I will spend $1.
00:00:01.36\00:00:04.07
And in return,
00:00:04.10\00:00:06.03
I will get
tangible financial benefit,
00:00:06.07\00:00:10.81
I will get $100,
intangible benefit.
00:00:10.84\00:00:15.18
People, my people,
as a state senator,
00:00:15.21\00:00:18.85
my people
00:00:18.88\00:00:22.02
will access and
benefit the best ever
00:00:22.05\00:00:27.36
healthcare services
00:00:27.39\00:00:30.83
that I will call this ministry
00:00:30.86\00:00:34.33
as the best ever
healthcare provider.
00:00:34.36\00:00:39.03
It feels like
00:00:55.78\00:00:57.12
it's at least 100
degrees out today.
00:00:57.19\00:00:58.79
I know it's 100% humidity.
00:00:58.82\00:01:00.66
And in this
tank, it's even hotter.
00:01:00.69\00:01:03.43
Japanese tanks,
00:01:03.46\00:01:04.83
there's probably 10
of them in a row here.
00:01:04.86\00:01:07.83
They took over
the island of Pohnpei,
00:01:07.86\00:01:11.40
they were in control for
many years during the war,
00:01:11.43\00:01:14.27
before the war,
and during the war.
00:01:14.30\00:01:16.74
And General Douglas
MacArthur, they had a plan,
00:01:16.81\00:01:19.44
they were going to try
and recapture the islands,
00:01:19.47\00:01:22.41
what they did is they
called island hopping,
00:01:22.44\00:01:24.41
they bomb, and they
take over one island,
00:01:24.45\00:01:27.72
then they'd skip
to the next island,
00:01:27.75\00:01:29.08
go on to the next one,
00:01:29.12\00:01:30.49
then they'd skip to
the next island and so on,
00:01:30.52\00:01:32.62
and they'd end up
then with blockades.
00:01:32.65\00:01:34.82
The Japanese
here, they ended up...
00:01:34.86\00:01:37.53
The blockades were so severe,
00:01:37.56\00:01:39.03
they finally had no ammunition
to shoot at planes anymore,
00:01:39.06\00:01:41.86
they had no food,
they went into the towns
00:01:41.90\00:01:45.10
and the villages
and they created havoc
00:01:45.13\00:01:47.04
with the people, they
treated them so terribly.
00:01:47.07\00:01:50.14
War is
absolutely a horrible thing.
00:01:50.21\00:01:53.14
Hey, Mr. B,
that was kind of fun.
00:02:04.52\00:02:06.96
Tell me about...
Your family was here
00:02:06.99\00:02:09.09
on the islands at that time.
00:02:09.12\00:02:11.09
What was it like to
have the Japanese here,
00:02:11.13\00:02:13.80
taking over your
home and everything else?
00:02:13.83\00:02:19.30
The Japanese, you know,
00:02:19.33\00:02:21.30
they made the
people really work.
00:02:21.34\00:02:25.44
If you don't work,
they really punished you.
00:02:25.47\00:02:28.24
And you make a mistake
they really punished you.
00:02:28.28\00:02:33.62
And punish in this
case means what maybe?
00:02:33.65\00:02:36.58
Beating.
00:02:36.62\00:02:37.99
If a group works in a company
00:02:38.02\00:02:42.09
and something is
stolen in the company,
00:02:42.12\00:02:44.89
if there are 15 or 20 of
them, all of them are beaten.
00:02:44.93\00:02:48.76
If nobody confessed,
00:02:48.80\00:02:50.17
they beat them until
one of them will confess.
00:02:50.20\00:02:53.57
And I heard from
my father at one time,
00:02:53.64\00:02:55.60
the place where he was working
00:02:55.64\00:02:57.01
there were like
seven or eight of them,
00:02:57.04\00:03:00.21
and something was stolen there.
00:03:00.28\00:03:02.08
So what they did,
they tied their legs up,
00:03:02.11\00:03:05.61
their heads down,
00:03:05.65\00:03:07.02
and this Japanese
soldier start kicking them
00:03:07.05\00:03:11.52
and beating them and
those kind of things.
00:03:11.55\00:03:15.69
And finally, one of them cursed,
00:03:15.72\00:03:19.86
he cursed the
rest of the people,
00:03:19.89\00:03:21.76
he say, "Why you
people are scared?"
00:03:21.80\00:03:23.70
So he confessed that
he was the one who did it.
00:03:23.77\00:03:25.90
But he was not the one.
00:03:25.93\00:03:27.27
He really
wasn't the one. Just...
00:03:27.34\00:03:28.67
No, just to stop the
beating. Stop the beating.
00:03:28.70\00:03:31.11
My, oh, my.
00:03:31.14\00:03:32.94
Tell me any other stories,
00:03:32.97\00:03:34.31
I mean, we look
at all these tanks
00:03:34.34\00:03:35.88
and think of all the
stuff that went on here.
