Hello, and welcome to another iSITE and Review. 00:00:05.03\00:00:08.30 It's another beautiful day. 00:00:08.34\00:00:09.67 It actually has a little chance of rain. 00:00:09.70\00:00:11.14 There's a few clouds in the sky, 00:00:11.17\00:00:13.24 but it is another gorgeous day. 00:00:13.27\00:00:14.74 And Jill and I are standing here 00:00:14.78\00:00:16.38 in London in downtown or Central London. 00:00:16.41\00:00:18.95 Downtown. 00:00:18.98\00:00:20.32 Central London I think is what they call it, 00:00:20.35\00:00:21.68 at a busy street corner. 00:00:21.72\00:00:23.52 You can see just down here all the tour buses, etcetera. 00:00:23.55\00:00:26.79 Now this city, 00:00:26.82\00:00:28.62 I have to be honest with you, is confusing. 00:00:28.66\00:00:30.79 There are so many twists and turns, 00:00:30.83\00:00:32.79 and the streets are not necessarily always 00:00:32.83\00:00:34.76 like set in square, 00:00:34.80\00:00:36.33 so there's a lot of twists and turns. 00:00:36.36\00:00:38.13 And I have here in my pocket what we call our oyster card. 00:00:38.17\00:00:42.77 Now this gets us access to the trains, etcetera, 00:00:42.80\00:00:45.71 all the trains and buses. 00:00:45.74\00:00:47.14 But inside of here, you pull this out, it is a map. 00:00:47.18\00:00:52.85 And I'm very thankful, I consider myself... 00:00:52.88\00:00:55.15 I can figure out a map pretty well. 00:00:55.18\00:00:56.72 He's good with directions. He knows... 00:00:56.75\00:00:58.09 You're pretty good. 00:00:58.12\00:00:59.45 This is north, this is south, east, west, 00:00:59.49\00:01:01.26 you know, this is the way we're going and stuff. 00:01:01.29\00:01:02.62 Yeah, that's true. 00:01:02.66\00:01:03.99 But I am very thankful for a map here 00:01:04.03\00:01:05.36 because in London, boy, it is really, really confusing. 00:01:05.39\00:01:08.13 I've actually gotten lost a few times, 00:01:08.16\00:01:09.76 but praise the Lord for the map, we've made it. 00:01:09.80\00:01:11.63 And I think of the great map. 00:01:11.67\00:01:13.00 What map do we have as Christians? 00:01:13.03\00:01:14.37 Amen. The roadmap is the Bible. 00:01:14.40\00:01:15.74 That's right. 00:01:15.77\00:01:17.11 You know, and you think about in London, so many people... 00:01:17.14\00:01:19.97 We were down just a couple days ago 00:01:20.01\00:01:21.61 on Westminster Bridge, and as you walk past that, 00:01:21.64\00:01:23.95 you can hardly get through. 00:01:23.98\00:01:25.31 It's just choked with humanity. With people. 00:01:25.35\00:01:27.85 With the people. 00:01:27.88\00:01:29.22 And you'd think, if we don't know the map, 00:01:29.25\00:01:32.02 we can have the map, but not open it up and read it. 00:01:32.05\00:01:34.42 If we don't read God's Word, 00:01:34.46\00:01:35.89 if we don't know the way to salvation, 00:01:35.92\00:01:38.46 it's just like we're part of the masses passing by 00:01:38.49\00:01:41.73 without any knowledge of Jesus. 00:01:41.76\00:01:43.30 So that is why 3ABN is here in London to bring 00:01:43.33\00:01:48.64 the Word of God, 00:01:48.67\00:01:50.01 to bring light into a dark place. 00:01:50.04\00:01:52.57 I love that scripture, "For God who commanded 00:01:52.61\00:01:54.51 the light to shine out of darkness 00:01:54.54\00:01:56.54 has shined in our hearts." 00:01:56.58\00:01:58.31 And each one of the sites 00:01:58.35\00:02:00.02 that we're going to be going to today, 00:02:00.05\00:02:01.55 each one of those iSITE Review evangelistic sites 00:02:01.58\00:02:05.19 are going to share a little piece 00:02:05.22\00:02:06.55 of what God is doing to bring light, 00:02:06.59\00:02:09.82 to bring the map, the Word of God, 00:02:09.86\00:02:11.59 into their church. 