I'm here with a lot of
clams on one of the islands
00:00:01.40\00:00:04.17
just on a way from Nan Madol.
00:00:04.20\00:00:07.64
You think about
a clam and pearls,
00:00:07.67\00:00:10.77
it gets a teeny single
grain of sand inside somehow,
00:00:10.81\00:00:15.51
it begins an irritation
process and that clam excretes
00:00:15.54\00:00:20.22
and forms, wrapping
00:00:20.25\00:00:22.72
around that
sand seed as it were,
00:00:22.75\00:00:26.62
and it grows and grows
00:00:26.65\00:00:27.99
until it produces a
gorgeous and beautiful pearl.
00:00:28.02\00:00:30.86
Today, we're going to
look at some irritation.
00:00:30.89\00:00:34.00
And we're going to look at
00:00:34.03\00:00:35.36
what happened in
some beautiful pearls.
00:00:35.40\00:00:36.90
Stay tuned.
00:00:36.93\00:00:38.27
You know, when
Jesus came to this earth,
00:00:59.35\00:01:00.86
He came with a specific purpose
of calling us back to Himself.
00:01:00.89\00:01:04.79
We've wandered far away
00:01:04.83\00:01:06.16
and His every act was
designed to draw us closer.
00:01:06.19\00:01:09.56
Much of his time was spent
00:01:09.60\00:01:10.93
in relieving suffering and pain.
00:01:10.97\00:01:12.90
He's called us to do the same,
00:01:12.93\00:01:14.37
hence the mission of Canvasback
00:01:14.40\00:01:16.81
to be the healing
hands to a suffering world.
00:01:16.84\00:01:19.54
Tell me what you think
00:01:31.05\00:01:32.39
of what Canvasback is
doing here at the hospital,
00:01:32.42\00:01:36.22
the team that comes to?
00:01:36.26\00:01:37.59
Oh, fantastic.
00:01:37.63\00:01:38.96
I wish they could
be here for six months.
00:01:38.99\00:01:42.63
If it's beyond six months,
00:01:42.66\00:01:44.00
then they would
not have patients here.
00:01:44.03\00:01:45.50
Okay, but there's six
months worth of patients?
00:01:45.53\00:01:47.47
Yeah.
00:01:47.50\00:01:48.84
I think so,
00:01:48.87\00:01:50.21
just they need to go
through the process of exam.
00:01:50.24\00:01:53.81
And some of them may not need,
00:01:53.84\00:01:55.94
but there's a lot of them
that need that to have that...
00:01:55.98\00:01:59.78
We think you
are, could you direct?
00:02:04.72\00:02:07.42
Would you hold that for me?
00:02:07.46\00:02:08.92
See how it's doing today?
00:02:08.96\00:02:11.36
Umm,
00:02:11.39\00:02:12.73
T Z C O
00:02:12.76\00:02:17.37
L D P O F.
00:02:17.40\00:02:20.44
P T O C E T.
00:02:20.47\00:02:23.54
So, Mara, do you
understand the language now
00:02:27.78\00:02:29.74
that you've been here?
00:02:29.78\00:02:31.11
I don't. I don't.
00:02:31.15\00:02:34.88
I really need to work
on it a little bit, though.
00:02:34.92\00:02:36.69
I know.
00:02:36.72\00:02:38.05
I can tell when they say good.
00:02:38.09\00:02:40.76
I know one thing
that you understand
00:02:40.79\00:02:42.32
the language of
love and so do they.
00:02:42.36\00:02:43.96
Yeah, there's,
00:02:43.99\00:02:45.33
I think a lot is
expressed through body language
00:02:45.36\00:02:47.80
when we don't have
that communication.
00:02:47.83\00:02:52.23
You can still just smile
00:02:52.27\00:02:55.17
and make them feel comfortable
00:02:55.20\00:02:57.24
without really understanding
their language at all.
00:02:57.27\00:02:59.97
And, Mara, you're
here at Canvasback Mission.
00:03:05.25\00:03:08.52
Why are you here?
00:03:08.55\00:03:09.88
I...
00:03:09.92\00:03:11.25
Volunteerism as
an important role
00:03:11.29\00:03:13.05
in what I do personally
and as well as with our clinic.
00:03:13.09\00:03:16.02
So...
00:03:16.06\00:03:17.39
And what's your expertise?
00:03:17.43\00:03:18.76
All right, so
ophthalmic techs at our clinic,
00:03:18.79\00:03:21.70
we work with patients,
00:03:21.73\00:03:23.06
we kind of triage
what the needs might be,
00:03:23.10\00:03:25.30
and then move forward
00:03:25.33\00:03:26.70
and communicate
it to the doctor.
00:03:26.74\00:03:29.04
How many years have
you worked at your clinic?
00:03:29.07\00:03:30.71
Almost five.
00:03:30.74\00:03:32.07
Five years? So you got
five years of experience.
00:03:32.11\00:03:34.28
And I assume you
get a little vacation
00:03:34.31\00:03:36.51
from your clinic.
00:03:36.54\00:03:38.48
But I've also got a feeling
00:03:38.51\00:03:39.98
you spend that
vacation time here.
00:03:40.02\00:03:43.05
Doing other volunteer events.
00:03:43.08\00:03:44.52
This is my first time in
Pohnpei, so that's exciting.
00:03:44.55\00:03:48.49
Why on earth do you spend
vacation time volunteering,
00:03:48.52\00:03:51.89
doing more of the
things that you do at home?
00:03:51.93\00:03:55.10
There's just a...
00:03:55.13\00:03:56.73
In our house, there's a saying
that hope anchors the soul.
