It's fun to kind of
watch the policemen here,
00:00:01.73\00:00:04.47
flagging all the various cars
but you know all of these cars
00:00:04.50\00:00:07.44
have people in them.
00:00:07.47\00:00:09.00
Many people
without Jesus Christ,
00:00:09.04\00:00:11.31
and that is the
gospel commission
00:00:11.34\00:00:13.31
to go into all the
world and share Jesus.
00:00:13.34\00:00:16.95
Now sometimes we
think of all the world
00:00:16.98\00:00:18.91
is a very
localized area here or here.
00:00:18.95\00:00:21.18
But, you know, down here
in the islands of Micronesia,
00:00:21.22\00:00:24.92
there are
people who need to hear
00:00:24.95\00:00:26.59
the precious
gospel of Jesus also.
00:00:26.62\00:00:28.96
And Jesus with that commission
of going all the world
00:00:28.99\00:00:31.79
set out a very specific line
00:00:31.83\00:00:34.13
of what I like to call
the cycle of evangelism.
00:00:34.16\00:00:37.60
Some sow plant seed,
00:00:37.63\00:00:41.04
others water and still
others harvest the seed.
00:00:41.07\00:00:45.01
Canvasback fits
especially in that first one,
00:00:45.04\00:00:48.11
sowing a lot of seed,
changing hearts and lives,
00:00:48.14\00:00:51.21
bringing them to an
awareness of who Jesus is,
00:00:51.25\00:00:54.25
His incredible love,
just one miracle at a time.
00:00:54.28\00:00:57.52
So you feel that the risks
00:01:16.40\00:01:19.07
would outweigh the benefits
00:01:19.11\00:01:22.44
for that left eye.
00:01:22.48\00:01:24.81
Okay, and then let's put
it up, come again I ask you.
00:01:24.85\00:01:28.22
Thank you so much, man.
00:01:28.25\00:01:29.58
Okay, I want to put an eye
drop in your right eye, okay.
00:01:31.72\00:01:35.19
This is a glaucoma
or eye pressure drop.
00:01:35.22\00:01:38.03
Look up high.
00:01:38.06\00:01:39.39
Close.
00:01:42.53\00:01:43.87
You know he's very valuable.
00:01:43.90\00:01:45.23
Quite a few patients when we
go on mission trips like this
00:01:46.20\00:01:48.74
that have brown cataracts
that his was extra, extra hard.
00:01:48.77\00:01:52.64
Yeah.
00:01:52.67\00:01:54.01
So the normal techniques I
would use to fractionate it
00:01:54.04\00:01:57.61
and suck it out
pieces would have been done
00:01:57.65\00:02:01.18
more harm than good
00:02:01.22\00:02:02.55
compared to what we did
is use a larger incision,
00:02:02.58\00:02:04.69
bring it out like
delivering a baby,
00:02:04.72\00:02:06.35
just bringing a
lot of away piece,
00:02:06.39\00:02:09.62
and that's what we did.
00:02:09.66\00:02:10.99
That's what that photo we took.
00:02:11.03\00:02:14.13
So not everything's good news?
00:02:14.16\00:02:16.67
That's right, in his other
eye we had bad news for him.
00:02:16.70\00:02:19.77
If there's eye
pressure, if his eye was,
00:02:19.80\00:02:22.07
it was earlier on in the process
00:02:22.10\00:02:26.27
we could have
done a lens exchange
00:02:26.31\00:02:28.74
and maybe a corneal transplant
but as it is he was sick enough
00:02:28.78\00:02:32.81
that we know from
experience we operated on eye
00:02:32.85\00:02:35.55
with that little
pressure that in case,
00:02:35.58\00:02:37.75
it's not the matter
of raising the pressure
00:02:37.79\00:02:39.52
that the, when eye get sick
00:02:39.55\00:02:40.89
it actually starts to
shut down fluid production.
00:02:40.92\00:02:43.46
And this is why
an eye can go in,
00:02:43.49\00:02:45.79
it's in the early
stages what we call phthisis
00:02:45.83\00:02:48.13
which is the fancy
medical term for so sick
00:02:48.16\00:02:50.97
that it starts to shrink.
00:02:51.00\00:02:52.33
So that's down.
00:02:54.90\00:02:56.24
Just turn it up
and push a little bit.
00:03:04.55\00:03:06.45
It'll just fall out in there.
00:03:06.48\00:03:07.95
Okay, let me give somebody.
00:03:07.98\00:03:09.58
Yeah.
00:03:09.62\00:03:11.65
There seem two things.
00:03:11.69\00:03:13.02
Right, cataract,
also retina failure.
00:03:13.05\00:03:15.86
So these guys fish all
night to bring in a catch.
00:03:18.13\00:03:21.66
The first one was
close to 80 pounds.
00:03:21.70\00:03:24.83
These guys look like
they caught bigger fish
00:03:24.87\00:03:26.94
and they just, it's
the luck of the draw.
00:03:26.97\00:03:28.80
Now by the end of the day,
00:03:31.97\00:03:33.31
I assume they pretty
much sell all these out.
00:03:33.34\00:03:35.21
Yeah.
00:03:35.24\00:03:36.88
In the morning people,
especially the markets,
00:03:36.91\00:03:40.78
they come in the morning
and just buy that markets
00:03:40.82\00:03:44.32
but you know people
who are selling food
00:03:44.35\00:03:46.42
first times and
they didn't buy it.
00:03:46.45\00:03:49.79
So most of it for the restaurant
00:03:49.82\00:03:51.36
and really the
tourist industry then.
