(melodic music)
00:00:00.53\00:00:03.10
- [Marian] We've
grown up in the church
00:00:05.73\00:00:06.97
and have always been
somewhat involved in outreach
00:00:06.97\00:00:10.21
but how can we get
involved in missions overseas?
00:00:10.21\00:00:13.14
My name is Marian,
00:00:13.14\00:00:15.21
- [Lillian] And I'm Lillian,
00:00:15.21\00:00:17.08
we wanted to find out.
00:00:17.08\00:00:18.81
Join us on our journey
00:00:18.81\00:00:20.52
(Bell ringing)
00:00:20.52\00:00:22.25
to discover the culture,
00:00:22.25\00:00:24.25
the lifestyle,
00:00:24.25\00:00:25.59
- [Marian] he
need and the mission,
00:00:25.59\00:00:27.99
in two of southeast
Asia's least reached countries.
00:00:27.99\00:00:32.06
Welcome to MissionTrek.
00:00:32.06\00:00:34.00
- Hey, welcome back.
00:00:37.63\00:00:39.20
- In the last episode,
00:00:39.20\00:00:40.40
we traveled from
Thailand to Cambodia,
00:00:40.40\00:00:42.80
where we met Tim
and Windy Maddocks,
00:00:42.80\00:00:44.87
they live in the
city of Siem Reap
00:00:44.87\00:00:46.47
and have been missionaries
there for over 25 years.
00:00:46.47\00:00:49.78
- When they
surrounded everything to God
00:00:49.78\00:00:51.41
and stepped out by faith alone,
00:00:51.41\00:00:53.31
God began to work through them
00:00:53.31\00:00:54.82
to create what is now
known as 'Wat Preah Yesu'
00:00:54.82\00:00:57.25
which means the Jesus school.
00:00:57.25\00:00:58.95
- Now in this episode,
00:00:58.95\00:01:00.29
we are going to
see a new project
00:01:00.29\00:01:01.32
that God is
building through them,
00:01:01.32\00:01:02.96
and we hope it will
show you the blessings
00:01:02.96\00:01:04.76
that come from obeying God.
00:01:04.76\00:01:06.43
Siem Reap is where Angkor Wat,
00:01:06.43\00:01:08.56
some very famous
old ruins are located,
00:01:08.56\00:01:11.53
they were built
around a thousand years ago
00:01:11.53\00:01:14.34
and today attracts nearly
2 million tourists a year.
00:01:14.34\00:01:17.77
- So Tim and
Windy were wondering
00:01:17.77\00:01:19.11
how they could
witness all these tourists
00:01:19.11\00:01:21.31
and reach them
about our creator God.
00:01:21.31\00:01:23.91
- So God gave them the idea
of starting a butterfly garden,
00:01:23.91\00:01:27.22
they call it butterfly paradise.
00:01:27.22\00:01:29.52
(instrumental music)
00:01:29.52\00:01:32.69
- Okay welcome to
the butterfly paradise.
00:01:41.90\00:01:44.67
(instrumental music)
00:01:44.67\00:01:47.54
once you come
through here Bocha Tigot,
00:01:47.54\00:01:49.87
and then you step into here,
00:01:49.87\00:01:51.14
and what greets
you is butterflies.
00:01:51.14\00:01:54.41
And there will be
flowers everywhere as well
00:01:54.41\00:01:57.25
'cause butterflies love flowers,
00:01:57.25\00:01:59.75
and this wall here, it will
have plants growing out of it
00:01:59.75\00:02:03.22
and hanging of it,
00:02:03.22\00:02:04.52
like a sort of a hanging garden,
00:02:04.52\00:02:06.39
be plenty of flowers here,
00:02:06.39\00:02:08.19
so you're gonna see
the best of our butterflies
00:02:08.19\00:02:10.56
as you step
through the entrance,
00:02:10.56\00:02:12.26
and right in front you, a
waterfall with two sections,
00:02:12.26\00:02:15.70
so with water plummeting
of there into this big tank,
00:02:15.70\00:02:19.23
small crocodiles about so
big swimming around in the tank,
00:02:19.23\00:02:23.20
and not only do
enjoy butterflies
00:02:23.20\00:02:24.71
then you've got
crocodiles, you've got fish,
00:02:24.71\00:02:27.21
get a real feel for the place,
00:02:27.21\00:02:28.98
the flowing water
create a nice sound atmosphere
00:02:28.98\00:02:33.05
and you'll have the sense that
you're in a beautiful garden,
00:02:34.92\00:02:37.62
and then you come
around here a bit further,
00:02:37.62\00:02:39.82
this will all be
gardens, lovely flowers, plants,
00:02:39.82\00:02:43.36
you can come and take a seat
00:02:43.36\00:02:45.76
and enjoy the waterfall,
00:02:46.86\00:02:48.83
different style of waterfall,
00:02:48.83\00:02:50.30
based on a
waterfall that I say in Laos,
00:02:50.30\00:02:53.10
and fish, big coy
fish swimming around,
00:02:53.10\00:02:57.01
and of course,
butterflies all around you.
00:02:57.01\00:03:00.38
Once you've had a
relaxing time enjoying that,
00:03:00.38\00:03:03.65
you can take a
walk up the steps.
00:03:03.65\00:03:06.45
Now up here they'll be
plants growing in here,
00:03:08.85\00:03:11.75
so it'll be all vegetated,
00:03:11.75\00:03:13.12
they'll be a tree
growing out of that hole there,
00:03:13.12\00:03:15.19
and from here you can get
a picture of the whole area,
00:03:15.19\00:03:19.03
there's a big
waterfall over there,
00:03:19.03\00:03:20.96
there's another one over there,
00:03:20.96\00:03:22.83
there's another one over there,
00:03:22.83\00:03:24.73
so you've gotta see all
these water events happening,
00:03:24.73\00:03:28.40
and again,
butterflies flying around you,
00:03:28.40\00:03:32.37
plants growing of
these, apparently dead trees,
00:03:32.37\00:03:36.44
which are actually
concrete power poles,
00:03:36.44\00:03:38.58
relax, enjoy, you seat here,
00:03:38.58\00:03:41.08
so we don't want to hurry
anybody through this place,
00:03:41.08\00:03:44.12
we want them to really
get a wonderful experience
00:03:44.12\00:03:47.29
with what God has created
and just feel really at peace,
00:03:47.29\00:03:51.46
and the other that'll be
in here is hyper speed wifi,
00:03:51.46\00:03:54.83
so anybody wanting to
Facebook, what they're doing,
00:03:54.83\00:03:57.70
will be free to do that.