00:03:56.77\00:03:59.43
And I think when we volunteer,
00:03:59.47\00:04:00.94
we provide hope to other people.
00:04:00.97\00:04:02.67
And doing that
is really important.
00:04:02.70\00:04:05.57
So it's something that
I get fulfillment from,
00:04:05.61\00:04:09.08
and I'm starting to
pass it on to my kids.
00:04:09.11\00:04:11.35
My kids have been
joining me on some of the events
00:04:11.38\00:04:13.95
and it's really even
better to see as a parent
00:04:13.98\00:04:17.12
when your children
become that same person
00:04:17.15\00:04:19.59
and giving back
00:04:19.62\00:04:20.96
and finding the
joy out of doing so.
00:04:20.99\00:04:23.02
Now your children
enjoying not, not overseas.
00:04:23.06\00:04:25.76
Not overseas.
00:04:25.79\00:04:27.13
I want it, I would bring them.
00:04:27.16\00:04:28.96
This was my first
time going overseas.
00:04:29.00\00:04:30.67
So I wanted to try first
00:04:30.70\00:04:32.43
and then there's potential
00:04:32.47\00:04:34.30
I would love to have them do it.
00:04:34.34\00:04:35.67
And what do you think
of this experience now
00:04:35.70\00:04:37.04
that you're here?
00:04:37.07\00:04:38.41
It's amazing.
00:04:38.44\00:04:39.77
I am full of
gratitude for the opportunity
00:04:39.81\00:04:42.04
that people are
very patient with us
00:04:42.08\00:04:44.35
as we learn our quirks
00:04:44.38\00:04:45.71
and trying to
work out our kinks.
00:04:45.75\00:04:47.42
And they're very grateful
00:04:47.45\00:04:48.78
for the
services they're getting.
00:04:48.82\00:04:50.15
So it makes it
even more rewarding.
00:04:50.19\00:04:52.35
I know there's no way
that we can possibly capture
00:04:52.39\00:04:55.92
all the people and the
lives that have been changed,
00:04:55.96\00:04:58.79
but what are some of the moments
00:04:58.83\00:05:01.36
that you've peeled
back those bandages,
00:05:01.40\00:05:03.50
and you've had some
really cool experiences.
00:05:03.53\00:05:05.23
There have been,
00:05:05.27\00:05:06.60
we have a patient
00:05:06.63\00:05:07.97
who is actually
a retina patient.
00:05:08.00\00:05:09.34
So the anticipation
after cataract surgery
00:05:09.37\00:05:10.91
wasn't to improve his vision,
00:05:10.94\00:05:12.57
it was actually
to improve our view
00:05:12.61\00:05:14.18
to correct his retina.
00:05:14.21\00:05:16.24
But yesterday, when
we took this tape off,
00:05:16.28\00:05:18.61
we took it off and he said,
00:05:18.65\00:05:19.98
"That's what I'm talking about."
00:05:20.02\00:05:21.52
And those are the
moments that you get that,
00:05:21.55\00:05:24.09
okay, this is
really why I'm here.
00:05:24.12\00:05:26.76
Or there was a
gentleman yesterday,
00:05:26.79\00:05:28.46
we took the tape off, and
they're very reserved here.
00:05:28.49\00:05:31.09
So they don't show emotion.
00:05:31.13\00:05:32.59
But he became very welled up,
00:05:32.63\00:05:34.40
and had tears in his eyes
00:05:34.43\00:05:35.76
and said, "It's good.
00:05:35.80\00:05:37.13
It's good."
00:05:37.17\00:05:38.50
And so those are the
moments that should go,
00:05:38.53\00:05:40.14
this is why I'm here.
00:05:40.17\00:05:41.50
Even if it's just a
handful, they're worth it.
00:05:41.54\00:05:44.17
There's other people
00:05:44.21\00:05:45.54
maybe today that are
kind of thinking about,
00:05:45.57\00:05:47.44
maybe, you know,
I'd like to go sometime,
00:05:47.48\00:05:49.14
what would you tell those people
00:05:49.18\00:05:50.51
if they're hesitating?
00:05:50.55\00:05:51.88
I would say don't
hesitate, participate.
00:05:51.91\00:05:54.45
I think that we all
have the time to volunteer
00:05:54.48\00:05:56.58
if we make it
00:05:56.62\00:05:57.95
and it's something that
you cannot monetarily ever
00:05:57.99\00:06:03.39
put a value on.
00:06:03.43\00:06:04.76
So you truly see Canvasback
making an impact on lives?
00:06:04.79\00:06:07.43
Huge. I think it's an amazing.
00:06:07.46\00:06:10.33
Jacque has a program
00:06:10.37\00:06:12.70
that is unlike
any other I've seen,
00:06:12.73\00:06:15.17
and I
participate in quite a few.
00:06:15.20\00:06:17.51
In the US, it's
a little different.
00:06:17.54\00:06:19.17
But she has it down to a science
00:06:19.21\00:06:21.44
and it's an amazing program.
00:06:21.48\00:06:23.31
The things are
very well thought out,
00:06:23.35\00:06:26.25
they're very much
return on investment
00:06:26.28\00:06:28.58
is beyond measure
with the monetary value.
00:06:28.62\00:06:31.79
Now you say the ROI,
return on investment.
00:06:31.82\00:06:36.86
Here it's free,
00:06:36.89\00:06:38.23
that the clinic basically
00:06:38.26\00:06:39.59
of what
Canvasback is doing is free.
00:06:39.63\00:06:41.50
Correct.
00:06:41.53\00:06:42.86
But I understand that all of it,
00:06:42.90\00:06:45.37
if you took a doctor
back in the United States
00:06:45.40\00:06:47.54
and did some of
these procedures,
00:06:47.57\00:06:48.90
it could be $10,000,
00:06:48.94\00:06:50.71
$12,000 by the time in hospital
00:06:50.74\00:06:53.27
and that's just some...
