This is the island
I told you about, Jim,
00:00:01.36\00:00:02.70
that I really have a vision.
00:00:02.73\00:00:04.07
If we're going to
take the next step
00:00:04.10\00:00:06.07
for a wellness program,
00:00:06.10\00:00:08.00
Kusaie is the island.
00:00:08.04\00:00:09.37
It's the island to do it all.
00:00:09.40\00:00:10.74
Because it has a
good infrastructure
00:00:10.77\00:00:12.37
with the churches.
00:00:12.41\00:00:13.74
I want to see
more checks spent...
00:00:36.16\00:00:40.97
In Kusaie. In Kusaie.
00:00:41.00\00:00:42.77
That's right. That's right.
00:00:42.80\00:00:45.37
My other colleague
is leaving today...
00:00:45.41\00:00:48.48
Oh, doctor leaves here. Okay.
00:00:48.51\00:00:50.48
So we're leaving today,
and I'll be back on Sunday.
00:00:50.51\00:00:55.08
Okay. Okay.
00:00:55.12\00:00:56.79
Today, we will have our...
00:00:56.82\00:00:59.42
My purpose of being here
00:00:59.45\00:01:00.79
invited by FAB at
the national and state
00:01:00.82\00:01:03.66
to see the final
work of the nations,
00:01:03.69\00:01:08.36
everything regarding the IHR,
00:01:08.40\00:01:11.33
International Health Regulation,
00:01:11.37\00:01:14.27
whether we are in possession
00:01:14.30\00:01:17.54
or we work for the...
00:01:17.57\00:01:22.41
Right, right, right.
00:01:22.44\00:01:23.81
Right.
00:01:23.85\00:01:25.18
Well...
00:01:25.21\00:01:26.55
You know, so we have
to come up with a plan
00:01:26.58\00:01:28.55
in order to
prepare for the crisis.
00:01:28.58\00:01:31.09
So right now we
are in dead stage.
00:01:31.12\00:01:34.66
So by invitation,
I'm here and, you know,
00:01:34.69\00:01:37.06
coincidently I met a
lot of people till now.
00:01:37.09\00:01:40.60
I just want you guys come back.
00:01:40.63\00:01:43.80
We would like to come back,
00:01:43.83\00:01:45.23
Canvasback would like to come
00:01:45.27\00:01:46.60
and be part of
your health program.
00:01:46.63\00:01:49.24
May I ask you a question?
00:01:49.27\00:01:50.61
You said prepare for the crisis?
00:01:50.64\00:01:52.57
What crisis if I may ask?
00:01:52.61\00:01:54.28
Health issues.
00:01:54.31\00:01:55.71
Health issue is a
big crisis because...
00:01:55.74\00:01:57.51
Zika, Measles,
00:01:57.55\00:01:59.75
all those things,
naturally, you know...
00:01:59.78\00:02:04.35
You're the medical expert.
00:02:04.39\00:02:07.86
Medical, emergency, or crisis,
00:02:07.89\00:02:12.29
are we prepared for it?
00:02:12.33\00:02:13.66
Right.
00:02:13.70\00:02:15.03
So it's
anything life-threatening
00:02:15.06\00:02:17.27
just, you know...
00:02:17.30\00:02:18.63
And Kusaie is so
isolated even more so.
00:02:18.67\00:02:21.27
Only two planes.
00:02:21.30\00:02:22.64
Well, do you realize that
we are separated by water,
00:02:22.67\00:02:26.57
not like US continent.
00:02:26.61\00:02:28.94
And, you know, going
to remote it's an issue.
00:02:28.98\00:02:30.78
Right.
00:02:30.81\00:02:32.15
Our question is how
would you get to the,
00:02:32.18\00:02:34.38
you know...
00:02:34.42\00:02:36.15
If Canvasback
come to the Kusaie,
00:02:36.18\00:02:39.65
it is not like Pohnpei.
00:02:39.69\00:02:41.82
Pohnpei or even...
00:02:41.86\00:02:43.19
Yeah.
00:02:43.22\00:02:45.76
Remote.
00:02:45.79\00:02:47.13
They have two
planes a week, right?
00:02:47.16\00:02:49.96
Just one. Just one plane!
00:02:50.00\00:02:51.77
One to Kusaie, United
Air, not compared to Pohnpei.
00:02:51.80\00:02:55.80
Pohnpei has...
00:02:55.84\00:02:59.07
But how many
times this united stop?
00:02:59.11\00:03:02.28
Twice a week. Twice a week.
00:03:02.31\00:03:04.21
Tuesday and Friday.
00:03:04.25\00:03:06.38
Now there is a
pilot projects under
00:03:06.41\00:03:10.29
but that will not be continue.
00:03:10.32\00:03:12.19
I certainly...
00:03:12.22\00:03:15.02
If our donors
helped Canvasback enough
00:03:15.06\00:03:17.33
because financially,
we can't do anything
00:03:17.36\00:03:19.39
without our donors.
00:03:19.43\00:03:20.76
How could we help
you, if we had the funding?
00:03:20.80\00:03:23.13
Find more donors to sponsor.
00:03:23.16\00:03:26.63
If we found them,
how could we help you?
00:03:26.67\00:03:28.77
What are the needs in Kusaie?
00:03:28.80\00:03:32.57
I mean, it's a lot. It's a lot.
00:03:32.61\00:03:34.74
And I cannot
speak for the director.
00:03:34.78\00:03:37.68
But, you know, like I said,
when I met with your regiment,
00:03:37.71\00:03:41.82
my director, he
should have better plans
00:03:41.85\00:03:44.42
or policies and ideas.
00:03:44.45\00:03:45.92
But when it comes to...
00:03:45.95\00:03:50.66
How can we...
00:03:50.69\00:03:52.49
Lack of interest.
