>> Looking at this map mission.
I can't stop thinking about
00:00:19.88\00:00:24.22
that. There's still a huge
work to do. We can see but their
00:00:24.22\00:00:28.19
green areas where the 7th
Day Adventist Church has a
00:00:28.19\00:00:31.19
significant presence. But
we can also see the yellow,
00:00:31.19\00:00:35.13
orange and red areas where
our president is low or even
00:00:35.13\00:00:39.83
nonexistent. And to me,
those areas look very red.
00:00:39.83\00:00:44.51
>> And uh, you mean, Steve?
I feel the same way. The good
00:00:44.51\00:00:48.11
news is that there is being
group of people working hard in
00:00:48.11\00:00:52.48
different areas of the
world, preaching the gospel and
00:00:52.48\00:00:55.72
serving. They need to restate
arch. The outpost and use
00:00:55.72\00:00:59.29
international family CI
has presence in more than 75
00:00:59.29\00:01:03.12
countries with more than
255 member ministries so far.
00:01:03.12\00:01:08.90
>> Yes, we praise the Lord
for that. We are a spiritual
00:01:08.90\00:01:12.87
brotherhood of late operated
ministries, striving toward the
00:01:12.87\00:01:17.37
common goal of taking
the gospel to the work and
00:01:17.37\00:01:21.01
supporting the work of the 7th
Day Adventist Church. So these
00:01:21.01\00:01:25.18
Ali people are willing to run
ministries to preach the gospel
00:01:25.18\00:01:29.65
and support the
mission of the church.
00:01:29.65\00:01:32.65
>> And we call them
self-supporting ministries
00:01:32.65\00:01:35.42
because the workers support
themselves their practical
00:01:35.42\00:01:38.89
skills. They dedicate their
time and resources to God's
00:01:38.89\00:01:42.93
work in various businesses.
00:01:42.93\00:01:45.13
>> That's wonderful. Every
person or family can lead a
00:01:45.13\00:01:48.77
ministry to preach the gospel,
using their guest and sustain
00:01:48.77\00:01:53.17
their family doing
mission. I'm a little bit.
00:01:53.17\00:01:56.24
>> Me too. And because we all
have different skills, we have
00:01:56.24\00:01:59.71
a diversity of ministries that
are members of a CIA right now.
00:01:59.71\00:02:04.79
We have had a nice orphanages,
lifestyle centers, missionary
00:02:04.79\00:02:09.66
training programs, publishing
and media centers, vegetarian
00:02:09.66\00:02:14.36
restaurants, entrepreneurship,
Whole Foods, stores, schools,
00:02:14.36\00:02:18.93
water, companies, aviation.
And we truly believe that you
00:02:18.93\00:02:24.04
can do Michigan,
glorify God in any work you do.
00:02:24.04\00:02:28.24
>> A man in many writings from
Ellen, why we can find that she
00:02:28.24\00:02:32.41
mentions this kind of work
led by the Lady of the 7th Day
00:02:32.41\00:02:36.25
Adventist Church actually
outpost Centers. International
00:02:36.25\00:02:40.02
got its name in 1983. From
an instruction written by Ellen
00:02:40.02\00:02:44.89
White more than 100 years
ago. You can read it in selected
00:02:44.89\00:02:49.63
messages, volume 2 page,
358 repeatedly. The Lord has
00:02:49.63\00:02:54.50
instructed us that we are
to work the city's from outpost
00:02:54.50\00:02:58.61
centers in the cities. We're
to have houses of worship as
00:02:58.61\00:03:02.91
memorials for gun
but institutions for the
00:03:02.91\00:03:06.25
publication of our literature,
for the healing of the sick and
00:03:06.25\00:03:10.29
for the training, the workers
are to be established outside
00:03:10.29\00:03:14.16
the cities, especially is
it important that our youth be
00:03:14.16\00:03:18.39
shielded from the
temptations of city link?
00:03:18.39\00:03:21.56
>> And that's exactly what
the ministry members are doing.
00:03:21.56\00:03:25.17
There are hundreds of
evangelistic purpose caring for
00:03:25.17\00:03:28.64
this model of work and
the city's from the outpost.
00:03:28.64\00:03:31.97
And because they are members of
O C I the church can trust that
00:03:31.97\00:03:36.41
they are in harmony with
the Bible and the spirit of
00:03:36.41\00:03:39.41
prophecy. Our sine is a
promise. And the church trust
00:03:39.41\00:03:44.39
our promise.
00:03:44.39\00:03:45.59
>> That's right, Michelle.
Our vision is to establish a
00:03:45.59\00:03:49.39
thriving network of sustainable
late ministries in every
00:03:49.39\00:03:53.43
country of the world. And
this is accomplished through a
00:03:53.43\00:03:57.13
strong alliance with the
7th Day Adventist Church leaders
00:03:57.13\00:04:00.87
from CI. We want to see
ministry strike. That's why we
00:04:00.87\00:04:05.41
support them to counseling
through training, certain
00:04:05.41\00:04:08.64
networking opportunities to
business consultation to global
00:04:08.64\00:04:12.81
exposure and more. We will
continue talking about how we
00:04:12.81\00:04:17.19
can help you during the
next episode. So stay tuned.