00:06:53.31\00:06:54.64
Yes, I mean,
average out of pocket costs
00:06:54.68\00:06:56.51
for cataract surgery
00:06:56.54\00:06:58.25
without post-op
00:06:58.28\00:07:00.28
is upwards of
$7, 000 per patient
00:07:00.32\00:07:03.55
for just a standard lens.
00:07:03.59\00:07:05.69
And so that's significant
to be able to provide.
00:07:05.72\00:07:10.29
And when we provide
that to the people here,
00:07:10.33\00:07:12.76
it comes back to the community,
00:07:12.79\00:07:14.13
you have someone
who has been able
00:07:14.16\00:07:15.50
to be a contributing
member of the community
00:07:15.53\00:07:18.10
who's able to do those things
00:07:18.13\00:07:19.47
and work and be
able to help care
00:07:19.50\00:07:21.84
for potentially grandchildren
so their children can work.
00:07:21.87\00:07:24.54
There's a whole bigger picture
that is part of that process.
00:07:24.57\00:07:29.44
So it's nice to see that.
00:07:29.48\00:07:31.48
I heard one story.
00:07:31.51\00:07:33.92
I think it was a previous clinic
00:07:33.95\00:07:35.78
not long ago
with a fellow came in.
00:07:35.82\00:07:37.69
He said, "I can't fish anymore.
00:07:37.72\00:07:39.42
I can't do
anything for myself anymore.
00:07:39.45\00:07:41.32
I can't go swimming."
00:07:41.36\00:07:42.69
This happened to be an
ear, he had an ear situation.
00:07:42.72\00:07:46.39
Doctors took care of him,
00:07:46.43\00:07:48.66
and he just, he
was so overjoyed,
00:07:48.70\00:07:50.33
said, "I can fish again,
00:07:50.37\00:07:51.93
I can swim, I can
stand out in the rain."
00:07:51.97\00:07:54.24
He said, "It's like
stand out in the rain."
00:07:54.27\00:07:56.34
We never think of
something like that.
00:07:56.37\00:07:57.71
But these people,
00:07:57.74\00:07:59.07
there's so many ways
00:07:59.11\00:08:00.44
that Canvasback
does impact their life.
00:08:00.48\00:08:01.81
It's huge.
00:08:01.84\00:08:03.18
And many patients are
hand motion in both eyes.
00:08:03.21\00:08:04.98
So they're
walking around the world
00:08:05.01\00:08:06.35
literally watching shadows.
00:08:06.38\00:08:08.45
And they have to have help,
00:08:08.48\00:08:10.35
they cannot go to
the store themselves.
00:08:10.39\00:08:12.12
They can't see
what they're purchasing,
00:08:12.15\00:08:13.56
they can't get their own food,
00:08:13.59\00:08:14.92
they can't prep their own meals.
00:08:14.96\00:08:16.29
There's a lot that
comes with your vision
00:08:16.32\00:08:17.83
that we take for granted
00:08:17.86\00:08:19.73
without looking at
situations like these.
00:08:19.76\00:08:21.70
And I think
that's the biggest part.
00:08:21.73\00:08:24.03
So now it frees up not only them
00:08:24.07\00:08:25.90
but a family member,
00:08:25.93\00:08:27.27
at least one family member too,
be more productive and learn.
00:08:27.30\00:08:30.91
Well, you're
going to do this again?
00:08:30.94\00:08:33.27
Absolutely.
00:08:33.31\00:08:34.64
Why?
00:08:34.68\00:08:36.01
I think being able to
help people in this way
00:08:36.04\00:08:40.15
is something that you just,
00:08:40.18\00:08:42.15
you have to
experience to understand it.
00:08:42.18\00:08:44.99
And the amount of
personal fulfillment
00:08:45.02\00:08:47.86
I get from volunteering
00:08:47.89\00:08:49.22
is something that I
can't get doing anything else.
00:08:49.26\00:08:53.43
So, and I do,
00:08:53.46\00:08:54.90
I love my job just as
much as I love volunteering,
00:08:54.93\00:08:57.70
because I'm
fortunate enough to get paid
00:08:57.73\00:09:00.24
to do something I love.
00:09:00.27\00:09:01.94
But giving back is a
really important thing.
00:09:01.97\00:09:04.47
We talked a moment ago
00:09:04.51\00:09:05.84
about the ROI
receiving on investment,
00:09:05.87\00:09:08.58
the investment by the donors.
00:09:08.61\00:09:11.98
It's multiplied,
right, as we talked about.
00:09:12.01\00:09:14.88
If you wouldn't mind,
00:09:14.92\00:09:16.25
talk with our
donors for a moment
00:09:16.28\00:09:17.62
or someone who
may be considering
00:09:17.65\00:09:19.32
giving to Canvasback,
00:09:19.35\00:09:20.69
why should they do it?
00:09:20.72\00:09:22.36
I think that when
you invest in a person,
00:09:22.39\00:09:25.39
the investment you get back
00:09:25.43\00:09:27.56
in the form of a
community is priceless.
00:09:27.60\00:09:31.03
There's no dollar
amount you can put on that.
00:09:31.07\00:09:33.47
And if something as
simple as a $10 donation,
00:09:33.50\00:09:36.07
I mean, that's two
cups of coffee for us.
00:09:36.10\00:09:38.94
But you can provide someone
00:09:38.97\00:09:40.41
the ability to have an
entire life of freedom.
00:09:40.44\00:09:43.98
Again,
00:09:44.01\00:09:45.35
that's a pretty big
return on investment.