00:03:35.91\00:03:39.11
Anything else you
can think of from family
00:03:39.15\00:03:41.42
that went on during the war?
00:03:41.45\00:03:42.78
Oh, during the war, of course,
00:03:42.82\00:03:45.19
the American's,
they don't land here.
00:03:45.22\00:03:48.56
All they do is
they just bomb. Yeah.
00:03:48.59\00:03:51.26
And, you know, my
mother and my father,
00:03:51.29\00:03:54.70
they used to tell me
that there are some caves
00:03:54.73\00:03:57.00
when there is the
Japanese will know that
00:03:57.07\00:03:59.63
planes are coming,
00:03:59.67\00:04:01.00
there is a
siren, they will siren.
00:04:01.04\00:04:03.51
And that thing will make noise,
00:04:03.54\00:04:05.07
everyone would
start running, hiding.
00:04:05.11\00:04:08.34
And the Americans will come
in and just bomb everything,
00:04:08.38\00:04:12.61
you know, there
are some islands here
00:04:12.65\00:04:14.12
where they have
guns, and maybe even here.
00:04:14.15\00:04:16.89
If you go to Sokhens,
00:04:16.92\00:04:18.25
you will see the
marks of all these bombs.
00:04:18.29\00:04:20.39
They just bombed everywhere.
00:04:20.46\00:04:23.63
And even some of
the locals were hurt.
00:04:23.66\00:04:29.43
I have a relative
in one of the islands,
00:04:29.46\00:04:33.10
you know, my mother told us that
00:04:33.13\00:04:35.00
he was putting the
Dutch roof on his house
00:04:35.04\00:04:37.91
and this plane came in.
00:04:37.94\00:04:39.77
And just started shooting
00:04:39.81\00:04:42.71
and probably they
thought this was a Japanese,
00:04:42.74\00:04:47.22
shot that guy.
00:04:47.25\00:04:48.68
She said that the intestines
were hanging, you know...
00:04:48.72\00:04:51.49
But after the war,
when the Americans came in,
00:04:54.96\00:04:57.53
they asked all the locals,
00:04:57.56\00:04:58.89
those people who were
hurt during the Japanese time,
00:04:58.93\00:05:01.43
and they gave lots of money
to those people who were hurt.
00:05:01.46\00:05:05.67
If they destroyed
your properties your house
00:05:05.70\00:05:09.90
and things like that,
00:05:09.94\00:05:11.37
there was money,
I think they got it
00:05:11.41\00:05:13.11
from United Nation that
helped the local people.
00:05:13.14\00:05:15.84
Okay.
00:05:15.88\00:05:17.25
During the time of the
war, how many Japanese...
00:05:17.28\00:05:19.58
Do you know how many Japanese
were here on the island?
00:05:19.61\00:05:22.12
I'm not sure how
many of our people,
00:05:22.15\00:05:24.09
there were more
Japanese than the locals here.
00:05:24.12\00:05:27.39
Really? That's a lot.
00:05:27.46\00:05:29.19
Because when they came in,
00:05:29.22\00:05:30.76
they did not come to go back,
00:05:30.83\00:05:32.29
they were planning to make
these islands part of Japan.
00:05:32.33\00:05:36.20
So the
population of the Japanese
00:05:36.23\00:05:38.33
here would double.
00:05:38.37\00:05:40.24
The people on the, you know,
like Marshall, Pohnpei, Chuuk,
00:05:40.27\00:05:45.14
Guam, and all those
islands, there were...
00:05:45.17\00:05:47.78
The number doubled.
00:05:47.81\00:05:50.15
In Phnom Penh,
00:05:50.18\00:05:51.68
the highest job they
can get is a secretary.
00:05:51.71\00:05:57.12
Either secretary or policemen,
00:05:57.19\00:05:59.32
they cannot go higher than that.
00:05:59.35\00:06:01.36
And the schooling
is only fourth grade.
00:06:01.39\00:06:03.96
Now that was then or now?
00:06:04.03\00:06:05.86
During Japanese.
During Japanese occupation.
00:06:05.89\00:06:07.96
You cannot go
higher than fourth grade.
00:06:08.00\00:06:10.70
But then fourth grade
what they learn is carpentry.
00:06:10.77\00:06:13.07
Wow, this is an arduous climb up
00:06:17.41\00:06:19.31
to the top of this mountain,
but it's going to be worth it.
00:06:19.34\00:06:21.44
Wait till you see
what we find at the top.
00:06:21.48\00:06:23.55
Come on, follow me.
00:06:23.58\00:06:24.91
This stuff is
so big. What is it?
00:06:39.06\00:06:41.06
Well, you may
recognize it, bamboo.
00:06:41.10\00:06:44.40
Bamboo, how did it get here?