>> At a time when revival was
needed most, when workers for
00:04:34.64\00:04:38.11
God were in short supply as
or knew God was calling him to
00:04:38.11\00:04:41.51
action.
00:04:41.51\00:04:42.68
But while the call to serve,
God was clear. How is he to get
00:04:42.68\00:04:45.71
started?
00:04:45.71\00:04:46.75
We find and has a chapter
7 verse 10 that as you're
00:04:46.75\00:04:49.55
prepared his heart to seek
a lot of the Lord and to do it
00:04:49.55\00:04:53.52
and to teach in Israel statutes
and judgments as rough first
00:04:53.52\00:04:57.83
turn to got to prepare himself
for service. He turned to the
00:04:57.83\00:05:01.03
scriptures to
prayer and heart searching
00:05:01.03\00:05:04.17
what he learned. He purpose use
for God and as a result as or
00:05:04.17\00:05:07.67
was used in a mighty way
to help rebuild God's work,
00:05:07.67\00:05:11.24
you may have wondered yourself,
how do I get started in
00:05:11.24\00:05:13.64
ministry? You know, sometimes
we overlook the need for
00:05:13.64\00:05:17.31
preparation
00:05:17.31\00:05:18.75
because God calls us into
ministry from all walks of
00:05:18.75\00:05:21.12
life. And while it's true
that all his buildings are in a
00:05:21.12\00:05:24.42
billings, this would not
necessarily preclude God from
00:05:24.42\00:05:27.39
enabling you through
some kind of preparation.
00:05:27.39\00:05:30.79
Consider some of those in
scripture that we're prepared
00:05:30.79\00:05:33.19
for service in various ways.
Most of this time as a shepherd
00:05:33.19\00:05:36.90
was necessary for him to
learn not to trust in himself.
00:05:36.90\00:05:40.44
John, the Baptist being
educated in the wilderness that
00:05:40.44\00:05:42.94
he would not be corrupted,
00:05:42.94\00:05:45.37
pause time Arabia communing
with Christ on learning much of
00:05:45.37\00:05:48.98
what he was taught growing
up. And lastly, the 12 apostles
00:05:48.98\00:05:52.68
spent 3 and a half years that
Jesus himself as their teacher.
00:05:52.68\00:05:56.42
What kind of preparation might
you need before launching out
00:05:56.42\00:05:59.12
into ministry
00:05:59.12\00:06:00.59
spiritual preparation and
consecration will be important
00:06:00.59\00:06:03.56
for anyone about to embark on
a mission from God. So make sure
00:06:03.56\00:06:07.23
to spend quiet time with
God. Each day study his word,
00:06:07.23\00:06:11.00
study the spirit of prophecy.
Search your heart and ask God
00:06:11.00\00:06:14.20
to speak to you. Guided
prepare you for the work ahead.
00:06:14.20\00:06:18.34
In addition, it's often helpful
to get some training in the
00:06:18.34\00:06:21.18
area. You'll be ministering
in and take the opportunity to
00:06:21.18\00:06:23.81
learn from experience people.
00:06:23.81\00:06:26.11
There's no cookie
cutter. One size fits all train.
00:06:26.11\00:06:28.32
That will work for everyone
will most likely depend on the
00:06:28.32\00:06:31.32
type of ministry. God is
calling you to. You can browse
00:06:31.32\00:06:34.79
the said website and find many
short and long-term missionary
00:06:34.79\00:06:38.33
training options
that may suit you.
00:06:38.33\00:06:40.90
Somebody's got lead you as you
seek preparation for service.
00:06:40.90\00:06:47.20
>> If you know what God
wants you to do, then you cannot
00:06:47.20\00:06:50.64
fail.
00:06:50.64\00:06:53.14
Succeeding in raising a
ministry demands knowledge
00:06:53.14\00:06:56.11
until supplemented by Godly
counsel. Based on practical
00:06:56.11\00:07:00.05