00:09:45.38\00:09:47.58
So Jacque's program is amazing.
00:09:47.62\00:09:50.39
Canvasback has
been amazing so...
00:09:50.42\00:09:52.65
I know you've got to go,
00:09:52.69\00:09:54.02
you've got a stack of patients
and you've got to finish lunch.
00:09:54.06\00:09:56.73
Stack of charts.
00:09:56.76\00:09:58.09
But tell me, is
there any last thing
00:09:58.13\00:09:59.53
you'd like to share?
00:09:59.56\00:10:01.43
I think that this is my first
overseas volunteer program.
00:10:01.46\00:10:05.67
Hopefully not my last,
00:10:05.70\00:10:07.30
I would
definitely participate again.
00:10:07.34\00:10:09.64
It's well run.
00:10:09.67\00:10:11.01
It's well received.
00:10:11.04\00:10:12.47
And it's well tuned.
00:10:12.51\00:10:14.61
And I think that it's
a, it's a very important,
00:10:14.64\00:10:17.81
impactful program
that's much needed.
00:10:17.85\00:10:21.48
Mara, thank you so
much for joining us.
00:10:21.52\00:10:22.98
I know you've busy
schedule, and you got to go.
00:10:23.02\00:10:24.35
But thanks again.
00:10:24.39\00:10:25.72
Yes, thank you.
00:10:25.75\00:10:27.09
All right.
00:10:27.12\00:10:28.46
The Super Teams
are making an impact
00:10:33.70\00:10:35.43
on hearts and lives,
00:10:35.46\00:10:36.80
a miracle at a
time, but there's more,
00:10:36.83\00:10:38.43
so stay tuned.
00:10:38.47\00:10:39.80
According to the
World Health Organization,
00:10:42.87\00:10:45.37
depression is the leading
cause of worldwide disability
00:10:45.41\00:10:49.24
that happens to a lot of people.
00:10:49.28\00:10:51.58
Are you depressed?
00:10:51.61\00:10:52.95
Have you become
discouraged lately?
00:10:52.98\00:10:55.08
The list is endless of things
00:10:55.12\00:10:56.45
that can trigger discouragement,
00:10:56.48\00:10:58.15
despair, or even depression.
00:10:58.19\00:11:00.56

you know is experiencing

Riburty was born blind.
00:11:41.16\00:11:42.96
That's right.
00:11:43.00\00:11:44.33
He couldn't see it all.
00:11:44.37\00:11:45.70
The entire family
were his caregivers.
00:11:45.73\00:11:48.60
Their lives were
completely tied to the needs
00:11:48.64\00:11:51.27
of their little son.
00:11:51.31\00:11:53.17
The doctors at the
hospital lacked the experience
00:11:53.21\00:11:56.75
to provide him
with surgical help.
00:11:56.78\00:11:59.51
This situation
continued for six long years.
00:11:59.55\00:12:03.79
Making less than $100 per month,
00:12:03.82\00:12:06.49
there is no way to
ever afford the surgery.
00:12:06.52\00:12:09.99
Even if they
could fly off island,
00:12:10.03\00:12:12.99
the surgery in another
country could be $12,000.
00:12:13.03\00:12:17.60
It looked like
all hope was gone.
00:12:17.63\00:12:20.24
Enter the Canvasback Super Team.
00:12:20.27\00:12:22.90
Riburty was examined and
the surgery was performed.
00:12:22.94\00:12:26.31
The day the bandages came off,
00:12:26.34\00:12:28.61
he saw his parents and siblings
00:12:28.64\00:12:30.38
for the very first time.
00:12:30.41\00:12:32.51
He and the family were set free.
00:12:32.55\00:12:35.48
There are more
children like Riburty
00:12:35.52\00:12:37.49
who are in desperate need.
00:12:37.52\00:12:39.32
You can change many lives.
00:12:39.35\00:12:41.42
Please give sight to the blind.

00:12:46.39\00:12:49.26
I'm here with a lot of
clams on one of the islands.
00:12:49.30\00:12:52.60
You know, you think about a clam
00:12:52.63\00:12:54.30
and it's a single grain of sand
00:12:54.34\00:12:56.10
that gets inside
begins irritating that clam.
00:12:56.14\00:12:59.14
And they wrap it all up,
00:12:59.17\00:13:01.04
they continually
coat that until what?
00:13:01.08\00:13:03.68
It forms a beautiful pearl.
00:13:03.71\00:13:05.85
Today we're going to
talk about some pearls,
00:13:05.88\00:13:08.05
the irritation in people's lives
00:13:08.08\00:13:09.85
but you're going to find out
00:13:09.88\00:13:11.22
some amazing
beautiful things that happen
00:13:11.25\00:13:13.52
because of the irritation.
00:13:13.56\00:13:15.06
Giant clam, boy, is
it ugly on the outside,
00:13:18.26\00:13:22.43
no beauty.
00:13:22.46\00:13:24.30
But I think you
know something else,
00:13:24.33\00:13:26.97
this clam gets a
single grain of sand inside
00:13:27.00\00:13:30.24
and forms eventually from that
00:13:30.27\00:13:33.61
single grain of
sand a beautiful pearl.
00:13:33.64\00:13:35.24
A beautiful pearl inside this.
00:13:35.28\00:13:37.55
Now come with me, I
want to show you something.
00:13:37.58\00:13:39.21
I really wanted to show you
00:13:42.72\00:13:44.05
ones that are
cleaned up a little bit.
00:13:44.09\00:13:45.42
I actually didn't
want to grab the others
00:13:45.45\00:13:46.82
because they've been out
on the beach a little bit
00:13:46.86\00:13:48.72
and they're really smelly.
