>> Hello and thank you
00:00:00.90\00:00:02.03
for joining us on
00:00:02.03\00:00:03.53
It Is Written Canada.
00:00:03.53\00:00:05.17
A few years back, explorer and
00:00:05.17\00:00:06.80
journalist, Dan Buettner,
00:00:06.80\00:00:08.90
wrote an article for National
00:00:08.90\00:00:10.84
Geographic in which he spoke
00:00:10.84\00:00:12.84
about Marge Jetton, a nurse
00:00:12.84\00:00:16.14
from Loma Linda, California,
00:00:16.14\00:00:17.85
who, at the age of 104, was
00:00:17.85\00:00:20.88
still lifting weights, riding
00:00:20.88\00:00:23.18
a stationary bike six to eight
00:00:23.18\00:00:25.12
miles a day for six days a
00:00:25.12\00:00:27.19
week, and driving her own car
00:00:27.19\00:00:30.03
and pumping her own gas.
00:00:30.03\00:00:32.39
>> Marge was very active and
00:00:32.39\00:00:34.40
she had a clear sense of her
00:00:34.40\00:00:35.93
purpose in life.
00:00:35.93\00:00:38.10
She said that she found her
00:00:38.10\00:00:39.73
purpose by focusing on
00:00:39.73\00:00:41.64
helping others.
00:00:41.64\00:00:43.51
Marge had a strong sense of
00:00:43.51\00:00:45.47
community and she loved to
00:00:45.47\00:00:47.18
volunteer to help others.
00:00:47.18\00:00:49.88
>> According to Buettner, one
00:00:49.88\00:00:52.18
of the characteristics of the
00:00:52.18\00:00:54.18
longest- and healthiest-living
00:00:54.18\00:00:56.42
people in the world, is that
00:00:56.42\00:00:58.15
they have a clear sense of
00:00:58.15\00:01:00.76
their purpose in life
00:01:00.76\00:01:03.02
and a vocabulary for
00:01:03.02\00:01:05.13
articulating that purpose.
00:01:05.13\00:01:07.03
He cited how scientists had
00:01:07.03\00:01:08.83
found that just having a clear
00:01:08.83\00:01:10.87
sense of purpose adds at least
00:01:10.87\00:01:13.00
another seven years
00:01:13.00\00:01:14.90
of life expectancy.
00:01:14.90\00:01:16.57
>> May I ask you
00:01:16.57\00:01:17.91
a personal question?
00:01:17.91\00:01:19.87
Do you know your
00:01:19.87\00:01:21.71
purpose in life?
00:01:21.71\00:01:23.28
When you do know your purpose,
00:01:24.61\00:01:26.48
you feel confident with a
00:01:26.48\00:01:28.35
strong sense of direction.
00:01:28.35\00:01:30.85
>> The Bible says,
00:01:30.85\00:01:33.42
>> According to this passage,
00:01:43.37\00:01:45.37
you were created for one
00:01:45.37\00:01:47.10
purpose: to do good deeds,
00:01:47.10\00:01:50.14
acts of kindness, which will
00:01:50.14\00:01:51.91
bless others.
00:01:51.91\00:01:54.18
Research shows that people are
00:01:54.18\00:01:56.14
happiest and healthiest when
00:01:56.14\00:01:58.25
they are helping others.
00:01:58.25\00:02:00.52
>> This is your purpose
00:02:00.52\00:02:03.05
and it is how you were
00:02:03.05\00:02:04.99
designed to live.
00:02:04.99\00:02:07.19
Today on It Is Written Canada
00:02:07.19\00:02:08.79
you will meet Bob and
00:02:08.79\00:02:10.16
Christina Martin, immigrants
00:02:10.16\00:02:11.99
to Canada from Bulgaria, who
00:02:11.99\00:02:14.20
found their purpose in helping
00:02:14.20\00:02:16.13
others by starting an online
00:02:16.13\00:02:18.93
radio ministry, despite the
00:02:18.93\00:02:20.67
fact that they knew nothing
00:02:20.67\00:02:22.87
about how to set up an online
00:02:22.87\00:02:25.44
radio station.
00:02:25.44\00:02:27.11
>> So in a moment we will
00:02:27.11\00:02:28.78
visit with Bob and Christina
00:02:28.78\00:02:30.38
to find out why and how they
00:02:30.38\00:02:32.85
were able to start this online
00:02:32.85\00:02:34.72
ministry which is now listened
00:02:34.72\00:02:37.12
to by thousands of people
00:02:37.12\00:02:38.99
around the world.
00:02:38.99\00:02:41.09

00:02:42.89\00:03:21.06
>> Welcome again to
00:03:26.87\00:03:28.17
It Is Written Canada.
00:03:28.17\00:03:29.34
We are on location here in
00:03:29.34\00:03:30.61
Calgary, Alberta with Bob and
00:03:30.61\00:03:32.57
Christina Martin who came as
00:03:32.57\00:03:35.61
immigrants to Canada from
00:03:35.61\00:03:37.31
Bulgaria and in 2008, Bob had
00:03:37.31\00:03:42.22
the idea with Christina of
00:03:42.22\00:03:44.55
opening up an online radio
00:03:44.55\00:03:47.19
ministry, despite the fact
00:03:47.19\00:03:48.59
that they didn't know how to
00:03:48.59\00:03:49.96
set up such a ministry.
00:03:49.96\00:03:51.89
They started in their basement
00:03:51.89\00:03:54.00
and they learned all that they
00:03:54.00\00:03:55.53
could and Bob was struggling
00:03:55.53\00:03:57.50
because he didn't even
00:03:57.50\00:03:58.67
speak English.
00:03:58.67\00:04:00.74
>> Christina and Bob, welcome
00:04:01.67\00:04:03.44
to It Is Written Canada.
00:04:03.44\00:04:06.04
[CHRISTINA] Thank you for
00:04:06.04\00:04:06.78
having us on the program.
00:04:06.78\00:04:07.98
>> So your online program is
00:04:08.61\00:04:11.28
called Radio Bible Light and
00:04:11.28\00:04:13.52
it broadcasts Christian
00:04:13.52\00:04:15.15
messages and music 24/7,
00:04:15.15\00:04:18.99
in English, Bulgarian,
00:04:18.99\00:04:21.62
Spanish, and you've even had
00:04:21.62\00:04:24.09
some programs in Chinese.
