Hello and welcome to
iSITE program number 14.
00:00:06.13\00:00:08.90
We're Greg and Jill
Morikone, and we've had another
00:00:08.94\00:00:11.44
wonderful day here
in Phoenix, Arizona.
00:00:11.47\00:00:14.28
And for the evangelistic
series Pathway to Life,
00:00:14.31\00:00:17.25
and it's a blessing to
be a part of this series,
00:00:17.28\00:00:20.32
go to the different churches,
00:00:20.35\00:00:21.68
and you may see a
background behind us
00:00:21.72\00:00:23.25
that you haven't
recognized before.
00:00:23.28\00:00:25.39
We're at the Chandler
Seventh-day Adventist Church
00:00:25.42\00:00:28.06
in a beautiful area
here and a beautiful church
00:00:28.09\00:00:30.33
with beautiful people.
00:00:30.36\00:00:31.89
We have Pastor Kenny
Shelton and Sister Chris,
00:00:31.93\00:00:34.73
your wonderful wife, with us.
00:00:34.76\00:00:36.10
And we're so glad to
be here at your church.
00:00:36.13\00:00:38.63
And we want just to get a
little report of how things
00:00:38.67\00:00:40.54
are going here at this church.
00:00:40.57\00:00:41.90
Oh, wow, it has been a blessing.
00:00:41.94\00:00:44.97
It's been a struggle at
times, you know, we've had...
00:00:45.01\00:00:48.28
We always know that
you're in a spiritual warfare
00:00:48.31\00:00:50.38
when you're
working for the Lord,
00:00:50.41\00:00:52.15
but some of the
most miraculous things
00:00:52.18\00:00:54.85
that we'll ever
see in our lifetime
00:00:54.88\00:00:56.95
is that of a changed heart.
00:00:56.99\00:00:58.89
And we've seen
many changed hearts,
00:00:58.92\00:01:01.46
people that are just coming up
00:01:01.49\00:01:03.29
and saying they want a
closer walk with Jesus.
00:01:03.32\00:01:06.19
There's one man Doug,
00:01:06.23\00:01:08.96
hasn't he been coming on
and off for 20 years now?
00:01:09.00\00:01:11.67
Twenty-two
years. Twenty-two years.
00:01:11.70\00:01:13.03
Twenty-two years,
00:01:13.07\00:01:14.40
and we've just encouraged
him that's a little bit long,
00:01:14.44\00:01:16.50
and he needs to make a decision,
00:01:16.54\00:01:18.67
and he's looking it over,
00:01:18.71\00:01:20.08
and tonight,
he's going to tell us.
00:01:20.11\00:01:21.44
He finally did.
So that's a blessing.
00:01:21.48\00:01:22.81
Praise the Lord.
00:01:22.84\00:01:24.18
Absolutely, so God is
working, God is working.
00:01:24.21\00:01:25.98
Amen.
00:01:26.01\00:01:27.35
Oh, we have seen people,
their hearts and lives changed.
00:01:27.38\00:01:30.89
You know, I heard Pastor
CA, not long ago, he said,
00:01:30.92\00:01:35.66
"A lot of the
people have stuff."
00:01:35.69\00:01:38.13
And, you know,
that's what happens,
00:01:38.16\00:01:39.76
and a lot of times when
the Holy Spirit is moving,
00:01:39.79\00:01:42.80
He impresses upon the heart
00:01:42.83\00:01:44.47
that we need to lay
that stuff at His feet.
00:01:44.50\00:01:48.17
So we've seen that
from night to night.
00:01:48.20\00:01:50.91
And so far, we have several
00:01:50.94\00:01:52.31
that have taken the
stand wanting to be baptized.
00:01:52.34\00:01:55.01
We're looking
forward to that this Sabbath.
00:01:55.04\00:01:56.58
Yes.
00:01:56.61\00:01:57.95
And as we mentioned though,
it's not been an easy road.
00:01:57.98\00:02:01.72
Pastor Kenny, you can tell,
00:02:01.75\00:02:03.35
and any of you that have
been watching by on the website,
00:02:03.39\00:02:07.32
you know that his voice
has changed quite a bit.
00:02:07.36\00:02:09.89
Yes.
00:02:09.92\00:02:11.26
He has been so so
sick this past week.
00:02:11.29\00:02:15.50
Anyway, but by God's
grace, he is still going.
00:02:15.53\00:02:18.63
In fact, someone decided to call
00:02:18.67\00:02:21.64
all the elders together,
so we took the Bible road,
00:02:21.67\00:02:25.27
and we did the path
00:02:25.31\00:02:26.71
and the Holy
Spirit was so strong.
00:02:26.74\00:02:30.71
And when we were
in there, they said,
00:02:30.75\00:02:33.31
"We want to
anoint your wife too."
00:02:33.35\00:02:36.02
And when I got
up, it was just...
00:02:36.05\00:02:37.65
You just wanted
to shout hallelujah
00:02:37.69\00:02:39.69
'cause you could feel
00:02:39.72\00:02:41.06
the power of the Holy
Spirit, and it was felt.
00:02:41.09\00:02:43.12
I think you did. I did.
00:02:43.16\00:02:44.63
Yeah. That's right.
00:02:44.66\00:02:45.99
I did a little bit. It was good.
00:02:46.03\00:02:47.50
It was.
00:02:47.53\00:02:48.86
You know, we
thank the Lord for it,
00:02:48.90\00:02:50.97
and having a wife
and also all of the
00:02:51.00\00:02:52.60
natural things, I
mean, she has really been
00:02:52.63\00:02:55.07
putting the things
down my throat till
00:02:55.10\00:02:57.34
I've actually
begged mercy several times,
00:02:57.37\00:02:59.27
"Please, no more."
00:02:59.31\00:03:00.64
But I know that I need them
00:03:00.68\00:03:02.01
because these
meetings had to be finished
00:03:02.04\00:03:03.45
and they need to be
finished in the power
00:03:03.48\00:03:05.11
and in might of God.
00:03:05.15\00:03:06.85
And that's His plan for us,
00:03:06.88\00:03:08.22
and I know 3ABN is
going to be a blessing.