00:03:51.39\00:03:54.13
Tourists don't usually
come and buy fish here.
00:03:54.16\00:03:57.33
Tourists don't
come to the restaurants?
00:03:57.37\00:04:00.30
Oh, yeah, they go
to the restaurant,
00:04:00.34\00:04:01.67
but not in here.
00:04:01.70\00:04:03.04
Yeah, now that's what I meant.
00:04:03.07\00:04:04.41
Yeah, yeah.
00:04:04.44\00:04:05.77
Eat everything
at the restaurants.
00:04:05.81\00:04:07.54
So it doesn't end up
on the table typically,
00:04:07.58\00:04:09.58
maybe the locals.
00:04:09.61\00:04:11.51
No.
00:04:11.55\00:04:12.88
Only few locals
will come and buy.
00:04:12.91\00:04:15.98
Those fishermen if
they have a good catch,
00:04:16.02\00:04:18.65
usually fishermen
can make some good money.
00:04:18.69\00:04:20.59
Oh, yeah.
00:04:20.62\00:04:22.29
Now how much
does a fisherman have
00:04:22.32\00:04:24.06
in the cost of his
equipment for a boat and thing?
00:04:24.09\00:04:26.49
How much does a boat cost?
00:04:26.53\00:04:27.86
Oh.
00:04:27.90\00:04:29.36
Boats will cost you, it depends.
00:04:29.40\00:04:31.57
The smaller boat will
cause you maybe 4000, 5000.
00:04:31.60\00:04:34.80
Lot of money.
00:04:34.84\00:04:36.17
Yeah, but the
nice one like mine,
00:04:36.20\00:04:38.07
maybe that's $8,000 $9,000.
00:04:38.11\00:04:42.01
A boat then
costs more than a car.
00:04:42.04\00:04:43.85
You were telling me
yesterday, some cars are $2,000.
00:04:43.88\00:04:46.61
Yes.
00:04:46.65\00:04:47.98
Few people have boat.
00:04:49.08\00:04:50.95
More people have cars
because cars are really cheap.
00:04:50.99\00:04:54.72
How much of the
economy is fishing
00:04:54.76\00:04:57.56
still here for the islands?
00:04:57.59\00:05:00.66
You know, we rarely export fish.
00:05:00.70\00:05:04.43
So it's the economy
00:05:04.47\00:05:06.07
and what we are getting
from fish is the license
00:05:06.10\00:05:08.14
that these people are giving us.
00:05:08.17\00:05:10.31
So about two, three, about
up to maybe almost $3 million.
00:05:10.34\00:05:14.24
So the big... A $30 million.
00:05:14.28\00:05:15.81
The big fishing
groups from other countries.
00:05:15.84\00:05:18.01
Yes.
00:05:18.05\00:05:19.38
But the small one,
they just come here,
00:05:19.41\00:05:20.75
and people, less
people are fishing now.
00:05:20.78\00:05:23.39
So we just buy...
00:05:23.42\00:05:25.05
Buy all the fish. Yeah.
00:05:25.09\00:05:27.09
Do these all gill nets?
00:05:27.12\00:05:29.22
Now they catch it by nets?
00:05:29.26\00:05:30.59
No, no spear.
00:05:30.63\00:05:31.96
Nighttime they go spearfishing.
00:05:31.99\00:05:33.33
This all spearfishing? Yeah.
00:05:33.36\00:05:34.96
They're busy. That's a
lot of fish to catch...
00:05:35.00\00:05:36.46
Oh, these guys they go down
00:05:36.50\00:05:38.13
like some of them will
go down like 70-80 feet.
00:05:38.17\00:05:41.34
And they're just
snorkeling doing it.
00:05:41.37\00:05:43.81
Wow.
00:05:43.84\00:05:46.68
It's amazing.
00:05:46.71\00:05:48.04
It's just like,
you know, you use tank,
00:05:48.08\00:05:49.41
you go down 90-feet, 70.
00:05:49.44\00:05:51.28
These guys are fishing way down.
00:05:51.31\00:05:53.52
Now I've been scuba
diving for a lot of years
00:05:53.55\00:05:56.12
but, boy, when you just snorkel,
00:05:56.15\00:05:57.65
that takes a lot to
go down and find a fish
00:05:57.69\00:06:00.36
and spear it and get back up
before you run out of breath.
00:06:00.39\00:06:04.93
You know, fishing is an industry
00:06:04.96\00:06:07.16
as old as time itself really.
00:06:07.20\00:06:09.20
Matter of fact, even
Jesus after the resurrection,
00:06:09.23\00:06:11.67
He met with the disciples.
00:06:11.70\00:06:13.20
He saw them out on the
lake, He called to them,
00:06:13.23\00:06:15.27
they've been fishing.
00:06:15.30\00:06:16.64
They came in
00:06:16.67\00:06:18.01
and there was a
beautiful little fire with fish
00:06:18.04\00:06:19.91
laid on the fire
00:06:19.94\00:06:21.28
to provide them some sustenance.
00:06:21.31\00:06:23.38
Fishing as an economy
here that's dwindled over time.
00:06:23.41\00:06:26.78
Now there's very few
fishermen in comparison
00:06:26.82\00:06:29.15
to the worldwide fishing
00:06:29.18\00:06:30.89
that goes on China and
Japan and many other nations.
00:06:30.92\00:06:33.82
They're taking
most of the catch,
00:06:33.86\00:06:35.42
which leaves very little
00:06:35.46\00:06:37.39
for the
nationals here in Pohnpei.