00:04:24.09\00:04:27.30
So can you take us back and
00:04:27.30\00:04:29.60
let us know what motivated you
00:04:29.60\00:04:32.60
to start this online ministry?
00:04:32.60\00:04:34.67
>> My love for the radio
00:04:34.67\00:04:36.40
started twenty-five years
00:04:36.40\00:04:37.77
before I was born because my
00:04:37.77\00:04:40.71
mom, when she was a young
00:04:40.71\00:04:42.94
girl, she liked to listen to
00:04:42.94\00:04:45.25
Christian radio from Ecuador
00:04:45.25\00:04:47.58
and they offered free Bibles
00:04:47.58\00:04:50.19
and she requested, but in this
00:04:50.19\00:04:52.99
time when my grandfather
00:04:52.99\00:04:54.82
understood what she did, he
00:04:54.82\00:04:57.76
started to worry because at
00:04:57.76\00:04:59.63
this time in Bulgaria we have
00:04:59.63\00:05:01.10
communism government, it's not
00:05:01.10\00:05:02.70
allowed to have a Bible.
00:05:02.70\00:05:04.60
And he expected to have
00:05:04.60\00:05:06.67
problems when the Bible came
00:05:06.67\00:05:09.47
in Bulgaria, but two months
00:05:09.47\00:05:11.27
later when the Bible came,
00:05:11.27\00:05:15.41
nothing happened.
00:05:15.41\00:05:16.98
Bible is coming, bringing
00:05:16.98\00:05:18.71
Bible, that's the first Bible
00:05:18.71\00:05:20.62
for my mom and she's so happy,
00:05:20.62\00:05:23.42
this is my [Bulgarian surname]
00:05:23.42\00:05:26.99
from Mom's side.
00:05:26.99\00:05:28.59
But from my Father's side, we
00:05:28.59\00:05:30.39
have another amazing story.
00:05:30.39\00:05:32.83
In Ukraine, when communism,
00:05:34.46\00:05:39.53
1960, 1970, the government
00:05:39.53\00:05:43.41
invited pastors from all areas
00:05:43.41\00:05:46.68
to come for a conference, but
00:05:46.68\00:05:48.44
this "conference" is not
00:05:48.44\00:05:49.78
really a conference because
00:05:49.78\00:05:52.01
when pastors go inside, they
00:05:52.01\00:05:54.02
lock the door and said, "OK,"
00:05:54.02\00:05:57.39
"only one way to go out:"
00:05:57.39\00:05:59.85
"you leave your Bibles here"
00:05:59.85\00:06:01.62
"and never go preaching"
00:06:01.62\00:06:02.92
"again."
00:06:02.92\00:06:04.46
They left all the Bibles
00:06:04.46\00:06:05.93
there, but don't stop
00:06:05.93\00:06:07.93
preaching.
00:06:07.93\00:06:09.60
My father hears this story and
00:06:09.60\00:06:13.54
organized to send Russian
00:06:13.54\00:06:19.61
Bibles to Ukraine and he used
00:06:19.61\00:06:23.61
his friend who has a
00:06:23.61\00:06:25.41
military submarine and sent
00:06:25.41\00:06:29.35
lots of Russian Bibles to
00:06:29.35\00:06:30.95
Odesa, from Varna to Odesa.
00:06:30.95\00:06:33.02
Because it's military, at the
00:06:33.02\00:06:35.36
border, nobody checks what
00:06:35.36\00:06:36.62
they bring, what they have and
00:06:36.62\00:06:38.06
they put lots of Bibles from
00:06:38.06\00:06:39.63
Bulgaria, Russian Bibles from
00:06:39.63\00:06:41.00
Bulgaria to the Ukraine.
00:06:41.00\00:06:43.40
And after, when everything is
00:06:43.40\00:06:45.43
done, these pastors who
00:06:45.43\00:06:47.67
received the Russian Bibles in
00:06:47.67\00:06:49.30
Ukraine, they send like
00:06:49.30\00:06:51.07
appreciation, my father, big
00:06:51.07\00:06:53.54
radio, Ural-5, that's my
00:06:53.54\00:06:56.81
first love.
00:06:56.81\00:06:58.71
This radio we can enjoy every
00:06:58.71\00:07:00.55
night, we listened to
00:07:00.55\00:07:02.55
different Christian radio
00:07:02.55\00:07:04.09
stations around the world.
00:07:04.09\00:07:05.55
And that's what I grew up
00:07:05.55\00:07:07.19
with, this big radio, Russian
00:07:07.19\00:07:08.92
radio, Ural-5.
00:07:08.92\00:07:10.83
>> And then you started as a
00:07:10.83\00:07:13.50
teenager, using a transmission
00:07:13.50\00:07:16.56
to your neighbourhood.
00:07:16.56\00:07:18.60
>> Yes, when I was a teenager,
00:07:18.60\00:07:21.37
I had the dream to help my
00:07:21.37\00:07:24.17
friends who live around me to
00:07:24.17\00:07:27.54
share my-- what I believe.
00:07:27.54\00:07:30.01
Because it's communism,
00:07:30.01\00:07:32.38
I cannot invite them in the
00:07:32.38\00:07:34.28
church, our church, but I have
00:07:34.28\00:07:36.18
a passion to share my belief.
00:07:36.18\00:07:40.59
And I lived in Varna, that's
00:07:40.59\00:07:44.16
the big city, with many
00:07:44.16\00:07:46.33
residential, high-level
00:07:46.33\00:07:47.86
buildings, like
00:07:47.86\00:07:49.43
19-floor buildings.
00:07:49.43\00:07:51.83
And what I do when I go home
00:07:51.83\00:07:55.47
from church, I have a small
00:07:55.47\00:07:57.81
cassette recorder, I put it in
00:07:57.81\00:08:00.04
front of the pastor when he's
00:08:00.04\00:08:01.61
preaching, I'm recording.
00:08:01.61\00:08:03.45
When I go home, I go to the
00:08:03.45\00:08:05.48
roof and my father bought for
00:08:05.48\00:08:08.45
me a small transmitter and
00:08:08.45\00:08:12.49
what I do, I play the
00:08:12.49\00:08:14.56
cassette, what I have
00:08:14.56\00:08:16.46
recorded, put the transmitter,
00:08:16.46\00:08:19.06
put antenna, and share what we
00:08:19.06\00:08:22.53
have in the church.
