WHERE ARE YOU BOTH LOCATED?
00:01:26.31\00:01:32.65
WELL, CURRENTLY JEANNIE AND I
ARE LIVING IN SUN CITY WEST
AMIDST THIS COVID AND IF I LOOK
00:01:32.65\00:01:39.56
LIKE I HAVE LONG HAIR LIKE THE
BEATLES IT'S BECAUSE MY BARBER
IS DOWN VERY ILL WITH COVID AND
00:01:39.56\00:01:43.50
I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET IN TO
GET A HAIRCUT AND I'VE HAD IT
TOO AND JOEDY HAD IT TOO. SO,
00:01:43.50\00:01:49.70
WE'RE COMING OUT OF A COCOON AND
HOPEFULLY WE'LL GET THROUGH THE
INTERVIEW. WELL, YOU'RE ON THE
00:01:49.70\00:01:55.48
MEND. PRAISE THE LORD. AND IN
ARIZONA, RIGHT JOEDY? YES, WE

00:01:55.48\00:02:04.52
TODAY SO, WE'RE FEELING THE
WINTER PAIN OF THOSE UP IN THE
MINUS 30 DEGREES IN SASKATCHEWAN
00:02:04.52\00:02:11.36
WHERE WE WERE BORN. I WAS GOING
TO SAY THAT YOUR FAMILY ROOTS UP
NORTH THAT'S A LITTLE COLDER
00:02:11.36\00:02:15.16
THAN WHERE YOU BOTH ARE. WELL,
THANK YOU TO BOTH OF YOU AND
THANK YOU FOR YOUR INVOLVEMENT
00:02:15.16\00:02:20.17
IN SO MANY DIFFERENT AREAS FOR
THE LORD AND HERE AT GOSPEL
OUTREACH. SO, WE ARE GOING TO BE
00:02:20.17\00:02:25.17
TALKING A LITTLE BIT LATER ABOUT
THE UPCOMING GOSPEL OUTREACH
RALLY THAT IS GOING TO BE
00:02:25.17\00:02:31.98
HAPPENING IN AT THE LOMA LINDA
UNIVERSITY CHURCH ON MARCH 26
WITH THE MELASHENKO FAMILY
00:02:31.98\00:02:38.15
SINGERS SO BEFORE WE GET
INVOLVED WITH ALL OF THAT, THERE
MIGHT BE SOMEONE WHO SHOCKINGLY
00:02:38.15\00:02:43.26
MIGHT NOT KNOW EITHER OF YOU OR
YOUR FAMOUS LAST NAME AND SO,
WHY DON'T YOU SHARE A LITTLE BIT
00:02:43.26\00:02:49.00
ABOUT EACH ONE OF YOU. LONNIE,
GIVE US A LITTLE BIT OF A
HISTORY OF YOU AND WHAT YOU ARE
00:02:49.00\00:02:57.27
CURRENTLY DOING AND YOUR WALK
WITH THE LORD. WELL, BEING ONE
OF THE FIVE SONS OF THE TRIBE OF
00:02:57.27\00:03:04.78
JOSEPH MELASHENKO WE ARE ALL ONE
YEAR APART, UM GOD HAS BEEN SO
GOOD TO US. SCRAPING US OUT OF
00:03:04.78\00:03:11.92
THE LITTLE HAYFIELDS AND
GRAINFIELDS OF SASKATCHEWAN
PUTTING BOTH JOEDY AND ME INTO
00:03:11.92\00:03:18.16
UNIQUE MINISTRIES ON THE FRONT
STAGE. FOR THE VOICE OF
PROPHECY, I WAS WITH GEORGE
00:03:18.16\00:03:24.73
VANDEMAN, IT IS WRITTEN. JOEDY
HAS BEEN WITH QUIET HOUR AND I
SPENT SOME YEARS AT THE
00:03:24.73\00:03:33.41
KETTERING HEALTH NETWORK MOST
RECENTLY BUT GOD CONTINUES TO
USE WHAT LITTLE LUMPS OF CLAY WE
00:03:33.41\00:03:41.08
ARE UM, I'VE SPENT THE LAST 24
MONTHS IN SECLUSION. WE DIDN'T
KNOW IF WE WOULD EVER GET BACK
00:03:41.08\00:03:46.29
TO CHURCH SO, I WROTE AND EDITED
365 TALKS FOR THE HOPE CHANNEL.
THEY ARE ALL 12 MINUTES EACH.
00:03:46.29\00:03:53.40
THEY ARE NOW AVAILABLE: HOPE
TALKS WITH LONNIE
MELASHENKO.COM. YOU CAN GET THEM
00:03:53.40\00:04:00.64
ON YOUTUBE BUT IT IS JUST
AMAZING HOW THE LORD IS ABLE TO
USE US IN SPITE OF THE FACT THAT
00:04:00.64\00:04:05.47
WE ARE ALL DAMAGED GOODS. THAT'S
WHERE THE BEAUTY OF JESUS COMES
IN. JEANNIE IS THE WIND BENEATH
00:04:05.47\00:04:10.85
MY WINGS BECAUSE I'VE GONE
THROUGH TOO MANY HEALTH
CHALLENGES AND SHE'S BEEN RIGHT
00:04:10.85\00:04:16.99
THERE INCLUDING COVID AND WE'RE
COMING OUT OF IT. WE'RE GOING TO
BE THERE AT LOMA LINDA.
