELD OF
01:15:58.62\01:16:02.46
BOISE. I KNOW WE
HEAR ABOUT THE MISSION
01:16:02.46\01:16:04.16
FIELD BEING SO FAR AWAY, BUT
REALLY IN OUR HOMETOWNS, YOU CAN
01:16:04.16\01:16:09.63
FIND MISSION
FIELDS WHEREVER YOU LIVE.
01:16:09.63\01:16:12.10
SO YES, IT WAS A PRIVILEGE
FOR US TO SERVE THERE IN THIS
01:16:12.10\01:16:17.74
MEDICAL CLINIC. I'M A
PEDIATRIC NURSE, AND SO I
01:16:17.74\01:16:22.41
GRAVITATE TOWARD TS THE
CHILDREN, AND ONE OF MY STORIES
01:16:22.41\01:16:26.35
IS ABOUT A LITTLE
GIRL WHO'S NAME WAS NAMI.
01:16:26.35\01:16:31.32
AND THERE WERE THREE KIDS, AND A
MOTHER AND FATHER, THAT CAME TO
01:16:31.32\01:16:35.79
BY ATTENTION BECAUSE THEY HAD
WAITED IN LINE FOR FIVE HOURS TO
01:16:35.79\01:16:40.93
FINALLY GET HER DAUGHTER TO
BE SEEN FOR VISION, ONLY TO FINE
01:16:40.93\01:16:44.70
OUT THAT SHE DIDN'T QUITE
MAKE THE AGE BRACKET THAT WE
01:16:44.70\01:16:49.97
ADVERTISED FOR,
AND WERE TURNED AWAY.
01:16:49.97\01:16:52.81
THEY WENT BACK IN LINE AND
WAITED AGAIN, AND WAITED THE
01:16:52.81\01:16:56.21
THREE HOURS TO GET TO DENTAL,
BECAUSE SHE ALSO HAD A TOOTH
01:16:56.21\01:17:00.48
ACHE. SO THEY
MADE IT TO THE FRONT OF
01:17:00.48\01:17:02.18
THE LINE ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT
IT WAS GETTING TO BE THE END OF
01:17:02.18\01:17:05.42
THE DAY, AND THESE PEOPLE WERE
SO GRACIOUS AND -- AND BEAUIFUL
01:17:05.42\01:17:09.32
ABOUT HAVING TO
WAIT THIS WHOLE TIME.
01:17:09.32\01:17:12.09
THEY WEREN'T ANGRY, SO WE ENDED
UP GETTING THEM IN, BECAUSE WE
01:17:12.09\01:17:16.83
REALIZED SHE REALLY NEEDED HER
VISION DONE, WE GOT HER THROUGH
01:17:16.83\01:17:20.84
THE PROCESS REALLY QUICK, AND
SHE WAS JUST SO EXCITED ABOUT
01:17:20.84\01:17:24.74
FINALLY GETTING GLASSES, SHE
JUST SAID, I JUST WANT TO SAY, I
01:17:24.74\01:17:29.01
JUST WANT TO SAY. AND
THEY FOUND OUT SHE HAD SUCH
01:17:29.01\01:17:33.42
HORRIBLE VISION THAT WE
COULDN'T HELP HER THAT DAY
01:17:33.42\01:17:36.42
AND SHE WAS JUST SOBBING,
YOU KNOW, I JUST WANT TO SEE.
01:17:36.42\01:17:40.16
COME TO FIND OUT HER
PARENTS -- HER MOTHER WAS A STAY
01:17:40.16\01:17:43.39
AT HOME MOM, BUT HER DAD
HAD THREE JOBS AND THEY WERE ALL
01:17:43.39\01:17:48.73
PART-TIME, SO THEY DIDN'T HAVE
ANY HEALTH INSURANCE AND SHE
01:17:48.73\01:17:52.10
WASN'T GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET
SCREENED FOR VISION UNTIL SECOND
01:17:52.10\01:17:56.94
GRADE AND SHE
WAS ONLY 6 YEARS OLD.
01:17:56.94\01:17:59.04
SO HE ENDED UP GIVING HER THE
STRONGEST PRESD -- PRESCRIPTION
01:17:59.04\01:18:08.28
GLASSES THAT WE
COULD AND SEND HER HOM.
01:18:08.28\01:18:11.72
SO SHE WAS SO EXCITED.
AND A FEW WEEKS LATER, SHE GOT
01:18:11.72\01:18:16.96
HER REAL GLASSES. SO WE
KNOW THAT WE HELPED THIS
01:18:16.96\01:18:20.73
ONE FAMILY. THEY
CAME BACK THE NEXT DAY AND
01:18:20.73\01:18:24.93
GOT ALL OF THEIR
DENTAL WORK DONE.
01:18:24.93\01:18:28.14
AND ANOTHER SUPER FAST STORE I
HAVE IS WE HAD -- IT SEEMED LIKE
01:18:28.14\01:18:31.57
A LOT OF OUR PEOPLE THAT
CAME FOR THE DENTAL NEEDED
01:18:31.57\01:18:36.54
EXTRACTIONS, AND A LOT OF THEM
HAD JOB INTERVIEWS THAT THEY
01:18:36.54\01:18:42.12
WERE LOOKING FORWARD TO,
AND WANTED TO BE THEIR BEST.
01:18:42.12\01:18:47.79
>> OUR THEME IN BOISE WAS LOVE
HEALS, AND THAT BE THE TITLE OF
01:18:47.79\01:18:55.43
OUR CONVENTION IN
THE SPRING OF 2018.
01:18:55.43\01:18:57.83
BUT WE HAD A HOME THAT OU
COMPANY HAD BUILT THAT WAS ON
01:18:57.83\01:19:01.24
THE MARKET. AND A
REALTOR HAD SHOWN THE HOME
01:19:01.24\01:19:06.68
AND NOTICED THE CRAWL SPACE
COVER WAS NOT QUITE IN PLACE.
01:19:06.68\01:19:12.85
AND AFTER THE SHOWING WENT
BACK AND LOOKED IN THE SPACE AND
01:19:12.85\01:19:17.32
FOUND A SLEEPING
BAG AND CLOTHING.
01:19:17.32\01:19:19.65
AND WE FOUND OUT A YOUNG MAN WHO
WAS 18 YEARS OLD, WHO HAD AGED
01:19:19.65\01:19:24.36
OUT OF THE FOSTER PROGRAM,
HAD NOWHERE ELSE TO LIVE, SO HE
01:19:24.36\01:19:28.90
WOULD LIVE THERE AT NIGHT AND
WHEN HE WOULD GO TO SCHOOL
-DURING THE DAY, HE WOULD PUT
01:19:28.90\01:19:34.90
HIS STUFF IN THE CRAWL SPACE.
SO THAT IMPACTED US, AD WE'RE
01:19:34.90\01:19:39.27
SETTING UP HOMES IN THE AREA
THAT WILL HAVE AN OLDER COUPLE
01:19:39.27\01:19:43.51
THAT WILL HAVE TWO OR THREE OF
THESE KIDS WHO HAVE AGED OUT OF
01:19:43.51\01:19:46.98
THE FOSTER SYSTEM, AND WE'RE
HOPING THEY CAN LIVE THERE FOR
01:19:46.98\01:19:52.85
TWO OR THREE YEARS UNTIL THEY
GET ON THEIR FEET AND HOPEFULLY
01:19:52.85\01:19:56.12
GO TO COLLEGE. IT HAS
BEEN A HUGE BLESSING TO
01:19:56.12\01:20:00.43
US. THERE HAVE BEEN 30 OR SO
01:20:00.43\01:20:03.30
ORPHANAGES THAT WE HAVE HEPED.
AND SOMETIME THERE IS SO MUCH
01:20:03.30\01:20:07.60
NEED. AND I THINK
THAT IS ONE OF THE
01:20:07.60\01:20:10.54
POSITIVE FACTORS AFTER
ASI IS YOU CAN'T DO IT ALONE.
01:20:10.54\01:20:14.78
AND THERE IS SO MUCH
ENCOURAGEMENT WHEN YOU ARE WITH
01:20:14.78\01:20:19.05
PEOPLE WITH LIKE MINDEDNESS
OF BEING A CONDUIT OF LOVE.
01:20:19.05\01:20:26.19
AND WE SEEK OUT PEOPLE THAT
AR LIKE MINDED AND LIKE HEARTED.
01:20:26.19\01:20:31.29
ONE -- TWO LAST LITTLE
THINGS THAT WE'RE INVOLVED WITH
01:20:31.29\01:20:34.60
TOO -- AND I SHOULDN'T SAY
LITTLE, BUT -- I DON'T KNOW IF
01:20:34.60\01:20:38.97
WE HAVE THE SLIDE
ABOUT HUMAN TRAFFICKING.
01:20:38.97\01:20:41.47
THERE ARE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE
THAT ARE CAUGHT UP IN HUMAN
01:20:41.47\01:20:44.74
TRAFFICKING RIGHT NOW, AND ONLY
1% ARE ACTUALLY RESCUED FROM
01:20:44.74\01:20:49.04
THAT ENVIRONMENT.
CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT?
01:20:49.04\01:20:50.98
JUST 1% ARE ACTUALLY RESCUED.