00:03:08.25\00:03:10.99
She put all this stuff together,
00:03:11.02\00:03:12.35
and we're seeing
it come to an end
00:03:12.39\00:03:14.72
that God's going bless
mightily, He already has.
00:03:14.76\00:03:16.89
We've enjoyed ourselves,
and I kind of felt like
00:03:16.93\00:03:19.83
maybe this is maybe more for me
00:03:19.86\00:03:21.30
that even the
folks here sometime.
00:03:21.33\00:03:22.66
Oh, wow.
00:03:22.70\00:03:24.03
I don't know if
you ever feel that way
00:03:24.07\00:03:25.40
when you're working for others,
00:03:25.43\00:03:26.77
I just feel
that tug on my heart,
00:03:26.80\00:03:28.20
and I'm thankful for that.
00:03:28.24\00:03:29.94
You know, we have really bonded
with some of the people here.
00:03:29.97\00:03:33.27
And last night,
00:03:33.31\00:03:34.64
when I was
walking through the halls
00:03:34.68\00:03:36.51
and I heard one of
the ladies talk about
00:03:36.54\00:03:38.31
working with the
kids, and they said,
00:03:38.35\00:03:40.38
"Oh, boy, you
know, three more nights,
00:03:40.42\00:03:42.48
you'll know why I quit
my day-job after this."
00:03:42.52\00:03:45.55
So if we could just
make it by three more nights,
00:03:45.59\00:03:47.72
and then after the anointing,
00:03:47.76\00:03:49.36
the Holy Spirit was so strong
and I got up and I thought,
00:03:49.39\00:03:52.29
"Three more nights in
the presence of the Lord
00:03:52.33\00:03:54.86
is just not long enough."
00:03:54.90\00:03:57.47
And there were many
that agreed with me.
00:03:57.50\00:04:01.24
In fact, several
have asked that we stay
00:04:01.27\00:04:03.64
and he's been
offered a job here.
00:04:03.67\00:04:06.37
But we're coming
home, we're coming home.
00:04:06.41\00:04:08.68
We need them home,
it's very important.
00:04:08.71\00:04:11.58
We need you all back at home.
00:04:11.61\00:04:12.95
But praise the
Lord what He's doing,
00:04:12.98\00:04:14.95
how He's standing you up,
and how He's empowering you
00:04:14.98\00:04:18.35
to speak for Him night by night.
00:04:18.39\00:04:20.49
That's incredible.
00:04:20.52\00:04:21.86
You know, we're in
a spiritual battle,
00:04:21.89\00:04:23.89
we don't wrestle
against flesh and blood
00:04:23.93\00:04:25.59
but against, you know,
00:04:25.63\00:04:26.96
those principalities and
wickedness in high places,
00:04:27.00\00:04:28.80
but praise the Lord, He has won,
00:04:28.83\00:04:31.60
and He is victorious
00:04:31.63\00:04:33.37
and just seeing
that and seeing you two,
00:04:33.40\00:04:35.50
I mean, we've
been praying for them.
00:04:35.54\00:04:37.01
Thank you.
00:04:37.04\00:04:38.37
But we haven't made
it down to Chandler,
00:04:38.41\00:04:39.91
so to be able to
come here and to see you
00:04:39.94\00:04:41.71
and to see what God is doing,
that's an incredible blessing.
00:04:41.74\00:04:45.11
And it is nice to
not have been forgotten.
00:04:45.15\00:04:47.65
Thank you.
00:04:47.68\00:04:49.02
No, you're not
forgotten, not at all.
00:04:49.05\00:04:50.39
And we so appreciate
their prayers of God saints.
00:04:50.42\00:04:54.39
In fact, somebody in New York,
00:04:54.42\00:04:56.22
they were gonna pass it around
one of the large churches there
00:04:56.26\00:04:59.16
and their prayer, and
it's just been a blessing
00:04:59.19\00:05:02.06
that people love
and care so much.
00:05:02.10\00:05:04.50
The local TV
station here today...
00:05:04.53\00:05:07.47
Good News TV? Good News TV, Yes.
00:05:07.50\00:05:10.31
Brother Skilton, he said,
00:05:10.34\00:05:11.74
he was going to put
it on their prayer list
00:05:11.77\00:05:14.24
and so it's just a blessing,
00:05:14.28\00:05:15.94
you know, because we
experience the power of prayer,
00:05:15.98\00:05:19.48
and we're so
grateful for praying saints.
00:05:19.51\00:05:21.95
Amen.
00:05:21.98\00:05:23.32
Prayer moves the
arms of God, right?
00:05:23.35\00:05:24.99
It does, absolutely.
00:05:25.02\00:05:26.35
What a privilege to
be here with you all
00:05:26.39\00:05:28.32
and we get the
privilege of going
00:05:28.36\00:05:29.69
to their church tonight too.
00:05:29.72\00:05:31.53
Right now, we're going to go
00:05:31.56\00:05:32.89
to an interview
Pastor CA Murray.
00:05:32.93\00:05:34.36
He's at Desert Cove
Seventh-day Adventist Church,
00:05:34.40\00:05:36.97
and he sat down
with a precious woman
00:05:37.00\00:05:39.07
with a wonderful testimony
of how she came to know Jesus
00:05:39.10\00:05:43.20
and became a
Seventh-day Adventist.
00:05:43.24\00:05:45.04
Let's listen to that now.
00:05:45.07\00:05:46.54
We're at the Desert Cove
Seventh-day Adventist Church,
00:05:49.94\00:05:52.45
and I'm here with Dixie Bartos.
00:05:52.48\00:05:54.28
She's got a very
interesting testimony
00:05:54.32\00:05:56.89
that we're asking her
to tell us at this time.
00:05:56.92\00:05:59.72
My mother was very ill,
and it was hard for the family.
00:05:59.75\00:06:04.26
But the doctor
thought that she had cancer.
00:06:04.29\00:06:07.20
But when she had her surgery
00:06:07.23\00:06:09.13
we found out that it was benign.
00:06:09.16\00:06:11.67
And she was just
praising God in the hospital.
00:06:11.70\00:06:15.30
And two women come in
00:06:15.34\00:06:16.67
that were giving out literature,
00:06:16.71\00:06:18.84
and nurses said,
"Go see that woman."
00:06:18.87\00:06:23.14
And they did and
she read the literature,
00:06:23.18\00:06:26.31
and she was impressed.