00:04:16.99\00:04:25.83
WONDERFUL. GLAD TO HEAR THAT.
AND JOEDY, LONNIE MENTIONED SOME
OF YOUR CAREER. WELL YOU KNOW, I
00:04:25.83\00:04:30.10
WAS THINKING BACK THIS MORNING
ABOUT THE FIRST TIME OUR FAMILY
SANG TOGETHER. LONNIE AND I DID
00:04:30.10\00:04:35.67
A DUET TOGETHER I THINK WHEN WE
WERE ABOUT EIGHT OR NINE YEARS
OLD IN A LITTLE RUSSIAN SPEAKING
00:04:35.67\00:04:44.51
CHURCH UP THERE IN BEAVER CREEK,
SASKATCHEWAN. AND OVER THE
YEARS, MUSIC HAS BEEN A VERY,
00:04:44.51\00:04:52.05
VERY VITAL PART OF OUR MINISTRY.
AH, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU LOOK IN
SCRIPTURE YOU CAN SEE SO MANY
00:04:52.05\00:04:59.16
REFERENCES TO SINGING AND THE
JOY OF MUSIC AND I'M JUST
GRATEFUL THAT GOD HAS GIVEN US
00:04:59.16\00:05:06.27
THE ABILITY TO SHARE OUR MUSIC
MINISTRY WITH SO MANY. MY DAD
GOING WAY BACK, HE WAS A
00:05:06.27\00:05:12.01
WONDERFUL BASS ORIGINALLY WITH
THE KINGS HERALDS QUARTET.
LONNIE, I THINK WAS TWO AND I
00:05:12.01\00:05:18.58
WAS ONE WHEN HE SANG WITH THEM
AND WHEN HE CAME BACK TO THE
FARM IN SASKATCHEWAN HE HAD A
00:05:18.58\00:05:23.85
VERY UNFORTUNATE EVENT WHERE HE
GOT A THROAT I DON'T KNOW IF WAS
A CANCER OR GROWTH BUT YOU KNOW,
00:05:23.85\00:05:28.09
HE COULDN'T TALK, HE COULDN'T
SING FOR OVER A YEAR AND THIS IS
BACK IN THE DAYS WHEN THE KINGS
00:05:28.09\00:05:33.76
HERALDS AND THE VOICE OF
PROPHECY IS DOING EVERYTHING
LIVE. RIGHT. SO, HE HAD TO MAKE
00:05:33.76\00:05:39.53
SOME LAST-MINUTE CHANGES AND I
TELL YOU THAT WAS PROBABLY ONE
OF THE MOST DISAPPOINTING,
00:05:39.53\00:05:46.21
DISCOURAGING TIMES IN MY DAD'S
LIFE. BUT HE WENT BACK TO THE
FARM TO TEACH AND TO FARM BUT HE
00:05:46.21\00:05:50.18
HAD FIVE BOYS SO HE HAD A BUILT
IN QUINTET AND MOM WAS A
WONDERFUL MUSICIAN, TAUGHT ALL
00:05:50.18\00:05:56.18
OF US HOW TO SING DIFFERENT
PARTS AND SO THAT'S WHERE IT
BEGAN. I LOVE THAT AND YOU
00:05:56.18\00:06:01.66
REFERRED TO THE BIBLE AND SO
MANY SCRIPTURES THAT IN PSALM
98:4 IT SAYS "SHOUT FOR JOY TO
00:06:01.66\00:06:07.60
THE LORD ALL THE EARTH. BURST
INTO JUBILANT SONG WITH MUSIC".
AND AS YOU WERE SHARING ABOUT
00:06:07.60\00:06:13.37
YOUR BROTHERS AND YOU LONNIE,
AND YOUR FAMILY I JUST I COULD
PICTURE AND HEAR YOU BECAUSE
00:06:13.37\00:06:19.91
I'VE BEEN BLESSED TO HAVE HEARD
YOU AND YOUR FAMILY SING. AND
YOU KNOW, THE HISTORY OF THE
00:06:19.91\00:06:27.05
KINGS HERALDS AND ALL OF THIS,
MY GRANDMA ACTUALLY SANG IN THE
TEMPLE TRIO AND SO, YOU KNOW TO
00:06:27.05\00:06:31.72
HAVE THIS MUSIC AND TO HAVE IT
BE IN OUR ROOTS IS SO IMPORTANT.
SO, YOU MENTIONED THE FIVE
00:06:31.72\00:06:38.26
BROTHERS AND WE HAVE SOME
PICTURES THAT WE ARE GOING TO
SHARE OF SOME OF YOUR HISTORY.
