From Arcadia, California,
the Carter Report Presents,
00:00:08.15\00:00:11.17
"The Living
Word" around the world.
00:00:11.18\00:00:13.58
Today, we have some special,
00:00:18.31\00:00:20.13
special guest from
the Solomon Islands.
00:00:20.14\00:00:23.71
Pastor and Mrs. Wayne Boehm,
00:00:23.72\00:00:26.51
Brady and also
their other son Jacob.
00:00:26.52\00:00:31.94
You folks are gonna forget that,
00:00:31.95\00:00:33.46
didn't you? But I didn't.
00:00:33.47\00:00:36.06
These folks come
originally from Australia
00:00:36.07\00:00:38.78
but the real
missionaries working for God
00:00:38.79\00:00:43.42
in the Solomon Islands.
00:00:43.43\00:00:44.65
We were in the
Solomon's few months ago,
00:00:44.66\00:00:47.06
and they we saw the
power and the glory of God.
00:00:47.07\00:00:51.93
And they're going
tell you the amazing story
00:00:51.94\00:00:55.32
and also what's
happened since we left.
00:00:55.33\00:00:58.63
So, you gonna meet
them real missionaries today
00:00:58.64\00:01:01.89

00:01:12.90\00:01:15.17
of the Solomon Islands
00:01:15.18\00:01:16.58
would never have
happened without your support.
00:01:16.59\00:01:19.47
I wanna thank all
the people in Australia

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine
00:02:42.70\00:02:52.56
O what a
foretaste of glory divine
00:02:52.57\00:03:02.64
Heir of
salvation, purchase of God
00:03:02.65\00:03:12.46
Born of His Spirit,
washed in His blood.
00:03:12.47\00:03:22.29
This is my
story, this is my song
00:03:22.30\00:03:31.91
Praising my
Savior, all the day long
00:03:31.92\00:03:41.82
This is my
story, this is my song
00:03:41.83\00:03:51.35
Praising my
Savior, all the day long
00:03:51.36\00:04:02.82
Perfect
submission, perfect delight
00:04:06.24\00:04:15.71
Visions of rapture
now burst on my sight
00:04:15.72\00:04:25.58
Angels
descending bring from above
00:04:25.59\00:04:35.25
Echoes of
mercy, whispers of love
00:04:35.26\00:04:44.95
This is my
story, this is my song
00:04:44.96\00:04:54.57
Praising my
Savior, all the day long
00:04:54.58\00:05:04.29
This is my
story, this is my song
00:05:04.30\00:05:13.78
Praising my
Savior, all the day long.
00:05:13.79\00:05:25.09
Perfect
submission, all is at rest
00:05:28.59\00:05:38.22
I in my Savior
am happy and blest
00:05:38.23\00:05:47.62
Watching and
waiting, looking above
00:05:47.63\00:05:57.20
Filled with His
goodness, lost in His love
00:05:57.21\00:06:06.81
This is my
story, this is my song
00:06:06.82\00:06:16.51
Praising my
Savior, all the day long
00:06:16.52\00:06:26.16
This is my
story, this is my song
00:06:26.17\00:06:35.83
Praising my Savior, all
the day long all the day long
00:06:35.84\00:06:51.56
I give you today
the warmest welcome.
00:07:00.15\00:07:03.32
My friends in Australia,
00:07:03.33\00:07:04.98
my friends across United States,
00:07:04.99\00:07:07.51
my friends in
Great Britain, Russia
00:07:07.52\00:07:10.24
even Saudi Arabia,
because I know you are watching.
00:07:10.25\00:07:13.15
So we wanna give you today
00:07:13.16\00:07:15.01
an extraordinary warm welcome.
00:07:15.02\00:07:19.91
Now folks, we have some
dinky-di missionaries with us.
00:07:19.92\00:07:27.11
I want you to know,
they're faired income
00:07:27.12\00:07:30.13
and they're true blue.
00:07:30.14\00:07:31.88
You folks no
reactions from all you,
00:07:34.96\00:07:36.61
you folks sitting
here, haven't got a clue
00:07:36.62\00:07:39.06
what I am talking about.
00:07:39.07\00:07:40.09
But I can tell you
the folks in Sydney know
00:07:40.10\00:07:42.54
what I am talking about.
00:07:42.55\00:07:45.04
We have Pastor
and Mrs. Wayne Boehm
00:07:45.05\00:07:47.13
with us today.
00:07:47.14\00:07:48.37
Brady and Jacob, and there
are great missionary family.
00:07:50.07\00:07:57.47
Some people think
they're missionaries
00:07:57.48\00:07:59.58
when they go overseas
00:07:59.59\00:08:01.39
and they just
sit behind big desk,
00:08:01.40\00:08:04.76
where it's all
nice and air-condition.
00:08:07.61\00:08:09.56
But I've been to
the Solomon Islands
00:08:09.57\00:08:12.19
and folks I tell
you quite candidly
00:08:12.20\00:08:15.35
it's not a place that
I would choose to live.
00:08:15.36\00:08:17.32
But they're
choosing to live there
00:08:18.47\00:08:20.56
and I can tell you why?
00:08:20.57\00:08:22.51
I won't tell you much now
00:08:22.52\00:08:24.27
because it's a
part of the interview
00:08:24.28\00:08:27.35
because I offer them job here.
00:08:27.36\00:08:31.08
And they just
said to me without,
00:08:31.09\00:08:34.89
you know, second guessing it,
00:08:34.90\00:08:38.24
God has called us to
work in the Solomon Islands
00:08:38.25\00:08:42.59
with this malaria.
00:08:42.60\00:08:45.42
And it's, its
hot, and it's steamy
00:08:45.43\00:08:51.32
and some times it is dangerous.
00:08:51.33\00:08:55.60
Who or what is a missionary?
00:08:55.61\00:08:59.31
A missionary is a
person on a mission.
00:08:59.32\00:09:02.90
Are you a missionary?
00:09:02.91\00:09:04.40
I bless your
heart, I'm a missionary.
00:09:06.08\00:09:08.44
I'm a person on a mission.
00:09:08.45\00:09:11.37
I'm a missionary to the
United States of America.
00:09:11.38\00:09:14.11
Folks, a missionary is a
person who has a mission.
00:09:16.52\00:09:21.54
Now, the word
missionary today is no longer
00:09:21.55\00:09:25.57
respected like it used to be
00:09:25.58\00:09:28.08
because of that ideology
00:09:28.09\00:09:31.09
which is called
political correctness.
00:09:31.10\00:09:34.21
People associate missionaries
with colonialism, so be it.
00:09:34.22\00:09:39.71
Jesus was a missionary
00:09:39.72\00:09:41.71
and all the great
saints of the Bible.
00:09:41.72\00:09:44.03
All of them were missionaries.
00:09:44.04\00:09:45.85
Come over here to
First Corinthians Chapter 12
00:09:45.86\00:09:48.63
and I'm going to give
you a little bit of theology
00:09:48.64\00:09:50.62
that may shake
you up a little bit,
00:09:50.63\00:09:52.91
I sincerely hope it will.
00:09:52.92\00:09:55.06
First Corinthians
Chapter 12 and I wanna say
00:09:55.07\00:09:59.12
this to all of my
friends in the ministry
00:09:59.13\00:10:02.43
who are watching this program.
00:10:02.44\00:10:04.68
I wanna say to you I guarantee--
00:10:04.69\00:10:06.71
well I shouldn't say that,
00:10:06.72\00:10:07.95
but I don't think that possibly
00:10:07.96\00:10:10.09
you've studied this text.
00:10:10.10\00:10:12.75
I think
possibly, you've never got
00:10:12.76\00:10:15.28
the implications of this text.
00:10:15.29\00:10:17.67
So, please have look at this.
00:10:17.68\00:10:19.41
First Corinthians Chapter 12
00:10:19.42\00:10:21.77
verse 27 and
onwards, have you got it.
00:10:21.78\00:10:24.08
"Now you are
the body of Christ,"
00:10:25.37\00:10:26.73
this is the church "each
one of you is a part of it."
00:10:26.74\00:10:30.36
You never guess it,
would you with some folks.
00:10:30.37\00:10:33.62
You never guess
it, you never guess
00:10:33.63\00:10:35.86
they were part of the church.
00:10:35.87\00:10:37.61
I say to people, what
would the church be like
00:10:37.62\00:10:40.51
if everybody was
like you brother.
00:10:40.52\00:10:43.86
If everybody was like you sister
00:10:43.87\00:10:46.19
and you came to
church at half past eleven,
00:10:46.20\00:10:48.25
what would the church be like.
00:10:48.26\00:10:50.03
What would be the church--
00:10:51.07\00:10:52.08
what would the church
be like, if everybody gave
00:10:52.09\00:10:55.03
the same amount in
offerings that you give.
00:10:55.04\00:10:57.77
You'll say possibly
there wouldn't be a church.
00:10:59.12\00:11:02.03
But notice what he says here.
00:11:02.04\00:11:03.65
"Now you are the body of Christ,
00:11:05.34\00:11:07.86
and each one of
you is a part of it.