00:02:11.63\00:02:12.96 Yeah, you're absolutely correct. 00:02:12.99\00:02:14.33 And there's a tremendous testimony 00:02:14.36\00:02:15.70 that we're getting ready to go to North Wembley. 00:02:15.73\00:02:17.53 That's right. 00:02:17.57\00:02:18.90 And, you know, again, 00:02:18.93\00:02:20.27 you think about how God's Word is being shared 00:02:20.30\00:02:21.64 each and every day. 00:02:21.67\00:02:23.00 We need to pray for the pastors as they're delivering. 00:02:23.04\00:02:24.97 You know that Satan will be pushed back. 00:02:25.01\00:02:27.28 We need to pray for their health, 00:02:27.31\00:02:29.01 clarity of mind, 00:02:29.04\00:02:30.75 and that as they speak, you know, these guys, 00:02:30.78\00:02:33.08 these ministers, 00:02:33.11\00:02:34.45 they're not just guys, they're pastors, 00:02:34.48\00:02:35.82 they're servants of the Lord that God will be able to speak 00:02:35.85\00:02:38.52 through them to the people. 00:02:38.55\00:02:40.59 And that is absolutely critical. 00:02:40.62\00:02:43.12 And it's a way for us to participate, 00:02:43.16\00:02:44.89 you at home to participate is to pray for them 00:02:44.93\00:02:47.93 that God's Word will be playing 00:02:47.96\00:02:49.30 'cause that is the roadmap for us 00:02:49.33\00:02:52.27 as human beings on this earth. 00:02:52.30\00:02:53.64 It's God's word, 00:02:53.67\00:02:55.00 and what a precious gift that we have. 00:02:55.04\00:02:56.37 But anyway, we're going to North Wembley. 00:02:56.40\00:02:57.74 We're going to North Wembley church, 00:02:57.77\00:02:59.11 and we have a wonderful 3ABN testimony for you now. 00:02:59.14\00:03:03.31 Hello, everybody, on 3ABN! 00:03:06.55\00:03:09.88 I'm Pastor Phil, and I'm here with my good friend, Andrew. 00:03:09.92\00:03:13.66 I met him last night, and we know 00:03:13.69\00:03:16.73 that he was impacted by the Word. 00:03:16.76\00:03:18.96 Andrew, we're so glad that you're with us. 00:03:18.99\00:03:21.46 Say hi to everybody. 00:03:21.50\00:03:22.83 Hey, how's it going, everyone?

What a blessing! 00:06:29.15\00:06:31.25 The ministry of 3ABN is touching hearts 00:06:31.29\00:06:33.56 and lives all over the world. 00:06:33.59\00:06:35.02 I know he said he was especially blessed 00:06:35.06\00:06:36.59 by Cheri Peters. 00:06:36.62\00:06:37.96 We are outside one of these telephone booths here 00:06:37.99\00:06:40.90 on the street corner. 00:06:40.93\00:06:42.33 And Praise the Lord 00:06:42.36\00:06:43.80 that any time we want to talk to God, 00:06:43.83\00:06:47.14 we don't have to climb in the red booths. 00:06:47.17\00:06:48.80 That's right. You're absolutely correct. 00:06:48.84\00:06:50.67 We can call on Him at any time of day or night, He hears us. 00:06:50.71\00:06:53.88 I remember that when I was dating or courting Jill, 00:06:53.91\00:06:56.41 that was before I had a cell phone, 00:06:56.44\00:06:58.31 and when we were on a trip. 00:06:58.35\00:06:59.85 I would be looking for phone booths. 00:06:59.88\00:07:01.25 Not in London, of course, it was in the United States. 00:07:01.28\00:07:03.05 And I'd find a phone booth, 00:07:03.08\00:07:04.42 and I'd dial you up and talk to you. 00:07:04.45\00:07:05.79 There aren't many of these left, 00:07:05.82\00:07:07.16 but it's pretty neat. 00:07:07.19\00:07:08.52 We came across one of these in Central London. 00:07:08.56\00:07:10.66 But again, a great reminder that God is always available 00:07:10.69\00:07:14.00 to talk to you, not via phone but just a short prayer. 00:07:14.03\00:07:17.30 And I think the message of 3ABN goes out over 00:07:17.33\00:07:19.73 the airwaves 24/7. 00:07:19.77\00:07:21.90 What a blessing for that. 00:07:21.94\00:07:23.54 We're going next to the Brixton Seventh-day Adventist Church. 00:07:23.57\00:07:26.31 Pastor Gamal Alexander is over there, 00:07:26.34\00:07:28.48 and he has an interview with, I think it's... 00:07:28.51\00:07:30.61 They're young.

