00:06 Hello, and welcome to iSITE number eight.
00:08 We are coming to you from Phoenix, Arizona 00:10 for the evangelistic series, Pathway to Life. 00:13 I'm Greg and my wife Jill 00:14 and we have Brother Tim Parton with us. 00:16 We're in the lobby of the Paradise Valley 00:18 Seventh-day Adventist Church. 00:20 And this is a very busy church, Tim. 00:21 I know that when Jill and I have come over here 00:23 and I'm sure you have too even during the week days. 00:26 Before the meetings start, 00:27 there's always usually a car here 00:29 or something going on in some of these fellowship rooms 00:31 or there's somebody in the office 00:32 and it's neat to see an active church, isn't it? 00:34 Things going on. That's right. 00:36 Yeah, it's always great. 00:37 God's people ought to be at work all the time, right? 00:38 That's true. Good point. 00:40 So it's good, 00:41 and church is a good foundation, 00:43 good place to be working from, so. 00:45 Amen. Very good point. 00:47 And we want to give a shout-out to those who are watching 00:49 on Facebook, 00:51 we're getting comments, 00:52 we got a comment from Gregory and for Dwight. 00:55 And that Gregory is not me... 00:56 That's right, a different Gregory. 00:58 And then these are some people who have shared 01:00 and I'll read through this list quickly. 01:02 Devon, Edvanda, Tom, Cora, Ada, Alisia, John, Debby, Genevieve, 01:08 Loreena, Clayton, Amy, Kim, Moe Anna, Marsha, Sandra, 01:13 Emery, Amy, Marilyn, Haleena, 01:15 Arielle, Anna, Oscar, Rudy, Carolyn, Ode, 01:18 Renee, Garneth, and the list goes on and on. 01:22 So thank you so much for watching here on Facebook, 01:26 for giving us a shout-out. 01:27 We're streaming on YouTube. 01:28 That's right. 01:30 You can go watch them anytime on YouTube, or on Facebook, 01:32 or any of the other avenues. 01:34 And it's a blessing how the technology changes, 01:36 and you can communicate with us 01:38 even as we're communicating with you. 01:39 Right. 01:41 You know, and before we usually start 01:42 each one of these iSITES, or any program, 01:44 we always like to start with prayer. 01:45 And before we went on the air here, 01:47 Brother Tim prayed. 01:48 And I like what you said in your prayer. 01:50 You said, 01:51 "Father, we have so many things to be grateful for." 01:53 You're right. 01:54 And, Tim, there are, aren't there in life? 01:56 You know, we can take so many things for granted. 01:57 I know you've had a tremendous, what do we say, 02:01 it's encouraging on the... 02:02 You did a little appeal. 02:04 So nice to know what God has done. 02:05 So something... Tell us about that miracle. 02:07 On the Thursday Live, I believe, 02:08 it's what we call it 02:10 that you would ask for people to give us. 02:14 You had mentioned, help me here, 02:16 the prayer requests for each pastor 02:18 that each one that's speaking 02:20 and when it came my turn, 02:22 I know that there had been a need for some equipment. 02:24 Absolutely. 02:26 We had a breakdown in equipment here. 02:27 And I just made the plea 02:29 and if you were watching, there's still a need. 02:34 But that Friday morning, 02:35 I've received a call from California. 02:37 A dear lady called, 02:39 and nearly a third of what we needed, 02:44 the Lord had impressed her 02:46 to provide that, to supply that, 02:49 to help meet with the need. 02:50 And she mentioned to me, she said, 02:52 "I really am praying that it's not just an impulse", 02:56 that because she said, 02:57 "Now my personality is very impulsive 02:58 but I want it to be spirit-led, 03:00 I want God to really have spoken to me." 03:03 It's nice to know that there are generous people, 03:06 but generosity that is not directed, 03:09 you know, by God, 03:12 I would say, we'll take the funds either way. 03:15 But, you know, when the Lord speaks to you 03:18 and for you to be sensitive to that, 03:20 that's just important. 03:23 And there are some other answers to prayer. 03:26 I know you had mentioned Shelley. 03:27 Oh, I know that's amazing there. 