00:03:57.70\00:03:59.67
If you're getting to hot,
00:04:03.04\00:04:03.84
you can step into the cave,
00:04:03.84\00:04:05.64
it's not finished yet,
00:04:05.64\00:04:07.41
but it will have a garden in it
00:04:07.41\00:04:08.71
and it will have
animal display here,
00:04:08.71\00:04:12.15
and pipes will all be hidden.
00:04:12.15\00:04:14.85
(instrumental music)
00:04:14.85\00:04:18.02
So this will another place
were you can sit down, relax,
00:04:19.35\00:04:22.19
again they'll be
fish in this little pond,
00:04:22.19\00:04:24.53
they'll be
flowers right in front you
00:04:24.53\00:04:26.39
so the butterflies will
be right there before you,
00:04:26.39\00:04:28.93
they'll be a full sized
elephant just over there,
00:04:28.93\00:04:31.97
concrete of course,
00:04:31.97\00:04:33.74
and the waterfall
off in the background,
00:04:33.74\00:04:36.84
and so you can get a
real sense that your in Asia,
00:04:36.84\00:04:40.34
and enjoying the
beauty of nature.
00:04:40.34\00:04:43.24
Now do you girls
like the Flintstones?
00:04:46.92\00:04:49.42
Did you ever hear
of the Flinstones?
00:04:49.42\00:04:50.85
- Uhun.
00:04:50.85\00:04:51.65
- Yeah well this their house.
00:04:51.65\00:04:53.66
(girls laughing)
00:04:53.66\00:04:55.42
this is gonna be a drinks shop,
00:04:55.42\00:04:58.03
so people can enter
the cave and buy a drink,
00:04:58.03\00:05:01.26
fresh fruit shake or
some other kind of drink,
00:05:01.26\00:05:04.73
because by the
time they get here,
00:05:04.73\00:05:06.63
they're gonna be
hot and thirsty, so.
00:05:06.63\00:05:09.47
And this is a fish tank,
00:05:09.47\00:05:10.84
so glass front again and
it'll have some Cambodian,
00:05:10.84\00:05:13.41
large Cambodian fish in it,
00:05:13.41\00:05:15.44
water's pouring
of the rock there,
00:05:15.44\00:05:17.58
through a hole
here, down the outside.
00:05:17.58\00:05:20.75
Now for the sake of
shortening the tour,
00:05:20.75\00:05:22.62
we'll go this way.
00:05:22.62\00:05:24.45
(instrumental music)
00:05:24.45\00:05:27.62
For this pond here,
00:05:32.13\00:05:33.40
this is to let the
fish do the foot massage,
00:05:33.40\00:05:37.43
and at the moment,
00:05:37.43\00:05:38.83
you probably wouldn't
want to put your feet in that,
00:05:38.83\00:05:39.97
but it'll be looking
a lot better than this,
00:05:39.97\00:05:42.77
nice clear and lots of fish
00:05:42.77\00:05:45.24
to come chew the old
dead skin of your legs,
00:05:45.24\00:05:47.88
which people seem to like
to have done in Siem Reap,
00:05:47.88\00:05:50.88
and pay good money for
00:05:50.88\00:05:52.21
but this will be free,
part of the ticket price,
00:05:52.21\00:05:54.32
and you can enjoy
the waterfall over here
00:05:54.32\00:05:55.82
while you're sitting here,
00:05:55.82\00:05:56.92
letting the fish
chew on your legs.
00:05:56.92\00:06:00.09
This is gonna be
a tourist garden,
00:06:01.19\00:06:03.12
so this has got
five levels here,
00:06:03.12\00:06:04.73
four levels on this side,
00:06:04.73\00:06:06.53
and a very pleasant waterfall
falling down the middle,
00:06:06.53\00:06:10.13
and it has a
beautiful sound to it
00:06:10.13\00:06:11.77
especially as the
water runs through the rocks,
00:06:11.77\00:06:14.07
and by the time you get here,
00:06:14.07\00:06:15.77
you're really hot,
00:06:15.77\00:06:17.41
and you're really looking
for an air conditioned room,
00:06:17.41\00:06:19.44
so you can walk
through the cave,
00:06:19.44\00:06:21.24
and then step into the
air conditioned cinema,
00:06:21.24\00:06:25.05
and here you can learn
more about what God has created
00:06:25.05\00:06:28.55
through the video
that'll be showing
00:06:28.55\00:06:29.75
on the screen down there.
00:06:29.75\00:06:31.79
If you get thirsty,
you want to have a drink
00:06:31.79\00:06:33.86
while you're
watching the movies,
00:06:33.86\00:06:34.99
there'll be a door there,
00:06:34.99\00:06:36.12
you can step into
the restaurant next door,
00:06:36.12\00:06:37.79
buy a drink and then come back,
00:06:37.79\00:06:39.63
and sit down and enjoy.
00:06:39.63\00:06:41.23
And from here, you can enjoy
something that's quite unique,
00:06:41.23\00:06:43.97
and that is a waterfall
that drops as a tube of water,
00:06:43.97\00:06:47.87
through the roof there,
00:06:47.87\00:06:49.20
into that wishing well,
00:06:49.20\00:06:51.61
and then flowing into the
pond again with lots of fish.
00:06:51.61\00:06:54.98
(instrumental music)
00:06:54.98\00:06:58.11
so you got to this
part and now you're hungry,
00:07:01.25\00:07:04.22
so you have a choice,
00:07:04.22\00:07:05.55
you can either sit out
here with the butterflies,
00:07:05.55\00:07:08.22
with an umbrella
and flowers all around,
00:07:08.22\00:07:10.23
so the butterflies are
all around you and eat,
00:07:10.23\00:07:13.46
you can sit over
here in the cave,
00:07:13.46\00:07:15.46
under the shade,
00:07:15.46\00:07:17.27
or you can enter
the glass doors here,
00:07:17.27\00:07:19.20
and enter into the air
conditioned restaurant,
00:07:19.20\00:07:21.60
and so you have three choices,
00:07:21.60\00:07:23.27
and the glass
windows will allow you
00:07:23.27\00:07:24.77
to keep enjoying the
butterflies while you're eating
00:07:24.77\00:07:27.08
even if you are inside.