Okay. 00:08:27.37\00:08:29.00 And our role is to welcome everybody 00:08:29.04\00:08:31.71 to evenings and some mornings as well. 00:08:31.74\00:08:34.91 To make them feel welcomed 00:08:34.94\00:08:37.48 like into the meetings, program, 00:08:37.51\00:08:40.95 and also give them a brief understanding 00:08:40.98\00:08:43.42 of what the evening will consist of 00:08:43.45\00:08:46.29 and what they may have missed 00:08:46.32\00:08:47.69 if they weren't there for previous London. 00:08:47.72\00:08:50.16 Wonderful! 00:08:50.19\00:08:51.53 Now Leslie and Chantay have been 00:08:51.56\00:08:54.46 an exceptionally important part of our program. 00:08:54.50\00:08:57.20 They make sure that things run smoothly 00:08:57.23\00:08:59.27 from night to night. 00:08:59.30\00:09:00.64 We couldn't do this without them. 00:09:00.67\00:09:02.00 They are just one example of the many components 00:09:02.04\00:09:05.11 that it takes to make a campaign run successfully. 00:09:05.14\00:09:09.18 And we appreciate... 00:09:09.21\00:09:11.51 I appreciate everything you're doing, 00:09:11.55\00:09:13.75 and I wanted to let everybody else know 00:09:13.78\00:09:15.45 who you were. 00:09:15.48\00:09:16.99 So from Brixton Seventh-day Adventist Church, 00:09:17.02\00:09:19.82 this is Leslie, this is Chantay, signing out. 00:09:19.85\00:09:23.99 Thank you, Pastor Gamal, and thank you to the host 00:09:24.03\00:09:26.93 and hostesses of all the churches 00:09:26.96\00:09:29.10 and all those that work behind the scenes, 00:09:29.13\00:09:31.10 so to speak, to make this campaign 00:09:31.13\00:09:33.34 of London 2016 run smoothly. 00:09:33.37\00:09:36.37 It's definitely a team work, 3ABN with the SEC, 00:09:36.40\00:09:39.87 and then all of the local churches, 00:09:39.91\00:09:41.84 and it just keeps branching out from there. 00:09:41.88\00:09:44.61 Now Jill and I are standing in... 00:09:44.65\00:09:46.55 It feels like we're in a circle. 00:09:46.58\00:09:48.35 And we've got vehicles going all the way around us, 00:09:48.38\00:09:50.19 and I think here they call them a rotor, a rotor. 00:09:50.22\00:09:52.69 I call them a roundabout. Or a rotary. 00:09:52.72\00:09:54.96 A rotary is another term as well. 00:09:54.99\00:09:57.39 But they're confusing 'cause when you come around, 00:09:57.43\00:09:59.56 the way I think you'd be going off is different 00:09:59.59\00:10:01.66 because we're on the wrong side of the road. 00:10:01.70\00:10:03.37 Oh, yeah, I would definitely, if I were driving here, 00:10:03.40\00:10:05.53 I'd be in an accident very quickly, I'm sure of that. 00:10:05.57\00:10:08.67 But anyway, around this circle 00:10:08.70\00:10:10.44 and then other many streets here in London, 00:10:10.47\00:10:12.91 there are beautiful baskets of flowers 00:10:12.94\00:10:15.24 that are hanging from these light posts. 00:10:15.28\00:10:18.55 And I noticed underneath them there's like a little wet spot. 00:10:18.58\00:10:21.48 So somebody is watering these probably very early 00:10:21.52\00:10:25.02 in the morning every day I would say, 00:10:25.05\00:10:27.56 most like they're doing their job. 00:10:27.59\00:10:29.22 And it's interesting, we don't even see them. 00:10:29.26\00:10:30.99 I don't even know who they are, 00:10:31.03\00:10:32.36 but yet we get to see the beautiful flowers 00:10:32.39\00:10:34.30 that they continue to water every day. 00:10:34.33\00:10:36.36 And so, therefore, none of our jobs are insignificant. 