00:08:22.53\00:08:24.17
But before this happens, I go
00:08:24.17\00:08:26.84
around to everyone's building
00:08:26.84\00:08:28.47
and put a small label on the
00:08:28.47\00:08:29.84
door, "on this time and this"
00:08:29.84\00:08:31.54
"day we have this topic."
00:08:31.54\00:08:34.61
And people go and watch it and
00:08:34.61\00:08:37.01
see, "Oh, FM, yeah,"
00:08:37.01\00:08:38.81
"frequency, OK," and I make
00:08:38.81\00:08:40.78
this for a long time and I
00:08:40.78\00:08:43.59
feel happy when somebody who
00:08:43.59\00:08:45.42
knows me says, "Hey, Bob,"
00:08:45.42\00:08:47.09
"you know, I listen on the"
00:08:47.09\00:08:48.62
"radio some story, like what"
00:08:48.62\00:08:50.23
"you believe."
00:08:50.23\00:08:52.16
I am so happy, I think I reach
00:08:52.16\00:08:54.00
the sky.
00:08:54.00\00:08:56.06
And this is my first step in
00:08:56.06\00:08:58.27
the radio.
00:08:58.27\00:08:59.60
>> M-hmm, and then you came to
00:08:59.60\00:09:02.40
the United States.
00:09:02.40\00:09:04.54
Do you wanna share with us
00:09:04.54\00:09:05.74
about that?
00:09:05.74\00:09:06.61
>> Ah, yes, that's an amazing
00:09:06.61\00:09:09.28
moment in my life because on
00:09:09.28\00:09:11.45
September 11, when I came in
00:09:11.45\00:09:14.12
2001 in New York City, and
00:09:14.12\00:09:16.95
September 11 is a very strong
00:09:16.95\00:09:21.02
moment in my life because in
00:09:21.02\00:09:23.53
the morning of September 11, I
00:09:23.53\00:09:25.36
read Psalm 91.
00:09:25.36\00:09:28.56
I know this verse very well,
00:09:28.56\00:09:30.93
but this morning this message
00:09:30.93\00:09:33.84
goes exactly inside my brain.
00:09:33.84\00:09:36.64
I remember and go outside
00:09:36.64\00:09:39.27
looking for work and I see
00:09:39.27\00:09:42.14
lots of fire departments going
00:09:42.14\00:09:44.01
around, people talking about
00:09:44.01\00:09:45.98
something, I don't know what
00:09:45.98\00:09:48.32
happened because they're
00:09:48.32\00:09:49.58
talking only English, nobody
00:09:49.58\00:09:51.19
speaks Bulgarian around me and
00:09:51.19\00:09:54.69
I go-- I have to go to Wall
00:09:54.69\00:09:57.43
Street in Manhattan.
00:09:57.43\00:09:59.49
I have not lots of money, I
00:09:59.49\00:10:01.46
have money, but not too much
00:10:01.46\00:10:04.50
and I think if I spend it, one
00:10:04.50\00:10:06.74
dollar for subway to go to
00:10:06.74\00:10:08.54
Manhattan, if I'm working
00:10:08.54\00:10:10.57
today, it's good, because I
00:10:10.57\00:10:11.97
will take it, but if I don't
00:10:11.97\00:10:14.24
find work, I lose one dollar,
00:10:14.24\00:10:16.01
that means I'm walking
00:10:16.01\00:10:17.41
on the bridge.
00:10:17.41\00:10:18.51
And I go to Williamsburg
00:10:18.51\00:10:20.82
Bridge and I'm walking and I
00:10:20.82\00:10:22.62
see one big building, I don't
00:10:22.62\00:10:25.55
know what kind of building
00:10:25.55\00:10:26.86
this is, but one big building
00:10:26.86\00:10:28.36
is on fire and after a few
00:10:28.36\00:10:30.59
minutes, I find it's another
00:10:30.59\00:10:32.06
building on fire, too.
00:10:32.06\00:10:33.80
I say, "What's going on in"
00:10:33.80\00:10:35.16
"New York?"
00:10:35.16\00:10:36.60
And I'm walking, and I see
00:10:37.73\00:10:41.44
people jumping from the
00:10:41.44\00:10:43.00
windows and I say, "What is"
00:10:43.00\00:10:44.27
"going on here?"
00:10:44.27\00:10:45.84
And after a few minutes, I see
00:10:45.84\00:10:48.14
the building is dropping down,
00:10:48.14\00:10:49.68
full down, all down,
00:10:49.68\00:10:51.08
bum-bum-bum, like dominoes.
00:10:51.08\00:10:52.71
I say, "What, I have to call"
00:10:52.71\00:10:54.22
"Christina, maybe this will"
00:10:54.22\00:10:56.18
"be going in the news."
00:10:56.18\00:10:58.82
>> He was there around, but he
00:10:58.82\00:11:00.66
didn't know what's happening
00:11:00.66\00:11:02.42
at the moment and I was at
00:11:02.42\00:11:04.59
home, like with my daughter,
00:11:04.59\00:11:06.80
and I usually don't watch news
00:11:06.80\00:11:09.06
and people start ringing on
00:11:09.06\00:11:10.57
the phone and the phone was
00:11:10.57\00:11:12.13
like crazy,
00:11:12.13\00:11:13.44
"How is Bob doing? Is he OK?"
00:11:13.44\00:11:15.70
"He's OK, like, he's looking"
00:11:15.70\00:11:17.61
"for a job, he will be fine."
00:11:17.61\00:11:19.87
And they said, "No, you"
00:11:19.87\00:11:21.28
"didn't like hear on the"
00:11:21.28\00:11:22.81
"news? Like, turn on your TV."
00:11:22.81\00:11:25.25
And, like, I turned on the TV
00:11:25.25\00:11:26.98
and I saw what's happening and
00:11:26.98\00:11:28.55
he called and I told him
00:11:28.55\00:11:30.65
what's happening around him.
00:11:30.65\00:11:32.49
>> Yeah, she explained
00:11:32.49\00:11:33.32
what I see.