00:06:38.26\00:06:44.53
LONNIE, WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR
EARLY RECOLLECTIONS OF YOUR
FAMILY SINGING TOGETHER? WELL, I
00:06:44.53\00:06:49.90
GUESS WHEN WE LEFT CANADA AND
MOVED TO THE EAST COAST MOM HAD
ALREADY TRAINED US TO START TO
00:06:49.90\00:06:55.68
SING PARTS. BY THE WAY, WE NEVER
EVER HAD A PIANO UNTIL WE WERE
IN ABOUT OUR TEENS. WOW. SO, SHE
00:06:55.68\00:07:02.32
HAD TO SING THE PARTS TO US AND
TEACH US THE DIFFERENT MELODIES.
MOM-DAD WAS ALWAYS IN EVANGELISM
00:07:02.32\00:07:09.06
TRAVELING SOMEWHERE BUT WHEN SHE
HAD US ALL READY TO SING A SONG,
THEY'D PULL US ON THE FRONT
00:07:09.06\00:07:13.93
STAGE WITH ELDER FOLKENBERG OR
WALTER SHUBERT OR GEORGE
VANDEMAN. WE WENT ON LIVE
00:07:13.93\00:07:18.37
TELEVISION A NUMBER OF TIMES
WHEN THE TV PROGRAM WOULDN'T
COME BECAUSE OF WEATHER
00:07:18.37\00:07:23.71
PROBLEMS--MELASHENKO'S GET DOWN
TO THE STUDIO. THIS IS IN
BERMUDA. WE HAD A LITTLE MORRIS
00:07:23.71\00:07:27.64
MINER, YOU COULD HARDLY FIT FIVE
PEOPLE IN IT BUT WE ALL SEVEN
PACKED IN PLUS THE PIANIST AND
00:07:27.64\00:07:33.11
WE'D BUZZ DOWN TO THE STUDIO AND
THEY'D COME OUT TAKING PICTURES
AND LAUGHING BECAUSE THEY
00:07:34.45\00:07:38.85
COULDN'T SEE HOW THESE PEOPLE
GET IN ONE LITTLE CAR. NOW
THAT'S A PICTURE AND A VIDEO I
00:07:38.85\00:07:43.32
WISH THAT YOU HAD TO SHARE WITH
US. I LOVE IT. RIPLEY'S BELIEVE
IT OR NOT. YES, WELL AND YOU
00:07:43.32\00:07:51.23
KNOW WHAT I CAN JUST IMAGINE
BECAUSE WE HAVE FRIENDS THAT
HAVE MULTIPLE BOYS IN THEIR
00:07:51.23\00:07:58.67
FAMILIES BUT FIVE, YOUR MOM AND
A HUSBAND. YOUR MOM WAS AN
AMAZING WOMAN OBVIOUSLY. SO,
00:07:58.67\00:08:04.21
JOEDY, HOW ABOUT YOU? WHAT'S
SOMETHING THAT STANDS OUT IN
YOUR MIND? WELL, WHEN WE WERE IN
00:08:04.21\00:08:10.59
HIGH SCHOOL UM, MY DAD MADE THE
DECISION TO GO INTO FULL TIME
EVANGELISM AND WE MOVED TO
00:08:10.59\00:08:15.02
CALIFORNIA, TO SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA AND LONNIE BY THAT
TIME WAS AT LA SIERRA COLLEGE,
00:08:15.02\00:08:23.80
THEY CALLED IT BACK THEN. I WAS
IN HIGH SCHOOL AND THE REST OF
US AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT
00:08:23.80\00:08:29.94
REALLY STANDS IN MY MIND
ESPECIALLY SINCE WE'RE GOING TO
BE IN LOMA LINDA HERE MARCH 26,
00:08:29.94\00:08:36.85
BACK IN 1965 MY DAD AND AN
EVANGELIST BY THE NAME OF DON
GRAY, THEY PLANTED A CHURCH IN
00:08:36.85\00:08:43.49
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA THAT IS
PROBABLY ONE OF THE LARGEST
CHURCHES NOW IN THE INLAND
00:08:43.49\00:08:48.79
EMPIRE AND IT IS THE AZURE HILLS
AND I CAN REMEMBER SINGING
TOGETHER AT THOSE EVANGELISTIC
00:08:48.79\00:08:55.03
MEETINGS. YOU KNOW, AND I GOT TO
THINKING ABOUT BOY THE FOOTPRINT
THAT MY PARENTS HAVE LEFT ON
00:08:55.03\00:09:00.24
THIS PLANET. ONLY IN HEAVEN WILL
WE UNDERSTAND THE PEOPLE THAT
THEY TOUCHED, THE PEOPLE THAT
00:09:00.24\00:09:08.51
TOUCHED US, UM AND I JUST HOPE A
LOT OF THE FOLK THERE AT AZURE
HILLS WILL SHOW UP AT LOMA LINDA
00:09:08.51\00:09:13.52
AND GIVE US SOME OF THE OLD
STORIES FROM THE GOOD OLD DAYS.