00:10:36.40\00:10:39.07 Whatever it is, you and your local church, 00:10:39.10\00:10:41.64 I would say 3ABN, all these people, 00:10:41.67\00:10:43.97 but then maybe if we considered behind the scenes, 00:10:44.01\00:10:46.44 we all have to work together 00:10:46.47\00:10:47.81 because if somebody didn't do it, 00:10:47.84\00:10:49.51 the flowers wouldn't be blooming as they are. 00:10:49.54\00:10:50.91 They would die. Aren't they beautiful? 00:10:50.95\00:10:52.28 They would die. 00:10:52.31\00:10:53.65 So all of our jobs are important, 00:10:53.68\00:10:55.02 but we don't do it for man's praise, 00:10:55.05\00:10:57.92 we do it for God and for Him alone. 00:10:57.95\00:11:00.99 God calls each one, and I love that 00:11:01.02\00:11:02.96 because we're each called individually 00:11:02.99\00:11:05.19 as part of the body of Christ to build up the church 00:11:05.23\00:11:08.06 and to do the job that God has called us to do. 00:11:08.10\00:11:10.27 And that young man and lady 00:11:10.30\00:11:11.70 in that church did it wonderfully well. 00:11:11.73\00:11:13.87 We're going next to Tottenham West Green Road Church. 00:11:13.90\00:11:17.14 And this is Pastor CA Murray's church. 00:11:17.17\00:11:19.74 He and his wife, Irma, are there. 00:11:19.77\00:11:21.38 And Pastor CA is going to bring us an interview 00:11:21.41\00:11:24.45 from a young woman, 15 years old, 00:11:24.48\00:11:27.72 that stood up to give her heart and life to Jesus Christ. 00:11:27.75\00:11:30.79 Incredible. 00:11:30.82\00:11:32.15 Let's check out that testimony now. 00:11:32.19\00:11:33.56 Sena, tell me how old you are. Fifteen. 00:11:37.36\00:11:41.26 Fifteen years? Yup. 00:11:41.30\00:11:43.10 You look a lot older. 00:11:43.13\00:11:46.50 And you're almost my, you're almost my height. 00:11:46.53\00:11:48.40 Yep, 5'9". Bless your heart. 00:11:48.44\00:11:51.07 Do you play any sports? 00:11:51.11\00:11:52.44 Yes, I do, volleyball, a bit of football. 00:11:52.47\00:11:56.01 I do athletics a little bit, not too much though. 00:11:56.04\00:11:58.75 So football, by football you mean soccer? 00:11:58.78\00:12:00.62 Soccer. What we call soccer. 00:12:00.65\00:12:01.98 Yes, indeed. 00:12:02.02\00:12:04.75 Alright, have you been coming to the meetings every night? 00:12:04.79\00:12:07.29 Yes, I have, from the start, day five. 00:12:07.32\00:12:10.59 Praise the Lord! 00:12:10.63\00:12:11.96 And last night, you chose to stand up for the Lord 00:12:11.99\00:12:14.20 for baptism. 00:12:14.23\00:12:15.56 Why did you do that? 00:12:15.60\00:12:17.03 Well, there was something I just felt 00:12:17.07\00:12:19.43 when I was sitting down, 00:12:19.47\00:12:20.80 and especially after that sermon. 00:12:20.84\00:12:22.44 There was just something that I felt from within me 00:12:22.47\00:12:24.21 that just told me to stand up. 00:12:24.24\00:12:25.57 And it was just... 00:12:25.61\00:12:26.94 Like it was just the gut of a feeling, 00:12:26.98\00:12:28.31 like I've never felt it before. 00:12:28.34\00:12:29.68 And especially after, you know, through my stages, 00:12:29.71\00:12:32.05 I've made a mistake. 00:12:32.08\00:12:33.42 And it's something that I keep thinking, 00:12:33.45\00:12:35.25 and I keep like reminiscing, 00:12:35.28\00:12:36.65 it's just coming back to my mind, 00:12:36.69\00:12:38.29 and it was a hard decision to make, but I stood up. 00:12:38.32\00:12:41.02 And after I did, it's just like 00:12:41.06\00:12:42.49 the weight off my shoulder was like, it was gone. 00:12:42.52\00:12:44.63 And it felt so good to come 00:12:44.66\00:12:45.99 to the front like nothing before, 00:12:46.03\00:12:47.56 like words can't even explain. 