00:11:33.32\00:11:34.29
(laughs)
00:11:34.29\00:11:35.59
And this time was important
00:11:35.59\00:11:38.49
for me because in this moment
00:11:38.49\00:11:40.03
I understand if take a train
00:11:40.03\00:11:42.13
to go there, and this time I
00:11:42.13\00:11:44.17
have to be in a metro station
00:11:44.17\00:11:45.73
and this building falls down
00:11:45.73\00:11:47.44
and I will stay there forever.
00:11:47.44\00:11:50.04
But God gave me a chance, I'm
00:11:50.04\00:11:52.47
walking and He keeps my life,
00:11:52.47\00:11:54.81
He gave me an opportunity to
00:11:54.81\00:11:58.58
do something and I understand,
00:11:58.58\00:12:00.65
if God helped me to survive in
00:12:00.65\00:12:02.55
this situation, maybe I have
00:12:02.55\00:12:05.89
some mission in this life.
00:12:05.89\00:12:09.46
And that's what I start
00:12:09.46\00:12:11.09
thinking, what I have to do.
00:12:11.09\00:12:12.89
>> And then we realized that
00:12:14.30\00:12:16.60
New York is not the place for
00:12:16.60\00:12:18.73
our family to live, it's not
00:12:18.73\00:12:20.47
the best place, like--
00:12:20.47\00:12:22.57
And we decided to immigrate to
00:12:22.57\00:12:24.07
Canada and a couple years
00:12:24.07\00:12:26.51
later, we came to Canada,
00:12:26.51\00:12:28.58
straight to Calgary, and we
00:12:28.58\00:12:30.65
started our life as a family
00:12:30.65\00:12:32.41
here in 2005, yeah.
00:12:32.41\00:12:35.55
>> And, Bob, you don't speak
00:12:35.55\00:12:38.25
English, so was that a problem
00:12:38.25\00:12:40.29
for you?
00:12:40.29\00:12:41.52
>> No, not problem for me,
00:12:41.52\00:12:42.66
problem for people around me.
00:12:42.66\00:12:44.26
(laughter)
00:12:44.26\00:12:45.93
>> So in our church back in
00:12:45.93\00:12:47.60
Bulgaria, he was an elder, he
00:12:47.60\00:12:50.53
was an evangelistic meetings
00:12:50.53\00:12:52.57
organizer, he was a member of
00:12:52.57\00:12:54.30
the Union, had a house that
00:12:54.30\00:12:56.44
was publishing books and
00:12:56.44\00:12:58.44
magazines and so he was
00:12:58.44\00:13:00.14
extremely active.
00:13:00.14\00:13:01.94
And coming to Calgary, without
00:13:01.94\00:13:05.61
knowing any language, he felt
00:13:05.61\00:13:08.62
frustrated, depressed, lonely,
00:13:08.62\00:13:11.75
that he cannot do anything
00:13:11.75\00:13:14.09
about God, like, he felt
00:13:14.09\00:13:16.59
strange doing nothing.
00:13:16.59\00:13:19.06
>> But I'm blessed in this
00:13:19.06\00:13:20.43
time because I know God
00:13:20.43\00:13:22.23
understands Bulgarian language
00:13:22.23\00:13:24.00
and I start to pray.
00:13:24.00\00:13:25.57
I pray because I feel I have
00:13:25.57\00:13:28.57
to do something, I want to do
00:13:28.57\00:13:30.31
something, but I don't know
00:13:30.31\00:13:31.81
what I can do because all the
00:13:31.81\00:13:34.31
people around me speak only
00:13:34.31\00:13:36.48
English and I pray, "God show"
00:13:36.48\00:13:38.65
"me what I have to do, what"
00:13:38.65\00:13:40.12
"I have to do, I want to do"
00:13:40.12\00:13:41.55
"something, but I really"
00:13:41.55\00:13:43.45
"don't have any idea."
00:13:43.45\00:13:45.25
And one morning, I hear a
00:13:45.25\00:13:47.62
voice: "Radio, radio, radio,"
00:13:47.62\00:13:51.66
three times.
00:13:51.66\00:13:53.23
I said, "Uh oh, what happened?"
00:13:53.23\00:13:54.83
"See you, Christina sleeping,"
00:13:54.83\00:13:56.56
"nobody in the room," but I
00:13:56.56\00:13:58.30
hear this voice.
00:13:58.30\00:13:59.77
I say, "Oh, that's my answer."
00:13:59.77\00:14:02.04
"Yes, we got it!"
00:14:02.04\00:14:03.30
"We have to do radio."
00:14:03.30\00:14:05.34
And next step, I have no idea
00:14:05.34\00:14:08.04
how to do radio, internet
00:14:08.04\00:14:09.48
radio, no idea.
00:14:09.48\00:14:11.61
I Google it and I have lots of
00:14:11.61\00:14:13.72
pages on how we have to do
00:14:13.72\00:14:16.32
internet radio.
00:14:16.32\00:14:18.62
>> So running an online radio
00:14:18.62\00:14:20.79
ministry can be expensive, how
00:14:20.79\00:14:22.59
did you afford that, how did
00:14:22.59\00:14:24.43
you get the funding to make it
00:14:24.43\00:14:25.79
happen then keep it going?
00:14:25.79\00:14:28.00
>> We never ask people to help
00:14:28.00\00:14:30.27
us with money, never.
00:14:30.27\00:14:32.27
If we need to buy something,
00:14:32.27\00:14:34.47
we just pray and God provided
00:14:34.47\00:14:36.94
people in an amazing way.
00:14:36.94\00:14:39.77
>> So on Friday, like when he
00:14:39.77\00:14:42.08
usually broadcasts, he's all
00:14:42.08\00:14:44.08
day in the church, he's like
00:14:44.08\00:14:46.08
from 8:00 to 8:00 here and I
00:14:46.08\00:14:48.62
am at home, cooking, preparing
00:14:48.62\00:14:50.05
for the Sabbath when he comes,
00:14:50.05\00:14:51.49
like I ask him, like,
00:14:51.49\00:14:53.29
"How was it? How did it go?"
00:14:53.29\00:14:55.06
And he came, like, very grumpy
00:14:55.06\00:14:56.59
and he said, "The computer"
00:14:56.59\00:14:58.03
"broke, we couldn't broadcast,"
00:14:58.03\00:15:00.33
"the pastor from UK couldn't"
00:15:00.33\00:15:01.80
"preach."