00:03:52.53\00:03:54.13
You know, from...
Lack of our personal.
00:03:54.16\00:03:56.77
There's one thing
I know about Kusaie
00:03:56.80\00:03:59.60
when you look
at the four states,
00:03:59.63\00:04:02.10
Kusaie is the smallest state,
00:04:02.14\00:04:04.24
it has the least
amount of population.
00:04:04.27\00:04:05.97
So it gets... Six thousand.
00:04:06.01\00:04:07.51
It gets the
smallest piece of the pie
00:04:07.54\00:04:10.58
when they split up the money.
00:04:10.61\00:04:12.08
And so they are in
need of specialists.
00:04:12.11\00:04:14.12
They don't...
00:04:14.15\00:04:15.48
It's a stepchild. Yeah.
00:04:15.52\00:04:17.02
They are in need of specialists.
00:04:17.05\00:04:20.56
And one of the most
beautiful things about Kusaie
00:04:20.59\00:04:24.19
it's one island,
00:04:24.23\00:04:25.73
the church is very strong
00:04:25.76\00:04:29.30
and that leadership can help
in promoting good healthcare.
00:04:29.33\00:04:36.10
We do a lot of social functions
00:04:36.14\00:04:39.34
and church contribute
00:04:39.37\00:04:43.04
to a lot of things.
00:04:43.08\00:04:44.81
Health? Yes.
00:04:44.85\00:04:46.82
That is enough...
00:04:46.85\00:04:48.38
But, you know,
00:04:48.42\00:04:50.19
culturally we have to discipline
00:04:50.22\00:04:52.69
our eating habit that
maybe that's already...
00:04:52.72\00:04:57.33
This is the island
I told you about, Jim,
00:04:57.36\00:04:59.09
that I really have a vision.
00:04:59.13\00:05:00.50
If we're going to
take the next step
00:05:00.53\00:05:02.66
for a wellness
program, Kusaie is the island.
00:05:02.70\00:05:05.23
It's the island do it all.
00:05:05.27\00:05:06.60
Because
00:05:06.63\00:05:07.97
it has a good infrastructure
with the churches.
00:05:08.00\00:05:09.34
We work committee workshops,
00:05:09.37\00:05:14.38
tall, short, concise,
00:05:14.41\00:05:17.05
direct to the
point, listen to the...
00:05:17.08\00:05:21.98
Listen to the doctor.
00:05:22.02\00:05:24.75
Why do we actually
need to have meals,
00:05:24.79\00:05:30.09
breakfast, lunch, dinner?
00:05:30.13\00:05:32.39
Those kind of
things can Canvasback,
00:05:32.43\00:05:35.46
look into the
state, educational side.
00:05:35.50\00:05:38.10
Yeah, yeah. Okay.
00:05:38.13\00:05:39.47
That we can actually hear it
from the professional people,
00:05:39.50\00:05:43.10
maybe include how to minimize
00:05:43.14\00:05:49.44
diabetes issue and...
00:05:49.48\00:05:53.15
Do you really believe
00:05:53.18\00:05:55.05
that eating contribute impact
00:05:55.08\00:05:58.15
to increase number of
diabetics in the nation?
00:05:58.19\00:06:03.32
And there is no
cure for diabetes.
00:06:03.36\00:06:07.66
No, I think that...
00:06:07.70\00:06:09.03
I think Kusaie
could be a model...
00:06:09.06\00:06:11.73
Kusaie could be a model.
00:06:11.77\00:06:13.10
Increase number of
sponsors to fund your program,
00:06:13.13\00:06:16.54
then you can
actually, you know...
00:06:16.57\00:06:19.37
Jim and Jacque
00:06:19.41\00:06:20.74
have just been
talking about this
00:06:20.78\00:06:22.11
of how to expand
and where to expand.
00:06:22.14\00:06:23.85
That's right.
00:06:23.88\00:06:25.21
And we just sent out a letter
00:06:25.25\00:06:26.85
that's actually
coming out shortly
00:06:26.88\00:06:28.55
asking folks to
participate with us
00:06:28.58\00:06:30.25
to expand wellness centers.
00:06:30.29\00:06:31.89
Fine. Fine. Good
supporter for you guys.
00:06:31.92\00:06:34.12
And, you know,
email doctor, tell them...
00:06:34.16\00:06:37.26
Okay.
00:06:37.29\00:06:38.63
And make her we'll
work with the community,
00:06:38.66\00:06:40.56
support such, you know, teams.
00:06:40.60\00:06:44.17
Really, I'm very small.
00:06:44.20\00:06:47.04
But I like to be
effective in my work.
00:06:47.07\00:06:50.07
As a leader in the
field of health in Micronesia,
00:06:50.11\00:06:53.44
Canvasback Missions
has been helping people
00:06:53.48\00:06:56.18
reverse diabetes for years.
00:06:56.21\00:06:58.91
Yes, you heard correctly.
00:06:58.95\00:07:01.15
Reverse diabetes.
00:07:01.18\00:07:03.05
In addition, we
are helping to reduce
00:07:03.08\00:07:05.02
the incident of heart disease.
00:07:05.05\00:07:07.32
At least 34 million
people in the US have diabetes.
00:07:07.36\00:07:11.49
Many have no idea they have
it until it's almost too late.
00:07:11.53\00:07:15.50
Many children have diabetes.
00:07:15.53\00:07:17.83
It's time to stop
it and its tracks.
00:07:17.87\00:07:20.37
What's the key?
00:07:20.40\00:07:21.74
Certain foods, exercise,
00:07:21.77\00:07:23.67
and many other
simple yet critical items
00:07:23.71\00:07:26.37
are combined to
produce amazing results.

It will be life-changing.
00:07:47.46\00:07:48.80
You know, while
could it be more beautiful
00:07:56.17\00:07:59.54
to just kick back in
a hammock on an island.