AND WE -- OUR AREA IN BOISE,
01:20:50.98\01:20:56.38
WHICH HAS THE COMMUNITY OF BOISE
ABOUT 700,000 PEOPLE HAS OVER
01:20:56.38\01:21:03.36
70% CHURCH ATTENDANCE, BUT
WE HAVE ONE OF THE HIGHEST HIT
01:21:03.36\01:21:06.56
RATES FOR REPORTED HUMAN
TRAFFICKING, SO EVEN THOUGH YOU
01:21:06.56\01:21:09.63
WOULD THINK IT WOULD BE A
CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY, WE HAVE GOT
01:21:09.63\01:21:12.73
A REAL PROBLEM ON OUR HANDS, AND
WE'RE REACHING OUT AND TRYING TO
01:21:12.73\01:21:16.37
DO SOMETHING THERE AS WELL.
>> SO FRED AND JILL, YOU ARE
01:21:16.37\01:21:20.64
ACTUALLY IN THE BUSINESS
OF COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE.
01:21:20.64\01:21:23.68
>> THAT'S CORRECT. >>
BUT YOU ARE FINDING EVERY WAY
01:21:23.68\01:21:26.65
THAT YOU CAN DO TO
MINISTRY EVERY MINUTE.
01:21:26.65\01:21:31.25
AMEN. THAT'S AWESOME.
01:21:31.25\01:21:36.26
DEE, IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT
YOU GREW UP IN THE SHADOW OF A
01:21:36.26\01:21:41.73
BIG SATELLITE DISH? >>
YEAH, I GREW UP 25 TO 30
01:21:41.73\01:21:47.37
MILES AWAY FROM
THE HEADQUARTERS.
01:21:47.37\01:21:49.87
AND I FOUND IT ON
TELEVISION IN THE FALL OF 2006.
01:21:49.87\01:21:54.91
>> SO THE TELEVISION STATION
NEXT DOOR YOU DISCOVERED IN
01:21:54.91\01:22:00.72
2006. SO WHAT DID
YOU START WATCHING.
01:22:00.72\01:22:05.85
>> DOUG'S MOST AMAZING PROPHET
SERIES WAS THE FIRST THING.
01:22:05.85\01:22:10.39
I REMEMBER THINKING I HAVE NEVER
HEARD THIS BEFORE, BUT THAT WAS
01:22:10.39\01:22:16.70
WHAT I WAS HEARING.
AND I WENT TO FIND ANYTHING
01:22:16.70\01:22:23.37
AFTER THAT. >> YOU
WERE BAPTIZED WHEN?
01:22:23.37\01:22:27.44
>> 2010. >> THEN
YOU HAVE BECOME INVOLVED
01:22:27.44\01:22:33.11
IN MINISTRY. IN
MARKET I BELIEVE YOU ARE NOW
01:22:33.11\01:22:36.55
LEADING A MINISTRY
RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO 3ABN.
01:22:36.55\01:22:39.49
>> YEAH, WE'RE ACTUALLY
LOCATED ON MIRACLE LANE.
01:22:39.49\01:22:48.00
UNSEEN MEDIA GROUP
IS WHO WE WORK FOR.
01:22:48.00\01:22:51.20
WE'RE A PROFESSIONAL FILM-MAKING
ORGANIZATION, SO WE CREATE
01:22:51.20\01:22:55.97
CONTENT INTERNALLY.
BUT THIS PICTURE HERE HAS
01:22:55.97\01:23:01.21
DEVOTIONAL PICTURES THAT WE HAVE
BEEN PRODUCING THROUGH FACEBOOK.
01:23:01.21\01:23:04.08
THERE IS A PICTURE WE HAVE AFTER
THIS, OF A COOKING PROGRAM WE
01:23:04.08\01:23:07.68
DID FOR A PHYSICIAN HERE IN
TEXAS, AND SHE HAS A TELEVISION
01:23:07.68\01:23:13.42
PROGRAM ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO
GET HEALTHY AND HOW TOE USE FOOD
01:23:13.42\01:23:17.56
AS MEDICINE. SO WE
FILMED SOME PROGRAMS THAT
01:23:17.56\01:23:24.23
SHE HAS. WE HAVE
DONE STUFF FOR NET
01:23:24.23\01:23:28.70
SCHOOL EVANGELISM. SO
THAT'S THE INDUSTRY THAT WE
01:23:28.70\01:23:31.67
USED TO RAISE FUNDS TO
DO A LOT OF MINISTRIES.
01:23:31.67\01:23:35.04
SO WE DO FILM MAKING
PROFESSIONALLY, BUT OUR BURDEN
01:23:35.04\01:23:38.71
IS TO RAISE FUNDS INTERNALLY
TO BE ABLE TO DO A LOT OF
01:23:38.71\01:23:43.28
MINISTRIES. OUR
BURDEN IS TO MAKE CONTEND TO
01:23:43.28\01:23:47.72
REACH YOUNG PEOPLE THAT IS
PRINCIPLED AND CHRIST-CENTERED
01:23:47.72\01:23:51.76
AND MODERN. BUT
WE ALSO HAVE TRAINING
01:23:51.76\01:23:55.20
PROGRAMS TO EQUIP
PEOPLE TO DO MEDIA.
01:23:55.20\01:23:59.17
WE HAVE 13 TO 17 YEAR OLDS
FOR TWO WEEKS IN THE SUMMER.
01:23:59.17\01:24:04.87
THEY GET A CHANCE TO
PRODUCE THEIR OWN FILM.
01:24:04.87\01:24:10.11
WE TEACH THEM TO WRITE A SCRIPT,
HOW TO FILM IT, ED IT DIGIT, AND
01:24:10.11\01:24:20.39
CUT IT. AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE A
01:24:20.39\01:24:24.16
NINE-MONTH INTERNSHIP
TRAINING PROGRAM CALLED IDEA.
01:24:24.16\01:24:25.99
THIS IS ONE OF OUR INTERNS
ACTUALLY GIVING A DEVOTIONAL,
01:24:25.99\01:24:32.00
AND THE NEXT PICTURE IS OF SMALL
GROUPS HAPPENING WHERE WE HAD A
01:24:32.00\01:24:37.31
YOUTH EVENT CALLED WAR PLANS,
BASICALLY TRAINING CHURCHES TO
01:24:37.31\01:24:41.88
START SMALL GROUPS AND
PARTICULARLY TO GROW THEIR YOUTH
01:24:41.88\01:24:45.28
GROUPS IN THEIR COMMUNITY.
AND THEN THEY BREAK INTO SMALL
01:24:45.28\01:24:49.88
GROUPS AND START
TO DIGEST EVEN MORE.
01:24:49.88\01:24:52.72
AND THEN WE LEAVE THEM WITH
MATERIALS TO WATCH TOGETHER AND
01:24:52.72\01:24:57.76
DO SMALL GROUPS TO
GROW THEIR YOUTH GROUP.
01:24:57.76\01:25:00.96
THE IDEA PROGRAM, THE NINE-MONTH
TRAINING PROGRAM IS BASICALLY
01:25:00.96\01:25:05.40
LIKE FILM SCHOOL AND A SCHOOL OF
EVANGELISM PUT TOGETHER, SO HOW
01:25:05.40\01:25:13.41
TO GIVE A BIBLE STUDY, HOW TO
SHARE THEY FAITH, WE TEACH THEM
01:25:13.41\01:25:17.81
ALL OF THAT. SO
IT'S NOT JUST SITTING IN
01:25:17.81\01:25:21.45
CLASSROOM ALL DAY LEARNING,
IT'S VERY, VERY HANDS ON.
01:25:21.45\01:25:25.15
WHEN WE TRAVEL AND DO FILMINGS
FOR GYC AND OTHERS, OUR GIRLS
01:25:25.15\01:25:31.19
ACTUALLY FILMED THAT
AND DID THE EDITING FOR IT.
01:25:31.19\01:25:35.23
YOU GET HANDS ON PROJECTS.
IT'S AN AWESOME OPPORTUNITY,
01:25:35.23\01:25:38.80
REALLY EXCITED FOR IT. SO
THAT'S THE MINISTRY SIDE OF
01:25:38.80\01:25:43.00
IT. WE DO
CHURCHES, WEEKENDS, WEEK
01:25:43.00\01:25:45.41
OF PRAYERS, AND ANY
YOUTH EVENTS, THANKS LIKE THAT.
01:25:45.41\01:25:49.51
THAT'S ONE OF OUR BIGGEST
BURDENS, NOT JUST TO MAKE
01:25:49.51\01:25:52.71
CONTENT BUT ALSO BE
INVOLVED IN PERSONAL MINISTRY.
01:25:52.71\01:25:57.19
AND SINCE AUGUST OF 2015,
SOMEONE WOULD GET AN DVD OF A
01:25:57.19\01:26:05.79
SERMON I MADE LOCALLY. SO
THIS HAS ALLOWED US TO DO A
01:26:05.79\01:26:09.83
LOT OF PERSONAL
MINISTRY AND OTHER THINGS.