ABSOLUTELY. SO, BRING US BACK
00:09:13.52\00:09:20.62
OVER NOW THROUGH SO MANY YEARS.
NOW YOU HAVE THE MELASHENKO
FAMILY SINGERS KIND OF LIKE THE
00:09:20.62\00:09:25.46
VON TRAPP FAMILY SINGERS IN THE
SOUND OF MUSIC BUT YOU'RE THE
CANADIAN AMERICAN ONES NOW. SO,
00:09:25.46\00:09:32.97
GIVE US AN IDEA OF HOW MANY IN
YOUR FAMILY SING, AT THE
UPCOMING CONCERT THAT WE WILL
00:09:32.97\00:09:41.24
TALK ABOUT A LITTLE BIT MORE.
TELL US ABOUT HOW MANY OF YOUR
FAMILY WILL BE THERE. WELL, WE
00:09:41.24\00:09:47.18
ARE PLANNING TO HAVE FOUR OF THE
FIVE BROTHERS UM, THREE OF THE
GUYS WIVES WILL BE THERE. MY
00:09:47.18\00:09:53.15
DAUGHTER, A NEPHEW; WE ARE
REALLY HOPING THAT A FOURTH
GENERATION THIS WOULD BE A GREAT
00:09:53.15\00:09:59.73
GRANDSON OF MY PARENTS IS GOING
TO BE THERE SO THERE WILL
PROBABLY BE NINE OR TEN OF US
00:09:59.73\00:10:03.97
AND REALISTICALLY, THE LAST
CONCERT WE DID IN SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA WAS WITH THE FAMILY
00:10:03.97\00:10:12.77
WAS ABOUT TEN YEARS AGO AND I
DON'T WANT TO BE A YOU KNOW, I
DON'T WANT TO OVERSTATE OR
00:10:12.77\00:10:19.95
UNDERSTATE IT BUT THIS PROBABLY
IS GOING TO BE THE LAST BIG
EVENT WE ARE GOING TO DO
00:10:19.95\00:10:26.19
TOGETHER AS A FAMILY. BECAUSE
JESUS IS COMING, RIGHT?
ABSOLUTELY. BUT SO, WE ARE
00:10:26.19\00:10:30.79
REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO IT. A
LOT OF THE MUSIC WE'VE DONE OVER
THE YEARS IS VERY SOUTHERN
00:10:30.79\00:10:37.90
GOSPEL FLAVOR, INSPIRATIONAL AND
IT'S GOING TO BE A MEMORY MAKER
FOR US. YOU TALK ABOUT HOW MANY
00:10:37.90\00:10:43.97
OF US ARE GOING TO BE THERE, UM
ONE OF THE HIGH POINTS OF OUR
LIVES WAS TO SING FOR THE
00:10:43.97\00:10:48.71
GENERAL CONFERENCE IN WHERE WAS
THAT JOEDY, THAT WAS IN
INDIANAPOLIS? NO, THAT WAS IN
00:10:48.71\00:10:53.92
ST. LOUIS. ST. LOUIS, THAT'S
RIGHT, BIG ARCH. AND BUT THE
ONLY TIME EVER THAT THE WHOLE
00:10:53.92\00:10:59.22
FAMILY HAS BEEN ALL TOGETHER AT
ONE TIME AT THAT POINT, THERE
WERE 26 OF US INCLUDING THE
00:10:59.22\00:11:04.23
GRANDKIDS. AND THAT WAS AT THE
ARIZONA CAMPMEETING AND THAT IS
ACTUALLY ON A VIDEO TAPE THAT
00:11:04.23\00:11:10.60
WAS DONE BY LLBN -LOMA LINDA.
WELL, WONDERFUL. SO, OF THEM MAY
REMEMBER THAT HISTORIC MOMENT.
00:11:10.60\00:11:17.34
THAT WAS WHAT 26 OF US JOEDY? ON
PRESCOTT, ARIZONA. I DON'T EVEN
REMEMBER WHAT DAY, THAT WAS
00:13:23.93\00:13:31.01
PROBABLY -IN FACT, I DO
REMEMBER. IT WAS WHEN JOANNE WAS
EXPECTING CONNER SO THAT WAS 21
00:13:31.01\00:13:37.58
YEARS AGO. WONDERFUL. WELL, AND
THANK YOU AND RIGHT NOW, WE ARE
GOING TO GIVE THE VIEWERS A
00:13:37.58\00:13:44.79
SNIPPET OF ONE OF YOUR MUSCIAL
CONCERTS. (MUSIC PLAYING). WHY
HASN'T JESUS COME? IT'S BECAUSE
00:13:44.79\00:13:50.43
WE HAVE A JOB TO DO ONE THAT HIS
RETURN DEPENDS ON. THE BIBLE
TELLS US THAT CHRIST WILL COME
00:13:50.43\00:13:55.80
AFTER THE GOSPEL HAS BEEN
PREACHED IN ALL THE WORLD. THE
WORLD'S POPULATION EXCEEDS 7
00:13:55.80\00:14:02.27
BILLION BUT 3 BILLION PEOPLE
STILL NEED TO HEAR ABOUT JESUS'
LOVE. NINETY- SEVEN PERCENT OF
00:14:02.27\00:14:07.78
THE UNREACHED PEOPLE LIVE IN THE
AREA FROM 10 TO 40 DEGREES NORTH
OF THE EQUATOR. GOSPEL OUTREACH
00:14:07.78\00:14:14.05
HAS A UNIQUE APPROACH WITH THE
SUPPORT OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU WE
SPONSOR LOCAL GOSPEL WORKERS IN
00:14:14.05\00:14:23.19
MORE THAN FIFTY COUNTRIES.