00:06:44.43\00:06:45.77
It wasn't
indigenous to this island,
00:06:45.80\00:06:47.90
the Japanese planted it.
00:06:47.94\00:06:49.44
When the Japanese
occupied the island,
00:06:49.47\00:06:51.71
especially up here on
the top of this mountain,
00:06:51.74\00:06:54.11
where they placed many guns.
00:06:54.18\00:06:55.71
Come on, follow me.
Let's go check it out.
00:06:55.74\00:06:57.55
I was here about five years ago.
00:07:07.99\00:07:10.43
Everything is grown over.
00:07:10.46\00:07:11.79
The jungle grows so rapidly,
00:07:11.83\00:07:13.83
they chop things down every year
00:07:13.90\00:07:16.70
for people to be able
to see this, What is it?
00:07:16.77\00:07:19.13
It's one of the gun emplacements
00:07:19.17\00:07:20.74
of the Japanese army,
00:07:20.77\00:07:22.54
able to reach clear out
on the harbor and beyond.
00:07:22.57\00:07:25.94
You see the ships
out there right now,
00:07:25.97\00:07:28.08
probably no
problem for these guns.
00:07:28.11\00:07:30.05
However, no American
ships ever showed up.
00:07:30.08\00:07:34.48
They just sat here,
00:07:34.52\00:07:35.85
and I don't know that
they fired any rounds.
00:07:35.88\00:07:38.22
Okay, I want
you to follow me now
00:07:41.89\00:07:43.22
I'm going to get down
and head over this way
00:07:43.26\00:07:45.06
and show you something else.
00:07:45.09\00:07:46.43
Now I wanted to
bring you over here
00:07:56.00\00:07:57.51
and show you this area.
00:07:57.54\00:07:58.94
This is where
all the ammunitions
00:07:58.97\00:08:00.88
were stored.
00:08:00.91\00:08:02.84
And on top of this area
too, there's a machine gun area.
00:08:02.88\00:08:07.32
It's all overgrown,
but they're still...
00:08:07.35\00:08:09.08
The bottom line is
there's still remnants of war,
00:08:09.12\00:08:12.09
war scars, war tears apart.
00:08:12.12\00:08:14.99
It's a sad situation
00:08:15.02\00:08:16.36
where we are still
today on planet Earth,
00:08:16.39\00:08:18.43
but I believe Jesus
is going to take care
00:08:18.46\00:08:20.30
of all that very soon.
00:08:20.33\00:08:21.66
You know, the beauty
is absolutely stunning.
00:08:26.40\00:08:28.84
We've got a lot more
for you. So don't go away.
00:08:28.87\00:08:31.07
We'll be right back.
00:08:31.11\00:08:35.41
According to the
World Health Organization,
00:08:35.44\00:08:37.81
depression is a leading
cause of worldwide disability
00:08:37.85\00:08:41.75
that happens to a lot of people.
00:08:41.78\00:08:43.99
Are you depressed?
00:08:44.02\00:08:45.42
Have you become
discouraged lately?
00:08:45.45\00:08:47.59
The list is endless of things
00:08:47.66\00:08:48.99
that can trigger discouragement,
00:08:49.02\00:08:50.56
despair, or even depression.

The three biggest killers
in the islands of Micronesia
00:09:33.34\00:09:36.71
are heart disease,
stroke, and diabetes.
00:09:36.74\00:09:39.81
Canvasback has tackled
00:09:39.84\00:09:41.21
these issues head-on
00:09:41.24\00:09:42.84
by establishing
a wellness center
00:09:42.88\00:09:44.61
on the atoll of Majuro.
00:09:44.65\00:09:47.02
People there eat
very few vegetables.
00:09:47.05\00:09:49.52
Now thanks to Canvasback,
islanders are learning
00:09:49.55\00:09:52.32
how to grow gardens
00:09:52.35\00:09:53.69
in their
backyards and to exercise.
00:09:53.76\00:09:56.06
The lifestyle changes
have been so remarkable.
00:09:56.09\00:09:59.16
The government
invited Canvasback to write
00:09:59.19\00:10:01.60
an entire curriculum for
the public school system.
00:10:01.63\00:10:04.87
Now the lives of the
children are changing too.
00:10:04.90\00:10:07.94
And our trained
neighborhood health teams,
00:10:07.97\00:10:10.14
travel the island to
monitor glucose levels,
00:10:10.21\00:10:13.01
heart rate, and blood pressure.
00:10:13.04\00:10:15.11
It's not uncommon
00:10:15.14\00:10:16.48
to discover glucose
levels of 500 to 600.
00:10:16.51\00:10:19.88
These people are
taken to the hospital
00:10:19.91\00:10:21.95
and once stabilized,
00:10:21.98\00:10:23.42
the team begins
the education process
00:10:23.49\00:10:25.59
to reverse their diabetes.