00:07:59.57\00:08:02.84
You think the
doctors at Canvasback
00:08:02.88\00:08:05.08
maybe that's all they do.
00:08:05.11\00:08:06.45
They come to an island to relax
00:08:06.48\00:08:07.92
and just kick
back and do nothing.
00:08:07.95\00:08:09.48
But let me tell you,
00:08:09.52\00:08:11.02
that is absolutely not the case,
00:08:11.05\00:08:13.05
as you're going
to see in a moment.
00:08:13.09\00:08:14.56
Label that you
had me to print today.
00:08:18.36\00:08:20.43
Where was it
supposed to be on the board?
00:08:20.46\00:08:21.86
Right here.
00:08:21.90\00:08:23.26
That's it. Okay.
00:08:23.30\00:08:24.63
I just noticed that...
00:08:24.67\00:08:26.07
That he's having surgery.
00:08:26.10\00:08:27.60
Well, he's up there for...
00:08:27.64\00:08:30.91
Now, take that off.
00:08:30.94\00:08:32.27
Yeah, that's what I thought.
00:08:32.31\00:08:33.64
Yeah, that's the
one I was looking for.
00:08:33.68\00:08:35.01
I just... I put it up.
00:08:35.04\00:08:36.38
And I just separate it...
00:08:36.41\00:08:39.55
Okay. Yeah.
00:08:39.58\00:08:41.22
So this is our
OR schedule board.
00:08:41.25\00:08:44.29
And it represents actually
only four days of clinic
00:08:44.32\00:08:47.39
that we had.
00:08:47.42\00:08:49.99
We conduct clinic on Monday,
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.
00:08:50.03\00:08:52.53
So this represents about,
00:08:52.56\00:08:56.90
I would say about 80 surgeries
00:08:56.93\00:08:59.43
that have been
completed or will be completed
00:08:59.47\00:09:03.44
by the time the trip is over.
00:09:03.47\00:09:04.94
And we still have today,
Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday
00:09:04.97\00:09:09.68
to do screenings for patients.
00:09:09.71\00:09:12.65
So we may probably
fill up the rest of this.
00:09:12.68\00:09:15.58
Typically,
Jackie, how many surgeries
00:09:15.62\00:09:18.05
would you do on a trip?
00:09:18.09\00:09:19.42
Typically, we would
do about 200 surgeries.
00:09:19.45\00:09:22.12
So this represents
about half of that.
00:09:22.16\00:09:25.59
And you also get cut a day short
00:09:25.63\00:09:27.26
because your plane had to...
00:09:27.30\00:09:28.63
Oh, yeah!
00:09:28.66\00:09:30.10
We were halfway to Majuro
00:09:30.13\00:09:32.63
and we had to turn
around and go back to Honolulu
00:09:32.67\00:09:35.90
because the patient
got ill on the plane
00:09:35.94\00:09:38.67
and our Canvasback doctors
00:09:38.71\00:09:40.04
actually helped
that patient out.
00:09:40.08\00:09:42.98
So, yeah, we lost a day.
00:09:43.01\00:09:44.95
But what the team did,
00:09:44.98\00:09:47.45
we were supposed to have
a day off when we got here.
00:09:47.48\00:09:50.09
But instead we got
here on Sunday we ate
00:09:50.12\00:09:52.75
and came in work
till about 9 o'clock
00:09:52.79\00:09:54.46
unpacking everything so
we could start up on Monday.
00:09:54.49\00:09:57.43
And then you got 200 surgeries
00:09:57.46\00:09:59.06
but that you see
in a lot more patients
00:09:59.09\00:10:00.90
than that then too, to
get that 200 surgeries?
00:10:00.93\00:10:02.26
Yeah, Shery, how many
patients have we seen?
00:10:02.30\00:10:05.20
We don't have 200
surgeries, we've seen...
00:10:05.23\00:10:08.27
Normally though. Yeah.
00:10:08.30\00:10:09.64
Oh.
00:10:09.67\00:10:11.01
Oh yeah, we will have
by the end of the day.
00:10:11.04\00:10:12.37
Yeah.
00:10:12.41\00:10:13.74
So far we've seen as
of 5 o'clock last night,
00:10:13.78\00:10:17.21
we had seen 124 patients,
we've done 32 surgeries,
00:10:17.25\00:10:23.39
and including those 32,
we scheduled 77 surgeries.
00:10:23.42\00:10:28.06
Okay.
00:10:28.09\00:10:29.42
And some of those people,
you end up doing one eye,
00:10:29.46\00:10:32.63
and then they come
back and you do another eye.
00:10:32.66\00:10:34.70
That's right.
00:10:34.73\00:10:36.06
And now that you've got
a retinal specialist on,
00:10:36.10\00:10:38.27
all of a sudden,
you've done retinal surgery,
00:10:38.30\00:10:40.17
that's maybe never happened
in the whole Marshall Island.
00:10:40.20\00:10:41.97
Oh, not happened
all through Micronesia.
00:10:42.00\00:10:45.37
There's only one
retractor in all of Micronesia
00:10:45.41\00:10:48.68
that belongs to Canvasback,
00:10:48.71\00:10:50.25
and we brought that,
and a retinal specialist.
00:10:50.28\00:10:52.78
And this is his position
is so needed in the islands.
00:10:52.81\00:10:56.42
And, yeah.
00:10:56.45\00:11:00.29
His position is
really needed in the islands
00:11:00.32\00:11:02.56
because no one is here
00:11:02.59\00:11:06.73
to treat these
retinal patients at all.
00:11:06.76\00:11:10.13
And I had Dr. Rick
walk me through yesterday.
00:11:10.17\00:11:12.50
And he took me
back into the back
00:11:12.53\00:11:14.27
where all the
shipping containers are
00:11:14.30\00:11:16.60
and then he took me to
where all the doctors' wheel
00:11:16.64\00:11:18.57
and all the extra luggage
that they bring on board.