00:06:26.35\00:06:28.98
And when she got to go home,
00:06:29.02\00:06:30.89
she looked up a
scientology church
00:06:30.92\00:06:34.46
and, before long,
we were attending it.
00:06:34.49\00:06:38.13
And one Sabbath, we
drove into the parking lot.
00:06:38.16\00:06:42.90
My mother and I got out
00:06:42.93\00:06:44.27
the passenger
side of the seat...
00:06:44.30\00:06:46.40
The car. And a
man walked up to us.
00:06:46.43\00:06:49.60
He didn't looked like
he was dressed for church,
00:06:49.64\00:06:51.41
and he's in a
church parking lot.
00:06:51.44\00:06:53.64
And he said to my mother,
00:06:53.68\00:06:56.04
"I'd like to
introduce you to someone."
00:06:56.08\00:06:58.48
And she said,
00:06:58.51\00:07:01.22
"You don't have
anybody with you.
00:07:01.25\00:07:03.18
Who do you want
to introduce me to?"
00:07:03.22\00:07:05.12
So her and I, we kind
of turned away from him
00:07:05.15\00:07:08.42
and we were both
thinking the same thing,
00:07:08.46\00:07:10.83
"We're going to
church, we know Jesus."
00:07:10.86\00:07:13.46
But he didn't look
like he was going to church,
00:07:13.50\00:07:15.70
he wasn't dressed for it.
00:07:15.73\00:07:17.80
And so I was
gonna just turn around
00:07:17.83\00:07:21.30
and face him and tell
what we were thinking.
00:07:21.34\00:07:24.21
And when I did he'd vanished.
00:07:24.24\00:07:27.18
We looked up and
down and all over.
00:07:27.21\00:07:29.14
No, he was gone. We
went on into church.
00:07:29.18\00:07:33.25
And after church,
00:07:33.28\00:07:34.62
on the way home,
my mother said to me,
00:07:34.65\00:07:37.92
"We are in the wrong church."
And I said, "What do you mean?"
00:07:37.95\00:07:42.32
And she said, "The
pastor always says,
00:07:42.36\00:07:47.10
'Jesus is the rose of sharing,
he's the one altogether lovely'
00:07:47.13\00:07:51.83
but not calling
him the son of God,
00:07:51.87\00:07:54.04
I know He's the Son
of God", my mother said.
00:07:54.07\00:07:58.34
And I fell she was right.
00:07:58.37\00:08:00.91
So when we got
home and ate lunch,
00:08:00.94\00:08:03.21
the first thing she did
00:08:03.24\00:08:04.71
was look in the newspaper to see
00:08:04.75\00:08:07.08
if she could find another church
00:08:07.12\00:08:09.68
for us to attend.
00:08:09.72\00:08:11.82
And she was so
excited, she said,
00:08:11.85\00:08:15.16
"Really, they're
starting meetings tonight,
00:08:15.19\00:08:19.89
I don't know what church
it is, but it's wonderful.
00:08:19.93\00:08:23.20
This is a starting night
and we can go to all of them."
00:08:23.23\00:08:26.37
And we went, and
God has been so good.
00:08:26.40\00:08:30.21
He answered all of our questions
00:08:30.24\00:08:32.81
through the church.
00:08:32.84\00:08:34.34
And after all these years,
00:08:34.38\00:08:38.15
we are still
praising Him every day
00:08:38.18\00:08:41.68
that He led us,
perhaps, with an angel.
00:08:41.72\00:08:47.16
Thank you, Lord. Amen and amen.
00:08:47.19\00:08:52.89
What a wonderful testimony.
00:08:52.93\00:08:55.00
What an introduction
00:08:55.03\00:08:56.36
to the
Seventh-day Adventist Church.
00:08:56.40\00:08:57.80
And come back,
Dixie, come back, come back.
00:08:57.83\00:09:02.64
How many years ago was that?
00:09:02.67\00:09:04.57
It was like '64.
00:09:08.71\00:09:12.71
My husband I were just
dating, and he was Catholic.
00:09:12.75\00:09:16.95
And he went to
part of the meetings,
00:09:16.99\00:09:19.19
but after a while, he
said, "You know, I'm a Catholic
00:09:19.22\00:09:22.39
and my Bible's Douay
00:09:22.42\00:09:24.19
and it's probably different
than that one, so I won't go."
00:09:24.23\00:09:28.23
And so I said, "Well,
you know, it's up to you."
00:09:28.26\00:09:31.13
But when they gave
the mark of the beast
00:09:31.17\00:09:33.27
I told him, it
was on Saturday night,
00:09:33.30\00:09:34.84
I said, "I've got
to go, we got to go
00:09:34.87\00:09:36.91
because we got
to know what it is."
00:09:36.94\00:09:38.57
I said, "We don't
have to join the church
00:09:38.61\00:09:40.24
but we just have to know
what it is so we won't get it."
00:09:40.28\00:09:43.65
And so he went
with me, and he was mad.
00:09:43.68\00:09:48.45
I heard you
talk about being mad.
00:09:48.48\00:09:50.85
He was so upset,
00:09:50.89\00:09:52.25
and we went to have a
hamburger and talk about it.
00:09:52.29\00:09:57.23
And he said,
00:09:57.26\00:10:00.70
"I just don't
know what to think.
00:10:00.73\00:10:03.00
If I..."
00:10:03.03\00:10:04.37
He was in the air
force and he said,
00:10:04.40\00:10:05.93
"If I can go to the library
00:10:05.97\00:10:10.87
and find out,
00:10:10.91\00:10:13.91
you know,
what's really going on,
00:10:13.94\00:10:18.01
will you be a
catholic if I can convince
00:10:18.05\00:10:20.52
that they didn't
change the Sabbath?"
00:10:20.55\00:10:23.05
And I said, "Well, I
guess, we want what's right."
00:10:23.08\00:10:26.59
And so he went
down to the library
00:10:26.62\00:10:28.72
at the base at
Luke Air Force Base,
00:10:28.76\00:10:31.46
and he comes
back and a few days,
00:10:31.49\00:10:35.50
and said, "Well, I
read it for myself.
00:10:35.53\00:10:38.43
So, I guess,
we'll be Adventists."