00:10:25.62\00:10:27.66
That's right.
Reverse their diabetes.
00:10:27.69\00:10:31.46
Many island
nations are asking us
00:10:31.49\00:10:33.40
to come over and help them.
00:10:33.43\00:10:35.43
With your financial help,
00:10:35.46\00:10:37.07
many more islanders
can experience good health.
00:10:37.10\00:10:41.44
Well, I enjoy working
with people like this,
00:10:41.47\00:10:46.54
you know what I am saying.
00:10:46.57\00:10:49.01
I enjoy seeing the [inaudible].
00:10:49.04\00:10:55.25
We see different things...
00:10:55.28\00:10:56.62
The other day we had
this huge abscess in La Ciego
00:10:59.32\00:11:02.62
that ruptured.
00:11:02.66\00:11:03.99
When will I have teams in
different parts of the world...
00:11:04.03\00:11:05.36
Dentists they tell me
00:11:08.80\00:11:10.17
I've only seen these
things in medical books.
00:11:10.20\00:11:11.67
Yeah, you're right.
00:11:11.70\00:11:13.27
Like the guy that we
drained his cheek the other day,
00:11:13.34\00:11:14.84
do you remember?
00:11:14.87\00:11:16.20
Remember, the guy
that had a big sponge.
00:11:16.24\00:11:18.77
I've been
experiencing this rotten teeth,
00:11:18.81\00:11:24.95
affecting the
quality of my speech,
00:11:24.98\00:11:30.22
affecting the
intake of the food,
00:11:30.29\00:11:34.86
and experiencing
00:11:34.89\00:11:38.69
infection, gum, what have you.
00:11:38.73\00:11:42.13
I'm not a
dentist so I don't know.
00:11:42.16\00:11:45.17
And yesterday is a day,
00:11:45.20\00:11:51.84
was a day that I will remember
00:11:51.87\00:11:55.01
for the rest of my natural life
00:11:55.04\00:11:57.68
because that day was a day,
00:11:57.71\00:12:00.02
a dream came true
00:12:00.05\00:12:04.09
that I locally
00:12:04.12\00:12:06.35
and throughout Micronesia,
00:12:06.39\00:12:09.69
throughout the
freely associated states
00:12:09.72\00:12:12.99
RMI, FSM, and Palau.
00:12:13.03\00:12:16.06
I travel around the islands,
00:12:16.10\00:12:20.44
and I've been introduced
00:12:20.47\00:12:23.07
or I was introduced to several,
00:12:23.10\00:12:26.61
with the title dentist,
00:12:26.68\00:12:29.91
they were not able to correct
00:12:29.94\00:12:33.18
my tooth handicap.
00:12:33.21\00:12:38.65
So I gave up hope.
00:12:38.69\00:12:41.49
I said, "It's okay.
00:12:41.52\00:12:42.86
It is meant to be."
00:12:42.89\00:12:45.56
But yesterday, I found that now
00:12:45.59\00:12:50.00
there will be a
day that a chosen one
00:12:50.07\00:12:53.94
will come to my
rescue to revamp,
00:12:53.97\00:12:59.64
rekindle my declining hope
00:12:59.67\00:13:03.95
for better in terms of health.
00:13:03.98\00:13:08.28
So this is an example.
00:13:08.32\00:13:10.22
If I am to go on
to make up the 110%,
00:13:10.29\00:13:13.76
you're going to stay
here for 10 more years.
00:13:13.79\00:13:18.49
Well, I tell you, you know,
00:13:18.53\00:13:19.86
you sit in here today
00:13:19.89\00:13:21.23
with that good look
and smile says a lot.
00:13:21.26\00:13:24.33
Oh, yes.
00:13:24.37\00:13:25.70
I went home yesterday.
00:13:25.73\00:13:27.07
And my wife said,
"Oh, oh, no other man
00:13:27.14\00:13:30.01
is allowed to
set foot in my house.
00:13:30.04\00:13:32.74
Because this house
belongs to me and my husband."
00:13:32.77\00:13:36.58
But I say, "It's me."
00:13:36.61\00:13:38.81
Then she says,
"No, no, no, my husband,
00:13:38.85\00:13:40.52
I used to know him very well.
00:13:40.55\00:13:43.18
Because he is ugly and
his teeth front is ugly.
00:13:43.22\00:13:46.99
And no, no, not
you, get out of the way,
00:13:47.06\00:13:49.42
or I will call police."
00:13:49.46\00:13:50.96
I say, "Honey, it's me,
your husband, Shelten Neth."
00:13:50.99\00:13:54.30
It's hard for me
to keep up going.
00:13:58.93\00:14:00.97
That's wonderful. I love it.
00:14:01.00\00:14:02.74
I love it.
00:14:02.77\00:14:04.44
And she said, "Let me
see your driver's license."