03:29 Before we leave that, 03:30 I do want to mention that the need still is great 03:34 for the equipment, 03:36 but I don't know how many other people 03:38 may have called in that don't call me personally 03:41 to give the funds too. Amen. 03:43 So yeah, the need is still there, 03:45 but God is faithful to answer and supply. 03:48 So we just want to say that, go God. 03:50 Amen. Go God. That's right. 03:52 You know, what's exciting to me, Tim, 03:53 is that God, to me, it works in both ways. 03:56 You made the need know. 03:57 You know, you said, "Hey, wait a minute, 03:59 there's a need here about the equipment 04:01 and we really could use that." 04:02 And what happened, 04:04 God rewarded your faith in stepping out 04:06 and, you know, you get to see that, 04:07 "Wow, I said that and look at what God's people did." 04:10 That's a good point. 04:11 And then on the other, the flipside, 04:13 this precious woman from California 04:14 who heard your appeal for funds, 04:17 she stepped out by faith 04:19 in doing what God had called her to do. 04:21 So I mean, to me, it works both ways 04:23 and we get to see what God is doing 04:25 and that's incredible. 04:26 And you're right about Shelley 04:27 because we mentioned that on the Thursday Night Live, 04:29 she's struggling with her health 04:31 and I know last night at the meeting 04:33 she could hardly talk. Yeah. 04:35 And then she stood up to preach 04:37 and her voice got stronger, and stronger, 04:40 and the Lord sustained her. 04:41 And then as soon as the message was over, 04:44 here it went again, you know. 04:45 I mean, you just see those answers to prayer 04:47 that we see taking place here. 04:48 Absolutely. Amen. Yeah. 04:50 And we're getting ready to actually go to the church, 04:51 aren't we? 04:52 There's some great testimonies actually that are taking place 04:54 there on what God is doing. 04:55 So let's go to those roles right now. 04:59 We are here at 05:00 the Phoenix Central Seventh-day Adventist Church, 05:02 and sitting next to me is Kirsten 05:05 who as JD said is 05:07 we've got a lot in common, 05:08 she's a seeker of the truth 05:10 and that's where I found myself 05:12 in that position so many years ago 05:15 and still. 05:16 Keersten, tell us just a little bit 05:18 about your background. 05:20 How did you grow up? 05:21 I grew up as a Catholic. 05:24 And in searching through time many years, 05:27 actually about 10, 05:30 looking online, reading different books and sources, 05:32 I was able to gather enough information 05:35 and, kind of, hop around church to church. 05:38 And then eventually, 05:39 I came across a revelation seminar 05:41 by David Asscherick 05:43 which led me to the online source 05:47 of the Adventist group. 05:50 And then I was able to find more information, 05:52 more study guides, 05:53 and more information to be able to ask questions 05:56 and then, eventually, finding out 05:57 that I'm only about 05:59 not even a quarter of a mile within walking distance 06:02 from the Seventh-day Adventist Church. 06:03 Praise God. 06:05 So you actually joined the church how long ago? 06:08 It's been about nine months, almost ten. 06:10 And you're already very active, you're a Bible teacher? 06:13 Yes, that's correct. Okay. 06:15 So here's the question I have for you, 06:18 are you learning anything at this series? 06:21 Oh, yes, most definitely. I was really excited. 06:24 I'm especially growing up 06:26 in a specific church in background, 06:28 there wasn't a lot of women 06:30 who empowered the conviction of Christ. 06:33 They weren't speaking, 06:34 I couldn't see anything at least from what I saw. 06:37 They were always shadows, 06:38 they were always in the background, 06:40 and it made me feel misplaced. 06:41 And being here and then your series, 06:44 having seen you online before, also was just like, wow, 06:48 it's really nice to be in a place 06:50 that's not polluted with all these different ideas 06:54 but allows multiple people 06:56 not just, you know, women in general 06:59 but just multiple people to be able to experience 07:03 and be able to be a part of something. 