00:07:27.08\00:07:29.64
You can enjoy
that waterfall again
00:07:29.64\00:07:31.08
dropping through the roof,
00:07:31.08\00:07:32.41
and enjoy the very unique
rock work in the ceiling here.
00:07:32.41\00:07:35.95
- How long do you
think it'll take to finish?
00:07:35.95\00:07:38.35
- Um, when I have enough money,
00:07:38.35\00:07:40.09
maybe two, three, four months.
00:07:40.09\00:07:43.06
Depends how much
time I can commit to it
00:07:43.06\00:07:44.89
to make it really happen.
00:07:44.89\00:07:46.70
The part that's gonna take
the longest is the landscaping,
00:07:46.70\00:07:50.23
so the buildings, I can put
the building team onto that,
00:07:50.23\00:07:52.63
they can do that pretty fast,
00:07:52.63\00:07:54.67
but the landscaping
has to be custom designed
00:07:54.67\00:07:57.94
so that'll take quite a while.
00:07:57.94\00:08:01.24
Just in here will be
probably the important room
00:08:01.24\00:08:04.21
in the whole building,
00:08:04.21\00:08:06.08
and this where we will grow
the caterpillars to butterflies,
00:08:06.08\00:08:10.05
- Mm
00:08:10.05\00:08:11.15
- So it'll be an
air conditioned room,
00:08:11.15\00:08:12.65
and there we need to produce
00:08:12.65\00:08:15.79
between two and four
thousand butterflies a month.
00:08:15.79\00:08:18.89
- Whoa.
00:08:18.89\00:08:20.56
- So we have to,
00:08:20.56\00:08:22.50
we're planning to have
00:08:22.50\00:08:23.50
at least twenty
species of butterflies,
00:08:23.50\00:08:25.70
that we're growing
here, releasing into the cage,
00:08:25.70\00:08:28.74
and then they'll be
00:08:28.74\00:08:30.01
at least ten or fifteen
butterfly species, smaller ones,
00:08:30.01\00:08:33.78
that will be self
breeding in the cage,
00:08:33.78\00:08:36.28
we'll just
provide them with food
00:08:36.28\00:08:37.65
and they'll just multiply
themselves inside the cage,
00:08:37.65\00:08:41.15
cause the small ones,
00:08:41.15\00:08:42.52
a bit fiddly to take care
of a tiny little caterpillar.
00:08:42.52\00:08:45.69
We have on the other side
over there behind the threes,
00:08:45.69\00:08:48.72
lot of plant's planted
that are the food plants
00:08:48.72\00:08:51.26
for different
kinds of butterflies.
00:08:51.26\00:08:53.26
So we can harvest the leaves,
00:08:53.26\00:08:55.20
feed the caterpillars,
00:08:55.20\00:08:57.37
and when they
turn into chrysalis,
00:08:57.37\00:08:59.40
prepare them for display,
00:08:59.40\00:09:01.84
and then watch them hatch
00:09:01.84\00:09:03.37
and there are some
crazy caterpillars,
00:09:03.37\00:09:05.77
really really beautiful,
00:09:05.77\00:09:08.31
and I plan to build one of them
00:09:08.31\00:09:10.91
as the worlds largest
concrete caterpillar sculpture,
00:09:10.91\00:09:15.05
just outside the entrance there,
00:09:15.05\00:09:17.69
and it'll be
about five meters tall,
00:09:17.69\00:09:19.59
and about twenty meters long.
00:09:19.59\00:09:21.22
- [Lillian] Whoa.
00:09:21.22\00:09:22.32
- Yeah it's
yellow, orange and black.
00:09:22.32\00:09:24.36
It has these huge
horns hanging of it,
00:09:24.36\00:09:26.46
so it'll be quite a sight.
00:09:26.46\00:09:27.76
Then we have an
educational center,
00:09:27.76\00:09:29.56
so you can come and
learn more about butterflies,
00:09:29.56\00:09:31.87
some really cool things
00:09:31.87\00:09:33.27
like butterflies, when
they hatch out of the chrysalis,
00:09:33.27\00:09:37.77
they know how to
pump their wings up,
00:09:37.77\00:09:40.74
and they know how
to dry their wings
00:09:40.74\00:09:43.01
and then they also know
how to fly in strong winds,
00:09:43.01\00:09:46.28
having never been taught,
00:09:46.28\00:09:48.35
and not only that, they
know how to find a mate,
00:09:48.35\00:09:51.49
and how to mate on the wing
00:09:51.49\00:09:54.66
and they've never
practiced that one either,
00:09:54.66\00:09:57.13
so you think
about Air Force pilots,
00:09:57.13\00:10:00.46
where they have
refueling planes,
00:10:00.46\00:10:02.83
in the jet fighters, they
have to practice for months,
00:10:02.83\00:10:06.80
to be able to refuel in air,
00:10:06.80\00:10:09.10
but these
butterflies, they hatch out,
00:10:09.10\00:10:11.57
and within an hour of hatching,
00:10:11.57\00:10:12.94
they are ready to mate
in the air like refueling,
00:10:12.94\00:10:17.55
and they can
smell their food plant
00:10:17.55\00:10:21.12
for 3 to 5 kilometers away,
00:10:21.12\00:10:25.39
and they track it,
00:10:25.39\00:10:26.72
when they find it, they
scratch it with their foot,
00:10:26.72\00:10:28.59
and they taste
through their foot,
00:10:28.59\00:10:30.43
if they've got the right plant,
00:10:30.43\00:10:31.86
they'll lay their eggs on it.
00:10:31.86\00:10:33.19
(instrumental music)
00:10:33.19\00:10:36.77
Through that door there,
00:10:36.77\00:10:38.73
it'll take you
into another building,
00:10:38.73\00:10:41.24
and that building will
be a small animal house,
00:10:41.24\00:10:43.41
so it'll have snakes
and lizards and frogs,
00:10:43.41\00:10:46.37
and insects, bigger insects
00:10:46.37\00:10:48.14
for people to go
and have a look at,
00:10:48.14\00:10:50.01
live ones of course,
00:10:50.01\00:10:52.78
and we also plan to have an
aquaponics center over there,
00:10:52.78\00:10:56.18
we're we'll grow
vegetables for the restaurant,
00:10:56.18\00:10:59.29
by filtering the
water from the ponds,
00:10:59.29\00:11:01.66
and growing the
vegetables in the water.