00:15:01.80\00:15:03.40
And so he told me and he said,
00:15:03.40\00:15:06.47
"OK, we'll figure out"
00:15:06.47\00:15:08.04
"something, so don't"
00:15:08.04\00:15:09.17
"worry now."
00:15:09.17\00:15:10.47
And the pastor shared with his
00:15:10.47\00:15:13.17
church, London in the UK, and
00:15:13.17\00:15:16.58
they prayed, they prayed for
00:15:16.58\00:15:18.25
the problem, we prayed here
00:15:18.25\00:15:19.58
in Canada.
00:15:19.58\00:15:20.65
And on Monday, he got a call
00:15:20.65\00:15:22.98
from a member of our church,
00:15:22.98\00:15:25.75
"Hey, how are you doing?"
00:15:25.75\00:15:27.92
"You know, I wanna meet you"
00:15:27.92\00:15:29.56
"in front of the store," and
00:15:29.56\00:15:30.66
he mentioned the store like
00:15:30.66\00:15:32.89
for technical equipment and...
00:15:32.89\00:15:34.56
And Bob was very surprised and
00:15:35.60\00:15:37.80
he said, "OK, I'll meet"
00:15:37.80\00:15:38.87
"you there!"
00:15:38.87\00:15:40.10
And he said, like, "Do you"
00:15:40.10\00:15:41.57
"need anything for the radio?"
00:15:41.57\00:15:42.94
He said, "I need a computer."
00:15:42.94\00:15:44.81
He said, "Oh, how much"
00:15:44.81\00:15:46.01
"is that?"
00:15:46.01\00:15:47.18
So they figured out the price
00:15:47.18\00:15:49.41
and he says, "Oh, I wasn't"
00:15:49.41\00:15:50.85
"prepared, I need to talk to"
00:15:50.85\00:15:52.15
"my wife."
00:15:52.15\00:15:53.15
So they spoke on the phone and
00:15:53.15\00:15:55.12
Bob was worried, he said,
00:15:55.12\00:15:56.45
"You know, don't forget if"
00:15:56.45\00:15:57.45
"that's like it will be a"
00:15:57.45\00:15:58.59
"problem for your family..."
00:15:58.59\00:16:00.56
and he said, "No, no!"
00:16:00.56\00:16:02.16
"We're just discussing that"
00:16:02.16\00:16:03.26
"maybe we should buy a"
00:16:03.26\00:16:04.49
"warranty because it's very"
00:16:04.49\00:16:05.56
"expensive."
00:16:05.56\00:16:07.13
So he bought the computer,
00:16:07.13\00:16:09.76
Bob got it on Wednesday...
00:16:09.76\00:16:11.47
[BOB] Wednesday, yes.
00:16:11.47\00:16:12.43
...and on Friday he was
00:16:12.43\00:16:13.34
broadcasting.
00:16:13.34\00:16:14.30
[BOB] Again.
00:16:14.30\00:16:15.47
>> He shared with the church
00:16:15.47\00:16:17.17
that prayed and they were like
00:16:17.17\00:16:20.34
amazed and in two weeks after
00:16:20.34\00:16:23.61
that, we saw the same member
00:16:23.61\00:16:26.11
in the church and Bob asked
00:16:26.11\00:16:27.82
him, "Why did you call me"
00:16:27.82\00:16:29.22
"this Monday?"
00:16:29.22\00:16:30.59
He said, "Oh, I was thinking"
00:16:30.59\00:16:31.62
"a long time ago, but, you"
00:16:31.62\00:16:33.12
"know, never have time and"
00:16:33.12\00:16:34.42
"I remember now."
00:16:34.42\00:16:36.09
And then Bob told him the
00:16:36.09\00:16:37.56
story and he started crying.
00:16:37.56\00:16:39.96
"How come God can use people"
00:16:39.96\00:16:42.23
"like-- a person like me?"
00:16:42.23\00:16:44.27
"Like, I don't understand."
00:16:44.27\00:16:46.37
>> One more story.
00:16:46.37\00:16:48.64
Sunday, I'm driving on the
00:16:48.64\00:16:50.27
highway and my-- the phone's
00:16:50.27\00:16:51.81
ringing, I think,
00:16:51.81\00:16:52.77
"Maybe pick up, maybe not"
00:16:52.77\00:16:54.01
"yet," but I open it and
00:16:54.01\00:16:55.34
start talking.
00:16:55.34\00:16:56.61
One gentleman from the U.S., I
00:16:56.61\00:16:58.95
never-- I know him, but maybe
00:16:58.95\00:17:01.42
last 15 years we've never
00:17:01.42\00:17:02.88
talked, he came and said,
00:17:02.88\00:17:04.49
"Hey, I want to help you with"
00:17:04.49\00:17:06.25
"radio, do you-- what do you"
00:17:06.25\00:17:07.92
"need for radio?"
00:17:07.92\00:17:09.36
And he said, "Just send me a"
00:17:09.36\00:17:10.86
"list of what you need,"
00:17:10.86\00:17:12.49
"doesn't matter how much it"
00:17:12.49\00:17:13.73
"costs, I want to buy for you"
00:17:13.73\00:17:15.23
"something good brand,"
00:17:15.23\00:17:16.83
"not cheap-cheap."
00:17:16.83\00:17:18.67
I give him a list and after
00:17:18.67\00:17:20.44
two weeks I have all the
00:17:20.44\00:17:21.57
equipment that I have
00:17:21.57\00:17:22.74
right now.
00:17:22.74\00:17:23.87
[MIKE] So tell us about-- how
00:17:23.87\00:17:25.17
did you get the studio?
00:17:25.17\00:17:27.24
>> I asked the board, church
00:17:27.24\00:17:29.84
board for some teeny room to
00:17:29.84\00:17:32.55
set up a studio here
00:17:32.55\00:17:34.65
and they give me.
00:17:34.65\00:17:36.42
We start with only one
00:17:38.65\00:17:40.62
microphone and two computers.