01:26:09.83\01:26:12.53
SO AN OPPORTUNITY THAT CAME
FROM THIS, WAS I PREACHED IN A
01:26:12.53\01:26:16.20
CHURCH, AND A FAMILY
MEMBER GAVE THEM THE DVD.
01:26:16.20\01:26:21.21
AND THIS PERSON HAS WRESTLES
WITH HOMOSEXUALITY FOR YEARS
01:26:21.21\01:26:26.18
SINCE THEY WERE A YOUNG PERSON.
AND THEY HEARD THIS MESSAGE, AND
01:26:26.18\01:26:29.82
THEY HAD THE MOST PROFOUND
RESPONSE TO THE GOSPEL I HAVE
01:26:29.82\01:26:34.12
EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE, AND THEY
COULD NOT TURN THIS MESSAGE OFF.
01:26:34.12\01:26:38.46
THEY LITERALLY PUT
IT ON REPEAT FOR DAYS.
01:26:38.46\01:26:43.30
THEY EVEN LEFT THIS THING
PLAYING FOR THEIR DOGS TO LISTEN
01:26:43.30\01:26:46.97
TO WHEN THEY LEFT THEIR HOUSE.
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HIS LIFE,
01:26:46.97\01:26:50.64
HE SAW HE COULD BE SAVED.
HE HAD AN AWFUL EXPERIENCE IN
01:26:50.64\01:26:55.31
ANOTHER CHURCH, AND HAD RECEIVED
A WHOLE LOT OF SCRUTINY AND
01:26:55.31\01:26:59.78
UNBELIEF BEING HEAVED UPON HIM
BY CHRISTIANS, AND SO HE THOUGHT
01:26:59.78\01:27:04.95
THIS IS THE WAY CHRISTIANS FEEL
ABOUT ME, THIS MUST BE THE WAY
01:27:04.95\01:27:08.66
THAT GOD FEELS ABOUT ME.
BUT HE SAW THAT GOD IS NOT HATE
01:27:08.66\01:27:13.66
AND ACTUALLY CARES FOR
ME. AND HE SAID THAT MESSAGE
01:27:13.66\01:27:19.60
SEPARATED ME FROM BEING GAY.
IT LITERALLY SEPARATED HIM FROM
01:27:19.60\01:27:25.14
A FORMER IDENTITY THAT HE HAD
HAD, AND HE SAID FOR THE FIRST
01:27:25.14\01:27:29.41
TIME IN MY LIFE I SAW I DON'T
HAVE TO IDENTIFY MYSELF AS A
01:27:29.41\01:27:36.02
HOMOSEXUAL. AND JUST
AN AMAZING STORY THAT
01:27:36.02\01:27:39.39
HAS CONTINUED TO STRENGTHEN MY
FAITH IN THE GOSPEL AND TO KNOW
01:27:39.39\01:27:43.73
THAT BECAUSE OF THE WORK GOD HAS
ALLOWED US TO DO IN FILM MAKING,
01:27:43.73\01:27:49.40
WE CAN DO THIS
ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.
01:27:49.40\01:27:52.40
>> SO THERE ARE TWO REALLY GOOD
PASSIONS -- TWO REALLY STRONG
01:27:52.40\01:27:56.00
PASSIONS YOU
HAVE. ONE IS TRAINING.
01:27:56.00\01:27:57.87
>> YEAH. >> YOU
WANT TO TRAIN OTHER
01:27:57.87\01:28:00.08
PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY YOUNG
PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO UTILIZE THE
01:28:00.08\01:28:04.08
PASSION THAT GOD HAS GIVEN THEM,
BUT YOU ARE ALSO REACHING OUT
01:28:04.08\01:28:07.42
AND TOUCHING SPECIFIC
PEOPLE THROUGH YOUR MINISTRY.
01:28:07.42\01:28:12.69
>> YES, 100%. >> THAT'S AWESOME.
01:28:12.69\01:28:15.66
THANK YOU. >>
DHANG  -- THANK YOU.
01:28:15.66\01:28:21.76
>> IT'S MY PLEASURE
TO INTRODUCE RAWDEEM.
01:28:21.76\01:28:26.97
HE COMES FROM THE CITY
OF PRAGUE, CZECH REPUBLIC.
01:28:26.97\01:28:35.04
AND HE MAKES HIS
LIVING IN REAL ESTATE.
01:28:35.04\01:28:38.01
BUT SEVERAL YEARS AGO YOU
DISCOVERED THAT YOUR PASSION WAS
01:28:38.01\01:28:42.58
TO SEE PEOPLE COME TO CHRIST AND
EVANGELISM, AND YOU HEARD ABOUT
01:28:42.58\01:28:47.76
A PROGRAM CALED NEW BEGINNINGS,
AND I WANT YOU TO TELL US A
01:28:47.76\01:28:52.13
LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW YOU HAVE
USED NEW BIN GIN -- BEGINNINGS
01:28:52.13\01:29:00.04
WHICH IS THE DVD PROJCT WHERE
WE TEACH LAY PEOPLE TO PREACH
01:29:00.04\01:29:04.24
SERMONS. YOU HAVE
USED THAT EXTENSIVELY
01:29:04.24\01:29:08.11
IN PRAGUE. TELL US ABOUT IT.
01:29:08.11\01:29:11.15
>> GOOD EVENING. WE
WOULD LIKE TO THANK ASI
01:29:11.15\01:29:17.29
FAMILY FOR THE
AMAZING TOOL NW BEGINNING.
01:29:17.29\01:29:20.42
ONE OF THE WAYS WE USE THIS IS
PUBLIC MEETINGS, TYPICALLY FIVE
01:29:20.42\01:29:25.99
TIMES A WEEK. WE
ARE DOING ONCE A YEAR.
01:29:25.99\01:29:28.90
AND WE STARTED ABOUT ONE AND
A HALF YEAR AGO TO DO SOMETHING
01:29:28.90\01:29:32.50
FOR THE BUSINESS PEOPLE, BECAUSE
BUSINESS PEOPLE VERY READILY CAN
01:29:32.50\01:29:39.01
ATTEND ALL OF THESE
MEETINGS, FIVE TIMES A WEEK.
01:29:39.01\01:29:42.24
SO WE DECIDED TO PREPARE FOR
PEOPLE FROM BUSINESS COMMUNITY
01:29:42.24\01:29:45.98
DURING THREE DAYS, ALL 26
LECTURES, PLUS LIFE STORY OF THE
01:29:45.98\01:29:52.19
PREACHER. >> THAT'S AWESOME.
01:29:52.19\01:29:53.22
SO TWO WAYS -- I JUST WANT TO
POINT OUT, THE TRADITIONAL WAY
01:29:53.22\01:29:58.73
OF PREACHING YOU HAVE
USED, BUT ALSO THE INTENSIVE.
01:29:58.73\01:30:02.73
AND THAT
INTENSIVE IS SOMETHING NEW.
01:30:02.73\01:30:05.47
WE HAVE ALSO BEEN VERY IMPRESSED
WATCHING THAT THREE-DAY
01:30:05.47\01:30:09.64
INTENSIVE. YOU
HAVE TESTED THAT OUT.
01:30:09.64\01:30:11.14
SOMETIMES THE EUROPEANS LEAD THE
WAY, AND WE'RE GLAD FOR THAT.
01:30:11.14\01:30:15.14
BUT THERE WAS AN
EXPERIENCE THAT YOU HAD.
01:30:15.14\01:30:18.51
YOU TOOK A GROUP DOWN TO
TANZANIA, AND YOU WERE GOING TO
01:30:18.51\01:30:22.88
DO A MISSION TRIP FROM CENTRAL
EUROPE, AND YOU WERE GOING TO GO
01:30:22.88\01:30:32.89
ON THAT PROJECT. TELL
US HOW YOU AND RICHARD GOT
01:30:32.89\01:30:36.10
INVOLVED IN THIS. >>
I WORKED WITH RICHARD'S
01:30:36.10\01:30:39.70
FATHER A LONG TIME FOR PRIVATE
VIDEOS AND THE CORPORATION
01:30:39.70\01:30:43.37
VIDEOINGS FOR US, AND HIS FATHER
ASKED ME BEFORE WE WENT TO
01:30:43.37\01:30:49.68
TANZANIA TO TAKE ALSO HIS
SON WITH US AND MY DECISION WAS
01:30:49.68\01:30:54.08
IMMEDIATE, BECAUSE I HOPE IT
WOULD BE GREAT EXPERIENCE FOR
01:30:54.08\01:30:57.49
HIM. >> OKAY.
01:30:57.49\01:30:58.62
NOW RICHARD, YOU -- I WANT
TO DIRECT A QUESTION TO YOU NOW.
01:30:58.62\01:31:02.22
YOU GOT TO GO ON THIS TRIP.
WHAT WAS YOUR SITUATION RIGHT AT
01:31:02.22\01:31:06.49
THAT TIME IN YOUR LIFE? >>
WELL, DAN, MY SITUATION -- I
01:31:06.49\01:31:10.87
CAN TELL YOU AT THAT
TIME, I WAS A BIG MESS.
