Welcome back to Philadelphia,
00:00:10.81\00:00:12.44
the city of brotherly love.
00:00:12.47\00:00:14.44
Next stop, we travel
to another urban area,
00:00:14.48\00:00:17.05
the city of Jakarta
00:00:17.08\00:00:18.55
and learn about a
center of influence.
00:00:18.58\00:00:22.35
Thank you,
00:00:22.38\00:00:23.72
we're here in the
heart of Jakarta, Indonesia.
00:00:23.75\00:00:26.45
One of the major
cities here in Asia,
00:00:26.49\00:00:28.89
and we are on the street
where the cars are passing by.
00:00:28.92\00:00:31.99
With me is Arlaine
and, Arlaine, we are...
00:00:32.03\00:00:35.50
you're part of a
unique ministry here,
00:00:35.53\00:00:37.63
that's specifically
working in a big city.
00:00:37.67\00:00:40.74
Can you tell us
a little bit about
00:00:40.77\00:00:42.17
what you have been doing?
00:00:42.20\00:00:43.67
Okay, our ministry here,
00:00:43.71\00:00:45.47
actually and the first time
00:00:45.51\00:00:46.84
when we
established the ministry,
00:00:46.88\00:00:49.24
it's called the Chinese
Ministry Center Jakarta.
00:00:49.28\00:00:52.55
Actually our
vision is how to proclaim
00:00:52.58\00:00:55.25
the Three Angels
Message to the Chinese community
00:00:55.28\00:00:58.62
but later years until now,
00:00:58.65\00:01:01.92
we realize that God actually
lead us to the city evangelism
00:01:01.96\00:01:07.06
and we can see
that more and more
00:01:07.10\00:01:09.73
people of the city of Jakarta
00:01:09.76\00:01:11.47
coming here to study the health,
00:01:11.50\00:01:13.67
because we are
using a health message
00:01:13.70\00:01:16.37
as our tools to
evangelism to them.
00:01:16.40\00:01:19.31
Okay, so what
exactly did you do to use
00:01:19.34\00:01:21.81
the health ministry
church to reach people?
00:01:21.84\00:01:24.78
There is a various
programs like radio program,
00:01:24.81\00:01:29.98
we have a talk
show, health talk show
00:01:30.02\00:01:32.75
and also we have
the health seminars.
00:01:32.79\00:01:35.76
We also have the,
like the consultation
00:01:35.79\00:01:39.59
and healthy food festival
like that cooking class,
00:01:39.63\00:01:43.60
healthy cooking class,
00:01:43.63\00:01:44.97
and we can see
that the, you know,
00:01:45.00\00:01:48.24
this is where it
attract people of Jakarta
00:01:48.27\00:01:51.54
because of the lifestyle
00:01:51.57\00:01:53.68
and disease coming
from the bad lifestyle.
00:01:53.71\00:01:57.18
Now, we are standing in front
of some place called Club Sehot
00:01:57.21\00:02:00.78
and I think you've been
very involved with this.
00:02:00.82\00:02:03.99
What exactly is this?
00:02:04.02\00:02:05.79
Actually Club Sehot
is the healthy food store
00:02:05.82\00:02:10.16
where we can
provide the healthy food
00:02:10.19\00:02:12.99
like the seeds, the
grains, the nuts and the beans
00:02:13.03\00:02:16.83
because it's kind
of difficult to find
00:02:16.87\00:02:18.83
this stuff in Indonesia.
00:02:18.87\00:02:20.60
And actually this is
a type of our ministry
00:02:20.64\00:02:24.37
to the people around Jakarta,
00:02:24.41\00:02:26.98
so they can come and not
only to buy the healthy stuff
00:02:27.01\00:02:30.81
but they also come to listen
00:02:30.85\00:02:33.42
and to learning
about the health message
00:02:33.45\00:02:35.35
through the seminars
00:02:35.38\00:02:36.72
and lifestyle
consultation like that.
00:02:36.75\00:02:39.69
Now upstairs you had a
church service this morning?