00:17:40.62\00:17:43.26
But that's what I want to
00:17:43.26\00:17:44.49
share with you, it's my lovely
00:17:44.49\00:17:46.46
verse from the Bible, that's
00:17:46.46\00:17:48.90
Acts 13:35 that says,
00:17:48.90\00:17:51.40
Right now after 13 years, we
00:18:01.51\00:18:04.01
have Bulgarian language,
00:18:04.01\00:18:06.58
Spanish, Russian, we talk in
00:18:06.58\00:18:08.72
Spanish, and we-- right now we
00:18:08.72\00:18:11.89
have eight computers and we
00:18:11.89\00:18:14.29
have lots of programs.
00:18:14.29\00:18:15.86
We have Health Life, we have a
00:18:15.86\00:18:18.56
special broadcast in Bible
00:18:18.56\00:18:20.33
archeologics, we have study
00:18:20.33\00:18:24.17
Bibles every Friday.
00:18:24.17\00:18:26.50
In September, we will start a
00:18:26.50\00:18:28.54
new program, new time, and
00:18:28.54\00:18:31.61
that will be to prepare people
00:18:31.61\00:18:33.31
for baptism.
00:18:33.31\00:18:35.21
Right now we're streaming
00:18:35.21\00:18:37.25
eight pages on Facebook, one
00:18:37.25\00:18:39.58
on YouTube, we're streaming
00:18:39.58\00:18:41.28
24/7 Christian message and
00:18:41.28\00:18:43.05
Christian music.
00:18:43.05\00:18:44.79
We have lots of blessings, we
00:18:44.79\00:18:46.62
have lots of people who listen
00:18:46.62\00:18:48.42
around the world.
00:18:48.42\00:18:50.33
We have one time, but that's--
00:18:50.33\00:18:52.63
I remember, 40,000 viewers.
00:18:52.63\00:18:54.96
That's amazing for us from
00:18:54.96\00:18:56.23
this small room.
00:18:56.23\00:18:57.53
We reach lots of people.
00:18:57.53\00:19:00.07
>> Bob Martin is a very
00:19:00.07\00:19:01.37
skilled person.
00:19:01.37\00:19:03.20
He-- his passion is radio and
00:19:03.20\00:19:05.81
TV ministry, he's skilled with
00:19:05.81\00:19:09.11
technology and so he used that
00:19:09.11\00:19:11.38
to set up Radio Bible Light
00:19:11.38\00:19:13.15
and then he transferred that
00:19:13.15\00:19:14.62
knowledge into setting up our
00:19:14.62\00:19:16.55
livestream ministry in the
00:19:16.55\00:19:17.92
church and now he's leading
00:19:17.92\00:19:19.05
out in that ministry as well.
00:19:19.05\00:19:20.69
We have been blessed with this
00:19:20.69\00:19:21.96
ministry, we have used the
00:19:21.96\00:19:23.46
technology to reach the
00:19:23.46\00:19:24.99
farthest corners of the earth.
00:19:24.99\00:19:27.00
Many young people and older
00:19:27.00\00:19:29.60
people have gotten involved in
00:19:29.60\00:19:31.33
this ministry and probably
00:19:31.33\00:19:32.97
they wouldn't have gotten
00:19:32.97\00:19:34.47
involved in any other ministry
00:19:34.47\00:19:35.87
in the church otherwise
00:19:35.87\00:19:37.21
because it was easy for them
00:19:37.21\00:19:38.37
to get involved.
00:19:38.37\00:19:39.87
Bob was very welcoming and he
00:19:39.87\00:19:41.54
was looking for many, many
00:19:41.54\00:19:42.74
people to get involved
00:19:42.74\00:19:43.91
in ministry.
00:19:43.91\00:19:45.08
Young adults, young people,
00:19:45.08\00:19:46.68
have been interviewing others,
00:19:46.68\00:19:48.25
have been hosting different
00:19:48.25\00:19:50.19
programs and this way a lot of
00:19:50.19\00:19:52.02
people have been involved in
00:19:52.02\00:19:53.59
this ministry.
00:19:53.59\00:19:54.96
Bob and his ministry, Radio
00:19:54.96\00:19:56.46
Bible Light, have been a
00:19:56.46\00:19:57.63
tremendous blessing to our
00:19:57.63\00:19:59.56
church and we thank him from
00:19:59.56\00:20:01.33
the bottom of our heart.
00:20:01.33\00:20:02.90
>> We are talking to Bob and
00:20:04.93\00:20:06.43
Christina Martin who have
00:20:06.43\00:20:08.27
started an online radio
00:20:08.27\00:20:11.24
ministry from their basement
00:20:11.24\00:20:13.54
of their house and then they
00:20:13.54\00:20:14.84
moved to the basement of the
00:20:14.84\00:20:16.01
church and they have a studio
00:20:16.01\00:20:17.21
there from which they
00:20:17.21\00:20:18.68
broadcast the power of God's
00:20:18.68\00:20:21.08
love to save.
00:20:21.08\00:20:22.82
>> So, Christina and Bob, can
00:20:23.82\00:20:25.49
you tell us how you get people
00:20:25.49\00:20:27.12
to help you?
00:20:27.12\00:20:28.99
>> It is amazing how the Holy
00:20:28.99\00:20:31.16
Spirit can move people to help
00:20:31.16\00:20:33.29
because we usually don't ask
00:20:33.29\00:20:36.06
people, we just pray and
00:20:36.06\00:20:39.17
people come to us.
00:20:39.17\00:20:41.14
So there was one story when we
00:20:41.14\00:20:43.41
asked a lady for an interview
00:20:43.41\00:20:45.01
and she said, "No, no,"
00:20:45.01\00:20:46.54
"I don't like cameras or"
00:20:46.54\00:20:48.18
"whatever," and then she
00:20:48.18\00:20:50.28
called in ten minutes and
00:20:50.28\00:20:51.71
said, "You know, I'm so sorry"
00:20:51.71\00:20:52.95
"that, like, I kind of cut"
00:20:52.95\00:20:54.62
"you off, but I can help you"
00:20:54.62\00:20:56.35
"find people."
00:20:56.35\00:20:57.65
Since then, she, like, three
00:20:57.65\00:20:59.19
years in a row, she's finding
00:20:59.19\00:21:01.32
every Friday, a person for an
00:21:01.32\00:21:03.46
interview, telling testimonies
00:21:03.46\00:21:05.33
and personal stories of
00:21:05.33\00:21:06.59
their faith.