01:31:10.87\01:31:14.34
I WAS A BIG WRECK. IN MY
HIGH SCHOOL YEARS I ENDED
01:31:14.34\01:31:18.71
UP EXPERIMENTING WITH DRUGS
ANDENED UP BEING ADDICTED FOR
01:31:18.71\01:31:22.84
ABOUT TEN YEARS OF MY LIFE, AND
RIGHT AROUND THE TIME THAT I MET
01:31:22.84\01:31:29.78
RADEEM WAS ABOUT THE TIME THAT
MY MOM HAD ENOUGH OF ME HERE IN
01:31:29.78\01:31:33.99
THE UNITED STATES, AND SHE
SAID GO BACK AND WORK WITH YOUR
01:31:33.99\01:31:37.53
FATHER, MAYBE
WE'LL STRAIGHTEN YOU OUT.
01:31:37.53\01:31:39.89
SO THINKING THAT I WOULD JUST GO
BACK TO THE CZECH REPUBLIC AND
01:31:39.89\01:31:43.53
KIND OF ESCAPE THIS ADDICTION.
IN THAT DID NOT HAPPEN.
01:31:43.53\01:31:48.44
IT GOT WORSE. I
ENDED UP USING HEROIN AND
01:31:48.44\01:31:53.27
METHAMPHETAMINES OVER THERE.
I DID END UP MEETING RADEEM, AND
01:31:53.27\01:31:59.55
SOME OF THE FIRST WORK WE HAD
THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO WAS THE
01:31:59.55\01:32:02.95
NEW BEGINNINGS. AND
WHEN WE STARTED THE NEW
01:32:02.95\01:32:06.42
BEGINNINGS, AND STARTED SEEING
SOME VERY REVOLUTIONARY THINGS
01:32:06.42\01:32:10.63
THAT I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF.
I HEARD OF JESUS BEFORE, BUT
01:32:10.63\01:32:15.26
MAYBE AS A MYTHICAL CHARACTER.
BUT THE THINGS THAT I HEARD
01:32:15.26\01:32:18.73
THERE, THE WHOLE 25 LECTURES WE
HAD, I MEAN, MY WHOLE WORLD GOT
01:32:18.73\01:32:25.04
FLIPPED UPSIDE DOWN. SO
THAT WAS THE BEGINNING OF
01:32:25.04\01:32:28.38
MAYBE SOME SORT OF AT
LEAST MENTAL TRANSFORMATION.
01:32:28.38\01:32:31.71
SO SOON ENOUGH, I HEARD THE
THEORY, BECAUSE I DID THREE OF
01:32:31.71\01:32:35.78
THOSE SEMINARS, AND AFTER
THAT -- BUT MY ADDICTION KEPT
01:32:35.78\01:32:39.65
GETTING WORSE AND WORSE.
I MEAN, I WAS JUST A WRECK.
01:32:39.65\01:32:43.83
I COULD STILL VIDEOTAPE AND
FUNCTION AND ALL OF THAT, BUT AS
01:32:43.83\01:32:48.53
LONG AS I HAD MY DOSE.
THAT WAS MY PRIORITY AT THAT
01:32:48.53\01:32:51.67
TIME. THAT WAS MY GOD.
01:32:51.67\01:32:53.00
MY FATHER NEW OF THAT, SO HE
ASKED RADEEM, HE SAID LOOK, CAN
01:32:53.00\01:32:58.77
I TAKE MY SON WITH ME TO
TANZANIA, AND MAYBE THAT WILL
01:32:58.77\01:33:03.48
HAVE AN INFLUENCE, BECAUSE
WE WAS HOPE LESSL  WITH ME.
01:33:03.48\01:33:13.25
>> SO WE HAVE RISK TAKERS.
ONE OF THE THINGS ABOUT ASI
01:33:13.25\01:33:17.93
BUSINESS PEOPLE
HAVE TO BE RISK TAKERS.
01:33:17.93\01:33:20.80
SO YOU TOOK A RISK THAT THIS GUY
COULD COME AND STILL CONTRIBUTE,
01:33:20.80\01:33:26.20
RIGHT? ARE YOU
GLAD YOU TOOK THAT RISK?
01:33:26.20\01:33:28.47
>> WE'RE ALL
RISKY PEOPLE FOR JESUS.
01:33:28.47\01:33:31.71
>> THAT'S RIGHT. SO
YOU WERE GRATEFUL THAT WE
01:33:31.71\01:33:34.24
TOOK THE RISK ON YOU, AND
YOU RECOGNIZED THAT HE TOOK THE
01:33:34.24\01:33:38.15
RISK. >> YEAH, IT
WAS A BIG RISK, BUT
01:33:38.15\01:33:41.22
I WAS THERE FOR ABOUT ONE MONTH,
AND THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT
01:33:41.22\01:33:44.29
I WAS ACTUALLY IN A COMMUNITY
WITH SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST FOR
01:33:44.29\01:33:48.22
ONE MONTH. I MEAN,
COULDN'T GO ANYWHERE,
01:33:48.22\01:33:50.79
AND I MET THIS OTHER GUY, BILL,
AND HE WENT THROUGH AN ADDICTION
01:33:50.79\01:33:55.26
AS WELL, SO I TALKED TO HIM,
AND HE WAS THE FIRST PERSON I
01:33:55.26\01:33:59.77
ACTUALLY OPENED UP TO, BECAUSE
AT THAT TIME I WAS KIND OF
01:33:59.77\01:34:02.64
HIDING IT. I WAS
EMBARRASSED ABOUT IT.
01:34:02.64\01:34:07.54
AL-BILL, WAS LIKE I WAS AN
ADDICT AS WELL, WITH MY WIFE,
01:34:07.54\01:34:12.91
BUT WE GAVE OURSELVES TO THE
LORD, AND FROM THAT TIME IT WAS
01:34:12.91\01:34:16.69
JUST GONE. THEY
TELL YOU AT ALL OF THESE
01:34:16.69\01:34:19.85
MEETINGS AT AA AND ALL OF THAT,
LIKE YOU ARE AN ADDICT FOR LIFE.
01:34:19.85\01:34:25.13
AND HE WAS LIKE JUST
GIVE YOURSELF OVER TO JESUS.
01:34:25.13\01:34:28.20
JUST TALK TO HIM. PRAY.
01:34:28.20\01:34:29.60
SO I WENT BACK TO THE
CZECH REPUBLIC AFTER THIS WHOLE
01:34:29.60\01:34:33.70
INSPIRING MOMENT, AND IT TOOK ME
STILL ABOUT ANOTHER TWO YEARS,
01:34:33.70\01:34:38.91
AND I WENT TO REHAB THERE,
AND I DID JUST THAT WHEN THE BIG
01:34:38.91\01:34:44.28
WITHDRAWAL CAME THROUGH, BECAUSE
I WENT THROUGH SEVEN YEARS OF
01:34:44.28\01:34:47.55
OPIATES, AND I CAN
TELL YOU IT'S ROUGH.
01:34:47.55\01:34:50.15
SO OVER IN THE DETOX, I SAID
LORD, IF YOU ARE OUT THERE AND
01:34:50.15\01:34:53.76
LISTENING TO ME, LIKE ALL OF
THESE PEOPLE SAID THAT YOU WERE,
01:34:53.76\01:34:56.96
I PROMISE, I WILL GO THE RIGHT
-pWAY, JUST GET ME OUT OF THIS
SITUATION, AND I CAN TELL YOU
01:34:56.96\01:35:02.33
THE NEXT DAY HE
DID JUST THAT. >> AMEN.
01:35:02.33\01:35:06.40
I WANT YOU ALL TO
KNOW -- YEAH, GO AHEAD.
01:35:06.40\01:35:10.74
[ APPLAUSE ] >> EXPRESS IT.
01:35:10.74\01:35:12.44
THERE IS A TWO-PART FORMULA THAT
RICHARD HAS SHARED AND I WANT
01:35:12.44\01:35:18.08
ALL OF YOU BOTH -- THOSE OF YOU
WATCHING FROM HOME, THOSE OF YOU
01:35:18.08\01:35:21.58
IN THE AUDIENCE, YOU MAY
HAVE STRUGGLED WITH ADDICTIONS
01:35:21.58\01:35:25.82
YOURSELF. YOU MAY
HAVE A FAMILY MEMBER
01:35:25.82\01:35:29.29
THAT STRUGGLES
WITH ADDICT SHUNS.
01:35:29.29\01:35:33.50
ADDICTIONS ARE EVERYWHERE IN
OUR SOCIETY.-BUT THIS MAN HAD A
01:35:33.50\01:35:39.67
TWO-PRONGED APPROACH. ONE
WAS GIVE YOUR HEART TO JESUS
01:35:39.67\01:35:43.54
AND PRAY. AND SECONDLY YOU GOT
01:35:43.54\01:35:46.27
PROFESSIONAL HELP AD WENT
INTO REHAB, AND THE PRAYERS WERE
01:35:46.27\01:35:49.71
ANSWERED AND YOU HAVE HAD AN
INCREDIBLE JOURNEY SINCE THAT
01:35:49.71\01:35:53.82
TIME. I WANT TO TALK ABOUT YOUR
01:35:53.82\01:35:56.48
JOURNEY. OKAY?
01:35:56.48\01:35:57.42
NOW IN THAT JOURNEY SINCE YOU
HAD THAT VICTORY AND YOU BEGAN,
01:35:57.42\01:36:02.76
YOUR LIFE HAS BEEN
FULL OF ALL KINDS OF THINGS.