00:11:18.61\00:11:21.54
But you take months
00:11:21.58\00:11:23.68
ahead of schedule
planning all that.
00:11:23.71\00:11:25.05
Can you walk me
00:11:25.08\00:11:26.41
through this whole process of...
00:11:26.45\00:11:27.78
It takes about a year
00:11:27.82\00:11:29.15
to really pull
together a great team.
00:11:29.18\00:11:31.85
Because we have to
recruit the team members,
00:11:31.89\00:11:34.09
then we have to
solicit the donations,
00:11:34.12\00:11:36.02
we have to schedule
the surgery, a whole thing.
00:11:36.06\00:11:38.56
So it's about a year.
00:11:38.59\00:11:40.50
And then we have to
get all the supplies in
00:11:40.53\00:11:43.10
and for ophthalmology,
00:11:43.13\00:11:45.17
it was about
eight crates, I think.
00:11:45.20\00:11:48.74
It was eight crates.
00:11:48.77\00:11:50.51
That includes the equipment...
00:11:50.54\00:11:51.91
Now, sorry, if I
can interrupt you
00:11:51.94\00:11:53.27
just for a second.
00:11:53.31\00:11:54.64
So Canvasback has a
warehouse in Benicia.
00:11:54.68\00:11:56.95
That's right.
00:11:56.98\00:11:58.31
Where you begin
staging all of that.
00:11:58.35\00:11:59.71
That's right. That's right.
00:11:59.75\00:12:01.08
It gets broiled
00:12:01.12\00:12:02.45
because we have a
lot of stuff come in,
00:12:02.48\00:12:04.25
not only is it the equipment
00:12:04.29\00:12:07.72
that we know we're going to need
00:12:07.76\00:12:09.09
for the teams and the supplies.
00:12:09.12\00:12:11.13
But, you know,
we're in constant contact
00:12:11.16\00:12:12.99
with the local doctor here.
00:12:13.03\00:12:15.20
We say, "Well, what do you need?
00:12:15.23\00:12:17.00
Is there
equipment that's broken?
00:12:17.03\00:12:18.73
Is there
something that we can help?"
00:12:18.77\00:12:20.40
And indeed, the team
brought in an A-scan, B-scan,
00:12:20.44\00:12:24.64
we brought in various items.
00:12:24.67\00:12:27.21
Backup, A-scan, B-scan.
00:12:27.24\00:12:29.44
It's for testing of
the health of the eye,
00:12:29.48\00:12:33.85
so we brought in a
machine to donate to him.
00:12:33.88\00:12:37.19
We knew that he needed
tables that move up and down
00:12:37.22\00:12:40.32
and makes it
easier for the doctor.
00:12:40.36\00:12:42.29
We were able to
don't get that donated.
00:12:42.32\00:12:45.09
I noticed, the surgery
tables are all massage tables.
00:12:45.13\00:12:48.46
That's right.
00:12:48.50\00:12:50.20
Okay.
00:12:50.23\00:12:51.57
We sent in the massage tables
00:12:51.60\00:12:52.93
because that's easier to
position our presentation.
00:12:52.97\00:12:56.07
And we'll leave
that for Dr. Gal.
00:12:56.10\00:12:57.74
Okay.
00:12:57.77\00:12:59.11
So not only do
you bring in a team,
00:12:59.14\00:13:01.61
but you leave a lot
of additional equipment
00:13:01.64\00:13:03.24
that hospitals never have.
00:13:03.28\00:13:04.61
Right. And supplies.
00:13:04.65\00:13:06.28
The word to all of our teams
00:13:06.31\00:13:08.68
are you must bring
in every single item
00:13:08.72\00:13:11.49
you need for in
mission and then extra
00:13:11.52\00:13:14.62
because we don't want to deplete
00:13:14.66\00:13:16.16
any of the
supplies that they have.
00:13:16.19\00:13:17.96
Okay.
00:13:17.99\00:13:19.33
One patient I was
talking to was telling me
00:13:19.36\00:13:21.33
that the average person here
maybe makes $30 to $50 a month.
00:13:21.36\00:13:25.63
Now you get a
specialist in here who is doing,
00:13:25.67\00:13:28.07
say retinal surgery.
00:13:28.10\00:13:29.80
In the United States,
00:13:29.84\00:13:31.17
you're probably
looking at $12,000 surgery
00:13:31.21\00:13:33.94
but because of
Canvasback and all you've done
00:13:33.98\00:13:36.31
Jack and the team, it's free.
00:13:36.34\00:13:38.65
That's right. That's right.
00:13:38.68\00:13:40.18
They would never
have gone off island
00:13:40.22\00:13:42.98
for that they couldn't
afford to be able to do that.
00:13:43.02\00:13:45.45
And you know
what's really special
00:13:45.49\00:13:46.92
is these people
who've come in here
00:13:46.96\00:13:48.72
who are blind, you know,
they have lost quality of life.
00:13:48.76\00:13:54.00
But so as their family members,
00:13:54.03\00:13:55.80
their family members
have had to feed them,
00:13:55.83\00:13:57.60
have had to lead them around,
00:13:57.63\00:13:58.97
have had to take care of them.
00:13:59.00\00:14:00.54
And we are able
to set them free to,
00:14:00.57\00:14:04.24
they're able to go back
to living a healthy life too.
00:14:04.27\00:14:09.04
Now before we...
00:14:09.08\00:14:10.41
So people don't just think,
00:14:10.45\00:14:11.78
I mean, we are here
at an eye clinic now,
00:14:11.81\00:14:13.95
but Canvasback
does so much more.
00:14:13.98\00:14:16.62
You've got how many other types
of specialties do you get into?