>> My name is for less anxious.
I was born in Mexico in the
00:09:23.02\00:09:28.13
state of Chiapas
close to what that meant
00:09:28.13\00:09:32.27
and I was born in has
been suspended. So I learned in
00:09:32.27\00:09:36.57
every small group meeting, I
learned that I was not alone.
00:09:36.57\00:09:41.24
People have troubles, too.
And I was feeling no, I'm I'm
00:09:41.24\00:09:45.48
alone. Nobody understands me
spending time with God in the
00:09:45.48\00:09:50.35
morning helps me every single
moment because as a mother
00:09:50.35\00:09:57.66
and why
00:09:57.66\00:09:59.53
and woman, I have
struggles every moment
00:09:59.53\00:10:03.80
and sometimes when
I'm having a hard time.
00:10:03.80\00:10:07.00
>> This
creature's come to my mind.
00:10:07.00\00:10:10.24
>> And I feel energized asked
00:10:10.24\00:10:13.01
and also touched by the Holy
Spirit to change my attitude to
00:10:13.01\00:10:18.25
to change my thoughts. I
am very grateful for chance of
00:10:18.25\00:10:21.98
true because of the voting
on challenges. Change my life.
00:10:21.98\00:10:26.92
Now I can have more
joyful time with God.
00:10:26.92\00:10:32.53
And also I started this
many as 3 with the vespers every
00:10:32.53\00:10:39.17
Friday. So many people can
start the friend ministries to
00:10:39.17\00:10:43.84
glorify God.

>> And Christine win and
I'm a project manager at a local
00:10:50.15\00:10:53.88
utility company. So I
decided to participate in the
00:10:53.88\00:10:57.55
devotional challenge on even
though United other things to
00:10:57.55\00:11:00.52
do. I decided to participate
because first of all, I wanted
00:11:00.52\00:11:04.39
to support brother Vincent and
Sister Ness. They were so kind
00:11:04.39\00:11:08.90
to put this together and
to develop up a program where,
00:11:08.90\00:11:14.34
again, we could draw
closer to God and have more
00:11:14.34\00:11:17.11
understanding. I wanted
to do that. And secondly, and
00:11:17.11\00:11:20.74
probably more importantly,
because I am and New Christian,
00:11:20.74\00:11:25.01
I want to take every
opportunity given to me to
00:11:25.01\00:11:29.15
delve further into the word
of God. And this seemed like a
00:11:29.15\00:11:32.49
perfect a perfect opportunity
to do it and in person, too.
00:11:32.49\00:11:37.33
So after the devotional
challenge, my daily devotion in
00:11:37.33\00:11:41.33
life to guide changed in that
I am more intentional about it.
00:11:41.33\00:11:45.67
I am so
00:11:45.67\00:11:48.80
great hall and I feel so
blessed that I was here for
00:11:48.80\00:11:52.41
this devotional challenge.
And I know that other and would
00:11:52.41\00:11:57.41
receive the same blessing would
be drawn closer to God would
00:11:57.41\00:12:01.72
have their habits change so
that they invite got into their
00:12:01.72\00:12:05.29
lives more often and reach
out to others more often. So if
00:12:05.29\00:12:10.33
there are churches out there
that are looking for ministries
00:12:10.33\00:12:15.86
to start, I would highly
encourage that the ministry is
00:12:15.86\00:12:20.74
that people are encouraged
to start ministries everywhere,
00:12:20.74\00:12:24.27
no matter how small it is,
the fact that you can start in
00:12:24.27\00:12:28.18
ministry and go out and touch
souls and we're not know who
00:12:28.18\00:12:32.75
you may touch, but even if
you touch one in converted one
00:12:32.75\00:12:36.28
person or helped, that person
may be in the darkest moment of
00:12:36.28\00:12:40.62
their life like this gentleman
who came off of the streets and
00:12:40.62\00:12:44.26
just came into our church.
What a blessing that must feel
00:12:44.26\00:12:47.23
like. And
00:12:47.23\00:12:48.86
also just to know that, you
know, when Jesus said I must be
00:12:48.86\00:12:53.70
about my father's business,
00:12:53.70\00:12:56.17
we all have a duty to do that
and starting up a ministry to
00:12:56.17\00:12:59.94
touch others and to give others
not more of a deep dive into
00:12:59.94\00:13:04.55
the words of God on that is our
father's business. So I would
00:13:04.55\00:13:08.28
highly encourage that for
anybody who wants to start a
00:13:08.28\00:13:10.89
ministry.

gyms of true doing God's work in

California. These ladies
are an example of how God uses
00:13:32.81\00:13:37.25

being impacted. But there's a

vast population that
still needs to be Ray's friends.