00:14:04.47\00:14:07.38
So I gave her
my driving license.
00:14:07.41\00:14:09.61
And I said, "Okay, give me..."
00:14:09.64\00:14:11.58
She required three...
00:14:11.61\00:14:14.82
What do you call it? Photo IDs.
00:14:14.85\00:14:18.12
So I gave her my
driver's license.
00:14:18.15\00:14:20.56
And she said,
"No, I need two more."
00:14:20.59\00:14:23.26
So I gave her one of
the cards I gave you.
00:14:23.29\00:14:27.40
"No, not enough."
00:14:27.43\00:14:28.76
So I grabbed my passport,
and she said, "It is you."
00:14:28.80\00:14:33.10
Did she let you
in the house then?
00:14:33.13\00:14:35.04
Finally. Finally.
00:14:35.07\00:14:36.40
Otherwise, I would stay outside
00:14:36.44\00:14:37.77
or she will call the police
00:14:37.81\00:14:40.11
to get me arrested
because trespassing.
00:14:40.18\00:14:44.08
What I've seen so
far is your people
00:14:48.62\00:14:51.92
have a wonderful sense of humor.
00:14:51.95\00:14:53.46
I've seen it all
over, it's great.
00:14:53.49\00:14:56.12
Tell me, something else...
00:14:56.16\00:14:57.69
With Canvasback, is
there anything thing
00:14:57.73\00:15:00.13
you could say to our
viewers that would say,
00:15:00.20\00:15:02.13
yes, it's a
worthwhile thing to do.
00:15:02.16\00:15:05.27
I have my PhD in
management and leadership,
00:15:05.30\00:15:10.61
international
management and leadership,
00:15:10.64\00:15:15.18
and I got A+ in my...
00:15:15.21\00:15:19.61
Right up for
00:15:23.12\00:15:27.66
investment.
00:15:27.69\00:15:30.43
And this morning, we
were having this meeting
00:15:30.46\00:15:33.19
and Jackie made mention
of return of investment.
00:15:33.23\00:15:38.90
Acronym of return
of investment is ROI.
00:15:38.93\00:15:43.74
And every investment
00:15:43.81\00:15:46.88
or whoever is
doing an investment
00:15:46.91\00:15:50.58
must do a financial feasibility
00:15:50.65\00:15:55.12
assessment study
00:15:55.15\00:15:57.75
to make sure that
00:15:57.79\00:16:00.86
that investor will spend $1
00:16:00.89\00:16:03.66
to gain $20 or even more.
00:16:03.73\00:16:09.06
And if you are to give me
00:16:09.10\00:16:11.47
certain investment proposals
00:16:11.50\00:16:16.24
for me to look at,
00:16:16.27\00:16:18.11
among others, I will
select Canvasback mission.
00:16:18.14\00:16:23.55
Why?
00:16:23.58\00:16:24.91
Because I will spend $1
00:16:24.95\00:16:29.58
and in return,
00:16:29.62\00:16:31.72
I will get
tangible financial benefit,
00:16:31.75\00:16:35.56
I will get $100,
intangible benefit.
00:16:35.59\00:16:40.60
People, my people,
as a state senator,
00:16:40.63\00:16:44.30
my people will access
00:16:44.33\00:16:48.97
and benefit the best ever
00:16:49.00\00:16:52.87
healthcare services
00:16:52.91\00:16:56.28
that I will call this ministry
00:16:56.31\00:16:59.88
as the best ever
healthcare provider.
00:16:59.91\00:17:04.72
I've been so excited
00:17:04.75\00:17:06.09
just as I've
interviewed doctors on the team
00:17:06.12\00:17:08.92
and other staff
and all the assistance.
00:17:08.96\00:17:14.03
They don't maybe not
have any more vacation time,
00:17:14.10\00:17:16.67
they've spent
their vacation here,
00:17:16.70\00:17:18.17
which is astounding, you know,
00:17:18.20\00:17:19.60
for so many people you
work and you work and work
00:17:19.63\00:17:22.17
so you can take a vacation.
00:17:22.20\00:17:23.71
These people work
00:17:23.74\00:17:25.07
so they can come here and serve.
00:17:25.11\00:17:27.38
It's exciting to me,
00:17:27.41\00:17:28.74
and I can tell
it is for you too.
00:17:28.78\00:17:32.18
In simple words,
a living sacrifice
00:17:32.21\00:17:36.45
for the betterment
of the people in need,
00:17:36.48\00:17:39.62
indescribable,
00:17:39.65\00:17:42.86
inexpressible, immeasurable,
00:17:42.89\00:17:47.96
and my
description is inexhaustible.