00:02:39.72\00:02:43.29
Yes, that's right.
00:02:43.32\00:02:44.66
Now sometimes
people have a health store
00:02:44.69\00:02:46.53
and some people have the church
00:02:46.56\00:02:48.23
but the two
don't always connect.
00:02:48.26\00:02:51.63
How have you guys
managed to connect those two?
00:02:51.67\00:02:54.64
Because we can see that
through to the health message
00:02:54.67\00:02:58.27
it really, it really like
00:02:58.31\00:03:00.81
push them to have
a lifestyle change
00:03:00.84\00:03:03.75
and when they have the
lifestyle change, they...
00:03:03.78\00:03:06.82
some of them and
many of them were healed.
00:03:06.85\00:03:10.59
And they ask us how...?
00:03:10.62\00:03:12.99
Where you guys
get all this stuffs?
00:03:13.02\00:03:15.52
We said that it's from the Bible
00:03:15.56\00:03:17.66
and we opened Bible
study class with them,
00:03:17.69\00:03:20.40
and from the health message
00:03:20.43\00:03:23.16
they learned the
truth from the Bible
00:03:23.20\00:03:25.93
and they're coming
together and worship with us
00:03:25.97\00:03:28.70
and become one of our member.
00:03:28.74\00:03:31.67
Okay now, the church
this morning was full
00:03:31.71\00:03:35.94
and how many are members
00:03:35.98\00:03:37.65
and how many are
visitors in there?
00:03:37.68\00:03:39.71
Actually our members is
just a very little numbers
00:03:39.75\00:03:43.18
just like about...
00:03:43.22\00:03:44.55
every Sabbath 15 to 20
00:03:44.59\00:03:47.26
but like what you see
this morning is actually
00:03:47.29\00:03:49.89
not too much of the
guest because we just,
00:03:49.92\00:03:53.23
this day today, we separate,
00:03:53.26\00:03:55.66
we just opened one of
the center of influence
00:03:55.70\00:03:57.80
in another place.
00:03:57.83\00:03:59.20
So usually 15 to 20 members
00:03:59.23\00:04:03.07
and then we have
about 20 to 50 non SDA guest
00:04:03.10\00:04:07.54
every Sabbath morning.
00:04:07.58\00:04:09.08
Okay, and for those who may
not know a centre of influence,
00:04:09.11\00:04:12.41
there is something that
Mrs. Ellen White talked about,
00:04:12.45\00:04:15.15
but you talked about
small centers in the city
00:04:15.18\00:04:17.89
that can be a
positive influence.
00:04:17.92\00:04:19.25
That's right.
00:04:19.29\00:04:20.62
And using Christ
methods to win people to him.
00:04:20.66\00:04:25.79
Now one of the things
that you are doing too is that
00:04:25.83\00:04:30.17
you have people
going out on the streets
00:04:30.20\00:04:32.63
and doing things,
00:04:32.67\00:04:34.00
so tell us a
little bit about that?
00:04:34.04\00:04:36.34
This is the regular
program that we used to do,
00:04:36.37\00:04:41.51
because we want this center,
00:04:41.54\00:04:44.25
this place as really
a centre of influence
00:04:44.28\00:04:47.82
to the people surroundings.
00:04:47.85\00:04:49.38
So we distribute
the brochure, the tracks
00:04:49.42\00:04:53.32
so everybody around here,
00:04:53.36\00:04:55.39
I mean if someone
from like another cities
00:04:55.42\00:04:59.16
and they don't
know about us, it's okay
00:04:59.19\00:05:01.26
but we just want to
make sure that nobody
00:05:01.30\00:05:04.13
surrounding this
area had said that
00:05:04.17\00:05:06.77
they don't know about us,
00:05:06.80\00:05:09.07
about how to
learning the health message
00:05:09.10\00:05:12.07
and how to learn
the truth from the Bible
00:05:12.11\00:05:14.31
So how most people found out...