BECAUSE THEY KNOW THE LANGUAGE,
CULTURE AND RELIGIONS OF THEIR
00:14:24.29\00:14:28.76
NEIGHBORS THEY FACE FEWER
CHALLENGES THAT FOREIGN
MISSIONARIES WOULD. TOGETHER
00:14:28.76\00:14:33.23
WITH YOU WE FUND MORE THAN 2000
BIBLE WORKERS BUT MORE ARE
NEEDED. LET'S REACH THE
00:14:33.23\00:14:37.87
UNREACHED WITH THE SAVING POWER

A BIBLE WORKER. DONATE. PRAY.

OUTREACH FAMILY. WELL, SPEAKING
OF FAMILY WE ARE TALKING WITH
LONNIE MELASHENKO AND HIS
00:15:24.75\00:15:30.36
BROTHER JOEDY MELASHENKO OF THE
INFAMOUS MELASHENKO FAMILY
SINGERS AND WELCOME BACK TO BOTH
00:15:30.36\00:15:39.07
OF YOU. WE'RE TALKING HERE ABOUT
YOUR FAMILY AND ALSO, WE'RE ALSO
TALKING ABOUT AN UPCOMING
00:15:39.07\00:15:44.54
CONCERT BUT BOTH OF YOU HAVE A
HEART FOR MISSION AND THAT HAS
BROUGHT YOU AND BROUGHT GOSPEL
00:15:44.54\00:15:51.38
OUTREACH TOGETHER AND LONNIE AND
JOEDY, WHY DON'T YOU SHARE A
LITTLE BIT OF THAT, HOW YOU'VE
00:15:51.38\00:15:56.55
GOTTEN INVOLVED IN GOSPEL
OUTREACH? WELL, IT WAS ABOUT
FIVE YEARS AGO THAT GOSPEL
00:15:56.55\00:16:02.96
OUTREACH BOARD CHAIRMAN, KEN
CRAWFORD WHO HAPPENS TO BE A
GOOD FRIEND OF OURS, WE WERE
00:16:02.96\00:16:11.00
SOCIALIZING TOGETHER AND HE
SAID, WELL JOEDY, NOW THAT YOU
HAVE RETIRED YOU KNOW, WHAT ARE
00:16:11.00\00:16:17.07
YOU GUYS DOING? AND THAT WAS
REALLY -IT WAS VERY TIMELY
BECAUSE MY WIFE AND I HAD BEEN
00:16:17.07\00:16:24.85
PRAYING, LORD, WE'RE RETIRED BUT
WE STILL HAVE, WE STILL HAVE A
LITTLE BIT OF FUEL LEFT IN OUR
00:16:24.85\00:16:31.82
TANK YOU KNOW, OPEN THE DOOR TO
A MINISTRY THAT WE KNOW HAS SOME
ETERNAL END TIME IMPACT AND IT
00:16:31.82\00:16:37.89
WAS JUST SUCH AN ANSWER TO
PRAYER THAT THIS OPPORTUNITY
CAME AROUND. I NEED TO BACK UP A
00:16:37.89\00:16:44.60
LITTLE BIT. MY MOM AND DAD,
THEIR PARENTS ALL WERE
IMMIGRANTS FROM RUSSIA, FROM THE
00:16:44.60\00:16:51.74
UKRAINE. THEY WERE RUSSIAN
SPEAKING UKRAINIANS. THEY WERE
PART OF THE DEPRESSION ERA
00:16:51.74\00:16:57.88
GENERATION WHERE THEY WERE
FRUGAL, AND SAVED MONEY BUT MY
DAD, BLESS HIS HEART, OVER THE
00:16:57.88\00:17:04.12
YEARS AND I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW
MANY AH, YARD SALES AND HOW MANY
PLANT SALES AND VEGETABLE SALES
00:17:04.12\00:17:11.83
THEY HELPED SPONSOR NUMEROUS
STUDENTS THERE AT THE SEMINARY
IN RUSSIA. DAD WENT WHEN HE WAS
00:17:11.83\00:17:17.40
IN HIS 70'S TO HELP BUILD A
CHURCH. SO, THAT THE IMPACT OF
BEING OF HAVING MISSION BLOOD
00:17:17.40\00:17:22.70
FLOWING THROUGH OUR VEINS WAS
DEMONSTRATED VERY VIVIDLY BY MY
DAD AND MOM. LONNIE, MAYBE YOU
00:17:22.70\00:17:28.78
CAN REFLECT LITTLE BIT ON THAT
EVENT THERE IN BORISLOV. YES, WE
WENT THERE AND PLANTED A
00:17:28.78\00:17:34.32
BRAND-NEW CHURCH AH, THERE IS
NOTHING THERE. THERE WAS STONE.