00:06:37.43\00:06:40.26
According to the
World Health Organization,
00:06:44.57\00:06:46.90
depression is the leading
cause of worldwide disability
00:06:46.94\00:06:50.77
that happens to a lot of people.
00:06:50.81\00:06:53.11
Are you depressed?
00:06:53.14\00:06:54.48
Have you become
discouraged lately?
00:06:54.51\00:06:56.68
The list is endless of things
00:06:56.71\00:06:58.25
that can trigger discouragement,
00:06:58.28\00:06:59.78
despair, or even depression.
00:06:59.81\00:07:02.05
If you are someone
you know is experiencing
00:07:02.08\00:07:03.99
one or more of
these difficulties,

Well, Bruce had been
asked several times by Dr. Gino
00:07:41.89\00:07:44.99
to come to Pohnpei
and I guess any mission,
00:07:45.03\00:07:49.53
but particularly here to
work on all the equipment.
00:07:49.56\00:07:53.30
And Bruce didn't
want to go without me.
00:07:53.34\00:07:55.94
So it worked out
for me to go with him.
00:07:55.97\00:07:58.77
And I'm really glad
that we got to go together,
00:07:58.81\00:08:00.91
we have lots of
projects at home.
00:08:00.94\00:08:02.54
And, but this is, this
is much more important.
00:08:02.58\00:08:06.58
Helping people, these
people really need some help
00:08:06.61\00:08:09.18
and we're able to give
it actually quite easily.
00:08:09.22\00:08:13.25
It's a little different.
00:08:13.29\00:08:14.86
I'm a college professor,
and I teach computer classes.
00:08:14.89\00:08:18.19
I think that,
yeah, just extra hands
00:08:18.23\00:08:21.56
makes the work lighter.
00:08:21.60\00:08:23.37
And that's true here too.
00:08:23.40\00:08:26.23
But I mean, and
she took some time
00:08:26.27\00:08:29.30
to train a little
bit before she came,
00:08:29.34\00:08:31.14
and I'm sure she felt like,
00:08:31.17\00:08:33.11
you know, she was in overhead.
00:08:33.14\00:08:35.28
But when she started here,
00:08:35.31\00:08:36.64
but at least she had
a little exposure to it
00:08:36.68\00:08:39.61
before she
actually started doing that.
00:08:39.65\00:08:42.18
And she's
familiar with the equipment
00:08:42.22\00:08:46.35
from kind of
mechanical standpoint,
00:08:46.39\00:08:50.96
because she's a
dealer for the autoclaves
00:08:50.99\00:08:55.53
that we're using here.
00:08:55.56\00:08:57.27
And so she set
up for, for us to go
00:08:57.30\00:09:01.44
and get factory
training for servicing.
00:09:01.47\00:09:05.77
So that, yeah, she sat
through those classes with me.
00:09:05.81\00:09:10.71
Yeah, for me
probably six months ago,
00:09:10.75\00:09:14.35
because I started getting emails
00:09:14.38\00:09:18.99
from Dr. Galvin of
stuff that wasn't working,
00:09:19.02\00:09:24.26
that they would need help with
00:09:24.29\00:09:27.10
and I actually then
00:09:27.13\00:09:31.30
was able to get some
equipment that needed repair
00:09:31.33\00:09:36.74
and fix it at home
and send it over here.
00:09:36.77\00:09:40.18
So when we got
here, we had pieces
00:09:40.21\00:09:42.48
that were already working.
00:09:42.51\00:09:44.45
And then we'll
leave those here for them
00:09:44.48\00:09:48.22
to continue using
stuff that anybody could do.
00:09:48.25\00:09:53.02
When we first got here,
00:09:53.05\00:09:55.22
all, everything
needed to be unpacked.
00:09:55.26\00:09:57.69
And so that's a
big job in itself.
00:09:57.73\00:10:00.60
Containment,
almost a containment room.
00:10:00.63\00:10:02.66
Yeah, a lot of, a
lot of big box crates.
00:10:02.70\00:10:07.87
And so then one of the
things that they wanted done
00:10:07.90\00:10:11.81
is they had a couple
of new pieces of equipment
00:10:11.84\00:10:14.48
that they had gotten here,
00:10:14.51\00:10:15.84
but they, they just
been sitting in the box
00:10:15.88\00:10:19.01
because they didn't have
anybody to put them together.
00:10:19.05\00:10:21.38
And one was a
surgery microscope.
00:10:21.42\00:10:24.05
Another was retinal camera.
00:10:24.09\00:10:26.55
And so, I actually
didn't do all of that,
00:10:26.59\00:10:30.09
I just helped out in
parts and other people,
00:10:30.13\00:10:34.46
you know, took it out of the box
00:10:34.50\00:10:37.10
and got stuff ready so
that I could stay on task
00:10:37.13\00:10:41.20
with some other things.
00:10:41.24\00:10:42.60
A lot of the stuff
that I've worked on,
00:10:42.64\00:10:44.87
it's some of its
similar, but it's not the stuff
00:10:44.91\00:10:48.84
that I've
actually been trained in
00:10:48.88\00:10:51.08
or, you know,
had experience with.
00:10:51.11\00:10:53.18
So it's taken a
little more time.
00:10:53.21\00:10:56.58
And the internet,
00:10:56.62\00:10:57.95
internet's not quite as
good of the access here.
00:10:57.99\00:11:00.96
Normally I'd, you
know, for stuff that
00:11:00.99\00:11:04.33
piece of equipment that
I haven't worked on before
00:11:04.36\00:11:07.50
I would get on YouTube
00:11:07.53\00:11:08.86
and see if I could find
00:11:08.90\00:11:10.23
some
instructional stuff on there.