00:11:01.66\00:11:03.46
And this here is a turtle pond,
00:11:03.46\00:11:05.29
so the turtles that
currently live in my house,
00:11:05.29\00:11:07.40
turtles and
tortoises, they'll live here,
00:11:07.40\00:11:09.70
there's a little
island in the middle
00:11:09.70\00:11:10.80
where they can sun bake
00:11:10.80\00:11:11.80
and you can enjoy,
00:11:11.80\00:11:13.34
and they'll be free to walk
around within their pond area,
00:11:13.34\00:11:16.60
over here,
they'll be a waterfall,
00:11:16.60\00:11:19.01
which will drop in front,
00:11:19.01\00:11:20.88
so you better stand behind
the waterfall and look through
00:11:20.88\00:11:24.55
into the garden,
00:11:24.55\00:11:26.21
and then they'll be
other gardens underneath here,
00:11:26.21\00:11:29.08
and then to finish it off,
00:11:29.08\00:11:30.82
you step through
some glass doors here
00:11:30.82\00:11:33.39
into the souvenir shop,
00:11:33.39\00:11:35.39
and we plan to
manufacture as many souvenirs
00:11:36.66\00:11:38.73
as we can here on campus,
00:11:38.73\00:11:41.00
professionally
sort of done souvenirs,
00:11:41.00\00:11:43.63
people will exit
through the door way over there,
00:11:43.63\00:11:47.20
when they exit,
they'll see a giant butterfly,
00:11:47.20\00:11:51.74
just outside also,
made of concrete and steel,
00:11:51.74\00:11:54.94
- Whoa,
00:11:54.94\00:11:57.01
that's gonna be a
really cool place.
00:11:57.01\00:12:00.38
- I hope so, I hope
people find it really cool,
00:12:00.38\00:12:02.15
and they want to come back.
00:12:02.15\00:12:04.42
- [Cameraman] Are
you guys blown away?
00:12:04.42\00:12:05.72
- Hmm.
00:12:05.72\00:12:06.55
- Uhun.
00:12:06.55\00:12:07.82
- And the income
generated will be obviously
00:12:07.82\00:12:09.12
used to help run the
orphanage and the schools,
00:12:09.12\00:12:11.93
and do other projects,
00:12:11.93\00:12:14.76
probably develop more schools.
00:12:14.76\00:12:17.63
- We definitely have to
come back when this is finished.
00:12:17.63\00:12:19.97
- Yeah, this
place is really cool.
00:12:19.97\00:12:23.57
(instrumental music)
00:12:23.57\00:12:28.64
- So how can we help to
get involved with this project?
00:12:31.18\00:12:33.58
- You can help pray,
00:12:33.58\00:12:34.72
pray that God will
give me wisdom to finish it,
00:12:34.72\00:12:37.29
and that God will
provide the finances
00:12:37.29\00:12:39.65
so that we can finish it,
00:12:39.65\00:12:41.49
and get it open,
00:12:41.49\00:12:42.86
and let the world enjoy
the world of butterflies.
00:12:42.86\00:12:46.96
- So how long have you
been working on it already?
00:12:46.96\00:12:49.96
- We began working actually
on the cage back in March,
00:12:49.96\00:12:53.07
of 2016, so next
month, it'll be twelve months.
00:12:53.07\00:12:58.04
- Where did you get this idea?
00:12:58.94\00:13:00.14
- A friend of
mine gave me the idea,
00:13:00.14\00:13:02.38
his idea was
something fairly small,
00:13:02.38\00:13:04.88
and I sort of dismissed it,
00:13:04.88\00:13:07.55
but God wouldn't
let me dismiss it,
00:13:07.55\00:13:09.52
and it just kept
growing and growing and growing,
00:13:09.52\00:13:12.12
so I really
think it's God's idea,
00:13:12.12\00:13:13.79
I tried to convince him many
times that we shouldn't do it,
00:13:13.79\00:13:17.19
but every time I
tried to convince him,
00:13:17.19\00:13:19.16
he convinced me otherwise.
00:13:19.16\00:13:21.10
- How does God
convince you of something.
00:13:21.10\00:13:23.13
- Well in this case,
00:13:23.13\00:13:24.50
it's like 'God I don't
think we should do this project,
00:13:24.50\00:13:26.77
it's too big,'
00:13:26.77\00:13:27.84
and then God will
show me a new butterfly
00:13:27.84\00:13:29.77
that very day that
I'm arguing with him,
00:13:29.77\00:13:31.94
or he would show me a butterfly
laying an egg on a plant,
00:13:31.94\00:13:34.88
that I didn't know
was the host plant,
00:13:34.88\00:13:37.05
and it's like
00:13:37.05\00:13:38.08
'God, you know I'm
arguing with you today,
00:13:38.08\00:13:41.68
and then you're showing me
these things about butterflies,'
00:13:41.68\00:13:44.89
and so for me it's like
God just trying to tell me,
00:13:44.89\00:13:47.76
through the butterflies,
'you gotta do this.'
00:13:47.76\00:13:50.13
- Is this like, gonna be like
the biggest butterfly garden
00:13:50.13\00:13:52.46
in the world or
something like that?
00:13:52.46\00:13:54.30
- It won't be the biggest,
00:13:54.30\00:13:55.76
but it would
probably be in the top 10,
00:13:55.76\00:13:58.33
but hopefully
the most beautiful.
00:13:58.33\00:14:00.80
- Where are you gonna get all
the plants for the landscape.
00:14:00.80\00:14:03.57
- That's a very good question
00:14:03.57\00:14:04.67
and I started thinking
about that two years ago
00:14:04.67\00:14:06.51
when we started
working on the idea,
00:14:06.51\00:14:08.94
and I got this idea
00:14:08.94\00:14:10.75
that was gonna cost a
lot of money for plants,
00:14:10.75\00:14:13.65
and so I better
start collecting,
00:14:13.65\00:14:16.25
so about two years ago,
00:14:16.25\00:14:17.59
I started
collecting one of each kind,
00:14:17.59\00:14:20.22
and multiplying them, so
if you want to come with me,
00:14:20.22\00:14:22.56
I'll show you what we've done.