00:11:07.87\00:11:11.92
And in the church God,"
00:11:11.93\00:11:14.03
Now notice the word God because
00:11:14.04\00:11:16.62
God is in charge of the
church not a bunch of people.
00:11:16.63\00:11:22.97
"And in the
church God is appointed
00:11:22.98\00:11:24.45
first of all
apostles, second prophets,
00:11:24.46\00:11:30.27
third teachers,
then workers of miracles,
00:11:30.28\00:11:35.71
also those
having gifts of healing,
00:11:35.72\00:11:40.35
those able to help others,
00:11:40.36\00:11:42.65
those with gifts
of administration,
00:11:42.66\00:11:48.39
and those speaking in
different kinds of tongues."
00:11:48.40\00:11:52.90
Now, this is not
heresy I ask you.
00:11:52.91\00:11:57.66
Are you and I prepared
to lay aside our traditions
00:11:57.67\00:12:03.03
and follow the
Bible, that's the question?
00:12:03.04\00:12:05.85
Some people say, we
don't have any tradition,
00:12:07.43\00:12:09.94
so this will test you.
00:12:09.95\00:12:12.38
The Bible says number seven,
00:12:12.39\00:12:15.34
administrators people
say no, no you've got wrong
00:12:15.35\00:12:18.56
number one
administrators, no number seven.
00:12:18.57\00:12:22.10
Administrators are important,
tremendously important,
00:12:23.10\00:12:26.82
because the
administrators are the people
00:12:26.83\00:12:30.74
who hold it together.
00:12:30.75\00:12:32.43
But firstly the
Bible and Bill Hybels
00:12:35.28\00:12:38.27
here in the United
States says in the church
00:12:38.28\00:12:40.57
not all leaders
are administrators,
00:12:40.58\00:12:43.08
and not all
administrators are leaders,
00:12:43.09\00:12:45.93
don't forget it administrator.
00:12:45.94\00:12:47.79
Now, the Bible says
God has set in the church
00:12:50.06\00:12:52.86
first of all, apostles.
00:12:52.87\00:12:57.74
Now, I'm a little
bit rusty on my Greek,
00:12:57.75\00:13:02.03
but whenever I have
an opportunity to show
00:13:02.04\00:13:04.49
that I once knew Greek
I take the opportunity.
00:13:04.50\00:13:10.07
Now, if I get it
wrong and if you're watching
00:13:10.08\00:13:12.44
on television and you see
it, you gonna write to me.
00:13:12.45\00:13:15.54
I will get Suzy
now to give it to me.
00:13:15.55\00:13:17.86
Apostolo, I
think that's the word.
00:13:21.61\00:13:25.50
Apostolo, it means to send.
00:13:27.26\00:13:32.72
A modern speech
translation says that this verse
00:13:34.05\00:13:38.54
should not be translated
apostles though it should be.
00:13:38.55\00:13:43.80
But what it really means
00:13:43.81\00:13:45.11
in today's
languages a missionary.
00:13:45.12\00:13:48.17
So, that translation says
00:13:49.64\00:13:51.43
God has put first in
the church missionaries.
00:13:51.44\00:13:55.40
In other words the greatest gift
00:13:55.41\00:13:57.36
that you can have
is to be a missionary,
00:13:57.37\00:14:02.19
a person who was send forth
by God to preach the gospel.
00:14:02.20\00:14:08.12
Now verse 29 says
"Are all apostles?" No
00:14:09.58\00:14:13.04
"Are all prophets? No
00:14:13.05\00:14:14.44
"Are all teachers?" No
00:14:14.45\00:14:15.46
"Do all work miracles? Do
all have gifts of healing?
00:14:15.47\00:14:18.81
Do all speak in
tongues? Do all interpret?
00:14:18.82\00:14:21.19
But eagerly desire
the greater gifts..."
00:14:21.20\00:14:24.83
Bible tells me, that they
are greater and lesser gifts.
00:14:27.22\00:14:31.09
The greatest gift my
friend is to be an apostle,
00:14:31.10\00:14:36.52
a missionary send forth
to preach the word of God.
00:14:36.53\00:14:40.00
Well, it's logical.
00:14:40.01\00:14:41.19
The most important work
00:14:42.46\00:14:43.57
in all the world is
leading souls to Christ.
00:14:43.58\00:14:47.20
The most important work
00:14:47.21\00:14:48.48
in the all the world
is to preach the Bible
00:14:48.49\00:14:51.54
and to preach
the gospel of Christ.
00:14:51.55\00:14:53.92
Now, some of you folks know.
00:14:56.41\00:14:57.58
I'm now been preaching
full time for 50 years,
00:14:59.74\00:15:06.61
50 years this month,
00:15:08.22\00:15:11.33
50 years without a break,
00:15:11.34\00:15:13.34
people say I can believe,
you seem to go on forever.
00:15:13.35\00:15:16.07
Listen to me people say
well why don't you retire,
00:15:17.29\00:15:22.69
because my friend either
I'm not paying to do what I do.
00:15:22.70\00:15:28.34
I would do it
whether I were paid or not,
00:15:28.35\00:15:33.33
because I have a
calling from God.
00:15:33.34\00:15:37.23
I know of some
ministers who say,
00:15:37.24\00:15:39.96
oh, I only got
another five years
00:15:39.97\00:15:42.93
and I'm on sustentation.
00:15:42.94\00:15:44.61
You are on it now brother.
00:15:44.62\00:15:46.28
You've never been called.
00:15:47.99\00:15:50.35
Now the Boehm's, I can
tell you have been called.
00:15:52.37\00:15:56.06
What is the mission?
00:15:56.07\00:15:57.13
It is in today's world
a controversy of concept.
00:15:57.14\00:16:01.34
It is politically incorrect
00:16:01.35\00:16:03.48
in today's liberal secular world
00:16:03.49\00:16:06.49
even
controversial in today's church
00:16:06.50\00:16:10.09
were people do not
want to be disturbed.
00:16:10.10\00:16:13.05
But you know the old saying.
00:16:13.06\00:16:14.87
I'm here by the grace of
God to comfort the afflicted
00:16:16.29\00:16:21.99
and to afflict the comfortable.
00:16:22.00\00:16:23.66
And there are too
many in the church
00:16:26.56\00:16:29.23
who want to live a
life of indolence and ease,
00:16:29.24\00:16:33.69
because they have
never been born again.
00:16:33.70\00:16:37.16
You're on the church roll,
00:16:39.15\00:16:40.76
but down here on this earth
00:16:40.77\00:16:42.16
but they're not on
the roll in heaven.
00:16:42.17\00:16:44.16
And my friend, if
you have to make a choice
00:16:44.17\00:16:47.14
you better have your
name on the roll in heaven.
00:16:47.15\00:16:49.63
Now, let me read you a
few text about the mission.
00:16:51.92\00:16:54.64
And I'm going to fly
and then we're gonna get
00:16:54.65\00:16:57.17
the Boehm's to come
here, God bless them.
00:16:57.18\00:16:59.75
We're so glad to have them here.
00:16:59.76\00:17:02.23
Come over here to
Ephesians 2 verses 1 to 8
00:17:02.24\00:17:05.20
and I want you to notice
these text and pray to God
00:17:05.21\00:17:08.63
and I say to all
my ministerial friends
00:17:08.64\00:17:11.75
and I say to my beloved
friends in administration.
00:17:11.76\00:17:17.38
I say to the world church,
00:17:17.39\00:17:19.54
please let us ask God
to help us to understand.
00:17:19.55\00:17:23.21
Because I feel that
00:17:24.47\00:17:25.57
many, many people
don't understand this.
00:17:25.58\00:17:27.17
First one "As for you,
00:17:28.03\00:17:29.16
you were dead in your
transgressions and sins."
00:17:29.17\00:17:32.36
If you are not saved by Christ,
00:17:32.37\00:17:35.05
the Bible says you're dead.
00:17:35.06\00:17:36.89
Now people say I
don't believe that,
00:17:38.40\00:17:39.80
I've had heaps of
people come to me and say,
00:17:39.81\00:17:41.79
no a person is saved
00:17:41.80\00:17:44.08
if he is sincere
in what he believes.
00:17:44.09\00:17:47.36
I've heard this
a thousand times.
00:17:48.44\00:17:50.76
A person is saved
because he sincere.
00:17:51.98\00:17:55.41
If he is a Hindu and
sincere, he is saved.
00:17:55.42\00:17:58.57
If he is a Muslim
and sincere, he is saved.
00:17:59.85\00:18:03.52
I want to tell you,
you and I cannot be saved
00:18:05.13\00:18:08.24
apart from the
Lord Jesus Christ.
00:18:08.25\00:18:10.70
And the Bible tells me that
without Christ, we are dead.
00:18:10.71\00:18:16.09
That's what the Bible says,
00:18:17.44\00:18:18.56
people say I don't
wanna believe this.
00:18:18.57\00:18:19.84
That's because you don't want
00:18:19.85\00:18:21.24
me to distribute your
comfort zone, I plan to do so.