00:05:14.34\00:05:17.41
How do the most people
find out about this place?
00:05:17.45\00:05:20.12
Number one is
from word by mouth,
00:05:20.15\00:05:23.49
because they have friends,
00:05:23.52\00:05:26.15
they have family that
already come here and we heal
00:05:26.19\00:05:29.02
and they get their
health was improved
00:05:29.06\00:05:32.46
and they're the
one who recommend them
00:05:32.49\00:05:35.66
to another
member, another friend
00:05:35.70\00:05:37.53
and bring their
friend to come here.
00:05:37.57\00:05:39.57
We also have the
variety of program
00:05:39.60\00:05:41.34
and also the distribution
of the brochures, the tracks
00:05:41.37\00:05:45.54
but it's not as
having a big impact
00:05:45.57\00:05:49.38
as the word by
mouth by our friends here.
00:05:49.41\00:05:52.95
Okay.
00:05:52.98\00:05:54.32
And people who are
in marketing understand
00:05:54.35\00:05:56.08
that word of mouth
is the most powerful.
00:05:56.12\00:05:58.35
That's right.
00:05:58.39\00:05:59.72
You trust when
somebody you know tells you,
00:05:59.75\00:06:01.89
that's wonderful.
00:06:01.92\00:06:03.79
Now we met a few
other people here,
00:06:03.83\00:06:06.59
could you just
maybe very briefly
00:06:06.63\00:06:08.96
share a story of
somebody who has come here
00:06:09.00\00:06:11.90
and whose life
has been impacted?
00:06:11.93\00:06:13.84
Well, actually
there's many testimonies
00:06:13.87\00:06:17.84
what happened here.
00:06:17.87\00:06:19.21
It's not because of us of course
00:06:19.24\00:06:21.41
but we can see how God
really works in this center,
00:06:21.44\00:06:24.88
like we have a, like Evie,
00:06:24.91\00:06:28.75
she's the one who coming here
because of the health message.
00:06:28.78\00:06:32.39
She heard our program
from the radio and come
00:06:32.42\00:06:35.92
and learn about the health
00:06:35.96\00:06:37.29
and then she was
attract with her sister
00:06:37.33\00:06:41.00
to learn Bible also.
00:06:41.03\00:06:42.56
Since the vice president
of a Bank here, a private bank
00:06:42.60\00:06:46.47
and now she's
becoming an active member
00:06:46.50\00:06:51.01
and we can see the change,
00:06:51.04\00:06:54.54
this life change from her
00:06:54.58\00:06:59.71
that really changed her life.
00:06:59.75\00:07:01.85
So see always invite her family
to come to this center also.
00:07:01.88\00:07:07.16
Okay, our time is almost up,
but just may be one sentence,
00:07:07.19\00:07:12.33
if somebody wanted to do this,
00:07:12.36\00:07:13.70
what would you tell them?
00:07:13.73\00:07:15.06
Well, I can share to them
that we are an ordinary people.
00:07:15.10\00:07:19.87
There is nothing
special about us here
00:07:19.90\00:07:22.47
but we believe that we
have an extraordinary God
00:07:22.50\00:07:26.24
who really have a
power to do this work.
00:07:26.27\00:07:29.48
Now I hear that
over and over again,
00:07:29.51\00:07:31.21
we are ordinary people
00:07:31.25\00:07:32.68
doing extraordinary
things through God.
00:07:32.71\00:07:34.85
Thank you very much, Arlaine.
00:07:34.88\00:07:36.89
And thank you at home and
pray that God will show you
00:07:36.92\00:07:40.26
what you can do, to
do extraordinary things.
00:07:40.29\00:07:43.83
Next stop, a trip to
Mars and mission overseas
00:07:43.86\00:07:47.66
and it's all to
do with commitment.
00:07:47.70\00:07:50.33
Wireless telegraphy
also known as radio.
00:07:50.37\00:07:53.54
The history of this innovation
feels like a soap opera.
00:07:53.57\00:07:56.91
Thomas Edison and Nikola
Tesla were rival inventors.