00:14:16.65\00:14:20.39
Well, we do orthopedic surgery,
00:14:20.42\00:14:22.92
we do ENT, gynecology, urology,
00:14:22.96\00:14:28.80
so many different kinds.
00:14:28.83\00:14:30.57
And same thing with a person
00:14:30.60\00:14:33.23
who's been in a
wheelchair for years
00:14:33.27\00:14:36.24
because they couldn't get around
00:14:36.27\00:14:37.61
they needed a new knee
or their hip was broken.
00:14:37.64\00:14:40.54
I've seen patients
who've waited two years
00:14:40.58\00:14:42.64
to have their knee repair.
00:14:42.68\00:14:44.01
Tell me one of
your favorite stories,
00:14:44.05\00:14:45.98
which just pops off
the top of your head.
00:14:46.01\00:14:47.35
I'm sure you've
got some of those.
00:14:47.38\00:14:48.72
Oh, I do have a favorite story.
00:14:48.75\00:14:50.49
I have a favorite
story of a blind man
00:14:50.52\00:14:52.55
who is blind in both eyes
and he came to the clinic.
00:14:52.59\00:14:55.96
And we were excited.
00:14:55.99\00:14:58.73
We did one eye.
00:14:58.76\00:15:01.00
And the next day when he
came and we took off his patch,
00:15:01.03\00:15:03.80
we expected him to go,
00:15:03.83\00:15:05.17
"Praise the
Lord, I can see again"
00:15:05.20\00:15:07.10
He did nothing.
00:15:07.14\00:15:08.47
That was really
depressing for us, you know.
00:15:08.50\00:15:10.17
But we thought, well,
00:15:10.21\00:15:11.54
he's been blind
for this many years,
00:15:11.57\00:15:14.44
maybe, you know,
something has gone wrong here.
00:15:14.48\00:15:17.15
So we decided to
do his second eye.
00:15:17.18\00:15:20.28
Did the second eye,
00:15:20.32\00:15:21.85
and the next day he
came back still no response
00:15:21.88\00:15:24.79
when we took the patch off.
00:15:24.82\00:15:26.72
Really broke our hearts,
00:15:26.76\00:15:28.32
but we put him
out in the hallway.
00:15:28.36\00:15:30.76
And he was
sitting in the hallway.
00:15:30.79\00:15:32.63
And pretty soon a very
pretty Marshallese nurse
00:15:32.66\00:15:35.46
walked by.
00:15:35.50\00:15:36.83
And his head popped up.
00:15:36.87\00:15:40.24
And he patted her on
the back and he went,
00:15:40.27\00:15:42.77
"Where have you been?"
00:15:42.80\00:15:47.31
That broke up the whole staff.
00:15:47.34\00:15:48.68
It did. It did.
00:15:48.71\00:15:50.05
And from that day on
while we had clinics, he came,
00:15:50.08\00:15:53.48
and he sat there and he would...
00:15:53.52\00:15:55.38
People would walk by,
go, "Where have you been?
00:15:55.42\00:15:57.29
I haven't seen you for years.
00:15:57.32\00:15:59.25
How's it going?"
00:15:59.29\00:16:03.16
According to the
World Health Organization,
00:16:03.19\00:16:05.63
depression is a leading
cause of worldwide disability.
00:16:05.66\00:16:09.56
That happens to a lot of people.
00:16:09.60\00:16:11.80
Are you depressed?
00:16:11.83\00:16:13.20
Have you become
discouraged lately?
00:16:13.23\00:16:15.37
The list is endless of things
00:16:15.40\00:16:16.74
that can trigger discouragement,
00:16:16.77\00:16:18.34
despair, or even depression.
00:16:18.37\00:16:20.71
If you or someone
you know is experiencing
00:16:20.74\00:16:22.64
one or more of
these difficulties,
00:16:22.68\00:16:24.78
we have a great
little booklet for you.

It's written by author
00:16:26.92\00:16:28.25
and
international speaker Jim Ayer.

As Jesus traveled,
00:16:59.78\00:17:01.12
He always was
looking for friendships
00:17:01.15\00:17:03.65
and relationships.
00:17:03.69\00:17:05.55
That was key.
00:17:05.59\00:17:06.92
He wanted people to know Him,
00:17:06.96\00:17:08.82
and He wanted to
get to know people
00:17:08.86\00:17:10.93
and have that friendship
and that relationship.
00:17:10.96\00:17:13.76
Matter of fact, in
Matthew 7, Matthew 7,
00:17:13.80\00:17:16.73
He's looking through the books,
00:17:16.77\00:17:18.10
the judgment books,
00:17:18.13\00:17:19.47
the church members
come up to Him and say,
00:17:19.50\00:17:21.24
"Lord, we have a
right to be in the kingdom.
00:17:21.27\00:17:23.17
We've cast out
demons, we've healed the sick.
00:17:23.20\00:17:25.04
We've done all
these wonderful things."
00:17:25.07\00:17:26.44
Jesus said, "Who are you?"
00:17:26.47\00:17:30.48
He looks through
the book, and said,
00:17:30.51\00:17:32.31
"I can't find your
name. I never knew you.
00:17:32.35\00:17:34.95
I never knew you."
00:17:34.98\00:17:36.32
That no is a very
personal friendship
00:17:36.35\00:17:38.49
and relationship.
00:17:38.52\00:17:40.59
While He was here on Earth,
00:17:40.62\00:17:42.52
thousands and
thousands of people
00:17:42.56\00:17:43.99
pressed in on Him.
00:17:44.03\00:17:45.36
They wanted something from Him.
00:17:45.39\00:17:47.16
They wanted a miracle.
They wanted a healing here.
00:17:47.20\00:17:49.13
They wanted something from Him.
00:17:49.16\00:17:51.23
But very few wanted a
real friendship with Him.