00:18:21.25\00:18:25.13
"...in which you used to live
00:18:26.54\00:18:27.72
when you followed
the ways of this world
00:18:27.73\00:18:29.87
and of the ruler of
the kingdom of the air,
00:18:29.88\00:18:32.96
the spirit who is now at work
in those who are disobedient.
00:18:32.97\00:18:36.83
All of us also lived
among them at one time,
00:18:36.84\00:18:39.51
gratifying the
cravings of our sinful nature
00:18:39.52\00:18:42.70
and following its
desires and thoughts.
00:18:42.71\00:18:44.92
Like the rest, we were
by nature objects of wrath."
00:18:44.93\00:18:49.34
Somebody came to my great friend
00:18:50.62\00:18:52.39
Pastor Lloyd Grolimund,
00:18:52.40\00:18:54.86
he has taken
over my great church
00:18:54.87\00:18:57.39
still haven't
got over that Lloyd.
00:18:57.40\00:19:00.19
And they said to
him layoff the preaching
00:19:00.20\00:19:02.92
and go over to Africa and
feed the starving millions
00:19:02.93\00:19:06.76
and the Australian government
00:19:06.77\00:19:08.39
will give you some
money, they'll subsidize you.
00:19:08.40\00:19:12.69
He said I plan to
keep on preaching.
00:19:12.70\00:19:15.09
The man said, a
member of the church
00:19:15.10\00:19:17.05
no, no, no, it's more
important to feed people.
00:19:17.06\00:19:19.71
My friend you gonna-- I
believe in feeding people,
00:19:20.80\00:19:23.62
I fed more people
00:19:23.63\00:19:24.94
than perhaps
anybody in this church.
00:19:24.95\00:19:26.81
What's the use of feeding people
00:19:29.78\00:19:31.31
and filling up they
bellies, if they go to hell.
00:19:31.32\00:19:34.04
If you wanna save people
then you bring them Christ
00:19:37.62\00:19:41.24
and feed them at the same time,
00:19:42.63\00:19:44.17
but never give up
preaching the gospel.
00:19:44.18\00:19:47.62
The Bible says "...we were
by nature objects of wrath."
00:19:48.72\00:19:52.74
Without Christ we
are lost and doomed
00:19:52.75\00:19:55.73
and damned objects of wrath.
00:19:55.74\00:19:57.78
You say, I don't like that
word, well I never wrote it.
00:19:57.79\00:20:00.66
Verse 8 "For it is by
grace you have been saved,
00:20:01.82\00:20:04.79
through faith--and
that not from yourselves,
00:20:04.80\00:20:06.81
it is the gift of God..."
00:20:06.82\00:20:08.09
I'm save by the grace of
God and I accepted by faith.
00:20:08.10\00:20:12.27
And then verse 12
it describes the world.
00:20:14.80\00:20:21.44
"... remember that at that time
00:20:21.45\00:20:23.43
you were separate from Christ,
00:20:23.44\00:20:25.40
excluded from
citizenship in Israel
00:20:25.41\00:20:28.24
and foreigners to the
covenants of the promise,
00:20:28.25\00:20:31.03
without hope and
without God in the world."
00:20:31.04\00:20:34.54
I've had people look
me in the eye and say
00:20:34.55\00:20:36.40
I don't believe that.
00:20:36.41\00:20:37.65
Well, I believe the Bible
00:20:39.59\00:20:41.19
and the Bible
says that the people
00:20:42.51\00:20:44.54
and I don't care who they are
00:20:44.55\00:20:46.96
any person outside of
Christ is without hope
00:20:46.97\00:20:50.09
and without God in the
world and object of wrath.
00:20:50.10\00:20:56.18
And old friend of
mine of many, many years
00:20:56.19\00:20:58.67
said to me some years
ago, He heard me preach
00:20:58.68\00:21:01.61
and he didn't
like what I preached.
00:21:01.62\00:21:03.57
He said you believe this
00:21:03.58\00:21:05.52
because you are an evangelist.
00:21:05.53\00:21:07.76
I said no my
friend, I'm an evangelist
00:21:09.25\00:21:12.52
because I believe this,
00:21:12.53\00:21:15.35
that's the difference.
00:21:15.36\00:21:17.29
He said, oh no,
you just believe it
00:21:17.30\00:21:19.76
because that's what you
do, my friend come alive.
00:21:19.77\00:21:24.03
I'm an evangelist
because I believe this text,
00:21:26.98\00:21:31.67
otherwise I be
sitting over in Terranora,
00:21:31.68\00:21:35.17
watching my
beautiful grass grow.
00:21:35.18\00:21:38.45
Or sitting on the
beach at Coolangatta
00:21:38.46\00:21:40.95
whistling to the
seagulls, I believe it.
00:21:42.45\00:21:46.74
Look at Acts Chapter 4
and verse 12 that is why
00:21:46.75\00:21:49.83
we run evangelistic
campaigns around the world.
00:21:49.84\00:21:53.22
People say we don't
understand why you do it.
00:21:53.23\00:21:55.67
Well, it's because you
don't understand the gospel.
00:21:55.68\00:21:57.90
Acts 4 verse 12 "Salvation
is found in no one else,
00:21:59.00\00:22:02.68
for there is no other
name under heaven given to men
00:22:02.69\00:22:06.17
by which we must be
saved." It is Jesus only.
00:22:06.18\00:22:10.28
We're not gonna
turn up this text
00:22:11.72\00:22:13.38
but its found in Acts
16 and verse 30 to 34.
00:22:13.39\00:22:17.65
Those of you who are taking
notes the question is asked.
00:22:17.66\00:22:20.91
"What must I do to be
saved." What does it say?
00:22:20.92\00:22:25.60
What Paul said, "Belief
on the Lord Jesus Christ
00:22:26.82\00:22:32.47
and you will be saved".
00:22:32.48\00:22:35.26
I'm saved when I come to Christ
00:22:35.27\00:22:39.41
and I believe on His name.
00:22:39.42\00:22:42.07
And so I am saved.
00:22:43.09\00:22:44.43
And so when I run an
evangelistic campaign
00:22:44.44\00:22:47.45
my great driving force
is to get men and women
00:22:47.46\00:22:53.10
to believe on the
Lord Jesus Christ.
00:22:53.11\00:22:57.92
Come over here to the words
of our blessed Lord, Luke 24.
00:22:57.93\00:23:01.01
Matthew, Mark,
Luke Chapter 24 verse 45
00:23:02.35\00:23:06.89
"Then he opened their minds
00:23:06.90\00:23:08.17
so they could
understand the Scriptures."
00:23:08.18\00:23:10.22
That's what we need.
00:23:10.23\00:23:11.56
We need God to open our minds,
00:23:12.57\00:23:14.05
that's, may it's
what you need my friend.
00:23:14.06\00:23:16.65
So he opened their minds,
00:23:18.03\00:23:19.63
he's talking to church here,
00:23:19.64\00:23:20.97
to the church
members, the disciples.
00:23:20.98\00:23:22.77
"He told them 'This
is what it is written,
00:23:22.78\00:23:24.61
The Christ will
suffer and rise from the dead
00:23:24.62\00:23:27.26
and on the third
day, on the third day
00:23:27.27\00:23:30.17
and repentance and
forgiveness of sins
00:23:30.18\00:23:32.58
will be preached in
his name to all nations,
00:23:32.59\00:23:35.71
beginning at Jerusalem.
00:23:35.72\00:23:37.61
You are
witnesses of these things."
00:23:37.62\00:23:39.87
The Bible tells
me it is. Look at me.
00:23:39.88\00:23:43.89
It is the purpose of the church,
00:23:45.54\00:23:48.97
that the message of Christ
00:23:48.98\00:23:52.01
is a message of
a crucified Christ.
00:23:52.02\00:23:56.71
The message of a risen Christ.
00:23:56.72\00:23:59.84
The message of a
soon coming Christ.
00:23:59.85\00:24:02.75
This message will be
preached to the world
00:24:02.76\00:24:06.29
and people will repent at
their sins and come to God.
00:24:06.30\00:24:09.73
People say, that doesn't
sound like the church today,
00:24:10.74\00:24:13.01
no its not, at least
in this part of the world.
00:24:13.02\00:24:15.42
The church is not called to be
00:24:17.25\00:24:20.71
cozy semi-sophisticated club
00:24:22.23\00:24:26.46
of people who
don't wanna be disturb,
00:24:27.67\00:24:30.87
it is called to be missionaries.
00:24:30.88\00:24:35.54
And that is why, some
people find it incomprehensible.
00:24:38.49\00:24:42.36
They say why, why he is
going off to Russia again,
00:24:42.37\00:24:44.94
I say yeah that
will be number 41 times,
00:24:44.95\00:24:48.73
41st time when I go next.
00:24:50.02\00:24:52.32
This is why we
have gone to Russia
00:24:52.33\00:24:56.08
and seen thousands and thousands
00:24:56.09\00:24:59.68
even hundreds of
thousands come to Christ
00:24:59.69\00:25:02.43
while we gone to Ukraine,
its not over yet over there.