00:11:10.27\00:11:12.57
I kid people and tell them
00:11:12.60\00:11:14.40
I'm a doctor that
I'm a neurologist.
00:11:14.44\00:11:19.21
And I, so I have a
doctorate in neurology.
00:11:19.24\00:11:23.61
But, so I've got some
stuff on YouTube, too,
00:11:23.65\00:11:26.75
that you know, showing how
to work on different lasers
00:11:26.78\00:11:30.42
or stuff like that.
00:11:30.45\00:11:32.42
But...
00:11:32.45\00:11:33.86
Right, yeah, we had
some catching up to do.
00:11:33.89\00:11:36.02
We had to be
ready Monday morning.
00:11:36.06\00:11:37.66
Surgeries right away.
00:11:37.69\00:11:40.06
Yeah, that first day,
we were pretty wiped out.
00:11:40.10\00:11:44.37
Oh, and we're
having a great time
00:11:44.40\00:11:46.37
meeting some of the people here.
00:11:46.40\00:11:49.34
We haven't had a chance
00:11:49.37\00:11:50.71
because of the
extra day they get here
00:11:50.74\00:11:54.21
to really look
around or see stuff
00:11:54.24\00:11:56.18
a lot of times more,
00:11:56.21\00:11:57.58
you get a chance to go
walk and it's dark already.
00:11:57.61\00:11:59.88
But we did get one
evening to get out a little bit
00:11:59.91\00:12:03.02
while it was still daylight.
00:12:03.05\00:12:04.89
So that's kind of fun.
00:12:04.92\00:12:06.25
And just the sea and
the water so close and...
00:12:06.29\00:12:11.46
Well, part of it is,
00:12:11.49\00:12:13.73
you know,
00:12:13.76\00:12:17.50
for the people that
that came on the team,
00:12:17.53\00:12:20.50
Dr. Gino, Dr. Marshall.
00:12:20.54\00:12:24.21
Yeah, those guys
are part of my family.
00:12:24.24\00:12:26.34
So you know that,
if they need help,
00:12:26.37\00:12:28.64
I want to help them out.
00:12:28.68\00:12:30.01
So that's, that's part of it.
00:12:30.05\00:12:31.61
And then the people
here, you know, to help them
00:12:31.65\00:12:36.95
and, but not only to help them,
00:12:36.99\00:12:39.35
but to just get to
know them a little bit,
00:12:39.39\00:12:41.72
and have a chance to interact
00:12:41.76\00:12:46.49
and share what,
what's going on in their life
00:12:46.53\00:12:50.57
and what's
going on in our lives.
00:12:50.60\00:12:52.83
And so, that,
that's part of it, too.
00:12:52.87\00:12:55.97
But, yeah, we, where I work,
00:12:56.00\00:12:59.57
there's lots of doctors
that are doing missions.
00:12:59.61\00:13:02.98
You know, I'm
really, really honored
00:13:03.01\00:13:05.25
to be a part of that group.
00:13:05.28\00:13:06.92
And there's a doctor
00:13:06.95\00:13:08.95
that goes to
Ethiopia every year.
00:13:08.98\00:13:12.32
A doctor that goes to Fiji.
00:13:12.35\00:13:15.56
Doctor Gino that does somewhere
in the Marshall Islands
00:13:15.59\00:13:18.96
or the Micronesia every year.
00:13:18.99\00:13:23.60
There's a doctor that goes
to North Korea at once a year.
00:13:23.63\00:13:29.04
And so, you know
that that's the thing.
00:13:29.07\00:13:31.67
They've all been asking
me and I've been kind of
00:13:31.71\00:13:34.38
just taking care of
them when they're at home.
00:13:34.41\00:13:37.01
This is a big job in itself.
00:13:37.05\00:13:38.85
So I've kind of put it off.
00:13:38.88\00:13:40.68
But yeah, no,
after this experience,
00:13:40.72\00:13:44.52
I think I would, you
know, if we can work it out,
00:13:44.55\00:13:47.99
I think we would do it again,
00:13:48.02\00:13:49.36
if there was a
situation where we think
00:13:49.39\00:13:51.36
our skills would help out so.
00:13:51.39\00:13:53.66
Oh, absolutely, absolutely.
00:13:53.70\00:13:55.56
I've really
enjoyed giving the people,
00:13:55.60\00:13:57.10
you know, I'm back
in the surgery area,
00:13:57.13\00:13:59.17
and they're several of
the Pohnpei people here
00:13:59.20\00:14:03.34
that work for the
hospital and we get to spend,
00:14:03.37\00:14:06.57
we get to spend a
little time visiting.
00:14:06.61\00:14:08.91
And it's neat to see
the difference in culture.
00:14:08.94\00:14:11.88
One thing is their sense
of time, or lack thereof.
00:14:11.91\00:14:17.15
They're very easygoing.
00:14:17.19\00:14:18.82
They're never in a
rush, which you know,
00:14:18.85\00:14:21.39
sometimes that's
good for us to see.
00:14:21.42\00:14:23.69
You know why let, why
just rush through life.
00:14:23.73\00:14:25.93
Let's take a little time.
00:14:25.96\00:14:27.60
But sometimes there is
a need for schedule, so.
00:14:27.63\00:14:31.60
Well, I think
that the Canvasback
00:14:31.63\00:14:34.47
they're doing a
very needed service.