00:10:38.47\00:10:42.77
Amen and amen.
00:10:42.80\00:10:44.41
That's another Adventist family.
00:10:44.44\00:10:46.27
We thank you so
much. Thank you, Dixie.
00:10:46.31\00:10:49.81
Thank you, Dixie
and Pastor CA Murray.
00:10:49.84\00:10:51.81
A great report coming
00:10:51.85\00:10:53.18
from the Desert Cove
Seventh-day Adventist Church.
00:10:53.21\00:10:55.75
We have moved
inside of the Chandler
00:10:55.78\00:10:57.99
Seventh-day Adventist Church
here in Chandler, Arizona.
00:10:58.02\00:11:00.12
Beautiful Sanctuary.
00:11:00.16\00:11:02.02
And we're with a
really special lady
00:11:02.06\00:11:03.76
that has an important
part here in this church.
00:11:03.79\00:11:06.96
And for the series,
we're here with Rosaline.
00:11:07.00\00:11:08.33
And how long have
00:11:08.36\00:11:09.70
you been a member of
the church here, Rosaline?
00:11:09.73\00:11:11.13
Fifty-three years
00:11:11.17\00:11:12.50
I've been a
member of this church.
00:11:12.53\00:11:14.50
And you're involved
in prayer ministry here,
00:11:14.54\00:11:17.94
so tell me about that.
00:11:17.97\00:11:19.31
Okay, prayer ministry,
well, at prayer ministry,
00:11:19.34\00:11:22.34
we get a lot of requests.
00:11:22.38\00:11:25.85
We get people
texting us requests,
00:11:25.88\00:11:29.85
and we get others
emailing the requests
00:11:29.88\00:11:33.39
and also people
call on the phone
00:11:33.42\00:11:35.96
and also on prayer line as well.
00:11:35.99\00:11:38.76
Oh, wow.
00:11:38.79\00:11:40.13
So you have like a
prayer chain here at the church?
00:11:40.16\00:11:42.80
Oh, yes. That's wonderful.
00:11:42.83\00:11:44.80
And also before
the meetings here
00:11:44.83\00:11:46.33
with Pastor Kenny
'cause we just snuck in
00:11:46.37\00:11:48.67
and saw you were all
involved in praying for them.
00:11:48.70\00:11:51.14
Oh, yes, every night,
00:11:51.17\00:11:53.44
we spend time in the prayer room
00:11:53.48\00:11:55.51
praying for Pastor Kenny.
00:11:55.54\00:11:58.15
We pray three times
during the meetings.
00:11:58.18\00:12:03.45
Amen. Yes.
00:12:03.49\00:12:04.82
So while the
evening meeting is going on,
00:12:04.85\00:12:06.42
you're praying
during the ceremony.
00:12:06.45\00:12:07.79
Oh, yes. Oh,
yes. Praise the Lord.
00:12:07.82\00:12:09.16
We're constantly praying for him
00:12:09.19\00:12:10.56
and for the
meetings and for also those
00:12:10.59\00:12:14.00
that are coming to the
meeting or are on their way.
00:12:14.03\00:12:16.06
And those that are
even in the sanctuary.
00:12:16.10\00:12:18.17
We are praying for
everybody, you know.
00:12:18.20\00:12:20.70
Have you seen answers to prayer?
00:12:20.74\00:12:22.80
Oh, yes. Oh, yes. Oh, yes.
00:12:22.84\00:12:26.98
I pray for Pastor Shelton.
00:12:27.01\00:12:30.95
He's been in a little
difficulty with the...
00:12:30.98\00:12:33.42
Yes. His health.
00:12:33.45\00:12:34.78
So I have been praying
for him for the last few days,
00:12:34.82\00:12:38.85
and he looks fantastic today.
00:12:38.89\00:12:41.32
So God has
answered that simple prayer.
00:12:41.36\00:12:43.39
Isn't that powerful?
God is standing him up.
00:12:43.43\00:12:45.89
Thank you so much
for your ministry here.
00:12:45.93\00:12:48.06
Amen.
00:12:48.10\00:12:49.43
So right now, we're going to go
00:12:49.46\00:12:50.80
to the Paradise Valley
Seventh-day Adventist Church,
00:12:50.83\00:12:53.17
and Angela
Lomacang had the opportunity
00:12:53.20\00:12:55.00
to speak with Eve
00:12:55.04\00:12:56.37
and she has an
incredible testimony.
00:12:56.40\00:12:57.74
Her husband was
recently baptized,
00:12:57.77\00:12:59.61
and let's listen to that now.
00:12:59.64\00:13:01.01
We are at Paradise Valley
Seventh-day Adventist Church
00:13:05.18\00:13:07.55
where my husband
Pastor John Lomacang
00:13:07.58\00:13:09.42
is giving the
meetings every night,
00:13:09.45\00:13:11.62
and you know what,
I'm his wife, okay?
00:13:11.65\00:13:14.32
And I am being so blessed
by the meetings here tonight.
00:13:14.36\00:13:18.46
Now how have the
meetings been for you?
00:13:18.49\00:13:20.30
This wonderful
sister in the Lord,
00:13:20.33\00:13:22.00
she's been coming every night.
00:13:22.03\00:13:23.67
She's such a cheerful lady,
she brings me grape fruits.
00:13:23.70\00:13:27.44
But how'd these been
for you, Sister Townsend?
00:13:27.47\00:13:30.41
The meetings has been
a true blessing for me,
00:13:30.44\00:13:33.58
as well as for my
family, my husband especially
00:13:33.61\00:13:36.85
because he just
got baptized last year
00:13:36.88\00:13:39.88
into the church, and so
this has opened his eyes
00:13:39.91\00:13:42.72
to a lot of understanding
00:13:42.75\00:13:44.45
of what God desires
for us and the requirements
00:13:44.49\00:13:48.72
that we had
asked him to help us.
00:13:48.76\00:13:52.66
I have been so richly blessed.
00:13:52.69\00:13:55.56
I just want to jump up and down.
00:13:55.60\00:13:57.33
It gives me such a
blessing to hear him speak
00:13:57.37\00:14:00.84
and how even some of
them stepped on my toes,
00:14:00.87\00:14:04.01
and I praise God
for the toe-stepper
00:14:04.04\00:14:06.61
'cause he's
preparing me for the kingdom.