00:07:56.94\00:08:00.51
Radio still rely on a
Tesla coil component today,
00:08:00.54\00:08:03.95
but just as Tesla was preparing
00:08:03.98\00:08:05.71
to unveil a wireless transmitter
00:08:05.75\00:08:07.55
that could carry
out signal 50 miles,
00:08:07.58\00:08:09.75
his work shop
burnt to the ground.
00:08:09.78\00:08:12.32
Edison was known for using
hired thugs and even the mafia,
00:08:12.35\00:08:16.22
but the cause was most
likely an electrical problem.
00:08:16.26\00:08:19.76
With Tesla's work literally
up in smoke Guglielmo Marconi
00:08:19.79\00:08:23.87
swoops and manages to send
the first transatlantic signal.
00:08:23.90\00:08:27.64
His pattern is later denied
00:08:27.67\00:08:29.17
because the design
relied on Tesla's work,
00:08:29.20\00:08:31.71
then the ruling was
overturned in favor of Marconi
00:08:31.74\00:08:34.71
when Andrew
Carnegie and you guesses it,
00:08:34.74\00:08:37.45
Thomas Edison stepped in
with marketing and money.
00:08:37.48\00:08:41.62
In 1943 much later on Marconi's
pattern was reversed again
00:08:41.65\00:08:47.09
and posthumously
awarded to Tesla.
00:08:47.12\00:08:50.16
Getting radio to work at all
00:08:50.19\00:08:51.83
was an endeavor
filled with drama
00:08:51.86\00:08:53.96
but the effects
on communication,
00:08:54.00\00:08:55.83
culture and society
were even more dramatic.
00:08:55.86\00:08:59.13
In 1905 the Japanese navy
obliterated a Russian fleet
00:08:59.17\00:09:02.77
at the battle of
Tsushima and part
00:09:02.80\00:09:04.77
because they had purchased
radio equipment from Marconi.
00:09:04.81\00:09:08.08
Radio distress signals
00:09:08.11\00:09:09.48
saved the lives of
over 700 Titanic passengers
00:09:09.51\00:09:12.51
and subsequently it
became law for every vessel
00:09:12.55\00:09:15.75
to have a wireless
operator listening 24/7.
00:09:15.78\00:09:19.65
People likened
radio to newspapers
00:09:19.69\00:09:21.59
which was helpful
in determining content.
00:09:21.62\00:09:23.96
But there were
several powerful distinctions.
00:09:23.99\00:09:26.80
You don't need to be
literate to listen to radio.
00:09:26.83\00:09:29.43
You also don't
need to make extra time
00:09:29.46\00:09:31.70
because listening
as opposed to reading
00:09:31.73\00:09:34.10
can be a passive experience.
00:09:34.14\00:09:35.90
You can listen to the radio
while you work on other things.
00:09:35.94\00:09:38.77
The radio was like cultural glue
00:09:38.81\00:09:41.01
uniting different
classes and backgrounds
00:09:41.04\00:09:42.81
under the banner of
a needy information.
00:09:42.84\00:09:45.71
The voice of the
man on the street
00:09:45.75\00:09:47.22
was heard alongside
the voice of Orson Welles,
00:09:47.25\00:09:49.75
War of the Worlds
and alongside President
00:09:49.78\00:09:52.25
Franklin D
Roosevelt Fireside chat.
00:09:52.29\00:09:55.12
No president had
ever spoken directly
00:09:55.16\00:09:57.43
and simultaneously to
the American people before.
00:09:57.46\00:10:00.73
Politicians suddenly
need to became great orators,
00:10:00.76\00:10:04.47
propaganda was
easily fed to the masses.
00:10:04.50\00:10:07.60
There was another notable figure
00:10:07.64\00:10:09.00
tied to the origins of radio.
00:10:09.04\00:10:10.77
The same here Tesla's
workshop went up in flames,
00:10:10.81\00:10:13.48
Harold Marshall
Sylvester Richards was born.