01:36:02.76\01:36:05.73
TELL US ABOUT THAT. >> OKAY.
01:36:05.73\01:36:07.86
SO THE FIRST THING WAS AFTER
THIS MIRACULOUS HEALING THAT
01:36:07.86\01:36:12.87
CAME ABOUT -- AND THIS
WAS JUST AFTER ONE PRAYER.
01:36:12.87\01:36:16.00
I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING ELSE.
THE NEXT DAY, I FELT LIKE I WAS
01:36:16.00\01:36:20.24
MAYBE TEN YEARS YOUNGER, AND I
HAD THIS TINGLE IN MY SPINE AND
01:36:20.24\01:36:24.38
I JUST KNEW THAT
THIS WAS THE WAY.
01:36:24.38\01:36:27.48
EVERYTHING JUST CLICKED
FROM WHAT I LEARNED FROM THE NEW
01:36:27.48\01:36:32.09
BEGI BEGINNINGS,
AND EVERYTHING JUST
01:36:32.09\01:36:35.92
CLICKED. I WENT
OUT OF THERE AND I'M
01:36:35.92\01:36:38.83
LIKE, I'M DRUG FREE FOR LIFE.
AND PEOPLE WERE DOUBING ME AND
01:36:38.83\01:36:42.10
ALL OF THAT, BUT I NEW ALREADY
IN MY HEART THAT ONCE I FOLLOWED
01:36:42.10\01:36:49.40
JESUS HE WILL BE
ABLE TO GET ME OUT.
01:36:49.40\01:36:52.27
AND I WAS LIKE WHAT
I WAS DOING WAS BAD.
01:36:52.27\01:36:55.88
AND I NEED TO GO THE WHOLE
OPPOSITE DIRECTION AS FAR AWAY
01:36:55.88\01:37:01.25
AS I CAN. AND I WAS
LIKE THE BEST THING TO
01:37:01.25\01:37:04.02
DO IS FOLLOW JEUS. I
MEAN HE WAS THE DEFINITION OF
01:37:04.02\01:37:08.09
GOOD. >> YEAH.
01:37:08.09\01:37:08.86
>> SO I DID JUST THAT AND
FROM THEN ON, I FIGURED -- I WAS
01:37:08.86\01:37:13.26
LIKE, I GOT TO TELL
MORE PEOPLE ABOUT THIS.
01:37:13.26\01:37:16.10
IF I WOULD HAVE KNOWN THIS
EARLIER, I WOULD HAVE DONE THIS
01:37:16.10\01:37:18.93
WAY BACK.-SO I ENDED UP GOING
BACK TO THE REHAB, BECAUSE THERE
01:37:18.93\01:37:25.57
ARE THESE AA MEETINGS THAT
YOU ARE ALLOWED TO GO BACK TO,
01:37:25.57\01:37:33.31
PRAGUE'S FINEST. AND I WAS ABLE
TO GO BACK OVER THERE, AND SHARE
01:37:33.31\01:37:36.62
MY TESTIMONY WITH THEM.
DURING THE WINTER TIME I GO
01:37:36.62\01:37:39.82
THERE AT LEAST
ONCE A WEEK. >> OKAY.
01:37:39.82\01:37:42.22
LAST QUESTION, IF YOU -- LOTS
OF PEOPLE ARE LISTENING TO YOU
01:37:42.22\01:37:45.46
RIGHT NOW, AND YOUR TESTIMONY
IS A VERY POWERFUL ONE, RICHARD.
01:37:45.46\01:37:49.90
IF YOU CAN SAY ANYTHING TO
ANYBODY WHO MIGHT BE WATCHING,
01:37:49.90\01:37:53.70
WHAT WOULD YOU SAY? >> OKAY.
01:37:53.70\01:37:55.90
I WOULD SAY THAT -- YOU DO
HAVE TO UNDERSTAND IT'S REALLY
01:37:55.90\01:37:59.21
DIFFICULT WITH ADDICT S.
I MEAN YOU CAN'T TRUST THEM,
01:37:59.21\01:38:05.91
WHICH WAS WHY I WAS
SURPRISED THAT RADEEM DID.
01:38:05.91\01:38:11.75
I WAS VERY UNRELIABLE. I
WOULD SAY TO THEM, DEFINITELY
01:38:11.75\01:38:15.82
HAVE COMPASSION
AND A LOT OF LOVE.
01:38:15.82\01:38:18.26
THE TRUST PART -- YOU ALWAYS
HAVE TO KEEP AN EYE OUT, BUT THE
01:38:18.26\01:38:23.06
PRAYER IS REALLY IMPORTANT.
BECAUSE I KNOW THAT RADEEM AND A
01:38:23.06\01:38:28.10
BUNCH OF PEOPLE WERE PRAYING
FOR-ME, BECAUSE MY DAD REACHED
OUT TO THEM, SO THE PRAYER IS
01:38:28.10\01:38:34.21
DEFINITELY VERY IMPORTANT, AND
LIKE YOU SAID IN THE BEINNING, I
01:38:34.21\01:38:39.05
MEAN THE INVOLVEMENT IN THE
COMMUNITY WAS VERY STRONG FOR
01:38:39.05\01:38:42.05
ME. YOU CAN
HEAR A LOT OF THINGS,
01:38:42.05\01:38:44.65
LET'S SAY, ON THE STREET,
BUT WHEN YOU INVOLVE SOMEBODY IN
01:38:44.65\01:38:50.06
LIKE A SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST
COMMUNITY, THAT THEY CAN SEE THE
01:38:50.06\01:38:53.56
TRUE LOVE, I WAS TELLING MYSELF,
THESE PEOPLE HAVE SOMETHING I
01:38:53.56\01:38:58.00
HAVE NEVER HAD. THEY
HAVE SOMETHING THAT I
01:38:58.00\01:39:00.60
REALLY, REALLY WANT.
AND THAT'S WHAT ENDED UP
01:39:00.60\01:39:03.44
HAPPENING. SO THE
PRAYER AND THEN THE
01:39:03.44\01:39:05.11
INVOLVEMENT. >> AMEN.
01:39:05.11\01:39:07.01
CAN YOU SAY AMEN. >> AMEN!
01:39:07.01\01:39:09.81
>> THANK YOU. RADEEM
ARE YOU GLAD THAT YOU
01:39:09.81\01:39:14.25
INVITED HIM TO TANZANIA?
>> I'M GRATEFUL TO GOD.
01:39:14.25\01:39:18.49
BECAUSE HE IS SO GOOD. AND
THIS EXPERIENCE OVERCAME OUR
01:39:18.49\01:39:22.99
EXPECTATIONS. >> AMEN.
01:39:22.99\01:39:25.16
AMEN. THANK YOU.
01:39:25.16\01:39:25.83
¤ >> I REMEMBER
ONCE UPON A TIME I
01:39:25.83\01:39:34.47
STARTED PASTORING VERY EARLY.
I WAS ABOUT 21 YEARS OLD, AND I
01:39:34.47\01:39:39.71
REMEMBER SITTING IN MY FIRST
BOARD MEETING, AND I DIDN'T KNOW
01:39:39.71\01:39:44.08
ANYTHING ABOUT ROBERT'S
RULE OF ORDER OR ANYTHING.
01:39:44.08\01:39:47.72
AND I SAID WHAT DO
YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT?
01:39:47.72\01:39:51.12
THAT BOARD MEETING STARTED AT
6:00 AND WE ENDED AT 10:00 THAT
01:39:51.12\01:40:02.00
EVENING, FOUR HOURS.
BEFORE WE EXPECT A GREAT OUTCOME
01:40:02.00\01:40:05.53
WE MUST BE WILLING
TO WORK BEFOREHAND.
01:40:05.53\01:40:09.37
THE REASON WHY THAT BOARD
MEETING TOOK ABOUT FOUR HOURS IS
01:40:09.37\01:40:14.38
I REALIZED I DIDN'T HAVE THE
ABILITY TO ORGANIZE MEETING, AND
01:40:14.38\01:40:20.18
AS A RESULT WE WASTED TIME.
AND ASI HELPS WITH THOSE THINGS.
01:40:20.18\01:40:25.55
THEY GIVE YOU TOOLS AND VISION,
SKO YOU ARE ABLE TO WORK WELL
01:40:25.55\01:40:31.69
AND NOT WASE PEOPLE'S
TIMES, AND HAVE A GREAT OUTCOME.
01:40:31.69\01:40:35.33
AND THAT IS MY TIP THAT I WANT
-TO LEAVE WITH YOU. WORK AND
WORK AND WORK WELL FOR
01:40:35.33\01:40:42.44
CHRIST. >> GOOD EVENING, ASI.
01:40:42.44\01:40:45.17
WE HAVE ANOTHER OFFERING
IN ACTIONS SEGMENT FOR YOU.
01:40:45.17\01:40:48.68
THIS IS A PROJECT REPORT.
CHESTER CLARK IS A BOARD MEMBER
01:40:48.68\01:40:54.28
OF WASHATA HILLS AM ANITY.