00:14:06.64\00:14:08.58
That's right.
00:14:08.61\00:14:09.94
I also have been sharing
when he has been telling me
00:14:09.98\00:14:13.58
with others and
passing out the flyers
00:14:13.62\00:14:17.35
and books and
inviting people to come out
00:14:17.39\00:14:20.02
to hear his message.
00:14:20.06\00:14:21.92
I just praise God
that one soul will reach,
00:14:21.96\00:14:25.69
maybe two, maybe even three,
00:14:25.73\00:14:27.36
may reach from the
literature that I passed out.
00:14:27.40\00:14:30.97
I also look
forward to the few lessons
00:14:31.00\00:14:34.50
that I learned and I'm
sad that it is almost over.
00:14:34.54\00:14:38.74
I wish it could go on for
another two or three weeks.
00:14:38.77\00:14:42.18
But most of all,
I just praise God
00:14:42.21\00:14:44.28
because God is good
00:14:44.31\00:14:45.65
and He has blessed
so much in His message,
00:14:45.68\00:14:49.18
and I pray for the souls
that were baptized last night.
00:14:49.22\00:14:52.92
That was a blessing.
00:14:52.95\00:14:54.29
It all has been
a blessing to me,
00:14:54.32\00:14:56.96
and I know everyone
has been richly blessed.
00:14:56.99\00:15:00.40
Amen.
00:15:00.43\00:15:01.76
So I just praise
God for his work,
00:15:01.80\00:15:04.73
and I praise God for this Sister
00:15:04.77\00:15:07.27
that she will
continue to push her husband
00:15:07.30\00:15:10.41
to do His will.
00:15:10.44\00:15:11.84
Yeah. Amen.
00:15:11.87\00:15:13.21
Thank you, Sister Townsend.
00:15:13.24\00:15:14.58
Continue to walk
00:15:14.61\00:15:15.94
in the path of Lord has for you.
00:15:15.98\00:15:18.15
And as the song says,
what, "Trust and Obey."
00:15:18.18\00:15:23.85
Welcome to Paradise Valley
Seventh-day Adventist Church,
00:15:23.89\00:15:26.15
and I'm with Yolanda Nichols,
00:15:26.19\00:15:27.99
and she's been a
wonderful blessing
00:15:28.02\00:15:29.69
in the kitchen
00:15:29.72\00:15:31.06
and been such a
help every evening.
00:15:31.09\00:15:34.20
Have you been
attending the meetings?
00:15:34.23\00:15:35.93
I've been
listening on the outside.
00:15:35.96\00:15:37.90
Yes. Yes, very...
00:15:37.93\00:15:39.27
I've enjoyed it
very much so, yes.
00:15:39.30\00:15:41.27
She came to me and says,
"I'm going to miss this."
00:15:41.30\00:15:43.71
And so I'm glad that
00:15:43.74\00:15:45.07
you've been listening
to the programs and...
00:15:45.11\00:15:46.84
It's been great. It's
been a very good blessing.
00:15:46.88\00:15:49.24
Amen. Amen. Yes. Yes.
00:15:49.28\00:15:51.38
And you've been
a blessing to us.
00:15:51.41\00:15:53.48
And she's been in the
kitchen with the crew of people.
00:15:53.52\00:15:56.18
We got a good crew. Yeah.
00:15:56.22\00:15:57.75
We have a good crew.
00:15:57.79\00:15:59.12
Been feeding our
crew in the evening,
00:15:59.15\00:16:01.56
and we just thank God
00:16:01.59\00:16:02.92
for what you've been
doing for 3ABN, the staff,
00:16:02.96\00:16:06.19
and thank you for
working and doing all that
00:16:06.23\00:16:09.03
you have done for
the cause of the Lord.
00:16:09.06\00:16:11.77
It's been a pleasure. Amen.
00:16:11.80\00:16:13.50
Yes. Yes. Thank you again.
00:16:13.54\00:16:15.47
Thank you so much.
00:16:15.50\00:16:18.17
What great reports
00:16:18.21\00:16:19.54
from the Paradise
Valley SDA Church.
00:16:19.57\00:16:21.14
And Yolly and her
team have been feeding us
00:16:21.18\00:16:23.45
and doing a wonderful job.
00:16:23.48\00:16:25.11
That's so true. It
is. It's wonderful.
00:16:25.15\00:16:27.15
Well, we're here
with Ingram London,
00:16:27.18\00:16:29.78
and you are the
personal ministries director
00:16:29.82\00:16:32.52
of the church here.
00:16:32.55\00:16:33.89
And tell us the flavor of how...
00:16:33.92\00:16:35.26
I know we're coming toward
the end of the series now,
00:16:35.29\00:16:37.13
and how has been the
response here at the church?
00:16:37.16\00:16:39.83
You know, the response
has been kind of surprising.
00:16:39.86\00:16:42.63
It's been amazing.
00:16:42.66\00:16:44.00
It's been amazing to
see how God has been working
00:16:44.03\00:16:46.50
in the church not only
have we been able to reach
00:16:46.53\00:16:48.57
some people in the community
00:16:48.60\00:16:50.17
but also it's been a
revival for the church itself
00:16:50.21\00:16:52.61
and it's really creating a
culture of evangelism for us.
00:16:52.64\00:16:55.74
So we're excited
about the meetings,
00:16:55.78\00:16:57.58
we're also excited about
00:16:57.61\00:16:58.95
what happens
next, the follow-up,
00:16:58.98\00:17:00.32
the Bible studies,
00:17:00.35\00:17:01.68
all the wonderful things
that God is doing for us.
00:17:01.72\00:17:04.35
We appreciate your
role in how you have helped
00:17:04.39\00:17:06.62
make this possible
here at this church.
00:17:06.65\00:17:08.39
I know it's been a team effort.
00:17:08.42\00:17:09.76
We think of the head
Elder Danny, Elder Danny,
00:17:09.79\00:17:12.03
we think of your AV person,
00:17:12.06\00:17:13.40
he's just
standing right here off
00:17:13.43\00:17:14.76
to my left Jeffery, I
know it's the team effort
00:17:14.80\00:17:16.90
to make
something like this happen,
00:17:16.93\00:17:18.27
and of course
the Lord Jesus Christ
00:17:18.30\00:17:19.80
is number one
who we need to thank,
00:17:19.83\00:17:21.94
and we appreciate you
and what you have done here
00:17:21.97\00:17:24.24
for the series.