00:12:47.60\00:12:49.36 It feels really good. 00:12:49.40\00:12:50.73 And it hasn't even begun, 00:12:50.77\00:12:52.10 like I haven't even been baptized yet, 00:12:52.13\00:12:53.47 and I already feel good, so I can't wait! 00:12:53.50\00:12:55.10 I can't wait to learn more about God and to finally, like, 00:12:55.14\00:12:58.24 walk with Him and not, you know, the other way 00:12:58.27\00:13:00.81 as you said earlier on today. 00:13:00.84\00:13:02.58 Amen, amen, and we praise the Lord for that. 00:13:02.61\00:13:04.65 Now you grew up in an Adventist home. 00:13:04.68\00:13:06.31 I did, I did, yep, both my dad and my mom are both Adventists. 00:13:06.35\00:13:10.65 And they were born and raised in Ethiopia, 00:13:10.69\00:13:12.99 and then came here and raised the kids. 00:13:13.02\00:13:15.22 There's four of us. 00:13:15.26\00:13:16.73 So growing up in an Adventist home 00:13:16.76\00:13:18.49 does not insulate you from making good decisions, 00:13:18.53\00:13:20.93 from bad decisions. 00:13:20.96\00:13:22.43 Yeah, exactly, that's... 00:13:22.46\00:13:24.83 It was just something like... 00:13:24.87\00:13:27.97 Being born in an Adventist home was obviously manipulated, 00:13:28.00\00:13:31.64 and it was kind of... 00:13:31.67\00:13:33.01 It kind of triggered 'cause, you know, 00:13:33.04\00:13:34.38 you're restricted if I could say. 00:13:34.41\00:13:36.75 And it's kind of like decisions were being made, 00:13:36.78\00:13:39.11 and it was really hard to do things 00:13:39.15\00:13:42.02 I couldn't do, you know? 00:13:42.05\00:13:43.39 'Cause you're told not to do this 00:13:43.42\00:13:45.15 and you're told to do that 00:13:45.19\00:13:46.52 and you're told to do certain things, 00:13:46.55\00:13:47.89 and that's not what you want. 00:13:47.92\00:13:49.26 So you're kind of tempted to do the wrong thing. 00:13:49.29\00:13:52.33 And that's kind of what happened. 00:13:52.36\00:13:54.36 And, yeah, God spoke to me. 00:13:54.40\00:13:56.77 Okay, so you know and understand now 00:13:56.80\00:13:58.70 that even though you make mistakes, 00:13:58.73\00:14:00.84 that doesn't shut you out 00:14:00.87\00:14:02.20 from Christ and that Christ can accept you. 00:14:02.24\00:14:03.97 And now you've made that turn 00:14:04.01\00:14:05.34 that we talked about being converted, 00:14:05.37\00:14:06.71 making that U-turn in your life, 00:14:06.74\00:14:08.08 so you've made that U-Turn, haven't you? 00:14:08.11\00:14:09.58 I have, absolutely. 00:14:09.61\00:14:10.95 And it feels so good, like nothing before, 00:14:10.98\00:14:12.81 like words can't even explain, 00:14:12.85\00:14:14.58 and finally making a U-turn, just wow. 00:14:14.62\00:14:17.79 This is amazing! 00:14:17.82\00:14:19.15 I just can't... 00:14:19.19\00:14:20.52 I don't know how to explain it in words. 00:14:20.56\00:14:22.02 I really can't. Praise the Lord! 00:14:22.06\00:14:23.53 And we are so happy for you. 00:14:23.56\00:14:25.09 You see, this is what coming to Christ does. 00:14:25.13\00:14:27.00 Even though you've made some mistakes in your past, 00:14:27.03\00:14:29.40 Christ doesn't care about that, and we, as Christians, 00:14:29.43\00:14:31.77 don't care about that, 00:14:31.80\00:14:33.13 what we care about is the future 00:14:33.17\00:14:34.50 that you have in Jesus. 00:14:34.54\00:14:36.50 And at 15 years of age, 00:14:36.54\00:14:38.77 somebody's got a weight off of her shoulders now 00:14:38.81\00:14:41.68 that will never return 00:14:41.71\00:14:43.04 as long as she's in Christ Jesus. 