00:17:48.00\00:17:52.17
Canvasback Ministry,
00:17:52.20\00:17:56.00
I cannot do a
mathematical formula
00:17:56.04\00:17:58.67
to figure it out the love
00:17:58.71\00:18:01.38
and care of the organizer
00:18:01.41\00:18:04.25
and of those that listen
00:18:04.28\00:18:08.48
and respect and
obey the invitation,
00:18:08.52\00:18:13.76
the call of God to
go out and to deliver...
00:18:13.79\00:18:18.33
That's the key. That's the key.
00:18:18.36\00:18:20.40
And I told them this morning,
00:18:20.43\00:18:23.67
what I learned
from Dr. Dave yesterday,
00:18:23.70\00:18:28.20
where I was talking with him
with amazement and surprises,
00:18:28.24\00:18:33.38
and he told me
to mellow me down.
00:18:33.41\00:18:36.34
He said, "Sir, remember,
00:18:36.38\00:18:41.75
God works
miraculously and mysteriously."
00:18:41.78\00:18:47.72
So thank you, Dr. Dave, my hero,
00:18:47.76\00:18:51.79
let it be stated in the record.
00:18:51.83\00:18:55.13
Thanks again, Senator.
00:18:55.16\00:18:56.50
I appreciate it.
You're most welcome.
00:18:56.53\00:18:57.87
Thank you.
00:18:57.90\00:19:00.44
You've seen the
implements of war,
00:19:00.47\00:19:02.07
you've heard of the cruelty
of humanity toward one another.
00:19:02.10\00:19:04.91
But today, you've also
seen the other side of the coin.
00:19:04.94\00:19:08.01
I like to refer to
it as the God side.
00:19:08.04\00:19:10.85
Those who have been
led have God to reach out
00:19:10.88\00:19:12.81
across the world
and help those in need,
00:19:12.85\00:19:15.32
to impact their
lives in a positive way,
00:19:15.35\00:19:17.99
effecting
changes that will ripple
00:19:18.02\00:19:20.06
to the shores of eternity.
00:19:20.09\00:19:23.36
As a leader in the
field of health in Micronesia,
00:19:23.43\00:19:26.73
Canvasback Missions
has been helping people
00:19:26.80\00:19:29.40
reverse diabetes for years.
00:19:29.43\00:19:32.20
Yes, you heard
correctly, reverse diabetes.
00:19:32.23\00:19:36.30
In addition, we
are helping to reduce
00:19:36.34\00:19:38.31
the incidence of heart disease.
00:19:38.34\00:19:40.51
At least 34 million
people in the US have diabetes.
00:19:40.58\00:19:44.78
Many have no idea they have
it until it's almost too late.
00:19:44.81\00:19:48.75
Many children have diabetes.
00:19:48.78\00:19:51.12
It's time to
stop it in its tracks.
00:19:51.15\00:19:53.56
What's the key?
00:19:53.59\00:19:54.92
Certain foods,
exercise, and many other simple
00:19:54.96\00:19:58.46
yet critical items are combined
to produce amazing results.

00:20:19.38\00:20:22.02
There's a story in the Bible,
a prophet, his name is Elijah.
00:20:34.10\00:20:37.80
It's a very important story
00:20:37.83\00:20:39.50
because it pertains to
us too in many, many ways.
00:20:39.53\00:20:42.94
See, Elijah was a
prophet for Israel.
00:20:42.97\00:20:45.51
He spoke for God to
the children of Israel,
00:20:45.54\00:20:47.38
but they no
longer wanted to listen.
00:20:47.41\00:20:50.18
God withheld
rain for three years
00:20:50.25\00:20:52.08
by the command of the prophet.
00:20:52.11\00:20:54.45
And everybody started
listening again, you see,
00:20:54.48\00:20:56.89
when blessings are withheld,
you begin reaching out to God.
00:20:56.92\00:21:01.49
When you receive blessings,
00:21:01.52\00:21:02.96
you don't even think about God,
00:21:02.99\00:21:04.33
but when they're withheld,
00:21:04.36\00:21:05.69
then you begin paying attention
00:21:05.73\00:21:07.10
to see if
there's something else.
00:21:07.13\00:21:08.46
And that's what happened
with the children of Israel.
00:21:08.50\00:21:11.00
They begin paying attention.
00:21:11.03\00:21:12.63
And Elijah said, "Look,
00:21:12.67\00:21:14.04
we're going to go
up on the mountain,
00:21:14.07\00:21:15.40
you bring all
your false prophets,
00:21:15.44\00:21:17.31
and I'll meet with you up there,
00:21:17.34\00:21:18.67
and we'll see who answers."
00:21:18.71\00:21:21.14
This answer, this quest,
it was to build an altar,
00:21:21.18\00:21:25.25
put an offering upon it,
00:21:25.28\00:21:26.82
and then let the false
prophets dance all around
00:21:26.85\00:21:30.22
and do all of the
things they did to try
00:21:30.29\00:21:32.55
and call out to their
god to answer by fire.