00:25:02.44\00:25:07.58
Why we've gone to
Ukraine and the Philippines,
00:25:07.59\00:25:11.26
and Africa, and India,
and the Solomon Islands,
00:25:11.27\00:25:15.68
these, look at
these crowds, they say
00:25:15.69\00:25:18.56
it doesn't work anymore,
00:25:18.57\00:25:20.55
it doesn't work for
them, does it? Look at India.
00:25:20.56\00:25:24.00
India, the Solomon Islands
00:25:27.07\00:25:30.57
and would happen here
in America and in Australia
00:25:31.92\00:25:36.23
if we put our money
where it ought to go
00:25:36.24\00:25:38.77
into the preaching
of the gospel of Christ
00:25:38.78\00:25:42.13
and if we had faith in God.
00:25:42.14\00:25:44.45
So, many people
say and that is why
00:25:44.46\00:25:46.86
we hired the Sydney Opera House
00:25:46.87\00:25:49.19
and ran meetings there
every Saturday afternoon
00:25:49.20\00:25:53.15
often in the
evenings for five months.
00:25:53.16\00:25:55.54
People said, it couldn't happen.
00:25:56.79\00:25:59.04
How do those
people expect to be saved
00:26:01.84\00:26:04.11
when they don't have any faith?
00:26:04.12\00:26:05.58
Our leader is an apostle,
00:26:05.59\00:26:09.60
an apostle is not
called to stop it happening,
00:26:09.61\00:26:13.41
he is called to make it
happen, never forget it.
00:26:15.70\00:26:20.07
Our leader gets it done,
00:26:20.08\00:26:22.23
he doesn't give
you a million reasons
00:26:22.24\00:26:24.03
why it doesn't have any money.
00:26:24.04\00:26:25.54
Jesus was talking to
Peter and the disciples
00:26:27.55\00:26:30.01
and He said these words
00:26:30.02\00:26:31.34
"I give you the
keys of the kingdom."
00:26:31.35\00:26:33.35
Whatever you bind on
earth will bound in heaven,
00:26:34.57\00:26:37.34
whatever you loose on
earth will be loosed in heaven."
00:26:37.35\00:26:39.99
On other occasion
our blessed Lord said
00:26:40.00\00:26:42.53
"You've taken away
the key of knowledge."
00:26:42.54\00:26:46.88
What are these keys?
The key is the gospel.
00:26:46.89\00:26:51.90
It is the
knowledge of the gospel
00:26:53.34\00:26:56.36
that opens the door to paradise.
00:26:56.37\00:26:59.86
And as I preach you today
00:27:02.11\00:27:03.75
I tell you in the name of God,
00:27:03.76\00:27:05.46
I have the keys of the kingdom.
00:27:05.47\00:27:07.19
And if you've been
called by God and everybody has,
00:27:08.39\00:27:11.27
if you've been
called to be a missionary.
00:27:11.28\00:27:13.88
Now what are you
doing with the keys.
00:27:15.16\00:27:17.03
I wanna be a Bible Christian.
00:27:18.51\00:27:20.59
If you believe this great truth,
00:27:21.61\00:27:23.92
then I'm telling today
00:27:23.93\00:27:26.04
and if you hope share
it you are a missionary.
00:27:26.05\00:27:31.08
And today it is my honor
00:27:33.28\00:27:36.41
because I consider it an honor
00:27:36.42\00:27:39.98
to have with us
some real missionaries.
00:27:39.99\00:27:45.12
Would you please welcome
00:27:46.74\00:27:48.52
from the Solomon Islands
00:27:50.22\00:27:52.69
Pastor & Mrs.
Boehm, Jacob and Brady.
00:27:52.70\00:27:57.45
Nice to see
you. Nice to see you.
00:28:05.16\00:28:08.46
How you're doing partner?
00:28:10.01\00:28:11.04
Good to see you. I'm
gonna use this microphone.
00:28:12.15\00:28:15.57
You see these two men over here,
00:28:18.03\00:28:19.51
they are the assistant mangers
00:28:20.77\00:28:23.91
of the Great
Solomon Islands campaign,
00:28:23.92\00:28:26.98
I'm telling you.
00:28:26.99\00:28:28.77
I put him on the payroll,
00:28:30.19\00:28:31.68
these two men are
the assistant mangers
00:28:32.72\00:28:36.99
and I told them
while they're here
00:28:37.00\00:28:39.59
there in charge of
everything they can see.
00:28:39.60\00:28:43.03
In charge of the television,
00:28:43.04\00:28:44.58
my assistant mangers,
but too bad for you guys
00:28:46.06\00:28:49.98
it's a Sabbath, because
today you're not gonna get paid.
00:28:49.99\00:28:53.68
Now, Pastor Boehm,
00:28:53.69\00:28:58.05
tell me a little bit
about the Solomon Islands.
00:28:58.06\00:29:03.41
Solomon Islands
is located four--
00:29:03.42\00:29:05.49
about four hours of
the coast of Australia
00:29:05.50\00:29:07.56
north east it's
hot and it's humid.
00:29:07.57\00:29:11.24
How did you like
living in the Solomons?
00:29:14.75\00:29:16.93
It's hot and it's humid.
00:29:16.94\00:29:18.84
It's a great place to live.
00:29:20.25\00:29:22.12
We have great friends there
that we've met this year end.
00:29:22.13\00:29:25.68
And as I said to
them before I left.
00:29:25.69\00:29:27.11
It's a place now that
it was spot I met before
00:29:27.12\00:29:30.19
and now this
family, church family today.
00:29:30.20\00:29:32.11
Mrs. Boehm, where
were you folks living
00:29:33.51\00:29:36.65
before you went to the Sol.
00:29:36.66\00:29:37.97
Now, you were a member
of my church at Wahroonga,
00:29:37.98\00:29:42.46
isn't that right?
00:29:42.47\00:29:44.06
Weren't they good
days, now wait on.
00:29:44.07\00:29:46.79
Where were you living before
you called to the Solomons.
00:29:46.80\00:29:49.93
We were in Tasmania right
down the bottom of Australia.
00:29:49.94\00:29:53.00
And of course the further
south you go in Australia,
00:29:53.01\00:29:55.36
its just a hotter
it gets, is that right.
00:29:55.37\00:29:58.00
No, it was
cold, very, very cold.
00:29:58.01\00:30:00.79
So, you got snow
down there on occasions
00:30:00.80\00:30:04.00
and but you called
to go to the Solomons.
00:30:04.01\00:30:08.85
Now, were the
Solomons always civilized?
00:30:08.86\00:30:16.01
Hasn't always been the case.
00:30:16.02\00:30:18.00
Back in the 1800s, early
1900s full of heathenism,
00:30:18.01\00:30:23.91
occult worship,
devil worship, cannibalism.
00:30:23.92\00:30:27.87
So it's been a
real transformation
00:30:27.88\00:30:29.08
that's taken place
over the last 100 years.
00:30:29.09\00:30:31.95
Tell me about the cannibalism?
00:30:31.96\00:30:34.73
Did these folks--
and we had, you know,
00:30:34.74\00:30:38.31
vast numbers of
them come to the meetings
00:30:38.32\00:30:40.66
and I thought are
beautiful people they are,
00:30:40.67\00:30:43.54
but their ancestors
only back a few years
00:30:43.55\00:30:46.25
were eating people?
00:30:46.26\00:30:47.84
I was reading through
the diaries of my grandfather
00:30:47.85\00:30:50.03
a number of--
back twelve months ago,
00:30:50.04\00:30:52.42
and he was recounting stories
00:30:52.43\00:30:53.55
where they would go
into a particular villages
00:30:53.56\00:30:55.75
and they would oil off
the calf muscles of them
00:30:55.76\00:30:59.72
as they walked in
00:30:59.73\00:31:01.19
because that was
the best part to eat.
00:31:01.20\00:31:02.51
I am not so sure,
I am going to accept
00:31:05.94\00:31:07.70
your invitation and go back.
00:31:07.71\00:31:10.55
That was one hundred years ago.
00:31:10.56\00:31:13.60
You're refereeing
to Pastor Eric Boehm.
00:31:13.61\00:31:15.95
And ladies and gentlemen,
00:31:15.96\00:31:17.57
I was the pastor of
a church in Australia
00:31:17.58\00:31:20.38
called the Gospel Church.
00:31:20.39\00:31:23.49
And while I ran
a campaign there,
00:31:23.50\00:31:25.92
and a person who
came to that campaign
00:31:25.93\00:31:28.29
and was like a father to me,
00:31:28.30\00:31:30.75
was Pastor Eric
Boehm, your grandfather.
00:31:30.76\00:31:36.60
What job did he
have back some years ago?
00:31:36.61\00:31:39.74
My grandfather was President
00:31:39.75\00:31:41.08
of the Bismarck
Solomon Union Mission,
00:31:41.09\00:31:43.56
which took into
account the Solomon Islands.
00:31:43.57\00:31:48.45
So you're really
walking in his footsteps? Yeah.
00:31:48.46\00:31:50.71
How do you feel about that?