00:14:34.50\00:14:39.91
When the one
night that we did get
00:14:39.94\00:14:42.34
to walk around a little bit,
00:14:42.38\00:14:45.11
you don't have to
get very far out it away
00:14:45.15\00:14:47.88
from the center of town to see
00:14:47.92\00:14:50.52
that the residents
here really don't have much
00:14:50.55\00:14:53.82
and as far as
anything that's extra,
00:14:53.86\00:15:00.70
you know that their lives
are pretty much just sustained.
00:15:00.73\00:15:05.80
And that's about
the, what they have,
00:15:05.83\00:15:09.44
and the first day at clinic here
00:15:09.47\00:15:12.17
that that was a
real eye opener for me.
00:15:12.21\00:15:15.11
Because, you know, it wasn't
just the clinic waiting room
00:15:15.14\00:15:19.81
that all the
halls in the hospital
00:15:19.85\00:15:22.32
were full of people
sitting with a hope.
00:15:22.35\00:15:26.49
They didn't have appointments,
00:15:26.52\00:15:28.96
sitting with a hope that
they could get some care.
00:15:28.99\00:15:32.79
And so, that, that really
00:15:32.83\00:15:37.37
affected me for coming.
00:15:37.40\00:15:41.44
It'll be
exciting tomorrow morning,
00:15:41.47\00:15:42.84
we get to see some of the...
00:15:42.87\00:15:44.41
We're always in surgery week.
00:15:44.44\00:15:46.11
So we see the
certain that those patients
00:15:46.14\00:15:48.28
but we don't get
to see the results.
00:15:48.31\00:15:50.25
But we'll have that
opportunity tomorrow when they,
00:15:50.28\00:15:52.78
you know, remove the patch
and get to see their reaction
00:15:52.81\00:15:56.92
to having vision again.
00:15:56.95\00:15:59.19
So for Canvasback, I'd say that,
00:15:59.22\00:16:02.06
that would be the real
reason for supporting Canvasback
00:16:02.09\00:16:06.23
is because of the opportunity
00:16:06.26\00:16:09.30
that they're
providing for these people
00:16:09.33\00:16:11.23
to get some care that
they wouldn't get there.
00:16:11.27\00:16:14.20
There are a lot of them,
there's no way they could buy
00:16:14.24\00:16:17.37
a ticket to get off
island, to go somewhere else
00:16:17.41\00:16:20.41
where there might be somebody
that could give them the care.
00:16:20.44\00:16:25.05
So that that's I see
the big part of Canvasback.
00:16:25.08\00:16:29.58
As a leader in the
field of health in Micronesia,
00:16:32.52\00:16:35.76
Canvasback Missions
has been helping people
00:16:35.79\00:16:38.33
reverse diabetes for years.
00:16:38.36\00:16:41.23
Yes, you heard
correctly, reverse diabetes.
00:16:41.26\00:16:45.33
In addition, we are
helping to reduce the incident
00:16:45.37\00:16:48.14
of heart disease.
00:16:48.17\00:16:49.64
At least 34 million
people in the US have diabetes.
00:16:49.67\00:16:53.78
Many have no idea they have
it until it's almost too late.
00:16:53.81\00:16:57.81
Many children have diabetes.
00:16:57.85\00:17:00.12
It's time to
stop it in its tracks.
00:17:00.15\00:17:02.65
What's the key?
00:17:02.68\00:17:04.02
Certain foods,
exercise and many other simple
00:17:04.05\00:17:07.52
yet critical items are combined
to produce amazing results.

00:17:27.68\00:17:30.95
There were so many
times when Jesus found Himself
00:17:34.78\00:17:37.39
by the seaside
teaching and preaching
00:17:37.42\00:17:39.72
and sharing about God.
00:17:39.75\00:17:42.62
Jesus was God,
but He came down here
00:17:42.66\00:17:45.39
to planet earth in human form.
00:17:45.43\00:17:47.56
So that He might share
with people who God really was
00:17:47.60\00:17:49.93
because the devil had lied.
00:17:49.96\00:17:51.63
The devil still lies
about how Jesus really is
00:17:51.67\00:17:55.17
who God really is.
00:17:55.20\00:17:58.57
He came down here to
die for you and for me.
00:17:58.61\00:18:01.58
One day toward the end of
His three and a half years
00:18:01.61\00:18:04.05
of earthly
ministry, they captured Him,
00:18:04.08\00:18:06.05
they took Him, they beat Him,
00:18:06.08\00:18:07.75
they did all
these things to Him,
00:18:07.78\00:18:09.12
and finally He
stood before Pilate.
00:18:09.15\00:18:11.55
Pilate was the
Roman who held Him up
00:18:11.59\00:18:14.76
before the people and asked
00:18:14.79\00:18:16.62
whether He should
be crucified or not.
00:18:16.66\00:18:19.19
But then he said a
very interesting thing.
00:18:19.23\00:18:21.96
He looked at Him and
he said, "Behold the man,
00:18:22.00\00:18:25.83
behold the man."
00:18:25.87\00:18:27.34
I would invite you
today to behold the man.
00:18:27.37\00:18:30.31
We behold Jesus,
the great teacher
00:18:30.34\00:18:32.31
who overlooking
the Sea of Galilee
00:18:32.34\00:18:34.78
begin sharing things that no one
00:18:34.81\00:18:37.05
had ever shared before.
00:18:37.08\00:18:38.91
Things have changed, hearts
and lives, changed my life.
00:18:38.95\00:18:41.15
Maybe it's changed yours.
00:18:41.18\00:18:43.75
Behold the man, we see
Jesus, who told the disciples
00:18:43.79\00:18:48.09
to cast out and go to
the other side of the lake.