THERE WAS NO POSSIBILITY. WE
00:17:34.32\00:17:40.32
WENT THERE AND WE RAISED UP A
CHURCH. DAD AND MOM WENT WITH
ME. ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF MY
00:17:40.32\00:17:47.73
LIFE ALTHOUGH I JUST WISH I
COULD HAVE SPOKEN THE LANGUAGE.
DAD'S RUSSIAN-UKRANIAN WAS SO
00:17:47.73\00:17:55.90
OLD THEY ASKED HIM TO HAVE AN
INTERPRETER EVEN THOUGH HE COULD
SPEAK IT, HE WAS SPEAKING IT
00:17:55.90\00:18:05.25
LIKE IT WOULD BE SHAKESPEARIAN
ENGLISH AND HE NEEDED TO USE
SOMETHING MORE MODERN. BUT WHAT
00:18:05.25\00:18:09.82
A THRILL AND JOEDY CAME WITH ME
THEN TO PERM, RUSSIA, AND YOU
KNOW AND IT IS IN OUR BLOOD
00:18:09.82\00:18:15.89
HAVING WORKED WITH GEORGE
VANDEMAN AND HMS RICHARDS
BROADCAST TELEVISION PROGRAM.
00:18:15.89\00:18:19.86
THERE IS NOTHING MORE REWARDING.
I BAPTIZED A PERSON NOT TOO MANY
YEARS AGO WHO WAS WATCHING OUR
00:18:19.86\00:18:26.03
PROGRAM ON 3ABN -MY EVANGELISTIC
SERIES. SHE'S A CATHOLIC SHE
WORKED FOR THE BISHOP IN
00:18:26.03\00:18:33.11
EVANSVILLE AND EVENTUALLY WAS
BAPTIZED. IT'S ABSOLUTELY
THRILLING STORIES LIKE THAT AND
00:18:33.11\00:18:39.41
JOEDY, REMEMBER IN THE
PHILIPPINES THERE THAT LITTLE
GIRL, 15-YEAR-OLD THAT CAME DOWN
00:18:39.41\00:18:47.06
WITH HER LITTLE CRUTCH AND SHE
WAS BUDDHIST, SHE DIDN'T KNOW
ANYTHING ABOUT JESUS. SHE
00:18:47.06\00:18:54.60
HAPPENED TO BE ATTENDING OUR
SCHOOL. JOEDY, YOU GOT TO
BAPTIZE HER. SHE IS AT THE
00:18:54.60\00:19:02.77
SEMINARY RIGHT NOW. WOW. AND
SHE'S ON HER OWN BUT THESE KINDS
OF THINGS ARE SO REWARDING. YOU
00:19:02.77\00:19:09.61
CANNOT EVEN -YOU CAN'T PAY FOR
IT. NO MONEY. IT'S JUST THE
THRILL OF REACHING OUT TO PEOPLE
00:19:09.61\00:19:15.48
WHO DON'T KNOW ABOUT JESUS.
WELL, AND THE THING LONNIE, THAT
I THINK THAT CAPTURED US. THE
00:19:15.48\00:19:19.25
DEALMAKER WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH
IS THERE IS NO OTHER MINISTRY
LIKE IT. UM, YES THERE'S
00:19:19.25\00:19:24.06
MINISTRIES OUT THERE SHARING THE
GOOD NEWS OF THE GOSPEL AH, BUT
WHEN WE DISCOVERED THAT 95 PER
00:19:24.06\00:19:30.33
CENT PLUS OF ALL DONATIONS GO
DIRECTLY TO THESE GOSPEL WORKERS
IN THE 10/40 WINDOW, THAT THERE
00:19:30.33\00:19:35.97
IS ONLY ONE OR ONE AND A HALF. I
MEAN THEIR OVERHEAD AS FAR AS
PAID STAFF IS JUST AS MINIMAL AS
00:19:35.97\00:19:41.68
YOU CAN GET AND IT'S A VOLUNTEER
ORGANIZATION. AND FOR ME, THAT
JUST SPOKE VOLUMES. YOU KNOW, IT
00:19:41.68\00:19:46.38
IS ONE THING TO DO SOMETHING IF
YOU GET A PAYCHECK, YOU KNOW,
YOU'VE GOT A JOB BUT WHEN YOU'VE
00:19:46.38\00:19:54.29
GOT PEOPLE WHO'VE GOT A PASSION
LIKE WE'VE SEEN AT GOSPEL
OUTREACH WE SAID, LORD, YOU
00:19:54.29\00:19:59.93
KNOW, AS LONG AS YOU GIVE US
BREATH, WE ARE GOING TO SHARE
THE GOSPEL OUTREACH STORY WITH
00:19:59.93\00:20:06.13
THE WORLD AND YOU KNOW, HERE
THREE SUMMERS AGO WE DID A
CAMPMEETING TOUR UP IN CANADA.