00:31:50.72\00:31:52.21
Incredible honor to be
working there in that position,
00:31:52.22\00:31:55.62
and we hear stories now
00:31:55.63\00:31:56.83
of what my grandfather
did in that particular place.
00:31:56.84\00:32:00.18
People he met,
people that they knew him,
00:32:00.19\00:32:02.71
it's a real joy
to be working there.
00:32:02.72\00:32:04.83
I've met lots and lots of people
00:32:04.84\00:32:06.35
down through the
years, millions I guess.
00:32:06.36\00:32:09.19
I don't think I've
met a better family
00:32:09.20\00:32:10.99
than the Boehm family;
your grandfather and his wife,
00:32:11.00\00:32:16.28
I ran this campaign.
00:32:16.29\00:32:18.98
We had four
sessions a day, most days.
00:32:18.99\00:32:22.54
He came to every meeting
00:32:22.55\00:32:24.19
and he was there
for me and supported me.
00:32:24.20\00:32:27.03
Now, Carol, you come
00:32:27.04\00:32:29.70
from the great Wahroonga Church
00:32:29.71\00:32:33.80
where I used to
be the pastor, yeah.
00:32:33.81\00:32:36.15
Now Lloyd
Grolimund is the pastor.
00:32:36.16\00:32:39.52
In the church we have
Ray and Lola Anderson.
00:32:39.53\00:32:42.57
You were an
Anderson? That's right.
00:32:42.58\00:32:43.85
Okay. Tell us
about your grandfather.
00:32:43.86\00:32:47.31
Pastor J. D. Anderson
and his wife Guinevere,
00:32:47.32\00:32:49.62
they were over in the
Solomon Islands as well.
00:32:49.63\00:32:52.45
He was President
for the Solomon Islands
00:32:52.46\00:32:55.06
many, many years ago.
00:32:55.07\00:32:56.97
So I grew up with stories
of crocodiles in villages
00:32:56.98\00:33:01.08
and miracles of God
working among these villages
00:33:01.09\00:33:03.79
and to go and spend
time with these people
00:33:03.80\00:33:06.67
that they love so dearly
is such an incredible honor.
00:33:06.68\00:33:10.29
It's an honor for
us to have you here,
00:33:10.30\00:33:11.82
I can tell you this.
00:33:11.83\00:33:15.07
When we got off a
plane, as you know,
00:33:15.08\00:33:18.24
I was sort of born in a suit.
00:33:18.25\00:33:22.11
So when I got off the
plain in the Solomons,
00:33:22.12\00:33:24.02
I was dressed up in a dark suit.
00:33:24.03\00:33:26.26
You said that it's
not gonna last too long.
00:33:26.27\00:33:32.01
We found it very hot.
00:33:32.02\00:33:34.83
We got in our
exercise at 7 in the morning
00:33:34.84\00:33:37.12
because after 8 O'clock
the heat beats down upon you.
00:33:37.13\00:33:41.14
You feel it's gonna
drive you into the ground.
00:33:41.15\00:33:46.04
There are mosquitoes
and there is malaria,
00:33:46.05\00:33:49.25
and if you get
malaria, you get very sick.
00:33:49.26\00:33:53.14
Do you take-- we
took malarial tablets
00:33:53.15\00:33:55.30
because we're there
for only couple of weeks.
00:33:55.31\00:33:57.48
Do you take malarial tablets?
00:33:57.49\00:33:59.74
We started on it but
we kept forgetting them,
00:33:59.75\00:34:02.03
so we've all come off them now.
00:34:02.04\00:34:05.96
So really we don't want
to make this melodramatic.
00:34:05.97\00:34:10.59
When you become a
missionary in these places,
00:34:10.60\00:34:16.32
you put you life in
a hazardous situation,
00:34:16.33\00:34:20.17
so you really got to trust God.
00:34:20.18\00:34:22.83
And this young man here, Brady,
00:34:22.84\00:34:24.94
he is going to--
then we're gonna get on
00:34:24.95\00:34:26.82
to what we say
we're gonna talk about.
00:34:26.83\00:34:28.65
So, Brady, I want to
come over here, buddy.
00:34:28.66\00:34:31.12
Brady, you've been
there for almost a year
00:34:31.13\00:34:35.48
and the people over
there speak a type of English
00:34:35.49\00:34:39.46
that is called Pidgin,
00:34:39.47\00:34:40.50
they can understand
the English I'm speaking.
00:34:40.51\00:34:44.57
Have you learned Pidgin?
00:34:44.58\00:34:46.16
And can you say
something to me in Pidgin?
00:34:46.17\00:34:48.67
Hmm! Well, listen.
Can you say it again
00:34:54.29\00:34:56.25
and just give me a little
time to put this together,
00:34:56.26\00:34:59.11
and say it loud
into the microphone
00:34:59.12\00:35:01.77
and that I want all
folks here to concentrate
00:35:01.78\00:35:03.74
on what this man is saying,
00:35:03.75\00:35:05.20
the assistant manager
of the Honiara Campaign.
00:35:05.21\00:35:07.71
Yes, he is assistant manager.
00:35:07.72\00:35:10.23
Okay, what is that mean?
00:35:15.54\00:35:17.47
Thank you for--I'm
very happy to meet you
00:35:17.48\00:35:19.43
and thank you for
inviting me to your church.
00:35:19.44\00:35:22.99
Well, that's really sweet.
I'm glad that you are here.
00:35:23.00\00:35:27.01
Now Pastor Boehm,
tell us about the meetings.
00:35:27.02\00:35:32.59
We went into this place
00:35:32.60\00:35:33.97
and you got a team
of Solomon Islanders
00:35:33.98\00:35:36.95
and they didn't do a good job.
00:35:36.96\00:35:40.11
I say this, we've run
campaigns around the world.
00:35:40.12\00:35:43.81
We've never worked
with such a great team.
00:35:43.82\00:35:47.64
We're personally proud of you
00:35:47.65\00:35:49.24
because you put
together such an amazing team.
00:35:49.25\00:35:53.07
I want to say to the
folks watching in Australia,
00:35:53.08\00:35:55.23
you ought to
support these people,
00:35:55.24\00:35:58.13
you ought to
send them offerings,
00:35:58.14\00:36:00.09
you ought to support them
00:36:00.10\00:36:01.28
because they're
ambassadors for Christ,
00:36:01.29\00:36:03.35
they're real missionaries.
00:36:03.36\00:36:05.38
So we--you hired for us
00:36:05.39\00:36:08.80
and we paid the cost
this great outdoor setting,
00:36:08.81\00:36:11.42
the National Stadium.
00:36:11.43\00:36:13.35
And then we had to
build these great screens
00:36:13.36\00:36:17.87
and put up towers
for the projectors
00:36:17.88\00:36:20.63
that we flew out
to Solomons air cargo,
00:36:20.64\00:36:24.66
$30,000 to fly that stuff out,
00:36:24.67\00:36:27.72
and so you put
all--got all these stuff going.
00:36:27.73\00:36:31.04
Tell us about the
meetings from your prospective.
00:36:31.05\00:36:37.49
As you know, I only just
arrived there in the Solomons.
00:36:37.50\00:36:40.67
You gave me the description
00:36:40.68\00:36:41.94
of what you needed and wanted.
00:36:41.95\00:36:44.17
And I began thinking,
00:36:44.18\00:36:45.19
"Well, Lord, how
we gonna do this?"
00:36:45.20\00:36:47.72
Big screens, how we
gonna put this together but--
00:36:47.73\00:36:50.45
Thirty foot screens.
Yeah, its huge screens.
00:36:50.46\00:36:53.20
Nothing like
Honiara had seen before.
00:36:53.21\00:36:56.50
And so we started bringing
this team of people together
00:36:56.51\00:36:58.83
and the Lord has
really blessed us
00:36:58.84\00:37:00.39
with a
fantastic team over there,
00:37:00.40\00:37:02.02
we've builders,
carpenters, handyman,
00:37:02.03\00:37:06.74
and they started
building all of these things
00:37:06.75\00:37:08.45
according to the
designs that had been given.
00:37:08.46\00:37:10.95
And it wasn't too long
00:37:10.96\00:37:12.59
that the things started to go up
00:37:12.60\00:37:13.95
and take shape and were
they ready for your arrival.
00:37:13.96\00:37:18.10
Tell us about from
your prospective, Carol,
00:37:18.11\00:37:21.94
who was baptized during my stay?
00:37:21.95\00:37:24.03
What church was
again, Wahroonga Church?
00:37:24.04\00:37:25.72
That's right. Now, tell us
00:37:25.73\00:37:28.50
from your
prospective about the meetings.
00:37:28.51\00:37:31.73
It blew our mind, Pastor Carter,
00:37:31.74\00:37:33.52
we just were not prepared.
00:37:33.53\00:37:34.65
You could not prepare yourself
00:37:34.66\00:37:35.95
for what we went through.
00:37:35.96\00:37:37.83
We knew there
would be big crowds.