00:17:24.27\00:17:25.61
Absolutely. Amen.
00:17:25.64\00:17:27.74
And right now, we're going
00:17:27.78\00:17:29.11
to the Phoenix
Central SDA Church,
00:17:29.14\00:17:31.55
and J.D. had the
opportunity here to sit down
00:17:31.58\00:17:33.78
with a husband and wife team.
00:17:33.82\00:17:35.48
Oh, it's a great team.
00:17:35.52\00:17:36.85
Debee and Allen,
00:17:36.89\00:17:38.35
and Allen even I
think he's gonna play
00:17:38.39\00:17:40.32
a little Guitar.
00:17:40.36\00:17:41.69
So let's listen to
their interview now.
00:17:41.72\00:17:46.90
Debee's got one
of the best smiles
00:17:46.93\00:17:48.96
I've ever seen in the world.
00:17:49.00\00:17:50.70
And her responsibility here,
00:17:50.73\00:17:52.47
one of her
responsibilities is now
00:17:52.50\00:17:54.67
I'm finding out she has many,
but one of her responsibilities
00:17:54.70\00:17:57.87
is that she is the head greeter.
00:17:57.91\00:17:59.91
And so God has certainly
graced this precious lady
00:17:59.94\00:18:03.08
that whenever
you being a stranger
00:18:03.11\00:18:06.18
comes to this church,
one of the first things
00:18:06.21\00:18:08.45
you see is this beautiful smile,
00:18:08.48\00:18:10.95
and there's nothing
prideful about that,
00:18:10.99\00:18:12.95
this is just who
this precious lady is.
00:18:12.99\00:18:15.22
How long have you
been coming here, Debee?
00:18:15.26\00:18:17.43
Actually, at the
end of this month,
00:18:17.46\00:18:18.79
it would be five years.
00:18:18.83\00:18:20.16
Five years. And
what all do you do here?
00:18:20.20\00:18:23.00
Well, just
whatever needs to be done.
00:18:23.03\00:18:24.67
It's one thing I
love about this church,
00:18:24.70\00:18:26.60
everybody just
pitches in and helps out.
00:18:26.63\00:18:29.50
And you find a need
00:18:29.54\00:18:30.94
and you just fill
it, and it's like,
00:18:30.97\00:18:33.51
here, people
care about each other.
00:18:33.54\00:18:35.84
You just, I don't know,
you find out somebody's sick,
00:18:35.88\00:18:38.98
you want to pray for them.
00:18:39.01\00:18:40.35
If you find out, you
know, where they are,
00:18:40.38\00:18:41.78
you want to go visit
them and just you miss them
00:18:41.82\00:18:45.25
because everybody has
00:18:45.29\00:18:46.62
such a purpose
here at our church.
00:18:46.65\00:18:50.09
It's just we are church family.
00:18:50.13\00:18:53.19
And what Debbe is
saying here is exactly true,
00:18:53.23\00:18:55.96
and not only through
Debee do you hear this,
00:18:56.00\00:18:58.33
but it seems like as you visit
with the different members,
00:18:58.37\00:19:01.67
they all want to give you a hug,
00:19:01.70\00:19:03.20
they all want to ask
you what can we do for you,
00:19:03.24\00:19:05.81
do you have a need,
00:19:05.84\00:19:07.18
well, we know
someone to fill it.
00:19:07.21\00:19:08.78
And so this is just a
wonderful wonderful gift
00:19:08.81\00:19:12.85
that the Lord has equipped
this church with having.
00:19:12.88\00:19:17.22
What do you think
about these meetings
00:19:17.25\00:19:18.62
that we are having now, Debee?
00:19:18.65\00:19:19.99
Oh, I love them, and
Shelley is such a blessing,
00:19:20.02\00:19:22.42
both of you are.
00:19:22.46\00:19:23.79
But, I mean, you
can tell, she is...
00:19:23.83\00:19:26.29
Her testimony to this church
00:19:26.33\00:19:27.86
that the Holy
Spirit is working here
00:19:27.90\00:19:29.76
because there are so many times
that she should have missed
00:19:29.80\00:19:32.70
this whole meeting.
00:19:32.73\00:19:34.94
You know, since
the day she got here,
00:19:34.97\00:19:36.81
she'd already had
this cold for two weeks.
00:19:36.84\00:19:39.41
And then she's had to
go to the emergency room
00:19:39.44\00:19:41.41
and then emerging care,
00:19:41.44\00:19:43.24
had doctor to get bronchial test
00:19:43.28\00:19:45.85
and everything
just to get her here,
00:19:45.88\00:19:47.58
and then she
does the whole thing
00:19:47.62\00:19:49.48
without even coughing
and just gets through it.
00:19:49.52\00:19:52.55
She's just such a blessing.
00:19:52.59\00:19:54.42
I just...
00:19:54.46\00:19:55.79
Oh, I know, she's
just amazing to us too
00:19:55.82\00:19:57.76
but then again, there
are so many times in our life
00:19:57.79\00:20:00.40
that we underestimate
the power of Jesus Christ.
00:20:00.43\00:20:03.23
Oh, yes.
00:20:03.26\00:20:04.60
You know, we
need to believe in God
00:20:04.63\00:20:07.90
and just allow
him to be our leader.
00:20:07.94\00:20:11.37
Amen. Amen.
00:20:11.41\00:20:12.87
Well, I just want to
thank you again, Debee, for...
00:20:12.91\00:20:15.28
Anything else you'd
like to say in closing?
00:20:15.31\00:20:17.15
I'm just so glad
you both are here.
00:20:17.18\00:20:18.88
Oh, well, you know, this is...
00:20:18.91\00:20:21.68
God has a way of
working everything out.
00:20:21.72\00:20:24.15
But once again,
from Phoenix Central,
00:20:24.19\00:20:26.12
we just want to
thank you so much
00:20:26.15\00:20:28.26
for spending this time with us.
00:20:28.29\00:20:29.79
God bless.