07:04 Amen. 07:06 And I know God's going to be using you 07:07 in an ever-greater way to spread His truth. 07:11 What did you think about tonight 07:13 as we looked at God's progressive revelation 07:17 of unfolding through His covenants? 07:20 What really got me was when you explained. 07:23 I've always loved the sanctuary 07:24 and always tried to understand it better. 07:27 And when I speak to people about the Ten Commandments 07:29 in which they tried to say other things about 07:32 in which since regards to, 07:34 it's beautiful the way you described it 07:36 to where it's in the Ark of the Covenant 07:39 and upon it is His mercy seat of sweet judgment 07:44 and ultimately, it's the foundation 07:46 on which He rests upon 07:49 and it helps people put it in a better light, 07:52 in a better picture 07:53 to be able to understand 07:54 that it's something that's unchangeable. 07:56 Amen. 07:58 Well, we are just so excited that Keersten's been coming 08:00 to the meetings faithfully 08:01 and just want you to pray for Keersten 08:04 'cause I believe that God has a great plan for your life. 08:08 He's going to use you to be a minister of His grace. 08:12 She is a seeker of truth. 08:14 She has truly invested a lot of time in that. 08:20 And we just want to invite you, if you're seeing this, 08:22 in time to come on out. 08:24 We will be meeting here through March the 10th 08:28 except for Thursday nights. 08:30 So thank you so much for joining us. 08:34 Hi, this is Lynn Harris. 08:35 And I'm here in the Arizona conference. 08:39 You know, personally we have our own ministry, 08:41 we know what it takes to put on evangelistic meetings 08:45 and to all the work involved 08:46 and here in Arizona, right now, 08:49 you can be part of Pathways to Life. 08:52 It is a beautiful ministry going on throughout Arizona 08:55 at several churches. 08:56 I am at the Central Church here in the Phoenix, Arizona. 09:00 It's the most loving church. 09:02 I mean, when you walk in here, 09:03 you just feel God's love around you. 09:05 The people come from quite a ways away many times 09:08 just to be a member here 09:10 because of that love and the love for evangelism. 09:12 And here we have Shelley Quinn and JD Quinn 09:16 just the most wonderful loving people to be with. 09:18 And Shelley is going through the Bible 09:20 like you never heard. 09:23 It is so inspiring, every night I'm moved to tears 09:26 because of reminding myself of the Word of God. 09:30 The Word of God is breathing life into us. 09:32 Shelley's giving us so many wonderful words of life 09:36 and just like it says pathway to life. 09:39 Many people don't know what tomorrow holds, 09:41 they don't even know how to get up and face today 09:44 and you can get that inspiration 09:46 if you come here, be part of it. 09:48 It's every night except Thursday. 09:50 with music and prayer, 09:53 and then we go into the Word of God, 09:55 and there's people here to pray with you, 09:57 to encourage you, 09:58 you have inspirational things to take home. 10:02 So please come out 10:03 and don't miss out on one meeting, 10:06 every night except Thursday. 10:08 Shelley and JD Quinn are here 10:10 and we are just grateful to have them in Arizona. 10:13 We are so... 10:15 Our world is hungry for the word of God. 10:17 So please don't miss out. 10:18 And thank you so much 10:20 for making it possible for 3ABN to be here. 10:25 Michael, you're one of these people 10:27 that it's just so easy to like. 10:30 You're just, I hear this about myself, 10:31 just a big teddy bear. 10:33 You're a big teddy bear. 10:34 Well, I'm not like this all the time. 10:36 Well, then we're catching you at a good time then. 10:40 But I do know that you are truly a minister of music. 10:43 Yes. 10:45 I listen to your CD all day long to date nearly. 10:47 And every time that I listen to, 10:49 it just touched my heart, a true minister of music. 10:52 How long have you been singing? 10:54 I've been singing now for about 30 years in the ministry, 10:57 and it's such a great opportunity 11:00 to share the good news of the Gospel 11:02 through music with God's people. 