00:17:51.27\00:17:54.30
There was Martha and
Mary and Lazarus, however,
00:17:54.34\00:17:57.54
they wanted a friendship.
00:17:57.57\00:17:58.97
They invited
Jesus to their home.
00:17:59.01\00:18:01.08
They spent time with Him.
00:18:01.11\00:18:02.61
It was a place
that He could relax
00:18:02.64\00:18:04.48
and simply just
get rid of the cares
00:18:04.51\00:18:07.68
of the day.
00:18:07.72\00:18:09.68
He was traveling
with His disciples,
00:18:09.72\00:18:12.12
and Lazarus became very sick.
00:18:12.15\00:18:15.56
Mary sent a runner,
someone to find Jesus and say,
00:18:15.59\00:18:18.89
"The one you love is sick."
00:18:18.93\00:18:21.86
He got the message,
00:18:21.90\00:18:23.23
and the disciples thought
He would just immediately,
00:18:23.26\00:18:25.33
you know, kind of pull up camp
and head back but He didn't.
00:18:25.37\00:18:28.54
He lingered day after day.
00:18:28.57\00:18:30.87
And finally, He
said, "Okay, it's time."
00:18:30.91\00:18:34.81
Lazarus is sleeping now.
00:18:34.84\00:18:36.31
They thought, "Well,
if Lazarus is sleeping,
00:18:36.34\00:18:38.61
you know, the fever has passed,
00:18:38.65\00:18:39.98
he's feeling very good."
00:18:40.02\00:18:41.65
No, no.
00:18:41.68\00:18:43.08
Basically, what Jesus is
saying is Lazarus is dead.
00:18:43.12\00:18:45.82
You see, Jesus
equates sleep and death
00:18:45.85\00:18:48.86
as the same
00:18:48.89\00:18:50.23
because when we die,
we don't go to heaven,
00:18:50.26\00:18:51.59
we don't go anyplace.
00:18:51.63\00:18:52.96
We simply go to sleep and
wait for the resurrection.
00:18:52.99\00:18:57.07
Jesus finally got
very close to Mary's home.
00:18:57.10\00:19:01.87
And she was waiting.
00:19:01.90\00:19:03.54
She'd been waiting for days.
00:19:03.57\00:19:04.91
You see, four
days now had passed.
00:19:04.94\00:19:07.61
And there was Jesus.
00:19:07.64\00:19:09.84
"Lord, it's too
late. He's already died."
00:19:09.88\00:19:13.38
"Do you believe,
Mary? Do you believe?"
00:19:13.42\00:19:16.38
"Well, yes, Lord.
00:19:16.42\00:19:17.75
I believe that
there'll be a resurrection."
00:19:17.79\00:19:19.49
"Oh, do you believe, Mary?"
00:19:19.52\00:19:21.86
"Yes, Lord, I believe in You."
00:19:21.89\00:19:24.43
And they started to
head toward the tomb.
00:19:24.46\00:19:27.23
Now Mary had
sent word to the Jesus
00:19:27.26\00:19:30.10
was coming to
Martha, her sister.
00:19:30.13\00:19:32.87
Martha jumped up
00:19:32.90\00:19:34.24
when she heard the
news and she ran out
00:19:34.27\00:19:35.67
and all the
professional mourners
00:19:35.70\00:19:37.54
and everybody there thought,
00:19:37.57\00:19:39.04
"Oh, she's going to the tomb."
00:19:39.07\00:19:41.24
Well, she was
running to meet Jesus.
00:19:41.28\00:19:44.45
By the time they
actually got there,
00:19:44.48\00:19:46.01
Jesus was at the tomb.
00:19:46.05\00:19:48.38
And as He's
standing there at the tomb,
00:19:48.42\00:19:50.79
they're saying, "Lord,
He's been dead, four days!"
00:19:50.82\00:19:53.82
Yeah, basically he's stinky.
00:19:53.86\00:19:57.29
"You know why Lord,
00:19:57.33\00:19:58.79
would you even
want to be here now?"
00:19:58.83\00:20:00.53
And He asked the men
to roll away the stone
00:20:00.56\00:20:03.03
of the tomb.
00:20:03.06\00:20:04.40
He could have done it Himself.
00:20:04.43\00:20:05.77
He could have flicked His finger
00:20:05.80\00:20:07.14
and rolled the stone away.
00:20:07.17\00:20:08.50
But He cooperates
with humanity also.
00:20:08.54\00:20:10.84
They rolled the stone away.
00:20:10.87\00:20:12.77
And now He stands there.
00:20:12.81\00:20:14.14
He has a prayer to His father.
00:20:14.18\00:20:15.71
And He says,
"Lazarus come forth."
00:20:15.74\00:20:19.08
And you could hear a pin drop
00:20:19.11\00:20:21.85
amongst all these
people in this desert scene.
00:20:21.88\00:20:26.09
And they here
rustling in the tomb.
00:20:26.12\00:20:28.32
Then all of a
sudden, out of this tomb,
00:20:28.36\00:20:30.79
here comes Lazarus hopping.
00:20:30.83\00:20:32.26
He's wrapped in grave cloth.
00:20:32.29\00:20:34.03
He's got cloth over
his face, he can't see,
00:20:34.06\00:20:36.93
but he's out of the tomb.
00:20:36.97\00:20:38.77
Everybody is standing
around in amazement, saying,
00:20:38.80\00:20:41.24
"What's going on?"
00:20:41.27\00:20:42.97
Jesus says, "Has
to tell somebody,
00:20:43.00\00:20:45.31
unwrap him.
00:20:45.34\00:20:46.68
Take the cloths off,
take the wrappings off."
00:20:46.71\00:20:49.94
And Jesus had raised
Lazarus from the dead.
