00:29 Next up, a delicious vegetarian recipe
00:32 from the Mission 360 Kitchen.
00:35 Welcome to our Mission 360 Kitchen.
00:37 And we like to share recipes from around the world.
00:40 We like to think of the world
00:41 as kind of a global neighborhood.
00:43 And so we're going to share something with you today that
00:46 I think you're going to really enjoy.
00:48 What's on the menu today?
00:49 Today, we're going to make a chilled strawberry soup
00:52 that is inspired by Chile.
00:54 Chile is actually one of the leading exporters
00:56 of strawberries in the world, did you know that?
00:58 Wow. It's impressive.
01:00 Yes.
01:01 Actually, I think I have seen some strawberries from Chile
01:04 during the winter time here in North America so.
01:06 That makes sense.
01:07 We get to enjoy them a lot longer.
01:09 Right. Luckiest.
01:10 Well, the ingredients that we're going to be using
01:12 for our soup recipe is very simple.
01:15 We're using fresh strawberries,
01:16 we're going to use about four cups of them.
01:18 We're going to use
01:20 a cup and a half of the orange juice.
01:22 And if your strawberries are a little bit tart,
01:25 you might want to add a little bit of sugar.
01:26 Otherwise, if they're sweet,
01:28 you don't need to use the sugar at all.
01:30 And just for a variation,
01:31 we're going to put in a little bit of allspice
01:34 and a little bit of cinnamon just to make it interesting.
01:37 We're also going to put in a little bit of lemon juice,
01:39 just to kind of keep it fresh.
01:41 And, so let's get started. Okay.
01:44 So first we start with the strawberries.
01:46 Okay.
01:48 Sometimes people think of this recipe
01:50 is more of a smoothie,
01:51 but it can be a smoothie or a drink or a soup.
01:55 But we're just going to call it a soup for today's purposes.
02:00 Strawberries looks so red. Nice and red.
02:03 And then we just pour in the orange juice over it.
02:12 If you need to,
02:14 you can substitute apple juice for that.
02:15 So it kind of depends on what you have
02:17 in your kitchen.
02:18 And here's a little bit of lemon juice
02:20 we're going to add, a tablespoon.
02:23 Just a little bit. Okay.
02:26 And I'm going to add just because I like the spices,
02:29 I'm going to add just a pinch of these spices,
02:32 just to add something to it.
02:34 And you can always adjust it and add more as you wish.
02:37 Or you can just leave them out.
02:40 Add a little bit of kick, just noticeable.
02:42 Yes, it will be.
02:43 Shall we put just a little bit of the sugar in?
02:45 I'd say just a tad.
02:46 Yeah, there we go. Okay.
02:48 We'll save the rest of them in case we need it.
02:50 Okay.
02:51 All right. Let's put the lid on.
02:54 Okay, so we're just going to pulse this a little bit
02:56 until it gets nice and mixed and pulpy.
03:09 Oh, that was good.
03:13 That is really quick.
03:16 So we're going to show you
03:18 what it looks like in the fancy glass,
03:20 in case you want to use it as drink.
03:22 So I'll give you a little taste, Kayla.
03:24 We've a treat.
03:27 That's enough to taste.
03:29 Thank you.
03:31 Here's another one.
03:36 So let's give it a try.
03:43 So good. It's delicious.
03:45 Strawberries are really delicious.
03:47 That's one way to have it.
03:50 Another way to have it would be
03:51 to serve it just in a bowl like this.
03:54 And you've already tasted, Kayla, so.
03:56 But that's one way to serve it.
03:58 I'm going to put some here in my bowl,
04:01 and you can always garnish it by adding a slice of banana
04:04 or a piece of papaya or just leave it as it is.
04:08 But here we have a bowl of cubed banana bread,
04:11 which makes it a little bit chunkier.
04:13 A lot of people like
04:16 something that's a little more substantial.
04:19 So give that one a try, Kayla, see what you think.
04:21 I can't wait, I love banana bread.
04:27 Does it taste the same as before
04:29 or is it taste different with the banana bread?
04:30 It does but I get the banana in there
04:32 and the nuts are really good.
04:33 Great, I think you could put it on granola
04:35 or use it over your oatmeal
04:37 or just use it as a drink like this too.
04:40 So thanks for joining us at Mission 360 Kitchen,
04:42 and we'll see you again next time.
04:45 Welcome back to Mission 360°.

04:59 Next up, we travel to South America
05:01 to see some 13th Sabbath Offering projects.
05:15 Each time Nilda goes home, she's reminded of God's grace.
05:19 It was just a few short years ago
05:21 that her home in Salvador, Brazil
05:23 was destroyed by a landslide caused by heavy rain.