00:37:37.84\00:37:39.92
We knew that the screens we saw,
00:37:39.93\00:37:42.22
the screens going
up and things on that
00:37:42.23\00:37:43.42
so that alone
was exciting enough,
00:37:43.43\00:37:45.86
but to turn up there and see--
00:37:45.87\00:37:49.16
I've never seen
30,000 people come
00:37:49.17\00:37:51.10
to hear the word of God before.
00:37:51.11\00:37:52.78
I've never seen
responses to altar calls
00:37:52.79\00:37:55.98
and it just completely and
it was life changing for us,
00:37:55.99\00:38:00.01
not only them, for us as well.
00:38:00.02\00:38:02.86
Tell us about the altar
calls from your prospective.
00:38:02.87\00:38:04.79
You are the
president of the mission there,
00:38:04.80\00:38:07.51
not only an
administrator but an apostle.
00:38:07.52\00:38:11.96
Tell us about the altar calls
00:38:11.97\00:38:15.10
when I invited the
people to come down to front.
00:38:15.11\00:38:18.56
That was
extraordinary to witness,
00:38:18.57\00:38:19.88
they were just start
off with trickle of people
00:38:19.89\00:38:22.31
start to coming down the front
00:38:22.32\00:38:23.75
and then that trickle
started into a flood of people
00:38:23.76\00:38:26.41
that they came through of 1,000,
00:38:26.42\00:38:28.49
2,000, 3,000, 4,000 people,
00:38:28.50\00:38:30.50
they would come
down to the front.
00:38:30.51\00:38:32.56
It was interesting one night,
00:38:32.57\00:38:33.63
there was I was standing
up back of the soccer field,
00:38:33.64\00:38:37.60
and I witnessed
there was four young men
00:38:37.61\00:38:40.63
that were
responding or were in a line
00:38:40.64\00:38:45.69
and as they-you made the appeal
00:38:45.70\00:38:48.25
for them to come
forward, it was a long way down
00:38:48.26\00:38:50.23
the back of the soccer stadium,
00:38:50.24\00:38:51.30
so they didn't
come down to the front
00:38:51.31\00:38:52.99
but there was one of
them that put the hand up
00:38:53.00\00:38:55.20
and responded to the call
00:38:55.21\00:38:57.10
and I watched
the other three boys
00:38:57.11\00:38:59.27
as they watched their friend
commit his life to the Lord.
00:38:59.28\00:39:05.29
And there was a
little bit of ribbing,
00:39:05.30\00:39:06.64
there was little
bit of, you know,
00:39:06.65\00:39:08.34
jiving as to what took place,
00:39:08.35\00:39:10.55
but this young man continued
to have his hand raised
00:39:10.56\00:39:13.17
in the
commitment to follow Jesus,
00:39:13.18\00:39:14.65
and it just gave that
was one so small story
00:39:14.66\00:39:17.35
what I saw of those thousands
00:39:17.36\00:39:19.44
that they came
forward each night
00:39:19.45\00:39:20.72
to commit their lives to Christ.
00:39:20.73\00:39:22.72
I've never spoken
to such a good audience
00:39:22.73\00:39:26.23
or better
audience I should say this.
00:39:26.24\00:39:28.90
The people were
totally attentive.
00:39:28.91\00:39:35.02
You couldn't hear
sound even the cry of a baby,
00:39:35.03\00:39:37.74
and there must have
been thousands of babies.
00:39:37.75\00:39:40.20
Carol, do you remember the night
00:39:40.21\00:39:42.58
when I preached down
there was a double session,
00:39:42.59\00:39:45.87
we had two sessions that night.
00:39:45.88\00:39:47.93
And the first one was
on "State of the Dead"
00:39:47.94\00:39:50.45
and the second
meeting was on "Spiritism".
00:39:50.46\00:39:54.11
Remember that
meeting? What happened?
00:39:54.12\00:39:56.36
Well, you warned
us at the beginning
00:39:56.37\00:39:57.63
of that meeting to
be ready for anything.
00:39:57.64\00:40:01.14
We knew that there was
spiritual beings not happy
00:40:01.15\00:40:04.38
that you were about
to preach the message
00:40:04.39\00:40:05.85
that you are
presenting and so we were,
00:40:05.86\00:40:08.16
we batten down the hatches
00:40:08.17\00:40:09.36
reading for
pretty much anything,
00:40:09.37\00:40:11.14
but out of all the nights
rain came half way through
00:40:11.15\00:40:15.57
and people started moving,
00:40:15.58\00:40:17.50
started standing
as the rain came.
00:40:17.51\00:40:19.41
But you
encouraged them, you know,
00:40:19.42\00:40:21.62
this is just temporary,
00:40:21.63\00:40:22.81
this is someone who is not happy
00:40:22.82\00:40:24.22
to hear this
message and so they stayed,
00:40:24.23\00:40:26.88
and I've never
seen 33,000 people
00:40:26.89\00:40:30.14
stood there in the rain
00:40:30.15\00:40:31.34
and listened to that
really powerful message.
00:40:31.35\00:40:35.18
That was the power of God.
00:40:35.19\00:40:37.37
I remember, after
the Saul was saying,
00:40:37.38\00:40:41.95
Sharon saying, I announced,
00:40:41.96\00:40:44.30
now the second
part of the program
00:40:44.31\00:40:45.69
is on "Spiritism" and
then the rain started to hit.
00:40:45.70\00:40:48.87
And I got, I got soaking wet
00:40:48.88\00:40:51.62
and there was water everywhere.
00:40:51.63\00:40:54.30
Somebody told me later
00:40:54.31\00:40:55.38
that may be 50 to 100
people got up and left,
00:40:55.39\00:40:58.65
mothers, but never
left the place all together;
00:40:58.66\00:41:01.71
they went where they
could get some shelter.
00:41:01.72\00:41:03.82
But the rest of
the people sat there,
00:41:03.83\00:41:08.82
never moved and we
got soaking wet together.
00:41:08.83\00:41:13.60
It was a demonstration
of the power of God
00:41:13.61\00:41:16.28
and when we had that altar call
00:41:16.29\00:41:17.62
that was our
greatest altar call.
00:41:17.63\00:41:18.98
We had about
10,000 people come forward
00:41:18.99\00:41:21.92
for Christ to
renounce the works of darkness.
00:41:21.93\00:41:27.12
Now, Jacob, you were the,
00:41:27.13\00:41:30.29
one of my assistant managers.
00:41:30.30\00:41:31.89
I had few managers
00:41:31.90\00:41:33.51
Pastor Hacker
was a main manager.
00:41:33.52\00:41:36.45
And then you guys were
the assistant managers.
00:41:36.46\00:41:40.58
What did you do?
00:41:40.59\00:41:41.96
Well, I would help assist Daniel
00:41:41.97\00:41:44.64
and Carlos in the PowerPoints.
00:41:44.65\00:41:46.32
I would come and met with them
00:41:46.33\00:41:48.25
and you at about
2.30 each afternoon,
00:41:48.26\00:41:50.93
and we would set them up
00:41:50.94\00:41:52.01
and make sure
they're all running properly.
00:41:52.02\00:41:53.83
When we arrived at the stadium,
00:41:53.84\00:41:55.13
I would take the
covers of the projectors
00:41:55.14\00:41:58.77
and then start them
up and then I would help
00:41:58.78\00:42:00.62
run the
PowerPoints during that program
00:42:00.63\00:42:04.37
and then I would packed
them up at the end of the day.
00:42:04.38\00:42:07.42
I never think these guys don't
know a lot about computers.
00:42:07.43\00:42:11.80
This young guy here, he knows
00:42:11.81\00:42:13.83
even more than I do
about computers folks.
00:42:13.84\00:42:16.62
No. An absolutely, absolute wiz
00:42:16.63\00:42:20.44
with Daniel and Carlos
working the joint projectors
00:42:20.45\00:42:24.46
on the computers
and that was his job.
00:42:24.47\00:42:27.04
Now Brady, I didn't
check up on you so much
00:42:27.05\00:42:29.12
but what you were doing?
00:42:29.13\00:42:31.21
Every night, after the
singers would come out,
00:42:31.22\00:42:33.62
I would get out all
the microphones out so,
00:42:33.63\00:42:36.75
when you would walk on,
00:42:36.76\00:42:37.77
you wouldn't chip
over any microphones.
00:42:37.78\00:42:40.44
So you were the guy
who kept me on my feet,
00:42:40.45\00:42:42.04
really, weren't you?
00:42:42.05\00:42:43.09
Yeah. Well, you
earned your wages,
00:42:43.10\00:42:46.05
and remember
while you guys are here
00:42:46.06\00:42:48.86
the assistant-- we make you
00:42:48.87\00:42:50.68
the managers of
this whole program.
00:42:50.69\00:42:52.95
You are in charge
of the Carter Report,
00:42:52.96\00:42:55.17
also raising the money.
00:42:55.18\00:42:56.79
Now since we have left,
what's happened people say,
00:42:56.80\00:43:03.19
you know, you run
these big campaigns
00:43:03.20\00:43:05.28
but when you go
on everything fizzles
00:43:05.29\00:43:07.52
and it dies but let's back up,
00:43:07.53\00:43:11.18
what about the baptism?