00:14:22.56\00:14:24.29
(instrumental music)
00:14:24.29\00:14:27.40
Now did you want
to see the snakes?
00:14:27.40\00:14:29.33
- Will they still be
there when you open this place?
00:14:29.33\00:14:31.63
- No, when we open the place,
00:14:31.63\00:14:33.00
they'll have
their own special room
00:14:33.00\00:14:34.60
like an enclosure
with nice glass fronts
00:14:34.60\00:14:36.47
so people can see them,
00:14:36.47\00:14:37.94
not locked away
here in the dark,
00:14:37.94\00:14:40.74
but right now,
they're safe here.
00:14:40.74\00:14:43.08
(jungle music)
00:14:43.08\00:14:45.75
- Hello, Hello where are you?
00:14:50.22\00:14:54.46
Turn around and look at me,
00:14:54.46\00:14:55.39
there you go.
00:14:55.39\00:14:56.79
- [Marian] Look at his face.
00:14:56.79\00:14:59.19
- They say that go for the eyes,
00:15:00.73\00:15:03.63
so if they can't see your eyes,
00:15:03.63\00:15:05.70
they're not gonna strike you.
00:15:05.70\00:15:07.27
This ones has two bumps in it,
00:15:07.27\00:15:08.40
they're ducks
that it ate last week,
00:15:08.40\00:15:10.97
and the one down
here has one bump in it,
00:15:10.97\00:15:13.24
last night it ate
a duck for dinner.
00:15:13.24\00:15:15.21
There's one more down here,
00:15:15.21\00:15:17.11
- [Lillian] Poor duck.
00:15:17.11\00:15:18.31
- But these are wild snakes,
00:15:18.31\00:15:20.35
so we're just trying to
leave them in their wild state,
00:15:20.35\00:15:24.19
not tame them, and so
wild animal eat live animals,
00:15:24.19\00:15:28.59
so we leave the animals in here
00:15:28.59\00:15:31.56
and we give the
duck food and water
00:15:31.56\00:15:33.29
and when the snakes are
hungry, they'll eat them.
00:15:33.29\00:15:36.97
- [Marian] So you
just like found snakes
00:15:36.97\00:15:38.37
and brought them here?
00:15:38.37\00:15:39.50
- No, no, I bought the snakes.
00:15:39.50\00:15:40.57
- [Marian] Okay.
00:15:40.57\00:15:41.60
- Now I should
tell you the story,
00:15:41.60\00:15:43.61
it's a funny sort
of story about danger,
00:15:43.61\00:15:46.37
see the first two
ducks I put in here,
00:15:46.37\00:15:49.04
they didn't know
anything about snakes,
00:15:49.04\00:15:52.15
and the snakes coil up
over here in the corner,
00:15:52.15\00:15:55.92
and so at night, the ducks
would go and sleep on them,
00:15:55.92\00:15:58.45
even during the day,
00:15:58.45\00:15:59.55
and so literally
the ducks are sleeping
00:15:59.55\00:16:02.22
on the heads of the snakes,
00:16:02.22\00:16:04.03
and the snakes didn't mind.
00:16:04.03\00:16:05.09
One day I watched
the duck put his beak
00:16:05.09\00:16:06.96
under the head of the snake
00:16:06.96\00:16:08.53
and lift the snake's head up,
00:16:08.53\00:16:10.37
so that's how close they are,
00:16:10.37\00:16:12.53
and the snakes just
didn't bother about them,
00:16:12.53\00:16:15.00
but when they got
hungry, they ate them.
00:16:15.00\00:16:16.94
The snake is about 12 feet long,
00:16:16.94\00:16:19.67
but they will grow
to about 20 feet long.
00:16:19.67\00:16:23.51
- Those are big snakes.
00:16:23.51\00:16:24.98
- Kinda cool.
00:16:24.98\00:16:25.81
- She likes snakes.
00:16:25.81\00:16:27.88
- [Marian] She
doesn't like snakes.
00:16:27.88\00:16:29.82
(instrumental music)
00:16:29.82\00:16:33.66
- [Lillian] Whoa.
00:16:33.66\00:16:35.42
- [Marian] But
there's butterflies,
00:16:35.42\00:16:37.39
there's already butterflies.
00:16:37.39\00:16:39.93
- Nice butterflies over here.
00:16:39.93\00:16:41.60
So in the last two years,
00:16:41.60\00:16:42.93
I've collected over two
hundred varieties of plants,
00:16:42.93\00:16:45.27
actually probably it's closer
to about three hundred now,
00:16:45.27\00:16:48.87
and so this is
part of the collection,
00:16:48.87\00:16:51.91
and over there,
there's a lot more,
00:16:51.91\00:16:54.11
and so most of them we
started with one plant,
00:16:54.11\00:16:57.31
or one plant bag and we
just started dividing them up,
00:16:57.31\00:17:00.82
and some it's
easier than others,
00:17:00.82\00:17:03.65
but it's been going
pretty successfully,
00:17:04.79\00:17:08.16
and the students
work here with me
00:17:08.16\00:17:09.96
to help produce the plants,
00:17:09.96\00:17:12.99
and it's really fun
working with plants,
00:17:12.99\00:17:17.33
seeing how beautiful they are,
00:17:17.33\00:17:19.07
most of these
plants aren't full size
00:17:19.07\00:17:21.34
because we keep
chopping them up,
00:17:21.34\00:17:23.34
so we don't let them get to big,
00:17:23.34\00:17:25.37
but I have a couple
of these in my garden,
00:17:25.37\00:17:27.88
they're like
about how many feet,
00:17:27.88\00:17:31.91
4 feet across,
like a huge big nest,
00:17:31.91\00:17:34.98
so these would grow much bigger,
00:17:35.78\00:17:37.65
maybe come down how where
we've got some nice plants here,
00:17:37.65\00:17:40.09
just watch the slob.