00:13:48.76\00:13:50.09
But I think about it,
00:13:50.13\00:13:51.46
you know, Jesus came
down to planet earth,
00:13:51.49\00:13:53.60
this really smelly planet,
00:13:53.63\00:13:56.00
the only place in the cosmos
00:13:56.03\00:13:58.93
where sin and
suffering has occurred.
00:13:58.97\00:14:01.77
It actually
started way back in heaven,
00:14:01.80\00:14:04.01
God created, well,
00:14:04.04\00:14:06.81
an entire, an
entire angelic host.
00:14:06.84\00:14:09.61
And amongst that
host was a being Lucifer,
00:14:09.64\00:14:12.81
the light bearer.
00:14:12.85\00:14:14.58
Lucifer stood right next to God.
00:14:14.62\00:14:17.39
In this situation, he
began looking in himself.
00:14:17.42\00:14:20.22
I don't know how it occurred,
00:14:20.26\00:14:21.59
but God had
created every single being
00:14:21.62\00:14:24.26
with absolute
complete and free will.
00:14:24.29\00:14:26.76
That meant he could
deviate from God's desired path
00:14:26.80\00:14:29.96
and God's original plan.
00:14:30.00\00:14:32.07
Well, he certainly did deviate,
00:14:32.10\00:14:33.50
because he ended up
creating war in all of heaven.
00:14:33.54\00:14:36.64
He fought with
his angels against God
00:14:36.67\00:14:38.71
and the angels
that stayed with God.
00:14:38.74\00:14:41.58
Now, not all of them
00:14:41.61\00:14:43.01
really even
understood what was going on.
00:14:43.04\00:14:45.21
They had never
experienced anything like this.
00:14:45.25\00:14:47.48
They'd never experienced sin.
00:14:47.52\00:14:49.38
But here in this situation,
00:14:49.42\00:14:50.82
there's actually
a war that breaks up
00:14:50.85\00:14:52.89
whether it was an
actual war, or a war of ideas.
00:14:52.92\00:14:56.96
We really won't know
until we get there to ask God.
00:14:56.99\00:15:00.13
But the end result is,
00:15:00.16\00:15:01.50
He cast the devil now
down here to planet earth.
00:15:01.53\00:15:05.30
He had just
created Adam and Eve.
00:15:05.33\00:15:08.70
What a beautiful
couple? What a beautiful scene?
00:15:08.74\00:15:11.04
He'd set everything
to be absolutely perfect
00:15:11.07\00:15:13.68
and beautiful for them
in this gorgeous garden,
00:15:13.71\00:15:16.85
that they might
take care of this garden,
00:15:16.88\00:15:18.75
that they might flourish
and enjoy everything forever.
00:15:18.78\00:15:22.85
But God says there is one
00:15:22.88\00:15:24.59
that's going to
try and tempt you.
00:15:24.62\00:15:26.59
And I've only allowed
him to come to this one area,
00:15:26.62\00:15:29.42
this one tree,
00:15:29.46\00:15:30.79
the tree of
knowledge of good and evil,
00:15:30.83\00:15:32.63
don't go around
it, don't go near it.
00:15:32.66\00:15:35.26
But one day, Eve
is wandering around,
00:15:35.30\00:15:38.20
and she's taking
care of the garden,
00:15:38.23\00:15:39.57
she wanders away from Adam side.
00:15:39.60\00:15:42.30
And lo and behold, she
sees this beautiful tree.
00:15:42.34\00:15:46.04
And in that tree is a serpent
00:15:46.07\00:15:48.34
kind of speaks in a human voice.
00:15:48.38\00:15:50.15
A human voice says eat.
00:15:50.18\00:15:52.31
"What you're doing Eve, darling.
00:15:52.35\00:15:54.75
Hey, check this tree out.
00:15:54.78\00:15:57.22
Why don't you
look at the fruit?"
00:15:57.25\00:15:58.59
And she looks at the
fruit. She beholds it.
00:15:58.62\00:16:00.46
"Beautiful, it's gorgeous."
00:16:00.49\00:16:02.16
And then, he said,
"Go ahead, try it."
00:16:02.19\00:16:06.33
No, no, God says we shouldn't.
00:16:06.36\00:16:07.70
"Oh, God doesn't
want you to be like God.
00:16:07.73\00:16:10.53
That's why He
doesn't want you to take it
00:16:10.57\00:16:12.03
because you'll
certainly be like God."
00:16:12.07\00:16:14.30
You know, just as the
clouds have come over our heads,
00:16:14.34\00:16:16.74
it was a dark
moment on planet earth.
00:16:16.77\00:16:18.91
So the devil in
the form of a serpent
00:16:22.94\00:16:24.55
looks at her and says,
00:16:24.58\00:16:26.28
"Go ahead, try this fruit."
00:16:26.31\00:16:27.88
She said, "No, no, no, "
00:16:27.92\00:16:29.25
she said "God
says we shouldn't."
00:16:29.28\00:16:30.62
"Oh, it'll make you like God.
00:16:30.65\00:16:32.55
It'll make you like God
and that He doesn't want that.
00:16:32.59\00:16:35.49
Go ahead, try it."
00:16:35.52\00:16:36.96
And she finally,
00:16:36.99\00:16:38.33
you know this is the
way sin is by the way.
00:16:38.36\00:16:40.30
You look at it long
enough, behold it long enough,
00:16:40.33\00:16:43.57
you will desire it.
00:16:43.60\00:16:45.50
She took of that
fruit. She tasted it.
00:16:45.53\00:16:47.14
She felt so
exhilarated, so excited.
00:16:47.17\00:16:49.10
Well, this is wonderful.