11:04 Amen. Yes. 11:05 And what is the name of your ministry? 11:07 Restoration in the Son, s-o-n, 11:12 and we've been in existence for about 30 years or so. 11:15 Yeah. 11:16 And I know that you and your wife, Lynn, 11:18 shall travel a lot, 11:21 preaching the Word of God. 11:22 We actually go into different churches, 11:25 all denominations. 11:26 In fact, I've gone to a few Catholic churches. 11:28 We go into prisons, we go to schools, 11:30 hospitals, 11:31 and there's something special about music 11:33 that reaches the heart of those 11:35 who are not even interested in hearing the Gospel 11:37 but they just want to hear 11:38 a nice song that will move their hearts. 11:40 And the Holy Spirit just takes hold to a song 11:43 and just does wonderful things with it, 11:44 just like it does with Shelley Quinn 11:46 as she speaks. 11:47 Amen. 11:48 And so you truly 11:50 because of where you grew growing up, 11:53 we all have a past 11:55 but you really grew up with a tough past. 11:57 So you certainly understand evangelism 12:00 because that is what your ministry is about. 12:03 And 3ABN is partnering up 12:08 with the Arizona Conference 12:10 and because of that we... 12:13 Shelley she's at teaching here at the Central Church, 12:18 the Phoenix Central Church. 12:20 And so I know that... 12:23 What is your take on evangelism? 12:25 Well, I think that there's so many people 12:28 who are searching for something special, 12:33 and I think evangelism is a special opportunity 12:36 for people to know Christ. 12:38 And I believe that 12:39 when Shelley Quinn came into contact with our guests 12:44 with 3ABN and you guys came out here, 12:46 I knew that it was going be an awesome time in Christ Jesus 12:49 because Shelley is an outstanding speaker. 12:52 And I've been listening to her on 3ABN for several years now, 12:55 and I really enjoy what God is doing through her 12:58 and through you too, JD. 12:59 Amen.

Bye-bye. 13:21 Bye. 13:23 Thank you so much for those great interviews 13:25 from the Phoenix Central Seventh-day Adventist Church. 13:27 We heard from Michael and Lynn Harris 13:28 who have been there doing some music and visiting, 13:31 as well as Keersten, what an incredible testimony, 13:35 growing up Catholic, 13:36 hearing a revelation seminar by David Asscherick 13:39 and then coming into the truth, 13:40 and she's a brand-new baptized member there. 13:43 Amen. 13:44 Well, we're standing here sweetheart 13:46 with somebody special. 13:47 We are, Chris Fishell. 13:48 And we're actually... 13:50 When we started the program, we were in the lobby 13:51 of the Paradise Valley Seventh-day Adventist Church, 13:53 and we're here in the beautiful walk, 13:54 leading up to the church doors here 13:55 where the evangelistic series is taking place 13:58 each evening with Pastor John Lomacang. 14:00 What a blessing it's been. 14:01 Now Chris Fishell has helped us in a tremendous way 14:04 leading up to this series. 14:06 You've worked with him quite a bit too on the planning 14:08 but also while this evangelistic series 14:10 is going on, 14:11 your official title here is Head Deacon. 14:13 Yes. 14:14 But I would say you wear multiple hats, Chris. 14:16 And he helps hold the church together. 14:17 Yeah. 14:18 Right now, I'm the temporary church secretary 14:20 and pretty much all around, whatever needs to be done, 14:24 Deacon's keep the house moving, so that's what I do. 14:27 Well, we just want to thank you for your hard work. 14:29 That's right. 14:30 I mean, we mentioned earlier about somebody being here 14:32 at the church almost all the time, 14:33 that's pretty much Chris and then few other people... 14:35 Yeah, there are a few of us 14:37 and, you know, 14:38 we're happy to be here to help facilitate this. 14:40 You guys are wonderful, 14:41 and it's been a pleasure to work with 3ABN on this. 14:44 We appreciate working with this church here 14:46 and the conference has been a real blessing. 14:48 Now this church, 14:49 the Paradise Valley Seventh-day Adventist Church 14:50 was established when, Chris? 