00:21:32.59\00:21:36.29
No answer.
00:21:36.32\00:21:37.66
They cut
themselves, they danced,
00:21:37.69\00:21:39.03
they shouted,
they did everything.
00:21:39.06\00:21:40.80
Matter of fact, at
one point, Elijah said,
00:21:40.83\00:21:42.86
"Maybe your god's asleep,
00:21:42.90\00:21:44.33
call out a little
louder, yell a little louder,
00:21:44.37\00:21:46.20
wake him up."
00:21:46.23\00:21:47.77
Well, he never woke up.
00:21:47.80\00:21:49.74
And as the evening time
came when it was about time
00:21:49.77\00:21:52.57
for the sacrifice,
Elijah called upon God,
00:21:52.61\00:21:56.75
and God answered by fire.
00:21:56.78\00:21:58.61
Matter of fact, let me back
up in the story just a little,
00:21:58.65\00:22:01.25
Elijah was so sure
that God would answer.
00:22:01.28\00:22:03.79
He told them take big barrels,
and they went down to the sea.
00:22:03.82\00:22:06.76
They carried the
barrels up the mountain,
00:22:06.79\00:22:08.42
they dumped them on the altar,
00:22:08.46\00:22:09.79
they dug a pit,
they dumped water,
00:22:09.82\00:22:11.59
flowing all around the
pit, drenched everything.
00:22:11.63\00:22:14.50
And then he calls upon God.
00:22:14.53\00:22:17.30
And guess what?
00:22:17.37\00:22:19.43
God answers by fire,
He laps up the offering,
00:22:19.47\00:22:22.07
He laps up the stone,
00:22:22.10\00:22:23.44
He laps up all the
water, He laps up everything.
00:22:23.51\00:22:26.51
Elijah looks at
the people and said
00:22:26.54\00:22:27.88
"God be God,
serve Him, serve Him."
00:22:27.91\00:22:31.51
And destroyed all
of the false prophets.
00:22:31.55\00:22:34.88
Word filtered back to the king.
00:22:34.92\00:22:37.62
And guess who got upset?
00:22:37.65\00:22:39.85
The king's wife, Jezebel.
00:22:39.89\00:22:41.72
Jezebel was so upset,
00:22:41.76\00:22:43.09
she sent out word
to go kill the prophet.
00:22:43.12\00:22:45.73
He was so scared of
her, he took off running.
00:22:45.76\00:22:47.76
After God
totally answered by fire,
00:22:52.07\00:22:54.17
he destroyed all the prophets,
00:22:54.24\00:22:56.34
but then Jezebel,
the queen heard about it.
00:22:56.37\00:22:59.01
She was so angry,
00:22:59.04\00:23:00.38
she issued an
edict to destroy Elijah.
00:23:00.41\00:23:04.61
He was scared to
death, all of a sudden.
00:23:04.65\00:23:06.21
He'd stood for God,
he was scared to death.
00:23:06.25\00:23:08.22
And he ran all
the way to this brook.
00:23:08.25\00:23:10.39
By the time he got to the brook,
00:23:10.42\00:23:12.05
he was so tired, he fell asleep.
00:23:12.09\00:23:15.09
He wakes up, an
angel shakes him,
00:23:15.12\00:23:17.33
jiggles him, and
there's food prepared,
00:23:17.36\00:23:18.99
he eats the food,
he falls back to sleep.
00:23:19.03\00:23:21.70
Again, the shake.
00:23:21.73\00:23:23.30
An angel wakes him again
and there's more food prepared.
00:23:23.37\00:23:25.83
He eats that
food, and now he runs,
00:23:25.87\00:23:28.24
he heads out for 40 days,
00:23:28.27\00:23:30.11
he runs and runs
and runs to the cave.
00:23:30.14\00:23:31.84
Elijah ran into the cave.
00:23:37.58\00:23:39.58
After the 40 days he ran
all the way into the cave.
00:23:39.61\00:23:42.52
And he huddled there,
he stayed in the cave.
00:23:42.55\00:23:44.65
And then after a
while, in Chapter 19 of Kings,
00:23:44.69\00:23:48.79
it says,
00:23:48.82\00:23:50.36
"And the Word of the
Lord came to him and said,
00:23:50.43\00:23:52.76
'What are you doing there?
00:23:52.79\00:23:54.63
Elijah, what are
you doing there?'"
00:23:54.66\00:23:56.53
You see, God never
called him to the cave.
00:23:56.56\00:23:59.53
God never called him to run,
00:23:59.57\00:24:01.20
he had represented
the king of the universe.
00:24:01.24\00:24:03.41
There is no power on earth
that could stand against God.
00:24:03.44\00:24:07.11
And now he'd run.