00:20:06.13\00:20:12.97
GOSPEL OUTREACH, CANADA THEY TRY
TO REACH THE PEOPLE IN NORTH
AFRICA AND THEY NEEDED ABOUT A
00:20:12.97\00:20:19.95
DOZEN OR SO BIBLE WORKERS
SPONSORED, WE SAID, HEY, WE'LL
RAISE THE FUNDS FOR THAT. WELL,
00:20:19.95\00:20:27.82
NOT ONLY RAISE FUNDS FOR THAT
BUT WE RAISED FUNDS FOR ABOUT
100. GOD JUST TOUCHES PEOPLES
00:20:27.82\00:20:33.56
HEARTS WHEN THEY HEAR THE GOSPEL
OUTREACH STORY. AND IN REALITY,
IT IS PROBABLY THE BEST KEPT
00:20:33.56\00:20:38.23
SECRET BECAUSE TOO MANY PEOPLE
DON'T KNOW ABOUT IT. WELL, THIS
IS TRUE AND I HAVE-I WEAR TWO
00:20:38.23\00:20:44.91
HATS. ONE WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH
AND WITH BIBLE IN LIVING SOUND
AND YES, TO NOT HAVE EMPLOYEES
00:20:44.91\00:20:49.44
ON THE PAYROLL AND HAVE, YES,
THERE ARE EXPENSES AND THINGS
LIKE THAT BUT NO, IT MAKES
00:20:49.44\00:20:54.15
GOSPEL OUTREACH STAND OUT. WELL,
MY BROTHER JOEDY IS A GOOD
SALESMAN. HE CAN SELL POPSICLES
00:20:54.15\00:20:58.82
TO THE ESKIMOS. HE TOLD ME ABOUT
GOSPEL OUTREACH. I'D NEVER
REALLY PAID MUCH ATTENTION OR
00:20:58.82\00:21:06.66
EVEN HEARD ABOUT IT ESPECIALLY
THIS 10/40 WINDOW- NOW I'D HEARD
A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT BUT THEN
00:21:06.66\00:21:13.37
A DEAR FRIEND OF MINE WHO IS A
FORMER GENERAL CONFERENCE
TREASURER WHO HAPPENED TO BE ON
00:21:13.37\00:21:19.07
THE BOARD AT GOSPEL
OUTREACH-THAT'S ELDER BOB
ROSSEN. HE CAME TO ME AT CHURCH
00:21:19.07\00:21:26.05
A COUPLE OF TIMES AND HE SAID
YOU REALLY NEED TO TAKE A LOOK
AT SOMETHING THAT'S GOT MY
00:21:26.05\00:21:32.32
ATTENTION. NOW HERE IS SOMEONE
WHO WORKED FOR THE WORLD CHURCH,
THE PAID ORGANIZATION, ALL THE
00:21:32.32\00:21:38.03
MISSIONARIES AND COLPORTEURS AND
TEACHERS AND PASTORS AND
EVANGELISTS. HE SAID, THIS IS
00:21:38.03\00:21:43.70
SOMETHING THAT IS LAY DRIVEN,
COMPLETELY. IT CAUGHT MY
ATTENTION. AND SO, IT'S BEEN A
00:21:43.70\00:21:48.24
BLESSING TO ME. I STARTED LIKE A
LITTLE KID FOLLOWING JOEDY
AROUND TO SOME OF HIS
00:21:48.24\00:21:53.31
PRESENTATIONS WITH HIS WIFE AND
IT MOVED ME TO TEARS. IT IS A
POWERFUL, POWERFUL MINISTRY AND
00:21:53.31\00:21:58.61
JESUS SAYS IN MATTHEW 24, GO YE
INTO ALL THE WORLD AND BAPTIZE.
WELL, WE HAVEN'T BEEN GOING INTO
00:21:58.61\00:22:04.22
ALL THE WORLD. WE'VE BEEN GOING
TO THOSE ESPECIALLY THE
CHRISTIAN ORIENTED COUNTRIES AND
00:22:04.22\00:22:10.36
SO I HAVE BEEN MOST IMPRESSED
WITH GOSPEL OUTREACH AND THE LAY
DRIVEN DIMENSION OF IT. IT IS SO
00:22:10.36\00:22:16.36
EXCITING THAT JEANNIE AND I,
WE'RE IN, WE'RE INVESTING IN IT.