00:17:40.09\00:17:41.82
(instrumental music)
00:17:42.92\00:17:46.09
These are some of
my favorite plants,
00:17:53.20\00:17:54.87
these are called the bromeliads,
00:17:54.87\00:17:56.87
they're like a pineapple,
00:17:56.87\00:17:58.74
and they're really colorful,
00:17:58.74\00:18:01.11
so these will be
hanging out off rocks off trees,
00:18:01.11\00:18:03.41
and that sort of thing
in the butterfly paradise,
00:18:03.41\00:18:05.78
you've got the ferns, they don't
grow much taller than that,
00:18:05.78\00:18:09.32
and then we've
got plants like this,
00:18:09.32\00:18:12.32
leaves will grow about so high,
00:18:12.32\00:18:14.76
and these ones, these will grow
00:18:14.76\00:18:18.13
about 9 to 10 feet high,
00:18:18.13\00:18:20.86
these have a big red flower,
they're called heliconias,
00:18:20.86\00:18:23.60
and you can see this one,
00:18:23.60\00:18:25.13
it's red, green, white,
00:18:25.13\00:18:27.34
these ones, they
have purple on the back,
00:18:27.34\00:18:31.91
and then green,
00:18:31.91\00:18:34.41
and this one down here,
00:18:34.41\00:18:36.28
it's one of my favorite ones,
00:18:36.28\00:18:37.75
look at the color of that.
00:18:37.75\00:18:38.85
- [Girls] Whoa,
that is so pretty.
00:18:38.85\00:18:41.48
- And you can see
the butterflies like it,
00:18:42.58\00:18:44.79
most of these
butterflies are just one kind,
00:18:44.79\00:18:47.19
and it's called the gray pansy,
00:18:47.19\00:18:49.66
but at the moment
00:18:49.66\00:18:51.36
that's the most common
butterfly we have around here,
00:18:51.36\00:18:53.66
but here on this property,
00:18:53.66\00:18:54.96
we've seen over one hundred
different kinds of butterflies.
00:18:54.96\00:18:57.63
- Whoa.
00:18:57.63\00:18:58.43
- Most of them breed here,
00:18:58.43\00:19:00.10
so that's one of the
things that also help me
00:19:00.10\00:19:02.24
to convince me
to do this project,
00:19:02.24\00:19:04.67
the very fact that
there was so many butterflies
00:19:04.67\00:19:06.68
that lived here,
00:19:06.68\00:19:08.04
and not just
little ones, big ones,
00:19:08.04\00:19:10.55
and it's like
God had prearranged
00:19:10.55\00:19:13.08
that we have the
food plants for them,
00:19:13.08\00:19:15.82
years and years before
he ever got the idea to me.
00:19:15.82\00:19:20.06
- Wow that was so amazing,
00:19:21.02\00:19:23.29
when we were
there twelve months ago,
00:19:23.29\00:19:25.03
it was hard to imagine
what it would look like finished
00:19:25.03\00:19:27.20
with all the
plants and butterflies,
00:19:27.20\00:19:29.16
- Yeah, it's
gonna be so awesome.
00:19:29.16\00:19:30.57
- It is definitely.
00:19:30.57\00:19:31.80
We have a special guest with us,
00:19:31.80\00:19:33.44
Tim Maddocks,
welcome to MissionTrek.
00:19:33.44\00:19:36.07
- Thank you very much, it's
a great pleasure to be here.
00:19:36.07\00:19:37.81
- It's great to have you.
00:19:37.81\00:19:39.44
- So the footage
that we saw in the segment
00:19:39.44\00:19:41.18
was shot last year in February,
00:19:41.18\00:19:43.08
- Yes.
00:19:43.08\00:19:44.18
- So has it
changed at all since then?
00:19:44.18\00:19:46.18
- It's changed a lot,
00:19:46.18\00:19:48.08
it's not finished
yet but it's almost.
00:19:48.08\00:19:51.09
- That's really exciting.
00:19:51.09\00:19:52.19
- So can give us an update.
00:19:52.19\00:19:53.92
- Yeah actually
I took some video
00:19:53.92\00:19:55.22
just before I
left two weeks ago,
00:19:55.22\00:19:57.39
so I'd love to
share it with you.
00:19:57.39\00:19:58.29
- Awesome.
00:19:58.29\00:19:59.69
- So you might remember
we came through the entrance,
00:19:59.69\00:20:02.10
well now you can see the plants,
00:20:02.10\00:20:03.73
there's glass where the
crocodile pond is going to be,
00:20:03.73\00:20:06.90
waterfalls are still not
working but they will be soon,
00:20:06.90\00:20:10.27
you can see butterflies,
00:20:10.27\00:20:11.84
there's no wire
on the sides yet,
00:20:11.84\00:20:14.48
but that allows the butterflies
to just fly in and fly out,
00:20:14.48\00:20:19.48
and lot's of
butterflies come everyday,
00:20:20.92\00:20:22.98
it's butterfly
paradise of course,
00:20:22.98\00:20:24.52
they want to come to paradise.
00:20:24.52\00:20:25.49
(girls laugh)
00:20:25.49\00:20:27.16
So you can see, there's a
lot of color in the plants,
00:20:27.16\00:20:29.82
purples, oranges, yellows,
00:20:29.82\00:20:32.46
and the plants are
growing really really well,
00:20:32.46\00:20:36.33
- [Lillian] So much different
than when we were there
00:20:36.33\00:20:37.77
last time.
00:20:37.77\00:20:39.40
- [Marian] So much more color.
00:20:39.40\00:20:41.47
- [Lillian] Yeah.
00:20:41.47\00:20:43.04
- [Tim] Yeah
we're just coming up
00:20:43.04\00:20:44.01
towards the Flintstones house,
00:20:44.01\00:20:47.48
(girls laugh)
00:20:47.48\00:20:48.51
which is gonna be a drinks shop,
00:20:48.51\00:20:50.38
and you can see how
much the plants have,
00:20:50.38\00:20:53.48
well there wasn't
any plants there before,
00:20:53.48\00:20:55.05
but how they've grown
since we planted them,
00:20:55.05\00:20:57.99
we haven't actually
set up the shop yet,
00:20:57.99\00:21:00.42
there's glass in the fish tank,
00:21:00.42\00:21:01.79
just here on the left,
00:21:01.79\00:21:03.16
here there's a
little grass lawn,
00:21:03.16\00:21:04.49
and some bromeliads and coleus,
00:21:04.49\00:21:08.80
the colors are
really popping nice.