14:52 1972. 14:53 So we've been here 46 years and... 14:56 And you've been here 46 years? 14:57 I haven't. I've been back about 12. 15:01 I grew up at another local church 15:02 but my grandparents were in the congregation 15:04 that built this church, 15:05 as well as some of the other members 15:07 are still charter members 15:08 or the children of charter members here, so. 15:10 The original of all those years ago, 15:12 your grandparents were part of that? 15:13 Yes. That's amazing. 15:15 Amen. That's wonderful. 15:16 So why do you, and your wife, and your family, 15:19 why do you come to this church? 15:21 What draws you to this church here? 15:22 You know, we came in here one Sabbath on a whim 15:26 many years ago, 15:27 and came in the side-door, 15:29 and took our kid into the kindergarten room, 15:32 and everybody was so friendly. 15:35 It was such a family place, 15:37 and we felt right at home right away, 15:39 and we just never considered leaving again, 15:41 eventually transferred our membership, so. 15:44 You know, Chris, I have a question for you. 15:45 When we did site survey, 15:47 we met with you and the pastor and when we first came here, 15:50 when was that November of last year? 15:51 November. Something. Yeah. 15:52 There was a calendar in the office that you work from 15:55 that didn't have many blank spaces on it. 15:57 And so, Chris, why is it important 15:59 for a church to be busy 16:00 because on the calendar were evangelistic series 16:02 like this one, 16:03 other events taking place during the week, 16:05 things that are planned for the end of this year. 16:07 Why is it important for a church to keep busy? 16:09 You know, can I use an analogy 16:12 from when I was in youth ministry? 16:13 Please. 16:14 We go camping with pathfinders, 16:16 if you didn't have every minute scheduled out, 16:18 guess what would happen, people wander off, 16:19 somebody take a rock to the skull, 16:21 something like that which can actually happened with. 16:23 It's not that we have to have something going all the time 16:26 but this is family, 16:27 and if you're not together with your family often, 16:29 you're going to lose touch with them 16:30 and you're going to wander away. 16:32 And so we want to stay busy 16:33 and we want the family to be here. 16:35 Yeah, excellent. Amen. 16:36 Praise the Lord. We appreciate you, Chris. 16:37 Thank you again for all that you do. 16:39 Thank you. 16:40 Lord be praised and be glorified. 16:42 We are happy you are here. 16:43 It is such a blessing to work with 16:44 the Paradise Valley Church and with Chris. 16:46 He has great humor and just keeps us laughing. 16:49 He's a man of action 16:51 and helps coordinate so many things 16:52 and it's been a privilege to work with you. 16:54 Right now, we're going to a testimony, 16:56 Chris Shelton is at... 16:57 She and Pastor Kenny are at the Chandler, 16:59 Seventh-day Adventist Church. 17:00 And there's an interview there with Michelle and Don. 17:03 Let's listen to that now. 17:05 Hi, I'm Chris Shelton and we're coming to you again 17:08 from Chandler Seventh-day Adventist Church 17:10 in Chandler, Arizona. 17:11 And I have two very special, they are new friends 17:14 but oh, wow have they been a blessing to me. 17:17 Michelle, who is also a nurse practitioner 17:21 and she and I have a love for natural things. 17:25 And I've been presenting the health message here. 17:27 And so it has just fit so well though. 17:30 May be the first night after I'd seen you, 17:32 probably the second night we were here, 17:34 we sat and talked for maybe an hour, 17:36 I'm not really sure but quite a while, wasn't it? 17:39 And she has brought me some things 17:41 and let me tell you it's been a blessing 17:43 but it's just been a tremendous blessing 17:44 being here with you 17:46 and along with Michelle is her husband Don. 17:49 So I would like to know, guys, 17:51 what do you think about the meetings? 17:54 Well, I think the meetings have been fantastic 17:57 for Chandler, Arizona. 