>> THROUGH YOUR GENEROUS FUNDING
01:40:54.28\01:41:10.03
WE ARABLE TO BUILD A
WAREHOUSE TO HOUSE OUR BOOKS.
01:41:10.03\01:41:13.50
WHAT THIS DOES FOR US IS SEVERAL
THINGS, BUT IMPORTANTLY IT HELP
01:41:13.50\01:41:18.17
US TO BUY BOOKS IN LARGER
QUANTITIES, SO THAT OUR STUDENTS
01:41:18.17\01:41:23.11
WHEN THEY GO OUT AND SELL THEM
CAN HAVE MORE PROFIT, THE SCHOOL
01:41:23.11\01:41:27.48
CAN HAVE MORE PROFIT AND WE
CAN CONTINUE TO DO THIS WORK AND
01:41:27.48\01:41:31.19
BLESS OTHERS. >>
NOW THIS WENT BEYOND THE
01:41:31.19\01:41:34.62
STUDENTS AT YOUR
ACADEMY AND COLLEGE.
01:41:34.62\01:41:36.99
THERE ARE OTHER BENEFITS
THAT OTHER SCHOOLS WERE ABLE TO
01:41:36.99\01:41:40.56
BENEFIT FROM
THIS, RIGHT? >> IT DOES.
01:41:40.56\01:41:43.30
BECAUSE WE WERE ABLE TO BUY
IN SUCH LARGER COUNTCOUNTITIES.
01:41:43.30\01:41:50.21
THEY HAD GOTTEN TOGETHER TO TRY
TO BUY PRINTING TOGETHER TO GET
01:41:50.21\01:41:53.58
THE PRICE DOWN. AND
THEY ARE HOPING TO GET THE
01:41:53.58\01:41:56.41
PRICE DOWN ABOUT 25%. BUT
WITH THE LARGER INVENTORY WE
01:41:56.41\01:42:00.15
WERE ABLE TO HAVE, WE MADE A
LARGER ORDER, AND WE ABLE TO GET
01:42:00.15\01:42:09.26
THE PRICE DOWN ABOUT
35%. AND THAT HELPS ALL OF US.
01:42:09.26\01:42:13.90
>> SO IT REALLY IS A
PHENOMENAL COLLABORATION.
01:42:13.90\01:42:17.30
>> IT IS. >> TO
GET THE WORD OUT.
01:42:17.30\01:42:22.37
>> AND I THINK IT IS ONE OF
THE LARGEST, IF NOT THE LARGEST
01:42:22.37\01:42:30.45
STRUCTURE. YOU'LL
SEE THAT IN A MOMENT.
01:42:30.45\01:42:33.21
>> OKAY. SO WE CAN
GO AHEAD AND ROLL THE
01:42:33.21\01:42:37.82
VIDEO NOW? ALL RIGHT?
01:42:37.82\01:42:39.45
>> CANVASSING HELPS THE
SCHOOLS. IT HELPS THE STUDENTS.
01:42:39.45\01:42:45.59
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, IT
HELPS US AS AN ARMY OF YOUTH TO
01:42:45.59\01:42:50.93
FULFILL THE GOSPEL COMMISSION.
WE DISTRIBUTE OVE 71,000 BOOKS
01:42:50.93\01:42:58.27
A YEAR. BUT WHAT
IF OTHERS WANT TO DO
01:42:58.27\01:43:01.14
THE SAME, BUT THEY
DON'T HAVE THE VOLUME?
01:43:01.14\01:43:05.38
WITH THAT IN MIND, ASI
SUPPORTED THE WAREHOUSE PROJECT.
01:43:05.38\01:43:12.59
65 STUDENTS THAT CANVASSED
THEMSELVES AND VOLUNTEERS CAME
01:43:12.59\01:43:17.03
TOGETHER TO BUILD
THE FIRST WAREHOUSE.
01:43:17.03\01:43:20.53
¤ >> WHAT IS IT EXCITING IS
01:43:20.53\01:43:30.31
KNOWING THE BOOKS THAT WILL
BE HOUSED IN THIS BUILDING WON'T
01:43:30.31\01:43:34.14
STAY HERE LONG, BUT THEY WILL BE
GOING OUT AROUND THE WORLD, AND
01:43:34.14\01:43:38.38
GOD IS GOING TO USE THIS. IT
IS EXCITING TO SEE ALL OF THE
01:43:38.38\01:43:43.45
STUDENTS WORKING TOGETHER.
IT'S JUST LIKE WHEN ALL HANDS
01:43:43.45\01:43:46.65
WERE ON DECK, SEEING THE WORK
DEVELOP IN A TIMELY FASHION.
01:43:46.65\01:43:51.86
>> IT'S SO EXCITING, I
CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THIS FULLY
01:43:51.86\01:43:56.90
DEVELOPMENT. >> TODAY
IN ARKANSAS, WE HAVE A
01:43:56.90\01:44:00.40
CENTER WHERE SMALL INSTITUTIONS,
CHURCHES AND INDIVIDUALS CAN
01:44:00.40\01:44:04.31
ORDER CANVASSING BOOKS AT A
DISCOUNTED PRICE THANKS TO THE
01:44:04.31\01:44:08.48
VISION AND
GENEROSITY OF ASI MEMBERS.
01:44:08.48\01:44:11.98
>> I HAVE NEVER SEEN
GOD'S PROMISE SO REAL.
01:44:11.98\01:44:14.85
>> IT CHANGED MY LIFE. >>
THIS COULD BE YOUR EXPERIENCE
01:44:14.85\01:44:18.05
IN YOUR CHURCH, IN YOUR
SCHOOL, AND IN YOUR OWN LIFE.
01:44:18.05\01:44:22.29
THANK YOU ASI FOR YOUR FAITHFUL
COMMITMENT TO FINISHING THE
01:44:22.29\01:44:26.86
WORK. >> THAT'S
INCREDIBLE, CHESTER.
01:44:26.86\01:44:34.90
>> WE'RE JUST VERY GRATEFUL
FOR ASI FOR THEIR VISION AND
01:44:34.90\01:44:39.64
ASSISTANCE. AND WE
JUST PRAY THAT THESE
01:44:39.64\01:44:41.81
BOOKS WILL BE A
BLESSING TO MANY.
01:44:41.81\01:44:43.28
I WAS READING RECENTLY ABOUT
LATENT BAPTISMS, AND THAT IS
01:44:43.28\01:44:48.32
THAT PEOPLE ARE READING TRUTHS,
BUT AS THE END EVENT HAPPEN THE
01:44:48.32\01:44:54.59
HOLY SPIRIT IS GOING TO BE
POWER TO THOSE THAT ARE READING.
01:44:54.59\01:44:59.43
SO THANK YOU, ASI. >>
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, CHESTER.
01:44:59.43\01:45:03.70
OUR NEXT INTERVIEW, I WOULD LIKE
TO INTRODUCE BY WAY OF VIDEO.
01:45:03.70\01:45:07.94
LET'S WATCH.
01:45:07.94\01:45:13.21
¤ >> I'M AN ENERGY ADVISOR,
01:45:18.11\01:45:27.89
ESPECIALLIZE IN ADVISING
INDIVIDUALS WITH THEIR SOLAR
01:45:27.89\01:45:30.93
NEEDS AS WELL AS AIR
CONDITIONING, ANY ELECTRIC OR
01:45:30.93\01:45:36.36
GAS QUESTIONS THEY HAVE, MY JOB
IS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEIR HOME
01:45:36.36\01:45:41.97
IS MORE ENERGY EFFICIENT,
WHICH HELPS THE ENVIRONMENT, THE
01:45:41.97\01:45:46.01
COMMUNITY, AND THE
CUSTOMERS. SO IT'S A WIN-WIN.
01:45:46.01\01:45:49.04
IT'S A GREAT WAY TO PROVIDE FOR
MY FAMILY, GOD HAS BLESSED ME
01:45:49.04\01:45:54.92
WITH. WHEN I
FIRST MET THIS GUY, HE
01:45:54.92\01:45:57.62
GAVE ME ALL OF THE
ANSWERS STRAIGHT FROM THE BIBLE.
01:45:57.62\01:46:00.12
AND THAT'S WAT I RESPECTED
ABOUT THE ADVENTIST FAITH.
01:46:00.12\01:46:06.36
SO I WAS VERY BLESSED BY
THAT. TODAY MY WIFE AND I ARE
01:46:06.36\01:46:13.70
SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS.
WE HAVE BEEN BLESSED BY THE
01:46:13.70\01:46:16.47
CHURCH AND OUR
SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST.
01:46:16.47\01:46:18.47
HE SAVED OUR MARRIAGE.
TODAY HE BLESSED US WITH A GOOD
01:46:18.47\01:46:22.48
FAMILY, TWO WONDERFUL KIDS,
A SON AND A DAUGHTER, AND JUST
01:46:22.48\01:46:26.48
ABSOLUTELY BLESSED, SO WE'RE
VERY APPRECIATIVE O OUR FRIENDS
01:46:26.48\01:46:30.75
AND THOSE WHO LEAD US TO CHRIST,
AND LEAD US ON OUR MISSION AND
01:46:30.75\01:46:35.42
OUR DESIRE TO LEAD
OTHERS TO CHRIST AS WELL.