00:16:49.14\00:16:50.47
She felt like she was
ascending to another plane
00:16:50.51\00:16:53.14
just exactly as the devil said.
00:16:53.17\00:16:56.48
She gathered up the
fruit, she ran to her husband.
00:16:56.51\00:16:59.45
Her husband knew
immediately what she'd done.
00:16:59.48\00:17:04.65
But he decided
that he loved the woman
00:17:04.69\00:17:06.79
more than he loved God.
00:17:06.82\00:17:08.76
He partook of the fruit
00:17:08.79\00:17:10.13
because he wanted to
suffer the same fate.
00:17:10.16\00:17:11.49
He just knew he
could not be separated
00:17:11.53\00:17:14.00
from the one he loved.
00:17:14.03\00:17:16.73
And immediately Jesus
came looking for them,
00:17:16.77\00:17:18.77
the Jesus, the pearl,
00:17:18.80\00:17:20.44
the Bible says called
Him the pearl of great price.
00:17:20.47\00:17:22.77
Jesus came looking for them,
00:17:22.80\00:17:24.41
"Adam, Eve, where are you?"
00:17:24.44\00:17:25.77
Now He knew where they were,
but He wanted them to respond.
00:17:25.81\00:17:29.84
They hid themselves,
00:17:29.88\00:17:31.21
just think they hid themselves
00:17:31.25\00:17:32.58
from the one that created them,
00:17:32.61\00:17:33.95
the one who walked with them
00:17:33.98\00:17:35.32
in the cool of the afternoons
in this beautiful garden.
00:17:35.35\00:17:39.32
And they finally came out.
"Adam, what have you done?"
00:17:39.35\00:17:42.76
"It was the woman You made, God.
00:17:42.79\00:17:44.79
She's the one who did all this."
00:17:44.83\00:17:47.03
"Eve, what have you done?"
00:17:47.06\00:17:48.40
"It was the serpent You
made, God, it's all Your fault."
00:17:48.43\00:17:52.00
See, that's the
way it is with sin.
00:17:52.03\00:17:53.90
We create the situation
where it's all God's fault.
00:17:53.94\00:17:56.87
The devil's done a very good job
00:17:56.91\00:17:58.24
here on planet earth.
00:17:58.27\00:18:00.34
But soon Jesus
tells him the whole story.
00:18:00.38\00:18:03.14
And He says, "One day
in the history of man,
00:18:03.18\00:18:05.61
I will come and die for you.
00:18:05.65\00:18:07.55
Because you no longer
00:18:07.58\00:18:09.32
have the power to
overcome this evil,
00:18:09.35\00:18:11.92
you no longer have the
power to overcome the sin."
00:18:11.95\00:18:15.09
So just as that beautiful
pearl that created here,
00:18:15.12\00:18:18.83
in this ugly shell as you were,
came down here to planet earth,
00:18:18.86\00:18:23.73
this sin filled earth
00:18:23.77\00:18:25.30
after thousands of years of sin.
00:18:25.33\00:18:28.04
Born in a humble,
stable, born to humble parents.
00:18:28.07\00:18:31.74
He didn't come as a king.
00:18:31.77\00:18:33.11
He came as one extremely humble
00:18:33.14\00:18:35.38
as the human race
would later look upon Him
00:18:35.41\00:18:38.38
and call Him
00:18:38.41\00:18:39.75
the pearl of great price.
00:18:39.78\00:18:41.12
Jesus Christ
the one that walked.
00:18:41.15\00:18:43.08
We just can't
say enough about Him,
00:18:43.12\00:18:44.45
The Rose of Sharon, The
Bright and Morning Star.
00:18:44.49\00:18:46.69
I mean, everything you
can say about Jesus is true,
00:18:46.72\00:18:49.82
it's beautiful.
00:18:49.86\00:18:51.19
Because you see He
came to separate you
00:18:51.23\00:18:53.53
and separate me from sin.
00:18:53.56\00:18:56.30
He came to restore us.
00:18:56.33\00:18:57.67
Today, you're going to hear
00:18:57.70\00:18:59.03
some amazing
stories of restoration,
00:18:59.07\00:19:01.57
physical restoration.
00:19:01.60\00:19:02.94
That's what
Jesus also came to do
00:19:02.97\00:19:04.54
is restore us physically
00:19:04.57\00:19:05.91
because the devil
tries to tear us down.
00:19:05.94\00:19:08.34
Once the physical
restoration is complete,
00:19:08.38\00:19:10.68
He's ready to restore
us spiritually as well.
00:19:10.71\00:19:13.68
Stay tuned for
some amazing things
00:19:13.72\00:19:15.48
today that you're going to see.
00:19:15.52\00:19:16.85
Kazumi was about seven years old
00:19:29.33\00:19:31.70
when she experienced
ear infections in both ears.
00:19:31.73\00:19:35.37
Her mother took
her to the doctors,
00:19:35.40\00:19:37.51
but they couldn't seem
to clear up the infections.
00:19:37.54\00:19:40.81
A couple of years past
00:19:40.84\00:19:42.31
and she began to
lose some hearing.
00:19:42.34\00:19:44.71
Her family saved up
all the money they could
00:19:44.75\00:19:47.32
and took her to another
country looking for help.
00:19:47.35\00:19:50.92
But all of the
doctor's attempts failed.
00:19:50.95\00:19:53.96
Two more years passed
00:19:53.99\00:19:56.32
and Kazumi had lost
most of her hearing.
00:19:56.36\00:19:59.73
Her classmates tried to
compensate by talking louder
00:19:59.76\00:20:02.90
or standing in
front of her directly,
00:20:02.93\00:20:05.20
so she could read their lips.