00:18:48.12\00:18:51.26
How in the middle of that
lake He controlled the storm
00:18:51.29\00:18:53.56
because He was the
creator of the universe.
00:18:53.60\00:18:56.67
Peter came to Him and
said, "You know, Lord,
00:18:56.70\00:18:59.00
they've told us to pay taxes."
00:18:59.03\00:19:01.07
Jesus said, "Go to the sea,
catch a fish, the first fish
00:19:01.10\00:19:05.91
and pull out a
coin out of his mouth
00:19:05.94\00:19:08.14
and use that to pay taxes."
00:19:08.18\00:19:09.64
And that's exactly what he did.
00:19:09.68\00:19:11.75
Seems maybe hard to
imagine hard to believe,
00:19:11.78\00:19:13.92
but not for the
creator of the universe.
00:19:13.95\00:19:16.79
The disciples one time
were fishing out on the sea.
00:19:16.82\00:19:20.66
They were casting their nets,
they fished all night long.
00:19:20.69\00:19:24.43
And Jesus stood by the seashore
and He called out to them,
00:19:24.46\00:19:28.23
"Cast your nets on the
other side of the boat."
00:19:28.26\00:19:31.17
Well, it turned
out that was the side
00:19:31.20\00:19:32.63
between He and the disciples.
00:19:32.67\00:19:36.94
They cast the nets in,
after a little bit of argument
00:19:36.97\00:19:39.51
because they were
seasoned fishermen.
00:19:39.54\00:19:40.94
They didn't want
to listen to Jesus.
00:19:40.98\00:19:42.94
Cast the nets in,
the catch was huge.
00:19:42.98\00:19:45.88
They pulled up
this mighty catch.
00:19:45.91\00:19:47.55
Why? Because
Jesus was the creator.
00:19:47.58\00:19:50.59
I invite you today to
behold Jesus as the creator.
00:19:50.62\00:19:54.02
And Jesus we see
Him just before the time
00:19:54.06\00:19:57.43
of the crucifixion.
00:19:57.46\00:19:58.79
He's in a Garden of Gethsemane.
00:19:58.83\00:20:00.96
He stayed under a tree,
00:20:01.00\00:20:02.66
He poured out His
heart to the Father
00:20:02.70\00:20:04.30
because as the God
man, He taken on human form,
00:20:04.33\00:20:07.84
human life and a young
man in his early thirties,
00:20:07.87\00:20:10.01
He didn't want to die.
00:20:10.04\00:20:12.01
He really didn't want to
die says, "Father, please,
00:20:12.04\00:20:14.48
if this cup can pass
from Me, let it be so."
00:20:14.51\00:20:18.01
No word, nothing.
00:20:18.05\00:20:19.98
"Nevertheless,
Father, not My will,
00:20:20.02\00:20:22.52
but Your will be done."
00:20:22.55\00:20:23.89
That happened three times,
00:20:23.92\00:20:25.62
not My will, but
Your will be done.
00:20:25.65\00:20:28.66
Finally, He was
completely resigned to the fact
00:20:28.69\00:20:31.46
that He would do
the Father's will,
00:20:31.49\00:20:33.53
He chose to do
the Father's will.
00:20:33.56\00:20:36.80
He was then
captured taken to Pilate.
00:20:36.83\00:20:38.93
We're back to that scene,
Pilate says, "Behold the man."
00:20:38.97\00:20:42.60
And then they took
Him to Calvary's cross.
00:20:42.64\00:20:44.97
He laid down on
that cross willingly
00:20:45.01\00:20:47.71
because that's why
He came to planet earth
00:20:47.74\00:20:49.71
in order to die for you and me.
00:20:49.74\00:20:51.58
Laid there as they counted
those nails into His hand,
00:20:51.61\00:20:54.52
into His feet.
00:20:54.55\00:20:57.49
He was bleeding, hanging there.
00:20:57.52\00:20:59.62
He looked at the crowd,
said, "Father, forgive them.
00:20:59.65\00:21:03.73
They don't know
what they're doing."
00:21:03.76\00:21:05.56
Truly, they didn't.
00:21:05.59\00:21:06.93
They were
crucifying God Himself.
00:21:06.96\00:21:10.47
And then they took
Him, placed Him in a tomb.
00:21:10.50\00:21:14.07
I've had the
opportunity to be in that tomb,
00:21:14.10\00:21:17.44
to lay almost in that tomb.
00:21:17.47\00:21:21.08
And guess what?
The tomb was empty.
00:21:21.11\00:21:24.08
I've had the
wonderful opportunity.
00:21:24.11\00:21:25.91
The team and I have to
film all over the world,
00:21:25.95\00:21:29.48
many places, and we
filmed pieces of Buddha here,
00:21:29.52\00:21:32.05
pieces of Buddha there,
00:21:32.09\00:21:33.46
pieces of this one
here, this one there.
00:21:33.49\00:21:36.06
They all
integrate, but not Jesus,
00:21:36.09\00:21:38.79
that grave is empty,
00:21:38.83\00:21:40.16
because the
Father called Him forth.
00:21:40.20\00:21:42.60
He raised to eternal life.
00:21:42.63\00:21:45.23
What a God we serve.
00:21:45.27\00:21:46.60
And He said, you
know, this same Jesus,
00:21:46.63\00:21:48.34
He's going to come
again in the same way.
00:21:48.37\00:21:50.77
He's going to come
back to planet earth,
00:21:50.81\00:21:52.97
and He's going to
take those to Himself
00:21:53.01\00:21:54.74
who committed their lives
fully and completely to Him.