00:21:08.80\00:21:11.80
- [Lillian] Was it
really challenging to figure out
00:21:11.80\00:21:13.13
where to put the plants
and like arrange everything?
00:21:13.13\00:21:16.24
- Yeah I spent hundreds of hours
00:21:16.24\00:21:17.91
looking at other
peoples gardens on the internet,
00:21:17.91\00:21:20.61
studying what they've done
00:21:20.61\00:21:21.74
- [Girls] Wow, yeah.
00:21:21.74\00:21:22.81
- [Tim] And just
praying about it ...
00:21:22.81\00:21:23.91
- I can't imagine like
all the details are like
00:21:23.91\00:21:26.25
what girls wear, oh,
that would overwhelm me.
00:21:26.25\00:21:29.02
- We'd lay out the plants,
00:21:29.02\00:21:30.09
have a look at it,
no I don't like that,
00:21:30.09\00:21:31.22
rearrange then
get it looking like...
00:21:31.22\00:21:33.46
- Oh my
00:21:33.46\00:21:35.02
- So how do you
raise butterflies?
00:21:35.02\00:21:36.93
- Well you begin
by collecting eggs,
00:21:36.93\00:21:39.43
so the butterfly
breeders have to go out,
00:21:39.43\00:21:42.23
find the eggs on
the special plants
00:21:42.23\00:21:44.53
that the butterfly
will lay its eggs on,
00:21:44.53\00:21:46.27
we call that a host plant,
00:21:46.27\00:21:47.80
and then they'll take
them back to the laboratory,
00:21:47.80\00:21:51.24
and wash them, sterilize them,
00:21:51.24\00:21:53.17
so there's no
bacteria on the eggs
00:21:53.17\00:21:55.44
that could
infect the caterpillars,
00:21:55.44\00:21:57.91
dry them and then
just keep them safe,
00:21:57.91\00:22:01.38
for five, six or seven days,
00:22:01.38\00:22:03.79
until they hatch and
then the hard work begins,
00:22:03.79\00:22:07.09
making sure that
they've got enough food,
00:22:07.09\00:22:09.16
cleaning their poop
out of their containers,
00:22:09.16\00:22:10.76
- [Lillian] Oh wow.
00:22:10.76\00:22:11.56
- [Tim] And they really poop,
00:22:11.56\00:22:12.93
and then everyday, they've
got to be fed once or twice,
00:22:12.93\00:22:17.80
and the leaves
that we're feeding them
00:22:18.90\00:22:20.10
have to be clean, sterilized,
00:22:20.10\00:22:21.74
to make sure theirs
no bacteria and no virus,
00:22:21.74\00:22:24.17
and just keeping away parasites
00:22:24.17\00:22:26.68
that might come to
try to infect them,
00:22:26.68\00:22:28.64
so we'll have an
air conditioned room
00:22:28.64\00:22:30.35
which is where we keep them,
00:22:30.35\00:22:32.35
as everyday, twice a day,
00:22:32.35\00:22:34.65
somebody gonna
have to check them
00:22:34.65\00:22:36.15
make sure they're doing okay,
00:22:36.15\00:22:37.72
they go through five stages
of growth, as a caterpillar,
00:22:37.72\00:22:41.42
we call those instars,
00:22:41.42\00:22:43.22
and each instar, at
the end of each instar,
00:22:43.22\00:22:45.79
they shed their skin,
00:22:45.79\00:22:47.66
it's like changing clothes,
but they have to do that,
00:22:47.66\00:22:50.17
because everyday
they double their weight.
00:22:50.17\00:22:52.70
- [Lillian] Oh my.
00:22:52.70\00:22:54.24
- [Tim] And as they
double their weight of course,
00:22:54.24\00:22:55.50
they're getting
bigger and bigger,
00:22:55.50\00:22:56.67
their skin just
doesn't stretch enough,
00:22:56.67\00:22:58.17
so they have to
change their skin
00:22:58.17\00:22:59.74
so they can have a bigger skin
for the next stage of growth,
00:22:59.74\00:23:02.81
so depending on the caterpillar,
00:23:02.81\00:23:04.55
they might eat for twelve
days, fifteen days, twenty days,
00:23:04.55\00:23:08.08
the bigger the caterpillar,
the bigger the butterfly,
00:23:08.08\00:23:09.95
the longer they eat for,
00:23:09.95\00:23:11.59
and when they've
finished their fifth instar
00:23:11.59\00:23:15.76
then they will sow
some silk onto a branch
00:23:15.76\00:23:19.49
or whatever it is they
are going to attach to,
00:23:19.49\00:23:21.96
and they make a
hook in their tail end,
00:23:21.96\00:23:25.17
and they hook
that into the silk,
00:23:25.17\00:23:26.84
and they hang and then
they shed their last skin,
00:23:26.84\00:23:30.27
but instead of a new skin,
they've got a chrysalis coating,
00:23:30.27\00:23:33.54
- Oh wow.
00:23:33.54\00:23:34.68
- And so that's when
the miracle really happens,
00:23:34.68\00:23:37.55
because then all the
cells, almost all the cells
00:23:37.55\00:23:41.05
break down into a
liquid soup like thing
00:23:41.05\00:23:43.62
- Wow
00:23:43.62\00:23:44.45
- Oh my
00:23:44.45\00:23:45.55
- And a few cells
begin building a butterfly.
00:23:45.55\00:23:47.16
- Wow
00:23:47.16\00:23:48.19
- So over the next
five, six or seven days,
00:23:48.19\00:23:49.89
or longer, those cells
have to build a butterfly.
00:23:49.89\00:23:52.66
- Wow
00:23:52.66\00:23:53.76
- Now it's a miracle
that they can do that,
00:23:53.76\00:23:55.66
because they were a
caterpillar and not a butterfly,
00:23:55.66\00:23:58.23
so all that information
is recorded on the genetics
00:23:58.23\00:24:01.24
inside their cells.
00:24:01.24\00:24:02.50
- Wow
00:24:02.50\00:24:03.30
- Once the butterfly is built,
00:24:03.30\00:24:05.71
it knows just the right time,
00:24:05.71\00:24:08.04
to stretch, split
open their cocoon,
00:24:08.04\00:24:10.61
and come out.