00:20:49.98\00:20:54.12
Now it's interesting
00:20:54.15\00:20:55.75
because every recorded funeral
00:20:55.78\00:20:57.85
of the Bible
that Jesus attended,
00:20:57.89\00:20:59.99
He broke up the
funeral by raising the dead.
00:21:00.02\00:21:02.96
He is the Creator God.
00:21:02.99\00:21:04.56
He came down
here to Planet Earth
00:21:04.59\00:21:06.16
to sheriff Himself
00:21:06.19\00:21:07.53
to show His
personality who He really is.
00:21:07.56\00:21:10.60
He loves us and if
we fall asleep in Jesus,
00:21:10.63\00:21:14.97
He wants to
resurrect us at that final day
00:21:15.00\00:21:17.57
and take us to
eternity with Him.
00:21:17.61\00:21:19.64
But here's the key.
00:21:19.67\00:21:21.21
Now's the time
to have a friendship
00:21:21.24\00:21:23.45
and relationship with Him,
00:21:23.48\00:21:24.85
now is the time
to get to know Him
00:21:24.88\00:21:27.05
as your very best friend.
00:21:27.08\00:21:28.58
That's what He's
looking forward to.
00:21:28.62\00:21:30.55
Will you be today,
00:21:30.59\00:21:31.95
will you be His
very best friend?
00:21:31.99\00:21:34.62
Canvasback
Missions has been traveling
00:21:39.86\00:21:41.60
to the islands for 38 years.
00:21:41.63\00:21:44.03
Jesus said, "Go
into all the world."
00:21:44.07\00:21:45.60
You might say, "Well, islands,
00:21:45.63\00:21:46.97
that's not a very big area."
00:21:47.00\00:21:49.34
You know, I think of a story
00:21:49.37\00:21:50.81
where a fella was
walking on the seashore,
00:21:50.84\00:21:53.17
he was picking up starfish
00:21:53.21\00:21:55.51
and throwing them
out starfish at a time.
00:21:55.54\00:21:58.08
And a fellow
sitting on the porch said,
00:21:58.11\00:21:59.51
"Man, don't you know,
00:21:59.55\00:22:00.88
you can't throw all
those starfish back in,
00:22:00.92\00:22:02.32
they're just going to die."
00:22:02.35\00:22:03.69
He says, "But it
made a difference
00:22:03.72\00:22:05.05
to this one."
00:22:05.09\00:22:06.65
This young man
used to walk his brother
00:22:06.69\00:22:08.62
around into
because he was blind.
00:22:08.66\00:22:10.26
He couldn't see.
00:22:10.29\00:22:11.63
This young man has now
seen, this family has seen.
00:22:11.66\00:22:14.30
They've had surgery
00:22:14.33\00:22:15.66
because of the
Canvasback super teams.
00:22:15.70\00:22:17.77
It's virtually
changed their entire family.
00:22:17.80\00:22:20.60
You know, God
is working miracles
00:22:20.64\00:22:22.80
through Canvasback
one miracle at a time.
00:22:22.84\00:22:26.47
Mighty changes.
00:22:26.51\00:22:27.84
We invite you to
partner with Canvasback
00:22:27.88\00:22:29.71
because it makes a difference
in one life at a time.
00:22:29.74\00:22:33.01
Please join us.
Information is on your screen.
00:22:33.05\00:22:35.28
We thank you so
much for your support.
00:22:35.32\00:22:39.25
No, but I'll
tell you there was...
00:22:39.29\00:22:40.62
Tell me another story.
00:22:40.66\00:22:41.99
There was a little boy
who came to our clinic.
00:22:42.02\00:22:44.06
He was about nine years old.
00:22:44.09\00:22:45.56
And when he...
00:22:45.59\00:22:48.70
As all Marshallese
kids do they, you know,
00:22:48.73\00:22:51.57
invent their games to play.
00:22:51.60\00:22:53.34
So he climbed a coconut tree
00:22:53.37\00:22:55.87
and wanted to jump across
to the building over there.
00:22:55.90\00:23:00.68
And 'cause he wanted to peek
in and see what they were doing.
00:23:00.71\00:23:03.58
So jumped across,
and he hit a power line.
00:23:03.61\00:23:07.15
And it obliterated his nose
and threw him off the building.
00:23:07.18\00:23:13.09
And this boy was burnt his toes.
00:23:13.12\00:23:16.59
He was not in
good condition at all.
00:23:16.62\00:23:18.69
Dalen.
00:23:18.73\00:23:20.06
And when he came to my
clinic, he was so frightened.
00:23:20.10\00:23:26.74
He came in the back door
00:23:26.77\00:23:28.57
with a rag over
his face like this.
00:23:28.60\00:23:32.57
And when our
doctors interviewed,
00:23:32.61\00:23:36.14
did the examination,
he would hardly look up.
00:23:36.18\00:23:39.48
And I put a camera
to take pictures of him
00:23:39.51\00:23:43.08
and he didn't like that at all.
00:23:43.12\00:23:44.45
And I said, "Dalen,
00:23:44.49\00:23:45.82
if I'm going to
have to help you,
00:23:45.85\00:23:47.26
if you want me to help you
I need to take some pictures."
00:23:47.29\00:23:50.36
And he said, "Okay."
00:23:50.39\00:23:51.99
Well, after two
visits, two different teams,
00:23:52.03\00:23:55.33
we finally found an ENT
doctor from New York, Tal Dagan,
00:23:55.36\00:23:59.87
who got his
hospital, Mount Sinai Hospital,
00:23:59.90\00:24:03.91
to donate the
surgery for this little boy
00:24:03.94\00:24:06.88
and he built him a nose.
00:24:06.91\00:24:08.61
So you flew him to...
00:24:08.64\00:24:09.98
We flew him to New York.
00:24:10.01\00:24:11.35
We flew him to New York
00:24:11.38\00:24:12.71
actually three
times for three surgeries.