00:21:54.78\00:21:58.15
Today, behold Jesus.
00:21:58.18\00:22:00.62
When you behold Jesus, you
see Him with Your own eyes.
00:22:00.65\00:22:03.69
He will change Your life.
00:22:03.72\00:22:06.29
All the stuff taped
in this room, I take it,
00:22:10.13\00:22:11.96
that's not the normal
scenario your team's doing.
00:22:11.99\00:22:14.96
Yes, it's genius, too.
00:22:15.00\00:22:16.46
I think if you look
around every cabinet's packed
00:22:16.50\00:22:19.83
with equipments,
but none of is ours.
00:22:19.87\00:22:22.14
And you can't
take theirs out, right?
00:22:22.17\00:22:23.77
So they bring these
bags and they tape them up
00:22:23.81\00:22:25.94
and label.
00:22:25.97\00:22:27.31
My daughter did the last year
and my son did it this year,
00:22:27.34\00:22:29.24
they put it all up.
Yeah, it makes it much easier.
00:22:29.28\00:22:32.18
It really helps
with inventory too.
00:22:32.21\00:22:34.25
For example, we only have
six air filters left to air,
00:22:34.28\00:22:37.39
you know, gas cases.
00:22:37.42\00:22:38.79
And so we can
keep track of that.
00:22:38.82\00:22:40.42
And then what happens?
Then we talk about recycling.
00:22:40.46\00:22:43.12
We're using, yeah, safely, yeah.
00:22:43.16\00:22:46.13
It's the mission field
where we've got to do something.
00:22:46.16\00:22:48.00
It is, it is.
You can't compromise.
00:22:48.03\00:22:50.27
So tell us before
the patient shows up,
00:22:50.30\00:22:51.87
what's going to be
happening here today?
00:22:51.90\00:22:53.23
All right.
00:22:53.27\00:22:54.60
So we have an elderly patient
00:22:54.64\00:22:56.40
with unusual
disease for this area.
00:22:56.44\00:22:59.37
It's called age
related macular degeneration.
00:22:59.41\00:23:02.21
And this happens to the elderly.
00:23:02.24\00:23:04.18
And the average
lifespan is not very long here.
00:23:04.21\00:23:08.32
I know in Majuro, I
believe it's like 55.
00:23:08.35\00:23:10.85
So I'd imagine it's
not too different here.
00:23:10.89\00:23:12.85
So this is a disease
that happens after age 50.
00:23:12.89\00:23:15.72
I got to stop here
'cause the average age is 55.
00:23:15.76\00:23:19.03
That's it. I
believe it is in Majuro.
00:23:19.06\00:23:21.16
Like now for here, I suspect
it's a little longer but...
00:23:21.20\00:23:24.13
But somewhere in
that neighborhood.
00:23:24.17\00:23:25.53
Yeah, which is scary.
00:23:25.57\00:23:26.90
So definitely a
lot shorter than it is.
00:23:26.94\00:23:28.97
It is, like infant
mortality is really high.
00:23:29.00\00:23:31.71
It tends to spike, you
know, infant mortality is high.
00:23:31.74\00:23:34.48
And then there's one more point
in your life if you make it
00:23:34.51\00:23:36.85
through the 20s,
then you're very likely
00:23:36.88\00:23:38.45
to make it to your 50s.
00:23:38.48\00:23:40.05
Wow, okay.
00:23:40.08\00:23:41.42
So this person
has that particular...
00:23:41.45\00:23:43.12
They do.
00:23:43.15\00:23:44.49
They have age
related macular degeneration,
00:23:44.52\00:23:46.22
which in the US is
the number one cause
00:23:46.25\00:23:47.92
of vision loss in
our retired population.
00:23:47.96\00:23:51.29
Here, you know,
there's not very many retired
00:23:51.33\00:23:53.63
elderly people, but we have one
00:23:53.66\00:23:55.60
and she has
cataract in both eyes.
00:23:55.63\00:23:58.43
And she has advanced age related
00:23:58.47\00:24:00.14
macular degeneration.
00:24:00.17\00:24:01.80
There's two types, a dry type,
which is usually more mild,
00:24:01.84\00:24:04.61
slow progressing.
00:24:04.64\00:24:05.97
And then a wet type.
00:24:06.01\00:24:07.71
And the wet type is
when you have bleeding
00:24:07.74\00:24:09.38
in the eye and rapid
vision loss is severe.
00:24:09.41\00:24:12.21
What it does it
cause central vision loss
00:24:12.25\00:24:14.28
and can cause peripheral
00:24:14.32\00:24:15.72
and very rarely
like 1% of the time.
00:24:15.75\00:24:18.05
And we have a one
percenter with us today.
00:24:18.09\00:24:19.82
So her blood broke
through the retina,
00:24:19.85\00:24:22.06
spread out from the
center and is in outer edges.
00:24:22.09\00:24:24.79
So what we're going to
do is take the cataract out,
00:24:24.83\00:24:27.36
and then take the
blood out of the eye,
00:24:27.40\00:24:30.10
and then check the macula.
00:24:30.13\00:24:31.47
We haven't really seen it yet.
00:24:31.50\00:24:33.20
We're presuming
that's the diagnosis
00:24:33.23\00:24:34.67
because we could
see the other eye.
00:24:34.70\00:24:36.57
So this is the
removal of the cataract
00:24:36.60\00:24:39.44
in removing the blood
00:24:39.47\00:24:40.81
is that one part
of the surgery or...