17:59 And I would like to see 18:03 more of the same in other areas. 18:06 Amen. 18:07 Well, we have several going on in the Phoenix area right now. 18:10 Around the West, besides just the Phoenix area? 18:15 I'd like to have you stay a while 18:17 and do some more. 18:19 Oh, wow. 18:20 Get down in to Tucson 18:23 you know, get over into New Mexico, 18:25 maybe touch California a little bit. 18:28 Well, you never know where the Lord leads, 18:31 that's where we want to follow, right? 18:33 How about you, Sister Michelle? What do you think? 18:35 I've been very blessed. 18:37 Pastor Kenny just has a way 18:39 to teach the truth out of the lessons. 18:42 And it's so beautiful 18:44 that it touches my heart, it softens me, 18:46 and impresses me, 18:48 and I'm very, very grateful for them, 18:50 and it's definitely life changing. 18:52 Yeah. Amen. Well, wonderful. 18:53 Well, it's been good to have you here. 18:55 And tonight, we were so blessed, 18:57 so many decisions. 18:59 I think, nearly, everybody were on their feet 19:01 and they were wanting to be connected 19:04 'cause tonight's message was get connected 19:06 and we want to be connected to Christ 19:08 and stay connected with Him. 19:10 So folks at home, thank you so much for tuning in 19:13 and keep praying for Chandler. 19:14 God bless you. 19:18 Thank you so much, Chris. 19:19 What a blessing to hear testimonies 19:21 from each one of the different churches. 19:23 Now we're standing here 19:24 outside the Paradise Valley Seventh-day Adventist Church 19:27 with another integral part of the team. 19:30 This is elder Dick Lewis 19:31 and you're the head elder of the church here. 19:33 Yes, I am. 19:35 And you've been head elder, how many years? 19:37 Because when we asked you, like about nine years? 19:38 About nine years. 19:40 But you've actually held that position 19:41 'cause you've been at this church how many years? 19:43 Thirty-three. Wow. 19:45 That's a long time, 19:46 and you've held that head elder position 19:47 off and on throughout that time period. 19:49 Why did you and your wife first come to the church here? 19:53 Well, actually, we took our kids around 19:55 to four different churches that we're here at that time. 19:58 We say, "Which one do you really like?" 20:00 And they chose this one. 20:01 And that way when I'd wake them up 20:03 in the morning and say, 20:04 "Come on, it's time to go to church." 20:06 "I want to sleep in." "No, you picked it." 20:09 That's pretty good. Take that as a tip, parents. 20:11 I like that. 20:13 They are the ones who picked it. 20:15 Well, I just want to say thank you 20:16 from 3ABN side 20:18 that we really appreciate your support 20:20 as a leader in this church, 20:21 for your support of this series 20:23 but this gentleman is faithfully here. 20:26 He's early, he stays late, 20:28 and he is an integral part as Jill mentioned to the church 20:30 and to the series. 20:32 And his wife, I just have to throw this in, 20:33 is a great cook 20:35 because we're being fed every evening at five o'clock, 20:38 the crew we come in 20:39 and we get to eat before the meeting. 20:41 And your wife has been one of the cooks 20:42 and she does a great job. 20:44 Yes, she has. Yeah. 20:46 That's why I married her. 20:48 Actually, my wife 20:50 and I've known each other 60 years. 20:51 We met each other 20:53 our freshman year in the academy. 20:54 Wow. What academy? Campion. 20:56 And you've been married how many years then? 20:58 Fifty-two. Wow, congratulations. 21:00 That's a lifetime together, that's precious. 21:02 So just a quick question then for you regarding evangelism, 21:05 obviously you feel that evangelism is important 21:07 but why is it important? 21:10 Well, we're told to spread the message. 21:12 Yeah. 21:13 And with Pathways to Health being here this year, 21:17 we've tried to take as many Adventists 21:19 as we can to incorporate it into our church 21:23 and into our ministry here. 21:25 Amen. 21:26 And I believe when evangelism takes place too, 21:28 the church grows, you know, not only 21:29 because souls are coming in but people are encouraged 21:32 when they're out sharing God's Word with others 21:34 that makes your own personal experience 21:36 grow and blossom. 