05:27 This wasn't the first time her world fell apart.
05:30 When Nilda gave birth to her son Nathan,
05:32 her husband left her.
05:34 Nathan was born with autism and cerebral palsy,
05:38 making it difficult
05:39 to nurture him as a single mother.
05:41 She had no money to spare
05:42 because all of her money went toward medical bills
05:45 and treatments for her son.
05:49 After the landslide,
05:50 Nilda had no money to rebuild her home.
05:53 Her faith in God slipped away
05:55 as she fell into a deep depression.
05:57 But then a fellow church member heard what happened
06:00 to Nilda's house
06:01 and called for a church meeting.
06:08 The local Adventist Church banded together
06:11 and completely rebuilt Nilda's house.
06:14 They even reconstructed it
06:15 to a higher standard than before
06:18 to protect against flooding and landslides.
06:21 They also added a second level
06:23 to ensure there would always be a dry living area
06:25 for Nilda and Nathan.
06:28 Nilda sometimes visits the lower level
06:30 where she and Nathan had lived before.
06:33 This space reminds her of the rainy nights
06:35 she didn't sleep,
06:37 hauling buckets of water out of the rooms.
06:39 Sometimes the water would flood high enough to reach her knees.
06:43 The furniture was destroyed over and over again.
06:46 But Nilda's greatest concern was for Nathan
06:49 to get a good night sleep.
06:51 She remembers carrying Nathan up these stairs
06:54 every time they needed to leave the house
06:56 for his treatment or simply to buy food.
06:59 It was a time when Nilda's hope was slipping,
07:02 but her Adventist neighbor's compassion
07:04 gave her hope again.
07:11 I saw the Lord moving in our lives
07:14 says He had compassion on me and my son.
07:17 I saw that they did what God teaches,
07:19 which is to love your neighbors.
07:22 Today, if I see a person in need,
07:24 I will take the time to help them as well.
07:27 This is the love the Lord wants us to exercise.
07:31 They made me very happy.
07:40 Today Nilda's house
07:41 proudly displays a sign that says, "Builders of hope,"
07:45 a project of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
07:49 The community was so touched
07:51 by the generosity of the Adventist Church
07:53 that they began visiting her and asking questions about it.
07:56 The church members not only rebuilt Nilda's home,
08:00 God also use them to rebuild her faith.
08:05 I opened my doors to everyone.
08:07 My house is a house of prayer for everyone in the community.
08:11 The people come here to worship and sing.
08:14 The things that were done in my life,
08:16 I try to pass on to others,
08:19 the love and compassion
08:20 we need to have for one another.
08:24 Nilda is passionate about spreading the gospel.
08:27 She's the leader of a small group
08:29 that meets in her home every Friday night.
08:31 Through this small group,
08:33 many of her neighbors
08:35 have given their hearts to Jesus.
08:40 I just want to thank God for what He has done in my life
08:44 and in the lives of my children.
08:47 May God keep using me each day through His Holy Spirit
08:51 that I may be a light and a living example
08:55 to show people that Jesus is coming soon.
09:00 This quarter a portion of your 13th Sabbath Offering
09:04 will help construct a church,
09:05 an urban center of influence in Salvador,
09:08 where Nilda lives.
09:10 It will also help another project in Brazil
09:12 and two projects in Peru.
09:15 Please pray for these projects
09:17 as God uses faithful church members
09:20 to touch the lives of people throughout South America.
09:23 Thanks for supporting mission.
09:42 Well, that's about it for today's program
09:44 and I hope that you've been challenged
09:45 and inspired
09:47 by our 360 degree view of mission around the world.
09:51 As we look at huge cities like Tokyo,
09:53 we see an amazing mission challenge
09:56 and as you walk through the streets
09:58 and the neighborhoods, you see communities,
10:00 you see sub communities,
10:02 you see families out for a walk together
10:04 and you look at the high rises and you ask yourself,
10:06 wouldn't it be wonderful
10:08 if we could have a home church
10:10 in each one of these high rises?
10:12 And I hope that you've been challenged
10:13 by what you've seen regarding church planting
10:16 because as we plant new groups of believers,
10:18 church begins to grow,
10:20 the church becomes healthier
10:21 and we become what God wants us to be.
10:25 I want to thank you so much for your continuing support
10:27 of mission around the world.
10:29 And before we go,
10:30 I want to show you a small music video
10:33 and as the music plays,
10:35 please take the opportunity to pray about mission.
10:37 Pray about your personal involvement.
10:39 I want to thank you for your prayers
10:41 and your financial support that helps mission go forward.
10:45 For Adventist Mission, I'm Gary Krause.
10:47 And I hope that you can join me next time
10:49 right here on Mission 360°.