00:20:29.82\00:20:31.16
Now I have with me a friend
in the making, Allen King.
00:20:31.19\00:20:35.20
And Allen is just
gifted with his guitar.
00:20:35.23\00:20:38.23
And I know that sometimes
00:20:38.27\00:20:40.10
we feel like we're
more comfortable with music
00:20:40.14\00:20:42.80
than we are just
in speaking itself.
00:20:42.84\00:20:45.11
But at first I
want to ask Allen,
00:20:45.14\00:20:47.14
how long have you
been coming to this church?
00:20:47.18\00:20:48.71
I've been coming
here for about five years.
00:20:48.74\00:20:51.28
Five years, and
what all do you did?
00:20:51.31\00:20:53.55
Well, I'm the head deacon.
00:20:53.58\00:20:55.48
I've been head
deacon for last three years,
00:20:55.52\00:20:58.65
and that tells a lot
00:20:58.69\00:21:01.96
from getting the church
ready to go on Sabbaths,
00:21:01.99\00:21:05.79
being here for these
meetings to help out with these.
00:21:05.83\00:21:10.00
And I want to ask one more thing
00:21:10.03\00:21:11.37
before we're go
into some music here.
00:21:11.40\00:21:14.20
What are these meetings
mean to Phoenix Central?
00:21:14.24\00:21:17.31
Well, they mean a lot.
00:21:17.34\00:21:18.67
They have firm
what we teach here
00:21:18.71\00:21:22.51
at Phoenix
Central in our Revelation
00:21:22.54\00:21:24.75
and Daniel seminars
00:21:24.78\00:21:26.72
and in our
Sabbath school lessons
00:21:26.75\00:21:29.22
and also in our
sermons on Sabbath.
00:21:29.25\00:21:33.42
It's really a blessing to
have 3ABN here and Shelley.
00:21:33.46\00:21:39.33
You really learn a lot
00:21:40.63\00:21:42.03
and I have in these
past several meetings.
00:21:42.06\00:21:45.13
Amen.
00:21:45.17\00:21:46.50
Now I just want to
take a few minutes,
00:21:46.53\00:21:48.30
I'm just gonna hold the
microphone over the guitar
00:21:48.34\00:21:51.27
because I'd like
for Allen to go out
00:21:51.31\00:21:53.88
and playing
some beautiful music.
00:21:53.91\00:21:55.98
God has certainly blessed him.
00:21:56.01\00:21:57.81
Dwayne and I are
here at Phoenix Central
00:22:45.53\00:22:47.33
and we're just
taking a few minutes
00:22:47.36\00:22:48.76
just to kind of go
over some of the things
00:22:48.80\00:22:51.10
he does here, some
of his responsibilities.
00:22:51.13\00:22:53.77
I know that Dwayne,
00:22:53.80\00:22:55.14
he's responsible for
getting people to church.
00:22:55.17\00:22:57.67
And what else do you
do around here, Dwayne?
00:22:57.71\00:23:00.61
Sabbath school teacher,
00:23:00.64\00:23:03.21
and security when necessary,
00:23:03.24\00:23:07.95
parking lot
attendant when necessary,
00:23:07.98\00:23:11.82
and whatever
else needs to be done.
00:23:11.85\00:23:14.56
So you're one of these people
that is a call duty person.
00:23:14.59\00:23:18.33
If there is something needs
to be done, "Where's Dwayne?"
00:23:18.36\00:23:21.56
"Where's
Dwayne?" Yes. That's it.
00:23:21.60\00:23:23.26
Well, first of all,
00:23:23.30\00:23:24.63
I would thank that it
takes a very patient personality
00:23:24.67\00:23:28.30
to be able to be a
Sabbath school teacher
00:23:28.34\00:23:30.27
for the youth.
00:23:30.31\00:23:31.64
I love the kids.
They are a lot of fun.
00:23:31.67\00:23:34.21
And what people don't realize
is that they have a brain
00:23:34.24\00:23:38.55
and make them think.
00:23:38.58\00:23:39.91
Just because they're young,
don't mean they can't think.
00:23:39.95\00:23:43.05
And they will try you, so
you just got to be patient.
00:23:43.08\00:23:47.79
Amen. Amen.
00:23:47.82\00:23:49.42
And of course, you
know that we are having
00:23:49.46\00:23:50.79
the evangelistic series
because you bring people here
00:23:50.83\00:23:53.76
whenever they
can't find a way here
00:23:53.80\00:23:56.16
again we call Dwayne.
00:23:56.20\00:23:58.23
Yes. "We can trust Dwayne."
00:23:58.27\00:24:01.44
So the evangelistic
series that we are having here
00:24:01.47\00:24:04.14
with Shelley Quinn with 3ABN,
with the Arizona conference,
00:24:04.17\00:24:08.58
what do you think
about the meetings?
00:24:08.61\00:24:11.21
Oh, they're great.
00:24:11.25\00:24:13.08
She surprised me
00:24:13.11\00:24:15.15
'cause she is a
very good speaker
00:24:15.18\00:24:17.82
and very motivational,
I love it, it's great.
00:24:17.85\00:24:22.42
I already asked
her to come back.
00:24:22.46\00:24:24.99
So yeah, so whenever
00:24:25.03\00:24:27.10
you all can come
back, just come back.
00:24:27.13\00:24:30.10
Well, wonderful reports
00:24:30.13\00:24:31.47
from the Phoenix Central
Seventh-day Adventist Church
00:24:31.50\00:24:33.60
where Shelly and J.D.
Quinn are ministering there.
00:24:33.64\00:24:35.80
Absolutely.
00:24:35.84\00:24:37.17
It was a blessing
to hear from Dwayne,
00:24:37.21\00:24:38.77
to hear his love
for young people,
00:24:38.81\00:24:41.01
and he's active,
00:24:41.04\00:24:42.84
how he's active in the
church and participating.
00:24:42.88\00:24:45.18
So praise the Lord for that.
00:24:45.21\00:24:46.55
Very involved for
sure in the local church.
00:24:46.58\00:24:48.12
Absolutely.
00:24:48.15\00:24:49.48
It's hard to
believe we're getting down
00:24:49.52\00:24:50.85
to the end of our iSITE program.
00:24:50.89\00:24:52.22
I know. I know.