00:14:43.08\00:14:44.41 And we want to thank you for your testimony. 00:14:44.45\00:14:46.08 Thank you so much. Thank you. 00:14:46.11\00:14:48.38 Thank you so much, Pastor Murray. 00:14:48.42\00:14:49.75 He's at the Tottenham Seventh-day Adventist Church. 00:14:49.78\00:14:51.79 And that's a little ways north 00:14:51.82\00:14:53.32 of where we are here in downtown 00:14:53.36\00:14:54.92 or Central London as they call it. 00:14:54.96\00:14:57.16 And our church at Croydon is a little ways south, 00:14:57.19\00:14:59.96 quite a ways south of downtown here in Central London. 00:15:00.00\00:15:03.43 It's amazing. 00:15:03.47\00:15:04.80 London is a sprawling city, you know? 00:15:04.83\00:15:06.70 It's a metropolis surely, and it's sprawling. 00:15:06.74\00:15:10.41 The churches are a quite a bit spread out. 00:15:10.44\00:15:12.24 But that was an incredible testimony 00:15:12.27\00:15:14.74 of the young woman who made a stand, 00:15:14.78\00:15:17.88 chose to accept Jesus, 00:15:17.91\00:15:19.55 and that's what this 00:15:19.58\00:15:20.92 evangelistic campaign is all about. 00:15:20.95\00:15:23.02 It's a good point. 00:15:23.05\00:15:24.39 You know, I've heard different numbers mentioned, 00:15:24.42\00:15:25.79 I don't know exactly where these lines are drawn 00:15:25.82\00:15:28.32 in London, but they say about eight million, 00:15:28.36\00:15:30.99 maybe downtown or central, but I think all of London, 00:15:31.03\00:15:33.83 somebody told me yesterday, over twenty million people. 00:15:33.86\00:15:36.97 So you see this one young lady is just one of many. 00:15:37.00\00:15:40.70 But it's just one by one is how we make the impact, 00:15:40.74\00:15:43.24 and then it spreads. 00:15:43.27\00:15:44.61 Amen! That's right. 00:15:44.64\00:15:45.97 And we're standing here 00:15:46.01\00:15:47.34 in a busy street corner or roundabout. 00:15:47.38\00:15:48.71 I can hear some motorcycles. Yeah, and the busses. 00:15:48.74\00:15:51.25 The buses, they have 00:15:51.28\00:15:52.61 a lot of tour busses here in London. 00:15:52.65\00:15:54.05 The double-decker red bus is kind of your London bus, 00:15:54.08\00:15:57.25 you would think of, 00:15:57.29\00:15:58.62 but they have a lot of tour busses. 00:15:58.65\00:15:59.99 People come on it and take tours. 00:16:00.02\00:16:01.36 Yeah, you're absolutely correct. 00:16:01.39\00:16:02.86 Now we're getting ready to go and see Shelley Quinn's church. 00:16:02.89\00:16:05.43 Is that correct? That's right. 00:16:05.46\00:16:06.80 And then as soon as that is done, 00:16:06.83\00:16:08.16 we'll be back in Croydon. 00:16:08.20\00:16:09.63 We're going to make our fast trip back 00:16:09.66\00:16:11.37 to the Croydon Seventh-day Adventist Church there. 00:16:11.40\00:16:13.13 Take the fast train back. That's right. 00:16:13.17\00:16:15.64 And yeah, and it's been, 00:16:15.67\00:16:17.07 and again, a wonderful day here in London. 00:16:17.11\00:16:19.91 They say it's cloudy here most of the time with rain. 00:16:19.94\00:16:22.44 We haven't experienced much rain. 00:16:22.48\00:16:23.81 We have not, and the weather's been good. 00:16:23.85\00:16:25.71 Yeah, but we have experienced some of the clouds. 00:16:25.75\00:16:27.22 You know, it's interesting, as I look around 00:16:27.25\00:16:28.58 at some of these buildings, 00:16:28.62\00:16:29.95 I see some of the country flags that are flying, 00:16:29.98\00:16:32.45 like I see the Canadian one over here 00:16:32.49\00:16:33.92 and some of the other ones. 00:16:33.96\00:16:35.29 There's Malaysia over here. Yup, very good. 00:16:35.32\00:16:39.03 But we want the flag of Jesus Christ 00:16:39.06\00:16:40.90 to be flying above each one of our own lives, 00:16:40.93\00:16:43.06 our own hearts, our own houses 00:16:43.10\00:16:46.10 because we want Christ to be the one 00:16:46.13\00:16:47.87 that we represent. 