WELL, AND THANK YOU TO BOTH OF
00:22:16.36\00:22:23.34
YOU AND LONNIE, IT'S BEEN A JOY
TO HAVE YOU HERE AS ONE OF THE
HOSTS OF "ADVENTURES IN
00:22:23.34\00:22:33.31
MISSIONS" AND TO HAVE YOUR
INVOLVEMENT THAT WAY AH, WITH
YOUR PROFESSIONALISM AND CAREER
00:22:33.31\00:22:40.39
AND JOEDY TO HAVE YOU LEADING
THE FAMILY SINGERS. SO, LET'S
TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE
00:22:40.39\00:22:46.63
UPCOMING GOSPEL OUTREACH RALLY
AND WE USED TO RALLY THE TERM IS
A MEETING TO COME TOGETHER AND
00:22:46.63\00:22:51.80
IT WILL BE AT THE LOMA LINDA
UNIVERSITY CHURCH ON THE 26TH OF
MARCH AT 6 O'CLOCK AND A FREE
00:22:51.80\00:22:59.37

MELASHENKO FAMILY SINGERS AND
ALSO, YOU'LL BE PRESENTING
00:22:59.37\00:23:04.68

OUTREACH. SO, JOEDY TELL PEOPLE
WHAT THEY CAN EXPECT AT THE
00:23:04.68\00:23:10.99
PRESENTATION. WELL, MAYBE I'M IN
A CAMP BY MYSELF, BUT YOU KNOW,
UNFORTUNATELY IN THIS MEDIA
00:23:10.99\00:23:16.06
DRIVEN WORLD WE LIVE IN, YOU
KNOW THERE IS FACEBOOK, THERE IS
TWITTER, THERE IS YOU KNOW ALL
00:23:16.06\00:23:22.13
KINDS OF STUFF. PEOPLE ARE
LOOKING FOR OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE
A WARM BODY IN FRONT OF A WARM
00:23:22.13\00:23:30.21
BODY. AND YES, I'M SURE THIS
WILL BE BROADCAST AND PEOPLE
WILL SEE IT ON YOUTUBE OR
00:23:30.21\00:23:39.25
WHATEVER BUT WE REALLY, REALLY
LOVE TO MEET PEOPLE PERSON TO
PERSON AND WE'VE GOT A LOT OF
00:23:39.25\00:23:45.82
FRIENDS AND CLASSMATES AND
PEOPLE THAT WE HAVE KNOWN
THROUGH THE YEARS IN LOMA LINDA
00:23:45.82\00:23:52.79
AND I JUST WOULD LOVE TO SEE,
YOU KNOW, A BUNCH OF CLASSMATES,
FRIENDS, PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD AN
00:23:52.79\00:24:00.14
IMPACT OR MAYBE OUR FAMILY HAS
IMPACTED. IT'S GOING TO PROBABLY
ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF PROGRAM
00:24:00.14\00:24:05.87
AND DEFINITELY WE'LL BE GIVING
THE PEOPLE INFORMATION ABOUT HOW
THEY CAN HELP SPONSOR A BIBLE
00:24:05.87\00:24:11.41
WORKER IN THE 10/40 WINDOW. I
WILL JUST THROW THIS AS AN
ASIDE, BUT WE HAVE JUST FINISHED
00:24:11.41\00:24:18.35
REDOING OUR TRUSTS AS A FAMILY,
MY WIFE AND I AND UM, GOSPEL
OUTREACH IS FRONT AND CENTER AND
00:24:18.35\00:24:23.63
WE KNOW THAT TIME IS NOT-YOU
KNOW THE LORD SPOKE SOME
WONDERFUL WORDS AFTER THE
00:24:23.63\00:24:28.86
EXPERIENCE OF LAZARUS. HE SAID,
YOU KNOW I HAVE COME-THE ENEMY
COMES TO STEAL AND DESTROY BUT I
00:24:28.86\00:24:35.20
HAVE COME THAT YOU MAY HAVE LIFE
AND LIFE MORE ABUNDANTLY, AMEN,
AND IN THIS DARK AGE WE LIVE IN
00:24:35.20\00:24:41.18
RIGHT NOW WE NEED MORE ABUNDANT
LIVING AND I JUST HOPE THAT THIS
CONCERT WILL EXUDE THE FACT
00:24:41.18\00:24:45.98
THAT, YOU KNOW, WE ARE
ABUNDANTLY IN LOVE WITH JESUS.
ABSOLUTELY. LONNIE. WELL, YOU
00:24:45.98\00:24:50.99
KNOW JESUS ALSO SAID, LAY NOT UP
FOR YOURSELF TREASURES ON THIS
EARTH. A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE
00:24:50.99\00:24:57.26
PILING UP STOCKS AND THERE IS SO
MUCH MONEY OUT THERE -WHAT ARE
WE GOING TO DO WHEN WE DO WHEN
00:24:57.26\00:25:04.73

SAVIOUR. YOU MENTIONED LAZARUS
00:25:26.52\00:25:36.30
AND JESUS IS RISEN. HE RAISED
LAZARUS FROM THE DEAD AND HE
WANTED TO MAKE SURE TO SHARE
00:25:36.30\00:25:43.00
THAT. AND LONNIE, OR JOEDY