Tell us about the baptism
00:43:11.19\00:43:14.43
because one day I went
00:43:14.44\00:43:17.81
outside my air condition room
00:43:17.82\00:43:22.44
on the mission compound
00:43:22.45\00:43:23.91
and one of our pastors came over
00:43:23.92\00:43:25.89
and he said, we're
gonna have the baptism
00:43:25.90\00:43:28.28
in this river which is
only a few hundred yards away,
00:43:28.29\00:43:31.37
and there are
crocodiles in that river.
00:43:31.38\00:43:33.39
I said, not a problem to me
00:43:33.40\00:43:34.88
'cause I never go on the water,
00:43:34.89\00:43:36.58
I stand on the shore and I,
00:43:36.59\00:43:38.20
you know, put my arm up
and everybody follows me.
00:43:38.21\00:43:40.70
But tell us about the baptism,
00:43:40.71\00:43:43.30
we had a great
Sabbath morning meeting.
00:43:43.31\00:43:45.28
Tell us about the
Sabbath morning meeting,
00:43:45.29\00:43:47.16
and then tell us
about the baptism,
00:43:47.17\00:43:49.72
when you baptized your son.
00:43:49.73\00:43:52.69
We had the Sabbath meeting
00:43:52.70\00:43:54.20
about twelve--ten to
twelve thousand people
00:43:54.21\00:43:56.44
for the morning service.
00:43:56.45\00:43:57.55
How many in church?
00:43:57.56\00:43:58.93
Ten to twelve thousand.
00:43:58.94\00:44:00.49
And then from there we
had a great time of worship.
00:44:00.50\00:44:02.48
Betikama choir, a
hundred voice choirs
00:44:02.49\00:44:04.59
sang a great song.
Beautiful, beautiful moved us.
00:44:04.60\00:44:08.08
Some of our folks
actually stood up, you know.
00:44:08.09\00:44:10.87
We were really blessed.
00:44:10.88\00:44:12.12
And from the program we
headed down to the Lunga river,
00:44:12.13\00:44:15.44
and the Lunga
river we've driven over
00:44:15.45\00:44:16.90
that many times and that's
where our local car washes.
00:44:16.91\00:44:20.51
And from that
point, we--just the crowds
00:44:20.52\00:44:23.89
went to the banks,
the rivers, the shores,
00:44:23.90\00:44:26.52
everywhere they
could find a position
00:44:26.53\00:44:29.02
and then we
conducted the baptism
00:44:29.03\00:44:30.21
of 524 precious saints.
00:44:30.22\00:44:32.68
And they have been
baptism since then.
00:44:32.69\00:44:35.42
There is a passage
in the book of Acts
00:44:35.43\00:44:36.86
that you haven't
referred to this morning.
00:44:36.87\00:44:38.76
And it says, "And the Lord
added to their number daily
00:44:38.77\00:44:41.73
those who are being
saved." and that is continue
00:44:41.74\00:44:43.46
to take place
after the campaign.
00:44:43.47\00:44:45.75
We've had baptisms
right around the Islands.
00:44:45.76\00:44:48.20
We had people they were hold up
00:44:48.21\00:44:49.39
their mobile phones to
the speaker towers and--
00:44:49.40\00:44:52.37
Listen to this. Listen to this.
00:44:52.38\00:44:54.84
Some people from
far away Islands,
00:44:54.85\00:44:56.67
they traveled may be two,
three, four days to arrive
00:44:56.68\00:44:59.12
and left their family
at their home village.
00:44:59.13\00:45:02.90
And so they would record
00:45:02.91\00:45:04.45
the message on the mobile phone
00:45:04.46\00:45:06.52
and they send that
back to their own village.
00:45:06.53\00:45:09.07
In fact, there was
one particular occasion
00:45:09.08\00:45:10.62
where you were talking on heaven
00:45:10.63\00:45:12.29
and apostle actually heard this.
00:45:12.30\00:45:14.37
You were talking on heaven
and you took a short pause
00:45:14.38\00:45:17.50
during the--to take a breath,
00:45:17.51\00:45:19.86
and there was another
voice that came in and said,
00:45:19.87\00:45:23.28
there is nothing there.
00:45:23.29\00:45:24.91
And this was
Satan using this medium
00:45:24.92\00:45:27.01
to try and discourage,
try to destroy the message
00:45:27.02\00:45:30.51
that you've been
speaking on that night.
00:45:30.52\00:45:32.34
And that was
something that was being record
00:45:32.35\00:45:34.26
to play to the
villagers back home.
00:45:34.27\00:45:37.47
So extraordinary
what people were doing,
00:45:37.48\00:45:39.95
not only traveling
to get to the meetings
00:45:39.96\00:45:41.78
and listen to the program
00:45:41.79\00:45:43.87
but what they would do to
send the message back home.
00:45:43.88\00:45:46.27
And so now the
message in the baptisms
00:45:46.28\00:45:48.43
sort of continue to happens
00:45:48.44\00:45:49.61
since the particular program.
00:45:49.62\00:45:51.33
There are
villagers that are ringing me
00:45:51.34\00:45:54.18
and saying, pastor, we
now in Adventist Church,
00:45:54.19\00:45:57.06
we want to be
included in all the things
00:45:57.07\00:45:59.89
that the church does.
00:45:59.90\00:46:01.13
And so that
passage in the book of Acts
00:46:01.14\00:46:03.30
is truly a
passage that describes
00:46:03.31\00:46:06.81
what is still taking
place in the Solomon Islands.
00:46:06.82\00:46:10.03
This is extraordinary.
00:46:10.04\00:46:12.54
I was told, I
heard it on the grapevine
00:46:18.38\00:46:21.23
that some witch
doctors have been baptized?
00:46:21.24\00:46:25.78
There was a baptism
about two, three Sabbaths ago,
00:46:25.79\00:46:28.63
and we had one of
our lay members come
00:46:28.64\00:46:30.96
and share with us
the story of village area
00:46:30.97\00:46:33.86
that we had
originally been sent from
00:46:33.87\00:46:36.40
because of the
devil priest over there
00:46:36.41\00:46:39.27
and the devil
priest is too focused
00:46:39.28\00:46:41.50
on heathenism practices,
00:46:41.51\00:46:44.31
ancestor worship, and so forth.
00:46:44.32\00:46:47.01
And these two devil
priests had a lot of control
00:46:47.02\00:46:50.11
and sway within
the local village.
00:46:50.12\00:46:52.00
And just
recently, we were invited
00:46:52.01\00:46:53.24
to go back into that village
00:46:53.25\00:46:54.94
and there was a
baptism of sixty precious souls
00:46:54.95\00:46:58.68
and two of them were
these former devil priests.
00:46:58.69\00:47:01.23
Hallelujah. Praise
God. Praise God. Hallelujah.
00:47:01.24\00:47:06.78
Now I want to say to the folks
00:47:06.79\00:47:09.89
who are watching this
telecast in Australia,
00:47:09.90\00:47:11.88
around the world, we
got to do something folks.
00:47:11.89\00:47:16.69
We can't just hear
this and talk about this,
00:47:16.70\00:47:19.30
but we need to
pray for the outpouring
00:47:19.31\00:47:22.26
of the spirit of God upon
our own homeland churches.
00:47:22.27\00:47:26.09
But I'm asking you
to send me offerings
00:47:26.10\00:47:30.40
for the Solomon Islands
because you want to build
00:47:30.41\00:47:34.14
by the grace of
God- And radio station.
00:47:34.15\00:47:37.82
You got faith brother,
you ought to be on our team.
00:47:37.83\00:47:40.99
Now folks, we want to build
00:47:41.00\00:47:43.73
a radio station in
the Solomon Islands.
00:47:43.74\00:47:46.14
I'm going to tell
you a story, you know,
00:47:46.15\00:47:47.70
we've got pretty and
nice here, haven't we?
00:47:47.71\00:47:49.41
We know, we've got
a beautiful church.
00:47:49.42\00:47:51.52
It's a great country.
00:47:51.53\00:47:53.64
I offer you folks a job.
00:47:53.65\00:47:56.39
I say, come over,
be part of our team
00:47:56.40\00:48:00.17
and you turn me down cold, why?
00:48:00.18\00:48:05.83
I've been up to your home.
00:48:05.84\00:48:07.69
There is an air
conditioner on the wall,
00:48:07.70\00:48:09.92
inside it's terribly hot
as I could soar on there.
00:48:09.93\00:48:14.31
And the air
conditioner is not running.
00:48:14.32\00:48:16.40
I said to them,
why haven't you got
00:48:16.41\00:48:18.54
the air conditioner on?
00:48:18.55\00:48:19.59
They said, we
can't effort to run it.
00:48:19.60\00:48:22.11
We want to put that
money into saving souls.
00:48:22.12\00:48:27.48
Why didn't you
accept their invitation?
00:48:27.49\00:48:33.73
Very good
question. Look, God call us
00:48:33.74\00:48:37.31
to the Solomon's Hill
Tennis when it's time to leave
00:48:37.32\00:48:40.14
and it's just not yet.