00:24:10.61\00:24:12.38
Now its got new legs,
it didn't have legs like,
00:24:12.38\00:24:14.42
it had these
little tiny legs before,
00:24:14.42\00:24:16.45
and now its got long legs
but it knows how to use them
00:24:16.45\00:24:18.99
stand up, and then
it's gonna unfold its wings,
00:24:18.99\00:24:22.52
its wings are all folded up,
00:24:22.52\00:24:25.33
and it has to
pump blood into them,
00:24:25.33\00:24:27.83
stretch them out
until they're flat,
00:24:27.83\00:24:30.17
and then hold them
there until they dry,
00:24:30.17\00:24:33.13
once they dry, they can fly.
00:24:33.13\00:24:35.50
- [Lillian] Wow
00:24:35.50\00:24:36.74
- And so we have a butterfly,
00:24:36.74\00:24:38.47
so once the
caterpillars become a chrysalis,
00:24:38.47\00:24:43.08
we're gonna have a special case,
00:24:43.08\00:24:45.21
where we hang
them up, glass front,
00:24:45.21\00:24:47.12
so that our
visitors can see them,
00:24:47.12\00:24:49.58
and as they come
out of the chrysalis,
00:24:49.58\00:24:51.12
they can watch them come out,
00:24:51.12\00:24:52.65
watch them stretch their wings,
00:24:52.65\00:24:54.32
and if they're
there at the right time
00:24:54.32\00:24:56.02
when the staff
open the glass doors,
00:24:56.02\00:24:58.56
watch them fly out
into the butterfly garden.
00:24:58.56\00:25:00.56
- Wow
00:25:00.56\00:25:01.33
- That's awesome
00:25:01.33\00:25:02.16
- That's cool
00:25:02.16\00:25:03.20
- So when the
garden is finished,
00:25:03.20\00:25:04.27
how many people will
you have working there?
00:25:04.27\00:25:07.10
- Well I'm
thinking about thirty,
00:25:07.10\00:25:09.27
because we've got ticket sales,
00:25:09.27\00:25:12.37
we've got drinks
and the restaurant,
00:25:12.37\00:25:16.98
we need people in
the education area,
00:25:16.98\00:25:19.71
we need maybe tour guides,
00:25:19.71\00:25:21.68
for people who really want
to know the butterflies better,
00:25:21.68\00:25:23.92
someone to tell them about it,
00:25:23.92\00:25:25.52
we need people to
sell in the souvenir shop,
00:25:25.52\00:25:28.59
and we need a
manger, accountant, cleaners,
00:25:28.59\00:25:32.23
gardeners, so
they're lots of people
00:25:33.23\00:25:35.83
so that's thirty
people all together.
00:25:35.83\00:25:37.90
- Wow.
00:25:37.90\00:25:39.27
- So since you've built
the whole thing by faith,
00:25:39.27\00:25:41.40
where did all
the money come from?
00:25:41.40\00:25:43.47
- God is able to
touch the lives of people,
00:25:43.47\00:25:47.11
impress them to give
00:25:47.11\00:25:49.11
and so we've been praying
all through this process,
00:25:49.11\00:25:52.11
that God would
inspire people to give,
00:25:52.11\00:25:54.75
we don't ask them for money,
00:25:54.75\00:25:56.48
and it's just a miracle,
00:25:56.48\00:25:58.42
we don't always have
the money to do this,
00:25:58.42\00:26:00.36
but we just
keep working in faith
00:26:00.36\00:26:01.86
that God is going to provide
00:26:01.86\00:26:03.43
and it's just amazing to
see what God has done so far.
00:26:03.43\00:26:06.66
- Yeah, it is incredible.
00:26:06.66\00:26:08.43
- So how'd you learn
how to manage all the plants
00:26:08.43\00:26:11.53
and butterflies and stuff?
00:26:11.53\00:26:12.93
- That actually
goes back a long way,
00:26:12.93\00:26:14.87
my grandfather was a gardener,
00:26:14.87\00:26:16.87
and I learnt to garden, to
take care of flowers from him,
00:26:16.87\00:26:20.94
and then I studied
biology at university
00:26:20.94\00:26:23.78
and so I learnt more
about plants, about animals,
00:26:23.78\00:26:26.55
and so, for many years,
00:26:26.55\00:26:28.98
I haven't been very
much in the biology area,
00:26:28.98\00:26:31.69
but God has brought me back
to an area that I started in
00:26:31.69\00:26:35.69
and an area that I love
00:26:35.69\00:26:36.93
and giving me the
opportunity to do the things
00:26:36.93\00:26:39.13
that I really love to do.
00:26:39.13\00:26:40.60
- That's really cool.
00:26:40.60\00:26:41.93
- Yeah, how God just like
had those natural interests
00:26:41.93\00:26:44.13
in you, and then
now you can use them,
00:26:44.13\00:26:47.94
and be witnessing
for him at the same time.
00:26:47.94\00:26:50.61
- Yeah and also to
share them with other people,
00:26:50.61\00:26:52.61
so we've grown the
plants and flowers,
00:26:52.61\00:26:54.94
people have come to
love doing the same,
00:26:54.94\00:26:57.71
and as we work
with the butterflies,
00:26:57.71\00:26:59.18
yeah, they've come
to love the butterflies,
00:26:59.18\00:27:01.05
so it's a part of
passing it all on too.
00:27:01.05\00:27:03.49
- Yeah
00:27:03.49\00:27:04.59
- So should everyone
who wants to reach people
00:27:04.59\00:27:06.29
for God build a
butterfly garden?
00:27:06.29\00:27:08.09
- I don't think so.
00:27:08.09\00:27:09.46
When you look at the flowers,
you look at the butterflies,
00:27:09.46\00:27:12.46
the animals, there's just
so much variety out there,
00:27:12.46\00:27:15.36
and I believe in
God gives each person
00:27:15.36\00:27:17.23
different skills,
different talents,
00:27:17.23\00:27:19.20
and he gives them
a different calling,
00:27:19.20\00:27:21.27
so it wouldn't work if everybody
was doing the same thing,
00:27:21.27\00:27:25.91
so there are many
ways to reach people
00:27:25.91\00:27:28.44
with the love of Jesus,
00:27:28.44\00:27:29.94
and people should use the skills
00:27:29.94\00:27:31.61
and the talents that
they've been given to do that.
00:27:31.61\00:27:34.35