00:16:47.90\00:16:49.24 We want to be the right representation 00:16:49.27\00:16:51.17 of that heavenly kingdom. 00:16:51.21\00:16:52.54 Amen! That's right. 00:16:52.57\00:16:53.91 Let's go to that interview over at Stoke Newington just now. 00:16:53.94\00:16:56.81 We are both members 00:17:00.88\00:17:02.22 of the Seventh-day Adventist church. 00:17:02.25\00:17:04.52 This is my daughter, Nadine, and I'm her mother of course. 00:17:04.55\00:17:08.96 And I am proud 00:17:08.99\00:17:11.06 that my daughter still attends church. 00:17:11.09\00:17:13.33 She's been coming since I think she was, I think, 00:17:13.36\00:17:16.03 about five years old, and she's never stopped. 00:17:16.06\00:17:21.40 And she's so involved in the church now, 00:17:21.44\00:17:23.71 and it makes me so happy to know 00:17:23.74\00:17:25.87 that God has guided her and protected her. 00:17:25.91\00:17:31.11 Absolutely! 00:17:31.15\00:17:33.72 We've been attending Stoke Newington Adventist Church 00:17:33.75\00:17:37.09 for a very long time. 00:17:37.12\00:17:38.85 And, you know, God works in mysterious ways. 00:17:38.89\00:17:41.62 And I've always said nothing before it's time. 00:17:41.66\00:17:44.46 So although we've been attending this long, 00:17:44.49\00:17:46.36 I would probably say 00:17:46.39\00:17:47.73 that we've certainly been putting our hand 00:17:47.76\00:17:49.16 to the plow in the most recent years. 00:17:49.20\00:17:52.43 So there's always a chance for God 00:17:52.47\00:17:54.47 to work in anyone's life that attends. 00:17:54.50\00:17:57.14 And, as my mother said, 00:17:57.17\00:17:59.91 I'm actually very much involved in the church now. 00:17:59.94\00:18:03.21 I am stepping up 00:18:03.24\00:18:04.61 into the youth leader role in 2017. 00:18:04.65\00:18:09.48 And, again, I'm just hoping that I can be an inspiration 00:18:09.52\00:18:13.29 for the youngsters of today to try to share the work 00:18:13.32\00:18:18.29 with them in new creative ways for them 00:18:18.33\00:18:22.03 where we can hopefully bring them back in. 00:18:22.06\00:18:24.63 So I'm just very grateful that my mother sent my sister 00:18:24.67\00:18:29.04 and myself to church with my grandparents, 00:18:29.07\00:18:32.81 and that now we are a part of one body, 00:18:32.84\00:18:35.74 and we are a family bound together fellowshipping 00:18:35.78\00:18:39.18 and worshipping 00:18:39.21\00:18:40.55 in the Seventh-day Adventist church. 00:18:40.58\00:18:42.72 Especially, as there's so many people, 00:18:42.75\00:18:45.25 so many church brothers and sisters 00:18:45.29\00:18:48.99 whose children no longer come to church, 00:18:49.02\00:18:51.76 we've always continue to pray for them, 00:18:51.79\00:18:55.43 and that they will return one day. 00:18:55.46\00:18:57.83 It's so important to have people in our church. 00:18:57.87\00:19:01.04 But right now, Jesus is our Savior, 00:19:01.07\00:19:06.04 and we look to Him for guidance, for protection, 00:19:06.07\00:19:11.48 and He just brings joy to our hearts. 00:19:11.51\00:19:16.08 Oh yeah, I can't express how much He's done for me. 00:19:16.12\00:19:21.26 I have been looking for Jesus for a long time. 00:19:21.29\00:19:24.39 And on reflection, looking back over my life, 00:19:24.43\00:19:27.90 I've actually seen the blessings. 