00:10:13.51\00:10:16.61
When Marconi sent the
first transatlantic signal
00:10:16.64\00:10:19.61
H.M.S Richards was seven.
00:10:19.65\00:10:21.95
When his first live
sermon was broadcast,
00:10:21.98\00:10:24.62
Richards and radio
were basically the same age.
00:10:24.65\00:10:28.22
In 1929 H.M.S
Richard's ministry took root
00:10:28.26\00:10:31.93
in Los Angeles, California.
00:10:31.96\00:10:34.00
After advertising
one of the massive
00:10:34.03\00:10:36.00
evangelistic
crusades in the radio,
00:10:36.03\00:10:38.13
the station
offered him a daily spot
00:10:38.17\00:10:40.07
for a family worship program.
00:10:40.10\00:10:42.04
Richards was convinced,
00:10:42.07\00:10:44.01
evangelism must
utilize the radio,
00:10:44.04\00:10:47.08
but conference headquarters
thought differently.
00:10:47.11\00:10:49.34
Radio were showing news,
it's never been done before
00:10:49.38\00:10:51.81
and besides it's
the devil's tool.
00:10:51.85\00:10:54.48
After all alcohol is
advertised over the radio
00:10:54.52\00:10:56.99
and so are cigarettes.
00:10:57.02\00:10:59.09
The devil's tool,
that's what it is.
00:10:59.12\00:11:01.96
While the conference
remained unconvinced,
00:11:01.99\00:11:04.23
Richards grew more obsessed.
00:11:04.26\00:11:06.29
Finally a friend confronted him.
00:11:06.33\00:11:08.20
Herald, you still haven't
done anything about radio.
00:11:08.23\00:11:11.17
Do you believe in it?
00:11:11.20\00:11:12.53
I know God wants me to do this,
00:11:12.57\00:11:14.24
he won't leave
me alone about it.
00:11:14.27\00:11:16.00
Do you really believe
God wants you on the radio?
00:11:16.04\00:11:18.67
Yes, I do.
00:11:18.71\00:11:20.04
I know he wants me on the radio.
00:11:20.08\00:11:21.84
No you don't.
00:11:21.88\00:11:23.21
You don't believe
in any such thing.
00:11:23.24\00:11:24.58
What do you mean?
00:11:24.61\00:11:26.01
I do believe it, I really do.
00:11:26.05\00:11:28.08
Well if God
wants you on the radio,
00:11:28.12\00:11:29.65
and you believe
that's where he wants you,
00:11:29.68\00:11:31.59
why aren't you on the radio?
00:11:31.62\00:11:34.16
The weight of his own fear
00:11:34.19\00:11:35.62
and unbelief hit
Richard's like a ton of bricks.
00:11:35.66\00:11:38.29
The very next night
when he stood at the door
00:11:38.33\00:11:40.30
to collect offering,
00:11:40.33\00:11:41.70
he told the congregation
00:11:41.73\00:11:43.06
that his left co
pocket would the radio pocket.
00:11:43.10\00:11:46.27
If they believed in
the ministry's potential,
00:11:46.30\00:11:48.57
they could donate.
00:11:48.60\00:11:50.07
In the middle of
the great depression,
00:11:50.11\00:11:52.01
H.M.S Richard's local
congregation gave $220,
00:11:52.04\00:11:56.34
that equates to
over $3000 in 2015.
00:11:56.38\00:12:00.32
They gave it in cash,
gold jewelry and even teeth.
00:12:00.35\00:12:04.49
Night after night,
00:12:04.52\00:12:05.92
the money for airtime
filled the radio pocket
00:12:05.95\00:12:08.72
while most radio
preachers only preached.
00:12:08.76\00:12:11.29
Richards worked with
a producer and musicians
00:12:11.33\00:12:13.70
to create a
professional polished program
00:12:13.73\00:12:16.00
called the
Tabernacle of the Air.
00:12:16.03\00:12:18.50
Once a week broadcast
became daily broadcast.