01:46:35.42\01:46:38.13
THE SCHOOL THING IS IN OUR
COMMUNITY, OUR NEIGHBORHOOD,
01:46:38.13\01:46:41.53
THERE IS NOT AS MANIED AS
REPRESENT ADVERTISES, HOWEVER,
01:46:41.53\01:46:44.37
THERE IS AN ADVENTIST RIGHT
BELOW US, AND SINCE THEY MOVED
01:46:44.37\01:46:48.40
IN, WE STARTED THINKING HOW CAN
WE EVANGELIZE OUR LITTLE AREA,
01:46:48.40\01:46:53.84
SO WE STARTED NEIGHBORS TO COME
OVER AND STUDY, SO IT HAS BEEN
01:46:53.84\01:46:58.78
AN ABSOLUTE BLESSING. WE
HAVE REACHED OUT TO SOME OF
01:46:58.78\01:47:01.85
OUR NEIGHBORS BY
INVITING THEM OUT FRIDAY NIGHT.
01:47:01.85\01:47:05.19
BUT THE SECRET IS KEEP
BEING PERSISTENT AND THEY WILL
01:47:05.19\01:47:09.52
EVENTUALLY COME. THEY
MAY NOT COME EVERY NIGHT,
01:47:09.52\01:47:13.09
BUT AT LEAST THE SEEDS ARE
PLANTED.-IT'S AMAZING TO SEE
01:47:13.09\01:47:17.13
PEOPLE WHO ARE HUNGRY FOR THE
TRUTH. THEY WANT TO STUDY, AND
01:47:17.13\01:47:21.40
THEY ARE ANXIOUS TO STUDY.
AND HERE WE HAVE THE TRUTH.
01:47:21.40\01:47:23.61
THE ONLY WAY TO GET OUT THERE IS
BY TAKING ACTION AND WANTING TO
01:47:23.61\01:47:27.71
STUDY WITH PEOPLE. AND
IT'S JUST REALLY GOOD TO
01:47:27.71\01:47:30.81
KNOW THE BIBLE.
BECAUSE IF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW
01:47:30.81\01:47:35.42
THAT YOU KNOW THE BIBLE,
THEY WILL BRING PEOPLE TO YOU.
01:47:35.42\01:47:41.79
WE BEGAN STUDYING THE BIBLE, AND
BEFORE WE KNEW IT THE DAUGHTER
01:47:41.79\01:47:49.43
STARTED STUDYING THE BIBLE, AND
NOW THEY ARE BAPTIZED AND ONE OF
01:47:49.43\01:47:54.47
THE BROTHERS A DEACON IN
THE CHURCH, SO IT'S ABSOLUTELY
01:47:54.47\01:48:02.98
AMAZING. ALFONZO
LOVES THE LORD, I CAN
01:48:02.98\01:48:06.21
TELL. AND IT'S
JUST AMAZING TO SEE HIS
01:48:06.21\01:48:09.02
WHOLE FAMILY AND HOUSEHOLD
COME TOGETHER IN CHRIST.
01:48:09.02\01:48:14.99
>> EXCELLENT.
MICHAEL IS THE DIRECTOR FOR I
01:48:14.99\01:48:19.66
SHARE AND [ INAUDIBLE ] WEST,
YOU KIND OF WEAR A COUPLE OF
01:48:19.66\01:48:22.46
HATS. AT THE END
IT SAID TOTAL MEMBER
01:48:22.46\01:48:26.67
INVOLVEMENT. BUT WHAT
DOES ISHARE HAVE TO DO
01:48:26.67\01:48:31.27
WITH THIS? >> IT
STANDS FOR I SEEK TO HELP
01:48:31.27\01:48:35.61
ADVANCED RERIVAL AND EVANGELISM,
AND WHEN THE GENERAL CONFERENCE
01:48:35.61\01:48:40.78
WAS COMING UP WITH THIS
INITIATIVE, THEY REALIZED THAT
01:48:40.78\01:48:45.19
WE WERE DOING THIS ALREADY.
WE WERE GETTING YOUNG PEOPLE AND
01:48:45.19\01:48:50.13
LAITY INVOLVED, SO THEY ASKED US
TO MAKE VIDEOS TO FEATURE ALL OF
01:48:50.13\01:48:55.60
THESE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN NOW
ARE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS, AND
01:48:55.60\01:48:58.57
ARE WINNING OTHERS TO CHRIST, SO
WE MADE THESE SMALL VIDEOS, AND
01:48:58.57\01:49:02.87
WE WANT THEM TO
GO VIRAL, BASICALLY.
01:49:02.87\01:49:05.91
>> SO WHAT DO YOU
HOPE TO ACCOMPLISH?
01:49:05.91\01:49:08.98
>> WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS WE
REALIZE THAT ARE MANY PEOPLE WHO
01:49:08.98\01:49:13.92
ARE DOING EVANGELISM, AND A
LOT OF TIME WE DON'T KNOW IT.
01:49:13.92\01:49:17.69
MAYBE WE FEEL ALONE OR LIKE
WE'RE THE ONLY ONES DO IT, SO WE
01:49:17.69\01:49:23.53
THOUGHT WE COULD FEATURE STORIES

CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER

SACRAMENTO? >>
YES, IN THE FOOTHILLS.
01:50:44.57\01:50:46.57
>> HE HAS THE BLESSING OF BEING
IN THE OFFERINGS AS WELL AS ON
01:50:46.57\01:50:50.58
OF THE RECIPIENTS OF THE
OVERFLOW THAT WE ARE PRAYING
01:50:50.58\01:50:54.48
FOR, FOR TOMORROW. SO
TELL US WHAT IS GOING ON.
01:50:54.48\01:50:57.19
>> I -- I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE
TO BEGIN, BUT WHERE I REALLY
01:50:57.19\01:51:01.49
WANT TO BEGIN IS SOMETHING THAT
HAS REALLY HAPPENED JUST IN THE
01:51:01.49\01:51:06.46
LAST YEAR OR TWO. WHEN
I STARTED THERE FOUR YEARS
01:51:06.46\01:51:09.23
AGO, WE STARTED ENGAGING OUR NEW
START LEADERSHIP TEAM, AND WE
01:51:09.23\01:51:14.80
REALIZED THAT PEOPLE COME TO
US WITH HEALTH CONITIONS, BUT WE
01:51:14.80\01:51:18.07
REALIZE THEY ARE FIGHTING A
SPIRITUAL BATTLE, AND WE CREATED
01:51:18.07\01:51:21.54
A TEAM THAT WOULD PROVIDE
SPIRITUAL SUPPORT FOR THOSE
01:51:21.54\01:51:26.31
PATIENTS SO THAT THEY COULD BE
MORE SUCCESSFUL IN THEIR HEALTH
01:51:26.31\01:51:30.12
CHOICES, AND YOU KNOW THE
NUMBERS ALREADY -- AND MIND YOU
01:51:30.12\01:51:35.92
THESE PEOPLE ARE PAYING TO
ALLOW US TO EVANGELISM THEM.
01:51:35.92\01:51:40.50
WE ARE ON TRACK TO BAPTIZE OVER
65 PEOPLE THIS YEAR OUT OF NEW
01:51:40.50\01:51:45.27
START. AND
THAT'S JUST NEW START.
01:51:45.27\01:51:47.30
WE JUST STARTED A RESIDENTIAL
PROGRAM TODAY, AND THAT PROGRAM
01:51:47.30\01:51:50.61
IS PROBABLY GOING TO
GET US UP TO A HUNDRED.
01:51:50.61\01:51:54.18
IT PROBABLY
BAPTIZED ABOUT ANOTHER 35.
01:51:54.18\01:51:57.28
WE WOULD BAPTIZE PROBABLY MORE
OUT OF DEPESSION AND RECOVERY,
01:51:57.28\01:52:01.28
BUT THERE ARE FEWER SESSIONS,
SO OVER A HUNDRED PATIENTS ARE
01:52:01.28\01:52:05.49
GETTING BAPTIZED NOW EVERY YEAR,
AND WE'RE NOT PAYING FOR THE
01:52:05.49\01:52:09.62
EVANGELISM. THEY ARE
PAYING US TO ALLOW US
01:52:09.62\01:52:12.29
TO EVANGELIZE THEM. WHAT
KIND OF PARADIGM IS THAT?
01:52:12.29\01:52:15.90
THAT'S A GREAT PROGRAM.
AND THAT'S EXCITING THAT WE'RE
01:52:15.90\01:52:18.77
DOING THAT, AND GOD
IS REALLY BLESSING US.
01:52:18.77\01:52:21.60
>> NOW THERE IS SMETHING ELSE
THAT IS REALLY CLOSE TO MY HEART
01:52:21.60\01:52:25.94
THAT IS
HAPPENING, AS FAR AS CLINIC.
01:52:25.94\01:52:28.51
>> YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.
ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO, WE HAD
01:52:28.51\01:52:31.15
THE VISION OF
CREATING A CLINIC ON CAMPUS.
01:52:31.15\01:52:34.12
WE HAD A CLINIC BUILDING, BUT
THE CLINIC WAS BASICALLY SEEING
01:52:34.12\01:52:38.19
OUR NEW START GUESTS AND
MAYBE A FEW CLINIC PEOPLE.