00:19:27.93\00:19:31.00 And I just didn't realize at the time 00:19:31.03\00:19:32.80 because probably at that time my faith 00:19:32.83\00:19:36.17 for understanding was slightly weak, 00:19:36.20\00:19:39.07 whereas now because I'm growing each day, 00:19:39.11\00:19:43.21 spending more and more time with God's people, 00:19:43.24\00:19:46.18 with the family of God 00:19:46.21\00:19:47.55 and reading and studying His words, 00:19:47.58\00:19:50.05 it's just amazing in terms of what He's doing, 00:19:50.09\00:19:53.42 opening up my eyes to the Word, and seeing Him very simply, 00:19:53.46\00:19:57.53 very clearly, so I can make the changes that I need 00:19:57.56\00:20:01.53 through His grace and mercy to become better. 00:20:01.56\00:20:05.80 So at the moment, 00:20:05.83\00:20:07.37 there's no where I'd rather be but in the church. 00:20:07.40\00:20:10.87 Amen! 00:20:10.91\00:20:12.24 As a young person, which is great, 00:20:12.27\00:20:15.44 so I'm happy, and I'm home. 00:20:15.48\00:20:18.08 I'm a member of this church, 00:20:22.35\00:20:24.09 Stoke Newington in North London. 00:20:24.12\00:20:26.12 And I'm so happy that 3ABN has chosen this church 00:20:26.15\00:20:31.39 to be one of the many venues to host 3ABN 00:20:31.43\00:20:36.36 One Life series of speakers. 00:20:36.40\00:20:40.00 And we've got Shelley Quinn 00:20:40.04\00:20:42.54 who's doing such a marvelous and fantastic job. 00:20:42.57\00:20:45.77 And I'm learning lots of things. 00:20:45.81\00:20:49.24 Some of the things I knew before, 00:20:49.28\00:20:50.61 but it's so good to refresh your memory 00:20:50.65\00:20:54.12 and to add in more information on some. 00:20:54.15\00:20:56.12 I'm so pleased. 00:20:56.15\00:20:57.49 I'm so happy that the venue's being held here. 00:20:57.52\00:21:02.82 It's very easy for me to get here. 00:21:02.86\00:21:04.19 I just live five minutes away, 00:21:04.23\00:21:05.56 so I just walk here every evening. 00:21:05.59\00:21:10.30 I've been a member of this church for 17 years. 00:21:10.33\00:21:13.94 I've been baptized since 1999. 00:21:13.97\00:21:16.60 But I have been coming here since I was a child. 00:21:16.64\00:21:19.11 My aunt used to bring me here when I was a child. 00:21:19.14\00:21:21.64 And I'm so happy that, as I said, 00:21:21.68\00:21:26.01 this venue is being used 00:21:26.05\00:21:28.68 to host the two-week 00:21:28.72\00:21:33.39 campaign here. 00:21:33.42\00:21:35.66 I'm also officer of the church. 00:21:35.69\00:21:40.26 And the office I hold 00:21:40.30\00:21:41.63 is I'm the religious liberty coordinator, 00:21:41.66\00:21:46.80 which is a very important office 00:21:46.84\00:21:51.84 to hold simply because as we all know 00:21:51.87\00:21:55.41 that prophecy is being fulfilled daily. 00:21:55.44\00:21:58.48 We're living in the small print or the details of the prophecy. 00:21:58.51\00:22:03.39 And I'm sure many people, 00:22:03.42\00:22:05.05 many of the prophets in the Bible 00:22:05.09\00:22:07.66 who prophesied about what's going to happen now 00:22:07.69\00:22:11.03 would have loved to live when we're living in. 00:22:11.06\00:22:13.60 Thank you Shelley and JD Quinn and the Stoke Newington church, 00:22:13.63\00:22:16.63 and again, all of the churches that are involved in the 2016 00:22:16.67\00:22:20.00 London evangelistic campaign. 00:22:20.04\00:22:21.54 It's a blessing to be a part of it, isn't it? 00:22:21.57\00:22:23.51 It is. 00:22:23.54\00:22:24.87 And we have made it from Central London. 00:22:24.91\00:22:26.24 We took the train back here 00:22:26.27\00:22:27.64 to the Croydon Seventh-day Adventist Church. 00:22:27.68\00:22:29.51 Beautiful weather, too.