00:12:18.53\00:12:21.34
Letters poured
in with questions,
00:12:21.37\00:12:23.17
prayer request and cash.
00:12:23.20\00:12:25.14
Programming
expanded, Lone Star Four
00:12:25.17\00:12:28.28
and all male quartet
became a staple on the show.
00:12:28.31\00:12:31.78
Evening meetings were recorded
00:12:31.81\00:12:33.38
and sent out as far
as the Atlantic coast,
00:12:33.42\00:12:35.88
Alaska, New
Zealand and Australia.
00:12:35.92\00:12:38.89
This went on for seven years
00:12:38.92\00:12:40.82
with no support
from the conference.
00:12:40.86\00:12:43.53
Finally, in 1937
the Union Conference
00:12:43.56\00:12:46.46
decided to unite
with ongoing ministry
00:12:46.49\00:12:49.00
and actually
convinced H.M.S Richards
00:12:49.03\00:12:51.47
to move into radio full time.
00:12:51.50\00:12:54.24
From then on, the Voice
of Prophecy was transmitted
00:12:54.27\00:12:56.91
over the air waves
twice a week coast to coast
00:12:56.94\00:13:00.11
by 89 different radio stations.
00:13:00.14\00:13:02.91
After a renaming contest,
00:13:02.94\00:13:04.71
the Lone Star Four
became the King's Heralds.
00:13:04.75\00:13:08.12
Richards became a
recognized radio authority.
00:13:08.15\00:13:11.45
The Oregon
Conference sent Julius L Tucker
00:13:11.49\00:13:14.16
to learn everything
he could from Richards.
00:13:14.19\00:13:16.89
Eventually Tucker would learn
00:13:16.93\00:13:18.73
enough to found his own program,
00:13:18.76\00:13:21.00
The Quite Hour.
00:13:21.03\00:13:22.80
Today because
of H.M.S. Richards,
00:13:22.83\00:13:24.60
the Voice of Prophecy
can be heard in nearly
00:13:24.63\00:13:26.80
three dozen languages.
00:13:26.84\00:13:28.54
Bible lessons are
available in over 70 languages.
00:13:28.57\00:13:32.67
Adventist world radio
broadcast in 80 languages
00:13:32.71\00:13:35.81
and estimates that
they are able to reach
00:13:35.84\00:13:37.75
an astounding two-thirds
00:13:37.78\00:13:39.75
of the world's total population.
00:13:39.78\00:13:42.48
Embracing new tools
and innovation brought
00:13:42.52\00:13:44.85
Seventh-day Adventist
missions into the modern world
00:13:44.89\00:13:47.82
and radio was
just the first step
00:13:47.86\00:13:50.06
in another 50 years of growth.
00:13:50.09\00:13:52.39
Well, I hope that you
have enjoyed today's program
00:14:00.90\00:14:03.07
and more importantly
that you have been inspired
00:14:03.10\00:14:06.01
and challenged by the stories
that you have seen and heard.
00:14:06.04\00:14:09.98
Around the world
today many missionaries,
00:14:10.01\00:14:12.35
many frontline
workers, many church planters
00:14:12.38\00:14:15.55
are sharing the
life of God's love.
00:14:15.58\00:14:18.02
It is very challenging for
them in many different ways
00:14:18.05\00:14:20.49
and it's so
encouraging to them to know that
00:14:20.52\00:14:22.96
there are
people around the world
00:14:22.99\00:14:24.36
who are praying for them.
00:14:24.39\00:14:25.79
So thank you so
much for your prayers,
00:14:25.83\00:14:28.03
thank you for your
personal involvement
00:14:28.06\00:14:30.27
and thank you so much
for your mission offerings,
00:14:30.30\00:14:33.07
your tithe, your
gifts to Global Mission
00:14:33.10\00:14:35.64
that makes such
a huge difference,
00:14:35.67\00:14:38.14
that open up doors of
opportunity for mission.
00:14:38.17\00:14:41.34
Before we go, I
would like to offer you