00:20:05.23\00:20:07.17
Then at Canvasback
ENT Super Team arrived
00:20:07.20\00:20:10.51
and did surgery on both ears.
00:20:10.54\00:20:13.01
Kazumi's hearing was restored.
00:20:13.04\00:20:15.81
For almost four decades,
00:20:15.84\00:20:17.78
Canvasback has been
changing hearts and lives
00:20:17.81\00:20:21.08
one miracle at a time.
00:20:21.12\00:20:23.35
But your
financial help is needed
00:20:23.39\00:20:25.59
to keep this
important work going.
00:20:25.62\00:20:28.52

Canvasback Missions
00:20:38.87\00:20:40.40
has been helping people
reverse diabetes for years.
00:20:40.44\00:20:44.21
Yes, you heard
correctly, reverse diabetes.
00:20:44.24\00:20:48.24
In addition,
00:20:48.28\00:20:49.61
we are helping to reduce
the incident of heart disease.
00:20:49.64\00:20:52.65
At least 34 million
people in the US have diabetes.
00:20:52.68\00:20:56.79
Many have no idea they have
it until it's almost too late.
00:20:56.82\00:21:00.86
Many children have diabetes.
00:21:00.89\00:21:03.19
It's time to
stop it in its tracks.
00:21:03.22\00:21:05.69
What's the key?
00:21:05.73\00:21:07.06
Certain foods,
exercise and many other simple
00:21:07.10\00:21:10.53
yet critical items are combined
to produce amazing results.

It will be life changing.
00:21:32.62\00:21:33.96
I understand a huge
number of people here
00:21:50.04\00:21:52.87
are affected by
diabetes, 60-70%.
00:21:52.91\00:21:55.84
And it would be even better here
00:21:55.88\00:21:57.98
because we have
the raw materials,
00:21:58.01\00:22:00.82
it's just a matter
of how do you to get it.
00:22:00.85\00:22:04.12
The master plan
is really important.
00:22:04.15\00:22:06.02
Very little. Yeah, very little.
00:22:06.05\00:22:08.22
But here, it's just a
matter of getting into a habit
00:22:08.26\00:22:10.89
of changing the diet from beef,
pork, from using oil and stuff.
00:22:10.93\00:22:17.20
Okay.
00:22:17.23\00:22:18.57
Maybe we'll have
to work together.
00:22:18.60\00:22:19.93
Yeah.
00:22:19.97\00:22:21.30
I think we can do.
00:22:21.34\00:22:22.67
Maybe challenge on, take
on this kind of challenge.
00:22:22.70\00:22:24.94
Well, you're not satisfied.
00:22:24.97\00:22:28.64
Now, we'll get over.
00:22:28.68\00:22:30.55
Thank you so much.
We appreciate your time.
00:22:30.58\00:22:32.75
Today is a great day.
00:22:32.78\00:22:34.12
We need to have
another patient here?
00:22:34.15\00:22:35.48
2:30.
00:22:35.52\00:22:36.85
Oh, praise God.
00:22:36.89\00:22:38.32
And his left eye
improved from 20/80,
00:22:38.35\00:22:41.46
it's 20/40 in another 18 months.
00:22:41.49\00:22:43.99
Oh, I'm so happy.
00:22:44.03\00:22:46.06
That is great.
00:22:46.09\00:22:47.43
I'm glad that you
postpone your trip
00:22:47.46\00:22:49.63
and that we
could take care of you.
00:22:49.66\00:22:52.03
Yeah, I forgot how
it feels to see clearly.
00:22:52.07\00:22:57.64
Wow, that's great.
00:22:57.67\00:22:59.54
So I'm going to ask,
00:22:59.57\00:23:01.44
are you happy that
Canvasback is here?
00:23:01.48\00:23:03.98
Certainly.
00:23:04.01\00:23:05.35
Oh, great. Good.
00:23:08.58\00:23:10.15
So now where
did, where does he go?
00:23:10.19\00:23:12.42
He's going to doctor
either Dr. Van Brocklin
00:23:12.45\00:23:14.69
or one of the
ODs to take a look.
00:23:14.72\00:23:16.39
Okay.
00:23:16.42\00:23:17.76
Yeah, 20-25, a
little correction.
00:23:17.79\00:23:19.49
Oh, wow. With you?
00:23:19.53\00:23:21.03
You're great with me.
00:23:21.06\00:23:22.40
Thank you so much.
00:23:22.43\00:23:23.77
Yeah, have a fun day.
00:23:23.80\00:23:26.33
I'm really happy for
you. I love the smile.
00:23:26.37\00:23:29.17
And I just see,
00:23:29.20\00:23:30.54
it was an honor to be
able to take care of you.
00:23:30.57\00:23:34.91
Thank you so
much. Thank you, folks.
00:23:34.94\00:23:37.31
In Missouri I checked,
they told me I have cataract.
00:23:40.55\00:23:44.19
It took a while, same thing.
00:23:44.22\00:23:47.66
I was in Washington.
00:23:47.69\00:23:49.56
I couldn't do it.
00:23:49.59\00:23:51.13
My God who says I will.
00:23:51.16\00:23:53.50
She would have
helped me take me to the...
00:23:53.53\00:23:56.00
You couldn't spruce.
00:23:56.03\00:23:57.37
Here's the best part.
00:23:57.40\00:23:58.73
She was going to go
to Washington in Olympia
00:23:58.77\00:24:01.70
to our clinic in Olympia
00:24:01.74\00:24:04.01
and she ended up
getting the same surgery
00:24:04.04\00:24:05.91
she would have had
had she stayed in Olympia.
00:24:05.94\00:24:09.21
So what are the odds of
being across the country?