21:37 Yes, it does. Amen. 21:39 We just want to say thank you 21:41 again for your support of this evangelistic series, 21:43 for your hard work. 21:44 And we just appreciate your leadership here 21:46 in this local church. 21:47 It's a real blessing. 21:48 We just love you and your wife 21:50 and we're so blessed to be here. 21:52 We're going now to an interview. 21:53 Angie Lomacang sat down with Mark and Peggy 21:55 who are members of the church here, 21:57 helping with some of that follow up 21:59 with Pathway to Health. 22:01 And let's listen to that interview now. 22:03 Hello, I'm at the Paradise Valley 22:05 Seventh-day Adventist Church here in Phoenix, Arizona 22:08 where the meetings are being held every night. 22:11 And we have two wonderful people, 22:14 Mark and Peggy Medhus, 22:17 and they are members here at this church. 22:20 Now have you both been enjoying the meetings? 22:23 How is it going? 22:24 Have you been, I know you're Adventist, 22:26 but how has it been for you learning or relearning? 22:31 I came to do the eyeglasses, 22:33 but then the meetings had all these stories 22:35 and all these good examples in there 22:37 and I just stayed afterwards 'cause they were so good. 22:39 Amen. 22:41 I just feel like 22:42 it's a good reminder of what we've learned, 22:45 it refreshes your spirit and just makes things 22:48 alive again to have Jesus all over again. 22:51 Amen. It's beautiful. 22:53 Now also, I'm noticing people 22:55 from the community are coming in here 22:58 and they're lining up. 22:59 And there are tables here and they are receiving glasses, 23:03 and glucose, and tell us about that, please? 23:07 Around Christmas time, 23:09 the Pathway to Health people set up a mobile hospital 23:12 in the Phoenix Convention Center. 23:14 And they gave away 23:15 dental services, and medical services, 23:17 and eyeglasses services where they took a prescription 23:21 and they let the people choose their frames. 23:23 These prescriptions were sent off 23:27 to Texas where they were made 23:29 and they came back about a week ago. 23:31 And we have 600 here that we are making. 23:35 So we have 600 visitors coming to our church, 23:38 and that is an outreach. 23:40 And when they pick out their glasses, 23:42 we invite them to stay for the meetings. 23:43 Amen. 23:44 Many of them have stayed and it's great. 23:46 And it's a lot of fun 'cause when we down almost 600, 23:48 they were all disheveled 23:50 and we had our whole house spread out 23:51 with like boxes all over surrounding in here. 23:53 Now we've put them in the boxes in there behind us in 23:56 and we have people come in, 23:58 we can find service a person a minute. 24:00 Wow. And it's really fast. 24:02 And it's the most fun 24:03 I've had just passing out glasses to people 24:05 that really need them and appreciate them. 24:06 Wow. 24:08 What joy must be 24:09 when they put on their new pair of glasses. 24:10 They smile. 24:12 You can see like they put them on, 24:13 and they are like pausing in they're looking around, 24:15 and suddenly there face glows, and they can see. 24:18 And then I make them sign for the glasses. 24:22 And then they come in to hear the Word of God. 24:24 It's just beautiful. 24:26 Anyway, thank you so much for what you're doing 24:28 for the work of the Lord. 24:30 And God bless you 24:31 as you reach out to people in this community. 24:35 Thank you. 24:36 What a great interview 24:38 with Angie, and Mark, and Peggy. 24:39 And praise the Lord, 600 pairs of glasses 24:41 they're giving out to people who come in. 24:43 Well, we're down to the end of the program 24:45 and as you can see behind us, 24:46 people coming in for the evening meeting. 24:48 And, Tim, this is our last evening with you 24:51 because you have another project 24:53 to get going with. 24:54 I'm going to be working on the new project 24:55 that we've talked at Three Angels Message Project 24:59 for camp meeting. 25:00 Exactly.