01:52:38.19\01:52:45.93
WE'RE IN A DEMOGRAPHIC IN
CALIFORNIA WHERE THERE ARE A LO
01:52:45.93\01:52:49.73
OF MEDICAID PATIENTS, AND THEY
WEREN'T GETTING ADEQUATE CARE.
01:52:49.73\01:52:54.24
SO WE HAD THE PLAN OF RECRUITING
YOUNG AGGRESSIVE LIKE-MINDED
01:52:54.24\01:52:59.81
PHYSICIANS, AND CREATING A
RURAL HEALTH CLINIC, WHICH IS A
01:52:59.81\01:53:05.55
FEDERAL DESIGNATION SO YOU
CAN TREAT THOSE PATIENTS AND BE
01:53:05.55\01:53:12.85
REIMBURSED YOUR COSTS. THE
TEAM SUCCESSFULLY GOT RURAL
01:53:12.85\01:53:18.23
HEALTH CLINIC STATUS, AND
SHORTLY AFTER THAT WE ALSO
01:53:18.23\01:53:21.76
REMODELED A LARGE PART OF THE
ADMINISTRATION BUILDING AND PUT
01:53:21.76\01:53:25.57
IN A -- ACTUALLY A
SIX-ROOM DENTAL CLINIC.
01:53:25.57\01:53:29.14
AND I HAVE TOLD YOU
THE NUMBERS ALREADY.
01:53:29.14\01:53:33.27
WE'RE NOW SEEING ONE
THOUSAND PATIENTS A MONTH.
01:53:33.27\01:53:37.11
>> THAT'S INCREDIBLE.
>> ONE THOUSAND PATIENTS A
01:53:37.11\01:53:41.68
MONTH. AND WE HAVE HAD OUR FIRST
01:53:41.68\01:53:44.35
BAPTISM FROM THE CLINIC,
BEAUSE THEY HAVE AN AGGRESSIVE
01:53:44.35\01:53:52.03
FOLLOW-UP, AND BIBLE STUDY
AND OUTREACH PROGRAM WITHIN THE
01:53:52.03\01:53:56.30
CLINIC, AND WE HAD A
CONTRACTOR WHO WAS HOMELESS.
01:53:56.30\01:54:00.20
WE PROVIDED HIM A PLACE TO STAY.
AND WE WANTED TO HIRE HIM, BUT
01:54:00.20\01:54:04.21
WE HAD A PLICY THAT YOU HAVE
TO BE A SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS
01:54:04.21\01:54:09.08
MEMBER. AND HIS
POINT WAS, I'M NOT GOING
01:54:09.08\01:54:11.78
TO GET BAPTIZED
JUST TO GET A JOB.
01:54:11.78\01:54:14.22
SO WE WORKED WITH HIM, AND HE
FINALLY GOT BAPTIZED, AND HE IS
01:54:14.22\01:54:18.45
NOW WORKING FULL-TIME ON YOUR
PLANT SERVICES, AND THIS IS KIND
01:54:18.45\01:54:22.32
OF OUR FIRST TROPHY
THAT CAME OUT OF THE CLINIC.
01:54:22.32\01:54:24.89
>> WONDERFUL. TELL
US ABOUT THE NURSING
01:54:24.89\01:54:27.76
PROGRAM. >> THE
NURSING PROGRAM IS
01:54:27.76\01:54:29.86
AMAZING. WHEN I
STARTED THERE FOUR YEARS
01:54:29.86\01:54:32.50
AGO, I REALLY THOUGHT THE
NURSING PROGRAM WAS A TOTAL
01:54:32.50\01:54:35.94
WASTE OF MONEY. I WAS WRONG.
01:54:35.94\01:54:39.61
WE REALIZED IT WAS GOING TO
TAKE ABOUT $2 MILLION TO GET THE
01:54:39.61\01:54:44.11
NURSING PROGRAM OFF OF THE
GROUND, BECAUSE THE STATE OF
01:54:44.11\01:54:48.08
CALIFORNIA, THE BOARD OF
REGISTERED NURSES HAVE STANDARDS
01:54:48.08\01:54:51.12
YOU HAVE TO ACHIEVE. WE
HAVE, FOR EXAMPLE, YOU HAVE
01:54:51.12\01:54:59.93
TO HAVE A SKILLS
LAB WITH MANNEQUINS.
01:54:59.93\01:55:04.63
THEY ARE $70,000.-WE NEEDED
ABOUT $400,000 JUST IN OUR
01:55:04.63\01:55:10.11
SKILLS LAB. WE NEEDED HOSPITAL
BEDS. AND I CONTACTED ADVENTIST
01:55:10.11\01:55:14.21
HEALTH, AND I SAID DO
YOU HAVE ANY HOSPITAL BEDS?
01:55:14.21\01:55:17.25
HE CALLED ME THE NEXT DAY, AND
HE SAID RANDY, WE HAVE EIGHT OF
01:55:17.25\01:55:23.85
THEM. AND I SAID
WE ONLY NEED SIX.
01:55:23.85\01:55:27.06
AND HE SAID, TAKE
THEM ALL OR DON'T TAKE ANY.
01:55:27.06\01:55:30.53
SO WE GOT THOSE FREE.
BUT WE WERE APPLYING FOR
01:55:30.53\01:55:36.16
ACCREDITATION, AND I THOUGHT IT
WAS REALLY AN UPHILL BATTLE, AND
01:55:36.16\01:55:38.23
WE WENT DOWN TO IRVINE,
CALIFORNIA, ELDER WILSON'S
01:55:38.23\01:55:43.24
DAUGHTER -- NOT
DAUGHTER -- SISTER, SHIRLEY
01:55:43.24\01:55:49.18
ANDERSON WAS THE HEAD OF OUR
NURSING PROGRAM AT THE TIME SHE
01:55:49.18\01:55:52.08
WAS THERE, AND THEY WERE AT THIS
MEETING WHERE WE WERE DECIDING
01:55:52.08\01:55:56.79
WHETHER WE COULD GET APPROVAL.
AND THE PROGRAM WAS PUT ON
01:55:56.79\01:56:01.59
PROBATION BECAUSE THEIR SKILLS
TRAINING WAS 30 MILES AWAY FROM
01:56:01.59\01:56:04.96
THE SCHOOL. NOW WE
HAD PLACES IN LOMA LINDA,
01:56:04.96\01:56:09.23
AND GLEN DALE, AND I'M THINKING
THEY ARE GOING TO CRUCIFY US.
01:56:09.23\01:56:13.23
WE GOT UP THERE, AND THEY SAID
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO ABOUT THE
01:56:13.23\01:56:18.27
STUDENTS
TRAVELLING ALL OF THOSE MILES?
01:56:18.27\01:56:21.71
AND DR. ANDERSON SAID, I
THINK WE'RE GOING TO TRANSPORT
01:56:21.71\01:56:25.58
THEMSELVES OURSELVES. AND
HE LOOKED AT ME, AND HE SAID
01:56:25.58\01:56:28.48
IS THAT RIGHT? AND I
SAID, YEAH, WE'LL DO THAT.
01:56:28.48\01:56:31.29
AND HE SAID FINE. WHY
DIDN'T THAT OTHER SCHOOL DO
01:56:31.29\01:56:37.96
THAT? AND THEY
GAVE US FULL APPROVAL.
01:56:37.96\01:56:40.23
AND HE SAID I
HAD AN UNCLE WHO WAS
01:56:40.23\01:56:45.57
WASSED A OAKWOOD
COLLEGE. GOD HAD GONE BEFORE US.
01:56:45.57\01:56:48.90
AND WE GRADUATED OUR FIRST
COHURT OF NURSES, AND 100% OF
01:56:48.90\01:56:56.04
THEM HAVE PASSED
THEIR EXAMINATIONS.
01:56:56.04\01:56:58.88
SO PRAISE GOD. >> AMEN.
01:56:58.88\01:57:01.12
SO YOUR OFFERING CAN HELP
TO BUILD THE INFRASTRUCTURE TO
01:57:01.12\01:57:05.65
SUPPORT ALL OF THESE MINISTRIES.
>> YEAH, TYPICALLY PEOPLE DON'T
01:57:05.65\01:57:09.06
LIKE TO PAY FOR INFRASTRUCTURE.
THE OFFERINGS IS GOING TO BUILD
01:57:09.06\01:57:14.46
STAFF AND STUDENT HOUSING, BUT
WITHOUT THAT INFRASTRUCTURE, THE
01:57:14.46\01:57:18.83
BAPTISMS CAN OCCUR.
THE GRADUATIONS CAN OCCUR.
01:57:18.83\01:57:22.74
WE CAN BE SENDING THESE
MISSIONARIES INTO ALL OF THE
01:57:22.74\01:57:27.64
WORLD. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
01:57:27.64\01:57:29.18
>> THANK YOU ASI.
>> COLLABORATION IS SO
01:57:29.18\01:57:31.25
IMPORTANT. FOR US
WORKING TOGETHER, WE CAN
01:57:31.25\01:57:34.08
ACCOMPLISH SO MUCH MORE. ¤