00:21:06.59\00:21:08.50
There's another story, like
00:21:08.50\00:21:10.17
Joy from our church, who came
00:21:10.17\00:21:13.40
and, especially in this time,
00:21:13.40\00:21:15.27
she made a series, like a
00:21:15.27\00:21:18.31
course for mental wellness,
00:21:18.31\00:21:21.18
helping people in depression,
00:21:21.18\00:21:23.35
which was very important for
00:21:23.35\00:21:25.31
many people.
00:21:25.31\00:21:26.58
And other churches liked it,
00:21:26.58\00:21:28.12
they even broadcast it as
00:21:28.12\00:21:29.68
well, even went to Toronto,
00:21:29.68\00:21:32.19
I think.
00:21:32.19\00:21:33.59
So people come when they're
00:21:33.59\00:21:35.56
needed and moved by the
00:21:35.56\00:21:37.06
Holy Spirit.
00:21:37.06\00:21:38.49
>> So you're broadcasting
00:21:38.49\00:21:40.00
throughout the world and there
00:21:40.00\00:21:41.56
are people-- tell us some of
00:21:41.56\00:21:43.30
the stories of people you've
00:21:43.30\00:21:44.70
reached.
00:21:44.70\00:21:45.93
>> Oh, there's so many
00:21:45.93\00:21:46.97
amazing stories.
00:21:46.97\00:21:48.50
A lady from Bulgaria who went
00:21:48.50\00:21:50.21
to work in Italy and she was
00:21:50.21\00:21:51.97
lonely and searching on the
00:21:51.97\00:21:53.68
internet, she found the radio,
00:21:53.68\00:21:55.64
so she started listening.
00:21:55.64\00:21:58.21
She listened for two years,
00:21:58.21\00:21:59.91
our program with our pastors
00:21:59.91\00:22:02.62
and shared everything with her
00:22:02.62\00:22:04.32
pastor from her church because
00:22:04.32\00:22:06.02
this lady was from a different
00:22:06.02\00:22:07.36
denomination.
00:22:07.36\00:22:08.92
And after two years, she
00:22:08.92\00:22:11.36
called you...
00:22:11.36\00:22:13.16
>> Yeah, she called me and
00:22:13.16\00:22:14.56
asked me, "Can I have the"
00:22:14.56\00:22:16.00
"contact number for this"
00:22:16.00\00:22:17.27
"pastor because I have"
00:22:17.27\00:22:19.43
"a question."
00:22:19.43\00:22:21.00
>> I'm going back to Bulgaria
00:22:21.00\00:22:23.17
and next Sabbath, like, she
00:22:23.17\00:22:24.71
was at the church, and she
00:22:24.71\00:22:26.21
said, "Hello, Pastor," and he
00:22:26.21\00:22:27.64
said, "Do I know you?"
00:22:27.64\00:22:29.21
She said, "No, you don't know"
00:22:29.21\00:22:30.55
"me, but I know you because"
00:22:30.55\00:22:31.95
"I've been studying the Bible"
00:22:31.95\00:22:33.45
"with you for two years."
00:22:33.45\00:22:35.28
And the pastor said,
00:22:35.28\00:22:36.82
"Can I help you?"
00:22:36.82\00:22:38.45
The lady answered that,
00:22:38.45\00:22:40.26
"You know, everything I've"
00:22:40.26\00:22:41.69
"been sharing with my pastor,"
00:22:41.69\00:22:43.39
"he's been sharing with the"
00:22:43.39\00:22:44.73
"church and now he has a huge"
00:22:44.73\00:22:47.00
"problem: he doesn't know how"
00:22:47.00\00:22:48.93
"to tell the congregation"
00:22:48.93\00:22:50.27
"that they're moving the"
00:22:50.27\00:22:51.53
"worship from Sunday"
00:22:51.53\00:22:53.57
"to Saturday, can you come"
00:22:53.57\00:22:55.44
"and help, please?"
00:22:55.44\00:22:57.37
>> This lady lived two blocks
00:22:57.37\00:22:59.71
away from our church,
00:22:59.71\00:23:01.74
Adventist Church.
00:23:01.74\00:23:03.45
She had to go to Italy to
00:23:03.45\00:23:04.98
listen to our program to go
00:23:04.98\00:23:06.88
back to Bulgaria and find our
00:23:06.88\00:23:08.92
church for two blocks,
00:23:08.92\00:23:10.62
that's--
00:23:10.62\00:23:11.85
>> So it took a pastor
00:23:11.85\00:23:13.36
preaching in Bulgaria...
00:23:13.36\00:23:14.26
>> Yes.
00:23:14.26\00:23:15.36
>> ...radio broadcasting in
00:23:15.36\00:23:16.49
Canada to reach a lady in
00:23:16.49\00:23:17.93
Italy and to convert a church
00:23:17.93\00:23:19.76
in Bulgaria.
00:23:19.76\00:23:21.03
[BOB] I want to say one more
00:23:21.03\00:23:22.23
story, one mom from New York
00:23:22.23\00:23:23.60
called me and said, "Hey,"
00:23:23.60\00:23:25.33
"can you send a Bible for my"
00:23:25.33\00:23:27.04
"daughter, she's in Bulgaria"
00:23:27.04\00:23:28.50
"right now."
00:23:28.50\00:23:29.84
"She grew up in church, but"
00:23:29.84\00:23:30.94
"something happened, she's"
00:23:30.94\00:23:32.14
"far away right now, can you"
00:23:32.14\00:23:33.41
"send a Bible because she"
00:23:33.41\00:23:34.58
"likes to read the Bible."
00:23:34.58\00:23:36.31
We send it.
00:23:36.31\00:23:38.35
After a few months, this young
00:23:38.35\00:23:41.32
lady with her husband, baptized
00:23:41.32\00:23:45.79
in church and she calls me and
00:23:45.79\00:23:48.16
says, "How can I help you"
00:23:48.16\00:23:49.99
"to-- more people have this"
00:23:49.99\00:23:52.46
"option to receive the"
00:23:52.46\00:23:53.76
"Bible in their home."
00:23:53.76\00:23:55.13
>> Now she's sponsoring, like,
00:23:55.13\00:23:56.46
Bibles, so we send to
00:23:56.46\00:23:57.43
other people.
00:23:57.43\00:23:58.93
>> Those are fantastic stories.