And we're here with...
00:24:52.25\00:24:53.59
Sister Chris and
Pastor Kenny again,
00:24:53.62\00:24:55.52
getting ready for the meeting
00:24:55.56\00:24:56.89
to start here this
evening at your church.
00:24:56.93\00:24:59.13
And what a blessing it has been.
00:24:59.16\00:25:01.03
Share with us, I know
earlier in the program,
00:25:01.06\00:25:03.10
we saw some of the prayer room.
00:25:03.13\00:25:04.97
Does that go on
every single evening?
00:25:05.00\00:25:06.33
Every night we meet
together before the program
00:25:06.37\00:25:09.60
and we have prayer
00:25:09.64\00:25:10.97
with whoever is
there, either the elders.
00:25:11.01\00:25:12.97
There is one lady that comes,
00:25:13.01\00:25:14.68
and she is such
a prayer warrior.
00:25:14.71\00:25:16.98
In fact, she and
some other women,
00:25:17.01\00:25:19.15
through the whole
program, while he's preaching,
00:25:19.18\00:25:22.48
they continue to pray.
00:25:22.52\00:25:24.25
And I think that is so important
00:25:24.29\00:25:26.55
because you know that the enemy
00:25:26.59\00:25:29.02
is trying his very
best to squeeze him
00:25:29.06\00:25:31.43
and we don't want him.
00:25:31.46\00:25:32.79
So we really appreciate
their praying, don't we?
00:25:32.83\00:25:34.56
Oh, absolutely, and
listening to her prayer
00:25:34.60\00:25:38.23
and not trying to elevate anyone
00:25:38.27\00:25:39.60
we know, but listen to her pray,
00:25:39.63\00:25:42.60
you know that she has
contact with heavenly power
00:25:42.64\00:25:46.91
because you just
hear it in the words
00:25:46.94\00:25:48.41
and then the
heart that comes out.
00:25:48.44\00:25:50.21
So we got that,
00:25:50.25\00:25:51.61
and we get on our
knees and pray along with her
00:25:51.65\00:25:53.62
that we need that kind of power,
00:25:53.65\00:25:55.22
that kind of
connection as she has,
00:25:55.25\00:25:58.15
and many of them
here in this church,
00:25:58.19\00:25:59.55
we've been blessed.
00:25:59.59\00:26:00.92
Oh, we most certainly have.
00:26:00.96\00:26:02.29
You know in the beginning,
00:26:02.32\00:26:03.66
this church didn't even know
for sure that they were going
00:26:03.69\00:26:05.89
to be involved in this campaign.
00:26:05.93\00:26:08.16
And it was just
at the beginning,
00:26:08.20\00:26:10.27
what, of February, that
they really got motivated
00:26:10.30\00:26:13.84
but praise God that they
were some motivators here.
00:26:13.87\00:26:17.67
And there were people to help
00:26:17.71\00:26:19.17
and they really
blanketed the area with flyers
00:26:19.21\00:26:22.41
and send out there pathfinders.
00:26:22.44\00:26:24.11
Pathfinders have been
helping me every night,
00:26:24.15\00:26:26.58
it's been awesome.
00:26:26.61\00:26:28.02
They have organized
the children's program,
00:26:28.05\00:26:30.55
which is so
very, very important.
00:26:30.59\00:26:32.35
Yes, it is.
00:26:32.39\00:26:33.72
So every night they have
a program for the children?
00:26:33.76\00:26:35.26
Every night, which actually,
it benefits the children,
00:26:35.29\00:26:38.79
but what a
blessing for the parents
00:26:38.83\00:26:40.20
because of the
parents are in the sanctuary
00:26:40.23\00:26:43.30
and their hearts are
being touched many times,
00:26:43.33\00:26:45.40
their focus goes to the children
00:26:45.43\00:26:46.90
trying to keep them quite.
00:26:46.94\00:26:48.27
So it's always
important to have some place
00:26:48.30\00:26:50.54
for those
children that are learning,
00:26:50.57\00:26:52.24
and the adults can learn,
00:26:52.27\00:26:53.61
and adults can make
their decisions for Jesus.
00:26:53.64\00:26:56.04
So it's been a real
blessing to be here.
00:26:56.08\00:26:58.11
We've had so many
people taking care of us.
00:26:58.15\00:27:01.62
God sent us.
00:27:01.65\00:27:02.98
He sent us a nurse practitioner,
00:27:03.02\00:27:05.15
who's been taking care of us.
00:27:05.19\00:27:07.32
And we have
just been so blessed.
00:27:07.36\00:27:08.99
People just they
bring what you need,
00:27:09.02\00:27:10.59
you know, the
natural remedies and things.
00:27:10.63\00:27:12.56
Everybody's coming
over with a little jar,
00:27:12.59\00:27:14.86
a little bottle of this and say,
00:27:14.90\00:27:16.23
"This is my home
remedy will you take it?"
00:27:16.26\00:27:18.33
And one man, he did,
bless his precious heart,
00:27:18.37\00:27:20.57
the head elder
and brought a spoon
00:27:20.60\00:27:22.47
so I could take it
right in and right there.
00:27:22.50\00:27:24.47
You got to start right away.
00:27:24.51\00:27:25.87
But I couldn't take
anything or everything,
00:27:25.91\00:27:27.51
so it's all good
but that just shows
00:27:27.54\00:27:28.88
the kind of love that they have.
00:27:28.91\00:27:30.25
Yeah, the care
they have. Oh, it is.
00:27:30.28\00:27:31.61
He even said, "I
took off work early
00:27:31.65\00:27:32.98
so I could go get
this stuff to make it."
00:27:33.01\00:27:34.75
They're wonderful.
00:27:34.78\00:27:36.28
I mean they are
such a caring group
00:27:36.32\00:27:38.55
and we look forward...
00:27:38.59\00:27:40.22
We know that the people
00:27:40.26\00:27:41.59
that are coming
into this church,
00:27:41.62\00:27:42.96
they're going to
be left in good hands.
00:27:42.99\00:27:44.53
Amen. Amen.
00:27:44.56\00:27:45.89
Well, iSITE is almost
done for this evening.
00:27:45.93\00:27:47.53

know you need to head
00:27:47.56\00:27:49.43