00:48:40.15\00:48:44.33
Folks, these people
are soldiers of the Christ
00:48:44.34\00:48:50.92
and they have
seen the power of God.
00:48:50.93\00:48:54.07
And I want to say
00:48:54.08\00:48:55.07
to the people around the world,
00:48:55.08\00:48:57.31
the best thing we
could have done this year
00:48:57.32\00:49:01.59
was to go to the Solomon Islands
00:49:01.60\00:49:03.97
because that
place glory be to Jesus
00:49:03.98\00:49:07.15
will never be the same again.
00:49:07.16\00:49:10.17
Thank you, Jesus.
Praise God. God bless you.
00:49:10.18\00:49:14.15
Thank you. We're proud of you.
00:49:14.16\00:49:16.41
Thank you assistant manager.
00:49:16.42\00:49:19.00
Thank you senior
assistant manager.
00:49:19.01\00:49:20.90
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
00:49:20.91\00:49:27.96
I could have told
you other stories.
00:49:27.97\00:49:30.58
I could have got
Pastor Boehm to tell you
00:49:30.59\00:49:32.68
how the witch doctors
00:49:32.69\00:49:34.96
would go down to the ocean,
00:49:34.97\00:49:40.91
and the witch doctors
would call the crocodiles.
00:49:40.92\00:49:44.65
They would call the sharks,
00:49:44.66\00:49:46.53
and they would
call the great snakes
00:49:46.54\00:49:48.22
to come down from the mountains.
00:49:48.23\00:49:50.83
Here the devil is too faced,
00:49:50.84\00:49:55.13
over there he is barefaced.
00:49:55.14\00:49:58.91
Remember the night
when I was preaching,
00:49:58.92\00:50:02.70
I'll never forget it
when I felt a hand here.
00:50:02.71\00:50:06.17
Hand here in my shoulder.
00:50:06.18\00:50:08.54
I was sure it was
one of my team members
00:50:08.55\00:50:11.02
come to warn me about something.
00:50:11.03\00:50:14.03
Those countries you
quickly come to the realization
00:50:14.04\00:50:17.41
that we wrestle not
against flesh and blood
00:50:17.42\00:50:20.75
that we are in the
midst of the great controversy
00:50:20.76\00:50:23.38
between Christ and Satan.
00:50:23.39\00:50:26.27
On one
occasion, the Apostle Paul
00:50:26.28\00:50:28.71
was talking to the king Agrippa,
00:50:28.72\00:50:31.58
and after he described his work
00:50:31.59\00:50:33.36
and why he was true to
the truth of the Messiah
00:50:33.37\00:50:39.24
and how he'd been
persecuted by the unbelievers.
00:50:39.25\00:50:43.08
The Apostle Paul
said, I was not disobedient
00:50:43.09\00:50:50.43
to the heavenly vision
00:50:50.44\00:50:53.41
May God help us
not to be disobedient
00:50:53.42\00:50:57.94
to the heavenly vision
but to be missionaries?
00:50:57.95\00:51:02.30
I've gone to the valleys
00:51:02.31\00:51:03.94
of the Waldenses
in the North of Italy.
00:51:03.95\00:51:09.32
I've gone to those
places there were once drenched
00:51:09.33\00:51:13.26
in the blood of
the saints of God.
00:51:13.27\00:51:17.36
In the
Waldenses, who are people,
00:51:17.37\00:51:19.53
who stood out
against the great apostasy
00:51:19.54\00:51:22.97
of the Dark Ages, had a saying,
00:51:22.98\00:51:25.75
and they wrote it
up in their churches,
00:51:25.76\00:51:27.58
"I've seen it"
written in their language
00:51:27.59\00:51:30.50
over the pulpits
of their churches.
00:51:30.51\00:51:33.25
Listen to it, never forget it.
00:51:33.26\00:51:37.54
"Ye shall be missionaries
00:51:37.55\00:51:43.23
or ye shall be nothing."
00:51:43.24\00:51:50.16
Think about it.
00:51:50.17\00:51:51.86
"Ye shall be missionaries
00:51:51.87\00:51:55.25
or ye shall be nothing."
00:51:55.26\00:51:58.50
I said you in the
name of the Christ
00:51:58.51\00:52:00.95
to send me to
preach by the grace of God
00:52:00.96\00:52:06.48
become an apostle for Christ,
00:52:06.49\00:52:10.47
and be a
missionary for Jesus sake.
00:52:10.48\00:52:17.67
I want you to kneel as we pray.
00:52:17.68\00:52:20.54
Where you blessed here
today folks? Amen. Amen.
00:52:28.69\00:52:31.54
Dear, Father, we thank you
00:52:35.68\00:52:38.70
for the blessed
gospel of Christ.
00:52:38.71\00:52:41.40
How blind most of us are.
00:52:41.41\00:52:44.99
We read out Bibles for
we've scales on our eyes.
00:52:45.00\00:52:51.13
We don't want
anyone even you God
00:52:51.14\00:52:54.34
to disturb us in
our comfort zone,
00:52:54.35\00:52:58.85
but we thank you today,
00:52:58.86\00:53:00.08
there are people
like Pastor & Mrs. Boehm
00:53:00.09\00:53:02.59
and those two fine young men
00:53:02.60\00:53:05.00
who are missionaries for Christ.
00:53:05.01\00:53:08.76
In the place where
they can get malaria,
00:53:08.77\00:53:12.38
where their lives can
be taken through violence,
00:53:12.39\00:53:17.28
but they are there
because God has called them.
00:53:17.29\00:53:19.54
We pray today that You'll
bless Pastor & Mrs. Boehm.
00:53:19.55\00:53:23.64
Bless Brady and bless Jacob.
00:53:23.65\00:53:26.17
Put Your arms around this family
00:53:26.18\00:53:29.14
and keep them from all harm.
00:53:29.15\00:53:32.43
And dear, Father,
speak to the people
00:53:32.44\00:53:35.10
who are watching this telecast
00:53:35.11\00:53:36.92
that somehow You'll
get into their hearts,
00:53:36.93\00:53:41.80
and that they will
decide to become missionaries.
00:53:41.81\00:53:45.06
People with the
mission and may they support
00:53:45.07\00:53:47.69
this great work
with their offerings,
00:53:47.70\00:53:51.11
so souls can be saved.
00:53:51.12\00:53:53.74
And Father, we pray Your
blessing upon our church.
00:53:53.75\00:54:00.41
Open our eyes dear Lord.
00:54:00.42\00:54:03.50
Fill us with the spirit of God.
00:54:03.51\00:54:07.33
And might it be that we
will say with the Apostle Paul,
00:54:07.34\00:54:11.73
I was not disobedient
to the heavenly vision.
00:54:11.74\00:54:18.43
And so our Father
today on our knees,
00:54:18.44\00:54:21.62
we pray for the
covering of the blood of Christ.
00:54:21.63\00:54:26.81
Bless the work of
God in the Solomons.
00:54:26.82\00:54:29.50
Bless the work of
God around the world,
00:54:29.51\00:54:32.42
in the United
States and Australia
00:54:32.43\00:54:35.48
and bless us here today,
00:54:35.49\00:54:36.83
cover us with the blood of Jesus
00:54:36.84\00:54:39.76
and put Your
spirit in our hearts
00:54:39.77\00:54:42.95
and change our
lives that we will live
00:54:42.96\00:54:45.17
from hence forth
for the glory of God.
00:54:45.18\00:54:49.02
So we worship You, we bless You,
00:54:49.03\00:54:51.81
we praise You, we thank You,
00:54:51.82\00:54:54.51
we give You
glory in Jesus' name,
00:54:54.52\00:54:59.91
amen, and amen. Amen and amen.
00:54:59.92\00:55:03.95
The Carter report is a
self supporting ministry
00:55:05.67\00:55:09.08
with the global mission.
00:55:09.09\00:55:10.82
We believe that the
most important thing
00:55:10.83\00:55:12.87
that we can do in
this tremendous hour
00:55:12.88\00:55:15.66
is to tell people
about the Lord Jesus Christ
00:55:15.67\00:55:18.92
because Jesus
said, "I am the way,
00:55:18.93\00:55:21.61
the truth and life."
00:55:21.62\00:55:23.39
We do not believe that
this is business as usual.
00:55:23.40\00:55:27.37
We believe that we are
living in the closing hours,
00:55:27.38\00:55:30.76
in the history of this world.
00:55:30.77\00:55:32.48
Bless your heart friend.
00:55:32.49\00:55:33.87
Look at the signs
00:55:33.88\00:55:35.04
that are being
fulfilled almost everyday.
00:55:35.05\00:55:37.78
The signs of times
are shouting at us,
00:55:37.79\00:55:40.93
and they're saying,
Jesus is coming soon.
00:55:40.94\00:55:44.22
I want you to be my
partner in global mission.
00:55:44.23\00:55:47.82
I want you to be
my partner in helping

about the coming of Jesus.

I want you to be my
partner in the preaching
00:55:53.48\00:55:56.57
of the distinctive truths
of the Three Angels' messages.