00:24:09.24\00:24:11.88
So your surgeon had to chase you
00:24:11.91\00:24:13.31
across the world to
give you the same cure?
00:24:13.35\00:24:14.95
He followed you.
00:24:14.98\00:24:16.32
He followed me.
00:24:16.35\00:24:17.69
Well, God must want you
to have this surgery going.
00:24:17.72\00:24:21.49
I'm going to clean that purple
takes off on her forehead.
00:24:24.69\00:24:27.60
Okay.
00:24:27.63\00:24:29.56
For our viewers,
00:24:29.60\00:24:30.93
they actually
because that's the eye
00:24:30.97\00:24:32.30
that had the surgery.
00:24:32.33\00:24:33.67
Yes, it's like
any other body part,
00:24:33.70\00:24:35.04
you going to have knee surgery
00:24:35.07\00:24:36.50
and they're going to mark
00:24:36.54\00:24:37.87
which leg it is
that's getting on surgery
00:24:37.91\00:24:39.84
and which arm to do that
00:24:39.87\00:24:41.64
just not because
of confidence issues
00:24:41.68\00:24:44.71
but just reassurance
00:24:44.75\00:24:46.48
'cause there's lot
of people that go back.
00:24:46.51\00:24:49.92
Most clinics do about 40
00:24:49.95\00:24:51.75
as well if they're busy
like they do 40 surgeries,
00:24:51.79\00:24:54.82
40 to 45 each day so.
00:24:54.86\00:24:58.46
Count fingers.
00:24:58.49\00:25:00.36
Okay.
00:25:00.40\00:25:02.83
And it was a
significant cataract,
00:25:02.86\00:25:05.13
where you couldn't
see the back in the eye.
00:25:05.17\00:25:06.57
So those are always,
00:25:06.60\00:25:08.00
we don't know
back there until we do.
00:25:08.04\00:25:09.97
How are you?
00:25:10.01\00:25:11.34
Come in, come and sit down.
00:25:11.37\00:25:12.71
We see a smiling face.
00:25:12.74\00:25:14.14
Were you comfortable last night?
00:25:14.18\00:25:16.54
Yes.
00:25:16.58\00:25:17.91
Good.
00:25:17.95\00:25:19.71
Good. Good. Are you excited?
00:25:19.75\00:25:22.05
Let's get that tape off.
00:25:22.08\00:25:23.42
They tell me that you
could only count some fingers
00:25:23.45\00:25:25.72
as all you could see.
00:25:25.75\00:25:28.26
You're doing good though.
00:25:28.29\00:25:29.62
Yeah.
00:25:29.66\00:25:30.99
All right.
00:25:31.03\00:25:32.46
We're anxious to see
00:25:32.49\00:25:33.83
if we can see anything
more than fingers today.
00:25:33.86\00:25:35.46
I know. You are too, right?
00:25:35.50\00:25:37.17
Are you excited?
00:25:37.20\00:25:39.10
I'm excited for you.
00:25:39.13\00:25:40.50
So let's get this tape off.
00:25:40.54\00:25:42.10
Sorry, I'm going to try
00:25:45.21\00:25:46.54
not to take your
eyebrows with it.
00:25:46.57\00:25:49.01
They don't tell you about
the free eyebrow wax we offer.
00:25:49.04\00:25:53.55
Free eyebrow offer?
00:25:53.58\00:25:56.48
I'm sorry.
00:25:56.52\00:25:57.85
Good.
00:25:57.89\00:25:59.75
In the States,
00:25:59.79\00:26:01.12
they charge a lot to
pluck those eyebrows.
00:26:01.16\00:26:02.49
They do.
00:26:02.52\00:26:03.86
What do you think?
Can you see a little bit?
00:26:06.83\00:26:08.50
Yes.
00:26:08.53\00:26:09.86
Yeah, you're
probably going to be blurry.
00:26:09.90\00:26:11.83
Yeah.
00:26:11.87\00:26:13.30
Before you know,
if I cover this one,
00:26:13.34\00:26:16.17
I couldn't see anything.
00:26:16.20\00:26:17.64
Can you see me here?
00:26:17.67\00:26:19.01
Yes.
00:26:19.04\00:26:20.38
I'm a handsome guy, right?
00:26:20.41\00:26:23.14
A cowboy.
00:26:23.18\00:26:24.51
A cowboy? She
can see. She can see.
00:26:24.55\00:26:28.12
Look up for me.
00:26:28.15\00:26:29.48
I'm going to try to just
get a little bit of that debris
00:26:29.52\00:26:31.92
that's in there.
00:26:31.95\00:26:35.26
Okay.
00:26:35.29\00:26:36.62
I hope you enjoyed
watching the patients
00:26:36.66\00:26:39.53
having their bandages
removed after surgery.
00:26:39.56\00:26:42.56
I never get tired of
watching the process.
00:26:42.60\00:26:45.87
They look at the
chart and begin reading
00:26:45.90\00:26:48.90
line after line when
just the previous day,
00:26:48.94\00:26:52.87
many couldn't even see a
hand wave in front of them.
00:26:52.91\00:26:56.51
Even though surgeries can
cost $7000-$12,000 per patient,
00:26:56.54\00:27:02.72
Canvasback services are free.
00:27:02.75\00:27:05.45
Yes, free.
00:27:05.49\00:27:07.79
These dear people make
about $30-$50 per month.
00:27:07.82\00:27:13.36
Without our medical Super Teams,
00:27:13.40\00:27:15.56
they would have no hope
of recovering their sight.
00:27:15.60\00:27:19.03
You can bring hope
to these dear people
00:27:19.07\00:27:21.97
like partnering with us.