00:24:12.75\00:24:14.88
And you could see,
you know, the first day
00:24:14.92\00:24:17.02
when he got to New York,
of course, he was scared.
00:24:17.05\00:24:19.55
But he always wore
his hoodie like this.
00:24:19.59\00:24:22.39
Always walked
in there like this.
00:24:22.42\00:24:25.53
After his surgery,
00:24:25.56\00:24:26.90
after he recuperated
00:24:26.93\00:24:28.96
he was running
through the subways
00:24:29.00\00:24:31.67
and, you know,
showing us what he could do.
00:24:31.70\00:24:33.70
He was just feeling so happy.
00:24:33.74\00:24:35.17
He's now living in
the states going to school
00:24:35.20\00:24:38.74
and he's doing so much better.
00:24:38.77\00:24:40.68
So yeah, that is a
success story for me.
00:24:40.71\00:24:43.08
And it's because of the donors
00:24:43.11\00:24:45.28
that this kind
of thing happened.
00:24:45.31\00:24:46.65
That's right. That's right.
00:24:46.68\00:24:48.02
It's because of our donors.
00:24:48.05\00:24:49.38
We just really
appreciate the hearts of people
00:24:49.42\00:24:52.72
who have reached out to help.
00:24:52.75\00:24:54.72
People on these
little tiny remote islands
00:24:54.76\00:24:57.49
in the Pacific,
00:24:57.53\00:24:58.86
they care about them.
00:24:58.89\00:25:00.56
You know, this is a mission
that shares the love of Jesus
00:25:00.60\00:25:04.50
through our healing hands.
00:25:04.53\00:25:06.50
And we have been
working out in Micronesia
00:25:06.53\00:25:09.54
for about over 30 years,
00:25:09.57\00:25:13.58
and the people love
and trust our doctors.
00:25:13.61\00:25:16.91
Our teams come out not to play,
00:25:16.95\00:25:19.71
they know that
they have to work hard
00:25:19.75\00:25:21.98
during the days
that the hospitals open.
00:25:22.02\00:25:25.52
And give 110%,
00:25:25.55\00:25:29.02
give the very best
care to the people.
00:25:29.06\00:25:31.93
And that's really appreciated.
00:25:31.96\00:25:33.90
The other thing that means a lot
00:25:33.93\00:25:37.20
to the islanders
is that we love Jesus,
00:25:37.23\00:25:40.27
and we share that.
00:25:40.30\00:25:41.90
And that really,
really touches their hearts.
00:25:41.94\00:25:45.84
I have seen patients
who are scared to death.
00:25:45.87\00:25:49.44
And our doctors
pray with the patients
00:25:49.48\00:25:51.91
and all of a
sudden you could see
00:25:51.95\00:25:53.28
just all the fear going away.
00:25:53.31\00:25:55.15
We followed the
senator from the island
00:25:55.18\00:25:57.75
through dental
surgery the other day,
00:25:57.79\00:26:00.19
and then we interviewed him
00:26:00.22\00:26:01.56
and he saw that very thing,
00:26:01.59\00:26:03.16
just exactly what
you're talking about.
00:26:03.19\00:26:05.13
That is the joy of this work,
00:26:05.16\00:26:07.50
he's being able to share
Jesus in a very tangible way.
00:26:07.53\00:26:11.07
We're not just
preaching, we're not preaching,
00:26:11.10\00:26:13.74
but we are really
sharing this love.
00:26:13.77\00:26:16.50
You know, it's
exactly what Jesus did.
00:26:16.54\00:26:18.74
When you think about it,
00:26:18.77\00:26:20.11
Jesus came in and He
healed entire villages.
00:26:20.14\00:26:22.58
Before He ever taught
00:26:22.61\00:26:24.38
the gospel, really, He healed.
00:26:24.41\00:26:25.75
That's right.
00:26:25.78\00:26:27.12
And you've got
to prepare hearts.
00:26:27.15\00:26:28.48
And, you know, if
you're in a sick bed,
00:26:28.52\00:26:29.85
or if you're in trouble,
00:26:29.88\00:26:31.22
you can't think
about spiritual things.
00:26:31.25\00:26:32.92
All you're thinking
about is just yourself.
00:26:32.95\00:26:34.29
That's right.
00:26:34.32\00:26:35.66
So you relieving
their pain and suffering.
00:26:35.69\00:26:37.03
That's right.
00:26:37.06\00:26:38.39
And it's so exciting to see
00:26:38.43\00:26:40.86
our volunteers involved in that
00:26:40.90\00:26:43.16
because, you know,
some of them come out
00:26:43.20\00:26:45.63
and they've never
been out on a mission
00:26:45.67\00:26:47.27
and just being
able to share His love
00:26:47.30\00:26:50.61
and see how
great the benefits are.
00:26:50.64\00:26:54.71
I mean, who has
ever heard of having
00:26:54.74\00:26:57.28
cataracts for 1
year, 2 years, 3 years,
00:26:57.31\00:27:00.52
4 years, maybe even 10
years being blind that long?
00:27:00.55\00:27:04.55
I heard that somebody
the other day with 20 years.
00:27:04.59\00:27:07.22
Can't even imagine
it. Can you imagine?
00:27:07.26\00:27:09.66
Because in the United States
or in the "Western world, "
00:27:09.69\00:27:15.26
it's like a elective surgery.
00:27:15.30\00:27:17.80
"Oh yeah, I can
get my surgery done
00:27:17.83\00:27:19.67
maybe in three
weeks or six weeks."
00:27:19.70\00:27:21.97
No, here in the islands,
00:27:22.00\00:27:23.61
they have to wait
years before a team comes in,
00:27:23.64\00:27:27.08
before these
lenses are available."
00:27:27.11\00:27:31.18