00:23:58.93\00:24:01.27
The Holy Spirit was obviously
00:24:01.27\00:24:03.10
working through you and you
00:24:03.10\00:24:04.64
were obedient to His call and
00:24:04.64\00:24:06.88
He worked through you and that
00:24:06.88\00:24:08.61
dream and you just started a
00:24:08.61\00:24:10.28
radio station and that was
00:24:10.28\00:24:11.58
just so wonderful.
00:24:11.58\00:24:12.88
But the names, "Bob" and
00:24:12.88\00:24:14.42
"Christina Martin," those are
00:24:14.42\00:24:15.72
not Bulgarian names and
00:24:15.72\00:24:17.19
someone might be listening
00:24:17.19\00:24:18.52
right now and thinking to
00:24:18.52\00:24:19.69
themselves, "How did you get"
00:24:19.69\00:24:20.92
"the name 'Bob and Christina"
00:24:20.92\00:24:22.29
"Martin?'"
00:24:22.29\00:24:23.96
>> My original name is Bozhidar,
00:24:23.96\00:24:27.13
that means "God present."
00:24:27.13\00:24:30.00
But when I say "Bozhidar," here
00:24:30.00\00:24:32.90
nobody can say correctly my
00:24:32.90\00:24:35.17
name and I go to registry,
00:24:35.17\00:24:37.27
I say, "I want to change my"
00:24:37.27\00:24:38.44
"name, something short,"
00:24:38.44\00:24:39.94
"everybody will know what is"
00:24:39.94\00:24:41.68
"this, no surprise," and I go
00:24:41.68\00:24:43.31
to registry, I said,
00:24:43.31\00:24:44.51
"Can I change my name?"
00:24:44.51\00:24:45.51
She said, "Yes."
00:24:45.51\00:24:46.82
"What is your new name?"
00:24:46.82\00:24:47.92
I say, "Bob."
00:24:47.92\00:24:48.95
"Well...'Bob?'"
00:24:48.95\00:24:50.32
And they ask me,
00:24:50.32\00:24:51.45
"Your original name..."
00:24:51.45\00:24:53.36
"Yes, I want 'Bob' because 'Bob"
00:24:53.36\00:24:54.66
"is easy to spell, I cannot"
00:24:54.66\00:24:56.26
"spell my original name."
00:24:56.26\00:24:57.59
"'Bob' this way B-O-B and this"
00:24:57.59\00:24:59.13
"way B-O-B, it's easy."
00:24:59.13\00:25:01.10
And she says, "OK, what is"
00:25:01.10\00:25:02.10
"the last name?"
00:25:02.10\00:25:03.20
I say, "I don't have a last"
00:25:03.20\00:25:04.37
"name, what is some popular"
00:25:04.37\00:25:06.50
"person in Canada with 'M?'"
00:25:06.50\00:25:08.10
"Oh, Bob Martin, that is the"
00:25:08.10\00:25:09.67
"singer, everybody knows him."
00:25:09.67\00:25:11.07
"OK, nobody ask me for"
00:25:11.07\00:25:11.94
"spelling?"
00:25:11.94\00:25:12.77
"Nobody."
00:25:12.77\00:25:13.88
"OK, that's my new name,"
00:25:13.88\00:25:14.88
"'Bob Martin.'"
00:25:14.88\00:25:16.21
>> And so, Christina,
00:25:16.21\00:25:18.21
you took the last name of
00:25:18.21\00:25:19.41
"Martin," too?
00:25:19.41\00:25:20.78
>> I didn't want it--
00:25:20.78\00:25:22.05
originally I didn't want to
00:25:22.05\00:25:23.18
change my name, but it
00:25:23.18\00:25:24.32
happened that we have
00:25:24.32\00:25:25.82
different families so we're
00:25:25.82\00:25:27.09
not-- names so we're not
00:25:27.09\00:25:28.82
family anymore so I had to
00:25:28.82\00:25:30.43
change my family name.
00:25:30.43\00:25:32.83
Since I was changing my family
00:25:32.83\00:25:34.20
name, I decided to change my
00:25:34.20\00:25:35.56
first name as well because I
00:25:35.56\00:25:37.53
had been having a lot of
00:25:37.53\00:25:38.83
trouble, like my original name
00:25:38.83\00:25:40.40
is "Hristina" with "H" and
00:25:40.40\00:25:43.27
everybody is pointing to me,
00:25:43.27\00:25:44.94
"Oh, you forgot 'C,' oh, you"
00:25:44.94\00:25:46.57
"spelled wrong your name."
00:25:46.57\00:25:48.61
So I really got tired and just
00:25:48.61\00:25:50.85
added "C" so it's now
00:25:50.85\00:25:52.58
"Christina Martin" as well,
00:25:52.58\00:25:54.12
so...
00:25:54.12\00:25:55.38
Life is unbelievable.
00:25:55.38\00:25:56.72
>> Christina and Bob,
00:25:58.05\00:25:59.45
unfortunately we have run out

00:28:14.59\00:28:16.49
[MIKE] We want you to experience
00:28:16.49\00:28:18.16
the truth that is found in the
00:28:18.16\00:28:19.63
words of Jesus when He said,
00:28:19.63\00:28:21.66
"It is written, man shall not"
00:28:21.66\00:28:24.13
"live by bread alone, but by"
00:28:24.13\00:28:25.90
"every word that proceeds"
00:28:25.90\00:28:27.84
"out of the mouth of God."
00:28:27.84\00:28:29.64
>> A lady who found us on the
00:28:31.51\00:28:32.81
internet invited her
00:28:32.81\00:28:34.48
neighbours, they start
00:28:34.48\00:28:37.11
watching every Friday and they
00:28:37.11\00:28:39.41
start keeping the Sabbath
00:28:39.41\00:28:40.65
without knowing anything about
00:28:40.65\00:28:42.65
Adventism or pastors or
00:28:42.65\00:28:44.89
churches or anything.
00:28:44.89\00:28:46.76
And later on, like, we
00:28:46.76\00:28:48.32
contacted and we connected
00:28:48.32\00:28:49.79
them with a local pastor.
00:28:49.79\00:28:52.13
So people are, like,
00:28:52.13\00:28:53.70
transformed by what they hear
00:28:53.70\00:28:55.76
and they start believing.
00:28:55.76\00:28:57.17