00:24:07.18\00:24:09.44
And he said, "Well, I've
been very jealous for you,
00:24:09.48\00:24:11.35
Lord, I've done
this, and I've done this,
00:24:11.38\00:24:12.75
and I've done this."
00:24:12.78\00:24:14.12
And he lists this
whole litany of things
00:24:14.15\00:24:15.68
that he'd done for God.
00:24:15.72\00:24:17.62
Then God says, "Go forth.
00:24:17.65\00:24:20.76
Come out of the cave."
00:24:20.79\00:24:22.52
Then he came out
of the cave, He said,
00:24:22.56\00:24:25.46
"Stand up on the mountain here."
00:24:25.49\00:24:27.33
And the Lord passed
by, and the mountain shook,
00:24:27.40\00:24:30.57
the earthquake,
the rocks fell down.
00:24:30.60\00:24:33.54
But God wasn't in any of that.
00:24:33.57\00:24:36.17
And then a mighty
wind, God wasn't in the wind.
00:24:36.20\00:24:40.58
And then it says again
00:24:40.61\00:24:41.94
the third earthquake,
and there was a fire.
00:24:41.98\00:24:44.68
But God wasn't in the fire.
00:24:44.71\00:24:46.92
And then in Verse 12, it says,
00:24:46.95\00:24:49.25
"After the fire, a
still small voice."
00:24:49.28\00:24:53.46
God spoke to him
very gently, very softly.
00:24:53.49\00:24:56.39
He's the mighty
God of the universe.
00:24:56.42\00:24:57.79
He has the power.
00:24:57.83\00:24:59.16
You know, in the New Testament
00:24:59.19\00:25:01.23
it speaks of two types of power,
00:25:01.26\00:25:03.06
especially the exousía,
00:25:03.10\00:25:05.37
which is the Greek
for the authority of God
00:25:05.40\00:25:07.74
and the dunamis,
00:25:07.77\00:25:09.47
where we get our
word from the Greek,
00:25:09.50\00:25:11.31
the dynamite power of God.
00:25:11.34\00:25:13.91
God is the authority of
the creator of everything.
00:25:13.98\00:25:16.18
And He also has the
power to back it up.
00:25:16.21\00:25:18.38
But He spoke to Elijah now
and it's still small voice.
00:25:18.41\00:25:22.92
And again, He said,
"What are you doing here?"
00:25:22.95\00:25:25.25
Well, Elijah one more time,
00:25:25.29\00:25:26.62
he tries to justify why he'd run
00:25:26.65\00:25:29.12
and didn't
represent God properly.
00:25:29.16\00:25:30.86
And he again lists a
whole litany of things.
00:25:30.93\00:25:33.93
And then God
basically says to him,
00:25:34.00\00:25:35.90
"Now, it's time
to anoint somebody
00:25:35.93\00:25:38.73
here as the new ruler.
00:25:38.77\00:25:40.64
And it's also time to
appoint your successor."
00:25:40.67\00:25:44.31
Yeah, we'll see.
00:25:44.34\00:25:45.67
When we get kind of carried away
00:25:45.71\00:25:47.11
with self-importance, God says,
00:25:47.18\00:25:48.81
"Okay, it's time to
appoint somebody else.
00:25:48.84\00:25:52.08
And so Elijah had to go
00:25:52.11\00:25:54.22
and appoint his
successor prophet in the line,
00:25:54.25\00:25:56.89
but he got it, he understood it,
00:25:56.92\00:25:59.42
he knew what was happening,
00:25:59.45\00:26:02.46
and he understood
that still small voice
00:26:02.49\00:26:04.46
and from that time on, he
represented God perfectly.
00:26:04.49\00:26:09.03
God may be speaking to you.
00:26:09.06\00:26:10.77
If, you know,
there may be earthquake,
00:26:10.80\00:26:12.47
there may be wind,
00:26:12.50\00:26:13.84
there may be fire
to get your attention
00:26:13.87\00:26:16.04
but then listen carefully,
00:26:16.07\00:26:17.74
because God is
going to speak to you
00:26:17.77\00:26:19.64
in a still small voice.
00:26:19.67\00:26:21.68
"Come unto me, all you who labor
00:26:21.71\00:26:24.15
and are heavy laden,
I will give you rest."
00:26:24.18\00:26:27.12
I invite you today, come to God.
00:26:27.15\00:26:29.18
God will give you the rest
00:26:29.22\00:26:31.09
that you need
here on planet earth
00:26:31.12\00:26:33.12
to get you through these times.
00:26:33.15\00:26:34.49
Today, Senator Neth
has a beautiful smile,
00:26:45.27\00:26:48.50
thanks to the
Canvasback dental team.
00:26:48.54\00:26:51.54
After his restoration,
with a big smile, he joked that
00:26:51.57\00:26:54.71
his wife didn't even know
00:26:54.74\00:26:56.58
who the stranger was
who came to her home.