00:24:40.84\00:24:42.61
That's two separate parts, yes.
00:24:42.64\00:24:44.31
So
traditionally, cataract surgery
00:24:44.35\00:24:46.18
and then they'd come
back weeks or months later,
00:24:46.21\00:24:48.82
and do the other eye.
00:24:48.85\00:24:50.19
But since she
here only two weeks?
00:24:50.22\00:24:52.62
All in one day, yeah. Okay.
00:24:52.65\00:24:55.46
So we'll get the
blood out of the way
00:24:55.49\00:24:57.46
and then we'll check the macula,
00:24:57.49\00:24:58.83
and it's very
possible we'll have
00:24:58.86\00:25:00.20
some healthy tissue back there
00:25:00.23\00:25:02.06
and make a huge
difference for the patient.
00:25:02.10\00:25:04.67
But it's more likely
that they'll be a scar
00:25:04.70\00:25:07.27
in the center.
00:25:07.30\00:25:08.64
And will make a moderate
difference for the patient
00:25:08.67\00:25:11.07
meaning we can bring
back her peripheral vision,
00:25:11.11\00:25:13.27
but she'll still
have a blind spot
00:25:13.31\00:25:14.64
in the very center,
00:25:14.68\00:25:16.01
but peripheral visions usually
much you walk around ambulate,
00:25:16.04\00:25:19.18
so you don't need
someone taking care of you 24/7.
00:25:19.21\00:25:21.25
You're here two
weeks, of course,
00:25:24.02\00:25:25.35
this time
unfortunately you got cut short
00:25:25.39\00:25:26.89
because there was an
emergency on the plane.
00:25:26.92\00:25:28.36
You had to go
back to Hawaii. Yes.
00:25:28.39\00:25:30.59
But so you lost a day.
00:25:30.63\00:25:32.36
But typically, how
many patients can you do?
00:25:32.39\00:25:35.53
How many cataract
surgeries can you do?
00:25:35.56\00:25:37.70
So on a mission trip?
00:25:37.73\00:25:39.97
Well, the cataract
surgeons, I'm a retina surgeon,
00:25:40.00\00:25:42.30
but so the cataract
surgeons, I believe they did
00:25:42.34\00:25:45.71
a little less than 200
cataract surgeries alone.
00:25:45.74\00:25:48.88
So over 200
retina also. Two hundred?
00:25:48.91\00:25:50.68
Yeah, we're two
weeks. So divide that by 10.
00:25:50.71\00:25:53.85
You know, 20 cases a day, so.
00:25:53.88\00:25:55.95
So it's what, in the US
00:25:55.98\00:25:59.05
a couple hundred thousand
dollars worth of surgeries?
00:25:59.09\00:26:01.59
Yes. All free?
00:26:01.62\00:26:03.49
Yes. All free.
00:26:03.53\00:26:04.86
Wow. Praise the Lord. Yes.
00:26:04.89\00:26:07.13
Now, in your side of
things, the retinal surgery.
00:26:07.16\00:26:10.23
You and I were
talking some basic,
00:26:10.27\00:26:11.83
you have performed the first one
00:26:11.87\00:26:13.20
you think have been
performed in Micronesia?
00:26:13.23\00:26:14.90
Correct.
00:26:14.94\00:26:16.27
Yeah, in last
year, the first one
00:26:16.30\00:26:18.34
in the Marshall Islands.
00:26:18.37\00:26:20.08
I did have the
benefit of speaking
00:26:20.11\00:26:21.44
with the retina specialists
00:26:21.48\00:26:22.81
who came out there
two years before me.
00:26:22.84\00:26:24.91
The folks are doing
the first retinal surgery
00:26:24.95\00:26:26.75
and he brought
all the equipment.
00:26:26.78\00:26:28.28
And he found out
there's no compressed gas
00:26:28.32\00:26:29.95
that you can run on the machines
00:26:29.98\00:26:31.32
when he got there.
00:26:31.35\00:26:32.69
So with that
warning, I called out Atkin
00:26:32.72\00:26:34.06
and told them the situation
00:26:34.09\00:26:35.82
and their team at
their research lab,
00:26:35.86\00:26:38.93
went out and
purchased air compressor
00:26:38.96\00:26:41.16
and got the specs on it
00:26:41.20\00:26:42.53
and they made the
fittings and adaptings
00:26:42.56\00:26:44.33
and they were amazing.
00:26:44.37\00:26:45.77
Oh, yeah, they were amazing.
00:26:45.80\00:26:47.14
I think they're trying
to avoid credit for it,
00:26:47.17\00:26:49.47
but they deserve it.
00:26:49.50\00:26:51.51
My husband and I founded
00:26:51.54\00:26:52.87
the Ministry of
Canvasback Missions
00:26:52.91\00:26:54.88
38 years ago to serve
00:26:54.91\00:26:56.61
the island
nations of the Pacific.
00:26:56.64\00:26:58.85
From those humble
beginnings, our medical
00:26:58.88\00:27:01.35
and dental super teams
have been changing lives
00:27:01.38\00:27:04.72
and bringing hope
to so many people.
00:27:04.75\00:27:08.09
Our teams volunteer
their time and resources,
00:27:08.12\00:27:11.73
and all of our
services are free.
00:27:11.76\00:27:14.16
But it does take
funding to make it all happen.
00:27:14.20\00:27:17.43
That's where you come in.
00:27:17.47\00:27:19.27
Your financial
support is needed.
00:27:19.30\00:27:21.84
Please join us
in changing lives,
00:27:21.87\00:27:24.47
one miracle at a time.
